|Life'sProblems
Are Discussed
BY Mrs. Wilson Woodrow

One of the most inspiring
memories of my childhood is that of
an old colored woman, Aunt Patsy"
She was tall and of vast proportions.
She always wore a purpIe calico
dress, with a white apron as big as
q table cloth, and high bandana
turban. She was a stern, dictatorial
person, and L was not her favorite
by any means.
Real ladies amt stirrin' erbout
all de time an askin' questions" was
her constant rebuke. Real ladies
sets still, an behaves deirselves."
She would turn over in her gave
to-day, L am sure, if she could but
know of the rapid passing of Sis
ter Susie" For Sister Susie" is the
name that has been adopted to de-
scribe that part of the feminine pop
ulation which has sat still and be-
haved ITSELF" and has been a real
lady according to the Aunt Patsyian
definition, and which now presents
itself to those who are organizing the
woman-power of this country for the
most effective service during the war
as the problem of the unframed
woman.
Poor Sister Susie!' She is left
blooming alone. All her lovely COM
panions have not faded, but they
move gone-gone TO Work.
1 heard one of the members of
the Woman's National Committee
say the other day that in the great
work of organizing the women the
first necessity, the one thing to be
absolutely insisted upon, was the ELI
mination of the unframed woman.
Thousands of them, from the most
patriotic motives, are enthusiastical-
ly Offering their services, ready and
willing to do what is required of
them, merely to learn that they only
clog the machinery, that enthusiasm,
although delightful, is a poor sub
stitute for training. But this refusal
is not final. They are urged to take
up at once some branch of work for
which they are peculiarly fitted and
to devote themselves to becoming eX-
perts in that line.
The enthusiasm and the desire to
help which Sister Susie" is showing
are splendid; but it is a vast power
running to waste, unless it is prop
erly directed and conserved, for we
are going to need all the organized
and disciplined woman power of this
country.
Take the matter of nursing. In the
first zeal for service every woman
wanted to don a Red Cross uniform
and go to the front. She was strong
and healthy. She was sure she should
like to nurse, and she longed to be
of some use in the world. Besides, q
war nurse is a wonderfully pictures
que figure. To see her on the screen
or the stage is to be moved to tears.
She recalls the immortal figure of
Florence Nightingale.
"And every day her dainty hands
make life's soiled temple clean.
And there's a wake of glory where
her spirit pure hath been.
At midnight through the shadowland
her living face doth gleam;
The dying kiss her shadow, and the
dead smile in their dream"
But Sister Susie" failed to recog-
nize either humanity or historically

ALPS w ell That
q Ends Well y

Betty skunk past as though she were
ashamed of being alive and of wear
ing a neatly pressed blue suit and
a smart little hat.
After that, Betty chose the op-
posite side of the street in the
morning. Sometimes she fancied
the woman noticed her, and the fact
made her uncomfortable, but If pos
sible she simply hurried on her way
into the subway station and tried to
forget that the woman was any
where around.
One day it happened that Betty
really wanted to buy the paper. She
was looking for something special,
and as it was a beautiful day, and
she felt particularly well, she ap-
preached the usual place with less
interpolation than she generally felt.
She was accustomed to taking the
paper and leaving a penny in it's
place, but this morning, much to
her chagrin, she discovered that she
had no change and was, therefore,
forced to stop. If she imagined for
a minute that this was going to
happen, she would have hurried on
her way, but after she had stopped
she hadn't the heart to do anything
but buy her paper. The woman eX-
peCted it.
Isn't it a lovely day?" Betty
asked shyly.
The woman smiled, and Betty in
amazement, watched the face be-
fore her change.
Yes, it is a lovely day." the
woman returned. The smile still
fingered on her features as she
counted out Betty's change and then
she lifted her face to the girls
again. Strangely attracted. almost
against her instincts, Betty still
fingered.
Il suppose it's pretty tiresome sit
ting here day in and day out.
have seen you so often" she began
tentatively.
20, yes" the woman returned. "I
have seen you too, always so neat,
so happy"
yes, 1 am happy" the girl re-
turned.
But lately you don't walk on my
side, how is that?" questioned the
woman in her foreign way.
Betty flushed uncomfortably She
hardly knew what to answer. But
before she could speak, the woman
went on speaking.
You think it's tiresome for me?
All, no, 1 love the work. 1 sit here
and feel the sun or the rain, and
watch the people. o, the people!"
she sighed happily. II grow to
know them all. Why there is moth
ing so nice in the world as my pa
per stand. Tiresome you say? All,
no, not that"
And Betty on her way to business
felt somehow as if she had learned
a much needed lesson.

