I THERE was a time in pre-war days
when a window was just a win
dow. Although it has always been
more or less Of a problem 10 the
housewife and a point OF rivalry be-
tween neighbors, TO the ordinary
passer-by the window meant little.
But now it has assumed a more i'm
portant position in society and has an
actual duty to perform.
1t is a card index to the household
There are few windows in these days
which do not tell something Of how
the occupants Of the house are meet
ing the various war problems Of the
day. No matter in what section Of
the city you wander the same story
is pictured, whether in the basement
window Of some modest home or the
upper floors Of a mansion The cards
are varied but they all tell some
phase OF the same story. They have
a message 10 give and Il is given
simply-sO that he who runs may
read Even the passing children
recognize the different cards and
often have contests TO see who can
count the most service flags in a day
or on a certain street
The food administration pledge card
was about the first to gain popularity.
but it was soon Joined by the Red
Cross membership card and the LIB
erty loan card The service flag has
now rivaled them all and IL is pretty
certain that il viii continue to hold
first place. The former cards are
alike everywhere. but when It came 10
service flags-everyOne had a diff
ferent idea as to who should be rep
resented on the flag and in what man
ner- Even now when the flags are
alike in general appearance. some
great windows flaunt them OF satin
with golden braid, while others are
made from cheap muslin or even pa
per But who shall say that the SO
service flag shows greater sacrifice
than the 10 cents emblem
There are some homes which do
not display any OF these cards or
flags, yet carry a message more COM
pelling than any. To the home where
for years food has been conserved
in the name OF necessity where the
mother viii knit for the Red Cross
though her hands are weary from
work. but cannot afford to give
money where the father continues TO
meet the fuel bills and keeps the chill
dren in school. but cannot subscribe

homes as these there IS still one sym
Dol greater than the rest because It
is the sum Of all OF them-the Stars
and Stripes

IT was the night OF the engagement
dinner The dozen people seated
about the Llvingstone's table were
making very merry.
Announcement had been made Of
Dora's engagement TO Milton Van
Saun, and had created just as much
surprise as the pretty young hostess
had hoped She was not confused nor
embarrassed by the congratulations
showered upon her. nor by the toasts
drunk in her honor Nor was the
prospective groom at all self con-
scious as he responded to some Of
these toasts.
Then, when the various members Of
the party began again 10 pay atten-
ton TO one another and to talk Of
something except the astonishing
fact Of betrothal. Gerald Stewart
turned to Cynthia Long, whom he had
brought out 10 dinner.

The answer OF course, was IN her
