* IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS •*

Sane Thinking, Consecration Asked by Women General Federation Head Issues Message While Turmoil Reigns. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, has given the following message to women: "Two things this country needs from its women—needs pre-eminently while the world is in turmoil —sane thinking and consecrated action. "Sane thinking means that we shall really inform ourselves as to the issues of the day, educational, social, political, and that we shall infuse our knowledge with high idealism along the line of America’s great traditions. We shall not be swept away by the confused, half-lledged judgments that prevail today in many places. “Consecrated action means that we shall not rest content with mere information, but shall regard our knowledge as the preparation for dipping deep into conservative service.” CLUB WOMEN SENSE MESSAGE. That the Indiana clubwomen have sensed, this message of their national leader was evidenced In the spirit shown in the recent federation council meetings where every plan, report and message Indicated that the womn are thinking sane thoughts, setting forth sane principles and bringing sanity into every notion. And all this not for the furthering of their own individual or group interests, but in assisting to bring to all women of the State a high idealism—to create in them a desire for knowledge which shall lift them above the mediocre things of life and inspire in them such united action and a study of such questions as would tend toward the forwarding of the home, the community, the State and the Nation. “The Homes of Indiana.” which has been the motto of the Indiana Federation for many years, have been made centers of Instruction, open forums for the discussion of current interests and affairs, a debating school in which each and every member of the family may have opportunity for expression, because of the interest which the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters have shown in public and civic life. INDICATION OF NEW LIFE AND ENERGY. Consecrated service was also sounded throughout the conferences—group meetings were held to advance department, district or country work, and withal there was an indication of new life, vim and energy injected into the meeting which will permeate the year's work and result in a great gathering of live forces at the annual convention which shall meet in Indianapolis in October. The need of an intensive campaign for county organization was voiced at the sessions from which much good is expected to come to both district and State work. The federation is centering its forces this year in three departments of work education, conservation and legislation. Added to this is the laudable undertaking of the purchase of the Old Fauntleroy Home at New Harmony, the home where the first woman's club was organized in the United States, "The Minerva Society” named aft r the "Goddess of Wisdom.” New York claims "Sorosis” as the first woman's club, but records of the Minerva, complete minutes of its meetings, pictures of its members all well preserved show that the Minerva Society was organized Sept. 20, 1559, nine years prior to Sorosis, organized In IS6B. The women of the federation believing this home to be one of the greatest relics in Indiana are hoping to consummate Us purchase by an intensive drive for funds, and have such work accomplished before another annual rneetug. ANGEL GABRIEL FORGOT TO TOOT Southern Prophet Now Sore On the World.

HUNTSVILLE, Ark., Jan. page old man Gabriel, and tell him be forgot to toot hie big horn on December 25. Joseph Childers, of Huntsville, his family and a few ardent followers are sore at the world. They were all prepared for the end of the world on Christinas day and stood, donned in "white flowing robes, awaiting the final blast of the proverbial horn which would mark the end of time.

As the “great day” approached the little group of worshippers gathered together and awaited the hour set. Just a few moments before the time arrived, i noise was heard in the valley below and the gathering was joyous believing they vere right. The noise proved to be some liountaineers who had consumed just a iltie too much Arkansas moonshine, vhich has practically the same effect as I'NT. After the hour had passed and the sun ■ame out from behind a cluster of •iouds. Cbildres soon found himself the /nly one left, his followers having relumed home to cook their Christmas dinners.

Finds Fault With Back-to-Nature Garb HALF-MAST HOSE NEXT TO NONE AT ALL American Woman Not What She Was

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—Flimsy garb of girls spells peril to the race. Dr. Ciara P. Seippel, eminent women's specialist, said today. The sturdy type of American womanhood is becoming extinct and a frail, scrawny species Is in process of evolution, the physician declared. Rolled hose and short skirts are the present expressions of extreme dress which started some years ago and resulted in the immaturity of the present generation, Dr. Seippel said. “There is doubt,” said Dr. Seippel, who treats thousands of girls and young women each year, “but what the girl of today is not as well developed as the one of twenty years ago. "Now we have the girl of straight lines, not the well proportioned girl of yesteryear.

