OPEN YOUR EYES AND HEART
TO MEANING OF LIBERTY LOAN
Special Effort Is Being Made to Interest Women
in Government Bonds Lack of Realiza
tion Prevents Wholesale Investing
T)ERHAP3 It Is because we boo the
,. treet cars runnlnc because we got
up In the mornlnc and cat our breakfast
Just the same ns we did a year ago, that
We all of us who ore women do not
buy Liberty Bonds.
Because the sky docs not fall through
when something tremendous and al-nosi
unbelievable is taking placo wo cannot
get It through our heads that the thing
really Is tremendous at all. Tho sun lists
and sets as per usual, the winter suits are
hanging in the store windows and Mar
tha's spelling still must be heard t-ach
night.
SURELY If we realized that you and
I, who go about our ecryday tlutlc3
as usual, are at these very moments part
and parcel of days so decisive that thoy
outshadow most of the other decisive
periods In history, we would not sit back
with our dollars. Surely if we realized
how dependent these mighty days are on
bullets, food and care for our men, we
would not tie our bit In a stocking: and
refuse to loan the Government the money
to buy these things
THERE Is patriotism in women. Those
who have awakened to the size of this
International period are making taerl
flcea to buy Liberty Donds.
There Is tenderness in women. Those
Who have opened their eyes and hearts
to the picture of American boys going
hungry because the people of America
refused, when they had the opportunity
through the Liberty Loan, to buy food
for. them, have opened their pocketbooks
and bought Liberty Bonds.
Vyvettes
?
A bow in front and a bow in back
and there you are!
A SPECIAL effort is being mads In every
city in the nation to reach the women.
There is no red tape about investing your
money In a Liberty Bond. In Philadel
phia thire Is a little "Treasury" built in
the front of the Union League Club
where women may go and talk to women,
who will explain to them Just how It Is
that a bond may be purchased on the
easy Installment plan.
It doesn't cost anything to Just peek In
and hear of the way ou can put on
khaki in spirit and help America carve
the way to Berlin! Try it.

Wedding Breakfast
To the Editor ot Woman's Page:
Dear Madam Will you kindly publish a
tnanu for a weddlnc breakfast not too elaborate
and will ou do so as soon as possible'
(Mrs ) A. K
You will find It easiest to have a buffet
breakfast: that is, do not seat your guests,
but have the table set with pink or white
flowers in the center and piles of plates,
forks and napkins on the sideboard and
where there may be space on the table. At
either end of the table have dishes of
chicken salad and at either side flat dishes
of lobster or oyster cutlets. Buy some large
rasped rolls from a French baker, allowing
one to three or four persons, and cut them
as you would a loaf of bread In slices
about a half inch thick It Is well to ha
two or three waiters to serve, and at a
buffet supper or breakfast the men guests
usually assist in serving the women A cut
let, chicken salad and a piece of roll should
be placed on each plate Ice cream and
cakes should next be served, and it Is well
to have several bonbon dishes of candles
and salted nuts on the table.
If you want anything In a liquid form a
claret or sauterne punch Is apt to be least
expensive and is very delicious weakened
in water and served In a large bowl with
cut oranges, pineapple, maraschino cherries
and a bit of mint.
This should be aplenty elaborate enough
breakfast, and If too much it would be quite
all right to have various kinds of sand
wiches (chicken and lettuce, crushed olhe.
cheese and pimento, nut and cream cheese),
ice cream and cake and a fruit punch.
Cold Pack Canning
To the Editor of Woman's Page:
Dar Mtdim Can you pleaae print the cold
rack method of canning peaches whoter
(Mrs.) N.
Scald good, sound peaches, a few at a
time, in boiling water Just long enough to
loosen their skins, then dip them In cold
water and quickly slip off the skins. Have
ready a sirup made by boiling sugar and
water together till the sugar has dissolved,
using one-half to three-quarters of a cupful
ot sugar to each cupful of water. Allow
about one cupful of water to each quart
jar of peaches. Put In one cracked peach
pit for every quart of sirup.
Pack the peaches In overlapping layers
with the rounded side uppermost and the
blossom end facing the glass. Fill each
Jar with hot syrup and adjust the rubber,
the cover and the upper clamp, thus partly
sealing the Jar. Place the Jar on a rack In
a hot-water bath which covers It to a depth
ot one Inch. Bring the water to the boil
ing point and boll pint Jars for sixteen min
utes and quarts for twenty minutes. Re
move the Jars, seal them and invert them
to cool.
To Clean LambVWool Baby Cover
To the Editor ot Woman's Page:
Sear Madam Kindly publlah beat method of
cleaning lamb's-wool baby carriage cover. Would
you advlsa washing or dry-cleaning method, and
If latter bow should It bo doner
out or TOWN.
A lamb's-wool baby carriage cover can be
successfully dry-cleaned at home with
ordinary white flour Take an old sheet and
spread the coach cover out flat on it
Sprinkle flour very thickly all over it. Then
rub every part thoroughly, piece by piece,
between the hands, using the dry flour as a
sort of soap that must be scrubbed into It
A little patience la required to thoroughly
clean every part of the robe, but the nice
white sllklnesa that comes as a result proves
the trouble worth while. Shake welt and
avang (n the air before using.

