Board Is $60 A Month In Paris, Writes Wife Of K. U. Man In France
America hasn't Yet Experience ed Real H. C. of L, Says Mrs. Applehoom
"Everything is very expensive in France. I consider life in America very cheap now that I see what we have to pay here," writes Mrs. P. A. F. Appelboom who is now in war work in France with her husband. Mr. Appelboom was formerly an instructor of Romance languages at K. U.
The letter received by Mrs. U. G.
Mitchell is dated, November 16, 1917,
31 Avenue Montaigne, Paris.
"Mr. Appelbloom is purchasing agent for the M. Y. C. A., and I am working in an entirely different department—that of Military Passes—and have the bookkeeping connected herewith. We like our work very much. As a rule a man must be in the same place, but as we have Peter our thirteen year old son to look after they made an exception in our case.
"Until we had been here a full week Peter did not know what to do with himself. Then he heard that the Red Cross needed a boy who could speak English as a page to show the English and American people through the building and to do errands. He went there and asked for the job and got one right away.
"He makes, as he calls it, big money—twenty franc ($4) a week. There are about ten French boys doing the same kind of work with him and he has a fine opportunity to learn French and speaks it pretty well already."
"There is only brown bread to be had in Paris, but it is so well baked that we like it almost as well as the white bread. We are in a boarding house and get very good meals and plenty, though the prices are almost unbelievable, for each of us $2 a day. You can figure out what it costs us a month.
"The first few days we felt very much depressed at the sight of so many young people who had lost legs and arms in the war, and almost one out of every five women are in mourning. There is hardly a family here who has not lost some relative in the war. But you can get accustomed to anything and we do not notice it any more."

W. S. G. A. Makes New Date Rule For Men Who Leave For War
Men Withdrawing for Service to Be Accorded Privileges of Out-of-town Callers
Date Rule Off—Sometimes
All Students Free to Attend Many Functions According to Revised Code
Of course the Women's Student Government Association has a heart. It has even consented to modify the semi-sacred date rule to accommodate departing heroes.
Katherine Reding, president of the W. S. G. A. says, "the date rule is not to be broken or abolished but it is to be bent and twisted to accommodate the boys who are leaving for war."
"All men who have withdrawn from school and who expect to leave within a week's time are to be considered as out-of-town men," says Mia Riding, "and are able to have all privileges of out-of-town callers. This means the W. S. G. A. will not interfere with such dates even though they take place from 8 to 11 o'clock."
This leniency does not mean that dates are allowed all students at all times for the 8 o'clock rule for midweek dates is to be observed by all but withdrawals. Library dates are proper of the stroll home door if possible and cafe. All farewells must be said soon as the front steps are reached.
Twelve hours a week is all that the association reserves for "study only," out of the 160 hours, leaving 156 hours to be spent entirely as one chooses. Even these twelve are often infringed upon, for the date rule is declared off for all student enterprise of all University interest.
Section 1 of the W. S. G. A. Bylaw says: Roming houses for women shall be closed at ten o'clock on week nights and Sunday and at eleven on Friday and Saturday nights except in the case of formal parties.
Section 2 reads: Student parties may be held only on Friday and Saturday nights or on nights preceding holidays. Boarding house dances may be held during the week from 7 to 8
"In this unsettled time," says Miss Reding. "I hope that each woman will make her duty to see that the rules are not unnecessarily broken."

"The Slacker"
The most amazing production of a century. It makes the old year to be young. It makes the young spring to the nation's call. It galvanizes into palpitating life the patriotism of all ages in all lands. It has as its star the foremost actress of the stage and screen.
