IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Woman’s Day Now Dawning On Big World Weaker Sex at Last Reaches Rightful Place in Human Endeavor. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. That this is woman's day no one can deny. She Is entering almost every line of human endeavor and is making good. She is coming into responsibility at a time when her services are most needed and she is right ready to give loyal, consecrated service. Lucia Ames Mead, nationally known suffragist, says: “The responsibility of the ballot has come to women just when the kind of contribution which they can make to the world is most needed. Women are not so gifted as men in ability to build bridges, ships and skyscrapers and to run railroads, but they are capable of evening up our terribly unbalanced life. The last century was dominated by Inventors and the study of mechanics and the enormous development of speed, wealth and force. Men were so intoxicated with their achievements that life cam* to have a false proportion.’’ Mrs. Ames has sized up the situation | well. To women have been given the i opportunity of supplying what has been lacking in human relationships; the things that men have overlooked in their ambition to bring to the world all the material things that their skill could supply. This alone should convince men that the viewpoint of women should be utilized and expressed in every day endeavor. It has been truly said: “As unto the bow the cord Is, so is man unto woman; useless each without the other. It seems almost past belief that in this day ftnd age of progress woman should still have to argue for her place in doing the world’s work. Her endeavors have ever been to make men see that she has , a place outside the home and an interest in world affairs. It would seem that all this might have been settled by the granting of the ballot, but there are a few men yet left with their fighting clothes on, ready to upset any plans that women may have made, or are considering for the furtherance of their sex. As one politician recently said: “The men have been on the inside looking out, but I predict that it will not be long until women will occupy that position with the men on the outside looking in.

URGES BETTER ENFORCEMENT OF DRY LAW Mrs. Felix T. McWhirter Deplores Laxity Before Council of Women. “If the people who are making a reat hue and cry over the lack of pergonal freedom in the United States, and who are so loud in their praises of France’s glory do not care to abide by the laws of this country, why do -b-v n>t get out of it?” asked Mrs. Felix McWhirter, at the meeting of the Council cf Women yesterday in the Board of Trade building, following the discussion Incheon in the dining room. “We have laws and the Volstead law is just as much a law as those w<> have had for a century, and open ridicule ami brazen breaking of the law should be stopped,” Mrs. McWhirter continued. She urged the women of the council to take up their cudgels against the local situation in regard to “flagrant uncontrolled violation” of the dry law. Mrs. McWhirter also extended to the women an invitation to join the Chamber of Commerce, saying that the men were anxlffus for the women interested in municipal affairs and betterment of Indianapolis to affiliate with the organization. COMMITTEE OX CITY HALL REFORTS. Following Mrs. McWhirter's talk the meeting was turned over to the city hall committee of which Mrs. Thomas W. Demmerly is chairman, who in her introductory remarks made the suggestion that a school of instruction for city officials would be an excellent thing for the city- , , .. Miss Alma Sickler reported from the city council committee. She said that she had spent a large portion of her time hunting the city charter to find out Just what the council should be, and after a search of several days she located It and found that it called for a council of twenty-one members. Miss •Sickler declared that an up-to-date 1922 model of the charter should be in the Jity files. WEIGHTS INSPECTOR ADDRESSES COUNCIL. Mrs. L. J. Riddle, woman inspector of weights and measures of the city, reported from the council weights and measures committee. She said that the women themselves were the real factors In putting an end to short weight orders: that no city department or board could hr.”e any great effect without the activo cooperation of the housewives. She suggests that the women weigh their groceries and keep a monthly record of such then at the end of the time if they And a steady shortage of weights, report it to the city department. “Xf all the women in the city would follow such a plan the short-weight trouble would soon be ended." she said, “but as it is, there are hundreds of complaints, but very few facts, it is up to the women to act, not merely talk. Mrs. Martin Reiffel, of the board of safety committee, asked the women to cooperate with the Original South Side Woman’s Club of which she is president in cleaning up the comfort station on Kentucky avenue, which the club investigated and found to be a harbor for women of unsavory reputation to smoke cigarettes, and drink liquor. Mrs. Walter Gelsel of the photoplay committee, Mrs. Wolf Sussman of the market committee and Mrs. 11. E. Von Grimmenstein of the park board committee and Mrs. Alta Delaney with a list of the mayor’s duties, read their reports. Preceding the program, luncheon was served, covers being laid for lit guests, Mrs. Allen T. Fleming, president of the council presiding.

