IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS **

Women Make Good in All Endeavors Have Attempted Everything but Plumbing and Blacksmithing. By JULIA C. ITEXDEK.SC>>'. The activities of women, In a great measure, seem to b© disturbing some of the masculine minds of today. That there are but three lines of work which women have not ventured upon to date—plumbing, blacksmlthing and care and construction of macbinery—may be the cause of such disturbance. The time may not be far distant v> hen they will enter these fields with as much avidity und resourcefulness as they have entered other endeavors as hazardous as are these. It is with a great degree of satisfaction to those who have encouraged and forwarded women's interests to know that women are making good wherever they have been placed, and that they are coming into their own through their ambition and efforts in a large way at this time. That they are showing gradual increases in occupational work in Indiana is shown by the census bureau statistics of 1920. Tbe predominance of women is shown in the following ocupatious: School teachers, 17,175 women as against 5,170 men; bookkeepers, cashiers and accountants, 10,543 women as against 8.100 men; stenographers and typists, 12,709 women as against 810 men. Unusual occupations for women are listed as follows: Coal mine operatives Include 21 women; carpenters, 4; laborers In steel mills and blast furnaces, £O7; dray women, expresswomen and teamsters, IS; laborers on steam railroads, 100; physicians and surgeons, 194; clergy women, 114; women judges, lawyers and Justices of the peace, 40; commercial travelers, 100. Dressmakers and seamstresses decreased lu number from 13,4i© in 1910, to 6,571 In 1920, this probably due to ready-made garments being so attractively and cheaply made. A resume of business women reveals many new and novel ventures. In business groups in Indianapolis aione are to be found automobile Insurance and saleswomen, interior decorators, goldsmith, farmers, bee keeper, advertisers, wagon maker, candy manufacturer, abstractor, anaesthesist. syndicate writers, real estate dealers, documentary photography, costume jeweler, partner in service truck sales company, sculptor, legal clerk, architect, dentist, saleswomen for life and tire insurance, convention reporter, lawyers, justice of the peace, partners in stone construction and sand and gravel construction, partner in road building, educational directors in large department stores, authors, physician specialists, managers of trust, safety deposit and steamship department in local banks, manager of woman’s bank department, owner and manager of letter shop, actuary In Ilf© insurance company, music composer. These are but a few of the many activities in which Indianapolis women are engaged as well as those which have been theirs for years. There are still men who contend that woman’s place is In the kitchen. During the last campaign there was the man who said, when a notary called to register his wife’s vote, “She’ll do nothing of the kind,’’ and addressing his wife, directed her to the kitchen with the order, “Go back there where you belong, I'll attend to this.’’ But that man will, if this wife dies, have a long, hard tight to get another for the day Is past when the so-called lord and master will be allowed to think for his wife and direct her movements. This is a progressive age in which we live. Women are not quite shut out now to any vocation. Consequently they are coming to the fore, and are proving their ability in a way not to be questioned.

