MOTHERS GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN DRESSMAKING

Where Philadelphia Grown-Ups are Taught Dressmaking

! A surprisingly large number of women in Philadelphia, as in other big cities, don’t know how to make dresses or trim hats. One of the activities which Community Service has started in the Pennsylvania metropolis is a scries of night classes where women can learn these things together with* other domestic arts. The women meet in a public school, sit at the desks like regular pupils arid find the blackboard a great help in the ctudy of patterns. Simple garments for the children form the first objects of study for the be'rinners. With a little girl as model,

with the blackboard patterns, a tape measure, and an efficient teacher, the class is making rapid progress. “So that’s the way to cut out a shoulder!” sighed one mother in relief when the first demonstration ended, “I never could make ’em come together right under the arm.” ‘'And that’s a button-hole, is it?” said another, “Well, it won’t ever bother me again, for sure.” It looks as though any number of Philadelphia children were going to be dressed more inexpensively and more prettily—and more easilyr-than ever - before. ‘ /

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

WHITE MAN

By George Agnew Chamberlain

Author of " Through Stained Cleas.” "Jehu Bogardua.” etc.

SYNOPSIS. * CHAPTER I.—Andrea Pellor, handsome daughter of Lord Pellor, impecunious aristocrat, is doomed to marry an Illiterate but wealthy middle-aged diamond mine owner. She disconsolately wanders from her hotel in South Africa and discovers an aviator about to fly from the beach. Impulsively, of course imagining that the trip will be merely a pleasant excursion, and a welcome relief from thoughts of her Impending loveless mar-, rlage, she begs to be taken for a flight, although she does not know him. He somewhat unwillingly agrees, and they start. CHAPTER H-When she realizes her unknown aviator is not going back Andrea in desperation tries to choke him with one of her stockings. He thwarts her and they sail on Into the very heart of Africa. Landing in an immense craal, Andrea finds the natives all bow in worship to her mysterious companion. She is given a slave boy, "Bathtub, and the White Man sets about building a hut for her.

. CHAPTER IV. The heat of the day had quite passed. Andrea felt of her arms. They were soft and cool. She laid them on the table and studied them as though she never had noticed them before. She was thinking that all her fright had died away. She was alone with a man, alone by over a hundred miles and yet —never had she felt less lonely, more secure. She threw up her head, turned to her companion with a smile and said, “I’ve decided not to sulk, White Man. Tell me what your philosophy will do for me if I give it a tryout." The man drew a long breath of relief, examined the ash of his cigar and flicked it off. “First of all,” he began, “it will lift a fever from you, the fever of hastening from one little thing to another. Look back and tell me if your memories aren’t all stock varieties ; I mean don’t they all fall into set'"and dry classifications?” “I understand,” said Andrea. “You mean they are all chucked into about six bins like staples at a grocery.” He gave her a look of undisguised admiration. “I mean exactly that. My philosophy will give you the secret of the happy idle hour. Never again can a city or a great house quite smother you, for it will be in your power to sit spellbound, your eyes fixed ten thousand miles away on a girdle of high-peaked huts, or black women pounding millet, pot-bellied pickanins at play, a blotch of bronze statues taking an hour off from pose and chanting the news of the hour.” “And an airplane,” added Andrea, “trying to push two surprised huts out of the .way.” The man made an impatient gesture. “There you go,” he exclaimed, “pouncing, claws out, on the one personal element 1” “Why!” cried Andrea, eyes innocently wide. “What’s personal about an airplane?” * He looked at her grimly and ignored the trap. “It will give you things to think about,” he cohtinued, “and when you have them you’ll no longer be afraid of thought in itself, and when you are freed of that fear you will find that sincerity ceases to be conversational bad taste. It become! rather a weapon, the only probe that can pierce the armor of individuals, for of course you know that efery personality wears a shell, thick or thin, close-joined or loose.” She turned her eyes and looked him up and down fleetingly. “What else will your philosophy do for me?” she asked. “What else?” he repeated. “It will make you gloriously independent—reduce you to the three elements of content —health, honor and an inner flame.”

