The furniture was ugly. You remember the black, slippery hair-cloth stuff that covered the parlor suite in your grandmother's home? young bride found in the cottage. : She covered it with cheerful, flowered cretonne, which wrought a miracle in the appearance of the “paradi * and together they worked at odd hours, making bright pieces of furniture—for they hadn't much money, and they were fond of inventing all kinds of useful things, and some that weren't very useful, but which put more cheer into their cottage home. And soon all the ugliness disappeared and only happy looking things could be seen. : It seemed like playing at living, because nothing was taken too sefiously ; at least, it seemed so, because there was always a smile and a laugh and a kiss, no matter what hap- med. a But, oh! how much more happiness there was in that little cottage near the sea shore than there was in the big house on the hill, where everything was finished and done by a dozen servants, and where money was the cheapest thing in the world! And where love never entered—nor the joy of make-believe and pretending! ; No wonder heaven is pictured as “home.” And it's home because it’s built om love; the same kind of love that was the foundation of the “paradise a deux.” Nerve Rampage The reason you think you can afford to go off on a “nerve rampage” is because there’s no one to “fire” you. Of course, you know that if you were in business, or, being in business, you were directly under an exacting boss, you would not dare permit your nerves to run away with ‘ou. - You'd conquer, or at least repress, your feelings. But now, it’s ONLY your husband or wife, or perhaps the children—and you're in your own home. But, mark you, it's more perilous to lose the respect of your wife or husband than it is to lose your job! | And you can’t hold the respect of your family if you fly into a rage just because they are helpless, or because you think they are! And the damage you do yourself is infinitgly greater than that done to them. weakened and your “morale” is made flabby. y, don’t you think it rather cowardly to take Anywa: : advantage of the helplessness or the love of your family?) You wouldn’t treat any one else so meanly. Right From the Front “When one has chatted with a gentleman unafraid, who lost both legs while engaged in the gentle art of bomb- ing a German dug-out, one is likely to be impatient with the earnest persons who wish to deprive the soldier of his ” There are 40 words of solid truth. The whole ques- tion couldn’t be covered better. “B. L. T.” in the Chicago Tribune fires off this big one and it thoroly demolishes those “earnest persons” who are trying to interfere with the splendid enterprise of send- ing smokes to our men abroad. The soldier must have his cigaret and his pipe, and anything else in the civilized world that we can send him —to help him along. That’s what our Tobacco Fund is for. We started it because we believed that our readers would jump at the chance to do something real. Ang they did. Contributions started at once, with a rush, the day we made our first announcement. News and Views For four years, the United Press led the world in war news. Compared with any other agency, day by day, the United Press has been unsurpassed for reliability, integ- rity, and good faith. That it should have had the misfor- tune to be tipped off wrong by the commander of the Amer- ican navy in French waters, is, of course, regrettable. The Star printed the cable in good faith. And, for a score of years, The Star’s good faith has been tested. When it has views, it has honest views. It does not temporize with crooks and shady characters. It does not go into politics for personal aggrandize- ment. It has never asked favor of any public officials. has never gone into any secret agreements with them for any purpose whatever. What it has to say, The Star says in public—right out in the open. The Star has always been, and always will be, inde- pendent. While it had no way of controlling the message sent out by the United Press the other day, it CAN, and WILL, control its own local, state and national views. No one else will control them. No party bunk from republicans or democrats or other source will sway it from doing the right thing. No Special Interests of any kind, high or low, control The Star. To be honest with public interests, The Star has been always pledged, and will remain so pledged. The Star is proud of the record that it has never be- trayed public welfare. Can any other Seattle paper point to such a record for 20 years consistently? can : Good news with a string to it! Fuel Director Gar- field says the danger of fuel famine is over—but—keep on sifting the ashes! The reindeer has been known to pull 200 pounds at a ten-mile pace for 12 hours. Santa Claus must be the one who established that record! Wilhelm says he wants to lead the Faderland in peace, as well as in war. But Bill will probably have another guess coming. Don't be a piker. With war drawing to a close, think of the boys in France. They will need your help for some time to come—and the way to help is to con- tribute to the United War Work Campaign. Vorwaerts is mistaken. will the kaiser do?” It is: kaiser?” That back-action boche brand of logic will try to pretend it’s a victory, no matter how crushing the de- feat.
