Tonight, at the Broadway high school, there will be evening devoted to girls and women who work—and all 4 who work have contributed materially to the suc- cess of America’s national program. The affair is arranged by the war community service board as a “get-together” event. It is a well-worth-while undertaking in view of the of working out plans for more “get-together” even- and more consistent recreational opportunities for the who works, When we remember all the things the Hun # ies * did in this country before we entered the war, it Woes a peculiar pleasure to reflect that the cost of their activities must now be added to an already overwhelm- ing weight of taxation. One reason why the high cost of living kee ¢ jump ahead of us is because our dauighters i aon quired the habit of wearing silk where it doesn’t show. Having abolished horrid atrocities, it is only fair that we should liberate our own boys who were al 20 years in prison for impudence. e A_man’s success goes to his head because that is the only vacant place on the premises, ‘The kind of work that soils the hands very seldom a that wantonness cannot even imita Granted, that’ we may not love the “plain” woman for her plainnees, yet we love her virtues, We do not love beauty more because it has been tarnished.

Last week I was obliged to go to Seattle to help my sister, who was ill.

I at once notified the conductor, who, discovering that there was nothing to do, immediately did it. At any rate I was obliged to get off the car without knowing whether my purse was etill on or not. I notified the officials of the company and the police station. I even inserted advertisements in two of the leading newspapers, but with no results, My purse contained about $30 in currency and silver, besides tickets to Bremerton, stamps, receipts, and a letter containing my name and address. If the guilty person had repented and desired to return it, he would have had ample opportunity to do so, I have always believed in charity and any other 00d cause, but I absolutely don’t favor the idea of having my money deliberately taken from me.