Notes of Interest to Women

Chari Ortnand Williams Is the new president of the National Education Association. By successful operation of the schools of Shelby County, Tennessee, she has won nation-wide notice of her ability as an organizer. Miss Williams scored the highest average for the candidacy of the superintendent of schools that has ever been made in Tennessee. Her home Is in Memphis. ■ Boston University is the only coeducational university in Massachusetts. This year It has among Us students more men from New England than either Harvard or Vale, and more men than Dartmouth, Williams and Amherst put together. It has more women students than Wellesley, Smith, Radcliffe and Vassar, and more than any two of them combined. A Hr* Stone Blackwell, noted worker among women, comments on the above as follows: "Yet some persons still insist that coeducation makes a college or university unpopular.” Miss Nellie J. Roche is the new controller of Nashville, Tenn., the first woman in the city's history to hold this Important position. Miss Itoche was formerly a teacher, but recently has been successfully engaged in the insurance business. A Pan-American Conference of women has been called for April 20 to 29, to be held in connection with the third annual convention of the National League of Women Voters. The sessions are to be held In Hotel Belvidere, Baltimore, Md. The women of this country do from 85 to 90 per cent of the buying, and are demanding that textiles shall be truthfully labeled. The French-Capper bill in Congress provides that the customer may know for what he is paying. A newly discovered falls In Yellowstone Park has not been named, and the council of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs suggests that It be named for a woman. No name of a living person la permissible. Mrs. Thomas G. Winter suggests that the names of Anthony, Howe or Willard would be appropriate. The names are subject to the approval ofthe Geographic Board.

WOMEN LEADERS SPLIT ON FULL RIGHTS BILL Conflict Rages Between Adherents and Opponents of Amendment. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—The con'.iet between those who want the new Federal amendment proposed by the National Woman's party and those who do not, continues to rage. In publicly sending abroad twenty questions about the “equal rights” amendment, Mr3. Florence Kelley of the National Consumers' League. takes charge of the opposition. The amendment as drafted, though not introduced in Congress, reads as follows: "Section 1. No political, civil or legal disabilities or Inequalities on account of sex, or on account of marriage unless applying to both sexes, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their Jurisdiction. “Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." Mrs. Kelley says those who have strug gied for years to obtain beneficent laws to better the conditions of wage-earning women view this amendment with great alarm. “They are sineerely convinced that it would wipe out ail regulatory legislation of this character now on the statute books, constitutionality of which has been sustained by the United States Supreme Court after a decade of litigation,” she asserts. To al! of which the National Woman’s party and legal advisers answer that all protective laws for women will remain intact because upheld by the police powers of the States. Nevertheless, this avalanche of criticism is having the effect of such careful treating in wording the amendment that the form as proposed has not been definitely decided upon. Meanwhile, campaigns in ten States where Legislatures are in session are aiming for the passage of n bill removing civil and legal disabilities and inequalities against women in those States. Wisconsin passed such a law Inst year. It is about to be presented in tbe New York Legislature. The National Woman’s party stands virtually alone In this campaign for a “blanket bill of equal rights.” No national organization represented on the Women's Joint Congressional Committee has yet indorsed either tho Federal amendment or the Rtnte-by-Stnte method. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

