'' O thotlcally appealing figure nmld the
abuse being heaped on the "hyphen" In
the p-wont crisis is the woman of Ger.
Mac birth and traditions who lias married
kn American and whose sympathies are
thus torn between the two allegiances.
There is a little woman In this city,
T: J'orn - Munich, but married to an ofllcer
rh l. I. tho United States navv. now on the
Jl retired list. Her heart goes out to her
countrymen, to her brothers fighting In
k he Kaiser's forces on the eastern front.
f .yet her boys, three of them, sturdy little
fellows, are American-) to the core and
f with strong pro-Ally sympathies.
fr When the first news of the Severance
of diplomatic relations, came her husband
went to her with the news that he felt
It his duty to offer himself again to his
country. Ha knew what lief repl would
t be, and, like the little soldier she Is. she
told him she would be nsh.tmed of him
If he did not fight for his country, even
though It might he against the nation to
which she had belonged.
HOW mm one help talking, thinking
and writing of possible war when the
atmosphere Is charged with it? Comes
now a pamphlet from the Camp Fire
Girls, statins their alms and Intentions it
a Conflict should come. There are ninety
) thousand -of these girls In this country,
nd their .position is outlined In the cur
rent number of their magazine by Cecilia
fkrwell, who says:
"It has been said that If all Women who
have volunteered for Hed Cross and other
special service since the present war agl
tatlon began were called to action there
THERE comes a time during the years of motherhood of almost every
woman when the life of her child is at stake; when on her falls the solemn
duty of saving that little life or of allowing it to go out. If you are one of
these mothers, how did you take hold of such a critical situation ?
For the best letter relating the experience of a mother at a time like
this a prize of five dollars will be given. Additional letters which are ac
cepted and published will be paid for at space rates. The letters must be
received not later than Thursdayof next week, April 5. Send them to the
Editor of the Woman's Page.

very Informal affair and you know all the
young ladles you wish to Invite very well,
informal notes might be written and they
could be asked to bring a man with them.
And the plans for meeting could be laid

A STORY FOR SPARE MOMENTS
"Ginger"
IORNA BKI'jVKS rem hed the .station at
J.Mahlen Just, ns the tiain :is moliig
away She stalled a nm. might hae eauglit
l! If she kad not hipped, and would h.ue
fallen had thp not been caught In tho aims
of a tail, handsome jnung leliovv dressed In
a kh.ikt suit.
"Taking that tialn?" he askfd swiftly.
"Ves. if you please Hut It's too late!"
she panted.
"Not It you i im that's It!"
With one hand he swung her satchel to
his own grasp The other clasped her aim.
What a manly, hopeful fellow1 h was'
I.ouih's pietty feet seemed tn i-klin the
ground lie lifted her to the steps nf the
last car of the tialn. crowded after her anil
got ready to spring back from the moving
lar, it lieu .Loinn. her hunil at the knob of
the door, exclaimed
"Oh, dear! It's locked'"
The fcttaugPiiesH of her position the
swaying car unnerved her Her helper read
the situation at a glance, got up beside her,
steadied her satchel with his foot anil hajf
sin rounded her with a guiding aim.
"Don't get nejvous." he said in a reassur
ing tone. "The conductor will soon be heie"
l.orna flushed at their necessarily close
contact. She did not edge away, however.
Theie ai. a "big biothei" consideration In
the nuisterlul wa.vs nf the hiimls-onie joung
fellow. She ob.-ered. that his attlie was
distinctly military He eemcil to lead her
thoughts.
"I must get back to my train when we
stop at the Junction." he explained, "i'oiii
punv there. You i-ee, we are. nn our way to
Mexico "
"Oh, you were not going on this tijiin'."'
spoke l.orna, realh dlsnia.ved. "And l" have
put ou to all nt this trouble!"
"I'leasuie honor," and the train drowned
nut some conventional woiiN. and Just then
the conductor unbaked the door A lose
that l.otna wore fell I'loin her coal. Her
escort picked It up and then the satchel,
placed It inside the car and hurtled back
lo Hie platfoim as a dossing was signaled.
As the train slowed up the Noung man
Jumped off l.orna at the window. Im
pulsively waved her baud to bet 'chivalrous
helper and smiled. He lifted his hat with
one hand, with the other ho swept the rose
In his other hand almost to his lips, und
the train rolled on, and J.ornu. having time
to unal.xze all the situation, hhibhed as she
wondered If she had been at all iinmaldenly
under the influence nf the exciting Incident
of the hour.
I,orna alighted at Hlltlieisdale with
eager expectancy In her tace. Then It
clouded. A team which she recognized as
belonging to Katnier Dale, h neighbor, whs
in view and Fanner Dale himself cheerily
hailed her.
"This way. Miss T.oina The folks asked
me to look out for you."
"But father " began l.otna. anxiously.
"Oh, he s well, only busy."
'And lllnger? AVhy didn't he send one
of the men with Ginger'.'" asked l.oiua.
"dinger? He's gone, you know."
"none" You don't mean dead!"
'Oh. dear, no' He's sold."
"Sold? Oinger. my pet, the horse wo'vp
had for years ! Why, he's like one of us.
r!old!"
"Yes, Miss l.orna, for a good price .and
for a good cause. You see, a cavalry com
pany for tho Mexican war was raised here
abouts and a lieutenant was given the Job
of furnishing horses. He came along and
took a fancy to Olnger. He offeied double
what he was worth. He asked your father
If he didn't want to be loyal and stirred up
his patriotism. After the animal was gone
your fdther began to fret and wished he
had Ginger back on your account. I
'wouldn't worry him by noticing It much, If
I were you, Miss J,oriia. Your folks feel
dreadfully sorry about It. but that lieuten
ant was a slicker and riled 'em up on duty
to their native land."
"Oh, no, I won't complain." said I.orna,
sorrowfully, "but I feel as If some one in
the family had died '"
Then l.orna tried to forget all about
Ginger. But one day she overheard that the
lieutenant who had bought Ginger was
"young Kloy.d Warner down Kasex way,"
and that he and his company were at Ben
sonvllle, Tex. I.,orna Immediately wrote to
Lieutenant Warner,
She told him of how she valued Ginger

