their heads beyond their present good
times. clothes and friends. They be-
lieve them to follow the example OF
the grasshopper rather than the ant
in the matter Of laying out plans for
future action.
Ono example that disproved the jus
tice Of this attitude was given by the
girls who attend the columbia Jo-
nior High School when they held
special meeting last week to con-

experience of personal contact with

The students found many practical

only q few feet away stood a hunter
with q terrible gun. There were just
two things In favor Of Mrs. Grouse.
One was that she was 30 near the

that he did not see her. On her part
Mrs. Grouse kept perfectly still. Was
she frightened? OF course. she was

seemed to her that her heart almost
stopped beating. 1t seemed to her
that sooner or later that hunter
would be bound to see her. She
knew that II he should take 1t into

Mrs. Grouse kept her bright eyes

was watching shouted back and
turned his head to look down the hill.
The very second he turned his head
a roar as her wings made! She made
all the noise she could with them,
hoping to startle that hunter.
But that hunter had hunted too
often to be startled in any such
manner. He was surprised, very
much surprised. but not startled. The
second he heard the roar of those
wings he whirled around and brought
his terrible gun to hts shoulder ready
to shoot. But he didn't shoot. No

Mrs. Grouse had saved her life by
her quick wit. Had she flown in

low, darting In and out among the
trees and circling far around in the

ME members Of the business

T. w. c. A. have demon
strated the constantly in
creasing tendency among business
women and girls Of Washington to
interest themselves In dressing in
tclligently for business. Too many
girls, since the great avalanche of
women into the business world dur
ing the past few years. have shown
questionable taste in their manner of
dressing for their working hours
There has. of course. been a COM
plextty OF motives causing many girls
to dress as though they were going to
elaborate teas or evening affairs
when they were going to shops or
business Offices at $3.50 or Q o'clock
In the morning. Many Lived SO far
from the center Of town that it was
Impossible for them to go home to
dress. especially for u concert, dance
or the theater. after work. Some be-
came rather intoxicated by the pos
session of respectably>Aarge salaries
and therefore. dress being the nat
ural extravaganza of the feminine
sex. they bought expensive. fancy
clothes. They could. of course, have
spent just as much money getting
simple. well tailored clothes. but many
were not yet educated up to" the
possibilities Of a good suit and dainty
blouses.
The shops. of course. were largely
to blame by not having attractive yet
sensible clothes to supply the need of
these women. But the whole situation
is now revolving itself quite salts.
factorily for all concerned. The girls
themselves, in clubs such as the bust
ness girls clubs and other women's
organizations, are overcoming this
handicap in the most practical method
possible. Thursday night the business
girls clubs had the last of four spe-
cial meetings, with talks by special
list on women's clothing and textiles
and demonstrations of clothing that
showed good lines and the proper ma
terials( for use on all occasions The
girls themselves were the models and
the suits and dresses were furnished
through the courtesy of q local de-
partment store.
Miss Mildred King. secretary of the
business girls department of the Y.
w. c. A, is credited with the original
idea for the demonstrations. Thursday
