 Thus Kathryn Smith Johnson, of Los Angeles. charges her sister D. A R.'s, who have been in convention in Washington
 Give four children to the Republic. the California member urges each feminine descendant of pioneers.
 Don't permit the sturdy strain of our native stock to die out; advance Americanizalon by increasing the posterity of the hardy pilgrims; con serve their early fortitude. So the Western delegate offers her resoIu- tion.
 Various comment has grown out of the suggestion of Kathryn Smith Johnson, coming from fellow mem bers, clubwomen, mothers and women by whom the care of children has been taken up as a social pro- blem. Among these last is Mrs. Oliver Hartman, a mother and phiian- thropist, who approves the resolu- tion-

 ITO rear children in American ideals is a fine ambition for women and it is the thing that makes life happieSt-
 There is no real life for a woman without children. That is all a woman's life. It is an excellent idea to make wives feel this responsibility to the country, well as to them selves and to their families I hope the resolution is adopted by the D. A R."
 Some members of this organization agree with Mrs. Harrinlan's views and some others do not.

 Mrs. Simon Baruch, regent of the knickerbocker Chapter of the D. A. R., heartily endorses the resolution.

FIRST NSTALMENT.

"I understand. Now. Mir. Ire la-Sney Hope. I should DC much oblig- ed if you would tell me exacly the circumstances under which this doc ument diSappeared.'
 That can be done in a very few words. MT. Holmes, The lerter-for it was a letter from foreign poten- 6ate-was received six days ago It was of such importance that I have never left it in my safe, but l have taken it across each evening to my house in Whitehall Terrace. and kept ,. in my bedroom in a locked despatch box It was there last night Of that I am certain I actually open ed the box while I was dressing for din- ner and saw the document inside. This morning it was gone The des- patch box had stood beside the glass upon my dressing table all night l am a light sleeper, and so is my wife. We are bo<h prepared to swear that no one could have entered the room during the night And yet l repeat that the paper is gone

AN ATTRACTIVE sLIP-oN BLOUSE

So becoming in Fheir simplicity are the dainty little blouses and frocks found in the wardrobe of the present day schoolgirl For the correct rrock for school must be both pracu cal and simple.
 The eV1olu tion of a blouse from a straight strip of material folded across is a frequent occurrence Of course, much importance is given to the detail of childrens garments when made on these sim pie straight lines. And they are generally en- hanced by a touch of gay enlbro6d- ery in contrasting shade or by ap- plique.
