American Woman Will Be a
New Type in France After War

PARIS, Feb 5.-"The American wo-
man will come out if the war under an
aspect entirely different from that
hitherto given her by French writer's
ard critics" says the Temps.
For so years she was presented to
us by our romancers and dramitic
authors, as an opulent beauty, OF ex-
travagant wealth, with madness for
expenditure, with eccentric tastes and
life of audacity.
Did they IDEALLY imagine that these
little nervous and eccentric beings that
they presented to us, spoiled children
O. immensely wealthy families, always
agitated, thirsting for pleasure and
noise, were the only American women?
To those who have not the leisure to
cross the ocean, and who content them
selves with observing the American
women among us, the war will have
unveiled the real, visage of many of
them.
1t will be perceived that their ardor
to live may also be an ardor to make
live, passion for devotion to suffer
ing; that the mania of agitation, that
need for hustle" as they call 1t, may
become the most beautiful Of activities

charity. 1t will be perceived that
extravaganza in absurd expenditures
may be changed into sumptuous lar
gesse for good.
THE observer will have seen nurses
animated with the most perfect spirit
Of sacrifice. passing their. time at the
beslsides of ou~ wounded; women put
ting in common their resources to
succor the inhabitants of invaded reg
ions; others utilizing their spirit OF
initiative in the organization of charit-
able works, some traversing France to
distribute clothing to refugees, others
employed in the hospitals right up at
the front, and all of them rivalling
each other in ardor, generosity and
devotion. The observers will then I'M
derstand that the idea they had made
for themselves of the American woman,
the idea popularized under the auspic-
es of the theatre and the romance, was
decidedly at fault. They Will certainly
seize the occasion offered to them, not
only to rectify an inexact type In our
literature, but to find among American
women new figures perfectly true and
moving. Both literature and truth can
only gain thereby"

What tie
Christmas
Waits : Sing

CANTA CLAUS being about to de
sert the city streets for his annual
reindeer ride over the roofs, the
"waits" prepare to sing their centuries
old carols.
In several American cities has been
revived the beautiful old custom of the
"waits" going about from house to
house singing the familiar old songs
Light the Christmas candles In your
window If you want them to stop be-
fore your home!
God rest gou merry, gentlemen; LEI

they will surely sing that, perhaps the
best known of all old English carols.
And this too:
HGrli The herald angels sing,
Glory to the nes0born King.
And, of course, 20 Little Town Of
Bethlehem"
Perhaps, too, they win sing what is
said to be the earliest known Christ
mrs carol, dating from the Anglo-NOr-
man days Of. the thirteenth century,
which begins:

This carol ends with the toast Of
those, days:
"Here, then. / bid you al wassail,
cursed be he who will not say drink
hail" Wassaip meaning your health
and "drlnkhail" being the usual and
courteous acknowledgment.
One Of the best known Of all the old
carols, although not one Of the oldest,
was written by Nahum Tate In 1908
and Is called the "Song Of the Angels"
1t begins:
While shepherds matched their Rocks
by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came doSOR
And glory shOae around.
Many are the carols in which Brit
aims ancient holly figures. "Then

who have scorned each other or injur-
ed friend or brother, come gather here.
And then there's that grand old hymn
"Adeste Fideles," sung in every church
in this land and in others, at this
Christmas season:
oh, come, all ye fGithfaL
Joyful and triumphant
Come ve, oh, come ye to Bethlehem!
Christmas would not be Christmas,
of course, if the waits were to neg

old carols:

Matter Of Clothing.

In the matter Of clothing war has
brought the navy even greater activ-
fty. This winter for the first time in
many years Uncle Sans Jack tars re-
quire heavy winter clothing. For in
the peaceful winters since the Spanish
war most Of our warships have spent
the cold months in the West Indies,
where chiefly the lighter summer
clothing was adequate and the amount
of heavy winter clothing required very
small.
Take the old navy Of $4,000 men,
Increase it in few months to more
than 100000, and send it into the chill,
damp climate of the submarine zone
off the British isles, from latitude 20
straight up to latitude 60, and anyone
can see that whole new scheme Of
clothing is required.
Just the other day the navy was
compelled to issue a statement on this
point to dlscredlt rumors that its men
in northern waters we're lnhueQuaLeIy
clad and that thousands Of patriotic
women would have to knit sweaters,
socks, mittens, and other heavy wooden
garments for them. Nothing to lit
Admiral MCGOWAN started knitting
sweaters early last spring, when the
first division of destroyers was sent to
European waters, and as a clothier and
furnisher for the navy he has been
able to set pace which left volunteer
knitters far behind months ago. The
navy's new scheme Of winter clothing
Is on q scale Of magnitude, variety.
and fitness far beyond anything that
could be attained through volunteer