MYRA’S FINGERS By A. R . FARL E 1 G H

Th* Story opens with Myra Campion, her mother and Arthur Brownson taking part in a spiritualistio seance In Chicago. Mrs. Campion, herself a believer and something of a clairvoyant, through the medium was able to see Benjamin, her one time husband, who following a divorce, had married a younger woman and was found burned to death in a shack he had used as a workshop. Ben Campion’s life was Insured for $210,000. The peculiar manner of his death and the large amount of insurance arouses suspicion and the company refuses to pay. The many mysterious twists In the ciu*e ore solved finally by messages from the dead. CHAPTER IV—Continued. “As I wrote you before, there was an | inquest and a verdict. Tbe widow and ! 1 have resolved to fight in the courts. We Invite you to join with us and suggest that you and your mother come to | New York to consult with us. You wIU [ be under no expense as Mrs. Campion and I have undertaken the legal prose, cutlon and tho cost of your Journey and maintenance will be charged to this legal fund. I will be glad to advance whatever amount you may need. “The whole conspiracy story, I have learned, was concocted by one of the company's young lawyers, a fellow who was gassed during the war and has not yet recovered his equilibrium ” Myra felt herself breathe In gasps as her eyes refused to follow tho words. A trembling fear possessed her, she dreaded to read a name—but the name was there. “ Arthur Brownson.” “Oh, Arthur!” The letter fell to the floor. She sagged forward In her chair Her mother ran over and put her arm* around her. “Mother,’’ she whispered. “It was a trick, a trap! The love, the questions, the medium, the stance, the revelations —all—everything—a snare! Oh, the infamy of It! Ills love was a plot.” CHAPTER V. Myra and her mother went to New York. The girl's first visit after securing quarters there was to one of those so-called pet-dog apartmenthouses which are begtnlng to line the broad concourse In the Bronx. The purl of vary giddy melody, “Alexander's Rag Time Baud," came through the door of the four-room flat. She pressed the bell button. The music st pp.> l sharp, ir, the doorway stood Mllllcent Campion Myra was amazed. She was looking at a child—un eerie child, in solemn, deep mourning, with a woman's heavy masses of copper hair, waved and colled Rbout her little bead. Tho face saddened Myra. She could not see any s.ml behind the large sky-blue eyes, yet it was ala lgl ing fa shrewd-, ; ■ hard, certainly defiant, alert, geulal. curiously trustful, too, though It showed the wisdom of suffering. Myra thought

of her beloved soldier boys’ faces when they went back to the trenches from the hospital, with the freshness gone, marked by the war brand, yet humorous still and brave to play the game to the end. This was the same kind of face. She liked the woman at once. “1 am Myra Campion,” she said. “I would have kuown you anywhere for Beu’s daughter.” She led the way Into an assemblage of glaring Installment furniture, punctuated with gaudy cjrnaments of brass and plaster and pointed to a large armchair. She’ Closed the music box. “Were you displeased with the music?" she asked. “it must have seemed”—she hesitated in a house of mob ruing. .Sometime I get so sad, so lonely, I put on the craziest record. I hope I may forget, : but the teapa come through the jazz. You don't think hard of me because 1 toiyk your mother’s place? It was” —she hesitated—“unoecu pied.” “No, I do not,” said Myra, “nor does my mother We thank you for having made my father happy.” i Tbe child-woman was touched. She : took the girl’s hand. “Your father often spoko of you with love and' she hesitated—“regret for losing you. He sail! your mother would make you a noble woman.’ Myra was puzzled by the woman's occasional momentary pauses before using some ordinary word, in the fashion of a foreigner, unpractlced In a language, xvho mentally translates. “I owe all the happiness of my life to your father." Mllllcent exclaimed. Her eyes filled with tears, Myra's heart warmed to her. The bel! rang. Doctor Abner,” she explained. “Your nncle.' He was * tall man, of a full habit, clothed like Mrs Campion, tn Inky black of a cut not only medically professional, but almost clerical. His brow was white and large and his eyes commanding, exes of n hypnotist. Dr Tampion was grave, almost melancholy in his manner. There was an air about him of sorrowful urbanity that •'©med to proclaim him beneficent to suffering humanity. Mrs. Farnliam’s words had prejudiced Myra against this man. but she found herself wavering. She could not but admire Ills mien of power and relish th© suavity with which he welcomed her to New York. Yes, on the whole, she approved of I'r. Abner Campion. At his suggestion, Mllllcent added some details of Benjamin’s minutes of life. Your father xras work'ng In a shack on the marsh, this side of Mamarone-k,” she sud "MV h carded with a family named Scatters Your father ha l many Inventions, but I am afraid he bad not much" she lie* Bated—"concentration. Maybe T short ted any persistence—that 1- :ho word. lie went from Idea to Idea, lie was praetlctEiirly Interested In a plan to make stereotype nitfri.-e* l don't kii"XV exactly xxlat. they are- they were to save printers a great deal of money. They xve-i made with !!u!oM. lie had n great deal of it there. It was this celluloid—" She stepped and cried gently. "Celluloid is very Inflammable,’’ said Abner IV© attribute the sivlft spread of the flame* to that." “Then he had a plan fur making tiles.” Mrs Campion resumed “He had set up a kiln fur baking them, I should say, firing them. He was Imitating seme old Italian. What is the name. Doctor?” “Botticelli.’ "1 can never think of that name. Also he had a process for making little"—she hesitated •"sf."t:jettcs. like the obi Greeks mad', f,,r which su-’h high prices arc paid They ore culled -what are they called. Doctor?” ’’Tnnagara figurines.” “Yes When 1 was at the shack just before dark he was preparing them for the kiln They were damp and soft The clay was Micky. Me removed a wet i cloth and showed them to me. He said thex had ju*t come from the artist.' We found five or six of them in the , kiln and some of the tiles." She showed the statuettes and the tiles ranged on the mantel. “They xvere the Inst things yonr father had in his hand Would you like one —as a souvenir?” Myra chose a Tnnagara Imitation, the' figure of a woman with great wings and xylnrt-blown draperies, a palm branch , In one hand a garland In the other. Mllllcent went on to tell the story of that Inst night, but broke down again and Abner had to flnGli It to her soft sobbing. lie adde nothing to what he had already written, blit he reiterated that the yarn of a conspiracy had been built by Arthur Brownson.

