E'Ono or tho returned soldiers, asKca wnai Si- ' tin linil found most trvlnir In nil his war over "Walt- i Jnej standing In the trenches waiting for the command. Actual privation Is some- ft, ' thing one can tackle; tho charge, the , fight nre thrilling, exhilarating; but the , waiting! It Is then that you feel fear f i creeping up from yrfur very toes to grip "i your heart; It Is then that you realize What you aro .about to face." It Is not illfllcult to sco the truth of Ihls under those circumstances, but even when wo are under no particular Strain there nro few things moro exuspcrating to a pormal, healthy Individual than wait ing, though it may only bo for a train or the lata comer at an appointment. Mahomet declared that "Patlenco Is tho key to contentment"; tho old proverb says, "All things como to him who will but wait"; and ono of the most encouraging and Inspiring quotations over mado Is, "Never think that God's delays nro God's dentals; hold on; hold fast; hold out." TMFATIENCB Is a futile thing. It ex-J-hausts, wears out tho energy and really Ktta nowhere. Tho woman who Is alwnys fretting and fussing over trifles Invariably "goes to pieces" In tho hour of trial Just because she has never acquired the habit of waiting; while the gentle, strong, en during character which will never allow Itself to worry, but Instead waits patiently until the right moment for ac tion, has a reserve of power which makes her a veritable "tower of strength" to thoso of her household. Nature Is never In a hurry; a grain of Wheat lies dormant for long weeks beforo It breaks Into life, and oven then there are months of slow development before we Vyvettes Hat, come out from under that bowl can gather In the harvest. Nothing worth wlillo ever sprang up over night. THIS lesson of patient cheerful waiting is going to bo very forcibly Impressed on uh during tho war. Tho women of Europe havo already learned It and have bravely held on from day to day, waiting In ngony for news of thoso they lovo, waiting in suspense and fear, waiting In privation and toll, but waiting strongly, because they realize that Impatience weakens their powers of work and their ability to be really helpful. There is no reason to doubt that we, too, must faco the tamo trials or to fear that wo will bo less admirable, but it Is well for us to acqulro the habit In little things now, so that when tho need arises we, too, can go up and "stand beneath the cross" Just as bravely as tho women who have gono before us from tho beginning of history. I'atlenco Is sometimes found in women, though the old adago says it Is "seldom," but then we can pat ourselves on the back, for "It Is NEVER in a man"I THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE iwr Z,ettrr tttttl iittfrttt mtthmlttnl tn tht Ant,,.- . . . ... . . the paper onlv nnd .ioned with The r,nm t iK .i" 'Mi.

