Church Mice Get Fat.

Even the devout New York mice are
waxing fat on the war. That old say
ing about being "as poor as a church
mouse" is surely passe these days, be-
cause there isn't any such animal in
any of the houses OF worship. They
are all rich, fat and well fed.
The cause is that most Of the
churches are offering free feed" every
Sunday night to the boys in khaki.
And these young men, try to be as
careful as they may, always let few
crumbs fall from the wholesome sand
witches and tasty little cakes with their
rich icing.
That is where the transformation of
the church mouse comes in.
A woman reporter dropped into the
chapel of the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain church the other evening ex-
pecting to attend prayer meeting, but
she got a glimpse of a mouse and from
that moment until she reached the
street she forgot all about religion.
She, however, got a good glimpse Of
the mouse. Never, she declared had
she seen so large, so healthy, so pros
porous n looking mouse in church.
All of which proves that the war has
a silver lining even for the poor church
mouse.

WELL-PAID WOMEN
BUY NEW CLOTHES

New York.-A wounded Amaze had
come to America to lecture. He bore
some honorable scars on his body,
which were symbollzed by stripes on
his arm. A woman touched the stripes
and asked what were his worst wounds.
He described one, which was a clean
hole made by bullet. In his informal
Amaze manner, he asked II she would
like to see 1t. She would. SO would
everyone else at the luncheon. So he
showed her the bullet hole below the
collar bone.
"How very disappointing she ex-
claimed. II expected a great cash."
The Amaze buttoned his collar
thoughtfully, and turning to the table
said: 'Now, ask you, what are we
going to do. with women If they begin
to expect so much of men in this war;"
And what will they do with themf
Men have begun to expect so much of
most vitality interesting thing on this
planet, next to the war, observes dis
tinguished fashion writer.
Women are gaining so much more by
this war than they ever demanded, that
many are puzzled and some are near
hysterical.
Once we were contented race; then
we became an unquiet sex; then we
became a restless force; and then we
became q militant power.
Those with the keenest visions saw
ahead Of them long struggle. They
outlined the propaganda Of self-educa-
ton for women; they lectured to men
and of men concerning what we should
have in the way of industry and COM
mercial opportunity. Whenever men
said that we were not sufficiently edu-
Gated to take over the commercial bur-
dens of the world, we retorted that we
would never be educated If we did not
begin to study.
Women Spend More Money.
OF one thing the prophets are sure
that women, making money, will spend
more. Not having to ask for it, they
will cease to be petulant about 1t.
When woman knows there are three
thousand jobs open to her and that
she can command as good salary as
the man she sent to war, she is not
going to be niggardly about getting
new clothes, enjoying herself and re-
furnishing her house.
Human nature never changes, no
matter what else changes on this plan
ct, and spending will be woman's an
tidote to hard work. If she has been
repressed in the matter Of buying at
tractive things for the house or for
her body, she will go out and gorge her
self on those things when the first free
dom from debt gives her buoyant
feeling of happiness. t.
The business of feminine apparel
should always have been attended ia
w women, not men. This channel of
activity is being directed to its right

through their service in paying posi-
tons, but in war relief work.
1t is the growing demand for eve
ming clothes by women who have here
tofore never INDUCED in them. We
are only following in the footsteps Of
human nature as it has asserted itself
in France and England during the last
eighteen months. Paris has shown an
extraordinary interest In this develop
ment, and the London thinkers and
merchants have found 1T to be an en-
crossing by-product of the war.
Evening dress has always been a
thing for the luxurious. 1t has been
INDUCED in by those whose lives were
more or less given to leisure. Millions
Of women have not considered 1t nec-
essary to change their somber street
clothes into low or half-low, fragile
ones for the evening meal or evening
gayeties. The street suit, with few
changes, has served during the waking
hours. The shlrtwaist and sport skirt
have filed in the rest Of the service
needed.
But this condition no longer exists
in Europe, and 1t has changed in Amer
lea in the twinkling Of an eye. Why?
Women have more money; they have
more opportunities industry, charity,
war relief, hospital service and COM
mittee work have brought women from
the depths of social obscurity into
hourly contact with those who lead
fashions and live leisurely lives.
All Of this has lifted the art Of
dress instead of degrading it. 1t en-.
