! ASK CLUB WOMEN TO AID IN
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE CAMPAIGN

A special appeal to the club women
in the United States has been issued
by the United States Commissioner
of Education, Dr. p P. Claxton, urging
that the influence of the organizations
they represtn be given to the main
tenance of the schools of the nation in
their full efficiency during the present
crisis. DR.. Claxton says
Everywhere there seems to be fear
lest aur schools of all kinds and
grades, and especially the public
schools. will suffer this year because
of conditions growing out of our en-
trance into the war On the other
hand, both for the present defence and
for future welfare of our country, as
well as for the individual benefit of the
children, t is of the greatest fmpor-
lance that the schools shall be main
itained in their full efficiency, both as
to standards of work and attendance
of children.
While the war continues there will
be many unusual temptations to many
kinds of juvenile delinqencies. Prompt
and regular attendance at school and
proper employment during out-of-
school hours will be the children's
surest protection against such tempta-
lions.
when the boys and girls now of
school age have manhood and woman
lhood there will be need for higher
standard of intelligence, skill and wis
dom for the work Of life and for the
duties and responsibilities of citizen
ship than we have ever yet attained
Our schools must now be so sustained
ard improved as to enable them bet
ter to prepare our boys and girls for
| life and work in the new which
will follow the close Of the war and
! the coming of peace. No boys and
girls must now be neglected or exploit
ed for selfish ends.
In all this probably no othrs can
be quite 50 helpful as the club women
Of the country, most of whom are also
mothers Of children. For this reason
Il am taking the liberty of suggesting
to them that in all women's clubs this
should be made a subject of discussion
at their first meetings this fall and
from time to time throughout the
year"

SKIRTS T0 BIZ
SHORT AND TiGHI

The first American buyers who
have hrayed the ocean-crossing and
who have seen the semi-annual dis
n1av of French creations in dress
have returned to New York. They are
enthusiastic over the coming Partisan
modes for autumn and winter.
Mr.. Ralph Beedd, who represents
several American firms, made a special
trim for these openings. In speaking
Of the new styles Mr.. Breed is quoted
as saying:
81 noticed one thing l have not seen
in Paris since the beginning OF the
war-there is vivacity, mare hope dis
nlaved, and this shows in the creative
talent and bright colors. The dress
makers outdid themselves in meetins
the demands of the American buyer.
More than fifty we're there AS almost
every one represented more than one
American concern, the result must
have been satisfactory financially
When asked regarding the new tight
skirts, Mr.. Breed said: Yes, skirts
are tight and short But there always
is a long, flowing over tunic, or coat
which takes away any skinny look that
the dress might have. Another new
thing is a tunic coat-that is, they
| slim on over the head. At first this
might seem impractical, but the open
ing is so large that a woman can SIP
this coat off down over the shoulders
so that it is not in the way if she Is
dining in restaurant. Lanvin, Doucet
and Premet all show these coats.
some of the dance frocks are so
short they barely cover the calf OF the
leg. Premet has very clever way OF
suggesting the waist line with two
faced ribbons, and ribbons futter ev-
ervwhere in this collection.
Another peculiariay of the mode IL
the combination of materials seen In
dresses. The French creators nave
shown. how cleverly they can hide the
shortage and still produce marvels.'

be the producer of those exquisite
tones, whose purity and volume might

Miss Candy gave us her opening

Americans who come over hardly get
here before they begin to complain
about their salary, that they are not
making enough to live on.
"The worst Of it is they are telling
the truth. | find myself that I spent
money very freely because cant
somehow realize that a franc or a lire
has any rela value This is a delusion
that has stranded many an American
abroad.
Many Americans are coming over
here now partly for military, partly
fer business reasons. and Europe IS
simply going to be flooded with Amer
leans after the war. Many of these
will be here for business, and those
who no stick and succeed will be those
who learn to think in francs instead or
dollars. The deception is one of bigs
figures. We know that one hundred
dollars is a small amount, that it will
only go so far, but when we get ii
exchanged for five hundred francs or
so, think it's enough to last forever.
But it's just the same old hundred dol
lars after all
The field for American goods over
here is unlimited fortunes are being
made now and more will be made at
ter the war, but they will go to the
fellos DO steer clear of this curious
