For the College Daughter.

No use preaching patriotism or war
spirit to the college girl!
She doubtless came homo last June
with SO much of that particular brand
Of enthusiasm in her head and such a
serious notion Of her own duty and
the duty Of every one else in the fam
lily regarding their share in winning
the war that IL you are consoled at all
because she Is soon going to return to
her alma mater it will be because
you can forget just a minute your re-
sponsibility about it. Sometimes the
twenty-year-old girl is far more ma
ture than her forty-five-year-oid
mother, and there are a lot OF young
girls who have been made very serl-
Gus by this war. that has taken away
brothers and chums and frances just
when their absence seems to make
most difference.
So you really don't have to urge
your daughter to forgo the ruffles and
furbelows that she might otherwise
expect in her college wardrobe this
winter. She probably has some notion
of wearing a uniform anyway. The
idea appeals to her immensely. Per-
haps it is only through parental pres
sure that she has gone back to col
be to do some sort of work just be-
hind the firing line. She has prac-
ticed sharpshooting, and she feels
sure she could do her bit over there.
But back to her books you have per-
suaded her to go. and she will will
ingly go, as she perhaps needs must
go, with lighter trunk than ever
before.
Now. in choosing her new apparel
don't forget velveteen. 1t is not cheap
by any means. but frocks are made of
minimum of material this year, and
five or six yards of good quality vel
veteen would make a frock that will
be extremely warm and durable. Vel
veteen is not wool, you know, but it
is very warm 1t is the patriotic fab
rio supreme for the cold-weather
frock this year.
In planning the daughters evening
frocks. remember that houses are
quite likely to be unheated till after
the first of December. No more hot
house temperatures are to prevail this
winter, and SO we can no longer dress
for the tropics even at candle light.
Probably one new elaborate evening
frock will do for the college girl for
the entire understanding for the
big dances. And there will be little
wearing of thin frocks the rest of the
time.
Wooden sweaters are always per-
quisite of the girl at school, but you
must be content with having her old
ones knitted over again this year.
Surely that patriotic girl herself
would object to having new wool used
for her. So if you have not patience
to do this task of renovating get
some nice. obliging great-aunt to do
it for you, or some good person in the
neighborhood who is only too glad to
earn an extra dollar or so that way.
But however fervent you may be
about conserving wool. don't neglect
to send the college girl off with far
heavier clothing this year than pre-
vious years. Even if the winter is
mild it won't seem that way, and one
of the sanest ways of meeting the coal
shortage is to wear clothing that is
sufficiently warm.

Nor was Peter disappointed. Jerry
was just climbing out on the big
Rock and in his mouth was a mussel.
which is what some people call a
fresh water clam. Peter knew bet
Jerry had finished his feast. If Jerry
knew that Peter was there he made
no sign. Very deliberately he opened
the mussel and ate it, dropping the
shells in the water. When he had
finished smacking his lips he looked
over to where Peter sat on the bank.
Good evening. Peter" said he.

Then he chuckled at his own joke,

NEW YORK, September 1o.-Every
once in a while, In the stress OF
times that go against hand workers.
there is revival Of embroidery and
braiding.
In this country 1t is not a loss to so
many thousands of workers when
the fashions swing away from finer
work. but in France the loss Is great
There is a nation of women trained
to do finger work of the finest kind.
There are men who have built up for
tunes as embroiderers and who employ
hundreds of hands who depend upon
this work for a living wage. There
are large houses which are given over
from top to bottom to nothing but
this work Of ornamentation. The de-
signers in embroidery rank high; they
are students Of color and line; they
are readers who dare not let the
books of the past be unknown to
them They study in the Latin quar-
ter or in Montmartre, and they know
art as France knows it. They hold
themselves as persons OF position.
They are pointed out as the designers
for great houses.
The Work in This Country.
There is a reason for this distinc-
tion which they have achieved, for it
is through no small measures that
they arrive at this post of importance
iE the world of artistic apparel. here
in America we are struggling TO get
on our feet and those who are giving
new designs for embroidery are doing
it, not in a slapdash fashion, but In a
serious, studiouS way that Smacks OF
the library and the museum. All en-
couragement to these workers!
Whether or not embroidery Will
have a conspicuous place IN the new
autumn fashions in America, has not
yet been decided, but certain forms OF
characterization. whether done In SILK
floss, braiding or ribbon will undouot-
eddy be in high fashion.
The introduction of the apron as a
means of ornament to a plain frock
has brought back embroidery in a
fascinating fashion. The outline OF
the apron is simulated on the SKIRT
and bodice with colored or metal
threads. This keeps the surface fiat
and is more graceful on certalh
figures than a detached apron front,
which moves about and destroys GER
tain good lines.