“Let’s begin with the inner flame,” she suggested. “It sounds mystic.” “But it isn’t,” he replied. “It’s the most practical thing in the world. Ambition, illusion, youth, are a few of its commoner appellations, but the one that comes nearest to imprisoning it in a phrase is, breath of life.” Andrea studied him almost impatiently ; inwardly she was rebelling trftnendously at finding herself so continually interested by one who was even at the moment calmly doing her a great wrong. If he had spoken as didactically about his precious philosophy she would have found herself at once; but he hadn’t. In that point more than in any other lay the charm —charm? Well, call it charm, anyway, of this unusual male. Having thought the matter out with a view to hearing him browse some more, she said, “Can’t you bring it. a little nearer?” ‘Til try,” he answered after a pause. “Breath of life is that quality which holds back a man from marrying for money and urges another to the desertion of wife and children because he’s bored, that makes a preacher leap from the pricking pinnacle of dogma to the heart of the Red Light district and his .own destruction, that leads the

king-boM of the herd to fmplllent paths of lonely meditation. In short, it’s the perpetual vigilance of self at the apparent risk of the souL” “Sort of sublimated egoism," remarked Andrea. “Selfishness, you mean?” He shook his head. "It’s not even on that plane;, it’s so much over It that selfishness as a quality Is merely one of the pebbles on the beach below it that the sea has been grinding dowft to uniform characteristics for a hundred years. Alive, it’s a flame; dead, it doesn’£ even leave a corpse.” Andrea yawned. “Now honor,” she said. , “Won’t yos talk a little?” said the man. “Defining Is a great game and I don’t want to hog all the fun. Speak for your class. What’s honor?” Andrea thought for a minute; then she smiled. "With women, it’s keeping anywhere this side of the Rubicon.” She paused. “And with men?” he urged. “With men it’s the art of not get ting caught.” “Capital 1” he exclaimed. “Yes,” she murmured. "I thought you would like those answers.” He stared at her, but she kept her face innocent of malice. “Now tell me what honor really Is.” , t “I believe you jcould have told me,” he answered, "except fpr the fact that your exceptionally good taste bars sincerity. It’s what is left of morality when you’re sure no one is looking.” Andrea stifled another yawn. "Some of the things you say,” she gasped, “are almost clever enough for a book to read in bed.” “I beg your pardon. I’m sorry,”, said the man and clapped his hands loudly. A bundle under the tree, wrapped up head and all in a blanket, resolved itself fnto Bathtub rubbing sleep out of his eyes; arose, seized a rope on a pulley and hauled. The circular mosquito net rolled up from about the table. "Will you go to your room and tell me if you have everything?” asked the man. “Everything necessary, I mean.” Andrea reached for a fresh cigarette. “Don’t be absurd,” she said. “I’m not going to bed for hours.” She glanced

“I'm Not Going to Bed for Hours.”

at him with a sort of diffident look, as though she were about to give away a secret. “When I yawn, always keep on talking. It means I’m —I’m tiree. You know.” “D your society tricks,” remarked the man. ‘Tm going.” He arose and turned his back on her. Before he had taken three strides her voice came to him and in it was a new quality, a sure maturity. “Go if you like,” she said evenly, “but I shall sit here until you come back.” H® turned at once, a flush jn his cheeks. “Forgive me,” he said simply, struck a match and held it for her. “Now health,” said Andrea. “Don’t you think I’m reasonably healthy already?” “No,” said the man, “until you’ve wolfed a whole meal and grabbed chicken with your fingers, you don’t really know what bodily health means. God has given you such beauty of skin that you owe It to every eye that caresses itself with a sight of you to keep it without blemish, and yet you sit there and ask me if you’re not reasonably healthy, with a spot on your cheek.” “Oh!” cried the girl. A sea of sudden color swirled about her neck, up into her face and down over one-half the length of her bare arms. She threw up a hand to her, cheek and pressed it there. Her eyes were aflame. “If ever I can hurt you—” she said slowly, “if —ever —I—can —” The man looked surprised; then contrite and finally grave. “Let me asstire you,” he said, “that you will Inevitably have it in- your power.” , “I’ll not forget when that day comes,” she said and arose. With her hand still pressed to her face, she hurried from him across the kraal into her room and slammed and barred the door behind her. She went straight to the mirror and took her hand away. Such a trifle that tiny spot had seemed last night, the night of a party—just an excuse for a beauty patch of black

