Out.

st. Paul, Minn.-With water only q
few feet away, SO close he could hear
Its trickle, and with leaves he raked
up around him for his only covering,
A. L. Smith, aged forty-three, was 'losl
in the woods" for three days and
nights and lay In a clump of bushei
suffering with paralysis and without
food or water until found by a patrol
q
Smiths story combined the hard
ships Of the man lost In the woods ant
the aimless wanderer In the desert
and all the time within a few blocks
street cars were passing and hundreds
of persons were coming and going, un
conscious that almost In hailing dis
lance a man was struggling desper
ately for his life.
Smith wandered away from a grad
ing camp where he was employed and
lost his way In the woods. He said
he thought 1t a joke at first, until ne
passed nearly all n day trying to fine
a small creek he knew a through
the woods toward the grading camp
He believes he walked in circles until

opening from the woods.

Suddenly one of the planes dipped out

The vessel captain ordered all speed
ahead in their direction. Meanwhile
the pilot and observer had donned

GOLD STAR
ABANDON CREPE?

This manner of dressing is aided and
abetted by our government, which
hopes that women will not discard the
clothes they have in order to buy cost
ly and sometimes large wardrobes of
crepe and other mourning habiliments.
1t feels that the whole nation grieves
for itself and for others; that each
woman's woe is echoed in another
woman's heart; that anxiety is univer-
sal. Therefore, it Is not necessary for
a woman who has lost a man in battle
to go to the extreme length Of draping
herself in crepe, so that her face is
invisible and her body weighted down
with heavy and unusual fabrics.
This is sane and sound reasoning on
the part of the government, and every
woman should adopt it in a spirit of
patriotism and an earnest desire to
make the best of the situation.
Fabrics Good for Mourning.
If crepe is to be abandoned by the
majority, what is to be taken up? Here
is a list compiled by the women who
want to be consistent and by the shops
who cater to them:
Crepe de chine is an admirable fab
ric, it has been found. Black chiffon,
without a CLINT or sparkle in its sur
face, is another summer material that

But the sparrow would not leave him.
The bird insisted on pechng on his shoulder and even wanted TO
travel down to the Office that way.
In order to escape from him the man had to suddenly dart from the room
and close the door with speed.
The last I heard of the sparrow he was sitting out in a tree waiting for
his master to come home.

Inns. black and white checked woolens,
and dead-white fabrics, touched with

Band and Star on the Arm.
There is no definite way to make
these mourning clothes. They follow
the usual fashions, but they should not
be conspicuous. This emphasis is not
observed by certain segments of So
ciety, whose clothes must be exagger-
ated to be in keeping with their per-
%sonalities; but one speaks of the mass.
So far, these clothes are for those
who will wear black, but America must
be prepared for the wearing of colors
by those who have lost their men.
This must be brought about by ma
tional feeling and by the exigencies of
the labor situation. Women who are
busy, women who have small salaries,
women who are dependent upon the
Red Cross for their support while their
men are In battle, will not change their
clothes when they receive the fatal
message from the war department.
Dark-blue serge, black taffeta frocks,
gray gowns, checked suits and white
shirtwaists will be worn. The Ameri-
can woman will adopt the British wOm-
ans bravery and put a black band on
the arm Of whatever coa or frock she
possesses.
There is now a strong propaganda
for the gold star In memory of those
who "go West" 1t has been taken up
by institutions, churches, banks and by
many women 1t is in keeping with
that departure of the newspapers in
which they announce casualties under
the caption of a roll of honor.

A boat was lowered from the steam

less than five thousand is too small to
make any physical impression. The
mental impression grows, however, and
women speak of mourning who have
heretofore not thought of 1t.
1t is a situation to which we must
look forward. There is no gentle way
of waging war, as was said by the
chief of staff. Men must die that ma
lions may live, and women must lose
those men.
We face the truth quite calmly these
days, because, as a nation, we usually
grapple with the inevitable with the
belief OF youth and the patience of
age. Women are supposed to be a
gentle race, nurtured by chivalrous
men, and u nation is supposed to be
one of peace, serenity and calm.
VIII We Wear M%ourning2
1t is a strange thing that today we
link this thinking and talking about
immortality with an intense desire to
laugh, to be amused, to do our best
for those who are going and coming,
and to lead u lives as though war
had not smashed a shell across It's
routine.
With this spirit the idea of deep
mourning is not consistent. The world
has gone through several rapid phases
on the subject of wearing crepe during
the last two years. France has been
the nation that thought it most decent
to wear the deepest habiliments of woe
out of respect to the dead and comfort
to ones own feelings but even France
has considerably lightened her mourn
ing no that her women often do not
wear crepe or even a Widows bonnet,
Already the long crepe veil has prac.
dcally disappeared. One sees women
of ultra-conseryative tastes dressed In
black chiffon, with a black silk hat and
a small mourning veil Of coarse-mesh
black net, so open that 1t is merely
a cobweb of silk strings.
This is a widows costume. There
are sisters and mothers who ever omit
the veil and wear simple black clothes
There are other sisters who put the
broad band around the sleeve; and
this has already been done, mind you
and its influence is potent.

she has set the pace in hard and long
