IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS *

Women’s Clubs to Have Home at Washington Former Residence of General Miles to Be Purchased by Federation. By MBS. EDWARD FRANKLUf WHITE Chairman Legislative Department General Feiieration Woman’s Clubs. At last the General Federation of Woman's Clubs is to have a headquarters building in Washington commensurate with its prominence and position as the largest body, of organized women in the United States. In the city where almost every national organization of women has placed its banner over the entrance of some more or less pretentious habitation, the federation has been functioning in three rooms of a fourth-rate office building downtown, without adequate room or convenience for its continuous stream of guescs. The building finally obtained is a handsome four-story residence at 1734 N street, less than two blocks outside of the recently established commercial zone. It was, I think, formerly the residence of Gen. Nelson A. Miles, but is now the property iy 8 Mr. an d M rs " bite. The building i i ideally arranged for conversion into a headquarters building, and is in perfect condition, $3,000 having been spent within the month for betterments. It is considered a great bargain at 370,COO, and is rented at SS2S a month for three months. COMMITTEE MAKES DILIGENT SEARCH. The committee on permanent headquarters had been scanning the rental and selling lists assiduously, assisted by Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, tlie president of the federation, during her sojourn in Washington as a member of the advisory council to the conference on the limitation of armaments. When this house was found, it was so satisfactory that Mrs. Winter immediately appropriated some of the funds allowed her for expenses while there to purchase an option until the meeting of the federation board of Chicago Jan. 4-0. Her judgment was confirmed by the board and a campaign for taking up the option was launched at once. Mrs. \\ ii. ter had asked about twenty women if they would lend SI,OOO each to help finance the first payment. This was promised. Mrs. S. E. Perkins of Indiana, being one of the number. Those loans will be called at once, and, together with a loan from the general fund of the federation, will place this residence in the hands of the federation by Jan. 15, so that the remainder of the rental will accrue to its credit. The first floor has large, light handsomely furnished reception rooms, hall, music room, library, sun parlor, and dining room. There are other large reception rooms on the second floor, and Sixteen bedrooms. There is a dainty little format garden in a sort of court, which may be at some time roofed over for an assembly room. A fine garage is at the rear which may be rented for 5i,300 a year, and there is space at the side for an extension of the building If desired. Many of the draperies, hangings and fixtures will be left in the building, and the furniture may be purchased reasonably. The place is dignified, commodious, convenient, easy of access and will, when occupied by Miss Halford and her corps of assistants, be a beehive of industry and sociability. A wonderrul amount of work goes through Miss Hafford’s hands and a suri rising number of names of the great are on her register. The bedrooms will be at the disposal of visiting club women, the rental of which will go toward maintaining the place when it is known the house is open. FREE OFFERING TO MEET COST. It is proposed to pay for the building by voluntary contribution by clubs and individuals. Mrs. Winter has taken the chairmanship of the committee for raising funds, and the campaign will be carried on in the States by the State director, Miss Vida Newson of Columbus, Ind. As the members answered roll call signifying their unanimous approval of the project, they responded with contribution pledges. Mrs. George Thatcher Guernsey, who is chairman of the local biennial board for Chautauqua next June, walked up to Mrs. Winter and deposited a SIOO bill for the fund. Mrs. John W. Watzek of lowa quietly slipped a check for SSOO to the treasurer. Many others gave SIOO each. A dream has been realized, a necessity fulfilled. Women of such wide Interests, activities and potentialities must be adequately housed in the city where so many interests center. The organization has attained a worldwide prominence and recognition by the appointment of its president as a member of the advisory committee to the disarmament conference and the position of all women strengthened.

