Many Women Now Seeking Employment Problem of Providing Work for Girls Serious as That of Men. By JCIIA C. HENDERSON. With the stress of industrial depression lomes the deplorable situation brought bout by the casting into the ranks of he army of unemployed a multitude of [iris and women. In Indianapolis, as in >tber cities of the country, the problem if providing women with work is Just ts serious as that of giving work to inemployed men. How to d"nl with the ltuation is puzzling the minds of those vho have undertaken the management >f homes for girls and Y. W. 0. A. work. Persons familiar with the employment ltuation in Indianapolis declare that t is now practically impossible for a voman to obtain employment at clerical vork or book-keeping. There is some lemand for stenographers, but salaries ire small. In nearly all lines in which vomen have been engaged the tendency s toward a reduction of working forces, vith the conseouent result of thousands if jobless girls. While many women have been laid ofT jy firms for which they have worked lor many years, a still larger number vho obtained employment during the var period have been released. In the majority of cases the unemployed [irl finds herself with funds sufficient o last not more than a month or two. fany of the girls have come to the city rom the rural communities and as their noney is exhausted are returning to their tomes, the result being a somewhat geniral back to the home movement Some lowerer, through pride or for other rest ons, make the decision to stay in the ity and battle against the odds which, n many Instances, prove t o ;V.tt. Many of those seeking work are past he age when they can secure a positi i ver alert, active young women unless hey are especially qualified by experlnce, adaptability and application. The workers among women 3rc giving nuch attention to the subject. Miss Amy Ciethly of the Y. W. C. A. says that orranlzatlon is attempting to find a soluion to the problem. The most promising feature of the sit latlon. it is pointed ont, is that womet n later years have been taught seiflerendenre and a realization that through heir own efforts and efficiency they m ot tand. This brings to them a confidence ind restraint which will he of tremenlous help in the present period. The ttitude of mind means much in the situs ion which the women and S ir!a are low facing. CHILDREN MUST STAND UPRIGHT, AVER DOCTORS Boston Physicians Assert Faculty Posture Cause of Many Ills. Scientists have found many children, iallow of complexion and generally below )ar , reach this condition through faulty (osture. Correct posture has been given ipeelal attention by Drs. Floyd Brown md Fritz Tabot of Boston. The Febnary Delineator magazine te.ls of these onditions In an article edited by Dr. Uan De Forest Smith, himself a noted nthorlty. The article says. “In order to form a correct estimate of : child's posture. It Is necessary to remove the clothing, at least that above the vaiit, and then to examine ‘he child rom the side. It should then be found he body Is erect, chest out, shoulders >ack, chin in, and. very Important, that he lower abdomen is held In and the lormal forward curve in the lower back s not Increased. The trunk as a whole ihonld incline slightly forward from the Ips. The weight should be more on the front han the back of the feet. In bad posure the chin is thrust forward, the ihoulders are somewhat rounded, chest lat, and shoulder-blades sticking out In >ack. The curve in the lower back Is ery pronounced and the abdomen somewhat pendulous. The feet Instead of lolnting straight forward, may turn out. t once was generally believed that the ■orrect way in which to walk was with he feet pointed out, and children were so nstructed. This Is entirely erroneous, loeing out tends to produce strain and lat feet. Thlß In turn hns a bad effect n the posture. “How Is this condition to be overcome? Sven In young children something may >e accomplished by having them make ixagjerated efforts to draw In the stoiueh and keep In the chin. IHOCLD BE TAUGHT 'ORRECT POSTURE. As soon as the child can be made to unlerstand what correct carriage Is. and this iften can be done between four and five •ears of age. he should be instructed In low to carry himself. This posture then hould be insisted upon repeatedly at all lmes of the day. Remember that there s a proper way to sit as well as to stand, md that the principles always are the ame—chin In, chest out, abdomen in. IhiMren, especially In first attempt lug to orrect their posture, almost Invariably llfow ont the chest, but at the same time fcrtst the nbdomeD forward, thus inreaslng the curve In the lower back and naklng the condition worse. It Is beter at first to stress the holding in of the hln and lower abdomen and to reserve he emphasis upon the position of the •best until later. It Is Dot sufficient to five a child a lesson In posture once a lay and then to forget about It for wenty-four hours. Like religion, It ihonld be practiced all the time."

