By KATHLEEN NORRIS have just been 'npHINGS I running down at home since Ted and Larry went away to war, whined a woman to me in the market the other day. "You see, she went on, "Larry was making good money and he helped out a lot, and by this time I suppose Ted would have been too. Now with a wage-earne- r, Dad at home, and Betty just we are the most dismal group you can imagine, and the money trouble doesnt help to console us! I cant wait to have the boys get back, when we can get all straightened out, pay our debts and start over. I looked at this woman In amazement She loves her sons; she will grieve bitterly If either is taken by war. And yet she could stand there It is every woman's duty to try to preserve the morale of the men of her family who are and tell me, with a sort of melancholy pride, that the welcome provided for the boys of the family is going to be complaints, debts, anxieties, responsibilities no heartening assurance of the familys solvency and security, no encouraging plans for rest and recuperation just the old tedious complaining and protesting against the general injustices of fate. Another woman wrote to her son that she and his grandmother, who have been living together, have had so serious a disagreement that they are going to law about it She asks him to answer several questions by return mail: Does he remember his grandmother saying that his mother had been mixed up in an unsavory love affair before her marriage; will he testify that his grandmother often called his mother ugly names, and so on. The lonely son, wasting the best years of his life in the bleak Aleutians, must sit down and handle the quarrels of the two undisciplined women. Runs Down His Wife. Another woman writes her son disparaging letters about his wife. Mollie, she says, is a perfectly good girl, but she has friends at the house all the time who are laughing and , making candy and going to mother-in-laaftemoop movies, and the thinks it is a shame to have Bobs money wasted that way. And again a homesick man must open letters that fill his heart with bitterness and despair. As for the dear John letters these have become a recognized aid to the enemy! The "dear John letter is a missive that opens with the I have been shattering phrase, thinking of us and our married life, and I believe we would both be happier if we were to obtain a divorce and make a fresh start with other mates. Dont smile at this and dismiss it as only an occasional thing. It is a very real and desperate menace to the morale and peace of mind of our fighting boys. Hundreds and hundreds of these cruel notes go forth daily, and the effect they have on a man whose nerves are shaken already by danger, by the loss of comrades, by homesickness, mosquitoes and strangeness may be imagined. The woman he loves doesnt want to see him any more. The little children who cried when daddy went away wont be his children when he comes back. The home and securi- - Curtains hung at windows exposed to bright light or sunshine will give out first Sunlight causes the fabric to lose its strength. It is a good plan to make top and bottom hems of the same width and then reverse them each time they are washed or cleaned. Curtains from sunny windows can be shifted occasionally to the shady side of the house. Sheets usually wear thin first in the upper center, so reverse them from head to foot occasionally. Mend all snags promptly. Stitch together the out- side edges of sheets worn thin in the middle, split them down the center and hem the edges. thaken by danger, ,. More Cloth Coming Soon The supply of yard goods for home-sewin- g in small towns and rural areas will soon be increased. Preference ratings will be given to merchants in these areas for the distribution of about 150,000,000 yards of cotton fabrics, including pongee, voile, sheeting 42 inches and wider, print cloths, outing flannel and gingham. This decision follows a similar order, issued during the first quarter of this year, which was aimed to correct unequal distribution of piece goods. w Already . home-deknes- t, ty for which he is fighting arent either home or secure. The devastating breath of war is not only blighting his life now, at the terrible battle front, but it has destroyed everything else, too. Grim, Vital Days Ahead. I would like to remind these women that we are going into grim and vital postwar days. Every woman in America will be a help or a burden to the building of the new world then Thouthere will be no half-wasands of helpless, selfish, discontented women will find themselves left out of the running, their children rebellious at the change that gives them a strange home and a new father, their new mates not inclined to be particularly considerate of the women who coldbloodedly could drop old mates during the crisis of war. But thank God there will be other women, millions of them women who have written nothing but encouraging and loving letters during women who have this time; planned practically for the homecoming, are saving money, are out of debt and are full of ideas for Toms future; women who know that more than our pilgrim or pioneer mothers needed them, we l, need now courage, economy and foresight. It is the woman who is strong, faithful to her mate, concerned with his welfare and that of the children and able to live on her income, no matter how small, who is going to be the inspiration, the essential creator, of the new America. letter-- writing Buffet Chicken Salad Sliced Tomatoes and Cucumbers Potato Chips Pickles and Olives Orange Rolls or Biscuits Fresh Berries with Cream Refrigerator Coolucs Beverage Recipe given.

W hen there are difficulties that she cannot cope with, she should tell her soldier little or nothing about them. Perhaps they will clear up in any case they can wait. Seldom can the poor fellow in a distant camp do anything about them, anyway. He has enough to contend with, struggling against the enemy, and enduring discomforts of all sorts. Letters disparaging his wife, telling of family quarrels and financial problems, do serious damage to the spirit of the front-lin- e fighters. y fascinating, the print more so than ever this summer.

Sun and Play Dress Summer Wash Frocks Intriguingly Styled Seldom a season, if ever, when wash frocks have been so intriguingly styled as now. In making up cottons that are lovelier than ever this summer designers are playing up imagination to the nth degree. They have succeeded so admirably that a seersucker dress or a gingham goes places as pridefully as a silken print or modish crepe. Theres all sorts of fetching trimming accents appearing on this seasons c wash apparel, such as bows, embroidered pockets, and most of all just "oodles" of eyelet embroidery in yokes or contrast sleeves or frills that finish off edges in a most flattering way.

The jacket is finished off with a bias binding of the gingham. For final glamour little bows of selfgingham travel all the way the front of the jacket.
