~ Feminine Patriotism.
'%\",'omen have ever punctuated his-
toy with deeds that wOuld have em-
phasized them as heroes had not their
:5' x debarred them from active partici-
pition in the stirring events that have
been the rushing panorama of the Na‘
Lion’s upbuilding. Though they cannot
all, like Joan of Arc, lead on the bat-
ale-field, there is be... in them the po-
tent inspiring characteristic that stim-
ulates cowardice to valor in the men
who are brought in contact with them.
I In the present crisis it is noticeable
that the women of our land are par-tic-
udaurly strong in their sentiments, and
I are ready to do to the extremity all
that women can do, giving up those
they love to the needs of their country
and then serve it in that most trying of
all 10111113, in patiently waiting the re-
sult. '
Let us not disparage masculine pa-
icri‘otism, but is it not far easier to
march into a shower of enemies’ bul-
lets, to. the strains of martial music,
, than. to quietly abide at home torment-
ed by rumors, racked by newspaper
narratives and tortured by the abiding
thought that at any hour or any minute
savory precious life may be sacrificed
on the altar of her country ‘9 To fight
means actively—that is the man’s allot-
ment; to wait is the woman’s duty, and
though she may raise her voice loudest -
in “The Star Spangled Banner” and
bravely wave her handkerchief to the
departing soldier laddie, the girl he
leaves behind him must meet the reac-
tion that fOllows all the hurrah Of inde-
. pending war and learn that patience,
b after all, is the hardest yet one of the
.. truest forms of patriotism.
The Spread of the Curfew.
The curfew idea is spreading. Not
only in-the shape of laws that children
shall be off the street and at home at a
certain hour of, the night, but also in
other forms calculated to arrest atten-
tion and invite thought. One evidence
of: its existence in these .latter phases
appeared in. the announcement a little
while ago that the girls of Vassar Col-
Bege had rebelled against the rule that
{they should be in bed at 10 o’clock.
fi’hilc this injunction was based upon
the theory that early rising in youth is
likely to lay a good foundation fora
~xii-morons Old age, they protested at the
palpable contradiction that their days
would be lengthened by shortening
them. .
It is, however, with the general
aspect of .the curfew that present and
llilhll'e generations are most concerned.
.‘A measure of this kind cannot be intro-
duced to our modern complex civiliza-
tion without varied and widespread re-
sults. It is not alone powerful in its
bearing on material circumstances,
Amt likewise touches what is of far more
eonsequence. the moral side of our na-
tional existence.
' The more obvious of these influences
need not be discussed. But the effect
ofuurl‘ew laws on Line latch-key is an-
other thing. This little implement for
years past has been regarded as a re-
flection of our free institutions and per-
sonal liberty. Consequently, as by in-
direction the curfew strikes at its very
existence, it is worth while to inquire
what its possible abolition or desuetude
may involve.
, No statistics are attainable that give
the number of homes in the land where
the female head of the house holds
"that the carrying of this locksmith’s
, .mutrivance is the bane of domestic
. comfort, but the tot II is no doubt con-
siderable. Assuming‘that the curfew
motion spreads,lit Si tply means. the
growing up of a generation of‘boys and
girls to whom the latchkey will be un-
known. They will then be necessarily
In a position, when it comes to marry-
ing, to decide in their own experience
whether it really is the mar-joy of wed-
ded bliss that some of its opponents de-
clare it is. In other words, it may
prove to be the key to the problem of
how to be happy though married, and
all through the agency of the curfew.
Feminine Chat.
It has never been decided when they
meet which is the more frightened, the
woman or the mouse. .
Why is it that the_shady side of the
street is so very cool these days and
the sunshiny side of the street car so
awfully hot ‘.’
It is a rarity to meet a woman who
works whose parents at one time were
not wealthy beyond the dreams of
avarice. .
The very much beruflled skirt si
lovely in the ball room or carriage,
but it looks woefully out of place on the
street.
A woman cannot go very far wrong
in the matter of dress who sticks to
black and white always.
Judging by the things that are, it
would seem that men’s clubs are invent
ed solely as a basis for excuses to their
wives.
How easy it is for a man to pack up
and run away either for a day or a
month. With a woman it means a.
task Of gigantic proportions.
What man wears patent leather shoes
with russet tips and heels. Someone
displayed in the windows of fashionable
bootmakers.
Some men are so usedto women that
are fllppant and frothy that when they
get hold of a really honest one they do
not know how to treat her.‘
The actual physical pain that one un-
dergoes when a face to face encounter
with some special atom of’humanity oc-
curs- proves that love is in reality a
trouble of the heart, though this term
has been generally regarded as a simile.
The spring instinct : shows forth
most c0nvincingly in tops and skipping
ropes.
Persons of genuinely good breeding
never talk so loud in the theatre that
their conversatiou can annoy those who
have come to enjoy the performance.
You may know a man doesn’t mean
half the complimentary things he says
to you—but you like to hear him say
them just the same, that is, if you are
anything like nine of every ten of the
average women we all know.
It is perfect nonsense to argue on the
subject of love affairs from a personal
standpomt, as every individual has
ideas on that subject that can never be
understood by the outsider doing a lot
of speculating as to the reason of the
very palpable attraction.

The funeral of Mary C., widow of the
late Rev. Lewis Pennell will take place
in Southport this afternoon. The
deceased was 82 years of age and had
a number of friends in this city.
One of the sad sights on West avenue
yesterday afternoon was a woman in a

Fill a bottle or common glass with

hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
