8 EVENING LEDGER P&IkADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1016. B DttLL FOREIGN MAN SNATGHERS BE. GRAVE MENACE? M'LISS ASKS i - ,, i .. ,. , Influx of Determined Women After the War May Complicate American Girl's Marriage Problem "ntJlOit tho vast horde of foreign i wohiert who, tho war prophets tclt Us, toll! Invade thcuo shores after the great onfl!ct la over In an endeavor to wrest Ur prospective husbands from us, O Lord deliver us I liven as tho forty-niners went heller Bkcltci aaross tho continent at the first cry of "Gold" In California, so also will these purposeful dames respond to tho cry of "Men," good American, money- iriuktng men, and come sailing over the Atlantic with the pioneer determination that brooks no Opposition. Can we afford to let them In? Can we, tho women of tho United States, with mascu)fnp adulation as our heritage, and thu right to choose ono from many, Bit idly by and let these Interlopers, which prognosticating tell us are coming Just as suiely as a hot presidential election is coming, walk right in, minimize out sup ply of marriageable men and cast their matrimonial nets under our very noses? X-ol statesmen yowl and socialists howl rtbout tho magnanimity of tho "open door" and the necessity for unrestricted irnmlqtatlon, but have not we some say in the matter? According to tho census of 1910 there were In the United States only 108 men to oveiy 100 women. In many of tho big Kustorn States where the newcomeis so luVo to take up their abode there Is al ready if big surplus of women. Before tho war England had over a million more women than men. After tho tmoko of battle has cleared, It Is cstl ir.atcd that at least one-fourth of the femlnlno population of tho British Isles will have to go husbandless. Discontented damrols who worked off their chagrin by smashing windows and throwing bomb' at .Prime Ministers may decide upon the mo,e pacific activity of emigration. In Germany, too, there is likely to be a deplorable dearth of physically and men tally healthy men. Will the Teutonic maids bo content to abide In a country where there are only the lame, the nalt and the blind to choose from? If my knowledge of womon is worth anything, thoy won't if they sec a way out. J hen wilt come tho problem for the Amrrican women. Feminists may deny It and disappointed women may protest, but deep in tho breast of every woman there is cherished the hope tlmtomo rt'i. she wllj have a husband, a home nhd children her very own. Will she hUbrnlt to having tho realization of this hoi c threatened by the Invasion of possi ble rivals? 1 trust not, though at the present moment, hampered as she Is by the lack of n direct political Influence, I do not Beo what she Is going to do U-out It. That hardy and daring thinker, Ellen Kav, perhapi the most courageous femalo feminist In the world, Is already conced ing herself with the solution of the prob lem that Ihe surplus of women In Europe will bo responsible for. "Alter the war," she writes in a recent article In the Atlantic Monthly, "woman's prtBU-qts from tho point of view of her nntmal duty motherhood will bo dark, Indeed. The number of women who will have to dismiss all thought of marriage nlrcady far too large Is destined to bo come larger still." Slip tails upon these women to be true to themselves and their flneit Instincts; to turn a deaf ear to tho Government hlt.h shall try to Induce them to be tho victims of a "national child-bearing" crgy. "If womon, after the war," sho write-,, "willingly comply with tho wish for 'na tional chlld-benlng' and 'patriotically' support this competition, they do not de serve anything better than that their sons 20 yearn hence shall (ill now trenches! Let us liopo that they will not be will ing! "If, for national reasons, woman should become untiuo to tho highest Instincts of her nature, which lead her to give the race only children of love, she will sink so deep that neither tho right to vote nor any other rights will be able to help her. Warning voices have already been heard pointing out that, from a bio logical point of view (that Is, tho tians- mission of hereditary traits), love Is neces sary. My intuition In this respect seems, therefore, to be verified. What love means to spiritual happiness every ono knows who Is truly loved." In the meantime, while our slsteis pre pare to solve their problems, let us add a clause to our litany that heaven will pro tect us from the possibility of an Influx, which would complicate our own quan daries.

I should be puzzled where to look If I wanted to procure the quotations. If there be In any public library a collection of tho works of the sreat temperance orator who turned the heads and moved the hearts of the American public 70 years ago the sentences you want may be found there. Or the phrase Is memorable enough to live lit the recollection of somebody who heard It when the mind was young and memory plastic. Ballad by John Sinclair As a reader I am going to ask your help Can your Corner tell me who Is the author of the following, or muy I have a copy of It: There waa a man named Johnny Sands Who married Hetty Hague, And though she brought him gold and lands. She proved a terrible plague. If r remember rightly, there are about six more verse to It. C. K. "Johnny Sands" (the unlucky) was sung; of In my girlhood's days. It Is an Kng Uih ballad by John Sinclair. I know nothing; of him except the name. It Is a Jolly song', and well woll worth a revival. Can any body contrlbua a copy tor C. I-y? She quote- the first verse correctly, If my memory serves me aright. In Public Libraries Where can 1 procure a copy at Ella Wheeler XVilcox'a poem entitled. "Man's Amblton Is to Know If a Knows"!

