Letter To Mrs. Williams
From Her Son Shows How
Books Are Welcomed
By Boys.

The American Library association
must have another half million vol
umes at once. =
Overseas representatives of the
A. L. A. cable that three quarters of
a million mope books must be sent
to them at once, if the actual need
for reading matter among the Amer
lean soldiers is to be met.
After all available books, inelud-
ing possible purchases and books
from closing camps have Geen COM
puted, there remains a shortage of
nearly. half million volumes. These
must be obtained as gifts.
Many of the two and quarter
million books that have been sent
over have been worn out, or lost
through the exigencies OF war and
transportation. The communica tons
printed here show that the condi-
ton is not overstated and that the
need is urgent.
Cable received from Burton e.

+ One simply could not help greeting
ones friends with a "bon jour, mon
ami" when wearing either of these
hats. They are SO decidedly French.
The Paris milliners are using a great
deal of ribbon and satin combined
with straw this year and this smart
toque and the sailor are two Of the
most attractive models from Blanchot.
The toque, which is on top, is made
of blue satin set off with gold cord.
1t was designed especially for motor
ing and has a satin edged veil at
tached. The satin band under the
chin serves to make the veil easy to
adjust. 1t is quite a practical inno-
walton to come from frivolous Paris.
The sailor pictured beneath is a
very youthful model of beige colored
straw. The entire hat, both crown
and brim, is covered with fimbriated
ribbon of the same color. A band of
black velvet for contrast encircles
the crown. 1t makes a suitable hat
for street or country wear, with suit
or frock; for early spring or summer
very serviceable hat which
seems quite unlike Paris.

THE THINGS WE MISS.
When a friend, we've loved has gone,
Said farewell and travelled on,
What Is 1t we sigh to know,
We who struggle still below?
What Is it he took away
That we yearn for, day by day?
What is it we long to claim
Not the luster Of his fame?
Is our sign of grief displayed
For the money that he made?
Do we mourn a friend because
He had earned the worlds applause ?
When his soul has left the clay
Do we miss him, day by day,
And is all sorrow for
The few medals that he wore?
Was his life 30 small and cheap,
Now that he has gone to sleep,
That we miss, with him away,
But the. glitter Of display?
Oh, the things we miss. when one

Tn fact, we have reached in a few shdrt years a position that it took Great Britain, the business nation par excellence, generations to achieve. Fears of unemployment of the masses should be considered with the known fact in view that i'm immigration, which should have given us 5,0O0,0 900 per sons in the past four years, has been almost at standstill. Furthermore, we are not sure that our whole army is coming home much before a year from now. War taxes are a source of apprehension, but these, too, should be looked at in the light of the fact that taxation in this country has not assumed the ll-pervading character imparted to it in Europe by centuries of custom and precedent Unless most signs fail, the possibilities of future state control. interference or regulation are not so great as ed certain when we were in the full stress of war.
 Lower prices may come, not all of them at once, by the way, and may fere with the processes of proper re- adjustment. While war imitation may have been responsible for some of the present high prices, the latter in the last analysis merely spell scarcity which it should be our work to re- move, and in removing make business friends who will stick and customers who will come again. No headlong break in domestic prices seems prob able with the purchasing power of our people so high; supply and de- mand conditions what they are; stocks of goods outside of govern ment hands not burdensome; those in government control, large perhaps, but promising to be liquidated conserva- lively; credit conditions, as reflected in failures, sound; the farms of the country such mines of wealth, and the outside worlds needs so great.