Shorter in Length and Scantier in Fullness Is Word Cabled at 'Steen Dollars Per Word Can They Be Shorter? THE thing was discussed along Chestnut, Walnut and Market streets by men w bote nut and Market streets by men whoso faces whitened under their Atlantic City rouge as the dreadful Import of tho news sank Into tho dizzily whirling old beans. "Would they or would they not? The general, deliberate opinion, however, at the end of a perfectly nerve-racking day was that they would. Tho women, that Is. Tt was said that, taking one thing with an other, tho women could be depended on to do the sporting thing. It Is true that home of the men who had most at stake tho married, to he explicit went oer to the ranks of tho Conscientious Objectors without a struggle. They held bitterly to the opinion that there Is a limit. They contended nil the authorities main tain that the perfect distance from the hip to the knee Is twenty-two Inches and the dlstanco from tho knee to the heel is nlso twenty-two inches. Take oft another yard of cloth, they ask shudderingly, and what d'je havo left? All right, the Chestnut Street Slackers' Iteservo Corps came back tit them, what do jou havo left? PLACi: AUX DAMKS! So there you arc. Tho question goes flatly up to tho women, nnd tho men folks shouldn't hae horned In on It In tho first place. Paris, of course. Is responsible. France, It seems, finds It necessary to restrict the consumption of woolen goods. Therefore, tho Dressmakers' Syndicate, now meeting In Paris, has Issued tho decreo that skirts nro to bo reduced during tho coming season both In fullness and In length. THE CHEERFUL CHERUB IS TKe thunder nYfc.Ues me. Feel so sm-cxrt For Im -a. Futurist you .see. It sounds just loud to other Folks Pot tdvfc.y.s sounds dtvrk Llue. to me. nrwi dSl Millions of yards of cloth will bo saed In this way. the master modistes calculate. Thero Isn't a bit of use to grouse about It. The decree-has been Issued, and that's all thero Is to It. The news camo by cablo yesterday, nnd, with cable tolls what they are. It's an awful certitude that tho news Is only too true. Philadelphia dressmakers and ladles' tailors aro Inclined to glvo a brace of rousing pooh-poohs at the Idea that Paris can put anything oxer on American fash Ions at this late date. They hold that tho American woman has set her own styles since the beginning of tho war and will continue to do so. So much for fashion. Hut when you como to tho question of patriotism, there's bomcthlng eli-o again. Paris has been using flvo nnd one-half yards of goods with which to make a skirt, and now proposes to get along on four and one-half yards. Is such patriotism to bo tho exclusive property of Paris? Nev-ver! This dauntless assertion was what set young male hearts bounding along tho city's bhopplug thoroughfares yesterday. They aro wearing 'em virtually up to tho knee now. It was whispered eagerly, and if an other yard goes oft August has been delightfully cool, hasn't It? "Vou can't always depend on early re ports from tho Dressmakers' Syndicate in Paris," said P. J. Walsh, an authority on such subjects. "And, anyway, tho Ameri can woman adopts fashions to suit herself. If they are going to use only four and a half yards of goods for a skirt over there, they'll havo nothing on tho American styles. Wo used only that ,much last year. Tho autumn and winter styles we will Bhow aro mado up with three and one-half yards. There was a time when soven and one-half yards were used for a suit, but not now, five yards were enough last year. HOOVERIZING PETTICOATS "Hut as for the length, hklrts will be a little longer. If anything. They couldn't be much shorter, could they?" Among the moro thoughtful element, vari ous replies were mado to this question. Philadelphia department store buyers were equally reticent. At one, however, tho opinion was freely expressed that skirts material would bo scanty to a degree. Only from two and one-half yards to three yards of material would be used for a single skirt, entering no exemption claims. It was said. In contradistinction from the bklrt of last season, known as the "barrel skirt," in which the lines widened noticeably along tho eastern and western salients and then converged under a heavy barrage, the next big drive would bo carried on without any tlaro between hip and hem, tho goods dropping austerely from the hips to a point considerably north of the pavement. So, all considered, It seems probable that a considerable portfon of the 190,000,000 worth of woolen or worsted used annually 'W3frftSVSffyS'ftf I !

Students of social economics tald yesterday that It would bo manifestly unfair to characterize as Immodest any chicken, frail doll or dame who may be seen next season in a skirt which looks as though It had been mado out of a knitted wristlet. She will probably only be doing her bit In conserving the nation's resources, said they. Sporting writers therefore held to the opinion that when It Is put up to tho women of Philadelphia frankly and freely, without holding back a bally thing; when. In other words, the cholco is laid beforo them with out the sllghteht shadow of 111-advlscd reticence; or when, In short, when tho word goes forth from the dressmaking chaps up at tho to;) that Pitiless Publicity Is the only way In which to save the nation; why, then it la a ridiculously safo bet that the ladles, bless 'em, will rally 'round like a flash.

Tho wrong way Is to live carelessly, tak ing no thought for consequonces, eating or drinking whatever fancy dictates or con venience suggests and following every va grant Impulse. The right way is to study the laws of health as revealed by scientific research nnd to find and follow tho biologic or scientific way. After a careful study of the subject for many years the writer has ventured to formulate the following slmplo health ax ioms as embodying the principles essential for a long, vigorous and efficient life: Health Axiom No. 1 Live out of doors as much as possible day and night. Health Axiom No. 2 Eat biologically that la, follow the diet of the gorilla and tho chimpanzee and other animals nearest to man In their structure. Health Axiom No. 3 Evacuate the wastes of the body three times a day. Health Axiom No. 4 Walk ten miles a day or do work equivalent. Health Axiom No. 6 Keep the chest up In sitting, standing, walking and working. Health Axiom No. 6 Sleep eight hours and recreate sensibly. Health Axiom No. 7 Keep the skin clean and active. Health Axiom No. 8 Avoid poisons. Health Axiom No. 9 Avoid Infections. Health Axiom No. 10 Don't worry and keep sweet. Said the old Hebrew prophet, "Cease to do evil and learn to do well."