Furnishing a Girl's Den As I have been a reader of jour Corner for some time I would appreciate It If you give m a few deas how to furnish a girl's "den." such aa decorating the walla and general fur nlshlngs. ji, i. jtj To begin with, have the room "express yourself" your taste and. to some extent, your characteristics. Secondly, study sim plicity and harmony. If the walls are pa pered, let me advise that you select a neu tral tint rather than a bright blue or pink, or even a pale green. If there be ngurea In the paper, have them small and Incon spicuous, Lovely wall papers may be had In soft grays, buffs and golden brown, plain or with narrow lines running through them, or In what Is known as a "tapestry ef fect," Imitating the grain of tapestry. Do not crowd the walls with plcureu of divers designs. Get a few good engravings or photographs of really fine pictures, with here and there a group of family photo graphs. If the floor be of hardwood, see that you have rugs which will tone in well v.th walls. The simpler the furniture the batter, Do not have It look like "a Job Jot" picked up at a bargain. Htudy comfort In the selection of chairs and lounge. If cush ions and seats be covered with cool linen In summer and the windows be draped wtn scrim or plain muslin curtains, the effect of coolness and repope will be soothing and pleasant. I wish I could talk to you on the subject of haying your retreat reflect your self. I can give but a few outlines that rnay be pf use. SMART SURF OUTFIT HERE Is an effective and practical swimming suit pffectlvo because It's cut on simple and smalt lines, nnd practical because It allows peifect freedom of movement for the swimmer.

' THE WOMAN WHO SEWS Readers itho desire help uilh their dress problems will address communications to the Fashion Expert, care 0 the Editor oS tho lroniau' I'aoc, the Evenina Lciloer, Perhaps in the near futuro he will pop up that hardy perennial of tho dross world ho who without sign or warning has It bruited about each summer that It's going to be a white season! But nt tho present time ho Is away, out of town Perhaps ho Is In the trenches. At any rate, he- isn't with us nnd the sartorial forecast Is that wo are going to hnve a riotous, orgiastic summer of wonderful colors. The shops do not belle this prognostica tion. Marvelous cottonH have taken on all the colorful designs of the old oriental hIIIch, Perhaps It Is because cotton Is primarily an American product and the boogey-boo of the war and restricted Importations do not apply to It, that It threatens to be king of summer materials; but It Is here In all Its glory and In such soul-satlsfylng mixtures of pigment that one finds it dilllcult to realize there Is a dje famine on. Of course, this cotton de luxo Is not al ways Inexpensive. I saw a wonderful dress goods pattern the other day In tascinntlng blue tints as loely as any brocade which sold for J1.50 a yard, which la a price that might be described ns "steep" for cotton. But more and more, heaven be thanked, the world is becoming willing to pay for workmanship, Dear Madam What kind of a girdle would you sussest to wear with a flesh pink olle gown? It Is ery simply made, with a ruh tucked skirt and an old-faahloned basque bodice, with peplum. I do not want to get silk. Also, what kind of a hat would ou wear with this sort of an outlltT MARY. A very expensive model seen recently was made something llke you describe, with a girdle of old blue Velvet about two Inches wide. The effect was very dainty, for the velvet was caught at one side with a loop of tiny moss roses, hanging In long streamers from this almost to tho hem of the skirt. This would be serviceable, be cause you could use it on other frocks A broad-brimmed leghorn with summer flowers and od blue velvet bandeau would look charming. Dear Madam I have a fairly large white shape that I want to trim In some simple and Inexpensive way. What would you advise me to use? I wanted a painted hat. but these are too expensive for me. Your advice will be ap preciated O. R B Why not simulate a painted hat by cov ering It with flowered chiffon? Or you can applique designs of chintz or cretonne. A white grosgraln bandeau and tailored bow Is Inexpensive and attractive. Dear Madam .What Is the best method to wash glne silk undergarments? I have tried several times to get a reliable system but none seems to work, and I And tlu articles themselves getting yellower and yellower after each Immer sion. WEST PHILADELPHIA, Wash tho garments In tepid water, using Hoap without any caustic in It, If you can get this White castllo or any good white soap will answer. If tho silk la white, use a pinch of borax In the vvter. Avoid nm monla, however. This la what has prob ably turned your silk yellow. Pink does not need anything but soap and water. Let the garments stand In the borax water for about 20 minutes, rubbing between the hands frequently. Rinse In two waters, run through tho wringer. Hang out ; when half dry take them in nnd spread them on a clean sheet, iron with a fairly cool Iron, with a clean piece of cloth or paper be tween tho nrtlclc and tho Iron. Dear Madam I am going away for a two weeks' VHCHtlon to the seashore. I have sev eral good dresses for afternoon