1T sounds incredible, but the Woman
Who Doesn't Believe in War Work
or in War Saving still exists! She
does not knit, because she says knitting
machines can do all that is needed for
war purposes, and besides it makes her
nervous; she does not roll bandages at
Red Cross workroom because it is too
hot Cor too cold), and anyway, there are
a lot of women who have nothing else to
DO; and she hasn't conserved wheat, or
meat, or sugar, because, she says, it was
silly of the government not to issue food
cards, if it wanted people to save, and
she wasn't going to deny herself when
Germans and pro-Germans didn't; be-
sides, wheat substitutes are lot too
high, and people need sugar and meat
and white bread to make them healthy.
She doesn't want to hear about the
starving Belgians and the undernour-
ished French and English, and she feels
no qualms of conscience that packages
and packages of rice and corn flour and
oatmeal that she had to purchase in
order to obtain wheat flour are piled up

tom," so to speak, and make the sacrifices
that really hurt. The SNUG, self-right
eous feeling that came from the know-
edge that we had denied ourselves our
greatest luXuries went very long way
toward reconciling us to the inconveni-
ence involved. When we met Mrs.
Thompkins in the Fifth Avenue bus. and
she expressed her surprise at seeing us
in public conveyance, it took no cour
age on our part to explain that we had
put the motor car into dead storage for
the duration of the war so that the mon
ey saved might be converted into Liberty
bonds. Ten to one Mrs. Thompkins had
done the selfsame thing herself for the
selfsame purpose
And yet we must not belittle the i'm
portance of these "fashy sacrifices" for
1T was by means of them that a great
part of the first, second and third Lib
erty loans were subscribed. They have
become so universal, however, so Clash
ionable," if one may use that term, that
they are really sacrifices no longer. In
fact, it is the people who have not given
up their pet luXuries who are feeling
uncomfortable and "out of the picture" I"

Possibly the reformers subconsciously
felt that the men would eat their lunches
in ten minutes even if they were given
two hours to do it in, and smoke the re.
mainder of the time, but even at that the
poor toothless stomach called on to do
extra work needs extra time for diges-
tion.
Why these special human" privileges

N INCE life in all its phases is being
feathers, entertaining in war times
has become vital problem, especially to
the woman without a servant In addi-
tion to the actual labor of preparing and
serving company meals, there is the
urgent necessity for economizing in time
and strength, as we'll as food, since all
of these are needed in the war we are
Waging. Balanced against the difficulty
Of entertaining there is the need, felt
more keenly than ever, perhaps, for the
comforting and intimate companionship
of friends. The woman who can strike
the informal note in entertaining, or she
who plans her work so carefully that one
task dovetails into another without vast
ed effort, can entertain, even in these diff
ficult times, without too great an ex-
penditure Of money or effort.
The first important step IN this direc-
tlon is to break away from conventions.
Take that little dinner you have been
planning for three or four friends, for
example; that same little dinner YOU
have been postponing until the weather
was cooler, or the curtains done over.
or any other excuse that would camou-
Hage the real reason, which is a nat
eral and justifiable shrinking before
the thought of soup, entree, roast, salad
and dessert, not to mention chaotic jump
lngs up and sittings down, followed by
an aftermath Of dishes and pots and
pans--and headache!

twice as long. 1t occurred to no one at
all in this sweeping investigation to sug-
gest that the men should have an hour,
too. Are there any data to show that
the male of the species needs less time to
digest his food than the female? Do their
digestive juices flow any faster? Statis-
tics might be collected from the women
as to whether they would rather have in
digestion themselves or live with a man
who has it. We believe the figures would
be generally in favor of bearing the
physical rather than the l:.sntal anguish
involved in this dilemma.

where, and eaten everywhere, in the hum
blest abodes as well as in the houses of
the rich; it is not delicacy reserved to
the favored of fortune; there is no more
black, coarse bread, no bread of the poor.
Those who enjoy it and rejoice over it
will not have to think that some near
them viii have to foregc the pleasure,
and many households which had never
known the SAVIOR of white bread have
now the JOY, in war times, to cut full
slices of it.
But the joy that its appearance has
brought is not only the satisfaction of
the appetite; it has a higher and more
farreaching meaning. This white bread
really savors of deliverance, of hope, of
confidence in a near, better future For
US who have from the beginning of the
war put our wishes and sympathies
on the side of right and Justice, it is
like the forerunner, the messenger of
the certain triumph Of this cause so dear
to US; it savors, SO to say, of the glorious,
recent Marine victory; it holds all it's
promises and all it's hopes because it rep
resents this wide, efficacious, generous
American aid, guarantee of a coming vic
tory, and also a guarantee, to small ma
tions like ours, of their right to pros
perity and life.

War Hospitality
Needs No Apology

1t is hard for the fond mother to look
with complacency on her children clad
IN frocks Of cotton crepe (Which require
no ironing) in place of the dainty lace
trimmed garments which was their raj
ment in times of peace. There are in
Vulnerable sacrifices like this which hurt
the pride Of the mistress Of the house

1t isn't pleasans Cor woman who has
taken great pride in her perfect cable
fittings to set her dinner table with
doilies instead Of t:ss elaborate, hand
embroidered dinner cloth and mono
grammed napkins which she was accus-
toned TO use in the days when she mad
her own laundress.
The cutting off of all but the simplest
kind of entertaining is another ADJUST
ment that is often very difficult to make.
There are Herbert Merrill and his wife,
who are wont 10 make an annual visit to
New York. You and John have been in
the habit Of taking them out on one

is no reason why these primeval condi-
tlons in industry should continue to the
end Of time. We maintain that the
health of men is quite as essential to the
health of the race as that Of women. A
double standard is bad thing anywhere
you meet it.
Women's rights. Mems rights! WHY
not move on to human rights? And we
recommend to the Wisconsin Industrial
Commission the honorable compromise of
making the Luncheon period s'ortv-five

By ELENE FOSTER

\ TOST of us have made our big war
wi sacrifices. We have given up
many of the things that seemed
indispensable to our happiness: our
motor car, perhaps; our season ticket to
the opera, the new fur coat, the Persian
rug, or our annual pilgrimage to Palm
Beach or Santa Barbara. We sacrificed
these things gladly without murmur
in order that we might invest the money
thus saved in the first, second and third
issue of Liberty bonds And now along
comes the fourth issue, calling to us
from every billboard to "Lend the Way
They Fight" and that means more sac
rihces and still more sacrifices as long
as one regiment of our soldiers remains
in the trenches.

like an unexpected happiness an un-

believe it. No one knew, no one could
guess. And now, reality surpasses the
most optimistic provisions: the bread is
white, crisp, light as cake, so beautiful
and clear that it makes US forget the
bread card that must limit its consump-
ton, and so shining that it looks like
holiday bread.
