to have her porch garden a success
that she did not dare experiment with
new names or flowers she had never
seen. So In the end we decided this
way. White boxes with a tiny little
border of red and blue. Inside of
them tall white candytuft, red gera
niums and blue larkspur. These were
planted In thieo rows, a color for each
row. Wo have not seen the fruits
of our efforts in the flower boxes et
because onlv the ceranlums were
bought rrad-made. The other flowers
were planted from seed.

a Campflre Girl. Please tell me what I could
do to arn monev I can trim hats as (rood
as a milliner. I like to mind children, for
1 l0e them Will inu tell me where I orin
go to earn money? I shall be verv thankful
If you do. . HOPKFUU.
A llttln a-lrl of twelve who loves chil
dren will surely have no trouble at all
tn Uncling a way to make money alter
school closes. Almost every mother
needs a mother's helper for at least a
part of the day, and If you watch the
advertisements In the papers I am sure
you will see several for a chlldnurse or
mother's helper. This means taking a
child out for an afternoon's walk, get
ting it ready for bed or dressing it In
the afternoon, and if you love children
I know you would love thli kind of work
And the pay Is good, so that you could
quite easily make enough to go camp
ing. It would be better to try this than
the hat trimming, alhough I am sure
you must trim hats very well. If you
do not see any advertisements, why don't
you put one in yourself? It doesn't cost
much and then vou would be sure to
get an answer. I hope you will find a
nice place and make enough to have a
fine vacation with tho Campflre Girls.

everything that the civilian relief can do

What Is a Lady?

In the office where 1 work there li one
oung lady almost completely Ignored by
the others because she dresses rather old
fashioned 1 know personally that this cer
tain soung lady gives sty much of her money
at home that she rannot afford to put much
of It In clothes. Hut I doubt anvway even
If she had the money If she would spend it
on the silly gew-gaws these glrla wear.
These glrla do not laugh at the other girl,
but they po out to lunch without ever
dreaming of asking her to go with them.
They srem never to Include her In any of
the conversations of the office They aren't
openly rude to her. but I think their rude
ness Is tne worst kind of any. because it
Is the kind that hurts one's feelings My
Idea of a lady Is one who la nlwava kind to
those she cornea in contact with. I don't
mean Just outwardly kind enough to say
"Kxruse me" and "If vou please." but kind
enough to take an Interest In those who
are lonely and perhaps lesa fortunate than

Wear Summer Suit
To the Editor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam I am to be married thia
Friday. The ceremony will be performed In
church at 7 o'clock? p. m. There will be
about twenty guests at the church and at
the reception at the home of the bride. Im
mediately after the ceremony we start on
our honeymoon. We had planned to be
married In our traveling clothea Can you
please tell me If that la correct or per
missible? Also what would ba the right
cnlora of suit, shoea. tie. etc.. for the man
to wear If traveling clothes are worn
, onooM,
It Is perfectly correct to be married In
traveling clothes, and as you are plan
ning a small affair you are wise to do
so. At such an informal affair with
very few guests the bridegroom's cos
tume may consist of a summer suit of
dark blue or gray: In fact, any color
he may care to wear, so It is not too
conspicuous. There is no set costume
unless the conventional black cutaway
oat and gray trousers are worn, and
they would not do for traveling. Choose
a sack sult.-straw hat and becomng tie
and black or tan law shoes and silk
socks. A soft shirt should be worn with
THIS year, as never before, the silk
dress Is with us always, but not like
the poor relation, for It Is a very wel
come addition to the wardrobe. Some
times It is expressed In terms of satin:
again In taffeta, and stilt again In
Shantung, but In some form of silken
stuff, it is waiting for us.
Here In the sketch Is a gown of silk,
but a very different one from any that
I have heretofore shown you : not alone
Jn style, but In texture. Suffice It to
say, regarding style, that this model Is
from one of the leading makers and
therefore one may be quite sure that
It Is not "here today and gone tomor
row," but that It has been designed
with keen Insight, regarding the French
edict and American truism ; while It Is
of silk, It Is unusual, inasmuch as it Js
constructed of gray Jersey and trimmed
with slate-gray embroidery.
The fullness is added to the front of
thi waist at the shoulder In such a way
that the effect Is a shoulder yoke. The
bodice 'is held together at the front with
long ties, which aro finished at the ends
with silk tassels. The deep hip girdle is
embroidered on each side with the slate
gray. The long, full tunic Is decorated
In like manner at the lower edge. The
foundation Is narrow.
The hat worn with this frock Is of
gray georgette with an underbrlm facing
of pink. The decoration Is formed of
pink silk roses and green silk leaves.

