ENGLISH WOMEN SPEND LITTLE
 FOR MEAT

How would you like to go shopping for the family table, Madame, and hold your meat supply down to quar- ter's worth each week? How would you like to take your own sugar in your pocket when you drop in for tea-and no more than a spoonful at that? How would you like to give up your automobile, and your maids, and your flowers, and your bonbons, and your afternoon dances, and your years wardrobe, and your summer in the country and your general good time all around to work and to live, day in and day out. as a factory girl for the sake of your country?
 Perhaps you think you wouNn't t like such program, Madame. Per haps you think the notion ridiculous and fantastic that you should come to such things voluntarily, as matter of choice. But you are wrong. The women of England are doing these things and plenty of others of the same kind, and they do them with a. readi- ness and a quiet acceptation of sacri- flee that has made them the universal rule of daily life.
 You see no spring fancies worn by English women. You see no mourn ing either. But you see uniforms everywhere. You see no pleasure cars or joy rides, but you see women driv- ing trucks and loading sacks of flour. You see no gay parties and no dainty menus, but you see the folk who used to demand them doing the work of la borers and eating the simplest and scantiest fare. You see no idling or show or indulgence, but you see girls in plain khaki and unlovely leather hats-thousands and thousands of them-doing the work of men every where.
 There is no law or compulsion about i the burdens these women have taken on themselves. Simply, they have learned the lesson of the war. Su- gar, meat, fat are fighting potentials. | Wood, coal, gasoline, are fighting power. Every unnecessary article dis pensed with is so much labor and money saved. Every useless trade abolished is so much brain and muscle conserved. Every job taken over means another fighter for the front. And the women are attending to these things themselves by tacit and unan- imous agreement, willingly, devotedly. They know that the war can only be won in the last test by the nation at home. They are the nation at home and they are going to win it by sacri- flee, by sacrifice, and again and ulti- mately-by sacrifice.

GYPs1Es CAME FROM INDIA.

When the gypsies first appeared in England in the 18th century the name gypsy was given to them by the Eng fish people, who believed them to have come from Egypt. The French by a similar mistake called them Bo- hemians.
 But a careful study of this race, and especially of their language, shows that they came originally from India. The gypsy language is derived from the Sanscrit, as are the other Aryan languages of India.
 A similar error was made by the English when they called distinc- lively American bird a turkey, under the impression that it was an impor- tation from the Ottoman Empire, and by the French when they called the same bird coq d'Inde, believing that it came from India

INFORMATION IS
 SOUGHT TO FIND
 SOLDIERS WIDOW

Mrs. Eva Brown Cunningham, the widow of Private John s. Cunning ham, 102nd Infantry, killed in action in France, an account of whose death, with his picture was published in a Bridgeport paper several weeks ago. would have been the first widow of a Bridgeport soldier killed in the present war to receive a compensa- tion payment, had she exercised her rights at the time. Her last known address was in a rooming house at 822 State street where, for several months, she and her husband had been living prior to his leaving for service. Mrs. Cunningham on May 2nd last appeared at the Red Cross headquarters with a telegram advis- ing her of her husbands death. She was promised that as soon as possiale the details concerning her husband S death would be communicated to her Some days later, Mrs. Cunningham again appeared at the Red Cross and agreed to file her application for in surance the day following. This was the last seen or heard from Mrs. Cunningham by the Red Cross, not withstanding the most painstaking
 
 dier was insured for $10,O00, his widow is entitled to paymetn of $57.50 per month for twenty years. The Red Cross are anxious to do their part in putting the widow in possession of her rights. They are now holding for Mrs. Cunningham, the photograph of her husbands grave forwarded from France and many other official com munications addressed to her in care of the Red Cross are awaiting claim by her. One unopened envelope is believed to contain check.
 Mrs. Cunningham is believed to be still a resident of Bridgeport which increases to the Red Cross the puzzle of why she has neither voluntarily appeared or left any trace by which she can be located. If nothing is heard from her in few days the communication meant for her. and now held by the Red Cross, will have to be sent to Washington. Any information which may lead to locat- ing her will be thankfully received.

feeI?"
 Miss Hathaway smiled back:
 "As comfortable as I look"
 A few minutes later Miss Hathaway was quite as enthusiastic about the frock as Madame. and she staIked around the studio, peepzng into the mirrors, which reflected her at vari- ous angles.
 Do you know" she said in con- fiding whisper to Madame, this is the very first black dress I've ever had, and for a long time I've wanted one, but mother has always objected, say ing, If you wear black, what color can wear?'
 But I'm sure mother won't object to my wearing this dress, for it's so girlish, and. besides, the touch of blue ribbon and the white frilling add a bright note to it's otherwise dark background"
 The dress is one of black char mouse, with open panels at the back anI front of the skirt. The bottoms of the panels are finished with six rows Of narrow silk cord.
 Although the blouse is quite simple, the white organdie hemstitched frill- ing at the neck gives the blouse sufi- cient charm to require no additional trimming.
 A wide girdle of its own material Is definitely and effectively broken by the old-blue picot-edge ribbon, which encircles the waistline and ends in a 1 large bow at the back of the dress.
 The sleeve is quite plain, and is fin- ished with the same white organdie Ihemstitched frilling and a small band of narrow, old-blue, picot- edge ribbon tied in a coquettish how at the wrist.
 The old-blue and black combination was indeed pretty setting for Miss Hathaway's fair skin and blue eyes, she made a stunning picture in the outfit.
 ''I know can always. depend on your taste" she said apologetically to Madame, as she was about to leave, 'sbut sometimes I get notions into my head that have to be disproved before I'm willing to accept other ideas Madame smiled with satisfaction and pleasure, adding jokingly:
 Always glad to have your ideas, and to give you ours in exchange---if they're better. Good afternoon, Mis- Hathaway"