MYRA’S FINGERS By A. R . FARL El G H

This story opened with Myra tampion, her mother and Arthur Brownson, a young lawyer, newspaper man and an admirer of Myra, all sitting In a spiritualistic “circle" in Chicago. During the seance, Myra's mother, who had strong clairvoyant tendencies, was enabled' to vision her onetime husband, Ben Campion, Myra’s father, who, following a divorce, had raarried a younger woman named Millicent. He was later found burned to death In his workshop on Long Island. Announcement that Ben Campion’s life was insured for a large sum, Myra being beneficiary to he amount of SIO,OOO, insurance companies charger! that Ben Campion, Millicent-, his young wife and Dr. Abner Campion, a stepbrother, had perpetrated a $710,000 swindle by substituting a cadaver for the body they were now claiming was that of Ben Campion. Following a trial in New York, Myra won her case again*! the insurance company, which carried the policy in her favor. Rome interesting features come out at the trial. On the witness stand Millicent tells the story of her early life in the New York slums and of her marriage with Campion and their happy wedded life. Harassed by Dr. Abner Campion, Millicent, after her husband’s death, drifts back Into her old ways and eventually dies in a delirium. Over her dead body, Myra’s mother talks with her departed spirit, with the result that all mysteries are revealed and Abner Campion, the stepbrother, is shown to be a villain of the blackest type. At this scene In MilHoent's death room, Arthur Brnwnson and Myra are mystified at be psychological manifestations of unseen spirit control. Read on f.-om here.

CHAPTER XlV—Continued His hand glided down the girl's arm till their fingers met and were in’crlocked | —“Myra's fingers”—he thought at the moment. Ilia warm touch reassured her. | “Let us watch,’’ he said, “ —and listen.” Mras. Farnham's eyes rested on Milliceut'B marble face, encircled with the glory of her red gold hate, while the four hands, the two of the living and the two of the dead, met above the rounded breasts, now tideless forever. From her attitude oqe would say that Myras mother was silently questioning the lifeless figure. Yet the watchers and | the woman herself know that she was ' not clairandient, that she would not hear a revelation. If there was anything ; of substance to her strange possession, Arthur knew and Myra guessed it Would come as a vision, something seen while the seer was under her own control. “Are you with him now, Millicent?” she said in the same low, even toned, even cadenccd voice which she used when the manifestation first descended upon her “Have you Joined him? Tell me if yon are with him? May I see you to gsther?” She looked long at the placid face ! Her own features were lighted up. one might say with a nimbus around bet j head. “Yea!" She gaaed more fixedly at the diminutive body on the bed. “Yea, I see , you, Millicent!" j "I see you saying goodby to Benjamin ! I see only’ your two figure*. There Is \ another one near—it is very dim—he is a heavy man and he walks slowly—yeg | —the figure comes out now—he is the j man at the trial—Scatters —he is waitj ing“l cannot see wtere all this is—ye*— now I see— iu a room—with an oven in It—it is a baker'a oven—made of bricka—j I see sheets of smooth, shining stuff like white oilcloth ” I “That is the inflammable celluloid/ whispered Arthur to Myra. “I see Benjamin takes cloths ofl tile* and little statutes—he is at out to piacg them in the oven—be has lighted a lamp : —now I see only you and Benjamin—l see you kiss each other -you are laughing together now you leave him.” Mrs. I’arnham paused as though there was a break In the defile of scenes before her mind. To Arthnr and Myra it seemed almost as though the immobile, 1 stretebed-out form of t£e child woman was presenting the pictures, as though some vislunl communications were passI ing from the dead hands through the living hands Into the consciousness of ; the breathing woman. It was as though Millicent were living over part of her. | past life and letting Mrs. Farnham see it with the memory of the spirit which had I pnsserd on. So the pause might be the | hesitation of the departed exhibitor, doubtful what next to show. 1 “Yes—l see you now with Scatters —It |is the outside of a little shanty It is very rough—-it la growing dark, but I can see green sedgo and cat tails and j purple iris—yes—it is the edge of the j marsh —there is a path going up the little hill—l see you and Scatters go up the j path—into the woods—yes, Millicent, I , will go with you ' “No? —what is it—yon wish me to go nwny?—what is it? I do not under--1 stand.” i Mrs. Farnham stopped short. Her visj ions seemed to have disappeared. Hht> I clasped the cold little hands convulj tdvely, bent her head lower and fixed her | eyp* wide open on the pallid face and 1 sealed eyelids. She was apparently try- ! Ing to see something that frightened her In the darkness. "1 am not to follow?—I must stay here? No?—I am to go back? Yes, I : will go back—but yon will not bo there —I understand —I will go back alone.” | She raised her head. She was seemingly going back along the path from j tbe woods to the edge of the marsh. She I

