la done !n the namo of warmth and com-
' fort today. Over In Franco thousands of
Tommies aro fighting armed with milady's
glove only tho gloves como by tho hun
dred to each man. They are old kid ones
manufactured Into wlndproof waistcoats.
r: WAS Miss Mary Cox, anEnRllsh
woman, Who first conceived tho Idea of
collecting old kid gloves and making of
them wlndproof waistcoats and vests for
soldiers and sailors. Thero wero persons
on th sidelines who paid It couldn't ho
t llone. But It was done. Proof posttlvn
ot this stands In Chancery lane, London,
There the Glove Waistcoat Society car
ries on its thriving and original business.
Not only have thousands of theso wind
proof garments'been turned out, hut in
tho turning hundreds of war-wrecked
women havo been given ndeqttato em
ployment. It Is by them tho vests aro
made.
ONE marvels nt tho workmanship of
ono of theso waistcoats. Tho pieces
of old gloves aro pressed (lawlessly
ansooth and nppllqued by irac'.ilno on to
a brown lineno foundation, making tho
vit entirely wlndproof. Ono garment
t'lit was shown was mado entirely of
I jcea of old long white kid gloves.
A stray thought steals In nnd makes
I'.o wonder, Does a soldier drenm? Pcr
n'ips the romance of tho thing a hun
dred whlto kid gloves put together, and
rinclrcllng him never occurs. HIm not to
meditate on number lives nnd sixes. It's
the lash of tho wind nnd tho spray of the
ea theso things wero built for, not for
dreams. Dut thero's u moon in Trance
and there's n moon on tho sea; and there
were days when a pair of long gloves
wero carried surreptitiously homo In
pockets that thero might ho nn excuse
to bring them hack tho next night. What

AT KlItST It was planned to glvo theso
.glovo vests only to tho men exposed
to extremo cold. But soon the other men
discovered them nnd began to clamor.
Tho garments weigh only from seven to
nlno ounces nnd are tnvnluttblo in the
trenches, brcnusu 'nsects do r.ot lodge In
them as much as they do In wool.
Tho demand today Is enormous. Tho
jackets sell for from slxty-Hvo cents to
$1.1:5, which money pays tho dcstltuto
women who inako them. Thero aro plenty
of workers, but tho need for the old kid is
great. Any woman or man who has old
gloves, no matter how worn, torn or
soiled; old leather belts, furnlturo covers,
etc., could not find n hotter way to uso
them than to send them to Hiss Cox, who
can bo reached at Chancery lane, Lon

The Tonsils
TUB tonsils nro lymphatic glands. Their
function Is to protect tho body against
tho groat number of microbes whlcn concci
in the mouth. They aro also connected with
tho functions which promote tho growth
and development of tho body.
Diseased tonsils aro a constant menace
to the body, proving an open door for the
entrance of harmful organisms. Tubercu
losis germs and other dlseaso-produchig bao
terla often Ilnd their way Into the body
through tho open portal provided by dis
eased tonsils. Tho tonsils harbor disease
germs, such as pneumonia, nnd diphtheria,
also tho germ of Influenza or grip. Theso
germs nro lying there ready to develop
whenever the vital rcslstanco Is lowered
by cold, exhaustion, Indigestion or any
other depressing cause. Diseased tonsils
nro often a causo of rheumatism and prob
ably other serious maladies.
Tonsils which frequently become raw or
Inflamed or which aro constantly enlargod
with pockets full of pus should bo prompt
ly removed.
The question Is often nsked, "Will not
removnl of tho tonsils chango the voice or
hpoll the singing or speaking voice?" The
operation will change tho voice. It will
Improvo It. The tonsil should not bo re
moved unless bo badly dkrancd that it has
ceased to bo of ntty value to the body
and has become a source of Injury.

