WOMEN UNPATRIOTIC? "DARE
TO PROVE IT," SAYS M'LISS
She Suggests That the Sex Get in Back of the
. ' "Patriotism Day" Project and Shove
for All They Are Worth
T)ATniOTl8xM( we. havo been told tlmo and tlmo again, la peculiarly ft maseti
X Una virtue Indeed, not so very long ago I read a highly Interesting tract
by an Individual of militaristic tendencies, which purported to proo that thcro
Wt Something In tho feminine composition Inimical to a devotion on tho part
or tyomon to tho welfaro of their country.
' It was held that a. certain pettiness In our make-up blinds us to large Issues;
that our affections have a personal and seinsh barits, and that tho lives of our
fathors, our husbands and our sons aro Inllnltely more precious to us than tho life
of our country.
On what these gentlemen predlcato their Interesting beliefs, I do not know
Certainly there Is nothing In history from which they can draw tholr In
Blorlous conclusions. Joan of Arc, Barbara Frlctchle, Molly 1'ltcher and Edith
Cavell, tho English nurso, whoso recent doath at tho hands of her country's
enemy gave tho world pause, are but a few of the examples of sublime patriotism
that women furnish,
jBut, of course, It is not tho Isolated Instances which best exemplify women s
eApaclty for a patriotic feeling. Tho example sot by tho millions of rronch, Oel
glan, German and English women of today; the examples sot by tho American
women -who fifty years ago buckled on tho armor of their monfolk and endured
"inconceivable privation, hardship and outrage, while Ideals wcro being fought
tor, and tho nation was soaked in blood, constltuto tho real proofs.
Women havo nlwnys been patriots. They are today. If any doubt remains,
consult tho enrolmont of tho Preparedness League and seo tho thousands upon
thousands of names of women who havo signified their Intention to give their
Utmost even to shouldering arms and going on tho battlefield should their
country call.
Even that sentimental ballad probably tho most unpatriotic outburst ever
written "I did not ralso my boy to bo a soldier" did not emanate, unless I
greatly err, from tho brain of tho so-called "unpatriotic sex."
Ju3t at present this city is In a fair way of being chosen the scono for a
stupendous display of what might bo termed tho national virtue. The advertising
men of tho world, who will convono hero In June, nro discussing tho question
of setting aside a.day to bo termed "Patriotism Day." Let tho women grasp this
opportunity to demonstrate whether or not they aro inimical to tho welfare of
their country. Let them show that they havo not confused patriotism w'th
militarism. Woman's subtle Influence Is held to bo of tremendous value, i. t's
Use It and mako "Patriotism Day" a certainty.
Scarcely Believable
The eccno Is In an Ovcrbrook home, where evidences of afllucnco abound.
A Juvenllo party la In progress. A 10-year-old boy, whom I shall call Harold,
because that Isn't his real name, and this Is a real, true story, approaches a
little girl of 8. Sho Is adorably frocked, and looks like a bit of Dresden china.
Says Harold, accusingly: "You naughty girl, you'vo got rouge on your faco
again."
Says tho naughty Uttlo girl with sophistication: "Well, what was I to do?
Anna's nurse told mine' that she was going to wear it, and my nurso didn't want
mo to look a sight. So there:"
Gcntlo reader, this sounds fai fetched, but on my really, rlghty word of
honor thero were Main Line tots at that party with their baby cheeks tinted.
And their own nurses did it.
SEEN IN THE SHOPS
Letters to the Editor of the Woman's Page
Adilretm nil communication (a .M'l.li. rare of thp Evening Ledtrr.
side at (lie miner only.
Write on one
Dear M'LIss Wo sometimes sea on
Chestnut street "sandwich men" (so
called) with advertisements swinging foro
and aft from their necks. Wo also seo
women advertisers wliobe advertisement Is
their faces vividly gotten up.
Tho youth who powdered In church
mentioned in your article. May bo a
"willy boy," but why Isn't a "make-up"
just as reprehensible In a woman or girl
os In a, man. Or do wo look for nnd expect
mora foolishness In a woman than In a
man? FOIITUNY.
Dear M'LIss Will you kindly tell me
what will remove marks (caused by plac
ing hot dishes on tho table) from a highly
polished dining room table?
Will you also tell me If a spot can be
removed from a grass fibre rug? C. I. G.
Virtually every expert whom I. have
consulted In regard to your first query
declares that the only really satisfactory
way to remove marks from a table made
by hot dishes Is to have the entire table
done Over. If your table Is a valuable
ono, this Is expensive.
One furniture dealer told me that he
had had some1 success In removing these
marks with an alcohol ball which con
sists of a ball of cotton or muslin well
saturated, but not dripping. In alcohol.
This, however, he declares, removes the
varnish and polish along with the spot,
and unless it Is rovarnlshed presents a
dull, ugly appearance, Just as undesirable
as the heat spot. The most practical thing
to do, therefore, In my opinion. Is to have
an expert "do" your table.
If the stain on your rug Is fruit juice or
a vegetable stain, a "rug" man tells me,
disappointingly, that It cannot bo taken
out, Decause these stains only respond to
a Dleach. and bleaches, of course, leae a
light mark. Grease, however, can be re
moved with naphtha, ether, benzine or
refined gasoline. Care should be taken to
prevent Ignition from friction or a flame.
Nut Bread and Cheese
Nothing Is more delightful than nut
bread and cream cheese sandwiches, nnd
they hate the added advantage of being
a good Lenten dish. Hero Is a good
recipe for nut-bread: Take 4 cups of
flour, 4 t'caspoonfuls of baking powder, 1
tcaspoonful of salt and U cup of sugar:
sift thoroughly; then stir In two-thlrds of
n cup of shortening; beat 1 egg well; add
this and 2i cups of milk to the dry mix
ture. Stir all well, then add 1 cupful of
walnut meats. Bake In a moderate oven
until thoroughly done.
An Offering
I can give not what men call love.
But wilt thout accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the Heavens reject not.
Tho deslro of the moth for the star,
And the night for the morrow.
The devotion for something afar
From tho sphere of our sorrow?
Percy Bysse Shelley.
A Combination
An odd frock for summer wear shows a
new two-cloth combination, rose-colored
lawn with white taffetas. The style Idea
gomes directly from Lanvln and already
American manufacturers are planning
soma ad vancer models in this mode.
A Romper Combination
Rompers are sensible for the youngster.
A pretty conceit, and an economical one,
Is to make the upper part of one material
and the bloomers of another. In this
way you can utlllzo to the last scrap any
remnants of material which you may have
left over from previous summer sewings
Plain chambray In color, combined with
checked or striped materials are good,
for Instance. To mako the little garment
truly Interesting, one mother puts applique
elephants, dogs, cats and any animals
which she is clever enough to cut out
right on tho front of tho blouse, which is
fitted In yoke effect.
