ENGLISH WOMEN
SAVED AND SERVED
BY COOPERATION
By MARGARET WALTER

LONDON, April 17.-One of the
movements that have been stimulated
and expanded by the war is the CO.
operative movement in England.
When other societies and organiza-
tions for duration the cooperative only
/! doubled their activities, taking on
more members every month, adapting
their system to war work, undertaking
all sorts of public responsibility, and
especially in the small towns, enabling
their members to procure the best and
cheapest of what was going. During
the worst days of 1918 there were no
queues at the cooperative stores and
no favoritism either or boarding, just
plain straight cooperation, with each
other, with the Ministry of Food and
with the big aims of the government.
But the purely food and economical
aspects of cooperation is not by any
means its most important develop
ment in this country. There is no
possible doubt that as vehicle for the
education of women the cooperative
guilds, distributed through the whole
length and breadth of Great Britain
have done more efficient work than
any other. In domestic and farm i'm
provement here the results are only
less remarkable than those accom-
plished by the Agricultural Cooper
ative Society of Ireland, and in child
welfare, hygiene and politics these
Women's Guilds are turning out
women who are fully qualified to take
their places in all reconstruction work.
1t SENS to me that the Women's Co
operative Guild takes the place of the
Parent Teachers Association in the
towns at home, of the Farm Institutes
in the country and the ordinary self
Improvement clubs in the big cities.
Their are generally about 20 members
in each guild and there are nearly
thousand guilds in the country. They
have weekly meetings but they do not
confine themselves to one line of in
terest or work. Their cooperation
goes into every detail of their lives,
they share and share alike in every
sense with the result that they are
dragging their communities with
them to a position of responsibility in
affairs of local Importance and It is
not difficult to see that it's only
question of time when they will be
shouldering their share of national
public work.
At typical meeting of Womens
Cooperative Guild in Woolwich
whose members are made up of ar
senal workers and arsenal workers
wives, domestic workers and profess
sional women, in one afternoon they
listened to reports on the Labor Con-
ference which was going on at the
time and to which they had sent two
delegates so as to get an impartial
view. The other reports were on the
Coal Commission "a child welfare ex-
hibit in London and three original
papers on schemes for rehousing the
district Every paper was followed by
animated discussion, which ended in
decision of a general line of action
to be held to by the Guild in regard
to these questions. In the meantime
tea was served and before breaking up
a few domestic matters came up. Mem
bers who had got hold of labor saving
devices passed them around. The food
of the moment and how best to pre-
pare it and cook it had an important
place.

out the glamor that hedges an army
officer just returned from the
French battlehelds, is an extremely
lovable and attractive chap.

to the girl at my side. Pretty as

Disappearance Of
Correspondent Is
Subject Of Inquiry

Paris. June 1l.-Col. E. NJ. House,
one Of the United States peace dele
gates, has been asked to investigate
the disappearance Of Robert Minor,
a newspaper correspondent and car
toonist, who was taken from his ho-
tel, presumably by French officials.
The American embassy was asked
by Lincoln Steffens to inquire about
Minor. but no informat ton was
forthcoming. Consequently Colonel
House was requested to investigate.
Minor recently came to France
from Germany and was in Russia
for many months preceding last De-
oember. He formerly was employed
by the New York World and the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. His
trunk is still in his hotel, but his
papers have been removed. Minors

What Madge's Mistake Disclosed
to Her.

I had a bad quarter of an hour
while Alfred Durkee sat by Rita
Browns side exchanging a rapid fire
of amusing nonsense with her when
he was not laughing uproariously at
her sallies.
M one can deny the girls bril-
fancy, nor minimize her caustic,
bizarre wit. The rest of US found
ourselves drawn in spite of our
selves into the conversation, and
soon the veranda was the scene of
hilarlty in which there was neither
time nor thought for the quiet
beauty of the blossomedN vista
which had so entranced US for a
few moments before.
Little. Mrs. Durkee joined in the
laughter and flying badinage with
the rest-she is too accomplished a
hostess to fail in any duty required
of nerLbut her usually round,
placed face held worried lines, and
her eyes were shadowed with care.
Once l caught her eyes, and there
flashed into them look of reproach
which l felt with compunction was
we'll deserved.
1t was upon my advice that she
had made unusually cordial and
urgent the invitation to Rita Brown
and the Fairfaxes that her son had
asked her to send. 1t was my voice
which had urged the theory that if
Alfred were given the opportunity
to see the girl for week away from
the garish studio atmosphere which
had always surrounded her, he
w.,u'd be- cured of the attraction for
her that his mother dreaded, but l
hoped existed only in her magma
