• IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS -

Home Making Now Science Much Studied Complexities of Living Make Running Household Difficult. ISy JULIA C. HENDERSON. Home making with its many complexities has become a problem in these days which is hard to combat and manyyoung men and women are fearful of entering into a combine, to forward it, lest the result be disastrous. Wise, however, is the young man or woman who is diligently seeking definite aid in this direction and is taking advantage of study carefully worked out for them. The high cost of living, plus the high cost of not saving, has aroused in many a desire to study the question of home economics. In fact, we have been driven to the point of making the most of our incomes and have realized the need of dividing it to make it meet the necessities of daily life as well as to provide for its satisfactions and pleasures. The highly important business of living in the past has been left to be solved by the individual in his own way, little help being given to one who cared to consider it seriously. It has only been in recent years that the subject has been deemed vital enough to dignify it as a business and plans made for its study and advancement. government

TAKES LEAD. Our Government is largely responsible for the awakening along this line and has endeavored to place its importance before every man, woman and child in America. •• Making the world safe for democracybrought with it the need of the promulgation of saving and persuaded many Americans who had been living on the theory of “saving what we don't spend’’ into an army now willing to make it “spending what we don't save,” thus making the saving habit the first in our dally living. The educators of today have realized wherein they haveffallen short in not bringing this subject of savings to the young and many States are falling into line to make it a part of their schools study. The home and the Nation responds and joins in a steady march toward wiser and better living conditions through a conscientious study of the subject. RECEIVING MUCH ATTENTION. No single subject is receiving more attention from the writers of today. Magazines and newspapers are giving their best to its advancement, and to the enlightenment of the public as to. how to earn, save and spend, that home may be more attractive. The number of bank accounts and savings deposits now held by women and children testify to the educational value of this widespread movement. Men and women of middle age today, whose education .along financial lines was limited and with no thought of practical application, are predicting great gain to America’s financial institutions and the consequent place our country will hold among the nations of the world, from a study of the business of living, and home, making.

Women Officials Make \ Changes at City Market

MRS. IRMA B VRPM. The women of Indianapolis have for many years been demanding that one of their sex be given authority at the market house to carry out certain reforms in municipal housekeeping. It Is to the credit of the present city administration that two competent women u a ve been named as assistants to Robcrt Sloan, market master. Mrs. Irma p.yrum and Mrs. Mary Moriarity are the in this work, having entered into active service with the advent of the new city administration. That they have justified their appointments is easily recognized as one passes through the aisjes of the market house and sees them free from baskets, boxes and barrels and also notices the effort being made to clean up conditions. It Is the hope of the two young assistant market masters that In a short time, with the co-operation of the market master and the public, the market house can be made all that women have desired. The women’s rest room has had an overhauling and it is planned to have further improvements made in it. Both women have been granted police powers and some very efficient detective work has been accomplished through thpir keen and quick-witted efforts Byrum and Mrs. Moriarity arc £oth well educated women and are bringing intelligence and adaptability Into their

SEVEN NEW CLUBS FORMED THROUGH ‘Y f COMMITTEE Working Girls Banded in Organizations—Learn SelfGovernment. The industrial committee of the Y. W. C. A., of which Mrs. Wilmer Christian Is president, and Miss Amy Keithley end Miss Gertrude Sykes are secretaries, has formed seven clubs from the working girls of several factories of the city. These seven clubs, together, form the single Federation of Industrial Clubs, with a total membership of between 500 ami 800 girls. The clubs are all self-governing, formed with the idea of service as well as development. The responsibility of govrnlng their own cluhs, and also that jf forming and organizing new clubs, gives to the members, especially tho officers, splend'd chances to exercise and develop the quality of leadership and self-reliance. Before becoming a member of the federation, each club must do a piece of service work, such as selling tuberculosis Christmas Seals, Day Nursery work, charity cases, etc. Entertainments for various factories are given by the club girls. The girls are taken from all ainds of homes, from Jobs with no back ground of Interests, and are developed Into broader social beings and more efficient workers. The year 1921 was most encouraging for tho industrial work. The Industrial commitee needs the hearty co-operation of employer and factory managers In this work. Employres should understand that 'c Is not merely welfare work, but rather personnel work, making for efficiency of workers, anu as such should be encouraged. Volunteers are urgently needed, women who are willing to take the “Y” course of training to learn Industrial history and conditions, and economics, who must really become business women before they are able to give their best. The number of girls organized under the federation is only a small percentage of the city’s working girls. It will be difficult to make the necessary expansion during the year 1922, especially on account of the shortage in the Community Chest, without the full and active support of the citizens of Indianapolis. “The Young Women's Christian Association,” says Mrs. WUmer Christian, president of the industrial committee, "holds perhaps the most strategic position In the whole field of organization for women. The hardest work in the world is the process of growing up, and one of the biggest opportunities of the association is such an understanding of youth that even when its vagaries guidance it may be understood. Our newyear Is starting now with new classes in many subjects, and we invite all young women to see for themselves the true meaning of our ‘Triangle.’ ”