nnd evening wear Hnd don't want to go to any expense for morning outfits. What would sou advise me to get for general wear? I am tall and light and rather thin. K l,, k A few dainty shirtwaists and several pretty white skirts will do you for the morn ings. White keeps clean a long time at tho seashore, and I am sure you can find plenty of moderately priced articles In the shops. A silk sweater, low white shoes and sports hat will complete tho costume. I Enameled Clocks 1 I and 1 I Novelties Jade, nmethyst and quartz paper cutters ; bureau boxes, pin trays", ash receivers, toilet bottles. Z. J. Pequignot Picture to yourself a student's room a decidedly feminine student, for there are at leant six photographs of joung gentle men around the walls. Set at one siue oi the room a bookcase full of scientific vol umes. II. O Welts In rtermnn nnd Shake speare In calf-bound editions On the large table Is placed a bowl of white and pink peonies, a vane of Rnapdragon Is on the mantelpiece! In the centre of Ihe room, re clining In a comfortable armchair, the fair owner herself nnd ou have the, Ameri can home of Miss or, rather, Doctor Ger trude Loewensteln, of Stuttgart, Germany. Throe years airo, just before the outbreak of tho war, this young girl enmo over to America to study dentlstr at Temple Uni versity. Two clays ago she received her degree from that college, and In two weeks she Is going back to her own home to take her sharo In the groat work that women are doing over there. In her Norfolk sports suit of white flan nel, her fair skin and hair accentuating the blueness of her eyes, she looked the typical German girl as Americans have been ac customed to nlcturn her. "How did I come to select Philadelphia?" sho repeated smilingly "Why, In Germany everybody looks on Philadelphia as a den tal centre. This city Is famous for Its dental progress No, I didn't spealt a word of English when I enmo over here, nnd I never took a lesson " A thing which It Is hard to believe when ono hears her perfect pronunciation, for her accent Is slight enough to he delicious, and her command of words. "Then, too, American women have so much llhci ty much more thnn n German girl. My sister, who Is studying medicine In Germany, has not half tho freedom I hnve over here, and my pareots are more liberal In their views than the average Gor man father or mothex Is. "No, I never got lonesome! I had too much to do. Dentistry Is very hard j It means constant study nnd lots of practical work, I went homo one summer tho summer tho war broke out. I mannged to get back by way of Holland, but I have not been homo since. I get my homo mall all right. If one considers It all right to have It three months late and censored," she concluded A study of conditions In Germany at present shows the deplorable lack of pre ventive dentistry measutes In the lower classes In Germany, Doctor Loewensteln declares "The poor people over there would rather suffer with toothache until their teeth drop out than pny a dentist," she said. "They don't know that two trips a year to a re liable dentist will keep the bills down for many years. It Is this spirit that the Gov ernment Is trying to combat. They have a dentnl expert connected with every public school and have plenty of free clinics be side. I nm particularly Interested In chil dren. "Tho mnn dentist Isn't Inclined to bo patient and gentle with children. Any womnn dentist will tell you this. A man would rather loso a child patient than be bothered with petting and coaxing him. Why, when I have children to treat I tell them fairy talcs. They listen to tho tales with such attention that their mouths naturally fall wide open, and you wouldn't bellevo It, but some of them don't even know what I am doing. I am going to specialize In children's work." Tho question pf wnr xvork nnd dental treatment among tho soldiers is not of In terest to Doctor Loewensteln at present. She nn3 ueciueu uoUDts about the way her Amer ican degree will bo received. "I expect that my American degree will probably bar me from doing war work," she says "But there Is so much to do among the women and children tho latter espe cially that I don't care about tho war part of It. Now la the time when women can accomplish most In Germany It is really ! v U MISS GERTRUDE LOWENSTEIN the golden opportunity for us, and, of course, 1 Intend to take advantage of It. "I am expecting a certain amount of de lay on my return trip home. I shall be In terned seveinl clays In England, although I nm going by tho Norwegian Line Then when I get near the German frontier I have to undress and tnko my hair down, nnd show every kind of certificate you can Imag ine, nnd all my belongings ns well before I can bo nllowed to enter. If I weren't a woman I couldn't get Into Germany at all." The Locust -A Locust fell. It fell upon the Mnlden's robe. And feebly there It stood, recovering slow, The admiring girl surveyed The outspread sails of green Ills gauzy undcrvvlngs, One closely to the grass-green body furled, Ono ruffled In the fall, nnd half unclosed. Sho viewed his Jet-orbed eyes. Ills glossy gorget bright, Green glittering In the sun, Ills plumy pliant hotns. That nearer ns sho gazed Dent tremblingly before her breath. Hobert Southey.
