IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Women Give Politicians Much Worry More Active Part Conceded in Coming Elections by Both Parties. BY JULIA C. HENDEESON. Political leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties are now facing the problem of incorporating women into the party organizations. The Democratic State central committee will be called upon, when it meets here Feb. 16, to determine to what extent women shall be taken into the party's councils. The Republican State central committee has lust concluded a discussion of this subject, and has adopted resolutions Inviting women to participate in all party activities and encouraging them to be candidates for such offices “as they are qualified to fill.” The women will now' seek to determine wha{...offices the men think “they are qualified to fill.” The question of the participation of women in the activities of’ the party organizations has been precipitated by the approach of the spring primaries at which the precinct committeemen arc to be elected and the first steps taken toward the organization of the party machinery. This will be the first Opportunity for the women to make their influence felt in their party organizations. Since their enfranchisement by the Nineteenth amendment, they have visited the ballot box only to cast their votes in the presidential election of 1920 and the municipal primaries and municipal elections of 1921. Now they are ready to plunge 6(111 farther Into the intricacies of party government. Apparently the leaders of both parties are disposed to welcome the women and afford them an opportunity to learn more about political organizations. Benjamin Bosse of Evansville, State chairman of the Democratic party, who has been in Indianapolis conferring with leaders here, seems to favor the resolution which the women’s State committee recently adopted declaring that if a man is elected precinct committeeman he shall appoint a .woman as assistant, or.if a woman is chosen she shall appoint a man as assistant. The same principal would be applied in the co'unty and district organizations. This resolution will be presented to the State committee at the February meeting and it will be asked that it be made a part of the party’s rules. The political leaders are sailing un ■ charted seas as they seek to capture the feminine votes and the indications are that they will precede cautiously until they gain more definite information as to women’s ways in politics.

] PUSS IN BOOTS JR ' "Hr T>ld Co pt Puss Junior was a (rood climber, and he went up the trunk of the tree at a good rate. The Blackbird's nest was almost at the top, but Puss was not discouraged. “Draw your sword and fight for your life!” he_called out to little Tom Thumb. This was exactly what Tom was doing, so: as soon as he found himself carried oft by the Blackbird he had drawn his tiny sword. But, oh, dear me! the bird's feathers were so thick and Tom's weapon was so small that at first the Blackbird hardly notjeed it at all. By and by, however, Tom’s thrusts began to tell, and by the time he was dropped into the nest the Blackbird had been stabbed several times. The nest was empty, apd as soon as x Tom stood upon his feet he swung his sword in the air and cried out: “Away with sou, villain of a Blackbird.” The Blackbird perched himself on the edge of

I'm no robber, neither am Ia villain." Tom Thumb was about to reply when tbe head of Puss Junior appeared Above the rim of the nest. The Blackbird flew off and perched on a limb at a safe distance. “You had better make yonr escapi,” cried Puss, “for I would have wrung your cowardly neck haa i caught yon." “Let me explain," 'replied the Blackbird. But puss didn’t wait to listen but picked up little Tom Thumb. “It was a narrow escape, Tom,” he said. “Crawl into my pocket and I will climb down." “Won’t you let me explain!” cried the Blackbird a second time. "Explain what?” asked Puss Junior angrily. “I don’t see that there is anything to explain. I’d like to cut off your head with my trusty sword.” ‘‘You mistake my intentions,” said the Blackbird. “I was just telling Tom Thumb that the reason I carried him off was because I was lonly up here in my empty rfest and wanted a comrade.” “Yes, that was what he wan saying," called Tom Thumb from the inside ol Puss Junior’s pocket. “But all the same, I’m glad to be in your pocket, dear Puss. Our black friend here would "probably have fed me on worms had you not rescued me—and I’m not fond of that sort of food.” “Walt and hear my story!” cried the Blackbird. “Not now,” said Puss. “Come down to the ground if you want to talk." And then he climbed down as fast as he could, being careful not to spill Tom out of his pocket.—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.)