GRIFFITH 8.4 YS MRS. HARDING IS REAL CHARMER Famous Movie Director Puts President’s Wife in List of Three. NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—1f you were asked to choose between tho three most beautiful women In the world, whom would you select? If D. W. Griffith, famous movie director, were to choose, wouldn't you begin to run over the names of vour favorite movie actress? However, you would be wrong. In making his selections before the Art Directors' Club, Mr. Griffith said: “The three most beautiful faces I have seen are faces of mature women. “One is Alexandra, the Dowager Queen of England, with that serene dignity and gracious sympathy and kindliness that come from generations of aristocratic environment. "The second is a scrubwoman In a Pittsburgh theater—a round, beautiful face, kindly and shrewd and understanding dignity of labor. “The third Is Mrs. Harding, a plain Ohio woman, now’ the first indy of the land. She has the nobility of the Queen whom she resembles, and she has that sturdy humanity of the charwoman—a union I think could only exist in America. “If I could show these three faces on the screen as they actually are, then th< public would well declare motion pictures an art.” In the light of Mr. Griffith’s selections it Is interesting to note Mr*. Herbert Asquith, wife of the former British Premier, In her autobiography named the Dowager Queen of England as her conception of the most beautiful woman. Baby’s Milk Should Be Kept Near Ice The bottles of milk should be placed in the ice-box, not in the part where the food is kept, but in direct contact with tho ice. The necessity of keeping tho baby’s milk in direct contact with the ice during the warm months can not be too much emphasized. Milk always contains some bacteria, and If allowed to become warm and so remain for several hours, these bacteria multiply enormously. It is bacteria that causes milk to sour so quickly. It Is the poisons from the bacteria In the milk that produce so much bowel trouble in infunts during the summer.—Mary E. Bayley, It. N., in the February Delineator. ST. CATHERINE'S DAY. St. Catherine's Day Is when all French girls who have attained the age ol twenty-five without finding a husband put on the bonnet of spinsterhood.