This balances the lines of her profile.

What should a. girl say when she ts Intro

A complexion bleach that takes oft tan
is one made of a tablespoonful of horse
radish stirred into a cupful of sour milk
and left stand twelve hours. This should
then be strained and faithfully applied each
night Be careful not to get the hot mix
ture near your eyes
Buttermilk alone rubbed on the skin Is
an excellent bleach and can perhaps be
usea more irequenuy tnan tne horseradish
bleach. Lemon Juice, too, applied by Just
rubbing the cut lemon on tho akin Is well
recommended The big thing to do Is to
keep on applying any of these remedies
until you get results.
Do not say any set thing when being In
troduced to any one If It seems natural
and It doesn't embarrass you to say, "I'm
glad to know you," say It, but otherwise
Just smile pleasantly and say, "How do
you do?" If you are left standing with
the stranger, talk about anything that sug
gests itself.

It ts a bit difficult to make a crettv aift
of cotton, but cretonnes could come under

of cretonne I Lovely knitting bags, laundry
bags, fancy cracker boxes, trays with plate
glass over the cretonne and edged with
mahogany, or a workbag filled with all
kinds of cotton for sewing, embroidering
and darting and other finishings. None ot
these things would be very expensive and
yet any one, would be useful and pretty.

PATSY KILDARE
THE OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
IN THE MOMENT'S MODES
Separate Coat of Bolivia Cloth Trimmed With Nutria
Exercising Authority
IT HALVED, all day today. This morn
ing when I woke nt Mr. ltockrudder's I
hopped out of bed nnd examined Rowdy
all over, and he was not even scratched.
Yet, look what ho did to the burglar? Then
Howdy and I went out on to the outside
upstairs porch and watched the rain come
down It rained bo hard that It was too
good to miss, so I hoped It would keep
on till I had breakfast, and It did.
Then I went upstairs to see my burglar.
The nurse said: "If you will watch here
by the bed I will-go and get my breakfast
Do not excite the patient and call mo If
he needs me " I said, "I certainly will, for
that Is what you are here for." So I sat
by the bed nnd she went away My burglar
lay with his eyes shut and finally I said,
"Open up." but he did not. I said. "An.
you going to open up or nm I going to have
to punch you one?" Then he opened bin
eyes and I said "You were not asleep nnd
you know It You are n nice one, aren't
ou?" He did not say anything, but Just
turned his face to the wall, so I said, "Look
at me." He did not. so I nald, "Look at
mo this minute." So he did. and I said,
"You are a hero, aren't you, to come to rob
n house that has nothing In It but a little
girl?"
At that be spoke for the first time. He
said: "Honest, kid. 1 did not know any
body was In the house. I was hungry."
I said. "You thought the kitchen as up
stairs, didn't you? Do you think I nm as
easy as that? Where Is your mother?" He
said, "I hae no mother" I said. "Didn't
you ever have?" For I thought mabe he
didn't, for you neer can tell. But he said,
"I had a mother once, but she Is dead."
I said: "For cat's sake, that makes It
worse. What do you suppose the other an
gels are saying to your mother now about
her boy and how do you suppose she feels
about you? It never could hae happened
If you had been Irish " He said. "I am
part Irish ' I said. "How much'" He
said. "My great-grandfather was Irish "
That certainly Is not much
Then the nurse came and gae him a
piece of glass to put In his mouth, and then
she looked at It and said. "You must have
been talking to him. for you have sent his
fever up." I said. "For cat's sake, may I
not talk to him?" She said, "Certainly not,
unless I tell you that you may" I said
"Who do you think you are? I will say
something to you pretty toon that will send
your fever up If you go to telling me what
to do. Whose burglar Is this, anyway 7
Did I catch him or did jou?" She said.
"You'd better go and play now. The
houseman Is going to kill a chicken and
hac some broth made."
So Rowdy and I went downstairs and
the houseman was Just going out to the
shed with a hatchet The chickens were
all In there to keep out of the rain and he
shut the hole first and then went In ann
picked out a fat chicken and before I knew
what he was about he held It down on a
block and gave one chop and Its head flew
off. Rowdy grabbed It and ran and the
houseman threw the chicken down on the
ground and It flopped so that I grabbed It
and then I gave the houseman a piece of
my mind.
Then It stopped kicking and was dead and
I was all bloody, so he took It Into the
kitchen and I went running In the rain
When I came In I watched the cook take out
Us glrzard and other works, and it was In
teresting. Then I went out again and
Rowdy and I went swimming
When we got back we went up to see the
burglar. The nurse said, "You drowned rat,
you are going to catch something if you do
not look out " I said, "What's It to you
and what will you bet?" She said, "I
should think your mother would turn oer
In lier grave You are a regular little sav
age and you would be a lot better for a
good spanking " I said, "Maybe you would
like to give it to me " She said. "I certainly
will if you say much " I said "Much," and
she didn't dare and the burglar smiled I
said, "What are you grinning about?" and
then he stopped I went and found some of
Alice's clothes and played lady all the rest
of the afternoon.
The burglar got the broth and Rowdy and
I got the chicken and some dumplings I
am certainly glad I unflred the cook, for If
I had not I would not hae had the dump
lings It Is still raining and I hope It will
rain all day tomorrow When It got dark
Rowdy and I went all over the house
squeezing the light the burglar dropped
and up In the attic, too, which is cobwebby
Then we came down and kneeled and folded
our paw-s and prayed . "Dear mother which
art it heaven, this has been one ot the best
days yet I don't think any other little girl
has got a burglar all her own I wish you
would send one or two more" At that
Rowdy got up and went out on the porch
When he doesn't want a thing he doesn't
want It and he is not polite about saying so.

