KNITTING PUTS ASIDE ALL
 BARRIERS

with all this fuss about the knit ting women"-over their afternoon teacups a group of prominent women were interchanginS views-'I tell you that no one for a moment has gauged the specializing value of it. The speak CT was a well known writer, and her listeners were two equally prominent illustrators.
 we women have always had too prissy an attitude toward one not in our set, or not of equal social or pro fessional standing, would break in rudely to disturb our complaisance. Men can slap a complete stranger on the back in a Pullman smoking com partment and with an offer of cigars a common footing is at once establish ed. That is one of the ways that men get their boasted knowledge of life by an interchange of experiences. But women are too anxious to inquire into ore another's antecedents and creden- tials. Social inhibitions have 1ed them to forget that other women whose sphere lies outside their own may have had chances to learn the mean ing of life which make their own lit tie, well ordered worlds look like dolls kindergartens, and that it is by such contacts that we grow in misun- derstanding."
 You are right" spoke up one o' her friends. "I was in a station tho other day. I had arrived early ant had a long wait before me. sal across from a pretty girl, with such { tired, unhappy look in her eyes. Sh' was trying to set up some knitting

finished with velvet cording.
 Now, when Madame had shown me the sketch she had said: Miss Clem- ents figure is well molded, so her frocks need no elaborate trimmings to conceal the defects of nature"
 And when I had fastened the frock on Marianne-it closes down the back with velvet-covered, bullet but tons, placed very close together-she immediately recognized and appre- ciated the perfect line of the gown.
 Nothing can compare with a sim pie frock of this type. Why, I look more dressed up in it than did in that chiffon evening gown of Mrs. Hollingsworth's that's all fused up with friIls and furbelows. And I didn't think it was going to be a bit smart. Did you ever see a prettier skirt?'
 l took particular note of the skirt. It was neither narrow nor fulI-just right. The fullness about the waist was arranged in such a manner that it didn't even give a suggestion of bunchiness. The deep folds hung in straight, graceful lines to the hem, which was faced with flannel to give it weight so the skirt wouldn't flare about the ankles. The waistline was trifle above nor nal, and the skirt was noticeably longer.
 A girdle embroidered in black silk effectively finished the waistline.
 Just as Marianne was about. to take the gown off Madame joined us. q just wanted to see whether we had made mistake in using this kind | of girdle instead of a sash with long, embroidered ends. Turn around, Marianne, and let me see the effect from the back.
 NO, there is no fault to be found with it. We'll let the frock be just as it is."
 Then Madame rushed away to an- | swer the summons of Julie, who said:
 Mrs. Davidson wants to see you, and she is in a great hurry' Marianne and I carefully packed Miss Clements frock, then went up stairs to have tea with Marcelle and l Shirley.

Marianne lifted her straight brows with quiet surprise when she saw the dinner frock designed for Miss Gle ment.

She had just returned from the front, and it had left it's imprint on her face, and her life. She told me things that I had never dreamed of, authentic, first hand experiences with this war devil.

 1 Knitting is going to do for women what nothing else has ever done-give them a sense of good fellowship. First women talk about the best methods of purling and then they talk life. The knitting women belong to a great i common fellowship of which their work is only the outward sign and badge. And the woman who knits need not fear the other woman in the same occupation, for what they are doing is but a symbol of what, after all, has Teen for centuries woman's great mission-service for others.

AN EXPLANATION.

We have been asked by the chair
man of the local board to make an
explanation regarding the work or
fight order. Many who are now en-
gagged in non-essential work have got
ten the impression that the order
means that they must secure govern
ment work. This is not the case. 1t
only means that all who are engaged
in non-productive work at the pres
ent time make a change and get into
some occupation which the govern
ment has classified as essential
productive class. For instance, if a
young man has left the farm and
accepted a position as clerk in some
store, he is required to return to the
farm. It is the purpose and the duty
0 fthe local board to see that the law
is complied with in this respect, and
they are only doing their duty in the
work Of requiring all to seek pro-
ductive employment.

We are in receipt of a copy of the

by our superintendent. This COM
pilation of facts concerning our
schools shows marked improvement
over former years, also that Prof,
Pierce has worked with energy and
used great care and pains to get out
such report. Friends to the cause
should congratulate themselves on
having such leaders in education as
he and the efficient school board.
