Society in War Time

In striving to make the world safe for democracy, America is
becoming democratic herself. As our young men throw off civilian
garb and get under the khaki, they look pretty much alike-very
much like brothers. Fellows who didn't live in the same end Of the
town at home, and didn t travel in the same set, are now pals in the
great democratic army.
Back home their mothers are meeting for the first time in the
Red Cross, or a War Mothers club. The rich mother and the poor
mother have something to draw them together IS sisters-in hope
and sympathy now; later, perhaps, in grief.
There is a tendency toward simplicity and democracy in dress.
Many are proud to wear the garb of the Red Cross-and that isn't
silk for the rich and cotton for the poor.
The moment there was something worth while to do, rich girls
Of spirit and poor girls of spirit seized the opportunity to do what
they might to help win the war.
Now, with the patriotic, democratic leaven working among all
women of spirit, would not the women themselves welcome a new
standard of aristoeracy-an arstocracy of worth, not wealth.
Would they not welcome a change in the so-called society
column that would chronicle only the Worthwhile doings of the
women who are doing what they may to help win the warf
The idler among women as well as among men will be on the
fringe OF society soon. The wearing of jewels and elaborate gowns
will attract attention still, but a different kind of attention. 1t will
look awfully out of place. The service pin on a mother will mean
more. to the people of America than the biggest diamond dad can
buy.
And when you see the service pin, do YOU care whether it IS on a
silk gown or a cotton frockf
