Styles change less in u~ndermuslins

are usually new and interesting de-

away from it and away from silks.

czechs Superb Artists.

As artists, the Czechs have power,
Imagination and superb technique.
Their sketches show the pride and
manhood of the Czech soldier, who has
gone through all the demoralizing ex-
periences that have ruined the Rus
slams, but has come through clean and
sound.
The Czechs are musical. To hear
the marching songs of the Russian
soldiers in Petrograd was inspiring.
But the Czechs- have more than music
In their s~inging-they have a chal-
lenge and a promise. The Czechs
sing as though they were creating
a "Marseillaise" and not simply re-
peating it.
Czech music, whether it be the
marching song among the box cars,
or the violin solo in the Red Cross
car among the wounded, is like that,

Believes in Physical Training.

Marguerite L. Smith, elected to the
New York state assembly from the
Nineteenth New York district, is TWEEN
ty-fve years old and a specialist in
physical training and her election is,
she believes, the natural outgrowth OF
the work she has been doing in her
community all through the war. She
will not give up her work as physical
director in the Horace Mann Elemen-
tary school, where she is also super
visor of girls clubs.
In the summer for several years
Miss Smith has been director of the
physical training and dancing at Camp
Hanoun, n girls camp in Vermont, and
has also superintendent the girls hikes
through the White mountains.
When she was in a teachers college
Miss Smith was president of the ath-
letic association for two years and re-
ceived the highest individual score for
athletics in her senior year.

HOW NATURE CLEANS HOUSE
Fall Rains Wash OF the Dust Of Sum
mer and Wind Sweeps II Up and
Blows IL Away.

We humans have a dire way OF talk
ing about the calm before a storm as
though It was a brief intermission in a
bitter round of evil days. AS a matter
Of truth a calm may last sunny and
serene for weeks at a time. 1t Is he
storm which merely clears the air for
another calm, John Brock writes In the
Kansas City Times.
If the weather is sulky and fearful,
shifting to itself in little gusts Of drops
or occasionally bursting into a good
steady cry, It may remain unsettled for
days. But when 1t lets itself out into
a real tantrum it will hardly outlast
the sunset.
The other morning trouble began to
brew before sunrise. The ftful night
wind steadied with the light as though
it had just awakened to the fact that
it had a good days work ahead of 1t
For a time 1t lowered, as though to

have departed to town for the winter.
1t is really surprising, the amount of
muss It found. The most careless
housewife hardly dares to let her ashes
and potato Feelings accumulate beyond
a certain point, but summer gets clut-
tered up with all manner of unconsid-
cred trifles. Even such tiny things as
the husks Of seeds, the wings of gnats,
the CASTOR down of the little birds, ac'
cumulate into surprising amounts.
Smaller, but still more untidy, are the
molds and germs, elements OF decay
which have their place in the scheme
of things, but must not be allowed to
usurp that of their betters.
All these things the wind found. 1t
sighed and set to work sweeping the
earth with angry, vigorous blasts. And
the dust rose up and filled 1t with
sitting clouds. Like the Augean sta
bles, here was a task nothing less than
a river could wash clean. 1t reached
out for a lowering cloud which hung
far in the western sky and dumped its
contents until every crack in our part
of the earth's floor was running over.
1t secured and rubbed and scrubbed
and rinsed until it squeezed that cloud
completely dry and flung it hack to the
highest rack of heaven until it should
be fit to use again. And then it went
on polishing up the world until it was
fairly dry again. And while it worked
it's voice took on a satisfied contented
sound. For this particular corner of
the universe was as fresh and clean as
it had been in early spring.

SWAMP SOIL AMAZINGLY RICH

Of Reclamation.

Beginning with the great lDismal
swamp Just south of Norfolk. Va. and
reaching in an almost unbroken strip
of tangled wilderness In the Ever
gIades Of Florida. the swamp region
of the South Is one of the greatest I'M
developed possibilities and n OF the
largest and most picturesque bits of
wilderness left in America.
Neither It's economic value o Its
beauty is e generally appreciated.
Every one knows about "the arid
lands OF the West" and how they are
being reclaimed. but few realize that
the southern swamp lands offer a far
richer return in the work Of reclama-
ton. The deep black ooze which UNI
derlies their stagnant waters will
make the richest soil in the world.
This is the region which offers the
pest opportunity for the carrying out
OF our long-delayed program Of fur
nlshing farms for soldiers.

Have COURAGE.

In the present turmoil the giddy and
thoughtless are revealing and rioting.
The cost of living is high, but multi
tudes are living high. Wise men are
troubled and sometimes lose faith in
their fellows because of their folly.
Now is the time for the strong Of
heart to show themselves strong. God
still lives and will use omnipotence to
help those who trust him and stand
for righteousness. Let men of cour-
age now show their courage and CO.
operate with God in saving the world
from moral bankruptcy. Christians in
these perilOus days must lean hard
on God, who win yet bring confusion
upon his enemies. "Oh Lord of hosts.