HOTEL EMPLOYS DANCING MATES FOR VISITORS ‘Lizards’ and ‘ Lizardines l Accommodate *Tired l Husband or Pleasure-Seeking Wife. | NICE, Jan. 27.—Lizardines have Joined i the company of lounge lizards on tbe j staffs of Nice hotels as the latest "mod- | ern convenience" of tbe fashionable hotel ! restauranl. The Mzardinq cure Is presented to tired business men to inoeculate them with the dance habit. But don't make the mistake of confusing the female of the lounge lizard with our old acquaintance the vamp. The lizardine is on the regular pay roll of the hotel; she punches the time clock beside the head waiter. The head waiter busies himself at tbe table of the henpaeked husband, who is listening to how old he is getting because be doesn’t dance. "If madame cares to dance perhaps she would permit me to introduce one of our professional dancers. Cost? Oh, nothing sir. The hotel pays them. Fnless perhaps you may wish to give a little tip. If m'sieu wishes to try some steps with a lizardine, sir?” WAITER DOES INTRODUCING. The waiter with her little formality introduces a young Swede, American, or Frenchman, who proceeds to dance as simply or Intricately as his partner wishes. At the end of the dhnee he conduct ) her to her table, bows and departs. If madame wishes another dance, and the lizard is free. Just nod to him or signal him as you would a waiter. The lizardine's specialty is to help the man who refuses to dance with his wife, because he hates “these new-fangled steps” to regain .confidence. When not otherwise engaged tbe lizards and liz ardines dance together. They go out on ' the floor immediately, so that the guests won’t be anoyed by the natural hesitancy iof being the first and always the possibility of being the only couple on the floor. The average tip to a liztrd or lizardine Is from about 50 cents to a dol- ' tar, depending upon how many times ! they have been used during the afternoon I or evening.

MY RA’S FINGERS By A. R . FARL EI G H — ■ • ———

The testimony of MUllcent Campion at the trial which was to decide the Identity of the man found dead in the burned shuck, was truly a revelation of a strange life. The questioning of Dr. Abner Campion relative to the death of his step brother, and the examination of thiee physician* who hod examined the body, produced Intense interest in tbe courtroom. The charge of the defense that the affair was a conspiracy to rob Insurance ompanlcs, brought storm* of protest and there w T ere threats of personal violence. It was charged that MUllcent was In league with Abner Campion In the robbery scheme and that she was only acting a part when she threw horself on the body of a prepared cadavA- and cried hysterically, “My Iqisbund, my husband!” The narrative! grows In interest as It proceeds. Take up the story at this point.

CHAPTER X—Continued. John Ahrens, a grocer, knew Benjamin j very well—Campion had very gooff teeth. ! line, white splendid teeth—saw the body i from the grave—not at all like Ben Campion. Peter Washer, ditto, ditto; knew Ben, fine teeth, saw corpses from grave, nothing like Ben. William Hayes, ditto, ditto. Mrs. Ellen Mackellar, keeper of boarding house, New Rochelle —Dr. Abnei j Campion one of her boarders —remembered night of fire very distinctly because next morning, learning of tbe death I of Benjamin Campion, remarked to her j daughter that the doctor had not been j to dinner the night before. I Margaret Mackellar, daughter, testified i to I he same effect. Mary Grandison, whose seat at table was opposite Dr. Abner, swore that the doctor was not at dinner—she would have known if he had sat opposite her. Mrs. Grace Jaycox saw the doctor go out at 6 o’clock. Thomas Jaycox. her sun and Mias Betty Saunders, swore they were in the parior and saw the doctor come In at 9:30 o'clock; It might have been 9 20-It could not have been 8:20. Mjss Saunders re membered looking at Wfr wrist watch—it w|s later than 9:15. | John Gearing, keeper of a garage on the Boston road, testified that a man giving the name William Aredu, living on Webster avenue, hired a BuieSC road st,er of film at 0:45 o’clock on the night of the flrJT’and returned it at 9:10 o'clock and paid $lO cash—Arden had said hewlshed to run up to Port Chester In a hu-ry. j “Have yoq seen Arden since then?" | “Yes. I see him now." i The crowd sat up, something coming. I "Where do you see him?” “Bitting over there." lie pointed to Abner Campion. “You mean that the man known .in court as Dr. Abner Campion is the William Arden who .hired your luUßoMto at 6.45 o’clock and returned It at 9:l<> o’clock on the evening of May 26, 1919?'' “That’s the man." “Any chance of your being mistaken?" “Not a chance. That’s William Arden : who hired my machine.” Dr, Abram Btcinmetz of Davidson nve- j nne and Dr. Mandei of West! Fordham road, /the Bronx, New York, testified that they had been called in at different times la the fail of 1918 and the spring of 1919 to treat Benjamin Campion in his Concourse apartment for excessive drinking. Each time he was) on the verge of delirium tremens, but he yielded easily to treatinetn and gave ‘them to understand that H was only occasionally that he Indulged to such an extent. A gasp went through the throng wheff they learned that was the whole case fen the defense. They had beta waiting patiently for evidence of the substitution of the body and none had been offered. Myra's lawyers had weakened all allegations by their cross-examinations. Now they voiced the feeling of the people

