FIXING UP THE HOME
IS A PATRIOTIC DUTY
And Buying Clothes Is, Too-Tioo Things to Do No,o That Yin
Employ Returned Soldiers

At FIRST thought we do not cons
meet ''sprucing- up" our ward-
robes and our homes with finding em-
ployment for returned soldiers. But IL
works like this: The more work set
in circulation by the demand for clothes,
rugs, draperies or whatever it may hap
pen to be, the more men factory owns
ers are able to place. There are in the
United States %, 200, 900 families. If
each family only did the merest bit Of
fixing think of the blessed hum Of in
dustry that would be set in motion !
But, of course, some millions of the
twenty are utterly incapable, financially
speaking, of rising to the situation :
therefore it is up to those householders
who can afford at this time in some
way to loosen the purse strings to do so.
There is as much patriotism about
lending a hand to place the returned
soldier as there ever was in lending
a hand to sending the boy over there.
Of what avail all the tears and prayers
in wartime for the safekeeping Of our
BOYS If we prayed them back only to
settle back in the ofd selfish grooves
of life anG ignore them?

IN ITS "spruce-up campaign the
l. War Department has been urging
private manufacturers, owners of es-
tates, buildings, factories, homes, ETC.,
to repair their buildings, their walks,
their roads and thus provide employ
ment for the returned service men.
just now this becomes Il very prac-
teal suggestion to women. Not only
can they spruce up their homes, but
they can build up their depleted ward
robes. What n joy it is too. Can it
only have been a year ago that we
were rationed as to the number of
pretty things hanging in the clothes
closet? Certainly it shouldn't be a
hard matter for women to be patriotic
about getting new clothes.
And fixing up the home ought to
afford real thrills to every woman
Without a qualm of conscience she can
revel in new araperies, new wall paper.
rugs, curtains and electric filings, and
make the house oil over again. And
maybe houses do not need this re-
furnishing! What with all available
paper, cloth and paint being used by
the government probably not one aver
age home in the country came out of
the war to standard.

TINE statement has been made by
l. authorities on woman's costume thet
you can always tell the vintage Of a
dress by the sleeve. 1t was like the
bouquet of a wine or the rings in a Cali
fornia redwood. This may in the main
be true, but more than Il decade has
passed with very little modification in
our sleeves. Before that, when We wore
this season q froCk or suit that had
been made the season before, the most
essential thing was to change the sleeve.
The rest would do. OF late years the
sleeves would do if we only brought the
skirt up to date. Sleeves have appar-
emily been very unimportant. II we
have done anything original along that
line it has been not to wear them at all,
Evening gowns have been sleeveless,
and the French tendency of late has
been 10 abbreviate the sleeve in the day
time. They even went so far Us tC

tween the shoulder and elbow. That is
a fashion that will never cross the
Atlantic.
Now, after a period of Indifference
to arm covering, it seems as if they
were going to be taken in earnest again.
And students of woman's dress are
watching with great interest the present
tendency to elaborate and enlarge the
portion of the sleeve about the cuff
1t looks very much as if we were going
to have the Merveilleuse sleeve after ali.
Some of the new sleeves are shown in
the sketch today. On the figure there
is one of chiffon combined with satin.
Just below the figure is a sleeve of
duvetyn trimmed with buttons of the
same material and silk loops. To the
right of this is one of velour with
seams down the upper arm and cuff of
muskrat, while below them all il a
sleeve of satin tucked at the wrist and
finished with a rolling cuff of the same
material.

he is so sarcastic. He claims that the
goody girls (whatever he means by
that write nonsense to you. .
Why does he make himself n OF

Another word, why did you leave the
good little girl in Maryland to find an
other Boy from Maryland? If l were
she, | would surely show you some
thing. l may be the girl at that, but
| hope | am not so unfortunate.
When you go back to her, as you
expect to, it will serve. you right II
she doesn't notice or consider YOU at

angel of a woman, and I'm willing to
wager that you wouldn't be able to
treat her right when you did get her.

In Painting WOodUOrk

When cleaning or repainting wood
work in Il room, it is difficult to avoid
marring the wall paper. Often ugly
stains are made at the side of the mold
ing, or above the base, and these IAN
not be easily removed. To protect the
paper, there is nothing better than a
fiat dustpRn which, by means of its
handle. can be held in position and
moved about as required. This protects
the paper perfectly, and it is possible,
by its use, to clean, paint or varnish
the whole of the woodwork in a room
without marking the paper in any way,

The Bible on Divorce

Dear Cynthia-In reference to the
question asked by margaret as to
whether a woman should marry n di-
vorced man or not, | would like to
refer her to the only reliable guidebook,
the Bible. To one perplexed about
this matter the following passages
should prove to be all the advice
necessary, although many others would
help her UNNECESSARILY.
Matt. 5, 80: "Whosoever shall put
away his wife, save for the cause of
fornication, causeth her to commit
adultery and whosoever shall marry
her that is divorced committeth adult
cry"
Exodus 20, IA: Chou shalt not
commit adultery"
Matt. Il, 2S-3O: Come unto me
all yc that labor and are heavy laden,
and l will give you rest. Take my
yoke upon you and learn of me for I
am meek and lowly in heart and We
shall find rest unto your souls. For
my yoke is easy and my burden is
light" MRS. S. II. W.

Where I am employed there are two

Their clothes are plain and neat for
work, and good they don't wear the
men (as they call themselves) do not
want that kind.
Here is their choice. I work with
them and know:
Their hair parted in the middle and
drawn down to their eyebrows, two
rolls at the ears and in the back, the
hair all fixed which forms a fan. 1t
makes them look like fan tail pigeons.
You could not begin to wash the paint
and powder off, and, to top it all off
dressed up in the latest styles, they
walk and look at us as though we were

machine shop, for that is where we all
work. They are far from good looking

clown. Good luck to you always.
