IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Women Raise I Little Fuss in Evolution hore of Feminine Candidates I Enter Hoosier Political I Arena. 5 BY JCXIA C. HENDERSON". ■Vcman's entrance into the political and lamercial life of this country has be<-n lomplished with a minimum of hubbub. Ith the exception of a few militant Iracters the movement for civil and litical rights for women in the United I tes has been carried on quietly and E now practically been accomplished Kh little, if any more fuss, than aecornties any evolution in the country's Irernment. Ifhe nineteenth amendment to the ConItution—that which enfranchised womI—is now accepted generally with only Inor grumblings from the sex that once Id sole possession of the ballot. This lin sharp contrast to the eighteenth lendment which is constantly being atIked, violated and considered lightly | many who pose as leading citizens. Iflie advent of women mto politics was Ida somewhat easier by their previous ■ration into the business world. Long |fore they gained the ballot women had |gun to assume duties other th an those ra strictly domestic nature and by capap performance of these duties had taken |ich of the punch out of the stock fcnment that “woman's place is iu the ■me.” li significant feature 1s the quiescent fcnner in which women have been taken Ito political activities. In this State larly a score of women have announced lemselves as candidates fur county ofles without creating a ripple of exciternt. No attempts have been made, apIrehtly, by women who are particularly Iterated in the subject to compile exit figures as to the /number of women pear now office-holders or the num|r seeking political preferment ■Attempts have been made In other lates to compile statistics on the numlr of women elected or appointed to liblic office. For the most part these Itempts have shown that, as in Indiana, le entrance of women iuto public life Its been accepted In a matter-of-fact lay and has not aroused sufficient inIrest to call forth the efforts of the latistieians. lOf the few States from which reports pve been received. Connecticut is In the lad In recognizing women in a political ay. Including various minor offices bch as town clerks and selectmen 13.S pnnecticut women have been elected to [flee, the reports show. [lndiana women now holding municipal [flees, school board memberships and [lnor political appointments probably fill total at least 140, so the Hoosier [ate is not far behind Connecticut.

Doris Stevens, Known In Indiana, Keeps Maiden Name After Marriage

Elsie Hill, Coworker, Marries, but Does Not Take Hubby’s Name. Doris Stevens Malone, the wife of Dudley Field Malone, now before the public because she writes to her mother from Paris while on her wedding trip, that she desires to be addressed neither “Mrs.” nor “Miss” but simply as “Doris Stevens,” is well known to many Indiana women. Miss Stevens visited Indianapolis as one of the speakers in the Mississippi Valley suffrage conference which met here in 1913. She was one of the most brilliant suffrage workers in the country, a fine speaker and a cultured, refined woman. She was graduated at Oberlin College in Ohio and did her first suffrage work in that State. She represented the Congressional Union for Suffrage in the Mississippi Valley conference and was later an active worker in the Woman's party, the outgrowth of the Congressional Union. She was entertained by many friends while she was in this city. Elsie Hill Leavitt, friend and coworker of Miss Stevens, was perhaps better known to Indianapolis women than was Miss Stevens. She came ot Indianapolis at the time a faction of the Woman's Franchise League withdrew and formed the Congressional Union, which body was known as the militant suffragists. Miss Hill spent several weeks in Indianapolis perfecting the organizations and was entertained while here by many friends. She is a Vassar graduate and received much attention from the alumnae. Miss Hill was one of the first street speakers for suffrage ’in Indianapolis, holding noon and evening street meetings at the corner of Illinois and Market streets. At that time she had a wealth of golden hair which she now wears bobbed. She was married recently to Prof, Albert Leavitt of the University of North Dakota who, with his wife, holds the view that it Is not necessary for a woman to give up her name when she marries. They hare. Miss Hill says, “agreed to look on life In its most practical way and not sacrifice the least of the things that oth rs grant a higher rating.” She chooses, therefor, to remain “F.lsie Hill” rather than wipe out her personality because she has married. Doris Stevens and Elsie Hill, no doubt, are endeavoring to carry out the custom established by early suffragists, LucyStone and Henry Blackwell. The talented Mr. Blackwell encourage! bis equally talented wife to retain his maiden name,

