PV nilll!flrv war hnard has the courage
fftUj to call the Easter bonnet a nonesscn-
THERE are several wajs of think
ing over thli matter of on Easter
bonnet. I know a woman who lias
, Just bought hers It Is a Tonkinee
blue with some floppy pink roses. She
,, rally had a very good reason. She
r wanted to help make life bright for
the soldiers when on furlough. The
morale or the psychology or some
thing of the thing was terrific, she
said.
But the fuhny thins about It was
the length of time it took her to
buy the hat. Ask any salesgirl who
showed her one. Thero, was nothing
conservable on any of the hats she
looked at, Hko wheat or coil, but sho
Just went from one fit of hesitation to
another. Then one fine day she v nt
down town and brought homo the
Tonklnese blue oneA It was then she
told us how It was only right that
women should have pretty hats for the
ta.ke of the soldiers who were so used
to Only seeing khaki. This reason. It
seems, had been floating around.in her
head all tho time. But the minute
she put on the Tonklnesci hat with tho
pink roses sho knew It would be almost
wrong not to buy It for the sake of
the soldiers who would tome home
from camp and could look at It. Really,
we began to'fecl ashamed of ourselves
for not owning hats with pink roses
on them,
ARE women really buying Easter
-. bonnets for the sake of the sol
diers who can como home and look at
them? Ma be some of them are, but,
r bless your heart, almost every one who
has a soldier knows by this tlmo that
he is so happy to get home ho doesn't
know whether he's looking at a hat or
a dustpan.
Does this mean that the Easter
bonnet is nonessential? It does not.
My friend who bought tho Tonklnese
hat had a very good reason for doing
to. But it wasn't the kind of reason
, she thought It was.
Women want pretty clothes, not be
cause tho soldiers need them to look

Dear Madam -What ts the easiest way
In waahlna a bluo slip-over sweater trimmed
with array Ansora so that It will not ahrlnk
or fade? I'lease answer before March 18.
Thanking you In advance,
EDITH AND KTIIEf,.
Wash the sweater In a lukewarm
suda of pure white soap. Be sure not to
rub soap on the sweater, but merely
plunge It up and down In the suds until
rlean. Do not rub, as this stretches.
Itlnse In clear, lukewarm water and then
press the water out. Do not wring or
twist, as this also stretches the sweater.
To dry, If It is a clear day with good
wind, put In the bottom of a pillow slip
and let hang on the line out of the sun.
Simply let the sweater lie limp. If it Is
a bad day, stretch an old sheet on the
floor and let tbe sweater He on this. Do
not stretch Into spape or put near heater.

tn cjkpect that this second lino of de
feno thall glvo as devoted and lojal
service at the home fires as they expect
of th bojs at tlio front.
Alvwiss there Is the homo flro of cheer
ful, normal family llfo to keep burning.
In spite of heart aches and breathless
watching Amid the tears nnd prajer
of mothers and wives the flro on the
family hearth must cracklo cheerily
on, nnd the Utters from homo reflect Its
glow Into the darkest hours tint men
can faco under the flag that flies in tho
American sector In France
And then there is the newly kindled
homo flro of emirgency war service.
Tho women's committee of the Council
of National DefcSise has organized work
for every woman from one end of the
country to tho other who will lino up
behind the American army and work
Under its organizing direction every
woman has n placo nnd a part to 'play
In tending tho homo fires of service and
fanning thtm Into a white heat of sac
rifice. Somewhere In Philadelphia there are
today sick and diseased and neglected
little children, the citizens of tomorrow,
for citizenship Somen hero In Philadel
phia there nro numbers of. men and
women broken and useless through
many causes who can bo nnd must be
rebuilt Into decent members of society,
and joung people who aro traveling the
long trail to moral death who can be
and must be reclaimed before it Is too
late. More than moro poor, ignorant,
diseased woman has been educated to
know that her only hopo of bringing
healthy children Into the world Is by
getting tho help and service of the
maternity hospitals, and the register
of all of them aro full. This work Is
too valuable to bo stopped for lack of
sufllclent funds, and as time goes on
and doctors go to tho front and nurses
are called away, they will become In
dispensable ns community medical cen
ters and they can't be spared They
must go on, and it is a patriotic duty
second to no other for the public, to
give generously toward the unprecedent
ed Increase In every part of hospital
maintenance. It Is not good business
nor good morals nor efficient patriotism
to neglect our home charities.
Let us rally together and kindle anew
the waning ashy fires of these home
charities and place them side by side
with those others which we mean to
keep burning ' till the boys come home."

RUSSIA REVEALED
BY THE MAD MONK
Iliodor'a Confessions One of
tho Most Illuminating Books
That Have Appeared
Among all tho books written about
Ilussla thero Is none more Illuminating
than the life, confessions and memoirs
of Sergei Mlchallovlch Trufanoff, bet
ter known as tho mad monk Illodor.
This monk and Rasputin were at one
time Intimately connected and Itasputln
was Influential In securing the promo
tion of Illodor A break between tho
two came, according to Illodor's ac
count, when he discovered the vlclous
ness of tho life of Itasputln
Illodor writes of tho superstition of
all Russian classes, from the Czar down
to tho peasants, but he does not give
It this name He calls them very re
ligious, but he gives Instance nfter In
stance of the faith of the rojal family
In the miracle-working power of Ras
putin nnd the confidence of the peasants
In tho ability of "saints" such as Ras
putin, to do wonders Ho tells of one
monk, who read "If thine right ejo of
fend thee, pluck It out." and then, after
a few moments' thought, took his lighted
candle nnd blinded himself with the
flame. Illodor himself at one tlmo lived
for three months without sleep, In fast
ing and prajcr, In order to Increase his
perception of spiritual things. lie sajs
that he saw visions nnd heard voices
and wis In continual conflict with the
devil. Itasputln himself lived for six
months without touching his hinds to
his flesh, and In order to accomplish
this he had to go without Inthlng or
washing of any kind. Illodor gives the
reader the Impression that these prac
tices nre common among the Russians
The people expect them from their
priests and monks
This sort of thing was once common
In all Kurope, but that was centuries
ago Russia seems to be Intellectually

'Trueheart Margerj Is an unaffected

Its tragic lesson of the world's pit
falls. The characters are well defined
and true. Mrs. Carson has placed True
heart Margery, a most winsome, appeal
ing character, on the romantic end of a
story drawn In vital nnd intimate par
allel. Tho arrogant, Iron-willed selfish
ness of Richard Craven brings nbout tho
destruction of his own household and Is
only melted by tho sweet Influence of
tho daughter of tho third generation
Trvlng to find balm for his Intense grief
over tho loss of his joung wife nt child

to find his daughter Jean the Image of

vearsj drifting back to "Tlmbervale," he
learns of Jean's death, hut her daughter,
Trueheart Margery, finds him ns he
pleeps at noonday in the woods nearby.
Trueheart finally marries Gerry Gordon,
wnom Craven had expected would marry
Jean.
Miv. Carson almost convinces us that
ago has no placo in a true lovo affair,
although tho man may be twice as old as
tho woman, so entirely happy and
wholesomo Is this last match, but Hho
makes the mistake of making tho youth
of tho girl-bride too manifest in Gerry's
treatment of her on the wedding day.
The reading public Is sure to look for
ward with most friendly interest for
Mrs. Carson's next book.
