Taking Wine in Cafca?

they alwava ihow mi i. enoil lima. S'nw
that 1 am twenty-five do ou think It would
t all right for ntn lo take wine In th.
cafea when I am with them? IlOltA.
There Is ccrtulnlv no harm In onu
glass of wine, but it Is not good form j
and most unwise for a girl to drink wine
In a cafe when alone with a inan'or men '
and unchaperoned. It. fact, drinking Is ,
not becoming to girls at any time. Willi
the least reason in the world, the very i
fact that a girl Is seen drlnsJnc in nublli-1
often gives her the reputation nf being
fast, and the game Is certainly Pot worth I
the- fame. It should not be considered by
a young unmarried girl, '

LVnit was' thv bcope
of Mxatiumil

the chances for even untrained women

The advice of authorities on women In

I clency today. Tho war has brought

Hanks are opening their doors to
women iet; and nlilies and i-ommer-cl.il
houses rrqulic women in their Ming
divisions for statistical work, the oper
ation of tabulating machines and secre
tarial w-oik. The railroad olllces In Phll.i.
clclphla and throughout the country cm
ploy women now as ticket ugents. freight
Ictks and In other clerical posltlcns
formerly llikd by men. In many cities',
notably this, one, tho demand for tile.
Phone opeiutors Is larger than the sup
ply. For tlto woman In the country tho
farm offers an opportunity for service.
Women in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
nr.d New York last summer demonstrated
their ability to perform mutually profita
ble work In the market gardens, or-
liards and even In the grain llelds. At
the beginning of 'Jie season the farm
ers treated with-skepticism feminine of
frs of service, but b. fore its close the
woman had become a valuable agricul
tural asset In tho farming section of
thoo States.
For the city woman whose phslcal
ability is her chief resource In bread-1
winning, the factories offer many
lions, although again It Is tho trained
woman who Is in demand In textile, and
munition factories and other' centers of
labor. Many railroads are employing
women in freight yards for tho lighter
kinds of work. They also arc- In demand
as car cleaners, in which latter servlco
they have proved themselves more satis.
factory than the men they have sup-
planted. Tin- policewoman also Is ap
pearing, while Philadelphia is getting
more and more acquainted with tho
i female delivery wagon driver.
SflMi: OTIIIIU STATISTICS
Statistics from Detroit show that with
in recent months the Increase In woman
service In factories and workshops is
almost three times greater than that of
men.
In reply to the question: "What can

Civilian relief for families whose men

TJie soldiers returning from battle will
shortly offer an extensive field for relief

Thousands of crippled men must he re

lay workers can do much for the physi

Urayflsl-, vvhlch used to be called dog
dalmon and throw n away. Is now sold
fresh, canned and kippered. It has not
come Into universal favor because It
has little flavor of Its own. but It is so
cheap and so nutritious that it Is worth
while to concoct the sauces and dress
ings that make It delicious. Mrs. Lllia.
betta C. Pcnnell, of the home economic
department of tho University of Wash

thincs u say about It that are ueful to
know;
",ti preparation of the fresh and
caniKil flh n little onion Juice, chopped
parsley and lemon Juice arc important.
Fresh grayflth, to he really good, should
stand In u dressing made of vinegar,
salt, pepper, onion Juice and spices, such
as cloves and bay leaves. It may then
be baked with tomato sauce and stulllng.
It should always be skinned before cook
ing. When steamed, boiled or baked It
needs a tj.rt sauce"
Asbestos as Iron Rest

I It call bo used in a .lumber of w.-ivs In

With u quarter of a yard, cover the

matter when Ironing to puh tho Iron

This Is a helpful addition to the Iron

or not, since there are often times In

tive (umrmttep of that 'ouncil m each State, thus tying together the organic
zatlon of the Council of National Defense and the Liberty Loan Committee. .
In states whose territory W divided by two or more Federal Reserve
districts, vice chairmen may be appointed. These women are under the 3tat
chairmen and report to them. This Is best illustrated by describing our own
district, which Is that of the Third Federal lleserve, with Its reserve bank
located In Philadelphia. The State chairman of Pennsylvania, Mrs. John O
M,Uer' whU' llvl "' the rourt"
Cleveland, has supervision of State
und women's Liberty Loan committees
arate organizations, the great difference
I with the State as the unit, whereas the
n theirs.
Mrs. J. O. .Miller vice chairman for the State has not as yet been selected.
This lady, under Mrs. Miller's direction, will have charge of the territory In
the Third Federal lleserve District. .Mrs. H. Otto WIttpenn, of Newark,
N. J.. Is chairman of tho State of New Jersey, although residing In the Sec
ond Federal Heservp District, nnd has placed Miss Anne Mcllvalne, of Tren
ton. N. J., in cntiro charge of the district soutli of Trenton. A chairman will
be appointed in every county. She in turn Is responsible for the organlzalton
In i-iicli city In her county, and the chalrmun of each city and town Is ac
countable for the organization of the woman power of her community. Mrs.
Walter S. Thompson Is In charge of Philadelphia County, which county has
Its headquarters In the Lincoln nuildlng, where also is the headquarters of'
the Woman's Committee of the Third Federal Reserve District.
In this comprehensive plan organizations of women are asked to Indorse
tho work of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee at their regular meetings,
placing on their minutes wherever possible their desire to co-operate. The,
result of such action to. be. forwarded to' the woman's headquarters In the
Lincoln nuildlng. where, in turn, it will be "placed in the hands of the com-.-mlttec
in the city or State nearest to their residence and due publicity given
to their patriotic action. There Is much work to do. We need the help of
all, nnd It Is my hopo that thousands of women will respond to their coun
try's call and will write to the headquarters signifying their willingness to
assist.
The great ndvaiitagc to be derived from a well-thought-out and organ
ized plan of campaign must favorably Impress all who give this matter con- '
Mdcratlon. The raising of the loan Is of vital importance to every Individual,
and It must thereto! e be that Individual's duty to be engaged In soma

Tho moral effect of an organized army of women, ready and willing to.