DORIS STEVENS

Says Mothers Are to Blame for Flappers O kl a h i >m a Con y ress icoman Comes to Rescue of Modern Girl. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Representative Alice Robertson, Ok! ihotua, only woman In Congress, rose today In vigorous defense of the “flapper,” Miss Robertson admitted the 1922 girl, with her knee skirt, low-necked dress, rouge and “debutunto slouch” Is opeu to criticism, but said; “You can Mattie mother.” “As th mothers flap, bo flap tho youngsters,” Miss Robertson said. “The modern mother Is responsible. She sets tiie pare and h-r daughter fol lows. While mother Is flapping around at an afternoon t<-s or a' a reception or bridge game, dangler goos out flapping In an auto. It's only natural. “Lot the mothers s'ay at home. Then they would find their daughters would come flapping home, flap Into tut apron and ■‘■pend tln ir out-of school hours In a thoroughly whole-.me way. But you can'r expect young girls to stay at home and knit when her mother Is out playing cards. “The wonder Is the modern ttlrl Is no worse- than elm Is. Tbere’a no <ln ;k on her: she docs ns she pleases.” Miss Hubertsoij commends the presentday girls on their frankness. “There's a gr-nt tlliT'-rcnce.” she said. “b*-l ween Innocence and assumed prudery and the American girls, although they arc getting amazingly frank, are not prudes.” A CURRY OK SALMON.

MYRA’S FINGERS By A . R . FARL EI G H

NOTE—As this narrative nears Its close Dr. Abner Campion, charged w,lth perpetrating an insurance swindle, finds the net being closely drawn about Mm. Millicent Campion dies in a delirium. Myra’s mother communicates with Miilicent’s departed spirit and by this means obtains sufficient information to prove that Arthur Campion is guilty of an atrocious crime. Arthur Itroivnson comes to aid in solving the mysteries in tho case. Tiie description of the scene In Millicent’s deat h room is most sensational. Follow the story to the end. CHAPTER Xlll—Continued. “Wot're you glvin’ me? I tell you Ben ain't dead. Abner knows where he Is and he won’t tell me.” She cried softly, theu pleaded with Myra. “You're good, kbl; get Ben for me, wont you? He ain't dead. That was all a con. I'm all In. I want to sco Belt before I go.” She whimpered and moaned till she was exhausted on! f.-ll asleep calling for Ben. Myra's duty lay plain before Imr. She had no need to think. Ilt-r pride? It must tie sacrificed. She called up the Foresight office. She heard Ids voice. “This Is Mr. Brownson.” ”1 need a friend.” “Oh, Myra!” Ills Joy brought her very near to tears. ••Can you come up now —qubkly?” “Immediately. I am so happy.” The world was all changed. Doubt and distress, Miillcent's Buffering, perhaps her near d'.ath, the battle with Abner, the loss of her SIO,OOO. f-r sh" knew she had thrown that away, aiP trouble dropped away from her. She wondered how she should receive him. When he canto towards her with outstretched hand she gave him “Myra's fingers'' and at once they were friendon the old footing. Phe told him every detail of the story and gave him the two rose colored pills, adding, T think they should be nan- - ill g are suspicions.” Arthur summoned Mr Broughton. The pills he sent to the Empire Analytical Laboratory w'.lh a demand for an crly report. The Instirarire company's physldr: was puzzjed by Mlllb-ent's condition. “You had better send for her relv tlvca, he said “I will call in two colleagues Considering everything, her early life In Chinatown, the s'ako they played for. her connection with this qua k Campion, It raises suspicions that call for consultation. I will returti this ; afternoon.” “I will come back w!