MENDING PARTIES.

During the war quite frequently il was
because We thought it was 0ur patriotic
duty that we made old clothes do where
new ones would have seemed more dc
SIrablc now II is necessity that makes MS
wear old clothes. More than one woman
has thought rather rcgretfully Of the good
warm old clothing that she bestowed on
the needy Bclgians in moment oi
patriotic fcrvor during the last months az
tho war. Some ono is wearing ii now
doubtless, or did until warm weather set
in. And We don't begrudge them the com
fort they get from our caSt-ofT things
But really now, if YOU had il back. would
Won give il away Wouldn't you mend
and darn and patch and rcnoyatc until
you could wear II yourself
Oi course We all Of lJS do buv new
clothes Ii is part ol the spirit az tile
times that We all want attractive clothes,
but when clothes are So expensive as they
arc Al present We want 70 conserve them
We want 10 use what we have on hand in
order to save the garments that have cost
us so much. Now whereas two summers
ago you always carried 4 knitting bag
with YOU TO porch parties so that voI
might 90 on with YOUR sock making for the
soldiers and needy Europeans, IL is Ciite
who has children especIally VIII come to
porch parties with mendIng bag.
Bring Nour mending Is he usual IN
junction when housewives ask each other
to come to spend few afternoon hours ii
conversation
And often there i q distinct advantage
IN mending thus with your friends There
are tricks in mendIng that we can show
e3ch other. or instance, It IS not every
wife who knows the neatest, quickest way
10 turn cuffs on a man : shirt, or 20 rob
piece nearly from the tail Of the SHIRT to
use TO reinforce the weak place just below
the collar band, worn BY contact IS 18th the
collar.
But We don have much time for fancy
work To be sure al your porch parties
there always viii be the young bride whose
clothes are too new 10 need mending. or
the young engaged girl who dreams only
Of the future. and they viii be at work
over some dainty bit Of table linen or
little boudoir cap, but il is usually the
nendng bag that holds sway nowadays.

| who forgot old times, and old ties, and ole
| favors when he made money or achieved
some place of power, for the man ol
woman who move from Poverty Flat tf
/ Easy Street is often farther away iron
| us than the distance between the two
worlds.
The friends whom we lose are those
who show the yellow streak under the
stress of life; who turn traitor: who prove
dishonest, and shatter our ideals
of them. Those whom we have
once loved and honored and can
no longer love and honor we have, indeed,
| lost though they still be living, but the
noble dead we never lose. They are part
and parcel of our lives until the very end.
No one would underestimate the mis-
fortune of the wife whose husband is taken
from her bv death. To be bereft of the
strong arm that sustained her, and the
tenderness and love that embodied her IS
truly crown of sorrow to n woman.
But the woman who has known a good
mans love and faith, and who can count
over the happy DAYS of her life with him,
and live in the blessed memory of the
los she has known, can never really
lose her husband even though he has
passcd beyond the veil Though unseen,
hc abides ever with her. His wisdom still
guides her His presence hovers about
her freside. and she has only to send her
thoughts after him into the far country
to which he has voyagcd to summon him
back. and to hear once more the carcss OF
his voice to see the love light IN his ewes,
and TO know that dead or alive he Is still
hers.
The woman who loses her husband is
the wife whose husband tires OF her, who
ceases to care for her, and whose heart
strays off after another The woman who
has lost her husband is the fat. grizzlcd,
commonplace old wife who sits alone of
nights, eating her soul out in lmpotent
jealousy. ms her husband philanders with
girls Young cnoung to be her grand
daughters, and spends on them the money
she shaved in the early davs'of her wife
hood to help him make. She is million
times more to be plticd than the widow
who weeps above the coffin OF q faithful
husband because she has lost both hus-
band and her respect for him. She has not
even a memory TO console her
And the mother whose children grow
IN 10 bc selfish and cruel and neglccttul,
who show her that they consider her 4
burden and that she IS IlnwelCome m their
homes are not these more truly lost 70
her than the dead babes whose clmging
arms she can always feel about her neck
and whose warm little mouths are forever
in memory chnglng to her breast. Many
and many time the only child mother
has left to her is the one that lies III the
little mound in the churchyard
Happy those who are only separated
from their loved ones by death, for they
shall never lose them.

the battlefield in France. or through some
dreadful disease. \ mother will mourn
the babe she lost on whose grave the grass
has been green for thirty years.
But we make no greater mistake than
when we think of the dead as the lost.
1t is life, not death, that robs us of our
beloved. Death seals them to us forever
and forever, beyond all possibility of loss.
There are no friends closer to us than
our dead friends. We may see their faces
no more, but our souls are in constant
communion with them, and they are the
ricnds whose love and loyalty we never
question.
Docs some piece of good fortune come
our way? Our first thought is if only John
and Mary were alive how they would re-
ioce in our success We see how their
eyes would shine with joy IN our Joy. We
hear their hearty congratulations that
have in them no spice of malice or envy
as those Of our living friends so often have.
Does misfortune lay our heads in the
dust? "Ah." we cry, ''if only John and
Mary were here to sorrow with lis IN our
grief. to bind up our wounds in the healing
ointment of their sympathy We should
not weep alone if only death had spared
the friends on whom we could count with
out fail.
Do we need help? We call the roll Of
our living friends with doubt. II is TO the
memory of the dead that we turn with
certainty. We should not have asked Of
John in vain Mary would not have with
held the helping hand We should not
have had to ask them for assistance, for
their love would have OWNED our want.
Nothing can come between US and our
dead friends Their hearts are knit to ours
with bond that stretches from time TO
eternity, and that nothing can break.
The friends whom we have lost are
those from whom we are separated by in
difference, by treachery, by self-secking,
or greed, or some unworthy act that has
killed our love for them. and made them
far more dead to us than if they were
buried in the grave.
The friend whom we have lost is the
one who poisoned our little moment of
triumph by some petty jealousy. he
friend whom we have lost IS the one who
calously passed us by when our hearts
were wrung with grief. or who turned his
back upon us when we cried to him for
help in our need.

close touch with the delegates there the question Of

that the benefits sought in Constitutional amendment

Statehood to the Dstrictcarve out the STATE OF CO

Mr.. Perry able constitutional lawyer and all the
delegates to both the big party conventions found sen
ment strong for enfranchsng and Americanzng the Dis
tc but equally strong opinion that the proposed Con-
stitutonal amendment is cumbersome and lacks drecess
Having exclusive legislative authority the District
given in the Constitution, Congress could undoubtedly
create State out of the District At any the consent
of only State Maryland which ceded territory to the
Federal Government would be necessary
Measured by population the District is larger than ten
States Of the Union Measured by democracy it is less than
Porto Rico or the Philippines where the people have
suffrage.
Mr.. Perry is right in asking civic organizations to
consider his suggestion Congress give Statehood
it desires but the question arises to whether it will
surrender any of its exclusive legislative rights the
District
What Mr. Perry and thousands of other District citizens
ARE hunting for is the quickest possible method of securing
