What Are You Doing
About It.?

WAR HAS COME more directly
HOME TO US in the last few days
than ever before. It has lurked
in the peaceful waters just out q
piece from where our babies
splashed their little feet in the
surf.
What are we going to do about
it?
We who cannot ride the seas
to chase the invader away--we
who sit quietly at home and read
Il all in the papers?
We can give our MONEY to
build SHIPS to CONQUER. There
is no Liberty Loan now. But there
are war.savings stamps. This is the
one ever.present way to lend money
to the Government.
Smile when you hear a pessimist
worry about the war. Smile and
go buy a thrift stamp; If you can
possibly scrape the money together.

IL is perfectly correct to be married in
travelling clothes. and as you are plan

so. At such an informal affair with
very few guests the bridegroom's cos
tune may consist of summer suit OF
dark blue or gray; in fact, any color
he may care TO wear so 1t is not too
conspicuous. There Is no set costume

coat and gray trousers are worn. and

q sack suit, straw hat and becoming tie
