times, and so on it will go.
II is these concrete ways of getting
at the things that deserve the ferveut
support of every American in the land.
There Is temptation to give all ones
time and money to causes that have
directly to do with the war. For a
time after war was declared the sup.
port of home causes fell off to an
alarming extent. Gradually this con.
dition is ceasing to be. Men and
women are beginning to realize that
babies are a concrete commodity. II
we don't save them our war will have
been in vain. Because, after all, II

ton that will have the benefit of it.
IF WE want real inspiration TO sup
port every baby drive that comes
along We have only to look across the
sea to France and Great Britain.
These Governments are counting
babies with all their might and main.
In England Parliament is writing off
millions of dollars worth of checks
for his Little Everyday HighnesS.
Nothing is too good for him or the
mother who bore him. In France it
is like this too. Save the babies" is
national cry.

thought, has an early start. Let us
see that we help her live up to It.

T1HIS is not a rainy day story. al

Of one thing you may be very certain
" once you see the umbrellas that sug-

one, which you surely will dc, If YOU
do see them, for they are irresistible. you
will find yourself looking hopefully each
day for the suggestion of the dark cloud
which will warrant your carrying your
umbrella If to town you're agoing.
Can you picture in your minds eye
one of dark green silk with handle and
ferrule of white, and with white tipped
ribs? In this display you will find one
which answers this description exactly.
And dark green top on the rounded
handle, together with narrow ring OF
green on the ferrule. and twisted SILK
cord, forms a contrasting touch 10 the
white and carries out the color OF the
silk to nicely.
Another very individual umbrella
which should lend distinction to any SUIT
is the long-handled model OF black SILK
which Is bound with black-and-whte
striped grosgratn about half an men
IN width. The handle with a rounded fiat
ton has two narrow white stripes run
ming around which complement the black
and white design of the binding. and the
result is as uncommon an umbrella as
ever completed a modish costume.
For the woman who must count her
pepnies there are some io"-prlCtu

ANXIOUS.
You seem to be well equipped to start
a millinery business; that is, you have
been able t. satisfy your customers
which is a long way on the road TO
success. There really isn't very much to
tell about starting a home millinery.
First, YOU will have to decide whether
you want TO have display in your front
window. II YOU do make two or three
very pretty hats and then put them in
the window with neat little sign read
ing either Hats made TO order here"
or Mrs ", miiliner" Then there
will be the important thing OF getting
down to a business basis / would buy
all my hat shapes and trimming at a
wholesale milliner's and then set down in
black and white. for my own benefit lust
how much 1t was taking to make each
hat. DO not neglect a single item on
each hat. keeping in mind that the time
you spend in making a hat goes into the
cost OF ii and that your profit Is COM
puted over and above this. ! would be
careful to render bill with each hat
and see TO 1t that II is paid In fair
time. Don't stock up. with more hats
than you can sell. as the styles change
and you will have to sell for less than
they cost, probably, in the end. The big
thing will be TO get customers. Try to
get your friends TO tell their friends to
come TO you and you might try putting
little advertisement In the paper such
as dressmakers' insert :; that is hats
made reasonably, etc. Do not be dis
couraged il your business is not very
good at first. A business cannot be
built In day.
IL you feel you do not know enough
about making hats yoa could take
night course in millinery AZ one Of the
schools such. as Drexel Institute.
