Need OF Cheerfulness.

Why cultivate the spirit Of gloom ?
Whom does it profit? What is gained
by the cultivator? We grieve over the
boys that stand for us on the bloody
field of battle, and shed tears over those
who will not come back. That we can
not help and need nor try. But while
thus grieving let us be thankful that we
have such sons. They will live in
memory and in history, and unborn mil
lions who enjoy the boon Of freedom
will rise up and call them blessed.
Are you writing letters to the boys
over there? Then delete the gloom,
write cheerful letters. Don't worry
them over such things as neither you
nor they can help. II you want to win
the war you may help and help largely
by being cheerful. We will have sor-
rows, but they will not be assuaged BY
brooding over them. The storm will
be no fercer from one being resigned
to it. The road we are travelling is
uneven and rocky but il is the only
way to the goal and over it we must
journey. Cheerfulness gives life, light
and strength, the opposite makes dark
ness and weakness.
One Of the traits Of the American
soldiers in France, a trait that has
attracted the attention Of our allies and
often been commented upon, is that
OF cheerfulness. They sing on the
march and in battle even. Wounded
Americans indulge in jokes with the
surgeons and the nurses. II these may
be cheerful under the conditions sur
rounding them, why cannot We at home
follow their example?

To Round Up Idlers.

Vigorous enforcement Of the State
vagrancy law, compelling all bodied
male citizens between sixteen and sixty
years of age to engage in lawful and
useful occupation or employment, was
assured when the State Council of
Defense adopted a resolution through
which the Council will secure the names
Of slackers who do not comply with
this act.
Employers of labor twenty men or
more) are required by the order of the
State Council TO report weekly the
names and addresses of the labor slack
ers.
The adoption of the resolution was
prompted by numerous complaints filed
with the State Council of Defense,
reciting that numerous employees are
idle in essential industries and are not
giving their full support to the $4,000
West Virginia soldiers in the military
service.

An Army That Marched In Its Sleep.

An American physician, DR.. George
W. Grille, in a recently published book
throws a remarkable side light on the
famous retreat Of the British and the
French from Mons TO the Marne. In
nine days and nights they marched one
hundred and eighty miles, often actual
ly asleep, and every now and then fight
ing desperate rear-guard actions against
overwhelming hordes Of Germans.
Rarely were the halts long enough for
the men to snatch few moments OF
rest. Food and water were scarce, and
irregularly supplied.
One of the most remarkable things
about that retreat was the sleep pheno-
mena that the soldiers experienced. 1t
is known that animals subjected to
the most favorable conditions, kept from
exertion, supplied with plenty Of food,
and in good hygienic surroundings, do
not survive longer than from FIVE to
eight days without sleep. In the retreat
from Mons to the Marne we have an
extraordinary human experiment, in
which several hundred thousand men
obtained almost no sleep during nine
days, and, in addition, made long, forced
marches and fought one of the greatest
battles in history.
How did those men survive nine days
apparently without opportunity to sleep?
They did an extraordinary thing they
slept while they marched. Sheer
fatigue slowed down their pace to a
rate that permitted them to sleep while
walking.
The UNMARRIED testimony of the SOL
diers was that everyone at times slept
on the march. They passed through
villages asleep. When sleep deepened
and they began to reel they were waken-
ed by their comrades. No man was
safe who fell out of the ranks, for
sleep conquered him-and asleep many
were pactured. That the artillerymen
slept on horseback was proved by the
fact that every man lost his cap.
The complete exhaustion of the men
is vividly told by DR.. Gros of the
American Ambulance, who, with others
went to the battlefield of the Marne to
collect the wounded. When the am
balances arrived at Meaux at midnight
they found the town in utter darkness.
At last they succeeded in awakening
the mayor.
Can you tell in what village we
shall find the wounded ?" they asked.
"My town is full Of wounded. | will
"My town is full of wounded. Twill
show you," the mayor replied.
They threaded their waythrough dark
streets to dilapidated school building.
Not a sound There was the stiffness
of death. They raped louder; there
was no response.
Pushing open the door, they found
the building packed with wounded
more than five hundred. Some were
dying; everyone was in deep sleep!
Not a groan, not motion, not COM
plaint--only sleep!
Surgical aid, the prospect Of being
taken to good hospital, the thought
of food and drink, of being removed
from the range of the enemy's guns,
awakened no interest. They slept on
while their wounds were being dressed.
After deep sleep for two or three
days, during which thsy wanted neither
food nor drink, they began to be con-
scious of their surroundings; they asked
questions, they experienced pain, they
had discomforts and wants-they had
returned from the abysmal oblivion of
sleep.

LEGH0RN HAT IS A FAV0RITE
Some Of This Seasons Styles Are En-
broldered Directly Upon the Hat
Other Decorations.

