serving food and giving voluntary

There is a large field of usefulness
for the woman who wishes to serve
her country, in Americanizing men,
women and children of foreign birth

yields women's relief committees
which are in need of workers Good
volunteer war work can also be ac-
complished by arousing interest in

Civilian relief for families whose
men have gone to war offers large
field for patriotic volunteer service.
Financial aid may bep rovided, posi-
tions may be found for women de-
pendents and practical service may
be rendered mothers who are COM
PEELED to work in the absence of their
husbands. Child welfare is a pri-
mary insurance of the country's well
fare.
The soldiers returning from battle
will shortly offer an extensive field for
relief work Of patriotic American
women. Thousands of crippled men
must be reconstructed and reeducat-
ed. Volunteer lay workers can do
much for the physical comfort of con-
valescents by giving massage, by
helping the lame to walk, the deaf to
hear and the blind to see, by reading,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Make 1ather of good soap, adding
a little soda and ammonia, when
washing eiderdown quilts. Put this
lather in a large bath and soak the
quilt in it for half a nhour. Stir it
about, but do not rub or wiring.
Pour off water and allow cold water
to run over the quilt for some time,
working it up and down in the run
ming water.
Pin it to the clothes line at alter
nate corners to dry, and shake occa-
sionaIly. Finish drying in a warm
room. Give a thorough shaking when
dry.

EMPIRE

Julian Hltinge the well-l1nown pro
fessional woman-imitator, can boast
popularity far greater than might be
expected from the fact that he has
never appeared in any except large
cities and towns. That is, he is a
"big-timer" as they put it in the
theatrical world. When Mr.. Eltinge
made his screen debut recently I'M
der Paramount auspices, it was
thought that the small towns where
Mr.. Eltinge had not appeared might
not be as interested in seeing him on
the screen, but this surmise was found
to be absolutely incorrect as thous-
ands of small cities and villages all
over the country poured in their in
quiries and requests for Mr.. Eltinge's
pictures. THE Clever Mrs. Carfax,"
which is his second Paramount pho
toplay, will be seen at the Empire
theatre today.

LYRIC

Though Dudley Ayres, the popular
leading man of the Poll Players, has
played a great variety of roles since
his debut Into local theatricals, he
has never been called upon to be a
prisoner that is, incarcerated in a
prison cell. But this will be his part
for the attraction next week, when
THE Girl Outside" by Vincent Law
renee will be presented for the first
time in Bridgeport. The play deals
principally with a man who is in
durance vile, and the subsequent
events that lead up to his rehabilita-
ton into q life that is worthy.
The many friends Of Miss Warda
Howard will be interested in knowing
that the part shep ortrays next week,
that Of a daughter of a multimil-
lionaire, necessitates that she wear
numerous gowns of a more than ex-
pensive nature. This is especially
true of a cloak that she must wear in
the third act It was found neces-
sary to go to New York to procure a
wrap that would meet the require
rlents of the playwright.

MARIANNE MARTINEZ.

Marianne Martinez was the daugh-
ter of a gardner in Vienna. One day
the poet Metastasio met her in the
street when she was a very little
child She was singing a popular air
and her voice and vivacity so pleased
the poet that he offered to her parents
to educate her. They accepted his
proposal and he kept his promise.
Nothing was neglected to make the
young girl an artist. She had the
good fortune to receive music lessons
from Haydn. Other celebrated art
lists taught her singing and compost
ton. Metastasio bequeathed her all
his property. In 1895 she lived in
Vienna in af1uence and gave weekly
concerts which were renowned as
gatherings of the celebrities of the
day. She composed many master
pieces of music before she died, early
in the nineteenth century.

Never before was the scope Of vo-
cational opportunity for women so
wide, nor the chances for even I'M
trained women to earn money so
many and varied. The advice of au-
thorities on women in industry how
ever, is to the effect that adequate
training is essential for efficiency to-
day, and the war has brought into ex-
istence many sources of instruction
for women DESTROYS of training for
industry.
The type of woman her mentel and
physical ability, will determine largely
her wage earning power. For the
woman of fair education the various
lines of clerical work offer fruitful
field The United States Civil Service
possibly presents the most favorable
opportunity. for this class as the SER
vice of female clerks for the govern
ment is in demand. There is need in
most of the large cities for intelligent
women to fill clerical positions taking
the place of men who have gone to
war.
Banks are opening their doors to
OSAAA
mercial houses require women in their
filing divisions, for statistical work,
the operation of tabulating machines,
secretarial work, etc. The railroad
offices throCg hout thee ountry employ
women as ticket agents, freight clerks
and in other clerical positions for
merly filled by men. In many cities
the demand for telephone operators
is larger than the supply.
For the woman in the country the
farm offers an opportunity for SER
vice.. Women in New York and New
Jersey last summer demonstrated
their ability to perform mutually
profitable work in the market gardens,
orchards and even in the grain fields.
At the beginning of the season the
farmers treated with scepticism
feminine offers of service; but before
its close the women had become a
valuable agricultural asset in the
farming sections of those states.
For the city woman whose physical
ability is her chief recourse in bread
winning, the factories offer many po-
sitions, although again it is the train
ed woman who is in demand in tex
tile and munitions factories and other
centers of labor. Many of the rail-
roads throughout the country are
employing women in the freight yards
for the ligther forms of labor, and
they are in demand as car cleaners, in
which latter service they have proven
themselves highly Satisfactory. The
policewoman is also appearing while
occasionally a woman is to be seen
driving a delivery wagon.
Statistics from the city of Detroit
show that within recent months the
increase in woman service employed
in factories and workshops is almost
three times greater than that of
men.

ITEMS OF INTEREST

The tea caddy has come into its
own again. There is quite a craze
for it among the collectors, as well
as a demand fog it on all the tea
tables in the land. For something
over hundred years it has been rele-
gated to the china cabinet or the
silvez' table as an obsolete curio, but
in this year, of war it has once more
become the receptacle, as it was in
the time of our great-great grand
mothers, of the precious leaves, to be
jealousy guarded and sparingly used.
Old caddy spoons are rarer even than
the antique caddies now, and the
happy possessors of them are using
them with pride. Thus after years of
obscurity the tea caddy energies once
more as one of the most useful and
up to date of wedding gifts and is
pretty sure of a place on our side
boards and tea tables until long after
the piping tines have returned.
A very charming Chippendale bed
room in one of Ehgland's great houses
has the four-posted bedstead with the
Chinese Chippendale chintz draperies.
It is thanked on one side by a tallboy,
the top decorated with broken pedi-
ment. At the foot of the bedstead is
what was then called a dressing table,
but which is really just small table
with six drawers, three above the 9TH
er three.
There are two upholstered chairs
wing chair and leather chair, for
you will remember that it was about
this time that the upholstered chair
came into being, one slatback straight
chair and one spindle back.
Above a serpentine front chest of
drawers there is a large mirror show
ing a classical influence. There is a
little shaving stand on one corner, and
over near a window stands large tot
let mirror. Needless to say, the room
is charming.