Uxtcnslve cxperlenco In the trenches dur

cleanliness of the feet Is nit Important pre
disposing causa of frost bite. Molbturo and
overtight shoes arc aiso contributing rauses.
In bad cases there has been found a fungus
similar to tho mold which sometimes grows
on meat and bread.
Washing the feet with borated camphor
ated soap and keeping them warm and dry
are necessary aids to recovery. Blectrlc
heating pads have been used In tho trenches
with success.
Tho altcrnato hot and cold footbath Is
an excellent remedy for restoring tho vi
tality of tho Injured tissues. Tho hot water
should tio as hot as can bo borne, and the
cold water as cold ns can bo obtained.
Allow tho feet to remain half a mlnuto In
tho hot water and fifteen seconds In the
cold water. Altcrnato ten or twelve times.
Apply this treatment twlco dally.
The mold referred to abounds In straw
and stablo Utter, and, hence, dairymen and
those who work In stablC3 should take care
to wash tholr feet several times a week
with tho disinfecting soap above mentioned
or soma similar preparation.

To Clean Ivory Furniture
To the Editor of Woman' I'aae:
Dear Jtadam Please Inform me 1n the
Etesji.no LrnnKn which Is the best way nf clean
tnr an Ivory bedroom set. (Mrs.) M. S.
Ivory bedroom furniture can bo cleaned
with the very purest of white soap and n
little cold water. The soap is applied on a
oft, clean cloth, Just ns some creamy
cleaning polish might be applied. Very little
water is used, ns this will streak tho furni
ture. The secret of cleaning Is -to do only
. little piece at a time, drying that nnd
polishing It with a soft piece of clean
chamois before you go to the next spot.
Always be euro to "take up" the moisture as
oon as you apply the cloth to the wood.

PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

Back to Sorghum!
Colorgrams
An extremely clever whlto wool sweater
seen In an exclusive shop the other day
lays its principal claim to glory nn tin
tcoro of a knitted silk collar and cuffs that
were orange and black and light blue.
A very small little girl person with light
flaxen curls made everybody look at her
recently when she went walking In i
bright red coat. The llttlo coat was finished
with fluffy little col'ars and muff mado from
tlio good part of an old white fox scarf.
rPHKS is one of the genuine novcl-
ties of the current style season.
It is culled a slipover wrap and is
designed for motoring and sports
wear.
It is of mole color wool velour,
combined with nuvy blue knitted
wool. Thero are two pockets
underneath the slipover. The hood,
when unbuttoned, falls into a huge
sailof collar.
TODAY when Howdy nnd I rambled we
went to see Jim and Maggie, I said to
Jim, "Is Ihero any of my $'J0 left?" He'
said, "All of your money Is left. T have
had It changed Into one-dollar bills for
you."
So when he llnlstied milking the cow we
went Into the house. Maggie hud her hair
l)i curl papers and her feet In slippers and
sho did not look like very much to me.
I said, "For cat's sake, Is this tho way you
go around the house?" Sho snld, "Why, yes.
There Is no one to pen me but Jim." I snld,
"I thought you told mo you loved Jim netler
than any ono elso In tho world." She said,
"So 1 do." I said. "Is that the reason you
look sloppy for him nnd dress up when you
arc going to meet people jou uo nui i.nu
for?"
Sim looked nt me a 111111111". then sho
kissed me nnd went Into another room. I 11
bet that when she came out again she was
dressed up, but I did not wait to see, for at
soon as Jim gavo nio tho twenty new dollar
bills 1 pinned them In my dress and then
Hmvdy nnd I rambled. We kept on going
until we came to where the auto had turned
over with rtowdv and mo and the three,
men nnd the stolen turkey. While 1 was
standing thero a man came by In a wagon,
lie stopped his horses and looked at Howdy
and 1110 as If he thought ho had seen us
before. I said to him, "I was'nn my way
to seo you." He said. "Why?" I said, "lle
raiise I was with the gang that stolo your
turkey." lie said. "1 knew that as soon as
1 saw you. What wero you coming to see
1110 for?"
I unpinned the money In my dress nnd
hnnded It to him. Ho said, "(let In." So
Howdy and I got Intn the wagon and tho
mnn banded me the lines. It Is fun to drive.
Ho counted tho money nnd then handed it
hack to 1110 and took the lines In one hand
and put his other arm around nm nrd said.
"Volt arn nn hnnest little girl." So that
mado 111c happy, though 1 knew I was htnest
before he told me.
We went on until we came to his house
and then we drove Into his yard. A beau
tiful lady oamo nut nn tho porch and he
told me to go In and I did. I told the lady
all about my father and my mother In
heaven, because she was that kind of a lady.
So I stayed for dinner and tho lady railed
her hu.:band Harney and he called her
Mary. They tnld tno they had it llftle girl
about ns old lis I am. but that she Is In
heaven. After dinner the lady took me nut
on the sunny sldo of the house and showed
tno a llttlo place with u green fence around
It and said. "Hero '..i whero our little girl
Mabel Is burled."
1 said: "If Mabel Is very beautiful T sup
pose Cod wanted her." She said: "Mabel
was ery beautiful. I think Cod takes tho
most beautiful ones." Tsald: ".Vol always.
Ho has not taken me." She looked at tun
11a If sho thought t was making 11 joke, but
I wasn't. 1 said: "Dnn't you think I 11111
beautiful?" .she said: "Ves, and very sur
prising also." I ald: "If Mabel bad lived
would you let her play with jno?" She said
"Surely I would." I said: "That Is Just mv