went on speaking as though ahe bad arrived outside the sack. “Yes, I am there Millicent. I see Benjamin come to the ovor of the shauty —he looks after you—he comes down to the path—he waves his hand over his head—it is a signal. “I see a man come from the woods on the other side —he is very cautious —now he comes up to Benjamin—l see him plainer—lt is—it is—Abner Campion.” Myra felt her fingers clasped closer in Arthur’s hand. He put his lips close to her ear. "We may learn something.” Mrs. Farnham was not disturbed by the new figures which came into her procession of tableaus. “I see Benjamin laughing at Abner— Abner is afraid —Benjamin invites him into the shanty—now they go in. V “1 see the room again—Benjamin is asking a question—l see Abner point back into the woods—l see Benjamin start to go out —Abner calls him back —they whisper together—Abner looks around the room—Abner usks questions —he takes up one of the little statues— Benjamin explains it — Abner has soiled his hands—he wipes them In the cloths from the siatues—Benjamin puts the tiles and the statues iu the oven—he closes it up—he points out of the door again—I see Abner shake his head. “1 see Abner take a bottle out of his pocket—a flat bottle—it is a flask — Benjamin slaps Abner on the back and laughs—he gets a glass and drinks. “I see them talking together again—now Abner pours out another drink for Benjamin—l see Benjamin take it—his head falls on his arms on the table —I see Benjamin struggle to his feet—he glares at Abner—now I see him sink into the chain—his head falls on his arms again—he seems to bo asleep.” Tbe vision-beholding woman had hardly moved up to this time except when her hands closed tightly on Mtllieent's cold fingers as she was sent back to the shack. Now, however, sudden little tremerg passed over her body. She shook slightly from head to foot. There were signs of a repulsion about her as though she anticipated her next picture and dread the sight. Her voice had quick fluttering*, her finger* opened and closed on the dead hands. “I see Abner stand up—he empties the bottle on the floor—the liquid makes a dark stain —he shakes Benjamin—he raises Bet Jumln's head—Benjamin seems unconscious—l see Abner push up Benjamins eyelids and peer into his eyes—there is no wakefulness in them. “I see Abu%r unlock a door—he bring* out great quantities of the white sheets like oilcloth —he takes Benjamin out of the chair—he puts Benjamin on tbe floor - he is covering him with tho white sheets—he covers the whole body with them—be plies the sheets —he goes to the door and looks out —I see him put tbe chairs and the table close by Benjamin on the floor. ”1 see Abner —” A convulsion went through her body. Her lips parted and her eyes fixed as they were before on the dead woman's face, now roiled in their sockets with agitation. Her words came in spasmodic gasps. “I site Abner put the lamp on the floor —1 see him. light a match—he puts It to paper aud shavings—he pushes the table over on the lamp^—it hursts Into flamcee—l see Abner flee Into the woods —1 see a great blaze—it Is fire —firelire ” Her voice reached a cry of alarm. The shack with the living man Inside must have flamed up in her sight. Then the vision must have been shut out Into darkness. She collapsed. Her head fell forward on Millicent's stUi breast and the quick and the dead lay motionless toget her, CHAPTER XV. Arthur ard Myra lifted Mrs Farnham, supported her into the inner room. She looked about her vaguely as full consciousness returned. “I seem to have been far away,” she said. ”1 am tired. 1 feel that I have been walking in rough places.” Myra was astonished when her mother declared that she did not remember anything of the scenes and Incidents she j had described. Arthur knew the explana- • tion of the psychologists for such manl- ! testations. They would say that Mrs. Farnham had brooded over the contra- j diction of her belief in the vision of Ben s spirit by Millicent's confession of Sis survival, that subconsciously she had ' solved the contradiction by imagining

