to nak.
How dOM a person manaae when she has
a box of paper with a df-alan or initial at
the top and wants to write a lotiK letter re
qulrinti two or more heen of paper? It
looks hardly proper t- use that kind for the
who- letter Ih it?
Whs' i the H'tie Crow? T know ft does
work for horses, but whwt kind of work does
it do for war horses or mnTPM in every

Is it proper to wear a Olrl Seoul suit

friend? Are they wrn as the soldiers wear

When one goes nwnv and meets lota of

er plate to ask them to write to her or her
plac- to be asked ask P raoni of either aex
I mean? ai
w
It is not usual to write very long. In
timate letters on one's best paper, but if
it is done it is all right to use several
sheet . A (rood way to do would he to
have less handsome paper for lonK let
ters or if you want tn start your let
ter nn Initiated naner have a box of Hie
aame kind of paper unmarked and add !
your second or third pages to the nrst
Initialed page. Tills Is simply to save
the Initialed paper, as it is not in bad
form to use It.
The Blue f'ross cares for animaln sick
or wounded on the battlefields and work-
inir at home. too.
The Oirl Scout suit Is better worn at
home. It Is not suitable for visiting un
less you are going on Oirl Scout busi
ness. It is not used as a soldier uses
his He must wear his always.
It would be all right for a girl to ask
another girl to write to her and keep up
a pleasant summer acquaintance tn this
way. but a girl should not ask a boy
to write.
The request should come from the hoy
always And girls should not be too
ready to correspond wttn hoys. It is not
an awfully good plan. dear. However, a
good, healthy friendship between a boy
and girl is a fine thing. So if a nice.
sensible hoy asks you to write to him
do so, but don't write to every one who
asks you.

Coral Jewelry
One cannot overlook the effectiveness
of coral with the suinnurtlnie costumes.
Coral Is one of the most charming
shades when not overdone In costume,
and this season It gives that brightness
and contrast that are essential with the
rather subdued tones of wartime frocks
and talllrurs.
There arc long airings of coral beads,
which fall over a white or pale bisque
waistcoat very effectively, and there are
strings of coral and dull gold, to which
are attached smart lorgnettes. Coral set
irrow pins are thrust through convert
ible coat collars and coral tipped hat
pins project from Hiring sailors of lus

Fsshion Hints
The latest handbags are made with
frames of wood.
The newest corsets hare Philippine

The season's waists show very effec
tive color combinations.
Black satin nnd Venetian sliver lace
arc a fine combination.

The Miracle
Oh, little child of mine.
it seemed, before you came,
I was a weary woman grown.
My world a rose too fully blown;
Ton many springs had bloomed the
same
I'or one to be divine.
Before I knew your eyes.
The magic of your hand.
A little dusty seemed my way.
And dull each oft-repeated day,
And faded seemed the summer land,
And faded, too, the skies.
And then, my sweet, you came;
llehold the world made new!
New flowers springing left and
right,
The sun new gold, new stars alight,
And vouchsafed unto me through
you
New youth a deathless flame!

Respon-
These are no days for twaddling
tongues or twiddling thumbs We are
at war in earnest. WJtness lengthening
casualty lists. From now on every one
of us must he prepared to bear greater
responsibilities than over before.
It Ib Impossible to conduct our lives I
as we did previous to tne war. we
must overhaul our whole system of liv
ing nnd preface everything we do with
tile question, "is this helping to win the
war?"
Not until we have the firm knowledge
that everything, not alone in our busi
ness affairs, but also In the home. Is
helping, not hindering our victory, can
we hope to crush (lermany. which for
years has governed both the public rtid
private Uvea of her people with but one
object In view, that of aome day being
strong enough to put every nation under
foot that could d'spMte her supremacy.
Let the womnn who hesitates to put
her cooking on a wheatless basis re
member that It la her duty to go with
out any wheat from now until the next
harvest.
"But." some housewife mny aay. "the
official ration of wheat Is a pound and
a half per peraon per week. Why
should I go without wheat when this
ration Is allowed by the food admin
istration?" Thla Is a legltlmte fiiestlon. but one
eaallv answered. After a care'ul survey
of the nation's wheat supply the food
administration has estimated that we
can meet the tremendous demanda made
on ua If every one in the country cuts
his whrnt rrtion to a pound and a half
per week.
But there will he some who cannot
possibly do this, much as they would
like to de It. These people nre the ones
wno Keep tne wheels of the nations in
dustry moving. Many of these are work
ing extra hours to keep the nation apace
of the enormously increasing demands of
war. They have little time to cook at
home and must, therefore, buy most of
their food, a large part of which Is bread.
To be sure, they will buy only Victory
bread, hut this, at heat, must contain
over 60 per cent wheat 111 order tp make
It durable enough for distribution
through bakeries. Henco these people
must In most cases exceed the weekly
ration of on and one-half pounds of
wheat.
It remains for those housewives who
do have time at home to dr. their cook
ing and go without wheat altogether. In
order to make the average wheat con
sumption one and a half pounds per
capita.
Delay and unwillingness to phouldcr
a responsibility that Is rightfully yours
means that these days of horror and
carnage will be prolonged
If you believe that "food will win the
war" you have no alternative.