FOR, a moment after Mrs. Modry left

staring after her. It seemed as If the
interview must have been a dream and
that If I only waited for a little while

tcrious move to change her mother into
tho gracious woman I had Imagined her
to be. I strained my ears to listen, bu
could hear no sound from within, and
then all at once the clanging of the
cable cars on the street below roused
me from meditation anent dreams and
games to grim realities tn the world of
workaday.
How- could I go back to the boarding
house, which for lack of anything
better I called "home" and, without a
Job. face my landlady? Mrs. Bordon had
aid only lest evening that she must
have the money I owed her. and even If
her circumstances were different and
sho was willing to wait Indefinitely for
wnat Delongcd to ner. a seir-respecting
girl could not continue to run deeper
and deeper Into debt when she saw no
Immediate likelihood of discharging the
obligation, nor even of paying a single
dollar on eccount
While reaching this conclusion I had
descended from the Mpdrv veranda to
the street level and, without knowing
where my feet were taking me, turned
north. I walked as far as College street,
where the clock In the belfry of the
church that stood on the corner struck
one. thus denoting that It was quarter
nast the hour. What the hour might be
I had not the least Idea, but, glancing
up at the church tower. I saw that the
hands of the clock pointed to 8:16.
Again I came to a standstill, realizing
that, since Mrs. Bordon rarely started
out to market earlier than 9. If I went
home at once I must confront her be
fore I had had time to decide on the
next step; Buch a meeting under the
circumstances was unthinkable, so turn
ing over in my mind present perplexities
and past escapes, I tried to find, while
walking with bent head down College
street, some clue to Berve me in this
latest labyrinth
President Matthews, who befriended
me when I first came to Belllngton, was
still away, and though Miss Brooks, em
ployment secretary of the Y. W. C. A.,
was probably on duty I shrank from
telling her that I had failed at the
only work which, after much effort, she
could find for tne. The Carruths Had
shown me great klndnes,. but for more
reasons than one I could not apply to
them This very morning I had mailed
to Mrs. Carruth a bread-and-butter let

"The Y. W. C. A.," Miss White writes,
accepted gladly the responsibility offered
it by tho army.
"It was easy for the telephone opera
tors assigned to Tarls to Mve at the
Hote'l Fotrograd, our Hostess House
there. Those assigned to the Interior
could be looked out for by secretaries
In certain other places. Workers were
fortunately already at the first town
chosen Bouth of Paris. For the fairly
large group, however, who were as
signed to general headquarters, some
provision had to be made. As I was
the only secretary with a permit en
abling mo to travel freely In the army
zone, I was assigned to that task.
"The town where tho general head
quarters Is Bltuated Is, of course, very
much crowded, but we were fortunate
enough to obtain a house which had
been rented and fitted out as a club
house by a group of officers Just before
they were transferred to another post.
The house had been furnished very
modestly for the most part, considering
the wealth and rank of the reserve
officers who had planned to use It, and
we could take over the furniture al
most without exception. The men had
added such things as extra bathrooms
and a central heating plant to mitigate
the horrors of army 'life in France.
We were de.lghled Jo fall .heir to these
luxuries. Sufficient equipment was
added to make It possible for three or
four persons Instead of one to occupy
each of the lnrge rooms. Behold !
We ha'd a house ready to accommodate
thirty people.
"Miss Julia Russcl was assigned as
'hostess' to the house, rather than
'matron,' the term at first suggested
by the army men, but quickly aban
doned when we suggested the other.
Miss Itussel was installed In tho house,
with an exce.Ient French woman In
charge of the housekeeping. On my
last visit, the telephone girls vvere
already feeling themselves part of a
very real and happy family. As I
write this report, I am just preparing
to go up to general headquarters to
attend their first reception to the offi
cers of the post"

The Little Drama
WE WERK all down on the dock.
Cousin John and Mrs. Ashby were
fishing. Sho seemed as gftv, as Im
perturbable, as ever. Yet I know. And
between us there Is a deeper bond of
unacrsianoing, confidence.
Little Anne was sitting on the edge
of the platform swinging her . legs.
nut I had no eyes for anything but
Wlnthrop Carter and Margot.
Wlnthrop Carter, the penniless
hclress-hunter. And Margot, penniless,
too. But with her beauty as a great
stake for fortune. And these two are
In love. I saw it. Too, r saw they were
struggling against it. Fox they each
one. of them must marry money. And
here they had been caught unawares
by the chubby god.
What would be the outcome? I
could only wonder. I raw Margot's
fleeting look from sea-green eyes. And
Wlnthrop Carter!
The comedy If such It Is was not
played out this afternoon.
I was caught by my own drama.
Comedy, tragedy, whatever it is to
be. For Oeorge Arnold came swing
ing down tho dock.
The color swept over me, as I
watched him come striding along.
Such a man strong, virile. Power
ful. The sunlight touched his ruffled
hair. It laid a finger on his deep-cleft
features. He was an ugly-handsome
man. So I said to myself.
Then into the quiet, sun-lit after
noon, came another element. Little
Anne had slipped off the dock. Into
the water sixteen feet below, In a
flash It seemed little more George
Arnold had thrown off his coat. He
dived Into the wnter. We watched
breathless. There was no sound. Then
he appeared with Anne In his arms.
Cousin John took her from him. It
had been nothing. A child slipped
suddenly Into the water. There were
two men here. But the third man
Oeorge Arnold had leaped without
thought.
He shook off the water.
"Would you take these. Miss Lane?"
he said. He held out a roll of bills and
his watch. So I went with him to the
