Myra, comfortably settled In the
easiest chair of the silting room, lazily
wated a. slim white hand to her
mother's cheery good-by, and. turning
toward tho window, watched the, lively
little body cross the street and join
several other dear mother people on the
corner. Myra laughed scornfully.
"I4m surprised at mother: such a
motley crowd, tall, short, fat, lean, rich
md poor,"
Myra, however, failed to take noto
of tho one connecting link among the
women. Each one carried a huge sew
ing bag and every one from old Mrs.
McCane's worn brown lining mon
stiosltj4, to the wealthy Mrs. Van Raton's
creation of satin and ribbon, was oxer
flowing with its burden of brown and
gray yarn and partially finished gar
ments for Uncle Sam's soldier bojs.
Myra yawned and turned lazily to
a book In her lap, but somehow she
could not get Interested. A coming
party was uppermost In her mind and
she was having rosj visions of her
self in the new satin gown which she
had ordered Just that morning She
was wondering if she could get slippers
lo match the delicate hue of her dress
material, and If she had better hae
her hair done bv a hair dresser or trust
to her own nimble fingers to get Just
the'eorrect amount of nave Into the
clossv strands of bronze. Pleasant
reveries were Interrupted by tho in
sistent peal of the telephone bell
Her eager greeting of her dearest
chum was cut short In horrified dlp
inaj'. Of Course Not I
"Cut out the party? Surely, you
must be mistaken, Dora Why, I ordered
my dress todav On nccomU of the
wai? Mv soul! This old war makes
me tired I don't see what this country
got Into It foi, anyhow. I wlsn to

Yhit' that make comfort

noiist use No, 1 won't help. Jt makes

Mvra returned to her easv ehali,
pouting dieadfullv She cltight up the
book hhe hud tried to read and flitrg
Mt to a far corner of the libraij4 table
Her childish spite thus nppeised, she
slumped down Into the luxuriant r' ptlis

Her brother awakened lier later bv

Then she skimmed the lovelorn letters
and read the next chapter In a thrilling
serial of love and adventure That di
gested, she turned in a bored fashion to

Her brother finallv turned wistful eves
toward the feminine heap In the easv

"Awful, Isn't If" he Inquired glumllv.
Myra surveyed him laz(lj "What'p

Dumfounded. she read them down.
Suddenly she stiffened, peered closer at