FRANCES STARR RESTS IN RURAL SUMMER HOME Place on Lake George Provides Splendid Vacation Retreat. Five miles down Lake George, directly skirting the edjre of the lake, on a point that extends some distance into tho sky blue of that glorious body of water, and not far from the main highway which is the direct route for motorists going to Montreal; isolated from the gaze of curious eyes, shut off by tho majestic threes of a dense w’oodland, in a wonderful country whore all is quiet and peaceful—an ideal spot for a complete rest and solitude- Is located the summer home of Frances Starr, who comes to the English Opera House for three nights utid a Saturday matinee beginning Thursday eve. ning, Feb. 2. On this beautiful point in a farm house of conventional Colonial design, simplicity Itself reigns. Simplicity seems in the air. It is in the house, is everywhere about, indicative of the sincere life, the outdoor life, the better life that brings contentment and happiness because It is nature's neighbor. And it is no wpnder then that this beautiful spot in the State of New York won the heart of Miss Btnrr. as 1* would that of anybody who sought ' tion that such surroundings would afford. RESTS FROM SEASONS’ TOURS. Here for three months of every year, after an arduous tour or a full season of acting in New York, does Miss Starr give way to the full enjoyment of the place, never worrying for the future, living in the present, the whole taking full measure of being close to nature which she loves. Canoeing. fishing, swimming, riding and motoring : re pastimes which Miss Starr thoroughly enjoys there, and golf, too, for there is a fine course within two miles of the house. So her days from after breakfast until late afternoon are occupied with leading the simple and out-of-door life, the life which is close to nature. This Colonial farm house is of two stories and much longer than It Is wide, with a roomy veranda on throe sides, each side of the veranda command ing an unobstructed view of the lake The living-room is the full length of the house with long glass windows extending to the floor, making wide openings that may be used instead of the doorways for reaching the surrounding veranda, and even when closed they permit ©f a clear view of the lake. FIRE-PLACE MADE OF STONES. A wide built-in fire-place, made of stones gathered from the surrounding ground. Is on tho opposite side of the living-room from the front of the house, with old-fashioned andirons for supporting big pine logs, which throw a warm glow over the entire room as they burn on a chilly evening. In front of the fireplace is a long davenport. Back of the living room, on one corner of the rear of the house. Is the library, with shelves of the latest books and standard works of fiction. Adjoining the library are the butler's pantry and the kitchen. On tho floor above are eight bedrooms, four in the front of the t, o „ s „ with a view of the lake, tho other four looking out on the woods in (lie rear Hue might ask where Is the dining room, or docs MBs Starr combine the frolic room ns a living room and dining room. She does not. The dining room, if it may be so called, is right over the water In a Pergola, a short dlstnuoe from the house. It is reached by a covered walk connecting with tho veranda. In this wide open spot Miss Starr break fasts, lunches and dines. There Is n gravel watg from the Pergola leading directly to the kitchen. SIMPLICITY CARRIED OUT ON FURNISHINGS. Iho simplicity of the place is carried out in the furnishings of tho house. No cumbersome furniture. Oriental rugs heavy draperies or hangings, oil paintings or brie a brae encumber the diving room or the other n.oms t . mar their simplicity for beauty. Instead, large green woven rag rugs cover the fl .ar'sthe furniture Is all of natural wicker’ the chairs comfortably cushioned to match the bangings which are of cretonne. No pictures at all are on tho walls of any part of the house. The bed rooms are furnished as shnply as the living room, but completely, the beds being of white enamel and chintz curtains hang from the windows, while the lied room chairs ore of wicker. It is in this entirely different environment from the theatre, away from the notse and turmoil of the big city, that Miss Starr conditions herself for tho hard work of anew season of acting, by living close to nature and enjoying it fully. Miss Starr has also a town house in New York, which lu luxuriously appointed, where she resides for nine months of the year when she is appearing in anew play in New York. PUSS IN BOOTS JR Hr David Corjr ——- "Bow-wow-wow 1 Whose dog art hon? Little Tom Tinker’s dog. Bow-wow- wow 1" It was a very big bark for so small a dog, and Puss Junior and his companions laughed heartily when they saw the animal. It was a shaggy little dog, with a great big collar. Its tail was short, but, oli, dear me! the bark was at the other end was so long and 1 and! “Bow-wow 1” “Whoso dog art thou?” cried Pass