Well Groomed Women Proof Call Answered Making Most of Self in Face and Figure Not to Be Discouraged. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. What does It all mean, this effort on the part of women to become beautiful of face and figure? Can it be that the advertisements in magazines and newspapers have called the attention of women to their lack of bea'uty, and alluring words are leading them into paths which will tend to make them more attractive? That women have answered the call and are making use of the so-called beauty secrets is evidenced on every hand as one looks into the faces of the well groomed woman of today. The story is told that they have made use of the "perfect skin cleanser" and “complexion beau tiller” or other elements of cfiarin, tn whatever form, or by whatever name. Let It be said, however, that It Is not the much painted and powdered woman who Is considered beautiful but rather the one who cares for her God given qualities, tending and keeping them In full flower. "A thing of beauty Is a Joy forever," a poet said, but women, in these days are fast learning that beauty caa bo lost if Its upkeep be not assiduously pursued, anil the knowledge that one Is going backward in physical charm takes the Joy from life In a great measure. Women have long since found that good looks is their best asset whether In social or business life. The young woman wbo shows that she is making the most of ter natural qualities of beauty and preserving them is wise. Even though the face be homely In outline such care can jbe given It that In Its cleanliness n<l softness it la beautiful. In a current I magazine there are no lens than twenty [five advertisements telling the women |of America how to become beautiful, auil la the same page’s la an article from ja famous novtlist on “Beauty In Women" [and still another from the pen of a woman lon "The Business of Being Beautiful.” ils It any wonder that women stop, look and listen? The latter writer says, I "Beauty Is not to be laid ou, It Is to b 4 ! brought out,” advocating a sound body properly exercised, which brings out the charm that comes from health. Too [strong emphasis cannot be laid upon exercise when making for real beauty. After all the old saying, "Beauty 13 only skin deep, but ugly Is to the bone" has an element of truth In It for truly, " 'Tis the stainless soul within, that outshines the fairest skin" and in many, many instances the homely face is considered the most beautiful because of the character portrayed In tt. However, the habit of making the most lof one-• self in face and flgur is one not | to be discouraged, but rather one to be exercised in moderation, and practiced at proper times and places. The February Designer in an article on • Unabashed Grooming" say a “The I people of finest feelings will never be , really able to approve open powdering j of the face, though they may tolerate | it. You can hardly ride a block on a j street car without seeing some girl open ! her bag, draw out her mirror and ; powder-puff and give her nose und chlu [ a going over, bin) wouldn’t think of j combing her eyebrows In public or ! tweaking out those Intruding chin S visitors, but she secs no reason for at>j staining from "fixing up her face."

u nited Looters, Inc. □ By Ralplri Cummins E]

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE. Barry North aspires to be a detective. When numerous banks had been robbed by employes of the institutions he was called Into service by a bonding concern to impersonate Sam Derby, a convicted bank teller. lHs task was to join a band of clever bank looters and enter into a scheme to rob a big bank. A bank president Is Involved in the robbery plans and a girl has a leading part in unearthing the plans of the looters. An interesting heart story is the result of the various combinations of circumstance*. CHAPTER IV—Continued Mr. Evans was not In sight when I returned. Shortly after I settled myself; in the office I saw a Western Union boy j run up the steps. A moment later Miss j Bourke brought me a mesage. Wonder- j ing, I opened it and glanced curiously at j the single sentence. At once I sat up straight, and if such i a thing is possible, my heart stopped i beating. For a contingency of which I j had never dreamed had suddenly arisen, j The wire was un-slgned, but I knew at j once that it was from Wallace, manager ; of the International Fidelity Company. D. escaped last Thursday. For a moment I could not think. Sam Derby, the man I was supposed to be, lad escaped three days ago. Even by now he may have communicated with the Syndicate. And the Syndicate j would I found a cigarette and walked out j upon the porch. I surely was due for j trouble. I couldn’t figure It out In any other ! way. Ts Sam Derby had escaped and already was seeking to locate his form cr pals of tho Syndicate, surely there ; was trouble ahead for me. But a tight place was what I always had enjoyed. My boyish spirit of bravado returned I chuckled ns I touched a match to j the note. “That must have been good news, Mr North." I had not heard Miss Bourke approach, yet I did not whirl In surprise I laughed as easily as I could and faced her quiet smile. "No news at all." I returned carelessly. "Just another safe expert wanting an Interview." Why did she doubt my explanation ? j Oh, I had learned even then to read a lot In that clear, steady glance. She did j not speak—just threw at me that one i quick glance, but In her manner as she ! turned down across the lawn I read \ anew my conviction that she was that ; other local member of the United Syn- i and Date. 1 spent much thought during that evening and the sleepless night that followed In trying to formulate some plan for preventing the complete collapse of■ my plans. If I only had some evidence j that would identify the man who was responsible for the orders that I had Just received But 1 had only a sus ! piclon and that was directed against the | one person whom I roust save when the I blow fell. For I knew even then that ! the call of duty could not force me to j ! anything that would mean punlachment j to Alstan Bourke. Undoubtedly he was the other agent of the Syndicate. Still I found it bard to believe that back of that level gaze there was a cunning j criminal mind. There was a hope from one source. Os course, it had been Wallace, manager ot the International, who had sent me the warbing of Derby’s escape I bad wired him a full report of the night before, and he was the only person except member* of the Syndicate who know where I was 1 was suro that Wallace would do all In his power to prevent Derby from disarranging my plans, but aside from re capturing the escaped prisoner how could ho help me? Why, b 7 preventing news

