BY Cynthia Grey.

She earns $40 a week selling
blouses and she spends 81 for din
ner six days a week and $1.25
Sundays.
With breakfasts and lunches,
rent, shoes, laundry and other
necessities of civilization to pay
for, she naturally finds 1t diff
cult to save the price OF a winter
coat.
An older woman pointed out her
dollar-a-dinner extravaganza.
"But must have service
walled the girl.
Not that she had been brought
up with formal service at table.
Her mothers methods were simple
she herself described them as
from skillet to gullet."
To this girl, a waiter with a
tray means a distinct rise in the
social scale. Her pose In itself is
unimportant. Nobody but herself
cares whether a waiter passes her
the butter or whether "she does
her own reaching"
But her pose is significant as a
symptom of woman's general atti-
tude toward order and beauty, and
this attitude is most important at
the present time.
Most women have some pet
niceness which they cherish as
they do their virtue, sometimes
have sold their souls for elegance.
more than their virtue, for many

humanity like democracy, or

people, the doctor and his (the
baby's) mother would try only
to see the perfect baby, perfect
because the reflection of a per-
feet God, it wouldn't be long
before that perfectness would
be reflected in that little body.
Would killing that dear baby
be overcoming the wrong
which is holding him? No, 1t
would only be making 1t the
error the real child instead of
knowing the baby as in and of
God. Because a doctor says
the baby will be always a hope
less idiot, does not make 1t SO.
God is Good; that dear baby is
a Son Of God of all that is good.
Then why lay down q life of
sickness for him the only escape
b ,ing the grave? There Is alb
solutely no error of any kind
which God cannot heal, now as
In the olden times.

An Editorial For Women

Men are not so stubborn. Per-
haps they have larger vision OF
what the individual can do to end
the war. Thousands Of nice boys
who were brought up Ito behave
mannerly at table" are managing
today to get along somehow with
out napkins at the army mess.
And maids and mistresses have
been sadly mixed in Europe's war
cauldroD. In England, the land
sacred tn the served and the SER
want in peacetime, dainty ladies'
are proud to cook their own food
and to eat 1t without service.
This spirit is the very essence
of democracy, but 1t is far away
from the thought and the appre-
citation of several hundred thou
sand American women.
The service problem is acute
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
AS wages, salaries and dividends
increase and provide housewives
with more money to pay out for
service, the women of certain So
cial sets scream louder about the
scarcity Of domestic help than ever
the American eagle can scream
about the war.
Those who insist on parading 4
personal pet niceness as of so
great Importance in these days Of
the worlds greatest sorrows ought
to be reminded, now and then.
that true refinement is not made
manifest by buffers and house
maids.
1t is flower Of the spirit ana
1t blossoms most beautifully In
service given rather than in SER
vice received.
Moreover, the only worth while
service OF the time is spelled
S-A-C-R-1-F-I-C-E.

coming into the lobster palace of
Chicago and ordering bread and
milk. My dear, the waiter will
fall dead"
LET us try him." I coaxed as
the idea grew in my brain.
Are you sure you want nothing
more than that-nothing to
drink"
You know, Jim, that l never
drink liquor, If that is what you
are offering me. do not want
anything to eat but bread and
milk. You can make it half and
half"
Sounds like Child's, doesn't
it," chuckled Jim as he called
the waiter.
Little book, sometimes I wish
you had eyes. That waters face
as he took my order was a sight
for gods and men. Jim tried to
even things up by ordering a club
sandwich and highball, but we
could see that in spite Of my low
cut gown and wonderful emeralds
and Jim's irreproachable evening
clothes we had lost caste.
When the waiter brought the
order he had pitcher Of milk and
one of cream, a tall glass and a
plate Of bread and butter. 1 was
almost afraid he would turn us
out when l demanded a bowl
and dessert spoon. But he did
bring them.
81 think, Margie," said Jim, che
was more shocked at your bread
and milk order than he would
have been had you lighted
cigaret, and yet he would have
thought nothing of serving you
wine or cocktails until you would
have had to have assistance to get
out Of the room"
What hypocrites we are. little
book
was glad of all the fuss made
over my bread and milk, for 1t
made me forget for the moment
the theme of the play we had seen.
And then the music started a
fox trot and Jim and l began to
dance. There is no physical exer-
else that so appeals to me as
dancing. 1t is poetical In it's
rhythm, celebrating In its per-
Torrance and perfect in its con-
tent.
1 was 80 happy dancing, little
book, that did not notice at
first that Jim and / had the floor
to ourselves, but all at once Jim
whispered. They think we are
professionals, l guess, Margie.
Let's give them an eve full"
laughed and nodded, and then
we started in to do stunts. Jim,
as usual, was up in all new steps
and l had danced with him SO
much that 1 followed him almost
unconsciously. With the exception
of Malcolm Stuart, Jim is the
best dancer have ever known,
and in a moment or two l had for
gotten everything but the joy of
youth in the most youthful of all
exercises.
When we finished there was
burst of applause as we hurried
back to our table, and l could see
by the way the waiter beamed at
me that he thought he had solved
the riddle of my bread and milk.

Time Works Wonders

Less than 20 years ago every enemy the United
States had in the world was highly pleased over
our troubles in the Philippines. Our troops were
contending with what seemed formidable Fill
pino insurrection led by Emilio Aguinaldo, man
of considerable ability and genius for power.
To the Europeans who wished us i'll it seemed
there lay in this revolution the seeds Of endless
trouble so big were the islands, so varied and
numerous and warike their people, so far away
from our source Of military supply.
But American bravery coupled with American
tact and American kindness won the day. And
see how time works its wonders. Today Emilio
Aguinaldo is peaceful and law-abiding and busy
citizen, who Loyalty buys Liberty Loan bonds, as
did many other Filipinos. And included in the
$4,000 Filipino troops who are taking regular
training and whose services have been offered to
Uncle Sam is a son of that same Aguinaldo.

umbrella from another member
several weeks ago, and didn't re-
turn it, kindly bring 1t along to
the next meeting?"
Everybody read the note and
nobody had any comments.
Now the funny thing has hap
pened.
Every member but one escorted
an umbrella to the meeting.
A still funnier event happened
later.
Only one carried an umbrella
away with her.
Eighteen umbrellas were left in
the hall after the club had ad-
journed.
Clearly 1t is case Of a Sher-
lock Holmes; the club reporter
doesn't know what to make of it.

Ny Dear Miss Grey:

My Dear Miss Grey:

Does God, Good, send health

Uncle Will

Lord Northcliffe tells Lloyd George that, if the
allies don't get move on, Uncle Sam is likely to
take entire management of large part of the
war.
Evidently, Northcliffe studied us thoroly dur
ing his recent sOjourn of months in our midst.
History shows that in all his wars Uncle Sam has
been slow to start but that, once agong, he's
much like one of those British tanks
This Characteristic is one of the natural charac-
teristics of democracy. To mobilize public
opinion is job requiring time and persstency.
When such opinion is modified, there comes the
tremendous job of mobilizing resources. But,
with opinion and resources concentrated,
look out for "tank'' effects. Lord Northcliffe
is entirely right in believing that, being modified
and holding the worlds pocketboOk, Uncle Sam
is going to reach for the reins and do considera-
BILE of the driving before the cause is ditched.
And the curious thing about those suffragist pckets
In Washington is that they seem really to think they