“The girl of today, dressed In thin silk hose, short skirts and satin pumps has no protection against the cold. She may as well wear nothing from the knee down. This causes the body to become frail as the bodily heat so necessary to proper development is dissipated. A decade ago girls were muffled from ears to feet as men are today. The modern girl has an insatiable desire for candy. This is because heat of the body is spent rapidly due to scant dress. It is nature's way of trying to furnish more fuel for the tissues.” Dr. Seippel stated many of the ills of womenkind are caused by constant exposure over a period of years. This condition is aggravated, she said, by the present day tendency of young girls to stay out late at nights, thereby missing the rest so necessary to proper development.

Extremity in dress has caused a lowering In the birth rate, she declared. CAUSES LOWER BIRTH RATE. "Many young women have been kept from motherhood because they did not dress adequately during their girlhood,” Dr. Seippel declared. The doctor, who has been active for years in girls’ welfare work, emphasized she reached her conclusion after twelve years’ experience in administering to girls and women. She said she issued the interview so her message would reach many who would not otherwise have received it. "I am not an alarmist,” she concluded. “I am deeply concerned, though over present conditions. However, I believe nuture will provide a remedy for the vexing condition in some manner.” WOMAN’S CLUB ADOPTS SLOGAN Original South Side Body to Enter Politics. “Who is your precinct committeeman?” is the slogan of the Original South Side Woman’s Club at present.

MYRA’S FINGERS By A . R . FARL EI G H

fEDITOR’S NOTE—This Intensely Interesting story began in Tuesday's Issue of the Daily Times. It is a picture of what' cruel I ate did to a poor little waif of the slums —a loving child-wife who, within the proper environments, might have been an honor to her sex. The story opens with Myra Campion’s fingers held warmly In the hands of Arthur Bronnson’s hand while they were taking part in a spirit Holistic seance in Chicago. Myra’s mother, who was a believer and herself something of a clairvoyant, wa* enabled to see her one-time husband, Myra's father, from whom she had long been separated, and who inter was found burned to death in a shack on Long Island. The big feature of the narrative is communication of the living with the dead, unraveling, by tills menus, a deep my stery.l CIIAPTEIf 11—Continued. Arthur was silent. It was a queer situation. They had just learned of the father's death, If It could he called learning, yet, neither expressed the least I sorrow. The woman let in the light. | She spoke quietly. I "I divorced my husband years ago in New York, Mr. Brownson.” 1 "And you have not heard from him | since?” Myra thought this delicate. | “And you have not heard from him either.” ae said, turning to the girl. She was hurt, Indignant. Why should he probe iuto their past. Would he ask the details of the divorce, details her mother would never discuss. Thought brought a blußh. Recalling the intimacy that had so quickly developed between them, she could understand his desire to know more about her, about her family, her birth, hei mother's status. lie had been very frank about himself; said he was a newspaper man from New York, working on a "big storywished he couid tell her about it, but that was a great secret; told her sil liis life, his ambitions, then had asked about herself and her history, persistently, she remembered, but whTi* she bad told him much about her plans for the future, and her war experiences siie was secretive about the family chronicle- Now be was delving into that. "Forgive me," he cried. "I have re vived old memories. I am sorry. 1 j have no dotibht Mrs. Fnruham was per- i fectly right in getting a divorce ” Myra felt this stab. Was it awkward ness, ingenuousness, desire to please, or was It bait, a lure for further rev. la i tloris He was going too far. Mts. | Farnham let in the light again. "There was nothing disgraceful on cither side, Mr Browr.son. Hen Cam- i plon was a classical scholar, ari artist. I an inventor, a little of everything -a genius, and like most geniuses a dream- | or. He could not make money, could I not support a family. I could not j make enough tc keep him and the baby, j So we parted ami ! was granted my \ divorce. After that I preferred to bo j known as Mrs Farnham, not liking the j name Campion—that is all.” "And you have never heard from him since?” This hurt the girl. There could be no doubt the question was deliberate. He bad asked it before. Why did he! wish to know whether they bad heard from* him since the dlvor.s'? “Not till he gave Ids message tonight : about Myra's fingers.” "Mother, mother, don't worry about that. Here we are at home. Myra’s fingers will put a key into the lock, the fingers will turn it and open tlie doot and then Myra's fingers will brew a pot of tea for us all.” They went in. Myra picked up a let-