My, how her feet did hurt! It was
now two o'clock in the afternoon and
she had been traipsing about all day
in search of Christmas bargains. 1t
was a balIny fall day and she couldn't
lay the hurting to the weather. Her
shoes were two or three months old
and had never caused her distress be-
fore.
But there was no denying the aching
appeal for relief from the lower ex-
tremities and she HE'D herself to a
restroom in one of the downtown

She stopped to unlace the shoes and

ing all day with each shoe on the

ol. Harson,s Early Ambitions.

In the Worlds Work Ole Hanson
thus relates the unique circumstances
of his first night at Seattle: when |
came to Seattle in 1902, l pitched my
tent on Beacon hill, a close-in, nonset-
tied part of the city. The first night
arrived l stood on the hill and saw the
~child-city spread out before me. Below
me to the west were the tide lands COW
cred with bulrushes, with an occasion
al street on stills running over them
to the north was the city ablaze with
light with small buildings, narrow
streets, a station house for a depot and
hills and hills, covered with forests.
around the fire that night l told
the curious who had gathered to watch
the strangers that we had come to
Seattle to make it our home, to be a
part of its growth, and that some day
l would be its mayor. OF course, they
laughed at the idea of the r~ed-headed
stranger with his team and covered
wagon becoming the mayor of their
city of 100000 people"

tons are set along the top of the peck
cts and on the narrow belt at the back.
1t is a suit for any cline or any sea
son.
The suit at the left differs only by
having more buttons set in two long
rows at the back, with bands of braid
joining them. They form a narrow
panel that is turned under, in most un-
expected fashion, at the bottom. 1t is
little, unusual touches of this kind
that give clothes distinction.
Designers who determined to use
braid evidently made up their minds to
think up new ways of applying it.
These are only two of several braid
trimmed models that have compelled
admiration for their originality and
ingenuity.

Chinese skiIIfuI Candy Makers.

The Chinese are very skillful in
making confectionery. They are able
to empty an orange of Its pulp entire
ly and then fill it up with fruit Jelly
without one being able TO find the
smallest cut in the rind or even a
tiny hole. Indeed, they even empty an
egg in this manne and fill 1t with a
sort of almond nougat without one be-
ing able TO find the slightest break or
incision in the shell.

There is no type of country which
offers such effective resistance to in
vasion and improvement as a south
ern swamp. Tropical jungle is no more
dense and much easier cut through,
for the bulk of the tropical growth is
soft. But a Georgia swamp, for ex-
ample. consists of a close growth of
hardwood trees and tough bushes in
terlaced with various kinds of vines
and creepers such as the vicious green
briar with its inch long thorns. The
whole has much of the quality of a
barbed-wire entanglement.-Niksah, in

dresses, blouses, ]petticoats and corset
covers made of it do not differ much
from those of last year. A pretty
nightdress, shown in the picture is a
good model to copy, and other gar
mentS can be made with the same de-
sign in decoration. Very narrow cross
bar tucking, fine val lace edging, set
together with beautiful, painstaklng
eXactness, account for its trimming.

alton at this season, also the holidays
brought out the usual number of pref

net. A few of them are made with
wire support like the glorifed Dutch

A revival of a style long neglected
is the featuring of bracelets, earrings,
pendants, rings and pins of old gold,

garded with favor by women generally
for over thirty years.

Braid and buttons have been the &C.
customed decorations for suits for so
long a time that we take them as a
matter of course and are not surprised
to find them among any seasons pro-
auctions. Their popularity GIBBS and
flows; occasionally there is a season
when they almost disappear and then
comes a time when there is no getting
away from them. They have been at
the ebb for the past two seasons
sparlngly but most cleverly used in in
genious ways that are surprisingly
novel. Like the return of old friends
after an absence. braid and bone
buttons are welcome, especially when
we discover them so smart and orig

WOMEN DIPLOMATIC
IN TENNESSEES
CALL ON PROPOSAL
Will Leave Date Alone Lest Re-

San Francisco, June 29-Women ad-

day not to attempt to induce Governor
Roberts of Tennessee to advance the
date of his proposed call of a special ses-
sion of his legislature to consider rati-
fication of the federal suffrage amend

the formal call Immediately. He has
said he would call the session for Au-
gust Q.
Suffragists, headed by Mrs. Abbey
Scott Baker, said that they were salts
fled with August as the date for the
call if the formal call were issued at
once. They insisted. however, that the
issuance of the call was most import
ant.
The gravest fesr of the suffragists is
that Republican members of the Tenn
essee legislature may block ratification
of the amendment as did Democratic
members in Delaware.
Members of the North Carolina dele