*h him," whispered Arthur. “1 will bring a notary. We will take Mrs, Campion's confession ! In legal form.” Myra sat by Miillcent's bed. Tho worn | offspring of the slums looked up with start led eyes. “Tho strange doctor says I’m s goner, eh ?” She cried gently a few moments then broke out with a wsii of despair; “1 don't want to die! Oh, Myrle, I don't want to die 1” Myra ha 1 heard that cry more than onro in tor experience but never hud her ears roused to what followed. “D n that Abner I lie’s done me In bo he can cheat Ben. I toid him ho was cheating that day you came, kid; that's what, we were rowing about,” yhe tossed back and forth. 'l'll heat him to It. Listen, Myrle. you t ike a pencil and I'll till you the wb. -c story. The girl pleaded with her to wait, but she would tell It then or not at atII. Myra humored li*-r, resolving to have ln-r sign it In Arthur's presence. “It was Abner's Jot* from the first,” she began. ‘1 didn't like It I thought it was risky, but he kept telling Ben howeasy it would bo to touch the insurance compaiiica f.<r tho $200,000 till Ben gave In. Then If. 11 for it too." Myra must have shown that she was shocked. “What difference did 1t make,” sail the child woman on tho bed as though In reproof of the girl's squeamishneis. •“J'he companies were rich. They wouldn’t miss it and we needed i tie money. The only question was could we get away with it'/” Slie had the real criminal mind. Life was to her a game "of wits. Moral sense r-ho had none. Devotion to her man was ail her religion. “When I klss'-d Ben that night at the shack with Scatters we whispered Good by. We knew we wouldn't see each other again fur a long time. It. was the way wo plannee It. I knew Abner was near and woii as we left ho would come in arid Brn and he would dress up a stiff In Ben's clothes, set lire to the shack ant' drive away. "We agreed only Abner was to know where Be i was hiding because they said if I knew I'd sure try to get to Ben because I loved him so and then I'd bn trailed and thnt’d give tho snap away. Why, Abner and I was never to speak even by ourselves except as if we really believed Ben" was dead. Abner said if anybody overheard us or spied they wouldn't get nothing on us. “Well, 1 pulled off my end alright, didn't I kid? 1 put. It over grand with that old stuff next morning in the ashes. Sa.v, you ought to see me doin’ that ween act- —some hot stuff." She tried to laugh, but wns too tired with her long talk. She could give only a feeble smile if triumph ot the recollection of her acting. “Sav, I bad them all going In the courtroom, too, didn’t I ? I knew they wero goin' to spring all that Chink stuff

on me. What did I eare. Ben knew all that and lots more besides —if he didn't care why should I ? "I was sorry for you, Myrie, because you believed it all. Gee. I was proud xvhen you kissed me. kid. and I could j have told you everything then but I'd , knew you'd give it away and then y a' ' j a' lost your piece of the dough. Every- i thing would 'a gone alright only I had 1 (o wait so long to see Ben. I told Abner ] T was tired of waitin' and he says to me, | “What’re you talking about? Ben’s dead. You know he is. yourself. You swore to It.” That pot my goat and I teld him to cut It out and if he didn’t let me go to I.en I'd split the whole game. So ho said T needed a bracer and brought me seine whisky and said It would be alright in n little while. So I promised I'd wait. Then T got sick and he gave me the medicine. We used to have a fight every day. That row you heard wasn't the first We had them right along. $n I got to drinkin’ hard again. I guess that’s about all.” "Dm awfully tired.” She d.s and her eyes. All her members sudd- nlv relaxed. Mrs. Fnrnbam started forward and looked at Myra question - In ply. The girl hastily bent ber head to Miillcent's brea-t. She had lost consciousness and lay Inert, seemingly life- \ h*ss. Her face went white and her lips ja dull, diseased purple. Later she • pencil 10-r eyelids, showing frightened, | staring eyes. “Oh. Myrle, I don’t want to die! I ’don't want to die!” The voir* was a tiny wall. It seemed to emne from a f r distance outside the -m. outside the house and the city itself “1 v,. nt Ben." she cried. “Tell Abner ; —he k: m ? gr f m * B m,” she raised her hands. Myra took In her arms the frail Mule body, harassed and battered from her birth. She forgot she was a nurse, forgot her dls-lpllne and training, kisseq tho hot chocks. Sh-> 1 "W the sigi ■ Midi- iint struggled till her face vas close to the girl's. Mrs 1 arn ha in had sunk to her knee*. ‘ Get us say a l!tEe prayer.” said Mvra. “What's tiie use. 1 know—l'm scared —but—whatever* —rvtning stand—fur— It I— wan.