"1 am going to discharge that fool
chauffeur. He will ruin our trip.
First, there was cylinder trouble that
he might have' avoided if he'd done a
little cleaning; then the spark plugs
went wrong; then that weak tire he
hadn't noticed indulged in a blow
out, and now the vacuum system
won't work. That chauffeur is an
idiot. The idea of starting out with
out nuttinc the machinery in order
He's going to be discharged without
;i recommendation, turned Mr.
Crosbv.
Of course, he was "perfectly
riaht." and though a party to the
Berkshire' was neid up in Aioany
for two' days while our host tele
phoned to New York and , way sta
tions for ' an emergency chauffeur,
none of, us complained. I think it
occurred to most of us that it might
have been pleasant had Mr. Crosby
known how to run his own car. But
how coul 1 we have expected him to
run a car efficiently when he didn't
run himself that way?
Of course, Jim Crosby should
never have started with an inefficient
chauffeur, but once he did, it would
have been wise for the Crosby tem
per to restrain itself until a better and
more trustworthy driver and mechani
cian could be found. But then Crosby
never kept his temperl
He Apologized.
He apologized for that by an ex
clamation he thought perfectly sat
isfactory: "I'm sorry I bawled that
chauffeur of mine out. I shouldn't
have lost control of myself, but then
you know I have chronic indigestion
and that malces a man irritable."
"Chronicle indigestion" and yet

Don't you know a good many men
who discharge underlings for failing
to keep some piece of machinery in
order and then spend their time
thinking up ways to put their own ma
chinerytheir life machinery out of
order?
You can't do good work unless you
are a pretty good piece of mechanism.
The very wear and tear of life depre

to counteract the natural deteriora

tion of health.
Do you sleep with your windows
open? Do you guard against colds
by keeping out drafts, by refraining
from rushing hatless and coatless out
of a warm room into the cold out-of-door
world? Do you wear rubbers
when it is rainy or damp? Do you
regulate your diet with a decent re
gird for the laws of health in gen
eral and what agrees witl you in par

Here is i actly how Mabel regu
lated her day up to six months ago.
She hated a cold room, so, she never
had a window open in her bedroom
it night. She woke up with a head
iche and no appetite for breakfast.
She hated high boots, so she wore
pumps or oxfords ail winter long.
She had neither much time nor money,
so a tup of chocolate and two dough
nuts sufficed her for lunch. She was
thoroughly tired out when night
came, tired, headachy and cross so,
of course, she didn't walk home from
work, but rode in the subway. By
the time she got home she was thor
oughly miserable weary, depressed
and nervous and very sorry for her
self. "I work like a dog for my 12 per,"
fIabel told me, weeping the while;
r then when I want to go to a dance
or a movie at night my mother makes
a fuss. A girl has got to have a little
fun, a little resreation she can't just
work and work and never get out
or have any pleasure can she?"
At the end of five years' work Ma
bel had advanced from $8 a week to
$12 and had a perpetual headache
and a bad complexion.
' Mabel was persuaded to try dif
ferent methods for three months.
Windows open in her sleeping room;
high, warm, laced boots; a simple
" blue serge dress instead of the white
waists she had been staying up to
launder when she came home at mid
night. Bed by 10, five nights a week.
A bowl of cereal and milk for break
fast. 'A lunch of hot soup with either
toast or a sandwich. Half an hour's

The headache left and the complex
ion cleared up. Mabel got interested
in her work began doing it better.
Xo miracle has happned yet,, but
Mabel feels well and rs absolutely
certain that the office manager ap
proves of her and is going to advance
her tn the $18 job she is trying for.
She is earning $15 now, too. Worth

