DO NOT REPEAT MISTAKES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: How are you all getting along these cold days? All busy trying to keep the steam up and getting thawed out, and ready for a Happy New Year?
 After seeing Arlene Ms letter I could not sit still any longer. I will say to her; if she. values her future happiness she should under no cir cumstances go to live with her hus- bands mother. or some of his rela- tions. If he loves her, as she says he does, he should be willing to provide a home for her even though it be two or three rooms, She will feePthat she is in her own boss; and can do as she wishes, while if she goes to live with his mother she will, always be the smaller of the two and unless she has the disposition of an angel, and the power of endurance. it might end in sorrow and separation.
 If you hire rooms do not go close to her where she can run in at any time Of day and see all and know all your business. I would have some kind of understanding before I married him. Ii he loves you, he can not refuse you. ] I know of one woman where they had quarrel after quarrel, daughter. i in-law and mother-i -in-law, and after her son was married nineteen years he left his wife. They had two chil- dren and lived close to each other, ant near me.
 1 I know of three women who are jus on speaking terms with mothers-in. law, on account of living with or tot near them.
 If she bosses you now she will thinl nothing of trying to run you aftel marriage. You might stand it fo some time. but you could not forever When one marries they should go b, themselves. and all the relations vii like and think more of you and vii always be friends, Arlene N.
 merry Christmas and a Happ, New Year!

Children Given
Chance to Obtain
Real Education

The Vocational Scholarship Committee Of
zoo Henry Street is paying scholarships to
several hundred high school and trade
school children. They take promising chill
dren who through force of circumstances
must leave school and go to work at the
age OF fourteen, and by giving them enough
money each week to help relieve the
strain at home, enable them to stav at
their studies or to specialize in some trade
training. They are, in other words doing
actual work to fit industry with more eff
cient workmen.
The United States government, realizing
that children accomplish no good by be-
ginning work too young, has organized a
back-to-school drive. 1t begs parents to
keep their children in school. The only
way this can be accomplished for children
Of the poor is for the community to help

amounts to So week, or $3.50 wear. Miss
Margaret Brown, executive secretary of the
committee, interviews the applicant. She
learns the childs life history, why it wants
tho scholarship help, why it needs the
money, what are the circumstances of the
family, what are its marks in school, what
are its ambitions. Miss Browns assistants
then investigate all the points upon which
the child has been questioned and ascertain
the teachers view Of the matter, whether
or not the child's parents sympathize with
the scholarship idea, etc The committee
then votes upon the granting Of scholar

Her Progress Reported

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Members of
the National Women's Liberty Loan Com
mittee are assembling their forces in Wash
ington for the Victory Loan drive, which
is to begin April 21 The extent to which
the work of selling Liberty bonds has been
taken over by women is set forth in the
report of the womans committee for the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, issued this
week by the Treasury Department.
More than 100000 women served actively
in the last Liberty Loan drive. According
TO Miss Mary Synon, vice hartman of the
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, their
organizations throughout the country have
been kept practically intact and as many,
II not more, are expected to sell
notes this spring as served last fall Prob
ably the last big piece of volunteer war
work will be done by the Womans Liberty
Loan Committee and it's branches in the
Victory Loan campaign. 1t is likely that
after that drive is finished the members
of the National Womans Liberty Loan
Committee will disband, as did the mem
bers Of the Womcn's Committee Of the
Council Of National Defence
Women Learned Finance
Not until after the first Liberty Loan
did the women Of the country begin to be
an organized force in the bond selling. In
the first loan they did some publicity work.
the committees chief function among the
women Of the country being to teach them
something of finance and the actual mean
ing and value Of bonds
Organizations throughout the country
were worked into the machinery of the
committee before the second loan. The
women of the nation were organized by
states, and the Treasury's loan organiza-
tion was divided into the twelve fiscal diyi
s1ons of the United States. To correlate
the women's organizations and the Treasury
loan organization, women were appointed
as state and Federal Reserve chairmen.
The state chairmen were representative of
the women in their state, and the Federal
reserve chairmen represented all women
IN their districts when dealing with the
district Liberty Loan committees.
Sixty thousand women sold bonds in the
second loan. Five hundred thousand were
enrolled under the Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee in the third loan, and there we're
chalrmen in nearly every county, town and
township in the country.

Waste of Money
Charged to Women
ByMrs. George Bass
Ne1U York Tribune
Washington Bureau

HGShtngr0n Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The method
OF the National Woman's Party in cam
paigning for woman suffrage was crti-
cised by Mira George Bass, chairman of
the Women's Bureau Of the Democratic
National Committee, to-day. A letter from
Mrs. Lawrence Lewis asking for money for
the Woman's party was the subject of
Mrs. Bass's attack.
My attention has just been drawn to the
latest appeal sent out by the Woman's
s4.sS:s." said Mrs. Bass. at is remarkable
for several things. In the first place, it
is the frank admission.
"'We believe there was just one reason
why the suffrage resolution failed to pass
the Sixty-ffth Congress, and that reason
was-not enough money
How Did They Spend 1t?
"One feels like asking which Senator thew
expected to buy, and whether the price
has gone up, and how much they expect to
have to pay. The writer goes on to saw
that they must get out into the districts of
all doubtful and opposed men, because If
the agitation for suffrage subsidies there
ls nothing surer in the world than that
Congress will be willing to shelye it for
an indefinite period They follow this
up with the touching statement, Our treas
ury is empty!'
But they fail to tell how they cmptied
u. IL they had spent the funds trying to
oeicat anti-suffragists they would be con-
sistent, but they did nothing so reasonable.
AZ the same time they were trying to de-
ieat Senator Moses, the Republican can
diaate from New Hampshire, they were
printing great display advertisements in
tao Colorado newspapers calling Colorado
women to help achieve the political freedom
Of all women by casting their votes against
the Democratic candidate for the Senate
as protest against the party's refusal
OF suffrage to American women. Vote
against Senator Shafroth.' They did this
at the same time that they admitted that
the suffrage cause had never had better
friend than he.
Asssils Party's Tactics
ut Is almost incredible. With an.
peals on every corner on behalf of stary-
ing babies, dying nations and awful
wretchedness all over the Old World, tina,
misguided people are still willing to give
these women money to spend in advertis.
ing themselves.
at time when all right~minded women
the world over have been giving their
time, their money, their energies and them
these women have gone on with their tao
tics ~ II they never had heard Of the war
and were unaware Of any greater conflagra-
tions than those started In front Of the
White House.
