On the occasion of the Ameri-
can Memorial Day the American
minister together with other AL
lied diplomats and a large num-
ber Of American, Norwegian-Am-
orleans and Norwegians assem-
bled in the Frogner Park, Chris
tiania, round the bust of Abra-
ham Lincoln presented to the
city by Norwegian-Americans in
1914. DR.. Onsum, prominent
Christiania physician who was
for years in this country. paid
a warm tribute to the memory
of Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson.
DR.. Onsum after, his speech
placed a large wreath on the
bust bearing the quotation from
the Gettysburg address that
these honored dead shall not
have died in vain" The foreign
editor of the Norwegian Dag
bladet writes, under date of
June 1: The world is in danger
because the things it greatly val
ues are threatened; because it's
culture is being trampled on; be-
cause soon nothing will be left
but German and ruins. People
are asking each other whether
Europe shall lie under the heels
of militarism, whether all her
genius shall be strangled in the
grip Of this tormentor; whether
arms and hunger are to remain
the lot of Europe for eternity.
One seems to be reading the YER
ses Of the Apocalypse"

The former Danish ocean liner,
&C. F. Tietgen", aboard which so
many Scandinavians have trav-
eled, has been sunk by German
submarine boat. ''Tietgen'
which measured 8,173 tons gross,
was built in Belfast 1897, and
when "Frederik VIII" was con-
structed, she was sold to a Rus
sian company which renamed her
''Dvinsk" The old popular stea-
mer was sunk 700 miles off the
Delaware Capes last week. Re-
Gently the boat was chartered by
the British admiralty.
On May 80 an important debate
on foreign policy took place in
the Swedish Riksdag, and night
sittings had to be resorted to.
The opposition attacked the gov
ernment for its policy of non-in-
tervention in Finland, but men,
bers of the cabinet explained
that the foreign office had acted
in good faith following diploma
tic usage and international cour-
tesy. Their confidence had been
betrayed, they said, and the cabi-
net had at the proper time pro-
tested strongly at Berlin against
German abuse of such confidence.
The result of the debate in both
chambers was decided victory
| for the government. Represen-
tatives of the British seamen who
had arrived at Gothenburg to ne
gotiate concerning the organiza-
| tion of an international league,
were ordered out Of Swedish ter
ritory Immediately upon their ar
rival last week. They went to
Copenhagen where they were
permitted to hold their confer
ence.
| The Copenhagen Nationaltiden-
de Of June S editorially points
out that the neutral Scandinavia
an press has rendered the Allies
much greater services than are
generally appreciated, and it says
| that if the Entente powers had
given more consideration to the
Scandinavian cause, they would
not have to make special efforts
to win back lost trade after the
war. The paper also calls atten-
| tion to the fact that if the Allies
had adopted a more friendly at
titude toward the northern coun-
tries, the Scandinavians would
not have been so seriously ex-
posed to privations and suffer
ings of many kinds. Last week
1.-THE premiers and foreign mini
sters of the three Scandinavian
countries met at Copenhagen for
a three-day conference where the
joint policy Of the countries was

THE HOUSEHOLD
edited by ANNE RIrTENHoUsE
Eats for Your Soldier.