—Ben " So passed away Millicent, the childwoman of Chinatown, wltn her head on Myra's breast. I’ w-s 2 o'-'oek 1n the afternoon when Arthur arrived with the notary—too late. He Mn-ned himself for not having taken the declaration In tho morning. The coni' -'nn would be worthless In a court. I!, three pt y i la ns came for their con- [ sultatlon—too late. CHAPTER XIV. Mrs Farnham, Mvra and Arthur were left alone In tiie house of d'ath. “W< Id you like to see her?” whi" p.-red the girl. “She la beautiful—and it; norent.” They look-d down nt th<* slim form with t!ie child's hands clasped on the i qu’et breast. All tiie hardness, the •Gin-wili -s*t, the markings of ths awful life sh* had lid were gone from he* i face The past was all hidden away j under the closed eyelids. “She has her wish, now," said Mrs Farnham softly, with a mystic Intimation in her voice. “At last she is with Benjamin.” “No. mother. Millicent is wailing foj , him. N r heard her say that my father j Is still alive." They returned to the oth*r mom. Mrs F rnliitm had beet! troubled by Myra's words. Now she spoke. ‘ Benjamin is ilc il. Millicent believed w hut she r Id. 1 trust the revelation from the Beyond. Millicent and Benjamin are together In the other life.” She fed Into a reverie while Arthur and Myra locked at each other, surprised at her persistence. In a low voice ; the in -ther began again, ns though unconscious of their presence. “Why believe he is alive? Though ;ih re whs a corxi Iracy. and the plan was ! io substitute h body, Benjamin may have perished In tiie flames, else how could ids spirit ci.me to me In Chicago when 1 was not expecting such n visitor?” Tiie words seemed to come without her will. She sat upright and gazed Into .nothingness. She raise! her right hand ; slightly, request!: g peace. Home suborn, scion* force took lmr Into Its power. If- r eyes were set, lived upon scenes, visible only to tor mind. An ntmosphery . >f clairvoyance, a cloud of vision, dei seen (led and enveloped her. ; No longer mistr-'sg of herself, guided ■by the o cult force, sl.e arose, looked ■straight forward, went slowly, but not ' hesitatingly lido the Inner room to tho body of the child-woman. Myra wns frightened. Arthur took her arm Thi y followed on tip-toes to the door. Tho mother sat down by the bed, ; turned back tiie cover from the still I face. She moved It farther until the crossed hands were revealed. Then she ; put her own hands, lightly, reverently, on those of the corpse. The two watchers were awe-stricken. There were no tears In Myra’s eyes, yet -lie fdt n constriction nt her heart that cried for relief in weeping. “Should wo let her go on?” sho said In ’ lowest voice Every fibre of her being was taut with emotion. To Arthur, not a believer, not an unbeliever, an agnostic In all that j pertained to the mysteries of psychology, ihis m.mifestlntinn or an unseen control jof Mrs Fnrnhiim’s mind arid body, was j phenomenon demanding the closest study j He knew there wero a thousand Indicn- ; (tons of the unknown yet to bo explained i by our science and philosophy.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory After the cookies were eaten Jacky took up his fiddle and walked over to the little shop where Mr. Tinker wag busily at work mending old umbrellas and other things. He looked up from his work as Jacky entered. “What can I do for you, son?” asked Mr. Tinker in a squeaky voice. He was a funny little man. with a very big head, nis hands, too, were much too large for blrn. Bat that didn't seem to make any difference as far as his work went, for there wero at least a dozen umbrellas neatly rolled up and ma r ked with the owner's name, showing that he had mended them neatly and quickly. “My fiddle is out of order,” said Jacky. “The bridge is broken. Could you make anew bridge for me?" “Surely." answered Mr. Tinker, “and If you gave me time, I could make a London Bridge." At this Jucky opened his eyes very wide Indeed. “Gracious roe,” he 6ald. "Could