ter that had been shoved under the door. It was so covered with markings in all kinds of colored inks that the original adress could hardiy be read. “It is postmarked from New Y'ork over two months ago,” she said. "Then it seems to have gone to Columbus, where fre haven’t lived for years, then to Indianapolis—they have been watching my brilliant career there —they sent it abroad to the Red Cross and here it is home at last. May I?” she asked preparing to open It. She read It through quickly, seemed not to understand, read it again, let her hands drop to her side and looked at ihem with wondering eyes. "Mother ’’ she was breathless—father is dead. He has left me $10,000." CHAPTER 111. Mrs. Farnham’s face lighted up in ecstasy. The facts confirmed her faith. “There,” slie cried. “That proves it was Ben. Money for Myra’s fingers.” “Mother, that’s what all the occult stuff is built upon—a coincidence. Besides you did not hear the name. You are not clairaudient. The medium did not give the name Myra. She fumbled it, said Nylle, Niobe, Nykle, the nearest she came to it was Nyra. You supplied the name Myra.” “I will not argue with you, Myra. What is in the letter?” Arthur had shown signs of embarrassment with the announcement of the fortune. He mumbled an excuse, saying he would leave them to discuss family matters. “Not at all,” laughed Myra. “Good fortune and cryptic messages must not interfere with lea. There is nothiug private In the letter. 1 will read It.” 182 Grover Street, N. Y. May 29th, 1919. My Dear Niece: Mrs. Farnham put her hand Impulsively on Myra’s shoulder. “Niece? Who signs It?” ‘‘Abner Campion.” “You are not his niece. Hia name is not Campion.” “Really, 1 had better hurry for my train.” This from Arthur. Myra held him with a gesture while she read; It is my sad duty to Inform you that iny poor brother—- " Not his brother,” Interjected Mrs. Farnham. my poor brother, your dear father. died suddenly three days ago. Though you may rot remember tiini I am sure that the natural relationship will give you a pang. He oft--n spoke of you. I find In looking over his papers that you are the beneficiary to the amount of SIO,OOO in a paid-up policy life Insurance. * am writing yo; thl? briefly to acquaint you with toe facts. We telegraphed— “We?” again interjected Mrs. Farnbam. “Who are ‘we’?" we telegraphed to the only address I found, a very old one. The telegram was returned. Perhaps the postoffice may be able to forward this letter. As soon as 1 hear from you I will write you nil the details and acquaint you with the progress of the claim with the insurance company. Your affectionate uncle, ABNER CAMPION. ‘Tie is not your uncle. There is not a drop of Campion blood in his body.” "Step-brothers?” asked Arthur. Myra was surprised. Ho was Inquisitive again. “What does It matter,” she cried Joyfully "Uncle or no uncle, I am to have ten thousand dollars. Mother, we can live like millionaires while my M. D. sign is hiring patients into my office. Perhaps I can even start in New Y'ork.” When Arthur bade them good-by h hud Myra's promise to correspond. In h r bed tlmt night the girl fell asleep to the vision of a plain black sign bearing in gilt letters. MYRA CAMPION. M. D. In the morning Mrs. Farnham had a thousand qnt.'tions to aH: “Where did Ben Cum plot, get the money to take out all that insurance? Abner is rich, but he would not give Beu a penny.” "What was their relation, mother?” “Benjamin’s father, a widower, married Abner’s mother, a widow. The elder boy, Aimer, took his stepfather's name. Abner was Ben’s evil Influence. Your father was ail I said, kind, lovins, gentle, but shiftless like all Inventors. I could have stood that, but he was tempted ” Biio did not finish. "I am not a little girl, mother. Tell me. Was there another woman?” “There was no other woman.” When tlie second letter from Abner arrived he acknowledged Myra’s receipt of ids news and wrote: “You may not know that eight years ago your father married again .” “Ben married?” cried Mrs. Farnham. “Who was she? What was her name? Look, Myra, look for her name. Was it like yours. Myra or Nyra or Nykie—or any of those names the medium gave?” “Oh, mother, then there was another woman.” “While I lived with Ben Campion there was no other woman. Read ou to- the name.” “ Married agnin. He and his second wife were very devoted. In writing this I mean not the slightest reflection on your mother. I have always preserved the deepest respect for her ” (To Be Continued.)

