Il j Bide of the At- H faag l lantic that Fash- H ion's latest de- m croo was that the smart women was m to go corsetleBS. Another way that H women were to do their bit to help m win the war, for the whalebone was M to be used for other purposes. Not M only whalebone, but steel, forms the lighting deck of the good cruiser cor- 1 set, and thus steel, the great sinew of H war, was. to be released for Mars by M Venus in this new ruling. We are m told that in days gone by whalebone M was used in the manufacture of arch- m ory bows, and also of whips, both, M we must grant, fighting instruments. M Steel ships today are plowing the fl qcean in defiance of the kaiser's sea H snakes, while steel transports are car- H rylng fighting men across, steel bat- H tleships and cruisers are waiting H , grimly outsido the waters of the Kiel H canal daring the "High Sea Fleet" to M emerge,, and steel bayonets are fiash- H ing "over the top" while steel bullets H and shells crash against the fast tot- m terlng ramparts of kaiserlsm, militar- ' ism and Hindenburgism. Thus the P edict helps all round! Kg Well, the women did not take kind- H lyto the edict and were far from B ready to- give up their figures at this H stage in the game, for imagine the gay H soldier lad who left a trig, Venus- m formed spouse at home, and on his H return would find all traces of shape- H liness gone and his wife resembling a H sack of substitutes! H No, Fashion, and the demands of H war, must not press the matter too H hard for the time will come when B modern Eves -will flatly refuse to give H up their harness 'and armuor plate at, H such awful cost as loss of figure H even though the steel may be needed H to harness the Hun! ALONG with the preserving sea- son, and hay fever time, comes H word that a certain little maid can't H make up her mind Which of four suit- H ors she will choose for life companion. H For the prist year, so runs the tale, H the our have devoted their time and H money to making her life one merry M whirl and all think It about time little H Mary should make up her mind. Now H two of the beaux wear uniforms and H Mary can't decide, so it seems, B whether the khaki of the army lad, or m theJnimaculatQ white ducks of the H naV.iar'e the most attractive. If left B to herself she might make a choice, . H but listen, Mary has a mother, as most i M nice irlfe do, but as wise Solomon . H knew, there 'are "Mothers and Moth-1 H ere!?'.,. -1 fl Well, JMary's ma hr'fc the type that f m is VBridjCiotBingj from"tfi'o"House tops the praise of Mary, of Mary's beaux, of Mary's clothes, and of Mary's conquests, until the neighbors are ready to drop a safety curtain, or have a hurried call to the telephone to interrupt the praise fest. So time will tell who is to hold the lucky number num-ber and It may be that Mary will wed the sailor sweetheart, be a fair daughter daugh-ter of the regiment, the diplomatic wife of a some day author or just the plain evory-day bride of the T. B. M. Bo that as it may, she must not linger too long in the garden of love for remember re-member sometimes the best fruits are picked up and a lonely lemon oft remains re-mains where golden pippins have hung.
