I used to think a garden must be the verv es sence of poetry.

We knew before about "puley," having read about Charles Dudley Warner's "Summer In a Garden Being women, we are denied the solace of the adjective warner applied to said "pusley." as I said beiore. "We really need rain." It Is several hours since we had any, and I feel anxious about my cucumbers. It is a mysterious provision of na ture that weeds grow Just as luxuri antly In one ldnd of weather as In another.

This Is one of many problems incomprehensible to mortal man and woman BARBARA ALLEN. A NEAT IDEA. There Is a neat bit of sentiment In the forming of an organization of British towns of which the Earl of Beau- champ is president, for the purpose of "adopting" American towns so as to make American soldiers feel at home. The people of Worcester have "adopted" Worcester, Mass, and will do all possible to see to the comfort of the boys hailing from the American city. Newport has "adopted" Newport, I The opportunity is almost limitless, for practically every city and town In England has its namesake in America And there Is Boston, by the way We Shall expect to find our own soldiers cheered by the solicitude of the good people of old "St.

Botolph's town" In Lincolnshire The friendliness between the two Bostons that has more than once been exhibited In the past should be all the more pronounced un der present circumstances.

One of the most feted and admired visitors to the 14th biennial convention, General Federation of Woman's Clubs, in Hot Springs in Mav, was Mrs. Mabel Potter Daggett, author of "Wo men Wanted." Mrs Daggett la a well known New York newspaper woman, who relin quished Journalism a few years ago along with single blessedness, and became a free lance. She has since been sent to Europe to study conditions of women She declares the work of federation and organization of women, religious and civic, has paved the way for their admirable war service.

"Women have come to stay In every field of usefulness from the arts to the crafts," Mrs. Daggett said over coffee cups one morning In Hot Springs Her recent book, Women Wanted," will be received with confidence and Interest by a host of readers who know the level-headedness and Judgment of the author. Mrs. Daggett spoke at the press luncheon and the press in Hot Springs, and was easily one of the most distinguished women of the conclave. New Orleans Times-Pioayune, JAPANESE WOMEN ARDENT RED CROSS WORKERS.

Few Americans realise how much Japan has done during this war for the Red Cross," says the Foreign Press bureau of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense. "Her Cross membership far exceeded ours in the early days of the war; and she maintained hospitals in England, France and Russia for a whole year. Just as we did. Like our own these hospitals to be given up for a time for lack of funds. After this, however, Japan subscribed and sent a minion dollars to the wounded of the allies, oe aiviaea pro rata among tnem.

In an editorial "Face the Facts" in the Boston Globe, Uncle Dudley tells us why we should buy War Savings Stamps. He says that "we must not lg- hlghly disagreeable. it aoes us no good, but real harm, to believe only that which we would like to believe, to allow the wish be the father of our thoughts." uncie Dudley continues thus-Now Is the time to flrtit. Anv re laxation now at home will be felt abroad In France the danger ever present is Mctory for the Germans The allies cannot afford to lose battles. They must win them.

Onlv the offen sive action, as Foch says, brings final victory The allies cannot place them selves In a position to make that of fensive unless each of the nations makes Its utmost effort, particularly the United States. That means that every man and woman In this nation must at present put their shoulders to the wheel to the limit of their power. "The time has come In this great conflict when we must face hard facts and stop all dealings In future at the expense of the present. Our future depends on what we do non. The Ger man offensive has already shown to us that the enemy is a mighty foe, well arwi, well led and backed by a people who are willing to make the greatest sacrifices Such a foe cannot bfl defeated unless we make the greatest possible effort and have the fortitude to -wait many months for victory.

It Is a long, hard road ahead of the American people, but they will suffer it tney maKe up tneir mina to face the facts now rather than a year from now. It is better to be pulded by hard facts than raise hopes. The best hope Is the recognition of the truth firm determination to overcome every difficulty. We must only be gulden by tne strength of the enemy and not his weaknesses, tn risning so much in tne present battle the German high commanders show that, in spite of misleading statements, they did not fall to recognise the strength of their enemy strength that Is coming across the Atlantic. They hurled their forces into a terrific battle In order to forestall The German high command does not act on fancied weaknesses of Its enemy.

The high command of the allies also does not make any such blunder. It is the people who are not face to face with the mighty foe that cannot see the hard facts If you have not bought War Savings Stamps In the present drive, these facta should lead yeu so to do. A LAST ME88AGE. Almost the dying message of Pastor Charles Wagner, author of "The simple life," is this, "When they have covered the earth with blood and ruins, they show us in one hand a glittering sword and in the" other the symbol of peace. It is against such a peace that we ought to make war.

Never has a more sacred duty rested with the men of any age." It soon will be cold enough for tha women to lay aside their summer furs and don their neckless blouses.