The matching bag and hat "follow
as the night the day." Old blue pon
gee with a ijand of the same silk in
natural coloi, caught with a round
buckle, makes this simple sailor
(left). The bag repeats these fabrics
and also wears a buckle.
Machine stitching is following
quickly on he heels of hand quilling
on hats. vVhite organdy (lower
right) stitched in blue gives us the
wide-brimmed sailor, which is faced
with plain blue. A band of blue rib
bon is the only trimming. This type
of hat, in various shades of linen,
stitched in contrasting color, is a
pretty bit of summer millinery.
Spring Modes from Paris
Dressmakers do hot look forward to the
new luxury taxes now ' under discussion.
Some have protested, but nothing; has yet
been decided, and meanwhile new dresses
are belnir shown writes a correspondent to
the- London Times. Important or unimport
ant -as dress itself may be, dressmaking as
a trade is undoubtedly of great Importance
to France. In spite of the cost of materials,
the difficulties of transport, the shortness of
labor, and ether obstructions, Paris dress
makers have prepared as good collections
as in previous years.
At a place where about 150 frocks were
shown every one was marked by that hall
mark of French taste in clothes simplicity.
Tailor madea, little dresses, dinner gowns,
were all simple; exaggerations were not to
be found. Black silk jersey was much used
for tailor mades. with long waist coats of
embroidered linen, the neatest of these being
a white one finely embroidered in Jet beads.
Skirts are short and slim, coats are either
redlngote or short, the three quarter coat
being nowhere. There are pockets and but
tons, but the pockets do not bulge; they
He flat and have buttoned back flaps. Col
lars are no longer Important for size, but
there are some well cut shawl collars on the
coats some of which run off into a waist
belt and button behind. Beige, sand color,
gray, navy blue and black are the colors
for tailored suits; some show practically no
trimming except In the waist coat, or In
pockets and buttons. Basques show a slight
fullness on the hips, and skirts look even
narrower than they are, as thty often have
a deep hidden pleat.
Dresses of All Kinds.
Little dresses of all kinds are shown this
season, from the most simple of country
frocks in linen to the most elaborate town1.
dress in jtaffetas, crepe de chine, silk
crepons, and moussellne de sole. Two ma
terials are still used to make one frock, and
embroidery Is much used for trimming. Side
paniers are still in fashion, but are muuh
reduced in volume. A favorite embroidery
la gray Angora mixed with white or blue,
and there are some good little dresses In
black crepe de chine with fawn and gray
embroideries or impressions. The sleeve
less pinafore tunlo with wide shoulders and
loose sash belt is general. Sashes, loose
belts, and girdles are common. Short sleeves
are as general as long ones, especially for
the young.
Nothing eould be prettier or younger thsn
the little linen and batiste dresses in blue
and white, pink and white, blue and pink,
and pink and blue. With a good deal of
hand embroidery they can be almost dressy,
but their chief merit is their simplicity,
tlght colored foulards, rose color with a
rather big design In white on It, while with
a bold blue design, and stripes also promise
to be In favor. In these dresses, as in all
others, the throat is decollete, oval and
square, rattier low, with a filling of chiffon
gathered across the base of the throat. No
collars are worn on the dresses except some
choice linen ones.
Colon for Town.
For .town wear all dresses and Costumes
will be low In tone: black and white, black
and tray, blaok and fawn, gray alone, and
all the tones In sand color. The waistcoat
blouse will be much Worn tor luncheon In
the spring, and later on the little dress will
be popular. At present the luncheon dress
Is nearly as elaborate as the tea and tango
dress before the war, and although many
women refrain from appearing In public at
all in these days, a good many well dressed
women lunch out. Only pearls really look
well on the dresses today; dlamonda In publo
look wrong, but occasionally the mistake Is
made. One may wonder where the new
dresses will be worn, for they are being
bought. There are some colored taffetas al
lied to gorgeous gold and silver shot bro
cades, soft and supple as charmeuse, and
there are whole dresses ef the brocade, fit
for court Ceremonies. A practical and new
garment la the light overeoat for spring
mornings, a miniature of man's loose half
season overcoat, convenient for showery
weather, with a little dress, not lined, and
generally made In fawn or gray. ,

ognizes the services of women to the
extent of giving them the rank of non
commissioned officers in the army.

Miss Ruth Sheldon expects to leave
in the late spring for New York City
where she will take special course in
Young Women's Christian association
work, prior to her departure for
Buenos Aires, South America. Miss
Sheldon will be physical director in
the ioung Women s Christian asso
ciation at that place.
Miss Sheldon is the daughter of Mr.

her A. B. degree from the University
of Nebraska last February. She as

similiar work in Nashville, Tenn.
Outfits for Chaplains
The Catholic Women's War Relief
association has been sending; knitted
outfits to chaplains in the various
cantonments. The women of this or
ganization have also been making
identification cases for the Roman
Catholic boys "over there." These
cases are made of waterproof khaki
4x2J4 inches, bound with khaki tape.
Each case contains two Dockets, one
for a rosary with scapular medal at
tached;- the other (or a pamphlet, on
the cover of which is the name and
address of owner and nearest relative.
The pamphlet contains brief religious
instructions tor use in emergency
when no priest can be obtained.
In response to an appeal sent out
last fall by the ladies' auxiliary of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Mrs.
3Iary F. McWhorter of Chicago, has
reported that $5,000 has been sub
scribed. This appeal was for funds
to buy chaplains mass outfits for use
in war relief. Each outfit costs at
least $100. The need for outfits was
intense, since no Roman Catholic
priest can conduct mass without
proper equipment.
Rodier is making a special feature
of drop stitch jersey.