Normal young men like honey
meals and home-co9ked food" says a
member of the staff of the commits
sion on training camp activities who
has good chance to know just what
the men in khaki really do like.
There is something radically wrong
with the brand of hospitality if there
is any jam left in the jar at the end
of the meal.
Find out the things. your soldieS
guest is fondest Of at home,'' says
this friend of the soldiers. There is
not much opportunity for considera-
ton of the individual in camp, and
the thought will be as pleasing as will
the home-cooked food after the chow
in camp"
So if you are lucky enough to have
the opportunity to have soldier guests
at your board for dinner once in a
while-and if you live near one of the
camps you no doubt have this privi-
lege frequently-remem that there
is nothing that will please better than
home cooking. Remember, too, that
the young men you invite are doing
outdoor work, that they are in fine
physical trim and that they are hun
cry. Don't plan the menu as you
would for a society woman's lunch
con. The chances are, moreover, that
your soldier would rather have few
simple, hearty courses than six or
seven dainty, light courses. Young
men who are doing active work in the
outdoors usually do feel this way
about it, and the many-coursed, small
coursed dinner was invented, you
know, to egg on the jaded appetite of
folk who had not enough outdoor ex-
ercise to keep their appetites in q
normal state, or for folk whose many
social obligations made it necessary
for them to take more refreshment
during the course of the day than
could leave them with a mouth water
ing for dinner.
If you know your soldier, ask him
outright what he likes best to eat.
But having discovered some,s favorite
dish don't make the mistake OF feed
ing it to him till he is tired of it. Get
something new each time.
But whatever else you do, don't let
your soldier know you are too inter-
ested in his appetite. Don't watch him
eat as you would watch hungry
young puppy gnaw a juicy bone, and
must be hungry, and that it gives you
pleasure to see him eat. Probably he
doesn't want to be reminded of the
fact that he is eating more than any
one else at the table. And anyway
he has not accepted your dinner 1nVi-
tation merely for the feed" And II
is as much piece of bad breeding
on the part of the hostess to direct
attention to the dishes on her board
or the appetites of her guest when
soldier is dining with her as it is any
other time

China is especially prolific in fab
rio. We have not become accus-
toned to what is best in that coun-
try, and we have often worn what only
it the best weaves of Chinese silks.
In recent years there has been more
education on this subject. especially
since our army women have bought
so 1avishly in China and brought its
products to this country. They have
stirred envy when telling the prices of
these exquisite weaves, and they stir
something akin to envy, which is
strong irritation, when they inform us
OF the low prices Of excellent Chinese
dressmakers, who copy a sketch in a
dt- taking the measure in the morn
ing and sending the gown home that
night. Contrast this method with the
five fittings during five weeks which
are often demanded by shops where
one pays two hundred and fifty dol
lars for single frock.
Hot Weather Gowns of Chinese Weave
One lesson has been thoroly taught
us during this summer concerning the
comfort of certain materials, and wo-
men have not dressed according to
tradition in warm suits, but according
to common sense and economy.
Therefore, the finer grades Of Chi
nese silks came into prominence
Bingham, calico and dimity are de-
ngnl1ully cool: no one gafnSayS that
fact; but they are expensive, for they
soil quickly and need the constant eff
forts of a personal maid or a 1aundress
to keep them fresh. Therefore, they
are abandoned by the great mass of
workers, and in their place come
Shantung. Rajah, fou1ard, Chinese
crepe and various other Celestial silks
whose names are unknown.
The American mills have copied
these Chinese silks with admiral BILE
result, and there ares excellent crepes
to be bought over our own counters
which give one satisfaction. In white.
in tan and in various other colors,
these fabrics have been built into the
simplest form of frocks and suits for
women who cannot spend much time
in changing the costume several times
during hot day.
The Chemise Frock Prevails.
Unless one has a suit made of this
Chinese silk. the more comfortable
form of a chemise frock is adopted
There is an undercurrent of feeling
against the straight chemise frock. al.
tho # has not reached ali strata of
women. Undoubtedly it has had its
day, but it will last for the summer
Its comfort is undeniable.
The sketch shows one that 1t worn
in the country. 1t is of the heaviest
white Chinese silk fastened down the
front with a row of white crochet
buttons. Character is given to the
long, straight line from shoulder to
hem by the addition of a white suede
belt.

New York.-It was a rather nice
idea to go across the Pacific instead of
the Atlantic for our dress materials,
when Europe was threatened with
shortage. 1t is said that there never
has been such a prolific importation
of Chinese and japanese fabrics as
during this war. There seems to be
plenty of material over there for all
of us. Large department stores have
sent buyers to the Orient to pick up
whatever could be found in the way
of dress fabrics. and there are whole
sections of shops in this country that
are given over to the sale of Chinese
