Proceeds will go for the relief of the 4French andvBelgian artists who painted these pictuies or for their wives and needy families. This lends a patriotic motive to the occasion which will bring many who may not be interested in art for art's sake. The exhibit will continue from 10 to 10 o'clock each day until May 16.

The weather man is not popular with'Unitarfan women, whose lovely May fete plans for Friday are aban doned for the present because of the rainy week. He must have grown peevisn witn us because we did not 'ask him to serve on our committee; like the thir teenth fairy, who wasn t bidden to the feastK,' said Mrs. W. F. Baxter. But the rain has not effectually dampened the ardor of the local women for an outdoor, dance fete. They will try to persuade Miss Por tia Swett, chief dancer, who came especially for the May fete at the Joslyn gardens, to return some time in June to hold the fete, which is a Unitarian church benefit. It was first planned for Wednesday, but was post- Koned. Miss Swett leaves today .for er Colorado camp. No Flowera In War Time.

Mayor Wants Bloodhounds At Police Headquarters "I think we should have blood hounds at the police station," ia the recommendation Mayor Dahlman made in council meeting. "Could hounds be trained to smell booze?" asked a citizen, holdinir a - j brown derby in his right band. WW I y. Iff i ; , ' if f " j " " r i Blue serge must look to its own. In the trench green covert, which is coming into style,, it has a rival worthy of considera tion. This soft dull, gray-green is becoming to any clear skin, and is guaranteed not to give the look of breadth and thickness i conveyed by the other wise likable tan whip cords. This "trench suit" employs a business-like and military skirt and the proper coloring to make itself worthy of its name. But the coat lines show becoming feminine curves instead of mas :uline angles. It has the smart tuxedo link' button fastening and the rolling revers which belong with that cut. Still more roll is furnished by the cuffs, which curve about the sleeves and swoop down under the round ed pockets. The' black lisere hat shows a few curves of its own in line and its use of a coral colored snail of enamel from which a single ornament thrusts up with just the suggestion of , a military cockade. 1 Rain Drives Fair Of Garages; Seeking Vacant Rooms Mrs. Louis Clarke, commandant of the motor-driving section of the Na tional League for Woman service, is seeking vacant rooms which may be used for classes which have suspended temporarily owing to the impossibil ity of the women meeting in garages during this rainy weather.

Uirlv hairv- ttrowths can be removed in the privacy of your own home if you get a small original package of delatone and mix into a paste enough of the powder and water to cover the hairy surface. This should be left on the skin about 2 minutes, then re. moved and the skin washed and every trace of the hair will have vanished. No harm' or inconvenience can result from this treatment, but be sure you buy real delatone. Advertisement. for a Cent t 1915 Grand Prii., San Diogo, 1816 MACARONI By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. M Can real knowledge ever be harm ful? Is it possible that a state of happy ignorance is good for anyone? Can it ever be true that "Where ig norance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise?" AH these, questions are suggested by a letter from one of my girls who- signs herseit i-onstant neaaer. Mere is her problem: "Is not too much knowledge re garding sex as bad as none at all? 1 am a girl not yet out ot my teens, and have been told a great many things concerning marriage- and motherhood .a tew by my parents, the maioritv bv niv stirl friends. I feel that had I not been told so much life would seem pleasanter and more enjoyable. As I have not much to occupy my mind, these thoughts come to me frequently. Are there others like me, or am I just a silly girl mak ing much ado about nothing? The difficulty with this girl and with many others li'.:e her lies in one of three things: Either her own na ture is morbid and inclined togjrood ing, or her knowledge, instead of be ing too great, is not great enough, or she has a cowardly desire to shirk the responsibilities of life. Childhood is a beautifully innocent periodor should be. But once it is past, no one may hope to escape knowledge of life's basic facts. The greatest responsibility and the most sacred privilege in all the world is motherhood. It isn't an irresponsible affair to be entered upon with the same amount of preparation one needs for playing with-dolls but it is the l- important career in all the world; .. belongs to a woman by mere right of her being a woman and sha needs knowledge and preparation in order properly to undertake it, There is no reasdn !why a girl in the latter part of her teens should not' know 01--Hies responsibilities. But she should know them as beautiful, sacred thiiiKS to be revered, rather than as puzzling and startling things to be considered and speculated about morbidly. Innoceffce is no protection to you in our modern social condi tions. O.. needs knowledge, and re spect for that knowledge. (Jf course, there has be.en in re, cent years a certain neurotic over emphasis on sex which has done an incalculable amount of harm. The wrong sort of moving picture, the cheaply lurid problem play and the sensational novel have all had a bad effect. And the humorist who said "it has struck sex o clock in Amer ica" was telling one of those tragic P '73 ' .0 iSHt TOO MS IMS Friday and Saturday Sensational Value Giving; Final Closing EVERY GARMENT IN OUR STOCK INCLUDED HURRY!

But a morbid, self-conscious tidal wave -cannot be held back by any but a strong sea wall of real knowledge. Since there is all about us the type of thing which satisfies, and caters to morbid curiosity we need read knowl edge with which to conquer the faults. When a girl is miserably unhappy about her knowb;dgeof the facts of life., either they have not been told to her beautifully, simply and rever ently or else she herself has father a coarse streak in her nature. - The duty of parents is clearly and distinctly to make sure that their childrerr have respectful knowledge of the prime facts of life and are saved frem half ashamed wonder and curiosity about them. And the duty of children is to keep their own atti tude sweet and wh.jlesome and clean and pure. After all, our attitudes are ours to control or not to control as we choose. If all trie girls who are worried over the things they fancy they know will just quietly ask themselves whether the fau'l. lies with facts or their own distorted view of them. I think they can readily work out for themselves a happier and saner and less impudent ly critical attitude toward the world which i controlled and arranged by powers too big and too fine for their half ku iwledge to appreciate. All of us need knowledge. All oi us are badly off unless we have real light on life and its problems. . And none of us need fear anything but our own ignorance of those sacred things i which could not fail to seem beautiful if we really understood them.
