It consists of ordinary human material upon which spiritual graces are interposed. Saints can be poor, or old, illiterate, humble SPRINGTIME is brideUme and who cater to the e clientele report a renewed interest in the traditional wedding with all its picturesque bride-to-b- saints can be royal. Saint Elizabeth of Hungary was a queen. Saint Francis one of tne greatest was a penniless beggar. Thousand of saints are never called saints at all, except In the hearts of their children, of the neigh, bors who remember them for years, wondering perhaps where that effect of goodness, light, help, faith came from. This neighbor of mine has no Idea that she is a saint She Uvea so completely for other persona that I doubt if she ever thinks of herself at all She is a big. broadly built worn an, standing up to her tall sons al most at their level, catching up grandchildren as if they were feathers. She has had five children four now, since the telegram came about Tom. Martha Howe took that blow quietly; nobody in the family felt any extra agony of grief because of mother's grief. Almost immediately she could talk quleUy of Tom, of his dearness, his fun, his athletic achievements, his passionate longing to get into air service In which be died. Comforting Dad. she Also, after the telegram, took to being downtown once or twice a week, late in the afternoon, drifting into the shoe store, and walking home with dad. Always there was the same loving care with his meals; gravy the way he liked it, little hard crisp doughnuts always on tap. Always there was cheerful gossip; indulgent laughter for Sarah's school interests, tender amusement over Julias love affairs, deep concern for Franks nursery and the grandchildren. For the 40 years since she was 16 Martha Howe has foUowed the simple path of saintliness with no idea of its importance. To her it care meant patient, of an adored invalid father; early happy marriage and work and economies with a man she loved; tireless devotion to babies in the slow years of wet little shoes, lost little rubbers, croup, spilled milk, long wet afternoons. It meant motherly inclusion of many other small derelicts; "his mothers in the hospital, or theyre having sickness over at Blakes, Martha would explain when small strangers swelled the circle. It meant the heaven of mother-lov- e for five growing boys and girls, "Mother-an- d babies . . " -- father love, gardens, picnics and birthdays, sympathy in trouble, care in illness, endless trips upstairs and downstairs. It meant darning and mending late Into the night; loyal defense in crises, pride in school triumphs, prayer always all day, every day, prayer. It meant baking cookies, smoothing beds, mending skates and dolls; wet weather, dry weather, cold days and hot, year out and In. Martha Howe, one of a million wives and mothers who are doing the same thing, never to be put into the litany of the saints, but a saint just the same. And how we are going to need them. In these days to comei For it is only the children of such fathers and mothers, children raised in simple, loving homes, with strong principles of honor, with a code and a rule behind them, who are going to save the world now. It must be these young hands that are raised against the fearful conditions that will follow these wars, these young hearts that take up the burden. Same Simple Cure. All the peace conferences in the world, with their inevitable delays, misunderstandings, evasions, omissions, will not accomplish what these domestic saints accomplish. The cure for the weary, poisoned, shattered world now is the same cure that was described for us 2,000 years ago; the leaven that a woman hid in two measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. No, peace conferences will not get us anywhere. It will be years before reliable authority is established anywhere in Europe, years before any mans word will be worth the taking. But in the simple homes of America there does lie a cure. In the upholding and rebuilding of what made us what we are, and will keep us safe in our own fine traditions. Home life, mother-and-fathlove, gardens and babies; spare bedrooms being made ready for company; Sunday dinners; dad at the head of the table, mother coming in flushed and triumphant with the turkey. These family saints to absorb the terrible afterwash of these years of hate and destruction, must only extend their mothering to take in a broken soldier or a sailor, to include a desolate little widow or a child orphaned by war. They must only do what they have always done, reaching out toward loneliness and suffering and comforting it If a hundred of them do it hundreds of lives will be that much brighter and safer. If a thousand, the whole world will feel the effects of it If a million women will reach out their strong, experienced, loving hands toward the individual needs of our postwar people generally, America's peacetime problem will be solved with no governmental action at alL There is no other way. Home Work Clothes Designed for Comfort and Safety Homemakers should choose work garments carefully. A ers that provide width for action dress are satisfactory only if the fullness well-c- ut is comfortable, and permits the busy housewife to move freely as she works. Sleeves for work are comfortable and safe if they are short and moderately wide. On chilly mornings a work Jacket with sleeves, tapered to fit the lower arm, so they will not catch on other objects adds extra warmth. Blouse backs with pleats or gath th is placed on both sides where it can respond to arm and shoulder move- ment. A gored skirt should be cut wide enough at the bottom to permit the homemaker to walk, climb, and stoop easily, and yet be fitted closely enough about the hips to stay in place.