that Abner had deceived Millicent aud had murdered her husband, and that this solution lay hidden from herself in some deep, undisturbed pool of her mind. Then, self hypnotized, she sat by the dead woman, fell into the fringe of existence between sleep and waking and the solution rose from that pool in pictures, bodied with detail and incident, like shifting mirages or the phantasmagoria of a dream. Yet the revelation startled him. He had been convinced of the conspiracy to defraud aud Millicent’s story confirmed \ that. Also, however, he had believed j that. Ben was in hiding and that a body j had been placed in the shack. Despite j ail the endeavors of the insurance companies, with lavish expendltmes and ' battalions of detectives, they had not i found the slightest trace of Ben nor had they discovered that from any source | Abner had obtained a cadaver. They ) had gone over all records of medical colleges, of hospitals, accounted for all their dead, no subject had been bought or stolen for the doctor. (To-Be Continued.)

Daily Fashion Hints

J jl Gjr \

Tbe season of winter hats is on the wane. Already I am turning my eyes greedily to the new models for Southern and early spring wear. But this huge and picturesque model, though a winter hat, Is too aliuring to pass lightly by. A big model on the plctu;# hat type to which we have given cur earnest favor, the most noteworthy feature is the made bird with which it is trimmed, not forgetting the two long tail feathers to droop from the brim. Another hat I saw, a French hat, too. was trimmed with two birds grouped closely together. It is many a long day sine* we have used birds, so perhaps the time is ripe for their return. This theory seems to be substantiated by the use of a wreath of little made wings on a turban I fouad last week. Another fishion revival, but from infinitely further hack, is the purse that hangs from the girdle. These purses are made to match the frock or coat with which they are worn, trimmed, as this one. with fur or embroidered or beaded Romantic, picturesque and more or less unsafe and impractical sums them up pretty welL However, If you would be ultra smart you will surely have a great, copious pouch to hang from your g'-dle almost to your knees, so eiabort* In fabric or beading or embroidery as to be almost as valuable as its contents, and large enough to hold purse, handkerchief ond vanity case. It puts us almost on a par with the sex that can boast of fourteen pockets or so.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR By David Carr ——

As Puss Junior and his fellow travelers left Little Tom Tinker's house they heard a child crying some distance off. The sound seemed to come from a small baker's shop, and thither our travelers turned their steps. Outside his door stood the baker, whip in hand, and by his side was a small boy, weeping bitterly. “What's the matter?" asked Puss Jtrnlor. "Charley. Charley, stole the barley Out of the baker's shop: The baker came out and gave him a clout. Which made poor Charley hop.” Puss Junior looked at the big baker, whose face was flushed and angry, and then at little Charley, whose face was streaked with tear stains. “Don’t strike him again, please,” said Puss. The baker dropped his whip on the sidewalk. “Perhaps I've whipped him enough,” he said: “but It's a bad boy who steals, and Charley certainly stole my barley, for there Is the bag on the ground Just where he let It drop when I caught him.” Yes, It certainly was so. The bag had broken and the barley was scattered over the walk. Charley stopped crying and looked very guilty. “And it was only last Friday that I sent his mother some cakes,” said the baker, “because she was ill and could not bake.” “She is ill today,” sobbed Charley, “and Mr.* Brown came over to take care of her. But we had no barley in the house to make broth for her: neither did we have any money: that’s the reason 1 took the bag of barley. I didn't mean to steal it." “What!” cried the baker, “is your good mother sick? Take her the barley and tell her to pay me when she can." and then he ran into his shop and brought out another bag oj barley and handed it to Charley. “You are a kind man,” said Puss Junior, as the small boy ran off to his home. “Have you any nice fresh crullers?" “Yes," said the baker. In a few minutes Puss and Jack;' were eat.ng crullers, while Tom Thu nb and the Blackbirds were eating the crumbs. You see. a cruller was ns big as little Tom. In fact, he could crowl through the hole: so he and the Blackbird were quite content to eat the crumbs!—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.)

