SA (“The Maid of Orleans,” of course, is but another name for Joan of Arc, fa- mous as the girl-leader of the soldiers who saved France. She is a French heroine. She was born in 1412, and died in 1431.) It was just at the dawn of day, when the first rays of morning were breaking over Europe and dispelling the dark- ness of the Middle Ages. France and England were engaged in a desperate struggle, the one for existence, the other for a throne. All the western part of France had avowed the English cause, and the English King had been proclaimed in Paris, at Rouen and at Bordeaux, while the strongly fortified city of Orleans, the key to the French possessions. was besieged. The thunder and lightning of the battlefield are bad enough, but the starvation and pestilence of a besieged city are infinitely worse. The supplies of Orleans were exhausted: the garri- son was reduced to a few desperate men, and the women and children had been abandoned to the English. But far away on the .order of Ger- many, in the little village of Domremy, the Nazareth of France, God was ruis-‘ ing up a deliverer for Orleans, a savior | for the nation ‘The outdoor life of a peasant girl had | given to Joan of Arc a well-developed | form, while the beauties of her soul | and the spiritual tendencies of her na- | ture must have given to her face that womanly beauty that never fails to win respect and love. Her standard was a banner of snowy silk; her weapon a sword, that from the day she first drew it from its scabbard until she finally laid it down upon the grave of St. Denis, was never stained with blood; and her inspiration was a self-sacrificing devo- tion to the will of God, to the rights of France and her king. Without a single opposing shot she passed under the very battlements of the besieging, English, and entered Orleans with soldiers for empty forts and food for starving people. 1t needed no eloguent speech to incite the men of Orleans to deeds of valor and of vengeance. The ruins of their homes choked the streets: the desolated city was one open sepulcher, while the cries of half-starved children and the walls of heart-broken mothers, stirred them to such a mad frenzy of enthu- siasm, that now, since a leader come. they would have rushed headlong and thoughtlessly against the English forts as into a trap of death. And now the attack was planned and the lines were formed; and then as the crumbling walls of the city echoed back the wild shouts of the Orleanites, the maid of Domremy, waving her sword aloft and followed by her snowy banner, led her Frenchmen on to slaughter and | to victory. Then from the English | archers ‘came flight after flight of swift- winged arrows, while the wild catapults threw clouds of death-laden stores crashing among the French. Broadsward and battle-ax clashed | on shield and helmet, while the wild | horses, mad with rage and pain. rushed with fierce vells upon the foe; but ever above the din and noise of battle, above death shouts and saber strokes; though the dust and smoke obscured her ban- ner, ever could be heard the clear, ring- ing voice of their leader, shouting for victory and for Prance. An arrow pierced the bosom of Joan of Arc, but drawing it out with her own hand and throwing it aside, she showed the French her blood-stained corselet, and once more urged them on. As GEBEER when the Archangel Michael, leading the heavenly cohorts, forced the rebel- lious angels to the very brink of hell, then hurled them over and so saved the throne of heaven, so did the maid of Orleans, leading on frenzied French- men, press back the English step by step, and slaughtered rank by rank till the whole army turned and fled. and Orleans was free and France was safe. And now her work was done. Would that some kindly voice had bade her now go home to tend the sheep and roll their white wool on her distaff. But she who had raised the siege of |- Orleans and led the way to Rheims could not escape a jealous Yate. The Duke of Burgundy had laid siege to Compiegne. Joan of Arc went to the rescue and was repulsed, and while bravely fighting in the rear of her re- treating troops fell prisoner to the recreant French and was sold by them to the English. For one long year she languished in her prison tower. Her keepers insulted her and called her a witch, and when in desperation she sprang from the tower and was taken up insensible they loaded her poor body with chains and two guards stayed in her ccll day and night. Her trial. came, but her doom was already s>aled. The Bishop of Beauvais with a hundred doctors of theology were her judges. Without a particle of evidence against her they convicted her of sorcery and sentenced her to be burnt at the stake. A howl of fiendish joy went up from the bloodthirsty court of Paris—a howl of fiendish joy that made its' way to every battlefield where she had fought; it rang against the rescued walls of Orleans, and was echoed to the royal court of Rheims; it reached the bottom- less pit and made the imps of Satan dance with glee; it echoed through the halls of Heaven and made the angels weep, but there was no rescuer for the helpless girl. Even the gladiator forced into the fight against his will when fallen in the arena, his sword broken and the enemy’'s knee upon his breast, might yet hope for “thumbs up” and mercy from the hard-hearted Roman spectators, But not a single hand was raised to save the maid of Domremy, the savior of Orleans. Had she not faithfully done her work? Had she not bled for them? Had she not saved the kingdom? And in all chivalrous France was there not a champion to take up the gauntlet in defense of a helpless girl? ‘When she led their armies, their spears blazed in heaven's sunlight; now they would quench them in her blood. ‘With scarcely time to think of death she was hurried away to the public square and chained to the stake, and | when the fagots were fired. more pain- ful than the circling flames, she heard the mocking laugh of the angry crowd. Higher and higher rose the flames until, pressing the cross to her heart, her unconscious head sank upon her bosom, and her pure spifit went up amid the smoke and soared away to heaven. - Garage for Women Only. A garage for the sole use of woman autoists has just been opened by women in London. A club devoted to feminine needs is a feature.

