\ ~ y FRENCH MOTHERS TO BE SUBSIDIZEE Harper's Bazar for February says One of the most remarkable result - of the war is a plan in France fo: subsidizing motherhood. A bill whicl provides for a certain sum of mone: to be given for the first child, an< other sums for each succeeding child is soon to be introduced. There i sure to be an increased birth-rate ii consequence. How often have w< heard a father or mother say: "Yes we should so much like to have an other child to grow up with this on< but we cannot afford it. It will tak< all the money we can save to giv< this one a start in life." The feelinj of financial responsibility for thei: children is deeply rooted in Frencl parents. Here is an idea that American might well think about. But it i only one of the unusual pieces o news we find in the current issue o Harper's Bazar. As a journal whicl brings you the latest and most inter esting news from all countries, Har per's Bazar is without rival amonj American magazines.

It 1 r was the largest audience since A1 i * Field's Minstrels, and "Watch Your t ' Step" was labeled one of the best ? girl and music shows since the "Follies" came to town. i "Watch Your Step" is just a pell- ( o mell of syncopation all the way.

Wherever a song showed danger of becoming soft and drippy, Mr. Berlin ragged it to life again. Grand opera not excepted. In fact, quite the beBt part of the music was the tasty way in which "Rigoletto" was ragged without absolutely desecrating it. Girls: Gay and giddy, possibly the best lookers that a road show haa ever produced. |gnfl If rf xkon, applies [ore and more nth are smokN, every day9 I come from and Carolina randest stock friend?you d I stand for od! /*n t io I am proud y Buy me. ind get i known >u mine. *ettes >UTH 6" fr Cuinm U NPUD O M r * r "< I \sjgp !|I " "'"^ / in Ladies' < Mens' ) SHOI hi' Advancec Shipments Highs and L< ' Now on Display ; |: n.