Kewpie Pincushion Is Quaint Novelty and Easy to Make Rising like a little Venn* from waves of tulle, the kewpie calls attention to her captive pins. To make this pincushion you will need a cushion five inches square and two Inches high, two yards of pink satin ribbon two inches wide, one-quarter yard of pink malines, one-half of narrow pink satin ribbon, and a celluloid kewpie that will measure four Inches after you have removed its legs. Wind the ribbon around the cushion across both ends, allowing the joining to come at the endge of the cushion. Wrap ribbon around the center in the same manner, then In tbe opposite direction. Tack ribbon around the base of the cushion with a loose knot In each corner. Make a rose, using the remaining piece of ribbon, as follows: Fold ribbon through center and gather it. Roll one end between your thumb and finger, wind it around and sew it to the front of the cushion. Cut tbe kewpie's legs off and sew Its body to the center. Cut malines Into four-inch strips and gather two of them together through centers to form double ruffles. Fasten them around the kewpie, holding them In place by tying the narrow ribbon around the waist—February Delineator.

MYRA’S FINGERS By A . R . FARL EI G H

Ben Campion, an inventor, was burned to death in his workshop on Long Island under suspicious circumstances. His life was insured for 5210,000. MUUecnt Campion, hia second wife and Dr. Abner Campion, a stepbrother, were suspected of perpetrating a swindle by substituting a cadaver for the body they claimed was that of Ben Camptoir. Myra Campion daughter of Ben, and Mrs. Farnham, former wife and mother of Myra get first knowledge of Campion’s death while seated In a spiritualistic “circle" In Chicago. Mrs. Farnham, through the medium, t gets a communication from Ben’s departed spirit. In the same circle sits Arthur Brownson, young attorney and newspaper man and an admirer of Myra, Their hands are clasped to complete the circuit. Being disbelievers in tilings occult, they prove “adverse Influences” in the matter of obtaining clear messages from the Beyond. The only words that come through clearly are “Myra’s fingers, Myra's fingers.” Myra vvus a beneficiary In her father’s Hfo insurance to the amount of 510,000. The company refuses to settle on the grounds mentioned above. A test trial follows In New York. Miltleent, the young wife of Ben Campion, who before her marriage to him, was a resident of tbo slums, Is an interesting witness at the trial. Abner Campion, with Millieent face grave charges. Following the trial. In which Myra gets a verdict In her favor, Millieent goes hack to her old life. She eventually die* in a delirium, with the mystery of Ben Campion's death still unsolved. Over *he body of Millieent, Myra’s mother, whose faith in spirit communication remains unshaken, talks with the dead. The information thus acquired, is sufficient to clear away all mystery and Involve Dr. Abner Campion In an Inextricable network of misdemeanors from which he Is unable to escape. Head on from here. ('HA FT Ell X V—C ont inued Mrs. Farnham's vision established not only a theory but a motive. The testimony at the trial showed that Abner hnd hired an auto on the evening of the flr. that ho bad ample time to go In It to the shack and return so the garage. According to tbo companies’ deduction he did this to carry Ben to a hiding place; according to the vision he did It to murder Beu with the motive of plainly stealing the dead man's share of the fortune through subsequent fraud or elimination of the widow. Events followed the roa-1 in reason. At the very moment Abner was the sole claimant to the whole $200,000. Benjamin win dead, Millieent was dead—the full awards on the policies—all the money must go to Abner Campion. Myra had kept quiet while Arthur made his induction from the facts and fancies. She was still In an awe at what sh bad seen and heard. Arthur made one or two paces In the little room. "What Is It?” ashed Myra. "We know everything," he answered, “but we can prove nothing. How can we bring;'your mother * vision Into court ? Ve would 1h laughed at by Judge and Jury, press arid public. Abner's lawyers would cover uv with ridicule.” "There Is Millieent’* confession.” “The ravings of a delirious woman We could not get it before the Jury. It was not taken In accordance with local requirements to serve ns testimony, without a notary, not lg the expects tlon of death. Abner’s lawyers would k"ep it from being read." “But." said Mvra, "when the case comes to trtal again they will not Lave MLlb-ent's evidence ns to the Identity of the body." “Abner will Identify It. Scatters will Identify It. the others will testify again. The case will not be ns strong ns before. but It will be strong, strong enough. No. ns 1f stands, Abner