Wood is also hard to get. The New Paris chapter of the Red Cross society now has 643 members and added zest has been given the allday sewings at headquarters.

- A QUrET HOUR AT HOME "Well, old girl, what sort of day did you have?" Dickv's cheerv Toice cama like a
fresh breeze through the stale air of
a closed room. I had been brooding all the afternoon. The discourtesy and ingratitude of the woman across the
hall, and my experience with Harry
Underwood on the omnibus had depressed me. I had sat pretending to read, but in reality idly thinking ever since I had come back from my unpleasant bus ride. I had eaten no luncheon for we had breakfasted so late, and this was the first -time I had seen Dicky since morning. "A perfectly horrid day, Dicky. Oh! but I'm glad to seeyou!" I clung to him as ne kissed me. He evidently read my need of his sympathy, for he picked me up and carried me to our armchair, and sat down; gathering me close to him, and smoothing my hair. "Now tell me all about it," he said.
"Get it out of your system and you'll feel better." I had to decide swiftly how much I should tell him of Harry Underwood's annoying persistence In seeking my society. I knew Dicky's unreasoning jealousy. I did not wish to arouse it if I could possibly handle the situation myself. I made up my mind to hold my tongue concerning his friend's
ridiculous action ior a JUition bv attending, with Mrs. Wil

the hall," I began. A Comforting Hour "Why, what did they do? Were they rude to you?" Dicky bristled at the mere idea of rudeness to me. "I'll tell you all about it, and you can judge for yourself." So for the second time I retailed the
petty little story of the rudeness of my neighbor across the hall. "By Jove!" Dicky ejaculated when I had finished. "I never heard anything to equal that We saved her baby's life among us, and she considers it a bore to meet you. Well! I guess the next nursemaid who rushes in here with a dying infant will be told to beat it to the nearest hospital." I could not help but smile at Dicky's Indignation and his way of expressing lt-'"rn m all about It. this minute."
"There couldn't anything like that
happen again. It is too strange an occurrance to come more than once." "I should hope so." Dicky's tone was still wrathful. "Let us forget all about It. I'm sure I never want to think about it again." "All right. What did you do when you walked away like a tragedy queen?" "Nearly walked into an automobile and had my life saved by a policeman." I smiled at the recollection. "What! You're joking, Madge!" "Indeed, I'm not, but there wasn't any danger, I think, even if the policeman did scold me." He listened quietly until I had finished, then took me by the shoulders and shook me playfully, yet the grip rf Ma Tinnrtn hurt me. But I did not
mind for both the clasD of his hands
and his scolding words warmed my
heart with the message or love ana rnnrpm for me thev betrayed.
"rirtn't ovpr. ever do such a thlnE
again," he said. "What do you think
Tcmiid become of me if anything should
hanoen to you? I don't want to think
or talk of it" He shook his shoulders as if throw in? off the memory of the occurrence.
"T bone you had a pleasant ride. It
surely should have been a dandy to make up for the rest of the morning." I smiled grimly to myself at the ,atfiii msmorv of the ride. But I
must not let Dicky suspect the truth. "The ride was well enough," I said indifferently. "Mr. Underwood boarded the bus a few blocks after I did and rode a number of blocks with me. He is rather tiresome, don't you think so?" Dicky looked at me keenly. "Not many women say that about
him," ho replied.
been held in Washington this season. What is meant by stripping ourselves of all save necessities is the dispensing with that which Is foolish, all the vain trappings of wealth, glittery display calling for many mansercants and expensive entertaining. There is no call to dispense with what is serious nor with what has a definite place in bolstering the national fiber, the will to win. Music has. So have other forms of entertainment. They make the people more contented with the hard lot which war always brings. There is a clear call for the theater to maintain itself, as well as the opera house and concert hall. A patriotism which calls upon the people to mortify themselves by disnpnisin? with Deace-time entertaln-