By this timo it must bo quite patent
to ovcry woman that the reason for
tho popularity of the long separate
coat is to bo found in tho quality of
smartness which is wedded to their
practicability. To call them cover
all coats, as we once did, is to give
them a namo which fails to suggest
their attractiveness. And yet they
aro quito tho most practical of
coats; and because they aro, many
women aro wearing them. They
aro suitable for cold-weather shop
ping; they enn be pressed into serv
ice as evening wraps when tho oc
casion is of a semiformal nature;
they are readily adaptable to the
purposes of traveling wraps and
they are equally suitable for motor
ing. Today's illustration presents
one of theso coats developed from
Bolivia cloth, with cuffs and cape
collar of nutria fur. The coat skirt
is slightly gathered over tho hips
and the belt is doubly buckled.

Ignorance Is
PARTIAL knowledge is dangerous, nnd
Ignorance Is still more dangerous: or,
rather, partial knowledgo Is more dangerous
than a more complcto understanding of
facts. Children, young people, will not
grow up In Innpcent Ignorance. If. in
obedience to custom, they are not encour
aged to Inquire of their parents nbout the
mysteries of life, they will seek to satisfy
their curiosity by appealing to older or
better-Informed companions. They will eag
erly read any book which promises nny
hint on the mysterious subject nnd will
embrace every opportunity, proper or Im
propermost likely to be the latter of
obtaining the coveted Information. Knowl
edgo obtained In thU uncertain and Irreg
ular way must of necessity bo very un
reliable. Many times generally, in fact
It is of a most corruptive character, and
the clandestine manner In which It Is ob
tained is Itself corrupting and demoralizing
A child ought to bo taught to expect all
such information from his parents, and
he ought not to be disappointed.
If human beings received much of their
knowledge throush Instinct, as nnlmals do,
they might better be left to learn sexual
truths for themselves, but man gets his
knowledge largely by Instruction Young
people will get their first knowledgo of sex
ual matters mostly by Instruction from some
souice. How much better, then, to let them
obtain this knowledge from tho most nat
ural nnd most rcllablo source their pa
tents. It is impossible to designate a certain
age at which all children should recelvo
Information on sexual subjects Children
differ. A safe rule Is that a certain amount
of knowledge should be Imparted as soon
as curiosity Is manifested In this direction.

marvelous instrument will of itself pla as if

And it play's so beautifully that you can not

It is not merely a player-piano- it is ffmaster
piano!
Is it strange then that these great pianists have
declared it
Tke Most Wonderful Invention of tne Age
Not only does it play for you of itself it will also play
as a placer-piano without any pumping. And as a piano the
names of the pianos in which it may be obtained are endorsements
of the elegance of tho Duo-Art for hand playing.
And Heppe's is the only place 0here the entire line
is on exhibition. We cordially incite you to call and listen to
