A young friend of mine came to

going to her first big party and, to
make IL even more exciting, she Is
going with an colder" boy. He's
finished school and has his first job.
But the thrill and excitement Is a
bit overshadowed by the fear that
she might not measure up-that she
might seem too young and unsophis-
tlcated and awkward. What must
she do? Mentally she Is counting
and of that number how many will
dance with her. She Is figuring out
what all the other girls will wear
and is panlcky lest they outshine
her. No slight reassurances will do.
She wants n well-ordered routine of

BILE. There Is nothing more absurd

the shops that are neither little-girl
nor woman-of-the-world. Bear in
mind that your youth is half your
charm, hard though 1t may be for
you to believe now. Dress your age,
neither several years younger, nor
ten years older. Select a shade that
is becoming to you-white and the
pale pastels are most becoming to
younger skins. When you get older
you will have to watch the shades
that bring out your better features
and do not emphasize the lines and
shadows in your face. Now is the
time to wear all the colors of the

is no foundation for the spurious
exaggeration relating to the ex-

no large divisions Of them on the
Western front either, as is gen

Since the war was declared, the
British war office has at no time,
issued any war comnunique for
the mobilization of colonial
troops. As a rule, colonials are
never c~onsc1ipted. This was true
in the last war. The colonial ex-
peditionary troops that enter the
last war joined up voluntarily.
Moreover, the British army has
all the men it a handle at the
moment.
Unlike the British, a black col
onial is consid red a full Pledged
Frenehman and he receives the
dignity and privileges as such.
Therefore it is possible for him
to rise from the rank of a private
to a general in the French army.
In view of these facts, military

of race, color or creed.

the fascinating story OF American
colonial research.
The Identification of Washington
as the author was made by Victor
Hugo Paltsits, Keeper of Manu-
scripts Of the Library. Examining
the notebook, he was struck by the
resemblance between certain notes
and ideas later embodied by Wash
ington in his letters to Governor Din
widdie, the Speaker of the House OF
Burgesses and other Virginia Off
Gals. Comparison with other mai
rial written by Washington in the
same year, and examination by hand
writing experts confirmed the fact
that the notes were written in Wash
ington's own hand.

in the cause she wants to serve
as she herself possesses.
Hitherto, Britain had jealousy
resolved to thwart all progress
along these lines. However, an
unprecedented statement has just
been issued by the prime minister
in the house of commons which,
if executed in truth, would open
a new vista for Negroes in the
army, especially doctors. The
statement reads thus:-
eve have had in the last few
days a striking demonstration of
the united determination of the
empire. From Canada, from the
commonwealth of Australia, from
New Zealand, from the Union of
South Africa, and from India
have come cabinet ministers and
representatives who have travel
led thousands of miles in order to
make personal contact with min
listers in this country and to see
with their own eyes the gigantic
efforts in which we are engaged.
GAS honorable members are
aware, the empire has already
shown how generous and whole
hearted is its spirit of coopera-
ton. The fuller knowledge which
we shall gain of the plans of the
different governments as a result
of the presence of their minister
ial representatives here will be of
great value to us. And in their
turn we are confident hat the
dominion governments and the
government of India will find
that the first hand impressions
of their representatives will af-
ford them invaluable aid in gain
ing a full appreciation of our
common problems and of the best
and quickest means of solving
them.
Equally striking is the whole
hearted cooperation that we are
receiving from all parts of the
empire including Burma, and
from the colonies.
81 haxe expressed before, on
behalf of his majesty's govern
ment, out great appreciation Of
the spontaneous messages of sup
port which came Immediately af-
ter the outbreak of war from
every single territory of the
colonial empire. We did not ask
for these messages; the colonies
have not been forced into war
by Great Britain against their
will. The action of so many peo-
pies of various races is a witness
to their consciousness that threat
to Great Britain is equally a
threat to that freedom and we'll
being which has been assured to
them under British rule.