Married Woman Advocates Kissing
To tho Editor af Woman'a raoe:
Dear Madam I have watchM with Interest
the series of letters appearinc Jn tho Ilxchan
on the kisslns problem. Let nt eay that I am
n woman of noma thirty years and most heartily
dlnaRree with those persons opnoelnir kisalnir If
youns Klrla do no moro harm thnn kiss n younc
man whom they are well acnujlnted with they
aro safe. I huvo experienced many arcumenta
on the question and always found that tho clrl'a
reputation depended lamely on the jrojslp'a 1 ver
dict, homo of theen reserved kind aro most
dancerous. I am ono of tho few happily mar.
neji women nna yet I Kisej my Intimate friends
uriuia my iiiaruHKo. jnvii-rn you may CIUCB
tlon my character, I have always been known
a a nice, jolly girl. It la things deeper than
kisslns which are dancerous. (Mrs,) M. l C.
Of course, there nro many things which
nro far more dangerous than kissing. We
have not stated otherwise. As has been
said several times In the column, perhaps
tho actual kissing In itself may not bo
wrong for some, but for others it Is
very wrong. It seems to me that those who
advocate the practice have not really given
tno matter very ueep tnougnt.
Advice About Manuscript
To the Editor of Woman' Vase:
Dear Madam As I am about to submit a
story, to a macazlne. will lou pleasa be kind
enoush to answer theso few questions: Must I
put the number of words contained In the, story
at tho top of trie pane? Also what Is the usual
lemjth of short stories tjuhmltted to maxaztnes?
Is tt necessary to havo Illustrations accompany
tho story? Do I furnish them and how? Is It
all right tn cnt out small Illustrations from the
advertisements of newspapers or pictures from
magazines which would exactly illustrate the
story! (Miss) h. M.
If the story is typewritten you need not
put tho number of words on your manu
script because it ts possible to Judge by
looking at a typewritten page the length of
the matter it contains. If it is written
longhand, however, it might be well to put
down the number, although this Is not re
quired. The length of a short story sub
mitted depends on the character of maga
zine you are, sending it to. It is well be
fore sending a story to any certain maga
zine to study the sort of fiction it la print
ing. It is t.ot safe for beginners to write
long stories. Two thousand words is an
average length, but even thin Is subject to
the demands of different publications. If
your story is pure fiction and is accepted,
the magazine furnishes the illustrations.
If, however,. It is what they call a feature
story for instance, a description of the
artists' polony In a certain city you are
familiar with the maraslns would be glad
to have pictures with the article. The plan

cultivation. One hundred and fifty gallom
was then the record production per acrr,
but It Is expected that our increased scien
tific knowledge will be able to outstrip thli
record., In Franco and Belgium just at
present the sorghum plant has been made
to push Its way through any ground where
cllmatlo conditions allowed, tl Is hoped
that tho humble plant may contribute
largely to the building up of the little Bel
gian and French children,
That Bustle Frock
Buttons are running riotously up and
down the back of the bustle frock that
has become almost as popular as It was
predicted to become. The buttons begin at
the back of the collar and proceed straight
down to tho tucked-up drapery that forms
the bustle. This Is Just a blind, of course,
Tho dress really fastens In a very conven
ient place at ono sldo of the front perhaps,
But the buttons are there just tho same,
making the frock Just as chic as you please.