LEADING LADY DESIGNS BOOTS Louise Closser Hale Does Something Besides Act. \ . ..... - . - ;.. - - , . - ■■ Not only is Louise Closser Hale, who takes the role of Grandma Bett in “Miss Lulu Bett.” at the Murat this week, an actress and author, but she is a boot designer! It Is neither a galosh or an overshoe, but a "Grandma Bett boot.” Mrs. Hale, who Is a former Indianapolis woman, says in a letter to Mrs. Waiter Pfaff of this city, that “Grandma Bett" really Invented the foot gear, that whye she sat rocking for hours at a time, she had time to think and the boot Is on*- of her happiest thoughts. Mrs. Hale describes them as follows: "They are of the softest kid with a lower buckle which does not unfasten and one other buckled strap. There Is rubber on the heels, of course. It’s really like a soft, comfortable shoe with the tongue made wider and stitched on the sides. Now that I have these 1 don't think I'll be the lust one out of the theater, even if 1 do have on more grease paint than anybody else." Tonight will be in the nature of a homecoming party for Mrs. Hale ns tho Christamore Aid Association Is sponsoring the opening performance and have planned a number of innovations. Junior. The barking stopped for a moment and the little dog replied: “Little Tom Tinker's dog. Bow-wow-wow 1” “Where Is Little Tom Tinker?” asked Tom Thumb, looking down from his seat on Puss Junior's shotffder. “You mean my master?*' said the little dog. “How many Tinkers are there?” asked Tom Thumb with a grin. “Half dozen at least,” said the litte dog. “There's Mrs. Tinker and the little Tinkers.” “Let's see them all,” said Jacky. “If Mr. Tinker Is a good tinkerer, maybe he can fix my fiddle. Something's wrong with it. for it doesn't fiddle the way it used to fiddle.” "Well, come right in," said th little dog, opening the front gate; "now that we are friends I won't bark any more,” So in walked Puss Junior with Tom Thumb perched on hi* shoulder, followed by Jaeky and the Blackbird. Tom Tinker was busily at work in hla small shop at the rear of the house. In the kitchen doorway stood four lit tie Tinkers, and In the background could b seen the large motherly form of Mrs. Tinker. Bhe was Just taking out of tho oven a pan of smoking hot cookies. “Don't they smell good?" whispered Tom Thumb "Don't they, though?" cried .Tacky. "Mother used to make dandy ones for me. But I have no mother any more,” and lie stroked the Blackbird softly while a tear fell from his eye. Mrs. Tinker must have beard him, for she came out with the pan of cookie*. “Children, ask your visitors to have a cookie with us,” and then all the little Tinkers cried out at once; “Mother invites you to a cookie feast I” And after that they all sat down on the'floor of the little back porch, and in a few minutes everybody had his mouth full of hot cookie, even the little dog, who stopped barking long enough to eat tip two before he commenced to “bow-wow" again.—Copyright, 1922.

MYRA’S FINGERS By A . R . FARL EI G H

Tills wonderful human interest story now nears the close. The final Installment will reveal scenes that are different from any you have ever encountered either in fact or fiction. Strange powers of clairvoyance will be demonstrated as never before by any fictionist or writer on scientific subjects. The weird mystery of Ben Campion’s fate is cleared up beyond any doubt, through a message from the dead. Be sure to read the closing installment. CHAPTER Xll—Continued. “In that case, my dear,” he was blandness itself, "I fear 1 must exercise my rights as the physician and select her nurse myself. I have no doubt of youi ability, you would -be superior to any 1 could appoint—but I can not allow it —for your own sake. Now v I will take a look at the patient.” There was a finality about Mb words that left no answer and when he entered Millicent’s bedroom ho closed the door behind him. He stayed there five or six minutes. “I shall send the new nurse In the morning.” Ho bade her a formal gooil-by and was gone. Myra went in to the patient. She remembered her mother's suspicions. Mlllicent was in a doze. 'Lite gi'l tasted a few drops of the colorless mixture left by tho doctor, who, like the homeopathists, supplied his own remedies. It had a greasy, bitter taste. Softly she pushed back each of the patient's eyelids. The pupil contracted. Myra felt herself tremble. “Chloral!” The easiest habit forming of the drugs. This was Abner’s “mild sedative.” He was serving his sister-i.i-law chloral and whisky. Why ? In the morning Miliieent was so weak she could hardly dress. She was despondent and nervous. “Say, kid, I feel al! In. Abner says he's goln' to get me another nurse. You ain't goin’ to quit me ure you?” She began to cry. “I wish you would stay by me. Myrie.” ”1 will. Do you take any other medicine besides tt:is?” She leld up the chloral mixture. “Only what Abner gives me when he's here." "Whet's that?" “A couple of sugar conted pills. He makes me swallow them." Myra bent over her, took her hand. “You trust roe, Mlllicent?" “Sure! Better than anybody In the world." There was no doubt of the deep affection In those eyes. “You know I'm a curse and have had a good deal of experience. I would like to see those pills ” Mlllicent laughed. “FU hold out on the guy. I'll keep them under my tongue." She laughed again. The thought ot playing a trick on Abner dellglited her. Myra gave her no more of the chloral. Asa consequence, when the doctor called, the patio it was still irritable and restless Dr. Campion was surprised “I will change her medicine.” lie looked sharply at Myra. Sitting by Milllcent's side he gave Myra a small pottle. “Please take it to the kitchen. Wash it carefully In boiling w"*er." She understood. As on the day before he was sending her out of the room that he might give the woman that other “medicine” with no one present. When she returned he filled the bottle from his case. “In place of the other prescription,” ha said and left it by Milllcent's bed. They went out to the parlor. “I note that you are In your nurse’s costume,” lie said, "but I cannot permit you to make the uaerifiee. My own nursm will not bo free till tomorrow. In any event, our little s!s*-r Is growing wenkei and will need the attention of two nurses. Miss Lainpson will arrive In th morning ” He paused and looked at her before he finished so that she would understand his full meaning. “ as nurse In charge by tho physician's order.” She bowed her head and accompanied him to the door. Or * of tho Insurance sleuths took up his t.all at the turn of the road. Myra sat down and studied her problem. For some reason he was drugging Mlllicent with chloral and supplying her with whisky. She wondered what was tho new "medicine.’’ "Oh, Myra 1” Milllcent's voice. “1 fooled him!” ’ The patient reached under her pillow and gave Myra two rose-colored pills each the size of a nean. “He never tumbled,” she laughed feebly. "Gee, but I’m all in.” She tottered to the outer room and curled up in the chair. A sudden wave of suspicious apprehension swept over her. “Say kid,” she whispered, “what’s up? Have you got on to some game of that guy ? I've always been afraid of him.” She clutched weakly at Myra's haud and cried, broken down and dispirited. “Oh, I wish Ben was here!” She caught herself up and said. “Os course he can’t come, he's dead but I wish he was here. You won’t quit me, kid. will you? I’m scared." Myra watched till she fell asleep. As the afternoon wore on, she struggled with the problem of what to do on the morrow when Miss Lampson would arrive—Abner’s “nurse in charge.” She knew she would not desert her father’s widow, but she could see that the doctor’s plan was to drive her quietly into leaving.

