' 'EVERYBOEYS store"
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
Will this monstrous world war bring Judy O'Grady and the Colonel's
Lady nearer together? Will it teach one half of humanity how the other
half lives?
Will it create a bond of sympathy and understanding for the better
ment of the race?
For the first time in the memory of this generation the society woman
is working perhaps not utilizing her moments as she will later on when
the stress becomes greater. She is beginning to realize the importance of
blue serge and sensible heels; the necessity of early rising and good health.
On the Toboggan.
When the spirit of patriotism (or the fad, whichever it is) began to
enlist armies and armies of society women, along with the professional and
business women, the useless, silly pink teas found themselves on the
toboggan.
The clamor for leadership in extravagance is not so popular and we
yet may be convinced that "money is character" or that the way in which
we use it shows character.
For, perhaps, the first time the society woman knows something
about the rush and the strenuous existence of the busy woman. She learns
to shop rapidly, to decide on what she wants and to "stay decided." She
learns to conserve time and to make the best of opportunities. But, first
of all, she learns to recognize opportunity's knock.
In our forced intimacy, and work for common interest, the great and
the small, the rich and the poor, the busy and the idle meet on the same
basis. One half the world learns to know that the other half also is human;
that they enjoy and suffer; that they try and fail and try again to win.
At the Finish.
During this tremendous drive of war work social equality is known
as never before. The idle become producers and the parasites are reborn
with a new spirit a desire to give to the world instead of to take from it.
The good which comes out of this conflict makes for a better and
purer race with a spirit alive to produce eradicating the spirit of indo
lence and decay.
Judy and the Colonel's Lady shall benefit at the finish.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Marrying a Soldier.
Tpo!' MIps Fairfax: I have, for tho pant
three years, been going out steadily with
tti" younK man lo whom 1 am hetrnthod.
t'nlil tho suitiin outbreak of this war.
wo were to have boon married on thl.i
cominK Thanksgiving f", but the various
members of my family now- believe that
the question of matrimony should not bo
oonsiderod at the present time, inasmuc-lt
a the gentleman In the care Is subject to
the draft.
My family says "If I am capable ol
supporting a crippled man for life, to go
ahead and marry."
lo you not think that this Is rather t
cold-blooded way to view the entire sltua
tion '.'
I am making a substantial salary and
my antiilpal Ions are, if my sweetheart in
called to the colors, to retain my position
until the war terminates.
In addition to myself there are several
stenographers here at the office In similal
situations as the one quoted above, who
aro anxiously awaiting your response
through The lice. S. M. B.
Yes, I do think that the attitude of your
family is rather a cold-blooded one. But,
on the other hand, I have heard a very
splendid man-an officer in the army ex
press the same idea. Said he: "I don't dare
marry the girl I love, because if I do, I
am putting myself in a position where, un
less I come back from the war practically
unscrntched, I won't come back. I'm not
willing lo be a drag on her later, crippled
or maimed, as I might be if I married
her." I met his suggestion with another
one wouldn't the same idea hold good even
if they were only engaged? But ho said,
"No, it would not. because then he would
not feel that the girt he loved was
shackled and bound to a. cripple."
Now I, personally, do r.ot hold these
views. First of all, tho war means sacri
fice, and sacrifice nobly made for all of us.
So fine women will not ask to be immune.
Kach will gladly take her chances of stand
ing by a man who is giving himself to his
country and If ho conies back crippled or
maimed needing love and devotion, who
more proud than the girl who cares for
him to stand by thj wounded lover who has
need of her' Any other attitude seems to
me to be Ignoble to be art attempt to evade
responsibility to be a failure to stand by
tho man to whom your love itself demands
that you be loyal. I don't believe in sud
den, hysterical war marriages, but with a
three years' fr: -nilslnp in the background,
it seems to me your wedding ought to take
place just as you have planned it.
Not Too fireat a Difference,
IVar .Miss Fairfax: I am 19 and In love
with, and loved by, a man thirteen years
older than 1. Jle wishes me to marry him.
hut my father strictly forbids, as he thinks
the difference in our ages is too great. Is
it wrong for a i'irl to marry a man so nucli
older? l'L'ZZI.ED.
Thirteen ye;tt-s is by i;o means too great
a difference between the ages of a man and
the woman ha desires to marry. cannot
conscientiously advise you to disobey your
father, but I want to appeal to him. A
man of K is young. ..Hist arriving at years
of maturity, at a splendid age to guide hfs
wife and to give her a feeling of having
married a man on whom he can lean, a
man of mature, sane judgment one who Is
not just a romantic boy with whom she is
having a love affair, but who is a splendid,
strong man in whom she can have faith and
confidence. This L not a mating of May
and December, but of a young woman with
a man who is just reaching maturity, who
is at the very best age to marry and make
a good husband.
