TROUSERS FOR PARIS WOMEN
Modistes Show Daring Oriental Suits
of Lustrous Gold and Silver
Tissues.

PARIS, France.-Daring oriental
suits of lustrous gold and silver It's
sues ending in trouser legs, which
are held close to the shoetops by
straps, sometimes embroidered in
precious stones. passing under the
wearer's instep, are featured in dis
plays of summer models in Partisan
modistes' parlors. Some models coyly
veil the trousers with fiImy materials.
Recent rumOrs that tight lacing was
to be restored to favor have proved
to be erroneous. In fact, little if any
corseting will be needed next summer
except by stout women. The length
of street dresses being shown is
about the same as that most in vogue
last fall, but the hem is narrower.
Bright textures will appear in many
of the most popular creations and
patterned materials will be featured
by some of the more famous houses.
One of the most popular models Will
show a founce effect and a tight I'M
derskirt of jade green. A smart little
jacket with %gorgeously embroidered
lining has been given the stamp of ap-
proval in some of the more exclusive
shops.

CITY FOR WORKING WIVES
Johnstown, N. Y, One Place Where
Nearly Everybody Works.

Nearly everybody Works.
A city where almost everybody
works-and likes it's pictured by
Mayor w. w. Chamberlain of Johns
town, N. Y.
The labor department in Washing
ton, after a survey of the cities Of the
country, found that 76 per cent of the
women of Johnstown are contributors
to the family income. This is the
record for the country.
Mayor Chamberlain was asked to
tell more about his city. He re-
sponded:
"The wives in Johnstown make
gloves at home. More working peo-
pie own homes in ~Johnstown than in
nearly any other city. They are hold
ers of large amounts of Liberty bonds.
"Wives, whose husbands own their
own homes and automobiles, work be-
cause they like it.
1.-THE wages of men in this city vary
from $25 to $50 a week. Chore men,
without any experience, are being paid
Sd a day, and boys leaving school get
$3.50 per day.
Living conditions in Johnstown are
such that you cannot tell the work
ingman's wife from a business mans
wife. Women take an interest in all
civic enterprises"

Comes Back and Will Get Wife Who
Married Again.
"Enoch Arden" is home in Seattle
permanently. This time "Enoch Ar
den" is Richard Sorensen, who enlist
ed early in the war and was reported
KILLED in action"
Mrs. Beulah Irene Sorensen, his
wife and the mother of sixteen-year-
old Allen Sorensen, waited hopefully
for veriication of her husbands death.
1t came in the form of letters from
those who "saw him last" All hope
apparently gone, Mrs. Sorensen was
married June II, 1919, to G. G. Jack
son.
A few days ago a telegram reach
ed her from New York and it was
signed "Dick." The KILLED in action"
report was false. The two husbands
left the choice to her. Her choice
was "Dick," and she has started an
nulment proceedings against her sec
ond husband. The suit is an 'amicable
one, 1t is understood.

HER RUsE SAVES FATHER
italian Girl Takes Blame for Murder
In Pennsylvania as Par
emit Flees.

Bradford, Pa.-Margaret Dicello, II,
can marry any one of a score or more
of men. She has turned down pro-
posals galore.
The little italian girl won the hearts
of the youths of her own people by
the cute way in which she protected
her father from the clutches of the
law.
Margaret's father was accused Of
killing a man, but was at once freed
when his daughter confessed that she
fred the bullet. When her dad was
safe in Italy Margaret admitted that
her confession was a lie and was
given only to allow her father time to
get away. There was nothing for the
authorities to do but free the girl and
forget the father.
"I'm too young to marry" she tells
all bidders for her hand.

"Sedituss Cough BaIsam" Most
Effective in Combating Flu.

The medicine which proved most
effective in the recent "flu" epidemic
is a product of Atlantic City and is
known as "Sedituss Cough Balsam."
1t was used extensively, with wonder
full results. 1t is pleasant to take, and
is very good for children. 1t is va1ua-

Eugene D. Miller, secretary and
treasurer of the Pershing Square group
of hotels, was finishing a busy day in
the Biltmore in New York when his
telephone rang and a man asked If
the hotel could furnish a nightcap.
"It's not for me-" he explained. my
wife wants it. She's subject to colds
and wishes to take every %precaution
against this flu epidemic"
Mr.. Miller asked his married guest
to hold the wire while he cast about
for some means of providing the ac-
commodations. Reluctantly he picked
up the phone and said:
"Tm sorry, sir; there isn't drop in
the house."
"But, / don't want"
"Yes," interrupted Mr.. Miller, sadly
and soothingly, "and we should be very
happy to be able to accommodate you,
but every bit of our stock has been
removed from the hotel and disposed
of, weeks ago."
: 81 don't mean what you mean," said
the married guest. you are talking

and efficiency have no charm for the
feminine sex. Due to the efficiency
plank In the Interchurch platform,
first of all, the organization was in
dorsed and recommended to the
church women of America.
Big Budget for Babies.
A big budget for babies was the first
recommendation to the women of the
mission boards of the churches. This
applied especially to the children In
the war-stricken countries, but as we'll
to children in need all over the globe.
Women were also asked to support the
Industrial Department of the Inter-
church World Movement and the pro-
gram of organized motherhood for the
children of the world. Church women
in the various cities of the country
were urged to assist in obtaining CO.
operation with industrial, civic and
legislative child welfare. They were
called upon to remember that the con-
slant attention of every woman citizen
is imperative for the protection of
children.
The appeal of the children of our
own land and those millions of others
throughout the world left orphaned be-
cause of war, pestilence or famine
comes with double force to the follow
ers of Him who said, "Inasmuch as We
have lone it unto the least of these We
have done it unto Me-" And the wo-
men of America, in indorsing the pro-
gram of the Interchurch organization,
have put their mother hearts behind
the movement and added the power of
their intelligent cooperation.

That there would be much more at
