THE HOUSEHOLD
Cultivating the Dim Light.
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsF

Making a virtue of necessity we are
told, is something for which the
American woman has y real knack.
When wool was scarce and cQnsefva-
ton of all sorts of dress goods was
desirable. we made the best of the
situation by assuming that narrow
skirts and narrow bodices and sleeve
less coats and hningless froSks were
quite the best fashion. To be sure.
Paris gave US the hint, but there were
no women anywhere who got the
swing of the new scant fashions SOON
er than did the Americans.
Now we are reminded almost daily
that rext winter will be a. fuel-short
season-worse, perhaps, than last win
ter. We can't exactly make it fash
ionable to have chillblains and influ-
enZa, but we have good reason to be-
lievc that very much bundled-up
clothes will be the fashion when snow
flies again. And as for lights-well,
the best thing we can do is to make
the best of a bad situation and start
in right now making the dim religious
light attractive. If we make, our
lights for the sake of the artistic ef-
feet thus produced, we shall have
done very much better than If we
display one single meager light, with
the manner of feeling very much dis
tressed because that is all the illumi-
nation we are allowed.
Brightly illumine ted, houses are not
going to be in vogue next winter. That
is safe assumption, because we have
found that II is never the least hit
fashionable over here to beunpatriotic
and to conserve lights is going to be d
fine act of patriotism.
Don't make the mistake of thinking
you have best handled the light con-
servation problem by removing all the
shades from your lights and apparent
ly stretching thei to their full ca
pacity When wool was short we didn I
proceed to -tretCh it; we made up our
minds that We liked scant clothes. So

Possibly the first woman who. ap-
peared in a combination made up of
black and white. was considered a
sensationalist. In her day she prob
ably provoked as much criticism as
some of her latter day followers who
have attempted the hitherto unap-
proachable in dress.
1t is one of the most curious things
in the Sstudy of dress to look back
upon the centuries ard see that what
we consider a commonplace today was
once considered a sensationalism. He
who twisted straw into head covering
as protection from the sun and rain,
was followed by crowd of gaping
observers. Today the hatless man on
the street is looked at askance-

History doesn't tell us what effect the
first combination Of black and white
created, but if it did, it would doubt
less add another interesting chapter to
the study of clothes.
We know it was beloved of the
Pompeians. 1t was used by them for
floors, rather than clothes, and men
have adopted it for their fanciful ap-
parel for interior decoration. Women
have used it thru the recent centuries
in various and sometimes uncanny
ways. It is not the combination to
put into the hands of the many, and
yet, to the average woman, it is a sup
posedly fe one.

Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Crawford and
their son, Roy Crawford, jr., returned
the first of the week from a trip thru
the east and into Canada. They were
gone three weeks. One of the most
noticea BILE things of interest, accord
ing to Mrs. Crawford, was the large
number of soldiers who have returned
to this country and Canada to recover
from their wounds. The streets in
New York are full of soldiers, French,
English, Italian, Canadian and Amer
lean, who have come over here either
to recuperate or because they have
lost limbs and are of no more use
over there. There is large hospital
In Toronto where the soldiers are re-
constructed and this is always crowd
ed, and the Toronto women have
given up their elegant homes to be
used as homes for these soldiers.
Mrs. Crawford visited a number of
the canteen committees of the east,
but did not pay especial attention to
those in Canada as they are not under
the Red Cross. THE management of
our Topeka canteen service is Won
derful," said Mrs. Crawford, when 1

tied the canteen workers at Buffalo
Mich, and Chicago, Ill. At all these
places automobiles are furnished in
connection with the work. In Roches-
ter. the canteen work is run on local
subscription and there is no limit to
their means; they even have a sup
ply car which they attach to the train
when the boys can't get off. Here
they have a wonderful kitchen in the
station.
In Chicago the canteen committee
has wonderfully complete hut, with
a hospital room, which will accom-
modate a number of sick Soldiers.
They also have a garage all their own
at the station. But even so, Mrs.
Crawford says the work of our COM
mittee compares very favorably with
any which she saw. In Detroit, they
remarked that some days they accom-
modated 1000 soldiers. In Topeka,
the committee often takes care of
1000 or 5000 who pass thru on
troop trains