I said, "I hope she does. Because a peron

She said. "Yes." and took some out of th
oven and they were brown on top and
smelley till I couldn't hold my nose still.
.She buttered one and 1 ate It, and before
who stopped I had eaten nine, and she said
"I am going to wrap up a panful In a towel

"Yes, ma'am," and J said, "I need a spankin'

and I'd rather some one 1 love gaxc It to

She said. "What put such an Idea Into

Smurt sports suit of biscuit crepe
ile chine.
TUP; person who said "Well begun Is
half done" was nil vriung This was
tho emphatic statement of Drew Fielding
when 1 appeared in answer lo her note de
livered b.v her small brother. She pro
reeded lo unfold her tale nf woe
"I stinted this spoil diess day before
.vestetdav II went along Mvhnmtngly up
to a cetlaln point. Then ever.vthlng seemed
tn go wiong. I ve tiled my level best tn
discover Just what the trouble Is. but
every time I It y to Improve on the lines of
tho skill or the lit of the blouse 1 make
them look worse I thought that tua.vbe you
could help me out of my dressmaking
troubles, that's wh.v I bothered you"
Drew spread before me what appeared to
be a stunning sport fiock made of oyster .
white crepe de chine. The material was of i
the heaviest qiialll.v. and It was light up-to
thc-mlnule as far as style was concerned
Then she slipped the fiock on. and I dis
covered the cause of the trouble. Drew did
not understand the "tricks of the trade" ln
making a plaited skltt The plaits bung
crooked and wete nf at least three different
widths
I bellied her tip the skill apart, and after
the crepe ile chine was piesseu smooiii again
I tinster ejih plait as stialghl as a stilng
and made the distances between them ex
actly equal.
I gave l)i ew the valuable Information'
Unit a. niofessional tailor Is the only petsou
who knows how to press plaits In so that J
thev will "stay put" While she took the
skirt to the tailor's I examined the bodice
tn see what had to be done to make It,
weaiable.
The sleeves weie sewed In wiong. of
couise. The underarm seam was an Inch
too far tow.ud the fiont I lipped them
out and adjusted them piopeily.
Drew's original Intention was to wear a
sash girdle with the coat blouse, but I made
a plain old-fashioned belt and stitched It
about the normal waistline to confine thp
fullness I made sure when sewing the
belt in place that It gave the fashionable
large-vvalsted pffect. '
I also found that Drew Is not a good
"sewer-In" of hems The hem at the lower
edge of the blouse was very dreadful look
lug, and had to be tipped out and done
over.
Hy the time I had corrected these blouse
mistakes Drew was back with the skirt. It
was pet feet. She coufd hardly believe that
it was the same skirt that had "turned
out all wrong."
We made a chemisette and a deep sailor
collar of white crepe (ieorgette, and em
hroldeied them In white and silver. This
touch of trimming was so effective that
Diew added two patch pockets and cuffs
wllh embroldeicd bordeis
A row of satin-covered, bullet buttons ex
tends fiom the base nf the chemisette to
the hem of the blouse, and straps of satin
tied In perky llttlo bows, ornament the
waistbands.
When the last wrinkle was Ironed out of
the blouse we surveyed the sport dress with
forgivable pride. It was "without a flaw."
"Thanks, a whole lot of times, for helping
me out of my troubles, llobln. I'll do you
a good turn some day for It," Drew said,
when I was ready to start home. ""But,"
she continued, "I haven't changed my opin
ion one bit about the person who said, 'Well
begun Is half done.' " ,

