leaving the checks in your gifts, so
that they can be exchanged. What
possible reason is there for giving
gifts with such a spirit?"
ut means just as much to us. It's
too bad that more of us don't give
gifts with more careful discrimina-
ton, and then there would be no eN-
changes. For instance. asking before
hand what was wanted"
Yes, and all telling each other, l
suppose. What on earth would you
give gifts at all for, under those
conditions?"
ut would be better giving them
that way than buying something,
anything, in fact, one happens to see,
without stopping to think whether
1t would be suitable or not. For in
stance, that gift from Marie; if she
had stopped to think of me, or of my
home, she would have known better
than, to send me a novelty ash tray.
OF course, it is enamelled and very
cunning, and might be suitable for
some women. but Marie has known
me for years. she knows that l don't
smoke, and yet because she happens
to see this thing she sends it to me
without stopping to think. What
good does it do me? It's no possible
good, even for you, because it is so
small, and there you are"
Yes, but it is a gift, and 1 say
that you ought to receive it as SUCH"
II simply took that as an example.
don't think that gift was sent with
any forethought. l can just see
Marie hurrying through her shop
ping and buying anything to get it
off her mind. L spoke of it in order
to defend myself, dear, against what
you said about the plan we women
have adopted. At least you will ad-
NIT that it is better to leave an ele-
ment of surprise, and still have an
opportunity for exchange is neces-
sary.'
"Oh, 1 suppose so; anything to
give you your own way; but l still
think that some of you women
simply exchange gifts in order to
get into the shops again. 1t seems
to be Il mania with some of you"
Not with me-" retorted Helen,
"and not with a great many women.
Go on down to the office, dear, and
stop being cross. I'll take time to
take your things over, so don't
worry

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Of course you will want at
least one gown that gives the
hustle effect for it makes the
feature of the season. 1t really
is not a hustle, it is just a pretty,
graceful back drapery, and as
it is shown here it makes the
smartest possible effect. The
material is the soft chiffon velvet
that is being SO extensively worn
combined with a fancy crepe and
there is a little fur trimming to
give quality. We must wear
velvet and silk and cotton ma
terials this season for the wool
is needed for the soldiers, and
this gown requires so little ma
terial that if you make it your
self you can have the velvet and
the pretty crepe yet incur no
undue expenditure. 1t can be
copied in satin, as a matter of
course, with Georgette crepe or
with lace or with any material
that you prefer. The collar is
extended to form over-portions
at the front of the blouse that
are distinctly novel and the back
of the blouse is made of the same
material.
For the medium size the
blouse will require, 2 yards of
material SO inches wide with
% yard of velvet SO. For skirt
will be needed, as yards of
material SO inches wide.
The bodice pattern No. o5o8
is cut in sizes from "a to "a
inches bust measure, and the
SIX rt pattern No. e6oI in sizes
from 24 to 80 inches waist
measure. They will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on
receipt of fifteen cents for each.

Advice to the LoveIorn
TWO LETTERS

DEAR MISSS FAIRFAX:
1 am sixteen. Visiting me just at
present is a girl two years my senior,
a very pretty blonde. Now. 1 am in
love with a most attractive young
man. 1 love him dearly, but 1 am
unable to tell whether he comes to
see me or my friend. My friend does
rot care for him, but there are
times when he seems all attentive
to her and Indifferent to me. I am
nearly heartbroken! viii it be prop
er for me to tell my sweetheart my
friend does not care for him.
TROUBLED.
This letter answers the one above.
1t ought to teach all jealous girls
a lesson. 1t may give boys new
ideas of tact and kindness!
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am nineteen, of steady habits
and have good job. L do not
drink or smoke and save half of INV
salary. l am in love with a young
girl about sixteen and have gone
about with her steadily for about six
months. Recently she has had a
friend visiting her who is a very at
tractive blonde about my age.
Whenever go to see my friend this
blonde sticks around and 1 have to
carry on a conversation with the
two of them. l am rather back
ward as a conversationalist and find
this hard to do. l am afraid NV
friend does not care as much for me
as she did before her friend came
to visit her. 1 think she thinks I
am in love with her friend, but / am
not. 1 am simply trying to treat her
nicely, as she is a friend of INV
sweetheart's. l don't know what to
do in a case like this. If 1 don't pay
attention to my friends friend She
may influence my sweetheart against
me- J. 1. +.