Exquisitely simple was a leghorn
hat Of the ever-pleasing picture
shape, with a fiat crown and droop-
Ing brim. A wide blue ribbon Of sill
yer luster and velvety softness was
drawn around the high crown, COW
ering 1t at one side and crushed at
the other end in a loose bow with
scarf ends which hung over the bTim.
Tucked In about the lower edge Of
the ribbon were roses, alternating with
tiny clusters Of grapes. A very mar
row binding Of the blue edged the
brim.
Upon another large leghorn was laid
TO all appearances, an entire hat Of
lavender georgette crepe. The crow
was soft; the brim, stiffened with tiny
wires, reached almost to the edge Of
the leghorn brim and was fastened Sc
curely to It About the crown were
more soft folds Of the crepe. In front
was a large cluster Of lilacs. reddish
Persian blooms and purple blossoms,
opened to disclose their blush petals
In the heart Of the cluster were two
blue roses.
Some Of this seasons leghorns are
embroidered directly upon the hat. In
stead Of having flower wreaths or clus-
tiers appliqued as embroideries, too,
In solid diamonds, squares or scallops
In conventional patterns all around the
edge. One hat had a pattern Of GRIM
son triangles about the brim. A clus-
ter Of peoples in the same shade was
embroidered close up to the crown, but
lay fat on the brim.

ABOUT our SHOES
Buttoned Footgear Uses More
Leather Than the Laced.
spsts Likely TO Be Strongly In Favor
AGAIN ~ Well a. Knitted
WooIen stoekinaa

Every woman with her eyes open
must have noticed that button shoes
are little worn, and no doubt the fact
that lace shoes are, as a general thing,
neater and trimmer and more easily
kept In condition has a good deal to
do with this, declares a fashion writer.
The fact that button shoes use up quite
q little bit more leather than lace
shoes is the big reason behind their
disappearance from fashion, say those
who know. 1t does seem a very little
leather to save, doesn't It? But then
this is the day when we appreciate the
importance Of very small things; the
saving Of q slice Of bread a day, q
lump Of sugar or q half pound Of meat
-trifies that we are assured amount
to enormous proportions In the aggre-
gate.
From the point Of view Of good sense
pure and simple, we might wish that
shoes for autumn were not going to be
SO thInly soled. Thicker soles are
warmer and dryer and do not need re-
pairing so often, but the government
has decreed that for civilians no soles
shall be OF more than very moderate
thickness, the exact thickness being
set down by the rules In definite terms.
Since the height Of shoes Is to be
limited to eight and a half or nine
inches, there Is every reason to believe
that low shoes will be worn to a very
great extent, even in cool weather. We
are not in love with low high shoe,
though we find the Oxford entirely
satisfactory; and, Of course, II the
nIne-inch shoe Is q conservation and
patriotic shoe, the low shoe is even
more so. To prevent the low shoe
from being the cause Of colds and
chIlls, women will wear spats again as
fondly as they did two seasons ago, or
perhaps they will take to heavier
stockings. Some women, you know.
wore knitted wooden stockings last
winter with low shoes, and found the
combination warmer than high shoes
and the usual thin stockings.

| don Of them into active service for TIE
country have caused the scales b IAN
from the eyes Of thousands OF women
~ to the expense Of the costumery
they adopted.
We expect six more weeks Of warm
weather, and therefore, we have no
absorbing interest In new October
clothes. We want to know what is to
be worn, and we are most interested
in what we hear h being shown In
Paris, but ut this moment we are strug-
Cling with the proposition Of enliven-
ing our wardrobe In such q manner
that 1t win keep rs going until the
first frost.
As the nation has gotten into the
habit Of living In the country until
Thanksgiving. there Ia a growing ten
dency to keep ones August clothes In
active service by means of top coats
and wooden stockings II must be adj
mitted that the present emergency
calls women into town nearly every
day, and they may not continue TO stay
In the country as long as November,
but the majority win insist on wearing
their summer costumery as long as the
climate and convention permit.
And right here comes In the excellent
good taste OF the present midsummer
costumes. Their very departure from
the sweater and the separate white
skirt permits them to serve at other
seasons.
This Is the stringent motto that must
run the warp and wool of our lives
now: to buy that which can be worn
on es many days, at as many occa-
sions as economy dictates. In short,
we have accepted the European way Of
dressing for hot weather. 1t may not
appear cool on the surface, but inven-
tion, which must 60 hand In hand with
necessity, has shown women how to be
cool and clean In dark costumes, or In
combinations Of dark and light clothes.
Double-Duty Wardrobe.
There are many women who are
able to afford two separate wardrobes;
one for the gayeties of the country and
one for the daily trips to town; but the
average woman, and often she is a
multi-millionaire, has arranged her
wardrobe so that II viii serve for both
purposes from now until the first Of
October.
She has taken up the French idea
OF wearing gowns or suits Of very thin,
checked material, and instead Of an
ornamental blouse, she inserts a waist
coat Of pongee or colored crepe de
chine.
She has found out the good service,
for afternoon wear, Of knife
plated skirts Of white crepe de chine