.when they asked almost at .the beginning of their summing up: “Where is the cadaver which the defense promised to produce? Their counsel was to prove that a body had been used to simulate that of Benjamin .Campion. Where is it ? No such body haa been produced Why? Gentlemen, there was no such tody to produce.” | Again the lawyers on each side went i all over the case, enlarging, amplifying, ! stressing, accenting, arguing, iterating j and reiterating till at last ihe Judge | was left to make his charge. It was a i short and simple charge which may be stated In two paragraphs: 1. The whole question turns on the Identity of the body found in the \ shack. If you are satisfied that the body was that of Benjamin Campion you must decide for the plaintiff. 2. If you doubt the identity of that body you must decide for the defendant, for then the plaintiff has failed to prove her case. The jury were not In doubt. They did not leave the box. After a short con- | saltation among the twelve the foreman arose and announced that the jury had determined it was the body of Benjamin J Campion that was found In the fire and their verdict wns against the insurance : company aud unanimously for the plaintiff.

CHAPTER XL - Within three Myra was three times surprised. First, she thought that, following the verdict, the companies would quickly pay her SIO,OOO, but the companies appealed and let it be known that- they would fight for years So Myra’s little fortune receded Into astronomical distances. Good came wfth bad- Dr. Brockway Frothtngham, the distinguished specialist in infant's and children’s diseases, wrote that he admired her career, needed an extra assistant, had ascertained her qualifications and offered her a position in his office. Myra accepted at once. It might lead to much In .New York. Would she have taken It if she had known that Dr. Brocknway Frothinghem wqs a large stockholder In the Foresight Insurance Company and that Arthur Bronson had Induced him to make the offer? Arthur said it would be for “the good of the company" but The third was a double surprise. Dr. Aimer Campion was mpeh disconcerted when she announced that she was to reside In the city. The next day MUllcent called, told them she had rented a bungalow in Matnaroneck and begged them to take the Bronx apartment off her hands. It suited Mrs. Farnhatn and Myra, so the bargain was made. The girl half suspected Abner’s hand In this. Why, she did not know, but she suspected.