Which?

Among all the changes that make
A merica a different place from
what it was year ago none is
more striking than the change in
the position of women. We see
them in uniform on street cars and
in the postal service; we find them
on wharves and in machine shops;
we discover them at prescription
counters in drug stores; we see
girls by the thousands pouring into
offices; and many saleswomen who
wait upon us now are middle aged
or even elderly. In places where
year ago certain organizations
were saying to women, Please keep
out" they are now saying, Come
a nd help us-we need you"
What will it mean for the future
no one can tell Will it mean
more thorough and practical educa
ton for women or, as it too fire.
quently meaning just now. even a
briefer and more superficial educa-
ton. Will it mean happier or less
b aDpy homes? Will it mean high
er national standards or lower?
Now, in the blur and confusion OF
the change. no one can say. But
one thing it certainly does mean to,
day. and that is a challenge to the
American woman such as she has
n ever faced before; for the man OF
the business world is going to treat
the newcomer in his field exactly
as she asks him to treat her-asks
him, not in words, of course, but by
her daily attitude She can de-
mand and receive courtesy, in
places where courtesy has not been
the rule before. She can create re-
speCt not only for her womanhood
but for her ability; every woman
who makes herself valuable-or,
even better. invaluable-in her new
work is breaking a path where hun.
dreds of others will follow. She can
bring a finer conscience to certain
tasks, or she can work merely for
money or for the novelty or excite,
ment of it, blind to the great vision
of responsibility and opportunity,
and caring for nothing except her
own small life, Which shall it be9

The report that the Kaiser has
said he will not be willing to abdi-
cate but that he would consider
converting his office into a heredi-
tary presidency under a constitu-
ton like that of Great Britain is
not confirmed, but it has at least
one earmark of truth. The heredi-
tary nature of the Office to which
the Kaiser aspires accords with
his character and fits in nicely
with the fact that as a candidate
for an elective Office he probably
could not carry his own ward.

The Cost of Living.

Official statistics based upon data
obtained from forty-two large cities
in different parts of the United
States, indicate that the increase
in the cost of living will average:
Food, So per cent; rent, 10 per cent;
clothing, "a per cent; fuel and light,
81 per cent; sundries. IS per cent.
The percentage of increase, gradual
ed according to income, is as fol-
lows, Families with incomes up to
$500, 40 per cent; with incomes
from $500 to $1,000, 38 per cent;
ia miles with incomes from $1,000
to $4,000, 81 per cent. These fig
ures show how much more it cost
to live January 1, 1918, thai on
January 1, 1916, provided the
standards of living remained the
same. They will probably fall short
of the true increase, because when
prices are rapidly rising, cheaper
articles are substituted by the pro-
ducer as we'll by the consumer 1t
is indicated that the rate of increase
at the present time over that OF
January would be obtained if about
6 per cent or 7 per cent is added
to all of the above figures. The
&C tual statistics fail to bear out the
generally accepted remark: 1T
costs twice as much to live now as
it used to-"
That people as a whole have &C
cepted lower standard of living is
proven by the official figures show
ing that the actual increase in an,
nual expense runs from twenty
ty-three to thirty.one per cent 10
different sections of the country.
II is likewise interesting to follow
the industrial situation, and to find
out how it is hit by economic
changes. The labor situation has
become big problem in all indus
tries. owing to the rapid increases
in wages. The cost of materials
fuel and transportation has added
to the burden of the situation.