“I am going Into the village, for alcohol,” she said when Mlllicent awoke. “Then I will give you a nice sponge bath and put you to bed. Lie quietly. I won’t be long.” “I wish you wouldn’t go, Myrie. You got me scared of t hat Abner.” She walked briskly'; hoped to be back in fifteen minutes, but It was half an hour before she returned to the bungalow. Two or three women and some children were standing on the road by the water, looking curiously at the house. A dread of evil seized her as she hurried within. Mlllicent was not curled up In the arm chair. She was not on her bed. She was not In the house. Myra ran to the door and looked out The women had drawn near. They seemed to understand the situation. “A strange lady took the little lady away In an automobile." Myra understood. “Abner has tricked me. Mist Lampson had spirited Miliieent away to some secret retreat.” CHAPTER XIII. Myra sat down to plan her next move. Should she go to Abner and demand access to Miliieent? On what grounds) The window was not her relative, not a minor needing a guardian. Mechanically she packed her bag. Her mind kept pounding at the question— Why? Why? Whv? Why this determination to throw Mlllicent back into the sewer of Chinatown? She closed the bungalow and went home. Her mother met her at the door, put her finger to her lips and led the girl Into her own room. On the bed, exhausted, but smiling, lay Mlllicent. The strange woman of the Mamaroneek abduction was Myra's own mother. After twenty years Mrs. Farnham was taking her revenge on Abner Campion' "This child shall not go the way of Ben," she declared. Mlllicent, however, was far on her way to some other destination. Though she smiled she was almost too feeble to move. She fell Into a troubled sleep which lasted through the night. In the morning Abner arrived with Miss Lampson, a typical alienist nurse, not one kindly line In her face. Before she let him in, Myra sent her mother Into tho room with Miliieent and locked the door. She faced the doctor and nurse. "I thought It better to bring her hero,” she explained. "Mother can help me to attend her.” Dr. Campion was his smooth self. "Perhaps It may be as well. I will take a look at my patient.” "You cannot see her.” “I must Insist, my dear, on seeing my patient.” "Mrs. Campion desires to stay with mother. She instructs me to say that she no longer wishes your services.” Abner nodded to Miss Lampson. She looked towards the door of the Inner room “That door Is locked, said Myra calmly. "I' you attempt the slightest force I will rouse the house and call in the police.” Miss Lampson paused, looked to the doctor for an order. "My dear child," he said. “I cannot understand this sudden change of front. Why do you. a nurse, interfere between a physician and his patient ?” "Shi* is no longer your patient.” A dangerous glitter came into his eyes, but he was never the man for quick action. Temporize, was his guiding principle In life. “Then 1 must resign tho office of physician." he said with a benevolent smile, “and speak to her as a friend.” “You cannot see her in any rapacity," “Ahe you aware, Miss Campion," he cried In a sudden burs’, of anger, as he saw all his schemes shattered by the girl, “are you aware that you are harboring a lunatic; that Mrs. Campion .under the stress of her grief, is the victim of delusions; that you are keeping her from treatment In a sanitarium?” “She Is as saro- as you are.” "Are you aware that she may break out in violence?" "We will risk that. Please go.” “And that It is a case for public authorities ?” "I am prepared to defend my actions In court?” "Huh!” he sneered. *1 see. You have Joined the insurance combination. You have been promised your SIO,OOO and have turned against your father's friends. That spy, Brownson, has got you again and—” "Enough. You Insult me. Go.” She opened the door and stepped Into the hall. "Another word and I shall call In tho police to eject an intruder!” He beckoned to Miss Lampson. Myra watched from the window till she saw them leave in a limousine. Miliieent had heard everything. She was delirious with excitement as Myra entered her bedroom. Her long copper braids had become unbound. Her hair fell about her, tossed on her breast like an incarnadined surf. “Send for Ben,” she moaned. “Send for Ben.” This was what the doctor called "Insanity.” “We can't send for Ben, poor dear,” said tho mother, smoothing the hair from her eyes. “Ye u know Benjamin has passed on.” “Past? I’ast what?” “Passed on, dear. Ben is dead.” “Dead nothing! lie ain't dead.” Mother and ’daughter looked at each other. To Myra the words did not seem Insane. (To Be Continued.)

