today. l am in poor shape and then

and couldn't eat any. Several of
the boys threw it in the garbage can.
am in hopes that we fare better this
evening.
Did tell you that we are going to
organize teacher-training class in

Sunday school work after they get
out. 1t is getting to be great life

work in place like the army, still
you can never tell by the dress what

This is a real spring day. 1t is
so warm that one almost feels like
going swimming. However, / fear
if one should try it he would soon
change his mind. 1t is a great day.
I fear for storm as we most always
have one after such beautiful day.

Of the boys said that they intended to
push such work just as soon as they

may come of a few spoken words.

THE GIRL WE LEAVE BEHIND

l am feeling pretty worried over all
the things l hear
Ut the shrapnel and the cannon that
are roaring round you, dear,
OF the zeppelins and aeroplanes and
the snaky submarine,
But worst of all the things | hear
that nearly turn be green;
Is the fear of all the damsels you will
be meeting over there,
The Partisan and the Belgian maids
with their fascinating air.
Be loyal lover, don't forsake the
girl back home,
No matter how they smile on you
don't let your fancy roam.
Oh, the French girls they are pretty
and the nurses they are kind,
But don't be traitor to the girl you
left behind.
l know that you will be loyal to the
red, white and blue,
And l hope you will be loyal to your
little sweetheart too.
Against the Huns they spell with "U"
you will hold your own, know,
But | feel you may be ambushed by
Hon you spell with "O',
Stand guard against temptation,
don't surrender to their charms,
And wait till you come back to me
before presenting arms.
Leave the French girls to the French
men and the nurses for the Docs,
And the soldiers in kahki for the girl
who knit the socks.
Tho you find the French girls pretty
and the nurses very kind,
Don't be traitor to the girl you
left behind.

Dear mother and folks at home:

This is nice country here and

was killed about half an hour before
l was wounded. NOV. H. saw
when he was hit, but did not think
1t was serious. You can phone his
sister and tell her that know
where he was buried, close enough
to find it anyway. He was by buddie
all the way thru. / found him a fine
fellow. knew him at home and we
were together all the time and slept
together when we could.
He was killed about two miles
from Bayonville just after crossing

You will find the place in the Ar

in The AUX: "Small cod and

fishermen are often smothered in
traps or killed when the traps are
'emptied, and / have seen them
floating for miles on the surface
when the trappers were at work.
The cod trappers catch a great

their nets in the channels when
the salmon first make their way

but is winked at by the officials. A

Other high points in DR..
Throckmorton's arraignment OF
women's clothes, and mems too,
were:
Morals and dress are in
timately associated and never be-
fore has modesty in dress seemed
to be so little in demand among
our young girls. The customary
street dress of last summer was an
offense to ones finer sensibilities;
with it's abbreviated and narrow
skirt; shoes designed to attract
the eye. hose likewise. thinnest of
crepe de chine waists and only a
little ribbon and lace underneath,
and cut so low in the neck as to
be offensive.

tured corsets that she is wearing.
"Flagrant sin against good
taste and good morals are not to
society and the stage; offence may
be committed against good taste
in downtown offices by too sheer
shirt waists.
"Diaphanous materials are the
poetry of dress; cloud-like quail
ties of tulle and chiffon are beau
tiful. but their feecy beauty
should be displayed over a SUD-
stantial lining Of silk.
"The neck and reasonable
portion of the shoulders and arms
may be disclosed with no loss Of
public morale, but please note that

shoulders and bare neck give the
impression of nakedness no MAJ

A fold of tulle is no substitute for
a sleeve.
Longer And Wilder.
"Too short skirts may be an
offense to good taste. Good taste
and modesty dictate that the boot
top should be the dead line of
height, and that no part Of the
stocking should show. The skirt
no longer trails on the street or

meeting Of the American Public
Health association in the Hutchin-

when DIR. Jeanette Franc Throck-
morton. Phi. B., M. A., M. D., a
woman physician of the Iowa
state board Of health, told group
of mothers where the styles of
their daughters dresses origl-
mated.
This exposition, for which DR..
Throckmorton vouched her word,
brought to light the information
that the internationally famed
Partisan houses of fashion are
really not at all the originators Of
these daring and freakish modes
which reach us each year, but that
these creators are merely apt imi-
tators of the dranerv genius Of
the Varieties, the .Jeannes. the

said, are always copied from a

"The adolescent daughter, hav-

she does not understand, often
uses poor Judgment not only in

made this appeal for remedying
the evil:
