away from home. The servant problem
that began to be acute even before 1919
led us to the habit of entertaining our
friends p dinner in hotels and res
taurants. We gave receptions away
from home and many people even
among those of high social position
pr. -errei to have their daughters
married in the parlors or ballroom OF
some well appointed hotel than in
their own drawing rooms. This ten
pecially noteworthy in Washington
where lots of people in official lifs
hardly ever entered their own drawing
rooms in their fine old-fashioned
mansions. They had perchance a
cozily furnished sitting or living room
and the old rooms built spaciously for
extensive entertainment went with
doors closed and dear knows how
long it was since they had been re-
decorated. In the meantime certain
hotels and caterers establishments
flourished on the tendency away from
homes. Strangely enough among Dip
lomatic folks, at the embassies and
the legations. as much home hospital
| ity as ever was carried on.
Since the war. however. home en-
tertainment has been revived in all
circles. We have less money perhaps
to spend on outside entertainment.
| The servant problem Is as bad as
| ever-worse. in fact. But we have
come to feel that even tho we have
to dispense with servants we once
| thought essential to any sort of en-
| tertaining, even if we have to take a
hand ourselves at the preparation of
our entertainments. there is some
| thing better about entertaining our
| friends at our homes than in public
| There is something very appealing
about the line in the popular song.
Keep the Home Fires Burning" and
perhaps it is in part because we feel
| that our soldier boys at camp or the
| front think of us as gathered about
| our own hearths that we actually do
like to spend as much OF our time
| there as possible.

THE HOUSEHOLD
There's No Place Like
Edited by ANNE RIrTENHoUsE

In the gay days of peace We some
times f., ct that there's no place like
home, but when every days paper
brings home to you the fact that We
and our friends are actually in the
great world fight and when every de-
tai of our living is in some way or
other tinged with the gloom of war.
then we don't have to be reminded,
even. that there really is no place like
home. If We own our homes, even
tho the men of the family have
gone to the front, we somehow cherish
them as never before and refuse really
good offers to sell them, just because
they are SO full of the fine associations
of home that are especially precious
now. But before the war, you know,
We thought if we ever got a good offer
have it now because of the
great demand on the building indus
tries-we never would refuse it and
we would have no regrets and no
qualms about leaving the old abode.
II those pre-war times we were get
ting to neglect our homes. More and
more we were taking our amusements

WASHINGTON, May 23 - Every man of the draft age must work or fight after July 1st under drastic amendment to the seleCtive service re- gulations announced by Provost Gener .l Marshal Crowder this afternoon. Draft registrants engaged in non-use- fll occupations are to be haled before the local boards and given the choice of a new job or the army. Gamblers, race track touts, bucket shop attend ants and fortune tellers head the list which also includes walters, bartend- CTS, theatre ushers and passenger eIe vator operators and store clerks. The idea is to make the women work talk ing the positions of the men in eievat- ors and stores also restaurants.
 General Crowder said that baseball players, jockeys and other professional sportsmen may be affected by the new regulations but he added that he did not desire to make specific ruling at this time. but will when the cases come before him after July 1st.
 "This war is contest of Industries as well as man power" said Cen, Crowder. Mechanics in Germany com pose a large army and are soldiers, every factory loom being recognized as part of the war machinery. We must make ourselves the same sort of effective machlne".