BY JANE MCLEAN

Betty passed the old woman ev-
cry morning, rain or shine. Some
times the raindrops shining on her
wet face made Betty sorrowtul for
the day; but when it was clear she
was content to buy a paper and
hurry away.
Betty, like the average girl who
works in the city, was warm
hearted and impulsive. To her, the
idea of an old woman working for
living by selling papers was ter
rible. Betty thought Of her own
good position, and involuntarily
compared her comfortable salary
with what the old woman made.
How terrible, the girl reflected, that
at that age it was necessary to work
in order to keep alive. And yet
there must be plenty of people who
were forced to do it; and although
it wrung her heart each morning,
rain or shine, Betty came to busi-
ness the same way and always
stopped to get paper.
Once Helen caught an early train
and journeyed down town with her,
and they stopped together to buy a
paper. 1t happened to be rainy
morning and the woman's greying
hair glistened with wet drops.
How terrible" Helen exclaimed,
as they gained the shelter of the
subway steps.
What" asked Betty, although she
knew perfectly well.
why to see that old woman out
on a morning like this, selling pa
you ever thin kof being old, Betty,
yo uever think of being old, Betty,
and dependent on someone else? 1t
must be terrible to be old"
20, for Heavens sake, Helen"
said Betty pettishly don't begin to
talk about the future on a morning
like this. Wait until the sun shines
and 1 can manage to be philosophi-
CAL"
You ought to be able to face the
truth" Helen returned. I'm glad
when I see a thing like that, that
am safely engaged"
What difference does that
make?" asked Betty scornfully.
"All the difference in the world, If
you can think when you feel blue,
that the man you love is going to
be able to look out for you for the
rest of your life"
Personally, Betty felt this a very
selfish viewpoint, but she did not
say so, she boarded the train in si-
lence and the picture of the old
woman, greying hair glistening in
the rain followed her all day. That
night Betty fearfully emerged from
the subway station and looked
around. She hoped the woman
would not be there, although it had
stopped raining and had dried off
beautifully. But there she was sit
ting in her accustomed place, and

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Fashion is ever looking ahead.
At this season we must consider
the Autumn and its needs.
Here is a coat that will be adj
mirable for many occasions,
also will be really ideal for be-
tween-seasons time. 1t can be
made of serge as it is here, or of
broadcloth or of light weight
burella, or it can be made Of
silk, as you want a serviceable
coat or a dressy one. For be-
tween-season and very early
Autumn, serge is good, unlined
or lined with very thin silk, and
foulard and the like are used
for the purpose. The body por-
ton is plain and smooth fitting
and the full skirt is joined to it.
The pockets make a very smart
feature and the straps that ex>
tend over the belt are novel
and attractive. For a dressy
coat, charmeuse, or any one of
the silks that are used for cloaks,
would be handsome, and for
real Autumn, it would be very
smart to trim it with velvet.
Here, a light weight Summer
serge is trimmed with satin.
For the medium size will be
needed, S yards of material SO
inches wide, a yards a., 3sS
yards, 81 with N yards SO
inches wide for the trimming.
The pattern No. 94oo is cut
in sizes from "a to AZ inches
bust measure. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on
receipt of fifteen cents.

TWO NOTABLE FUNERALS.

Just a few hours and a few miles
apart in Atlanta last Tuesday there
were two funerals of unusual inter-
est-one of Mr.. Louis Gholstin, who
had dropped asleep in his armed chair
quietly after long life in which he
had suffered and enjoyed much, and
the other of Miss Ethel Shelton who
fell at her post of duty before reach
ing "life's meridian height" Both
were sincerely admired and beloved
by many friends. Both had spent
useful and beneficent lives-one as
successful business man and popu-
lar citizen and the other as nurse
and physician in a hospital She
had at one time been associated in
a sanitarium with DR.. Field, of Mari
eta, after receiving years of training
in DR.. Mobiles infirmary She was
magnificent woman in every sense
and devoted her life to relieving the
suffering of humanity but was
scarcely known outside her own cir
Gle of friends except as a devoted
nurse.
After she was stricken she linger-
ed for months but finally also fell
asleep and ceased from sorrows and
pain of earth. While Mr.. Gholstin
was born in Europe and one daugh-
ter was his only relative here, Miss
Shelton has many distant cousins in
Cobb County.
