And what Is she to do It people. Just won't give parties and arrango benefits for the soldiers and tailors. and wefunded?' After all, thoso e 10 the only things wo arc ificrested In these days, Jilch remind me some one mljht wr'lo a poem on, "Where Aro the Society Leaders of Yesterday.'" How cr, tho answer would como quickly enough, for they aro all busy as tho pro crblul little bees leading handago classes and lied Coob auxiliaries und opening new ones and toeing that everything on eatth is done to encourage tho aiding of the sick and sad and wounded. It 'eems to mo- (hat tho old canters about tho vapid society women 'arc en titled to another guess these days, for there's not ono of them who is not up and doing, 'and doing finely at that, for her fellow men and women. SAYING theso few words, she pio cecded: Did you know that liretty Ajlsa MacColl, tho daughter of the Ilev Alexander MacColl and Mrs. MacColl. Is over in Scotland'.'' Well, she la, and is nursing tho sick and wounded there. ' OlrU are doing Mich worthwhile and ,' unselfish works these days.

And the women (except a handful per ls haps who aro too selfish to put them selves out .for others) are all up and doing. Etldom do we hear of them lying In bed ""late these mornings. No, , indeed, for ' there's a meeting at ,9 o'clock and another at noon and again a class at 2:30 in the afternoon, nnd when they aro not at tho clashes br meetings' they are knit ting, knitting sweaters, scarfs, socks, wristlets, everything the soldiers at tho front could wear. And their own money is given in buying comforts for the men at tho front. It's so tho world over, and American women are not behind thoso bthers who for three yeaYs have borne ihe -burden and sorrow and loss of ull that the world holds dear.

That is whatU cost to bring the first hard coal down by teams from the head of the Schuyl kill River to the Falls of Schuylkill. Mr. Joslah White and Mr. Ersklne Hazard had a rolling mill In which they were using bltumlnoni coal. They were owners of'a vast quantity of this coal in the coal region of Pennsylvania and conceived the idea that tho "black stone" could be utlllied In the mill So they spent three hundred dollars In experimenting, but without making it burn. The workmen were accustomed to seeing the soft coal blazo up the moment It was thrown on the fire, and because the anthracite failed to do likewise, they scratched nnd poked without success. A man Is like a boy In wanting to baig things when he In exasperated beyond measure. So, bang went a lot of bjack stones into the furnace, and bang went the furnace door, and bang went tho milt doors, The work men went home for dinner. Later, ono re membered that he had left his coat In the mill and returned to get It. Imagine his surprise in finding such a tremendous fire that the doors of tho furnaco were red hotl It wob an Important discovery, and Joslah White began at onco experimenting on a sultablo grato to be used In burning anthra cite coal for household use. Then thero came tho problem of trans portation. Tho river waa explored from the Falls to the coal region. At the latter placo they made arks, loaded them with coal and sent them down with the freshets. This plan was abandoned when Mr White originated and started the Schuylkill Navi gation Company, which was chartered on March S. 1815 Thero was some politics In business In those days, too, for, notwith standing Mr White's beneficial efforts for humanity, he was not elected ono of the managers of the concern Later he wob Instrumental In bringing about the Lehigh Navigation Company Just think, White, Hazard und Hauto procured a lease for twenty-one years on all the coal lands In the Mclnlty of Mauch Chunk, for whloh Xliey ngrecd to pay annually, If demanded, a rent of ono ear of corn, and obligated FASHION'S ATTRACTIVE SHOW AT 611 Display of Women's Gowns and Accessories Presents Wide Range of Choice With the end of September comes the beginning of the winter season, and with It the necessity for new. good-looking clothes. It Is bewildering to choose them from trie displays In the storo windows, but after a visit to Glmbels' Fashion Show nny woman ought to be nblo to mako a choice. Skirts have followed the trend of the times and are economically narrower. Every skirt In the fashion show was nar rower, although the Idea of fullness was carried out with accordion plaits In serge and drapes In the softer materials. The coats aro full length, with the usual huge pockets of ull shapes and voluminous col lars, others of fur or fur trimmed. , There was one coat of brick red, made with a large sailor collar ending In two long, looso points in front; fasten the col lar VP over your head, throw tho ends around your neck and, behold, a hood and mufTler' The materials most used are wool velours and pon-pon. which Is on the order of Bolivia cloth. Silver tones running through a plain color are popular, and the furs are going to be seal. Kolinsky and beaver. The lines of the evening dress are essen tially long and slender. One black one was of sequins, with a girdle of robin's egg-blue satin brocaded In gold. All tho girdles are low. There was n charming dinner gown of black chiffon, silt up both sides to show a white satin skirt. The long line was given by a straight panel down the back, while In front tho tunic came to a point and was edged with fur. An attractive dress whleh also had the popular side silt was of black velvet, showing a white brocaded skirt underneath. The bodice was opened across tho front to show tho white brocade.