So behold Myra settled In New York with a prospect of soon hanging out her M. D sign and her mother happy because near her favorite Mrs Atwater. Within a few weeks Mis Farnhani came home, wrought up, excited. Myra know the symptoms. “You have ge.*n that medium." “The message came again, Myra.” The girl extended her hand. “About my fingers? Oh. mother!" She wished she had never heajd the words, “Myra's fingers.” She remembered with the old thrill, where bee fingers were ’ when the “message” first cam* “I wished you were with me.” Mrs. Farnbnm said. “I had no vision this time.” Her voice went very low. "The message did not come from your father. Mrs. Atwater said afterward that when 1 had the vision in Chicago it may not have been from the Beyond. I was rlarvoyant and 1 mat have .>n Benjamin In life at a distance, possibly in trouble— he may have needed one of us." The girl’s was that the medium had read the testimony at the trial and believed with the Insurance companies that her father was not dead. “I feel so troubled.” Mrs. Farnham went on. “Mrs. Atwater got the message again, ‘Myra’s Fingers.’ but,, she could not V"rn who was the sender. Something will happen. It means trouble—trouble.’’ This was the only episode In their life for three months. Myra did not see much of MUllcent. Her duties kept her occupied. Her mother made occasional visits to Mamaroneck. One evening she came home depressed, sad. “I fear Milllcent ts ill.” she said. “She seems to mope Rnd brood. Today shff was listless and would not talk. Her eyes were filmed.” "Probably reaction after the long t rain." "No, she wont .through that and recovered. This cf.p llls to be a gradual fading of her energy.” “1 will visit her Sunday.”" The blinds were down, that Sunday afternoon as Myra approached the pretty hunsJllow on the Sound shore. There scented no life about nor within. As she came nearer an outbreak of violent talk struck here ears, a woman's voice. Tlic girl withdrew a little. Bhe had no desire to hear secrets. The woman’s tones died down. The soft, even utterance of a man took their place. Interrupted stridently by the woman’s angry erics. She recognized the voices now. Mlllicent and Abner 1n a quarrel. Two minutes later the doctor came to the door, looking disturbed and vicious. At sight of the waiting girl he composed his features until he seemed as placid as though Just pronouncing his usttal Imaginary benediction. He hurried to her and held out his hand. “I fear our little sister ts broken down with grief,” he Intoned. “The loss of her loved fine is continually present. Sometimes she seems to have delusions that his spirit hovers near hqr. You heard her now?” (To lie Continued.)

Daily Fashion Hints

-rtf’* • v a.; ■- \ i^jlfll (Lkv - T^|Jp/A .a>coo vhg j>\ '

By AGNES AYRES, Star in Paramount Pictures. I am happy to .say that the large hat with a drooping brim Is still with us. There Is nothing as becoming to the mujorlty of women, nor quite as feminine. The upper hat In the sketch Is this modsi, dependent for Its newness on the color and weave of the straw and its, wreath of cosmos. Pale gray basket weave straw ts trimmed with a delightful wreath of cosmos, blue and violet and rose./ The blue Is repeated In a narrow gros-grain binding on the brim of the hat. Below It Is a black Russian turban, the favorite of the winter season, trimmed with a roll of bright yellow straw, the last gasp of the rolled turban, and a htige round bunch of cut yellow beads, each with a dot of a jet bead, like a bloss'ia end. Predictions of spring styles from the Southern fashions are most unsafe, the latter being so far largely Influenced by the winter fashions. However, ihtse two types, the drooping picture hat ted the Russian turban, seen to be the coming favorites. The Flench are strongly advoc: ting the old o nventional sailor, and perhaps we shall adopt It with enthusiasm. However, !t is a trying style, too severe and unfeminine for most womem. Perhaps it will be confined to the Cappers, whose pink cheeks and still perfect contours can stand it, and to that type of sinadt woman who looks her best In th# tailormade frock.