plaster—and tonight it was immeasurably ugly 1 With bed so near she could not stop to cry j4bt yet. She went about her preparation deliberately, subconsciously secure in the thought that she could 'soon soak her pillow Iq aching comfort. Throughout her npaneuverlng 1 she was aware of a presence in the room, Inanimate but terrifyingly personal. However she turned, it still lurked In the copier of her eye, accused her of dallying and almost said aloud, “Eventually! why not now?” Finally she slipped off the rest of her dainty clothes and with eyes screwed tight shut, groped for th* presence, seized it and put it on in two parts. “Ohl” she gasped in a rage, “that I should have to wear that beast’s silk pajamas!” She put out .the light, hurled herself at the cot, curled up like a kitten, drew the sheet over her head, cuddled into the pillow and sobbed, “Poor Andrea! Poor Andrea Pel—Pe—” Brutal, elemental sleep had choked the words in her throat There is no telling when Andrea would have awaked had it not been for Bathtub, who thundered on her door at the scandalously late hour in that clime of eight In the morning. “Bath ready, Missis! Bath ready, Missis!” he was chanting monotonously. She arose, put on her cloak, opened the door and rubbed her eyes at the shock of a noonday glare. The boy grinned from ear to ear. "Bath ready!" he exclaimed with a happy finality and bearing towels and soap led her to the newly constructed little hut in the yard. He placed the paraphernalia on, a chair set close to a collapsible canvas tub and from a neighboring smoldering fire fetched a big tin of water. “Hot water!” cried Andrea. “Why, Fm boiling myself. Bring me cold water.” “Cold water no good,” affirmed Bathtub as he emptied the tin.

PUT COLLEGE SAVINGS CLUBS IN ALL THE HIGH SCHOOLS

Seventh District W. S. S. Organization to Aid Children Build Up Fund for Education. College Savings clubs in all the high schools of the. Seventh district is the aim of the War Savings educational committee, of which Shailer Mathews Is the chairman. This new plan was decided upon at a recent meeting of the committee at the Chicago headquarters. The object is to get high school students to prepare for a college education through saving and investment in War Savings stamps. To secure special training in a college, technical school, nonnab school, professional school or university costs money, but regular saving by high school students will open the way for any boy or girl of determination. Money can be earned after school, on Saturdays and during the vacation periods. Some boys and girls have an allowance from parents. Frequently they receive cash gifts. This money put into Thrift and War Savings stamps will work for the high school students while they are getting their preliminary education. • Mrs. Alfred J. Benson, manager of the division of schools and churches for Illinois, strongly urged the keeping of a personal account by children. She points out that there are three sources of income for the school child. They are individual earnings, allowances by the parents and gifts. Some system of individual accounts for school children may be worked out by the committee later. The normal schools and teachers* colleges of the district will receive the attention of the committee. An effort will be made to have Thrift courses put in both these classes of educational institutions at once. At the meeting of the committee were: Shailer Mathews, chairman; E. U. Graff of Indianapolis; J. V. McNally, Detroit; Thomas Boyce, Milwaukee ; Mrs. P. O. Altman, Detroit; Mrs. Alfred J. Benson, and Albert Boswell, manager of sales. (TO BE CONTINUED)
