They don't tell. for Instance, nbout those twenty-one days of dancer lust .7uly. when this actress, with her hus band and other theatrical companions, Kept thousands of men en route to Kurope fiom living In constant dread of the submarines which sank two of the ships In their convoy. They give no hint of the day she. In Annette Kellermann suit, climbed a ship's ladder in mid-ocean to give o, per formance for the amusement of men who hadn'l been on land for long weary months, and who received the announce ment of the coming 'show'' by wigwag from the American convoy. The audiences that ft in comfortable theatre chairs and laugh at tho small red-halreil actress" stunts little dream that in the l.ist few months she has used everything fiom mess tables, dirt roads and Hhip ropes as stages: that she w. tiled In French mud almost to the top of her gum boots lo bring laughter to the war-wcaiied hearts of American Riddle! h ni the flout, or that she choked hack her tears to sing comic songs to men whose features and limbs had been torn and distuned h. enemy fire, whose bodies were broken, shapeless masses on the nariow white hospital beds.

They deserve the ery hest the world can give, nnd I'm glad to add my little share. They'll still be needing laughter next summer and maybe I ea,n help lighten their burden.'." The soft folds of a black velvet gown gave an added whiteness and freshness to the speaker's skin that made her listener marvel at tales of "bathless days" at the battle front. "I hadn't had my clothes off for five da. when we landed In Liverpool," she laughed, "but I went right to n camp and sang for the boys I've learned one can slug as well In dirty clothes us in clean ones so long as the Inspiration Is there. In all my weeks it tho front I had just three baths and three times 1 did my family -washinn:, I got so I never looked at m neck I lost the courage. It was Just a series of traveling with our rolls of bedding, clothing, gas masks and other equipment, In crowded French trains or dilapidated automobiles, from one camp lo another, and singing till there was no more olcc to tho appre ciative soldiers. "At one plnce a major came tn me after n performance and asked me to go next morning to some elate pits to en tertain his boys. I pot up at 6 o'clock and rode miles to the pits where tho boys had made a -.tage if four mess tables and a half a dozen; candles as footlights. Then I had lunch at th1 camp horse t.teak and all and went on to a Red ("rosa hospital to sing to lBufl doctors, nuries and patients. It was terribly cold and the hospital was a barny place.

At another time the automobile In which the Oreens were being driven to a new camp broke, down near an army lumber camp, i.oathr to miss oven a few hours, tho entertainers climbed to the top of the hill where the camp was located and asked the commandant If they might call the bo.vs together. They were greeted with great enthusiasm by ofllcts and men alike and by !) o'clock the mess tent was jammed und masses of men circled close to the ralhed tent (laps.

SILK BLOOMERS ARE DAINTY AFFAIRS NOW ( A Daily Fashion Talk ; Florence Rose SKVERAI. years ago one ot the most prominent of the mnkers of lingerie told me that she not only wore bloomers herseir. hut that she advocated them for other women. In those days .the. bloom ers were a very plain affair, In most cases of plain silk or satin, nnd not decorated. It therefore seemed rather a stcange point of view to take, especi ally for a woman who was making the most elaborate and expensive lingerie and evidently making the most money on this sort of wear. Since that time the bloomer has un dergone a great change in design not so much in design, fit. in decoration. To be sure, there are plain affairs, but the demand Is for those trimmed with either hemstitching, lace, or embroidery dope on organdie or chiffon. There is no set rule, hut the fancy at present Is to have the bloomers match the camisole In material and trimming. For Instance, both the camisole nnd the knickers are made of washable pink satin. The cami sole has a vest effect of lace and shoul der strups of the same. Tiny pink tucks decorate the front. The bloomers carry out the same Idea of decoration, by having the pinch tucks In n squnre. outlined with the lace, on each leg of tho knickers. A frill of lace finishes the lower edge. Then there are the camisole and knickers, that might be worn together If desired, as both are ornamented with hemstitching. Tho camisole has the ndded attraction of a band of lace across tho top. The flouncing on tho bloomers Is rather unusual. This Is formed by a tiiuai" of the material, with it circle cut in the center to fit the lower edge of the bloomer and finished on the out side edge with hemstitching., (Copyright, 11)18. bv Florence .Hon ) When There Isn't Enough Chicken to Go Around The other day. the most awful thing iiappened.

I cut some mushrooms and red peppers and slices of hard boiled egg into the chicken, and In stead of sherry (Aunt Elizabeth doesn't approve of liquor). I put In a big teaspoonful of Al Sauce.

' In some of the more highly theoretical parts of his book he has elected So fol low Freud's writings very closely and ' does not hesitate to borrow even the words of the great nloneer In nsycho- i analysis removes from his writings the possible aspersion that they are the work of a lone theorist. On the other hand, he presents the clinical material (Intricate details omitted) from two elaborately analyzed cases, and through the medium of his thoroughness raises himself above the category of those given to generali ties. Any quarrel with Doctor Fink Is thus of necessity a quarrel with the processes of psychoanalysis Itself. One is struck in reading this volume wjth the plausibility of every conclusion the writer arrives at In weighing his clinical material. It Is to be expected that he too, like Freud, will be ques tioned by students of the psychoanalytic movement for having made so much of tne sexual motivation of men's conduct and of the sexual conduct of their un conscious yet active menial life. The same criticism that has been applied to the psychoanalysts, namely that they are iiicnneu to read "sex into so many cases of aberration, must needsupply to incse investigations of Doctor Fink. He finds every human feeling traceable to j the Instincts of hunger and sex. Instincts which ate manifest In the new-born In fant, so that adult sexuality Is a com posite of Impulses already present In the j Infant. Ho finds that morbid disturb ances are possible In every step of' the I hchlld's developing sexunlltj, a conclusion wnicn is supported by the revelations In the elabointely analzed case of Stella and In other of his rllnk',11 studies. A review of "Morbid Fears and Com pulsions" would not be complete without a tilbute to the author's sl.vle of writing. His facility of expression and his ad mirable choice of words make him de lightfully easy to follow. The cases of Miss Sunderland and that of Stella arc presented with a high regard for dra matic surprises which, whether studied Or not, hold the lnteiest nf thn rearlor aa i though they were works of high-class j fiction and not thoroughgoing scientific analyses.

The interest of the story is handi capped by the tedious triviality of much of the conversation and incident. A certain amateurishness of touch Is re vealed in the stilted handling of char acters and situation, but the author writes with a manifest love of British Columbia, and communicates his enthu siasm to the reader.
