CThe End
The other day, in a gathering of intelli-
gent men, we advanced the opinion that
no man is really happy in new suit of
clothes. 10 which one of our friends re-
tortcd that we are abnormal in this respect
Our theory is that there are two kinds
OF happiness in regard to clothes First
there Is the happiness that man feels when
he knows himself to be well dressed and
fancies that his fellow citizens are admiring
him. This is n very low form of bliss, for
1t depends entirely upon the presence of
observers. man with new suit on
desert island could not possibly experience
this happiness. Still. as it undoubtedly ex-
lists and plays certain part in the affairs
of the world, it must be admitted as a form
of pleasure.
But in this first form of happiness. the
wearer is always conscious of his garments,
His glee depends entirely upon his being
aware of his clothes, and also being aware
that others are aware of them
The true happiness can only be attained
when one reaches unconsciousness of ones
clothes and can devote ones mind entirely
to whatever merriment is current at tbe
moment. And as no man is ever uuite I'M
conscious of brand new clothes, he can not
attain this higher and intrinsic happiuess
until the garments have deteriorated into
satisfying disrepair.
We beg to assert that the only really
happy men We have ever known were always
wearers of comparatively shabby clothes,
Run over the list of your acquaintance
and see If you agree with us.
With women, of course, the case is en-
tirely different.
The ultimate test of General Pershinp's g
valor will be whether he has fortitude
enough to discard the famous Sam Browne

400, 900 YANKS ARE
Y. w. G. A. VISITORS

Four hundred thousand persons and
more served In the cafeteria in one
year is the record of the Y. w. c. A.
Hostess House at Camp Lewis, Amer
lean Lake, Wash.
The majority Of the 100000 diners
were mothers, wives, sweethearts and
friends who went to the camp to visit
their soldiers. The remainder were
soldiers themselves who broke the mo-
notony of "chOw" with home cooked
meals. In addition to all these guests,
$4,000 little children were cared for in
the nursery and the rest room served
10000 tired wives and mothers.
The workers at the information
desk received and answered $1,000
questions varying from how to get the
best connections to a destination clear
across the continent, the rates of sol
diers' insurance and the kind of Gre
tonne a girl bride should have in her
living room now that Private John is
coming home from France. Eleven
thousand of these queries required tel
ephone conversations with various
company commanders relative to hunt
ing up a soldier whose parents had ar
rived Unexpectedly.

The rooms are bright and cheerful,
with chintz hangings and cushions,

Picture shows are being put on in
France without cameras, scenery or
any of the necessary properties, ac-
cOrding to reports reaching the Ma
tional Y. w. G. A. from a Y. W. G. A.
nurses hut in Base Hospital.
Having no film or camera, the
nurses at Base decided to put on a
living picture show and invited a
group of nurses from a nearby hos
pItal to be the audience. 1t was a
real thriller, one of the wild and WOOL
ly west variety, with bucking brOn.

with the exception of placards, which

LEARN TO TRIM HATS
Y. W.. C. A. Saves Wife of General
From Becoming Charwoman.

Y. w. e. a. saves wire OF General
From Becoming Charwoman.
When the war work of the Y. W. G.
A. in Russia has all been told one of
the most interesting stories will lie in
the establishment of the first Womens
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day princesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women. and the money is
used for self support of these prin-
cesses and notable women as well as
for the peasant classes.
The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was so great at the time
the Association was established that
1t was a problem to find where the
money would help the greatest num-
Der of people. 1t was thought best to
expend it to help capitalize organiza-
tons for giving work and permanent
opportunities to families and individu-
ais to earn their own living.
The women bring their handiwork
to the Association for sale or take or
ders to do dressmaking, millinery, etc.,
in the rooms of the society or at home.
Suitable work was found just In time
not long ago to keep the wife of one Of
Russia's greatest generals from going
out as charwoman to earn bread for
her husband, who was Ill.
