EoyptIan In Effect

The Egyptian is said to be the dom.
inant influence in the new materials
for hangings. Fabrics with this type
of ornamentation have their use in
certain places, but as In the case of
the drap de guerre they require a
clever hand when the pattern is of de-
cided Egyptian origin. Unless guided
by an expert the average woman
would do well to be satisfied with an
odd piece done in these extreme novel
ties. Frequently they are most effec-
tive when employed as bands on a
natural-toned fabric or on two-toned
stripe. Entire hangings or whole sets
covered with these designs are likely
to prove too heavy, and one soon tires
Of them.

French Adopt
American Dead


Care for Graves In Cemeteries.
In an article by Irwin Cobb in the
last Issue Of the Saturday Evening Post
he speaks Of a visit at early morn Of
Decoration Day to cemetery in a
coast town where lay buried many
Americans, and he describes the loving
care with which these graves were
tended day by day and the profusion
of flowers with which they were decked
for our Memorial Day.
French families whose own boys
have died at the front and whose graves
may never be known have asked form
ally that they be granted the privilege
of caring for the graves of some Amer
lean soldier as though it were that of
their own flesh and blood. They have
pledged themselves to care for these
American dead as they lie buried
ir French soil.
And they have further registered
their own names and the graves that
they have adopted so that the children
of the next generation may hold this
as scored charge and carry out the
obligations undertaken by their fami-
lies of today. 1t is legacy. And so
we may rest assured that the graves Of
our American dead who lie in French
soil win ever be lovingly tended and
OF every Memorial Day will be decked
with masses of flowers.
This surely must touch our hearts.
III the French mothers have voluntarily
assumed the care Of our dead and adorn
the graves of our soldiers with flowers
bought with savings from incomes that
are often too small to supply the neces-
stiles Of daily life, shall we not do
something for the living children of
France, - those bereft Of father IS
love and supportf
Can there be any stronger appeal to
as than this which the society for the
relief Of the "EFatherless Children of
France" is now making9 We have a
chance to show our gratitude to those
women Of France who have adopted our
dead, by adopting their living orphans
and with our aid to bring few com
forts into lives that may be cherries
without our relief.
Why not adopt French orphan as
n Christmas offering to yourself9 You
ran do this by telephoning Mrs. George
W. Milne, and by pledging yourself to
pay ten cents a day and thirty-six dol
tars and fifty cents year. Not much
for the joy it will bring you and for
the help it viii take to the French
mothers.

ciple that might makes right, princi-
pie which has demoralized the Ger
