If this silhouette ever dies it will die hard—and there will probably be some conservative women who will wear straight-line frocks all their lives, no matter what changes of silhouette occur—just as there are older women now who have remaine loyal to the severe *straight front feeling a personal distaste for any other sort of contour. But though there are extremely smart straight-line frocks—for those who prefer them-—there arefull-skirted frocks that are just as much in fashion. So vour choice between them should be a matter of individual pref- erence, Influenced, of course, by what is most becoming. As a matter of fact most women's prejudices and preferences regarding clothes are determined by this matter of becomingnes: MENU FOR A DAY.

Miss Gertrude Warren of the ex- tension service is the national ex- pert -who works throughout the coun- try with and in the interests of the farm girls. When you realize that over 400,000 girls are likely to be en- rolled in the farm clubs this year— there were 300,545 last year, and the number {s steadily increasing—and how widely scattered the clubs are, vou will see what a responsibility Miss Warren is_ shouldering. It fs her job to go to the State agricultural colleges and to co-operate with them in bringing to them the best that other. States have discovered; while, in turn, she studies the developments the State in which she happens to be has to give. She talks to the con- ferences of the farm agents, who go out to give the actual demonstrations and to organize new clubs as well as supervise the older ones. In other words, she is the medium through which’ information is gathered, ana- Iyzed and distributed to the end that the clubs may function to the best possible advantage. But work of this kind needs con- siderable training behind it. In the first place, Miss Warren was born on a farm herself, in New York State, and, having spent her more youthful vears in the rural environment, she understands how farm girls feel and what they want. That, it seems to me, is infinitely more important than college training, although Miss Wa ran did not neglect this necessary background. She went to Cornell for awhile, but took her degrees in B. S. and M. S. at Columbin Teachers’ College in home economics and education. Her own teaching afterward included nutrition courses at Simmons, in Boston, and at Teachers' College, also, It was from the latter place that she came to the Department of Agricul ture in 1917. She has many bulleting in the co-operative extension records to her credit, and several articles in the new Encyclopedia on Rural Life are from her pen. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BRADY, M.

Hardly had they tied up at the piers when about 1,000 marines and soldiers land- ed and sallied forth from the gates of St. Louls and St. John for an attack upon the American camp. The Americans immediately began to retreat in great disorder. Gen. | John Thomas, the American com mander, could assemble no more than 250 able bodied troops to oppose the | British. He ordered a withdrawal to ! Deschambault, 48 miles above this city. So hurried was the flight that quantities of supplies were left be- hind, including provisions, cannon, 500 muskets, camp equipment and most of the personal belongings of officers and men. Many of the men | escaped with only the clothing on | their backs. i | More than 200 American victims of | smallpox were left behind in the camp | hospitals. Any attempt to remove | them would have resulted in the cap- ture of the whole American force. | Some of the sick men left their beds | o and attempted to malke their escape, | even though destitute of clothing and blankets.
