Tearn how to gracefully use your arms
Never reserve or postpone the proper use
of them until you have on a best gown
and think that at that time a special ges
ture can be brought out to go with the
gown and allure. Such a species of arti
ficiality is always detected
Watch the hands when eallnc Hoarse
ways of handling food, holding the teacup, i
lifting a spoon, are just a repellent as un
pleasant mum hlngs or mouthing. Klbows
that are allowed to protrude while eating
are also ungraceful.
Never grasp a piece of bread or morsel
of fruit as though it were about to escape,
and the same degree of pol;-o should be at
tained In other motions.
In shaking hands the woman is put to a
greater ordeal than a man: heartiness on
hin part goes a long way. but a woman
who Is overhearty in her hand clasp is
dubbed "mannish." which is a title that
not even the "woman's rignter" aspires to.
It Is often the case that women and men
shake bands holding the hanls Bldewise, I
but correctly the man should put his hand
out palm up and tin- woman put hers Into it

a proper hand shake, by the way. Is better
than the unmeant ' peck" kiss, for love

whether between men and women or Just
women.

r' ripening of hostilities be-
'-jhj fure ever our country made
'yJiw lts entrance ,nto the war,
- ' - t- Bhe was already training In
a hospital and hoping that some day she
mllii be of real service to humanity.
Then the United States was called to
defend democracy, and sho worked and
studied harder than ever, for she realized
that her country mlprbt soon be In need of
rvloes And nt last she graduated,
and nuro enough the call came sooner than
sho expected, and she was thrilled with
Lh . thought of becoming a Red Cross
nurse
And then, suddenly, without any warn
ing, a great tragedy enmc Into her life,
and she found that if sho rntcred the ser
vice of her country she must prove delin
quent to her duties at home.
I DIFFICULT DECISION.
; . t.
It was a very hard decision for her to
make. Indeed, it was too hard, and so she
went to an old friend of her father a g n-n-al
lii ili nrmy ond told hlrn her trouble.
Perhaps she was a bit rebellious, for she
said:
"I do not see why I should cle up every
thing 'nd stay at home. I have studied
and worked so hard for this very thing,
and now my country needs me and I feel
that I must serve, and yet I don't know
what to do. "
And tie re m looked at her squarely and
said:' We don'' want an slackers in tlu
army." Hurt to the quick, the girl's eyes filled
with tears, her cheeks crimsoned and a
hot retort trembled on her Hps. But the
old general laid his hand on her shoulder.
"My dear," he said, "you know as well
as I do where your duty lies. You must
decide this thing for yourself But I want
to tell you this: Don't think for a minute
that those who are wearing the uniform
uf the soldier or the sailor or the Red Cross
nurse are serving their country any more
bravely than thousands who are working
at home It is not where you work, but
how you work.
"Your duty lies right here, it seems to
me, but yoj will have some time of your
lown You can do a tremendous work for
your country tight In the Red Cross rooms
That was many months ago. but that
girl has never served her country abroad.
I 'erhaps she never will. But she Is serving
dall at home The mornings are filled
with home duties, but in the afternoons,
when another nurse is able to take, her
place there, she is off on other work.
One of the hardest lessons we hav to
lenrn when we are young is the lesson
of sacrifice. We want so to do our
work In our own way, to enlist ourselves
with our ssmpathles. But. we cannot al
ways do that.
The dlimity of labor is being brought
home to us all. A very talenteJ woman,
writing the other day to a friend, said
I have come to the conclusion that
nono of us can really live to the fullest
unless we work with our hands. It was
' a lone time hefori T lnrrr-H thlo hnt T
am beginning to reaJIze more and more
the value of hard work."
And that is true No matter bow bril
liant we may be, how talented, how given
to helpful thought or Inspirational ideals,
unless we work these ideas out In some
form, unless wc make these talents live
through the work of the hands, they will
be of little enduring value.
The wonderful thint: Is that we always
get so much more out of the work than
wo put into it. That Is really the only
enduring payment that we do recelve--tbe
Joy of the task, the glory of accom-nllshmenf
I DUTY THAT LIES NEAREST.
4 ,
The United States has plenty of money.
But there are two things it lacks food
and labor. Wo must take care of these,
hoard these, if victory Is to be ours.
So. if you cannot serve your country aa
a nurse or an ambulance driver or la
some other service at the front or at
the nation's capital, do not think for
one minute that you cannot help.
You can servo if you live in the back
woods just as well as if you live in the
city, for we can all do some useful work,
and if we are faithful to the charge that
lies nearest to us we shall have the satis
faction of knowing that we have helped
to win this war Just as much as if we
had been fighting across the soa.