I feel a hit responsible In helnlng you
to chorse your path, and yet I cannot
help saying what I have always thought
A girl must live her own life It Is hard
for mothers to realize this, because they
love their children so much. But If you
were to be married you would have' to
leave your mother and It would hurt, but
she would let you go It ought to be
the same way now. Time files quickly
by. Year after year you might go on
giving up opportunities for advancement
in order to remain at home; then some
day you would wake up to find yourself
ereep'ng toward middle age without hav
ing lived up to your own capabilities. It
Is not pleasant to wake up like that. If
your mother were living alone 1 should
say forge ahead in the new cliy and
meke a little home there for both of
you But you say ycur sister is with
her. Won't she he company for her? I
Then you can write home lots and strsl I
home every once in a while. I hope I do
not sound heartless, but I do not believe
that vounp people should make too many i
sacrifices. Some dav they will be mothers,
too. nnd their doughters will In turn
leave them. It is n thing every mother,
must face.

What to Do
By CYNTHIA
He Has a Hard Time
Dear Cynthia I cannot understand why
so many slrla have done the same thine, to
me lam eonatdered a handanme young man
hv my friends. lint I think If an strange
ever? time I meet a young girl I fall to sea
.. 1mk" tola as un example I met a
ling girl In the park one day. 8he took
pieturis of nv. and promised to aend them to
me when they were developed. Rhe slao said
she would make a date with me when aha
a-nt the pietures I never received the ple
turea nor have I ever een her since. Or
course I don't think mm n nf the girls who
bteak their word a. this one did. but I can
not fnrget a girl I met the other night, Sho
Waa so nrettv and we talked for about, a
half hour. She promised to meet me tho
lullow-lni: night, hut failed.
I want eo tn meet her again, for She
Juat the kind of a girl I am looking for
. ..uld you tell me some way In which to aea
nerr ciease do not tell me to rorgel her.
for I really enn't anil am aolng to walk too
town If It takes m: years to And her.
UNFORTUNATE.
I'm afraid that Is what you will have
to do L'nfortunate, If you want to And.
the girl again unless you have her ad
dress. If you know where she lives,
write her a little note nnd ask If you
may call. That Is the only way.
Now for a little plain talk. Why do
you meet the girls In the Park or atreet?
Nice girls do not meet boys that way.
You should be Introduced properly to
g!rl and then If you want to see them
train ask if you mny call at their homes.
Do not try to make engagements to meet
them outside. What do they know of
you or you of them? Theae girls were
evidently having fun talking to a strange
man. but If they are nice, they would
no n-nke engagements with a stranger
and If they made them In fun would not
think of keeping them. I think you will
tlnii you will have a number of friends
if you go about meeting them In the
right way and call on them.
It's not a good way to do otherwise.
Sorry I can't Do It
Dear Cynthia In Saturday's paper I read
of the aoldier who hadn't any relatlvea. and
I should like to .rite to htm. In fact I
nave written to him and have Inclosed th
nole with this card to you Will you Dlease
Hd-eaa it n him? Th-re waa no address
given tn the paper. You may read the
,...t. r ir yuu Use. but pleaae do not pub
lish It. A REARER.
I am sorry, my dear. I cannot do aa
vou ask. iiiu a e. I do not know the
soldier nor do I know you nor the other
girl j who w-ould like to write to lilm. and
i I cannot bring about introductions
between strangers In the column. The
soldier's address was given lo a man t.
answer, nnd I am sure he no longer feels
Hint he is without relatives. I am re
turning your nice little note, sorry that
1 cannot comply with jour request.