Bail a Fashion Hints

By AGNES AYRES, Star in Paramount Pictures. Fans are one of the high spots of fashion —no evening costume Is complete without its matching or contrasting fan. The newest ones from Paris are made wholly of sequins, with sticks of tortoise shell or mother of pearl. Next In favor are the lace fans, then come exquisite affairs of hand painted silk on Georgette, some of them old, some of them copies of the trifles that far outweighed themselves in power, the playthings of queens and courtesans. Last week I saw a wonderful Chinese affair of carved Ivory sticks, with just a band at the top, painted with wonderful little Oriental figures. One of the newest of the lace models is made with a loose, square cut flounce of the lace to wave lazily and gracefully In the breeze. And while we are on tha subject of accessories, you will find two of the newest bags In the sketch. The upper one is of the finest needlework, such as our ancestors indulged in. and was one of a group In several sizes and shapes. The subject of the needle are most conventional and^ quaint—beautiful, hoop skirted ladies, Pierots, I’ierettes, ctipids, dancing through well groomed sylvan scenes. Below is a fur bag. kolinsky—that much prized and precious peltry—mounted on one of the new and most artistic bag tops of composition—great yellow daisies on a blue and brown ground. PUSS IN BOOTS JR. ' nr David Tory “How strange It seems to once more travel on foot.” said Puss. "Yes. we shall miss the Good Gray Horse,” said Tom Thumb. “But where are Robin and Richard?” asked Puss. “They told us they were going into the forest to chop wood. I hear no sound of an axe.” “Ah, well, never mind,” said Tom Thumb. "We can keep on our way. No doubt we will fall in with some new adventure before we have gone a great distance.” And sure enough this proved to be the case. On reaching a wild place with rocks and deep caverns, sandy stretches and low hills little Torn Thumb said, “This Is indeed a bad country.” As ho finished speaking a g: range-looking man came toward them. “You hide behind a tree.” said Puss, "while I talk to him. If lie tries to harm me you rush out and hit him with your sword.” The man evidently though Puss was alone, for he said. “Are you lost, my young friend?” “No,” replied Puss, “I am on my way to Mother Goose.” “You had better turn back, then, for this Is a wilderness.” "Do you live here?” asked Puss Junior. “Yes, I do,” he replied, “and I ask everybody the same question who comes along.” “What is It’" asked Puss. “How many strawberries grow In the sea?” replied the man. “Ila. ha I” laughed Puss, “I hare been to sea In a pea green boat; also In a ship with masts oi gold and sails of silk, but I never fished for strawberries. Are you sure they are not little red fish?” The man began to laugh. This made Puss Junior angry. “As many as red herrings grow in the wood.” cried Puss, and off he marched to where Tom Thumb was hiding. “If that mar. thinks he’s going to make" fun of me, I'll give him an answer that will show him I’m up to his tricks.” “What did ha say?” Inquired Tom Thumb. “The man in the wilderness asked me. How many strawberries grew in the sea? I answered him as I thought good. As many as red herrings grew in the wood.” “Ila. ha!” laughed Tom, “pretty good answer. That will make him think a thing or two. Good for you, Puss Junior.” Then Puss picked up Tom and placing him on his shoulder, marched out of the wildnerness as fast as he could.— Copyright, 1921.