When the first congresswoman of America took her seat in the House of Representatives, she was met with an enthusiastic reception from her colleagues and the press and public opinion openly approved her. But very different from this enlightened attitude of the 2oth century was the reception accorded to the first woman who attempted to 80 much as speak before an American legislature.
 It may truly be said, therefore that Margaret Brent was the first aggressive champion of woman's rights and equality before the law in the United States.
 Margaret Brent came to the Mary land colinies in the year 1888 with her sister and two brothers. The Brent family were well connected, the girls were beautiful and they soon became highly popular and prominent in the affairs of the col ony.
 Many suftors laid siege to the heart of Mistress Margaret Brent, but ap- parently she was cold to all of them. She was of a most practical turn of mind and devoted herself almost ex- clusively to pushing the fortunes of the family and enlargtng her own store of knowledge.
 At a time when no well-bred wom- an permitted her thoughts to wander far from the duties that circled around her own flrestde, Margaret Brent militantly pursued the study of the law. She and her sister, more over, took up other lands, founded other manors, and bought and sold property with what was then con- sidered typically masculine ability.
 However, when Margaret Brent was appointed executor of the estate of Gov. Calvert, there was a furore of objection. It was an unheard Of thing. But undaunted, Margaret Brent pushed her claims further. She wanted to be Baltimore's attorney. She even decided that she, as an in telligent property owner, had as good a claim to a vote in the General As- sembly of Maryland as any one elsa. fend her claim with substantial argu ment.
 So, in January, 164S, Mistress Mar. garet Brent rode her horse four miles from her home to Fort St John, where the General Assembly met. The members had been ap- prised of her coming and there was

SARA 'TEASDALE WINS POETRY
 PRIZE
Strephon kissed me in the spring Robin in. the falL But Colin only looked at me
 And never kissed at all.

And never kissed at all.
 Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,
 Robins lost in play,
 But the kiss in Collins eyes
 Haunts me night and day.
 That haunting kiss" It's a new one, more lingering than the soul kiss. '"The look'' more tantalizing than the 1ustre of those laughing eyes.
 But it takes Miss Sara Teasdale to tell it. ''The Look" is but one illustration of her versatile song.
 Miss Teasdale won the highest award offered by Columbia University with her latest book of verse-'Love Songs"-brought out by Macmillan. This prize, $500, was the first award ed in the university's history for a book of poems written by an American citizen. It was the poetry society prize, and was competed for by both men and women poets of renown.
 Sara Teasdale is a singer as well as poet. In the realms of every day life Miss Teasdale is known as Mrs Ernest B. FTlsinger of St. Louis, Mis- souri, in which city she was born, reared and educated. She first at- tracted the attention of the readers of the best American magazines, and of critics, by g. volume she had publish ed in 1907, in which she experimented successfully with the sonnet form. In her 1911 collection and compilations of 1915 and later she displays more versatility and technical mastery, and no less depth of insight and capacity for expressing the best ideals of her time.
 Although one of the younger poets she is well known, and her work has been widely appreciated in England and Canada as well as in this country l Her poems are highly lyrical, and are considered by many critics to be the best examples of this kind of poetry written in America. Her Rivers tc 1 the Sea" made a great impression i Arthur Symons, the English poet and critic, was one of the first to point out the clear and song-like beauty o1 1 her work.

She Learns Just How Charm ing Afternoon Frock Is Made

By GRACE THORNCLIFFE

''The very thing!" exclaimed Miss Hathaway, atfer Madame had pointed out the many advantages of a black afternoon dress. She was at first a bit reluctant to- agree with Madame, advancing the theory that black was so warm looking
 But" Madame explained, ''the dainty frilling offsets the warm look to which you seem to object, and, be- sides, you will find charmeuse is very soft and not nearly so heat-absorbing as satin or other silky fabrics
 When Miss Hathaway slipped the dress on she looked perfectly stun ming in the garment, which set off her

who scoffed at her purpose and were unalterably opposed to her wish listened to her, intent and charmed.
 She spoke with eloquence and vlgor, and her convincing arguments nearly carried the Assembly off its feet, There was no preventing her from talking. though some vainly tried to hamper her with rules and precedents. But she stood forth boldly making her plea and her de- mands.
 So charmed were the planters by her personality and intellectual power that they seemed to be willing to yield to her personal magic. How ever, Gov. Green regained his firm ress and threw the weight of his influence into the opposition so that Margaret Brent's pioneer legislative effort was futile. But her reputation and the force of her example remain ed a permanent inspiration to tho women who followed her.

CHERRIES

Cherries when canned whole should be blanched by dipping into boiling water for 15 seconds, which prevents splitting. For sour cherries, use a syrup made by boiling and straining five pounds and eight ounces of su- gar to one gallon of water. For sweet cherries, use a syrup made of three pounds and nine ounces of su- gar to one gallon of water. Pack in previously boiled jars. Honey or other syrups can be used instead of sugar syrup. Partially seal jars. Boil (process) quart-size jars in water bath for 25 minutes. Seal airtight and when cold test for leaks. Store in cool, dark, dry place.-U. S. De- partment of Agriculture.

 A few crates of locally grown straw berries brought $6.50 a crate or 23c quart to the growers. This price, producers claim, is not likely to de- crease materially and any housewives who desire to can them, should se- cure them at once. The poor setting of the blossom caused by wet weather is the reason for the shortage of the local straberry crop.