A girl may not crave flat- tery, but she can stand a certain amount of appreciation. 1 mean that a girl likes to hear some audible remarks from the man who is calling or taking her out. She doesn't expect him to observe every item of her apparel, although in_thew days that wouldn't take long. But she does like to have him note and feel th: general effect, the ensemble. ‘The reason why a girl likes to have her tollette appreciated is because she put it on for that purpose. Her grand motive is expression with the big “X.” Dress is her art, and every girl imagines she's playing a part in some sort of show. She may not expect applause or an applause-card, but she does like to have attention. Of course a man | doesn’t need to chatter though he were a cloak and suit salesman, but he might | say something about her frock In relation to her. He might tell her that her toque makes her look a little like Minerva with her helmet on. Or that the touch of trimming on it suggested a crown of laurel or wreath of bay leaves. This might make him cough, but it would be | worth trying, just for a change. That's all good stuff, although a| trifie heavy for the average boy-man.| But, anyhow, he could say that the| effect of her 1i'l' derby was such as to | give the impression that she was walk- ing in moonlight. For, you know, & woman is especially fond of compli- ments about her hats. | If a man doesn't feel at home among | such ideas, he could connect her pumps with some reference to Cinderella, but that story doesn't seem as sweet as it used to, before eertain people queered it. Cinderellas are a little to common. If he tells her that the rustle of her skirts suggests the melody of haunting | music, she’ll forget she got it at a bargain. But you mustn’t put too much French dressing on the salad, or it'll choke. Let your sweet patootie feel that you don't have to go to a show to see beauties. She wants you to love her togs as much as you love her. (Copyright, 1929.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. PARIS.—Wool georgette is more dress with a scarf collar which is a blouse. “War is hell.” is a saying credited to Sherman of Civil War fame. _Although none of the inhabitants of hell have ever feturned to tell us about it, we recognize the aptness of Sherman’s simile. What- | ever the place of torment may be, it is The most undesirable state conceived by | the imagination of man. Hence every- thing that reminds us of it or is asso- clated with horrible experiences is likened to hell. Whether Sherman was right or not the vast majority of people the world over are convinced that war it not de- | sirable and would avoid it if possible. | Why, then, do we continue wars? | Until recently the economic side has | been unduly stressed. It was said that o ? ) war is the result of desire for world | = 2%gg’f | | markets, the desire for possession of | | -} | | natural resources, the need for expan- | S sion, etc. We have come to see that the true reason is psychological. Fear and distrust of others is at {he‘ | bottom of all preparations for war. The fear and distrust of one nation reacts upon another and both begin to pre-{ pare. Envy and jealousy increase the | fear and distrust, and at the slightest provocation the two nations fly at each other’s throats. Profiteers and ambitious leaders who would enhance their power and pres- | tige capitalize the human elements in- volved—the fighting impuise, the emo- tional thrill of preparation for war and the intoxication of war itself. A nation at war is more self-conscious than at any other time. Many so-called statesmen have brought on wars with | outside nations in order to unite their | own country, maintain their own power and increase their personal prestige. That men have short memories of the horrors of war is another significant psychological tor. The dead are Alphabet Noodle Names.

Only the glory remains, and it is constantly ex- aggerated by the glowing tales of vic- tories and all the paraphernalia of military pomp. ‘The exploits of the war heroes are held up before the youth of the land who are thus enthused to emulate them and become heroes in their own right.

So successful were the new little pa- per napkins introduced last Summer that more novel style has been designed for your approval. Hostesses who have never used any- thing but linen on their tables are be- ing won over by these dainty little squares and feel that they may be of- fered to their most fastidious guests without apology. ‘With the warm Summer days, which | call for iced tea and lemonade, the op- | portunity for serving becomes more fre- quent than in Winter, and the large jamount of napkins required is amazing |and sometimes causes inconvenience if the supply is low. However, there need be no fear of embarrassment if a few boxes of these fine little crepe paper napkins are tuck- ed away among the linens. The boxes in which these are packed are attrac- tive and contain four dozens each, six colors being represented. The crepe pa- per from which they are made is of very fine quality and the edges are ruf- fled. They are 10 inches in size, and whether you want blue, rose, green, violet, yellow or cantaloupe, your wish may be gratified. (Copyright, 1929.)