Going to bed on the train Lad been an adventure in itself and Helen had slept llttlte after she had crept into the berth with her mother and Betty. It had been a trifle crowded, but Mrs. Hooper had managed without any great discomfort by tucking Betty into the foot of the berth, while Helen curled up next to the window and she herself slept on the outside. She did not feel any too certain, however, that a sudden whirl of the train around a curve might not spill her out through the curtains into the aisle, and Helen was wide awake for hours. Roger had the upper berth all to himself, and he felt as if his wonderful excursion into anew life had actually begun, when he climbed up the small ladder, held In place for him by the negro porter, and crawled Into the little enclosure up under the roof of the train where he was to spend the first night of his travels. The small dressing-room WE3 crowded when Mrs. Hooper entered it to dress, after having left Helen and Betty to put (heir clothes on in the berth. The women combing their hair and brushing their teeth greeted her cordially as they made room for her soap dish and traveling case on the window sill, but Mrs. Hooper felt horribly homesick and wished with all her heart that the journey was at an end instead of just beginning. It seined before they were already for breakfast, P.etty having created much excitement by losing her small shoe some where in her bed and the porter and to be summonded anS the berth made up before It was found. And now seated at the carefully laid table with a white coated colored waiter standing over her to take her order. Mrs. Hooper felt as if she had been suddenly transported to a foreign ianu instead of being only about three hundred miles from home. She had done very little traveling in her life and had never been on a train over nigh? any more than the children had. But she was showing neither pleasure nor excitement in tho adventure. She could only wish it to be over as quijkly as possible. They were all very hungry, but when Mrs. Hooper saw the price ma.-ked against each article on the menu, bet horror and astonishment took away her appetite. But not so with Roger and Helen and Betty. They clamored for the same amount of food to which they were accustomed at their own substantial breakfast table. They didn’t want anything unusual or fancy, but when they had been provided with cereal, orange juice, eggs and muffins and Mrs. Hooper had coffee and toast the bill together with the tip which went to the waiter was three dollars and ten cents. Although ths, children wer*x keen for another excursion into the dinnig room when the porter carne through calling "luncheon is served” Mrs. Hooper insisted that they have a modest repast out of the lunch box she had brought from home. Dinner in the dinning car in the evening for the four of them with food 'bat didn't begin to comj>are with her home table In quality cost her four dollars and twenty-five cents!