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by i 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 dally in an interesting review of their nome life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] Mrs. Hooper spent the greater part ot the day in the laundry ironing the curtains while Roger and Henry finished painting the woodwork upstairs. While she was at work the bride ran in for a little visit with her and sat on a low stool darning stockings while she talked. “It Is absurd for Mr. Hooper to call the little lunch I am giving for you on Monday a party,” laughed the Bride, “it won't be at all like the elegant one Mrs. Chapin has invited us to on Friday of next week.” “All the same I think *t Is very lovely of you to take so much trouble,” replied Mrs. Hooper. “1 feel so Important having three social affairs in my honor and Henry loves to tease me about my sudden popularity.” “It Isn't sudden Mrs. Hooper,” the Bride assured her, “but I suppose it took the fact that we were about to lose you to rouse us to a joint of being | social.” “I haven’t been what you would call very social myself," Mrs. Hooper went on, “and I'm only now beginning to realize that I ought to have seen much more of my neighbors.” “But If they all didn't see as much of you as Mrs. Campbell and I have. It was their own fault,” exclaimed the Bride. “Every one in Mayfield knew that you were at home every afternoon at four o’clock with a cup of tea to snare with them if they felt like dropping in.” “Well not so many of them came unless I specially Invited them for a certain day,” said Mrs. Hooper, “and I am sorry that more of the women In Mayfield didn't adopt the plan as I did and hare a regular social hour In their home each afternoon whether there was any company or not.” “It Las done wonders for your children whether your neighbors shared It or not.” interrupted the Bride, “and those of us who have enjoyed the Intimacy of your afternoon tea hour on the pon h and In the comfy old living room are going to be very lonesome without It." “I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mrs. Campbell would supplant me in a very short time.” laughed Mrs. Hooper. “Yes—she If any one will be yotrr successor as the model housekeeper of Marfield,” assented the Bride, "already her heme is beginning to run like a perfect model of yours.” “It Is ready wonderful what she has accomplished In such a short time,' said Mrs. Hooper musingly. “And when you think what she was a 1 year ago,” continued the Bride, “and what a moss everything used to be in all the time It is really little less than marvelous.”

“It hasn't been easy for her either,’* commented Mrs. Hooper. “She isn't naturally painstaking or f, nd of details, but she has most unusual determination when she starts to do anything, and when she once made up her mind to keep house exactly as I did nothing could stop her.'* “I think nearly ail the women in our economic section at the club are In earnest about running their homes hereafter on a budget, don't you?" asked the Bride. "It certainly seems so to me.” answered Mrs. Hooper in a pleased tone. "The only one who seems really hopeless is Mrs. Briggs. I don't believe she'll ever change her disorganized, extravagant way of living.” “I’m not so sure of that," exclaimed the Bride. “From what I’ve heard her say she is very anxious to put some of these ideas of yours into practice, but she.seems to be determined not to do anything if it has been suggested by yon.” “She just doesn't like me then ?" observed Mrs. Hooper, “and because I’m the one who is pointing out the things to be : done she won't be advised.” | “That’s what I really believe la the matter with Mrs. Briggs that makes her so contrary end determined to make little of the plan of housekeeping on the budget system.” “Well if she comes into the fold a* the result of my going away,” laughed Hooper, “my leaving Mayfield is well i worth while.” ' The menus for the three meals oa Thursday are: BREAKFAST.