MUTTON AND WOOL
VALUABLE TO ARMY
Raising of Sheep Strongly Advocated
by Expert in Textiles
It Is not only essential to 'prepare for
war, but a sound economic policy for all
times, that every effort be made to utilize
the vast areas of grazing laud In this
country for the production of sheep lo pro
vide wool for clothing our soldiers, and
also to provide a kind of meat that is most
cleanly food nnd cheaper than beef in
the present crisis and tho necessity to
provide for Immediate needs, a point to
consider Is that sheep mature In one year,
and that It takes much longer to prepare
a beef nnlmal for the maiket. This countiy
Is now dependent upon Kngland fdr wool,
the Kngllsh controlling the bulk of the
world's supply. Sheep raising covers two
vital factors in any scheme of preparedness
so long as an army flghta on Its stomach
and must have plenty of warm clothing,

oil and the neck Is massaged gently with
both hands. As the' oil Is absorbed by the

It Is well to remember that to build up

bring about good results.

The ilch pink complexion of the Japanese
woman that recalls the cherry blossoms of
her sunny land Is due to the cleansing
and nourishing oils that are dally applied
to the skin and the hot face bath. She.
rubs her fcc with a pure skin food or cold
cream, then removes the superfluous grease'
with a soft towel. After this hot cloths"
wrung from steaming hot water are applied
to the skin until they no longer feel hot.
When the steaming cloths have been sp.
piled for ten minutes the pores should he
thoroughly cleansed of all waste matter.
The face Is then doused with cold water for
above five minutes. -This serves to harden
the flesh and close the pores again.
If vour complexion Is too pale this steam
ing and cold water bath w'lll cause It to
glow with K healthy color.
After the hot face hath the Japanese
beauty applies the following astringent lo
tion to her skin:
Almond milk (thick) 1j ounces
Alum (powdered) To Rralna

the wave Is more or less essential to the

The women of the Orient are noted for
the glossy sheen of their tresses. This Is

ENGLANDER STORE
HAS BIG OPENING
Everything Milady May Desire
on View in Handsomely Ap
pointed Building
Flowers, palms and wondering onlookers
were the featutes of .the opening of the
Knglander Store, the new seven-story
women's specialty shop that opened Its
doors to the public for the first time today.
The Knglander Stote Is a result of the
amalgamated partnership of Lewis Kng
lander and Samuel and Max Epstein. It Is
furnished throughout In mahogany casings
and Ivory, and Is equipped entitely with
indirect ilghtlng.
A survey of the opening predicts that the
policy of 'the management, which an
nounces Itself as aiming to prove up-to-the-minute
durability consistent with popular
pikes has been lealized. The accomplish
ment of this striking of the average In pries
and the supreme. In value Is due. according
to Max Epstein, to the efficiency of the buy
ing organization, which is represented ln
Em ope, Japan and virtually In every ac
cesslble country iv the world.
An "Economy Basement Store" Is well
worthy of noting. A color scheme of dove
gtay has been carefully carried out. and the
racks and, cases of tU unusual room are
well stocked with a. hat women could
desire. The basement ,i 'e Is In every way
a replica of the mate store upstairs with
the exception that the stock Is to be pur
chased at a lower price.
The millinery department which occupies
the entire third floor, boasts of twelve little
private mahagany booths where milady may
sit to her heait's content unobserved and try
on all the things created for, her that line
the well-lighted cases. Little ten-year-olds
and their more or less mature sisters are
not forgotten, either.
The Knglander management does not In
tend to let the memory of Its opening day
fade from the mind of the public. It is per
petuated In the .shape of dainty llttlo pow
der cases and fresh flowers given to visitors
as souvenirs.
