"What la $389,000,000 compared to women' rights?" asked Mrs. Volney W. Taylor, of Texas, at the meeting in Washington, after it was brought out that the change would increase Federal revenue to that amount.

Mrs. Harvey Wiley, of Washington, said a law of that kind would be the worst setback women had differed in 50 vears and would aeain make them chattels. If such a law goes through it should be made clear it's only for the duration ol tne war. Grace Barber received a stark of letters Monday addressed to "The Curling Editor."

Vizetl Venetian Vase WERE discussing our most prized possessions and a friend of mine mentioned her Venetian blue vase. I know it and admire it but tremble every time I get near her mantel I'm so afraid I'll knock it off. She is, too.

It's a tall vase, tissue-paper ihin, of the most delicate blue and rears itself up with the grace of a flower. So here's the story. When the owner was last in Venice she took a gondola and crossed the Venetian canal where the funeral processions always cross to Murano, to go through the famous-glass factory of Venlni. The youngest Venlni Paul handsome as a god conducted her through and when she'd seen everything, atked her what she'd like as a gift. Almost overcome by the magnitude of his offer, my friend chose this vase.

At that Paul picked It out of the rase lightly, rolled it in some paper and tied one of those adorable knots the Italians are always tying for you to be able to swing your parcel. The vase Is 13 inches tall maybe taller. Get It He Said "WHEN YOU return to Venice," he cautioned her, "go to our showrooms and have them crate hent. But of course when she returned to Venice she was busy and forgot to get the glas3 crated so there was nothing to do when she left Venice but pick up the vase by its little string snd start off. "I'll have this crated when I get to nhe told herself but when once you're in Paris you don't do what you want to do but what Paris wants you to do, so she left Paris for the boat train swinging a high-priced piece of gossamer-thin glass by ita littlo string.

Once in New York fear overcame her and she resolved not to risk carrying the vase home but the fates stepped in again and she arrived at the Michigan Central with numerous pieces of baggage, hat boxes, books and rolled umbrellas and a round bulging parcel tied in blue paper with a bit of string. So now it's on her mantel, holding a few stalks of white snapdragons and can you see why she's so nervous when I or any other guest step near it? The Venlni company was founded 000 years ago and has been passed down from Veninl father to Venlni son ever since. Beautiful Venice, on the Adriatic, soft and warm and heavy with history I hope someday to see you again. pgMaHBVaHIMiaMRMMHHiaiJIMnpHRMI Splashed with brilliant flowers against a white background, the smart printed shirts sketched above will dramatize your new spring suit whether it's as vivid as the flowers or a solid neutral shade.

It was only on the day before Christmas that she returned and on the last American ship to leave Lisbon. Although the crossing was made after the United States SARA BULETTE had declared war, the ship was not convoyed and only took 11 days (one more than the usual) despite its very southerly, zigzagged course.

Unprepared for blackout, the problem was solved by taking the lights out of all the cabins and everywhere except dim ones in inner halls and dining salon balcony. The editor-visitor found some very important changes in England's rural population.

Kelltr? Corset Shop, Hotel Tuller. CL. 6 JX English Pigs are now plowed up. The people not only must raise their own foodstuffs, but also all the feed for their livestock. It is done by government plan.

And although the farmers grumble about all the paper work plans, records and priority lists they've1 pitched into the job Whole heartedly. "ANOTHER CHANGE is in the personality of the pigs," Miss Bulette claims. "Formerly they were fed only the best imported grains. They were beautifully cared for and so clean that many of the farmers alleged they had been accused of giving them baths. "Now, however, they are fed fwm the leftovers at army camps (which are set up throughout the country side) and, as one farmer slyly claimed, 'any collection was considered good if it didn't contain more than 25 per cent razor "Result is that the once gen ARE ALWAYS Ferocious tle, beautiful pig has completely changed.

He's almost ferocious. When you go out to his pen he rears right up in a fighting mood!" MANY FARMERS look askance at having Women Land Army Workers as helpers. But Editor Bulette found that the only ones who doubted 'the effectiveness of these feminine farm aides were those who hadn't tried them. The land army comprises women, of whom about 99 and 44-100's are city girls. They are given a six weeks' training course.

When Miss Bulette asked how the city girls could be trusted with good cattle to learn milking, the woman in charge laughed and answered, "We give her a pall, a stool and an old cow. She gets milk after two or three days!" After the course these trainees are expected each to be able to take care of six cows daily."