of the escape from reaching the Syndicate to their agent at the Metropolitan. Was there any way in which I could help ? Several times I had thought of attempting to extract information ot Syndicate affairs from Alstan Bourke, but one glance at her firm chin and steady eyes told me how impossible of success such a course would be. Now, with failure confronting me, would it not bo well to have Miss Bourke re. moved? But to do that I must denounce her as a criminal, and even the success of my enterprise would not allow me to do that. Next morning I felt miserable, but I was moved to see that Miss Bourke also was worried. There were dark clouds under her eyes and her cheeks did not glow with their usual color. And several times I was sure that I saw a puzzled question in her eyes as she looked at me. it was early in the forenoon when the lelephone bell rang. I heard Miss Bourke’s crisp voice, an Instant of silence and her quick reply to a question. “Mr. Evans Is out Just now. Is there a message.” Another silence, then "A telegram? I will take it." I sensed her movements as she reached for a pencil and rustled a slip of paper within reach. "What's that? . , A code? I thought—" I was Interested. Evans had received a number of code messages, but so far I had been unable to see one of them, or to overhear anything that would give me an inkling of their purport. And the reason .hat I was so Interested was the fact that in every case the message had been received by Miss Bourke. That fact might mean something. She did not repeat the message After a moment I heard the receiver click upon the hook and I glanced across at the girl. I wondered If she were able to read that code. 1 looked directly Into her steady gaze She was crumpling the slip of paper In her fingers, but I could see that she had forgotten the message, Tbero was a strange, new light In her eyes as they met mine. Was It pity? Well. If It was pity—l smiled and I know that I let tny heart speak through my smile. My carijes* attitude brought n change In her. She bit her lip and n worried frown creased her brow. Her glance shot through the window to where Evans was leisurely approaching. Then, with her quick graceful stride she crossed to my chair and stood beside me. "Who are you?" she demanded, and there was a softness In her voice that was like a caress. I rose to fact- her and my smile grew Well might I smile, or even sing, for 1 was reading unbelievable things Is her expressive eyes "Just a poor heart-weary e’ave," T bantered “Just a searcher of life mvsterles—who is now solving the biggest problem of them all.” Her eves narrowed and her lips tightened Slowly she raised the crumpled piece of paper nnrl while her level gate held me she tore tt Into little pieces and tossed it into the wastebasket. With ! the hint of a smile upon her Ups she turned back to her desk Just as Evans i Into the room. But my eyes saw nothing of the vault 1 plans before me Something that I had read tn Alstan Bourke's eyes had changed my whole outlook on life. Was it n flashing spark of tenderness that had illumined her face and had set fire , to my lonely heart? : As nenrly as I could figure it that i message had concerned me, Had It been a warning to Evans that I was an agent ;of the United Syndicate? Or was the message intended for Miss Bourke. its contents exposing my claims to being Bam Derby? Whatever the message. It had been something that meant a danger to me. And Miss Bourke had suppressed It I She was her usual self that night, hut T could make no oppnraenity to speak to her alone At dinner I suggested a picture show, but she refused with a glance 1 n which I Imagined that I read a warning. ! lingered upon the porch for a halfhour. hoping that Miss Bourke would come out. But she seemed verv busy in ♦he office Several times I beard the telephone bell ring, and heard her quiet voice talking Once she called Evans in At last I lit a cigarette and started down the street At the corner I paused and looked back Undpr the street light above I saw the Indistinct form of n man Something about bis attitude struck me, I scrutinized my surrounding carefully. Across the street from the Evans plaeo a man was sitting on a pile of lumber trying to read a paper by the feeble light from the street globe. Upon the corner near roe a man in greasy overalls was tinkering with a motoreyele. The Evans house was being watched. Why? Was It Miss Bourke or myself who was under surveillance? I determined to find out. and Rtraek out at a brisk walk down the street. But, although I wandered openly for a dozen blocks 1 saw no sign of being followed. When I returned by way of the winding rord that passed the rear I saw two more men who obviously were killing time. When I turned the corner T saw that tho man with the motorcycle had moved down to the Evans gate. As I approached a messenger on a wheel came tearing up the street and stopped beside the man at the gate, who rose at once and engaged the boy in conversation. But as the man left his machine I saw him slap his bulb horn carelessly with his