Daily Fashion Hints Mm

BY AGNES ATKES Star In Paramount Pictures. Shoes are a never failing source of interest that has been abnormally stimulated by our short skirts. In spit* of the adage about telling a “lady” by her glove* and her boots there are always women who grow a Uttla caralesa about the latter when her skirts sweep to the floor. But with one's skirts at one’s knees or thereabouts one’s shoe bill* Jump. The shoemakers have neither been insensible of their advantage or loath to take advantage of it. Shoes know no seasons for fashion now, anew model being born every minute. Last week in my shopping I saw two that were startling to even my Jaded fancy. One pair, the center ones, were evening slippers of black brocaded satin, and had utilized the flair for jewelext buckles, buttons and pendants In a most unusual manner. The center strap, from the vamp to the strap that holds the heel firmly, was not of the brocade, but a sparkling and flexible line of brilliants! Above ! n the circle Is anew model for street w©ar. Os black suede, low cut, with two buckled straps, their startling feature Is In the suede that covers the heel being drawn up under the Instep and then turned back In two points like a collar and faced with black kid. Faced xvith scarlet to match the scarlet Spanish heels we ar© xvearlng, the effect xvould Indeed b© startling, though not to every woman's taste. Another less startling fancy .Is to put a tongue of frilled satin or velvet on a brocad©d shoe, the tongue matching some one of the colors in the brocade. Mrs. R. P. Edwards Is Named to Board Mrs. Richard P. Edwards of Pern was appointed a member of tbe State board of education today by Governor Warren T. McCray. Mrs. Edwards Is the second woman to be appointed a member of the board. Siie was named to succeed Frank Highway, former superintendent of schools In Lake County, xvho died recently.