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given Daily in Times. fThe Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Drffly Times bow the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget thaf Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them dally In an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] FRIDAY. The luncheon at Mrs. Chapin’s was the big event for today. When Mrs. Hooper, as the guest of honor, arrived at the Chapin's before any of the other guests she found that her neighbor bad made a very elaborate affair of the entertainment. Mrs. Chapin as the wife of one of the biggest salaried' men In the community was very given to splurging whenever she undertook to do anything. A maid with a white apron and cap opened the front door and another helped Mrs. Hooper to take off her things in the beruSled bedroom upstairs, and as she had come by tbe dining-room on the first floor she had caught a glimpse of a third putting cards at each place. For Mayfield this would be considered some style. Mrs. Hooper looked about the cluttered - up room. Everything in the place seemed to be tied with a huge pink bow and there was scarcely room on the broad top of the dresser to put down a pin so filled was It with silver toilet articles, trays and framed photographs. Mrs. Hooper, In her methodical way wondered how Mrs. Chapin expected to manage a housework schedule such as they had planned at the club and allow time for dnsting all these unnecessary gewgaws. Spindle legged gilt.chairs stoid stiffly around the room each with a piik satin bow perked up on the back and a rose colored rug very much In need of a visit to the cleaners covered the middle of the floor under a polished brass bed. A stiffly starched white counterpane and shams dressed the bed. Mrs. Hooper had never realized before bow restful her own bedroom at home was with Its old mahogany ! bedstead and dresser and big morris I chßir and rag rug as Its principal fur--1 nishings. | “Oh, I’m so glad you came a little j early,” said Mrs. Chapin rushing Into the : room and greeting her cordially. “I was j Just finishing dressing. Did you find the : powder and everything?" “I don’t use much face powder," said Mrs. Hooper apologetically. “Oh Just a little keeps your nose from shining,” said Mrs. Chapin as she gave her own face a generous dabbing before the mirror. Mrs. Chapin wore a loose flowing gown ■A pale lavender silk with angel sleeves i and much white cascading from the neck, and Mrs. Hooper felt positively mid Victorian in her quiet black and white afternoon dress as'she followed the gorgeous tea gown out of the room. "You’re never seen my house have ,/flou?” inquired Mrs. Chapin as she sailed down the stairs. “You’ve not beeu much of a hand to call on your neighbors, Mrs. Hooper. We didn't realize how : little you’d been to see any of us until ; you are going away. We were talking about that very thing at the club the other day. “Well I’ve had so little time for Just calling," apolgized Mrs. Hooper, “and unless someone was 111 in the neighborhood I always seemed putting off go- | lng to see even the women who lived very near me.” “And Mayfield Is such a healthful place that those of us who depended on seeing you only for sick calls saw very little of you at all.” “Well when we all saw each other one# a week at the club, and came together In that friendly fashion It seemed to take tb# place of much calling,” answered Mrs. Hooper. “Yes I know,” replied Mrs. Chapin a# she led the way into a crowded living- ■ room that looked for all the world like a show room in a furniture sure, “but ; I like the old-fashioned way of having j a "day at home” when all your neighbors, are expected to come In.” | “But I did that every day,” Mra. Hooper reminded her. "I was always at home to my friends at four o’clock every afternoon and we had tea on the porch in summer and in the living-room In winter, and it was really a very enjoyable way to see people.” “Oh but that Is such an every day family affair I should think,” said Mrs. Chapin moving a huge palm a little nearer the window, ’it woaildn’t seem like t ever having company to me.” “That is the way It appeared to most people In Mayfield I suppose,” answered Mrs. Hooper, "and It was why I had the reputation of doing no entertaining whatever in the town, but I always maintained that those who C3me found a spirit of sociability.” “Oh I'm sure of it,” added Mrs. Chapin hastily fearing she had offended Mrs. Hooper with her criticism, “and now that you are leaving every one Is regretting that they didn't run In oftener and have tea with yoti.” Mrs. Hooper laughed good naturedly as Mrs. Chapin hurried to the door to greet some of her guests who were arriving. -The menus for the three meals on Saturday are: BREAKFAST Cereal Muffins Boiled Eggs Coflee LUNCHEON Baked Beans Preserved Fruit Cookies Cocoa DINNER Bean Soup, Broiled Liver and Bacon Brown Gravy and Mashed Potatoes Creamed Carrots Baked Apples

BAKED FISH. After the fish has been careful! cleaned, drawn, eyes removed, fins and tall shaped, put In the stuffing, sew up opening with a trussing or large needle; then cut three gashes on either side of the fish and lay some pieces of salt pork In each cut, and fasten it with a wooden tooth pick to hold it in {dace. Ton can shape it in the form of a letter S, If you like, with a long trussing needle and a piece of whib cotton cord-drawn tightly, or prop on the sides with potatoes and leave In the natural shape. y Dredge the fish with salt and pepper and lay slices of salt pork in the pgn and over the top of the fish. The pork gives a nice flavor and does the basting at the same time; if the fire is kept low enough, the pan will not burn. This can be done nicely with the present-day gas stove. Allow fifteen minutes to the pound, and during the cooking baste with the pork fat as It cooks out. The fish Is more easily removed If a fish sheet is used at the bottom of the pan. v Haddock, white lake fish, Shad end bluefish are good for baking. Garnish with lemon, parsley or lettuce, and serve with Hollandaise sauce, tomato or a brown sauce. .