Daily Fashion Hints

n

By AGNES AYRES, Star in Paramount Pictures. Never in the history of the three-piece suit has It had such a triumph as It now enjoys. True, we have worn three-piece suits as universally other seasons, but with once limited the possibilities of the costume to street and day wear. Now the costume blouse Is as essential as the suit itself, and the costume blouse may range from a sports affair to one of silk and lace and embroidery that makes an evening costume when the coat is removed. Os this latter class are the blouse and suit in the sketch A coat that takes Its place as a dress coat, both by right of the richness of Its materials and the exclusiveness of its design, covers a blouse of chiffon chith, elaborately embroidered with light silk Skirt and coat are of black satin broadcloth, one of the season’s favorites, sup'lanting dnvetyn. The coat Is a straight model, fastening about the hips, and with a full tunic skirt, open In front, and hanging much louver In the hack than on the sides. The cane of the coat fall* in the same huge scallop, and both are weighed with a heavy band of dark brown beaver. There are no sleeves, the little cape serving In their stead. A huge collar of the beaver that may be worn open, disclosing the soft blackness of tbe matching chiffon cloth blouse, completes the costume. Neither scant nor short Is the skirt, but It bangs In great, graceful folds, arranged to accentuate the beauty of the figure. hand At the squawk of the horn 1 glanced toward the house Alstan Bourke was walking out upon the porch. After some boyish scuffling tbe man held the messenger’s wheel, then leaned it against a telephone pole. The boy ran up the walk. T was sure I read that Incident aright. Tt was the man’s loh to see that all incoming messages fell Into the hands of Miss Bourke. That accounted for her close application to the office, with its proximity to the telephone. All at once anew idea struck me. If Wallace had sent me a warning of the escape of Sam Derby, wouldn't It be reasonable to suppose that he had followed up the warning by getting other help to me. fearing that my personal usefulness would soon be destroyed ? I wished that I was able to communicate with Wallace. I returned to tbe house. Alstan Bourke was busy tn the office. Dr. Baker. Mr. Evans' physician, was at the telephone. “M* Evans Is worse." Miss Bourke told me “Oh. yes. here’s a note that just came for you ” I took the note, my eves upon her face. She looked at me with a steady gaze that I could not read Suddenly T knew that I loved her—that nothing else mattered If I could save this wonderful fighting girl from being crushed in the wreck of tbe Looters' Syndicate. I glanced at the note in my hand. Ts my guess were right It held my final orders for the robbery of the Metropolitan, Did Alstan know what it contained? (To Be Continued.)

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given Daily in Times. " [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living In a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily In an Interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] FRIDAY. “Os course we ought not to tell you," laughed the president of the Woman’* Club as Mrs. Hooper appeared at the meeting to conduct her department of household economics for practically the last time, “but we have decided to turn the meeting next Friday into a farewell reception In your honor. The only reason tha- we are telling ytfu Instead of keeping it a dark secret is that we know you have a great deal to do before you leave and if it would be more convenient for you on any other day we will change our plan.” "Oh there Is no necessity whatever for doing that,” Mrs. Hooper assured them, “and 1 can't tell you how much I appreciate your giving a party for me. I know it will be one of the very pleasant memories I shall have of the club when I am far away from you aIL” “Well now that Is settled,” announced the president, "we can go on with our regular meeting.” "What was it we were discussing par* ttcularly last week?” Inquired Mrs. Hooper. “I’ve had so many things my mind lately I seem to forget where we were in the discussion of budgets." “Well, I think it will be some time before we get very far away from tbs subject of shelter.” said one woman, despairingly, “every time I think I have things adjusted so that part of the budget wil not be disturbed I find that after all there Isn't money enough.” “But you own your house, don't you?” asked Mrs. Hooper of the distressed member. “Yes I do,” she replied, “but I’m not so sure that It makes it very much easier to keep things going with no more than $24 even if your house does happen to belong to you and not rented.” "The few of us who are renting houses certainly won t seem disposed to agree with you,” sighed the woman who sat next to her. “I’m afraid I cam only manage by renting my one spare room to the high school teacher, who is tired of commuting to the city and wants to live in Mayfield.”

“Well 1 should think that would boa : very satisfactory way of solving the rent problem,” said Mrs. Hooper, "but It does seem too bud not to have a guest room.” 1 "Oh I've made up my in nd to do it,” said the woman laughing, “because I am | determined to run my house hereafter on ; this budget, and if I upset it with tho ! one item of shelter proving unmanagabla | I’d have to give it up altogether.” “Well since you have come to that sensible conclusion to make the ends of your shelter account meet let us go back to this difficulty where the house is* owned and m t rented." I ' v > 1 the woman who nadr made the complaint, “while 1 don’t have to pay the rent man the first of every month, there are all sorts of repairs that I don't seem to be able to control, and when things get out of order they always cost so much more than I expected to . have them put in order again that I i shall be worried to death mogt of tha time that I'll never have sufficient balance in my budget acount to pay tho ; taxes or Insurance on the house." "There Is a great deal of care and anxiety about keeping a house in repair,” agreed Mrs. Hooper, “the landlord carries it If you are renting your home, and to be able to control the outlay yourself comes after much careful planning.” ; “Do tell them Mrs Hooper,” spoke up the Bride, “that your best rule for curbing expenses for repairs Is to watch every spot In the place continually and the minute the least damage shows to mend It at once. Then aside from unforseen accidents nothing that Is wrong with tha place grows to irage or expensive proportions.” “Yes that Is my idea of prevention." agreed Mrs. Hooper, “and It is for that reason that I make a real Inspection every Monday that Is quite as through as that which a eapraln of a ship makes when ha goes his rounds.” The menue for tho three meals on Saturday are: BREAKFAST.
