It is difficult > in looking at old

that the lady in the hoopskirt

before going forth to conquer, they

The 12-Hat-POwer Patriot
Mrs. Belmont Knows One, They Are Willing
\ To Talk, But Object To Rationing.
By MRS. GRANNY RYLoN.


Mrs. August Belmont will go
down to history as a one-hat
power patriot. 1t was during the
course of her talk on "Women's
Work in the Second Line Of De-
fense," at the Cosmopolitan Club
in New York, day or two ago,
that she admitted one hat was all
she had, to her head, or her con-
science.
+, Lending a Hand to the Kaiser.
She told of a lady-an ardent
patriot-who had ordered twelve,
for her spring campaign. What
is to be done with the 12-hat-power
patriot? Will anything short Of
Prussians in our streets make her
realize the hand she is lending to
the Kaiser? II she didn't mix in
with war work, the case wouldn't
be so hopeless, but you find her fit

Rnce. -
I9lhng der Long Sults
Or you find her talking to shop
girls, living on 81 a week, urging
them to buy thrift stamps, If they
can't afford War Savings certifi-
Gates. Coifed and curled, figure
of specialized self indulgence, she
urges on others the deprivations
that are unknown to her philoso-
nhy. So fluent has she become, it.
is with difficulty she provides her
self with audiences-hence, the
shop girl on 81 a week, hence, any
one who will listen.
When she begins on the war you
have the same helpless feeling as
when the pipes have burst. You
feel that 1t will require at least a
master plumber to turn her of, but
there Is not one at hand.
Flying Wedge At the Commas.
At last you have an inspiration;
you try to put it through at her
next period. You attempt flying
wedge at her next comma; she has
given up commas. She gasps for
breath and you ask her: Have
You put your family on q war
rationing basis?"
No, she has not, her doctor will
not hear Of it, her cook has threat
ened to give notice 4 she resorts
to this. But she is doing so much
war work, besides-and you have
to hearabout that, too.
They mean so well, but they have
had so little practical experience
of life, that their sole idea of win
ming thewar is by the old, reliable,
church fair Misunderstanding

something you don't want, listen
ing to some one that bores you

Grim Economy Not For Them.
Grim economy, such as the wo-
men Of European countries have
endured for the last two years, is
beyond their ken. Humble war
service, like washing dishes, scrub
bing hospital floors, nursing sick
and homeless children-these thing!
that scores of titled English wo-
men have been doing day in and
day out for years-are as removed
from this type Of patriot as are
the social customs Of the Pategon-
ians.

the process, and send the shop girl
to teach the patriots a little whole
