Under the stress of war even moth
ers Of nursing babies have had to go
to work in munitiOn plants and other
places in France, and probably the
same thing less true in England, and
even In our own country. 1t Is said
that during the first months of the
war In France babies died ut an alarm
Ing rate. This tended to destroy the
morale of the civil population, which
Is so essential as an inspiration to the
fighting men, and 1t also robbed
France of needed future citizens.
The French government had already
before the war taken steps to conserve
its infants, but did not take up the
matter Of infant welfare extensively
until the war came and the infant
death rate suddenly and rapidly in
creased. To make up for the lack Of
home care, nurseries were established
where scientific treatment could be
given to babies and where the mothers
could 90 at intervals during the day
to nurse their babies, thus eliminating
the risk of artificial feeding. The
babies are cared for day and night,
kept warm and clean, provided with
fresh air and made generally com
Portable. Mothers can nurse them
during the night IL the chlld's welfare
requires 1t. This has worked out to
the advantage Of babies and mothers
in wartime, and will be continued
doubtless. In one community, where
the mayor of town was also doe
tor, the death rate for babies was re-
duced to zero for ten years-there Is
no equally good record anywhere.
1t is natural that the welfare OF
children should be the care of women
everywhere, and every community
ought to make an effort-as com
munity-tO establish place where
mothers who must leave their chill
dren during working hours can bt

The story of the vell-if 1t Is con-
fined TO the fashionable veil-is rather
brief at present, because only small
face wells occupy the attention OF the
big majority of women. OF this par
tlcular kind of veil there are, however,
many varieties which are worth the
attention of women who appreciate
how much a veil can do for the COM
plexion-and the face. Besides, there
are the small, floating wells which are
worn with so much grace ana prove
SO alluring on women who know now
TO "carry them Off" and the Vells Tor
motoring. In addition to these one
must not overlook some pleasing nov
elites that are occasionally seen on
Younger women and girls who like odd
and striking things.
Nearly all the small, close-1ttlng
face wells are made of tine-very hne
threads in large mesh ground with
embroidered floral sprays straying
over them. Or they may be splashed
with widely detached motifs or I'm
ished with dots. All these decorative
touches appear in borders as well as In
patterns that trail over the mesh or
dot it. There are also wells OF heavier
threads and in both the fine and heavy
threads there are small-mesh varieties
1t would be impossible and unnecessary
TO describe all of them. The thing
to remember is that one should eXperi-
ment before buying and try on diiter-
ent wells as we do hats, in order to
select the becoming pattern. Black
and taupe are the most popular colors'
but there are others.
Among wells that have found lavor
there is novelty that combines inc

one veil answers two purposes. In

Il coarse mesh, having border woven
with figures in finer mesh, Is shown,
with plain chiffon veil, in the Illus
tration. An extreme and novel veil
has had a following among young
people. 1t consists of an Oblong of a
large, square-meshed veil bordered
with chiffon and hangs straight from
the front of the turban to the waist
line while longer veil of plain chif-
fon hangs from the back. There is a
border of chenille dots in graduated
sizes set across the lower edge of the
mesh veil. Long scarfs of mallnes at-
tached to small hats and turbans, TO
be wrapped about the face and neck,
were among the alluring things that
came in with late summer and are
pretty enough to survive the passing
of season. They were in any of
the colOrs used for hats and ought mt
