on the mm. for her war work she was made a Knight of the Order of Leopold, an award seldom made to women and never before conferred upon one so young. She was 20 at the time. In recognition of. her genius as a sculptor.

Fiance made her an Officier d'Academie and the British government gave her its Coronation medil. Ir the United States she has won many prizes and competitions. Mme. Silvercruys recommends that everyone devote a few moments each day to creative expression, preferably in the arts or through some craft. Her own genius as, a sculptor was discovered quite accidentally.

She was recovering from an illness when a friend gave her a small kit of plasticene, thinking that modeling would break the monotony of convalescence. Her first effort was to reproduce the features of her pet police 'dog. That head won her admittance to the Yale School of Fine Arts and opened up to her a career in art. Mme. Suzanne Silvercruys, noted woman sculptor, will lecture Wednesday, Nov.

4, before the Woman's club of Racine on the subject, "Awake and Live." Art, Mme. Silvercruys believes, is the one International medium that all people everywhere understand and appreciate.

Silvercruys has modeled the famous and the near-famous in England, France, Canada, her own Belgium, the United States, and in many other countries. As a girl of 15 she was smuggled over the Dutch border because her life was endangered in war-torn Belgium.

She and other Belgian war nurses had aided a group of Belgian prisoners to escape from the German army. From Holland she went to England and from England came to the United States.

D. Haddow of Ellsworth, Wis. Miss Hood attended Carleton college and received her degree from the University of Wisconsin. Her fiance, now stationed at Camp Swift, Texas, graduated from the University of Wisconsin where he attended law school. and fireside "and the little woman.

Then, when she makes up her mind to go with him anyway, she often finds that he is jumped from one part of the country to another, often not even staying in one post long enough for the furniture to catch up. And Uncle Sam isn't nearly as generous as he used to be about footing the bills on furniture shipped around the country. So wives who are quick on the uptake and aren't too slow to take a hint think Uncle Sam would like to have them stay at home until the war is oyer but doesn't like to tell them so. If it is true that Uncle Sam would rather have his officers fighting this "war alone, without any aid or comfort from the little woman, it would be a good idea for him to speak his mind. He might write officers' wives personal letters, something like this: Dear Mrs.

Army Officer: It is only natural that s. long as your husband is in this country and it is possible for you to follow him you want to do so. And it is only natural for him to want to keep you with him as long as he can. But we're in a tough fight. We need officers who can give every bit of their time and attention to their jobs.

It is hard for a man to do that if he has a wife and children and their problems to worry about, if he has family demands made on him constantly. Besides, army families moving into a town create a real housing problem. So I'm asking you if you won't make up your mind right now to go on living away from your husband. Sooner or later you will probably have to reconcile yourself to it, and it would be easier for him, for the army and, perhaps, for you if you would do it now. Knowing that you will understand the reason for this, service and that you will want to do your part as your husband is doing his, I remain, Your Uncle Sam, A letter like that would work with most wives if Uncle Sam really feels they're in the way.

But maybe he doesn't think they are, and the wives who assume that they aren't wanted are a bit sensitive. Either way, it would be a help for them to hear from Uncle Sam himself, and know for sure just how he about them.