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given Daily in Times. [Tbe Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget rhat Mrs. Hooper hat evolved and found practical. Follow them dally in an Interesting review of their nume life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] FRIDAY, ‘‘Well, Mayfield is certainly sorry to see Mary go,” remarked Annie Relle, as the family gat gathered about tbe dinner table on {he return of Mrs. Hooper and her sister-in-law from the farewell party the \A Oman's Club bad given her Ln tbe afternoon. “And it was so wonderful of them to give me this lovely wrist watch for a keepsake,” said Mrs. Hooper, glancing admiringly at tbe small gold timepiece on a black silk band that encircled her wrist. “I never expected to own one in my life.” “The Bride had much to do with your having the wrist watch, I understand,” Belle went on. “Mrs, Chapin told me all about it.” “What did she say?" asked Mrs. Hooper curiously. “I had no idea who selected the present for the cluh.” “Weil, it was the Bride,” said Belie. “All members of the club contributed toward the present, and then they ap* pointed a committee to buy you something. Beveral of them suggested that it would be nice Just to give you the check and let you use it for anything rou liked.” “I kind of wish they had,” said the practical-minded Mrs. Hooper, “then I could have bought something useful for the house ln Indianapolis.” “That’s exactly what the Bride said you would do, and she wanted you to have something for yourself as a remembrance from the club.” “But Jewelry Is something that you'd think they'd never decide on giving me.” laughed Mrs. Hooper. “I've never worn anything iu all the years they’ve known me but my little pearl brooch and my wedding ring.” “iou are quite right ln supposing they never would have thought of it,” said ter sister-in-law. “They suggested electric cooking paraphernalia of every description as being what you would like better than anything or a new reading lamp and even a handsome wardrobo trunk was suggested.” "Oh, 1 do wish they'd given me that," exclaimed Mrs. Hooper regretfully. ‘•Well, the Bride nearly gave ln to the suggestion of the wardrobe trunk,” laughed Belie. “She said hers was such a joy and that she believed you'd love to have one like it.” “How did she come to Influence them to buy a watch then?” asked Henry, “If the trunk was ln such high favor.” “She finally convinced them that you’d probably buy yourself a wardrobe trunk some time, but that you never would buy a watch.” answered Belle, “and, besides, something that you could wear and always have around would be a much more Intimate gift from the club than s trunk that would be tbe greater part of the time in the attic or storeroom.” “We will probably have no attic or storeroom where we will have to live ln the city,” broke ln Mr. Hooper glumly. “Oh. there you go again Henry," exclaimed Mrs. Hooper, “of course we will have some place to store our trunks no matter how small our quarters are.” “But what finally convinced them that she was right about a watch being the best thing to give you," Belle wont on without noticing Henry’s reference to the cramped quarters he expected in their new home or his wife’s cheerfal difference of opinion, “was that when Betty was ill you had remarked a number of times how very handy the wrist watch was that she always wore, and that it was the only piece of jewelry that you would like to own.” “1 do remember saying that," acknowledged Mrs. Hooper, “but of course I never ln the world expected to have one.”

“That’s Just what the bride said was the reason you should have It on this occasion,” said Belle, “and I certainly agree with her.” “I wonder If I’ll get a present at my party tomorrow,” piped up Helen. “Why the very Idea of yon expecting a present,” frowned her Auntls Belle, “isn’t a party enough for you?” “Wtll mother wasn’t expecting a present,” Helen answered back, “but she got one so I thought It might happen to me, too.” “Your mother will be a gTeat loss to Mayfield,” continued Belle, who had been very much Impressed by the evident esteem In which her sister-in-law was held by the club women. “Yonll live a long time In the city before your neighbors will make as much fuss about you as those women did today.” "Well I’ve lived nearly twenty years in Mayfield,” Mrs. Hooper reminded hee. The three meals on Saturday are: BREAKFAST. Baked Apples Cereal Spanish Omelet Popovers Coffee LUNCHEON. Fish Cakes Baked Potatoes Fruit Cake Cocoa DINNER. Bice Tomato Soup Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb Creamed Potatoes Spinach Chocolate Layer Cake FASHION niXTS FROM PARIS. According to the latest fashion Idea* here, milady’s handbag mast match her gloves in color. Gloves, by the way, are appearing striped with purple, green and white and the bags are being made to blend with these colors. It la a noticeable fact, however, that there aren't so many bags being used as In the past! This fact Is ascribed to the longer skirts the ladles are wearing. They cover up the bigger part of the stocking and—ahem!—make It possible agr.ln to carry money In a place much more Interesting than a handbag. Beauty doctors are now specializing in the reforming of women's legs. Two specialists in Rue de la Paix are winning fame by reducing the 6ize of women's ankles and increasing the size of the calf. They have not, as yet, found a way to take the curve out of bow-legs and some of the ladies of society here are hoping almost tearfully that something will develop In ‘this direction. The latest In hat trimmings here Is the sea shell. On the smaller black or dark-colored hats the white shells add an effect very pleasing to the eye. Thet.s ts no danger of the supply running short At least, so say the shell gatherers along the Atlantic Ocean.
