The Vanity Shop of Style and Personality WOMEN 1 NOW HAVE CHANCE KOVK THEIR AVOKTII From all sides women arc charged with being oblivious to the fact, that there is a war going on. Husbands say they have the greatest difficulty in making their -wives understand that life cannot go on as usual, that there are cerain tilings that are just not being done or won't be done for the duration. From all these charges of little and big sins, one cannot but form the opinion that there are many utterly selfish, pleasure-loving women who, unless they are personally toLicheil rjy the war, have no difficulty in forgetting all about it. These are the women who just love to entertain soldiers or sailors of course.

They extend hospitality to such as lend social prestigc to their dinners or who come In a ndy a personable as corts and have "rhythmic feet." as one woman requested her guests to have. The women who are doing useful war work are more chagrined than the men because of the social, likewise asinine, attitude of the nitwit females who just hate to think about the war, and don't. Uniform Crazy There's no question about the asolinc shortage bringing the stern ealities of life more vividly to such than anything, not exclud- ng Pearl Harbor. What is there bout war that so completely turns frivolous woman's head? Is it se uniform? Could be because they ot only act pretty silly about men i uniform, but sillier about don- uniforms. A uniform Ls not list another change of costume; it lands for something.

No one who las not earned the right- to wear ne should be allowed to do so. We an't afford to have women running bout making themselves absurd by vesting some sort of a military- ooking- costume that has no meali- ng, being unnecessary. Women have a marvelous oppor- unity now to prove their worth. 'he serious, capable ones will help he cause of womanhood by re- nikhig the vain nnd frivolous ones vho look upon war as new and xclling sort of game in which the vorking class fight and the social- tcs play. We all know such dim-wit einales and resent them quite as much as men do Setting Ratl Example Husbands who complain of their 'amily's attitude toward the serious situation we are all in are appalled at the case with which some women discount Die war and its effects on way of living It Ls curious that so-called imaginative sex should je so incapable of realizing the fact that this country Is at var.

Naturally, the families have men in camps, or at the front, arc gainfully aware of the war, bul hose who are untouched, except tn pockets, especially their hus- jands' pockets, seem to think that are keeping up morale, when is a matter of fact they are de- it by setting a bad example Women who would never dream of scraping up a conversation with a strange civilian, chatter like magpies to good-looking, and utterly defenseless, officers who happen to sit beside them In bus or strec car: They even Invite them home to dinner, or to go dancing, nil un der the giiise of patriotism It is al very much to the amusement anc embarrassment of the aforesaid handsome officers, or for that matter-the nice doughtboy, he happens to be approached Women should let the war go tr their hearts, not their heads Mrs. Craivford of Leivisville Dies Special to Record-Chronicle: LEWISVILLE, June Nannie Ellen Crawford, 42, wife of Frank Crawford, died at 5:30 a. m.
