a group of little brothers and sisters, but
they are the usual amenable, grateful tots
that give smiles and soft speech in return

was beyond the control or the influence of
the sad-eyed, silent mother. Every one of
his fourteen years had apparently increased
his willfulness and his spirit.

CLUBWOMEN DANISH
WAR IN CONVERSATION
PhilOmusians Won't Discuss Ger.
mans or Kindred Pessimisms
at Least One Day Weekly

The Phiomusian Club has set an example
which should he followed by every one who
wishes to help in winning the war.
At least one day week it's members come
together, firmly resolved not to mention the
amount of sugar cannot get, nor the
unholy price of Shoes nor how close the
Germans may get to Paris.
They do not talk pessimstically about how
long the will last--in fact for one day
the war is taboo. Every one becomes cheer
full The conversation is turned to the pleas
ant and unmportant subjects Of peaceful
times Frequently various forms of enter
tanment are devised.
Taken all in all. that one day when the
war and its attendant army of glooms
forgotten does quite as much toward hasten
ing the victorious outcome as any of the
other days of the week, when the women
work from dawn till eve at every conceivable
kind of work.
Naturally, during the week. when the
women get tired and blue a slight pessmsm
creeps in. II is just when the minds of the
people are in this state that the most fruit
full seeds of Germansm are sown and take
root. great many people are still a bit
incredulous of the idea that German propa-
ganda is continually in the air like cloud
of poisonous microbes.
