Remember the. place: THE REXALL STORE The Nun's HoodPau'ieian That of Mourning. So many Parisian women. have lost father; brother, husband, son, or sweetheart in the great European mar that almost every .other woman one meets on the streets of Faris wears the deep crepe, does noting bereavement. Fashionable mallineers appreciatingthe trend of the times have deisiegned numerous very charming effecets-for those in mourning. The photo pietei.ree a very charming creation, a "Nun's Hood," trimmed with juet the faintest bit of white to offset its sons-' beefless. It may be that some milliner with advanced ideas may soon net the vogue of creations in white for those in mourning: Grieving and Suffering With Us It Is Not the Will of God That Disasters Overtake Nations or Individuals.' "It is not the wiell of your Father * * * that one of these little ones should perith."-Matthew xviii, 14. Here in 'tlhis text is the perfect answer to the oldtiane and, unfor- tunately, still eueviving supersti- tion that the pains and perils of Mar en existence are in some. mys- terious way to he related to the will of God. It would seem., on the face of things, to he blasphemy to charge God with responsibility for the dis'ustea•e Irons which men suffer. Any earthly ruler who e,hottld exercise 'audit a monstrous "will" as is implied 'in this doctrine of divine sovereignty would forfeit at once the allegiance, to say noth- ing of the love, of his people. But let .a little child perish miserably in its mother's arms, ea steamship sink with. passengers in the sea, Famine or plague decimate a coun- try's population, war engulf the nations of the world, and always there are those who declare that this tragedy is the will of God and must therefore be endured with equanimity. That this conception has done much to 'give the healing balm of consolation to bleeding hearts and thus to reconcile men to the ills of their present lot is obvious. But it is likewise obvious, as Professor Eliot has. pointed out in his "Reli- gion of the Facture," that this same conception "has done infinite nun - .chief in ttthe world by inducing men to be patient under suffeaings or deprivations against which they should have incessantly Strug- gled." Once get a man persuaded that it is the will of God that a baby should die of typhoid fever:, a child laborer be killed in the shaft of a coal mine, the Titanic strike an ice- berg, a. famine sweep India, and he is paralyzed of all. effort to over- come these ills. But once ger ea man persuaded that "it is not the will of [God) * * * that one of these little ones should parish" and in- stantly lie is transfigured. Typhoid fever?

He talee.s up ,arms "against [this] sea of troubles and, by opposing, endsth'em." And therewith God's kingdom conies `and His will is done on earth as it les in 'heaven. Such is the wondrous change in math's •attitude toward the universe under the influence: of this new con- ception of the divine purpose. And this change, be it nobeed, is achieved without any loss of that 'factor of reconcilement which was so groat a meritofIll old. theology. 1 the tlheo o n the g}.

Dr. Blake Odgens, who illustrates: the proper attitude of the profes- sion in the Yorksehiee Post, A young barrister who held dif- ferent views from the court re- marked on one occasion that he was surprised to .hear the judge make at certain statement, whereupon the leading counsel apologised for his junior on the grounds of 'hie youth.

British isles is gradually hardening that whatever else the terms of peace, on Ger- many's inevitable defeat, ntay or may not include, they must certain- ly include the holding of the Kaiser to what President Wilson would call "strict accountability" - al- though the British public would scarcely interpret thoise words in a Wilsonian sense. Anyhow, the view is gaining' ground, with re- markable rapidity, that the Kaiser must on the Conclusion of the war, pay a personal -price for the long, series of outrages committed dur- ing the whr, with his sanction and in his name: Writing in the Birm- ingham Post, Edgar Wallace pu-ts this view 'both moderately and suc- cinctly, as follows: "Militarism was not destroyed in France until its symbol was trans- ferred to St. Helena. We may talk round and about the question of .re- prisal for eprisal;for the ill-treatment of Brit- ish prisoners, but the only reprisal we can make is to remove for ever from his a sphere the man who has created the 'system 'which has made Prussian 'brutality possible. He has preyed to us that he will stop at no- feotion. thing to gain his ends, that he will violate every„law of God and man so long as lie can achieve some sort of success.