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.] WEDNESDAY. Mrs. Hooper was up long before any one in the sleeping ear was stirring. She wanted to dress more carefully than it was ever possible when the dressing room was filled with women and drt.ii staggering about trying to keep on their feet,in the swaying train while they adjusted their clothes. But early as she was there was one other women there before her. “Good morning, ma'am/* said the stranger. “Good morning,” answered Mrs. Hooper cheerfully. “Are you getting off early this morning?” “Yes, 1^ expect to get into the stafioa at Indianapolis by 8 o'clock,” replied the woman. “Oh, do yon live In Indianapolis?” inquired Mrs. Hooper, anxious to get some first-hand information about the place in which she expected to live.. “Oh, yes, I've lived there for years,'•j answered the woman without much en-J tbusiasin as she rolled her hair In il loose knot and fastened it at the back! of her neck with wire hairpins that stl took from the pocket of a little travel! ing apron that she wore. 1 “What a handy apron that Is,” nl marked Mrs. Hooper, forgetting for thr moment her interest in the place to which she was going in her more usual curiosity about any new or convenient contrivance In wearing apparel or household equipment that she had never seen before. “Oh, yes, I think it is rather nice,” ' agreed the woman as she took off the . apron to show it to her, “and it is so simple. I made this one myself.” “Yes, I see how easily It can be put together,” said Mrs. Hooper as she took it up and examined it. “It is Just a ! straight, square piece of material wit£ pockets sewed on it in which to put yonr brush and comb, soap dish and all the j other things you hare to take to the j dressing room with you when you ■ travel.” ! "Yes,” assented the woman, “and then you tie it around your waist just like any other apron when it is in use and then the strings fasten it when you roll It up to put it away.” At that moment Helen appeared at the dressing room door, having followed her mother when she waked up and found she had left the berth. Over her arm she carried the little basket which Mrs. Hooper had fitted up for her at home months before to carry her toiler articles from her bedroom to the bathroom. She 1 had always such m habit of dropping t them one by <me along the hall as she went that Mrs. Hooper had one day de- ; vised the pretty little wicker basket with a handle which was always kept packed with everything she was using for her bath. Helen had been quite cured of her noisy “scattering" habit and always used her bathroom basket The strange woman looked at it as she set it ou the only chair lu the dressing room. ‘•Well, I think that's a much nicer i contrivance than my apron to carry ; your brushes and *oap around in.” : “It's very nice for home,” agreed Mrs. Hoover, “but I think your ides is a I better one for traveling.” I “I don't pee what you'd need one at ! home for at all,” exclaimed the woman; “you usually keep things in the bathroom where you use them, don’t you?” Mrs. Hooper explained the annoyance she had always suffered from hearing Helen dropping her things until she had discovered this simple of training her. Tho woman laughed. “I guess you'rs one of those fussy housekeepers, aren't you 7” Mrs. Hooper didn’t deny the charge as she brushed out Helen’s long curls. “But you didn’t tell me about Indianapolis,” she reminded the woman. “I'm going t make my home there.” “Well, all I can say Is,” replied the woman, “that you are going to hate It I do and I can't see how any one could possibly like it.” But two hours later when they rolled into the station at Indianapolis and Henry met them all smiles and good cheer, she knew that the woman on the train was wrong. She had a feeling that she would like Indianapolis very much. BREAKFAST, Baked Apples Creal Hot Biscuits Poached Eggs. • Coffee. LUNCHEON.
