La Mode Returns
 To Muslin

Years ago dainty dresses of muslin
 were much favored by women or fashion. In fact this fabric filled the place now held by crepe de chine and georgette, and filled it well, for even today it has not quite lost it's charm. Fashionable designers do not

During this period, while Munroe was
going through Harvard Miss Sedgwick
spent her time learning how to live and
dress on a most limited allowance. 1t was
at this time that she first displayed an un.
canny talent for making her dresses and
hats and even lamp shades and other
pretty things for the house
Then, of course, came August, 1914,
when France was invaded and life turned
topsy turvy for everyone living in that
war-torn country. Miss Sedgwick and her
sister, Aileen, now Mrs. James Blackstone

and at night, too. In canteen, and then

American men, found himself impelled to
enter the lists against Germany. Hurrying

wounded and was frequently under heavy

BY this romance Misf Sedgwick is en-
aUled to give up her dual role Of working
girl by day and fashionable belle by night,
and will become the latter once more both
night and day. 1t has been a year now
that she has been punching the time clock
and earning a weekly wage which enabled
her to dress as she desired. And all that
time Mr. Munroe, it appears, has been
ardently but quietly wooing her And at
last he has won.
John Munroe has good deal OF money,
to begin with, and considerably more in
the future. He is the eldest son of the
Henry Whitney Munroes, of New York and
Tuxedo, and a grandson and namesake OF
the founder Of the banking house of John
Munroe & Co., OF Paris and New York.
The Munroe firm represents not only
great wealth, but social prestige and in.
fluence, and while 1t is in what we might
call the conservative class to-day the fam
lily are still powerful financially and
socially.
To have captured this most eligible
young bachelor is a great card for Miss
Sedgwick, not only because sof his family
and fortune, but because he is That our
leading novelists call an outstanding young
hero, carrying not only the scars OF war,
but the much coveted Croix de Guerre and
reputation for courage and gallantry.
He was graduated from Harvard In 1918
and when the war broke out the following
year he helped to found and served with
the American Field Ambulance. After two
years OF active service he Joined the
French artillery and was one of the first
Americans to receive a commission from
the French Government.

lots to talk about and naturally they ar
ranged to meet again during their next
free time. There were walks in and about
or lunch, with always our hero leaving for
the danger zone and Adelaide going back
to her duty and her very becoming uni
form.
But the girl was young, she showed the
strain OF the work she was doing, and
after a year her mother packed up her
belongings, and her family returned
to New York. She felt that her two girls
had seen enough and now they must re-

and 1876, 600 tons in bottled soft drinks.
Ii has been p common observation that
those individuals who drink much alco-
holic liquor do not care for candy. This
is only to be expected, n view of the
lagely similar functions subserved by the
two substances. 1T is equally evident
that a cessation of ale hol consumption
is likely to be accompanied by a hunger
for sweets as the most nearly allied
substitute. The purveyors of sugar
containing sspeciaIties, such as candies,
soft drinks ice cream sw ,et crackers,
glazed ir1its and nuts. should make
special efforts to present their wares in
attractive and easily available forms so
that their use will be even more widely
popularized. A decided extension OF

prove one of the most advantageous

That there will be a direct relation
between prohibition and an increased
consumption Of sugar Is asserted by a
writer in The American Food Journal,
who observes
