Many business houses and individ-

derstands that they should be pur

the war savings campaign, last night.

Director Litchford is now engaged
in cnlistinr the support OF the Sunday
schools In the great thrift campaign.
and in connection with this feature OF
the work Lewis Pitcher, superintendent
Of tho Second Baptist Church Sunday
school, has sent out the following let
ter to all teachers in his organization:
During the crisis through which our
country is at present passing. and par
ticulariy at this time OF the year. when
new resolutions are so appropriate, II
would seem fitting that there be
brought TO the attention OF our mem
hers the dcsira bil,y OF thrift;ncss and
the good effect engcndcred morally by
the habit OF saving. Thrift may he
termed Intelligent saving and. there
fore. its regular practice conduces to-
ward good citizenship.
These facts being apparent. It would
seem we'll within the province of sun
day school teachers to bring the subject
20 the attention Of their classes. and l.
accordingly, trust that each OF YOU Will
make an early opportunity TO do this
Il also suggest that the campaign
now being conducted for the sale OF the
government war savings stamps &c re-

BIZ JANE M'IEAN

There were five of them-wisps
of Georgette crepe and lace, all
dainty, all fragile and expensive
looking and all carefully hung on
sacheted hangers made of soft satin.
Edna Marshall loved them beyond
anything in the world. She really
did not realize, herself, how high
value she placed upon them; but
she sacrificed more than money. she
sacrificed time and peace of mind, in
order to possess them.
Since it was the fashion to wear
crepe waists with suit skirts to the
little bridge parties and luncheons
in the neighborhood, it was abso-
lutely necessary for a woman in
Edna's circumstances to possess one
or two nice ones. But Edna wanted
more than two. She coveted them,
and spent every cent she could rake
together on new waists
They had lately become the vogue
in the little town where Edna and
her husband lived. Before then it
had been thought proper to wear
gowns, and of course gowns were
still popular. Shirt waists had
never been looked upon as dressy
enough TO wear for any occasion at
all fashionable.
And then had come the vogue of
the Georgette waist, filmy and Sc
ductive, and some one from the city
a rn1 nf
skirt and waist. That had settled
1t for every woman in the neighbor
hood, and the Emporium, the larg-
est dry goods store in the place, mad
been forced to place an order with Il
house in Cincinnati, for all the wo-
men wanted them.
Started With One.
Edna Marshall began with one,
and she wore this so often that it
quickly became too mussy looking.
So she saved out of her housekeep-
ing money enough to buy another.
She very suddenly began to discard
and to look with disfavor upon her
other waists, and unless she was
garbed in lace and Georgette crepe
she did not feel comfortable.
She. knew that she had no busi-
ness to buy so many, but when the
second order arrived from the city
the first two waists that she had
purchased seemed somehow lacking
in freshness. and shee bought. two
more. She had intended to buy only
one, but there had been a canary
colored one in the collection, and.
so far as she knew, no one else pos
sessed one in that shade. Then she
really needed the white, and so she
bought both.
Il really oughtn't to-" she had
demurred to the anxious saleslady.
why don't you open a charge ac-
COUNT suggested that willy person.
And Edna had succumbed to temp
tation, only to buy still another
waist before the month was out
