Don't worry about me; I'll get along all

The young man demurred at first he was
anxious to go, yet felt that his duty was to
stay at home and provide for his mother.
She, however, insisted. and because of her
persistence the son Joined one of the Ma
tional Guard regiments.
The little mother was left alone. But
she was happy, glad that she had been able
to do her bit" for the nation. At home
she set about planning of some other way
in which she could be of service. The gar

Is Ride in Cab Permissible?

To the Editor OF Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-If a man whom you only know
slightly offers to take you home from dance
or party, is 1t permissible to ride alone with
him in taxi? DELLA.
1t is not usual for a girl to go to a party
unless some definite plan has been made
for her to be taken home. If. however, she
goes to a small affair where the hostess has
said she would see to her being taken home
and the man assigned by the hostess to take
her offers to take her in a taxi there is no
reason why she should not ride in II with
him In fact it is better to have man
you know ever slightly in cab with you
than to travel about entirely alone at night.
Under ordinary circumstances, however, II
is better to 20 in the cars or on foot with
a man with whom you are but slightly ac.
quainted.

This sounds like d small thing. yet to
the women who made this resolution 1t
was a distinct sacrifice. 1t Is not that
they necessarily constantly overeat. But
custom has declared for numerous
courses, and in the matter OF entertain.
ing, in particular, curtailment Of the
regulation number means much to a
hostess.
Many women do not appreciate really
what a sacrifice men are making when
they declare their intention to give up
smoking. 1t seems a silly thing, at best,
yet to them It has become almost a neces-
sity. No one should poke fun at another
who is trying to do his Bit" trifiing as
II may seem. 1t is always these little
things that count for so much In our
lives.