you, really ?” But Mr. Tinker did not reply, ne was already looking ovr the fiddle. Then he got out a smooth piece of thin board and : commenced to shape !t carefully with a ; sharp knife. When he had shaped it to his liking he fittf-d It under the strings snd then tuned up the fiddle himself. Throwing I one leg over the other lie lifted the fiddle : up to his chin anil commenced to play. And tho music that cnrtie from the little old fiddle was very beautiful. So beautifui. Indeed, that the children stopped to listen, and Mrs. Tinker came to the doorway and folded her hands across her gingham apron and stood still. The kettie on the stove boiled over, hut she never heard It. And a customer came through the gate, but Mr. Tinker never saw him. And the customer forgot that he came after his old umbrella, and stood still to listen. Buss Junior had e'ten heard In h!s travels people play on the fiddle, but never had he heard one like little Mr. Tinker. The old fiddle seemed to cry and sob; then to laugh and sigh, and fhp little workshop might have be P n an opera house for all that any one cared. And by and by Mr. Tinker laid aside the bow and took up his work again. And the customer came forward and paid for his umbrella and took It away. Mrs. Tinker hurried Inside and lifted off the kettle, and Fuss Junior and his comrades said good-by to all the Tinker family. But when Jacky asked how much he owed for the new bridge. Mr. Tinker said he didn't owe anything. “You paid me hy letting me play." said Mr. Tinker In a low voles.-—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.) PREPARATION IS FOUND FOR BEANS Possibly twentleth-ccnttiry America doesn't even yet really know beans. Because of their rich content to protein and carbohydrate they have boon largely used hi tho diet of persons who n ust perform hard labor under conditions where the bill of fare is limited. This does not exclude them from tho table of polite society. Persons who find ths bean, although carefully cooked and served, still troublesome to the digestion will do well to remove the skins In the process of cooking. This Is easily done. After the beans havo been cooked In rapidly boiling water, to which a small amount of soda has been added, for about, thirty minutes, lift them Into cold water and rub them together until tho skins are removed. A large portion of the skins may be removed simply by stlring the beans vigorously at tills stage without removing them from the water. The skins rise to the surface and may be skimmed off. It Is important that beans should be cooked In soft water, as the salts in hard water prevent the protein from softening and make the bean somewhat Indigestible. For this reason a small amount of baking soda —one-half teaspoon to two quarts of water —Is added. Salt should, not bo added until the beans are neariv done.— From the February Delineator.

I The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given Daily in Times. [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limbed iicome, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working oa the budget that Mrs. Hooper bajj evolved and fojnd practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] TUESDAY. The newness of the experience of traveling on the train was beginning to wear off and the Hooper children were not as enthusiastic about their second night on board as they were about the first, and eating on the dining car had Its drawbacks in as much as they always seemed to be quite as hungry after they finished a meal as before, in spite of the large amount of money that their mother paid for it right before their eyes. Mrs. Hooper's head ached from the motion of the car, and sitting still for so many hours with nothing special to do worried her and made her nervous, so that she was even more anxious than she had been yesterday to see the end of the Journey. They were due In Indianapolis about 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and although there were tweui.v-four hours of travel before them, they had already begun to count the hours until they should puli into As station and find Mr. Hooper waiting to greet them. “I'll get off at the next station and mail those post cards for you, Helen.” said Roger as he watched his sister addressing them with difficulty as the train