Thensands of }Tiles of Wire Used • in Putting Entanglements in Front of Trenches. The New York Sun's cor'respon dent with 'the Foreign Legion writes the following interesting ao count of liteat the front: "I have been trying to figure out hew much wire has been used for entanglements s along the 'whole western fronds,, It certainly May lie averaged et ten times the length of the trenches, and three times as much for the criss-crossing; so that if the whole front is put: at 500 Utiles (and it is probably nearly 000), it would 'mean 15,000 miles. There are from three to eight lines of defence:- Taking five as en aver age, We have 775,000 miles, and if the Germans use as inucll, it means 150,060 miles of wire. The stakes used for supporting the wire ale about as far apart as they are high. "The number of trees used up is enormous, for not only must these stakes. be found hitt lieatmes for trenches., shelters end fires, Our section (nominally 60 men general- ly ten below that number) uses about two trees a day for the kit- ellen, At first trees were cut down without any care, but now we have capable foresters with us to direct the cutting. "Some of the -things about the war that would not coeur' to the ordinary thinker are that there ere thousands of men on the firing line alio have been there for months and never fired a'shoet or seen an enemy. 1i'artinie Dentistry. "We have skilled dentists to look after our teeth, Ae. regards tooth - pulling, there is no trouble; it can be done at any time, as in every army, but skilled treatment has 'to be'arrangedfor. "We have six days on the firing line, six days rest at Cuiry-len Chaudardes (in the rear), then six days in the reserve trenches, six days more rest at Cuiry again, then the same all over again. When at rest, we have practically a bar- racks }ife, We have to stay in 'the village and cannot go to the next village or town (only half a mile and a anile away), without permis- sion. "We do exercise -drilling and mauceuvres-just as in barracks. This was not so at the beginning, when we had to make defences.

In the countries now at war' the women ' are so busy doing most of the work that they have little time for weep- ing. Even in England, where the drain on the male population' has been less severe than in France -or Germany, many industries that for- merly employed man are now of ne- cassity finding places for women. For example, women are now em- ployed for the first time in the as counting and other clerical depart meats of the railways and the banks. The number of women who, drive motor cars has increased tre- mendously. The Association for Women's Employment is training women to be shop assistants in the grocery business. As the Shop, Assistants' Union lie's Sent fully a. third of its members to the front, there are many vacancies of the kind to be filled, A firm at Rugby is engaging girls to make electric: light bulbs -a craft hitherto folleow- ect exclusively by men. Instances might be multiplied of occupations in which, since the beginning of the was', the bars have been let down for women. Yet even after all the men's• places have been filled, there are many women, widowed by the war, to be provided for; the effort is now being made to start enterprises that shall give these unfortunate per- sons employment. Toy -making, which has been aalm.ost exclusively a German industry, is being en- couraged in England as an 'occupa- tion especially suited to womie.n. The Woman's Emergency Corps has turned the Chapel of the Annuncia- tion into a factory where young girls learn to make wooden toys; they 'soon become skillful enough to get three dollars a week. In Scotland •artificial flower -making has been promoted, and suitable workrooms and teachers have been provided. The theatrical world of- fers .a good market for the products. of that industry.

The cell for factory help in Great Britain may relieve the contrition of unemployment in Canada and also) perhaps, to a great extent in the United 'S'tates; There is an urgent demand for work -hands in Britain -she is running her 'factories and shops at high pressure. and she: cannot get enough help. There is an actual and pressing need; and inducements are offered to i n.mi• grant workmen r' illyth mechanics Who are able to use'[ the demands made upon them will nit he 4: -sap - pointed if they offer their , services, There is no fear among the Brit- ish workmen that such officially promoted immigration will swell the ranks elf the' locallyunemploy ed. They are so well organized that there is little danger that these competitive importations will take away work from themselves, When it .hvRS proposed to'find work for Belgian refugees ,the British- work- men secured pledges that -these would not 'be employed where it would bring enforced idlesaess to home workers, Time 'with this assurance workers from' Canada or the United States can •aoceypt the offer of work in Britain without causing distres8 among the home workers. The British authorities are pr•ep'areed to offer free transportation to and from Britain to all who will come and work in, the armament fac- tories. The necessity is im'pera- tive, but the lalbor watchdogs en- sure' that no injustice will Come' to theirs on that account,. There are so many former workmen with the colors that there is plenty of room' for men from Canada, the United 'States, or the colonies; and as Lord .Kitchener low declared men who work well and assiduous- ly are doing a .service to their country commensurate with that being performed by the men at the front. For without munitions of war the fighting cannot advance and so the much desired decisions is just so ninth the longer delayed, Hence great reward for steady, consistent service both atthe front and in factories is held out. There. is plenty of work for all -and the workman can exhibit as great a pa-. triotism as the men in the more spectacular field, The great lack at the front is what these home workers can provide.