may take all the money." Tie was absorbed in his problem, forgot the woman he loved, close by his side, forgot the woman In the other room now beyond all problems. "1 must try to break Abner's alibi,” he went on, "but we have nothing except the old testimony of the gar.igek>>eper. I must establish that Abner was at the shack with Benjamin Just before the fire. The testimony does not do that.” Myra's brain wag a dynamo, working to produce a clew, to make some suggestion. “There are the sugar-coated pills," she said. “True, but there again, who saw him administer them. Wo have nothing but the story of a dead woman.” "They would leave some trace." "Yes. There must lie an autopsy. If that should prove that the woman died of poison and we find the pills are poison, (hen we must connect them with Abner. Perhaps we can prove he had such pills in his possession." Ills in Ind flashed away, seeking methods of bringing this about. Could they raid Ms office and rooms? “If they are poison,” ho said, “vee could at least make au accusation. There would be grounds for his detention. Your testimony that Millieent gave you the pills would be ample for the police. They are not qualmish, they would ransack this place—even if they did not find pills made up, they might find the Ingredients yes—that would work—that would work.” Te paced up nnd down another moment and and went to the telephone. The laboratory answered. They hnd not finished the analysis of the pills, but enough had hoen developed to show that 1 they contained a slow poison; they could

not exactly say what the substance was for they had as yet only the chemical bases; when they had checked up they would give a complete report: this was merely preliminary, but the fact of poison was indisputable. Myra gasped forth as she heard his words. “Then he has murdered both Millieent and my father?" “That must have been his plan from the beginning.” “Oh, do not let him escape.” “No fear, I will have one of our deputy sheriffs put him under arrest Immediately." The response on the telephone surprised him. From the insurance company's office In New Rochelle they answered that Dr. Campion had not been In his office all day. Detectives were trailing him, but no further Information was available. He turned away irorn the instrument, vexed. "We will have to wait a little longer," he said. “Then I will turn the whole matter over to the police.” "After twenty years'" Mrs. Farnham the words with a bitter Intensity. Her nervelessness disappeared. The swift rebound of her brain to a dangerous height of excitement showed In her tight lips and glittering eyes. "I have prayed for this." she cried, "prayed to see him with the shackles on his wrists. I knew the dnj would come when I could gaze at him through the bars of a cell.” She looked as though she saw him thus at the very moment. There was a knock Myro opened the door. On the threshold stood Abner Campion. "I have come here,’ he began, "with an order from the court and with one of i:s officers, to enforce ’my right as her physician to see Millieent Campion.” lie was very calm, very determined. Toward them all, generally, he held out some kind of a document. Arthur guessed it was merely an order to show cause why he should not he admitted, and that he hnd obtained it for the purpose of frightening Myra and her mother Into consenting to hi* interview with MR llcent. Back of Abner, in the shadows of the hall, stood a man in the blue uniform of a court attendant, whose presence, entirely unnecessary, was paid for with a few dollars, In order to further intimidate the woman. "Let me see your order, said Arthur. "You are not concerned in this matter, sir. This order is directed to Myra Campion nnd Myra Farnham." ( lie made a quick movement to the door of MlUlccnt's room. Mrs. Farnham sprang forward, stood in front of him. "Stop'." Arthur's command was simultaneous with the woman's action. Abner paused disconcerted. Arthur's presence prevented him from bullying the women. At the same time he meant to reach Millieent, appeal to her by love of Benjamin to keep silence and to make a lying promise to take her to her busband's hbllng place as soon as she was able to move. Mrs, Farnham suddenly flung open the door of the death chamber. ■ You are too lute. Abner Campion.” -he cried. “Look there'" She pointed to the bed. to the slim. Mend r form stretched upon It, to the Illy white face nureoled in the mass of red gold hair, to the crossed hands on the peaceful breast. "Look on your latest victim!" The man blanched for an instant, then pulled himself together and turned to leave the room. “Very sad," he murmured, “very sad.” Ills eyes fastened on Myra with a sudden gleam of ferocity and hate. "Y’ou are alone to blame for her death.” he hissed. "You stole her from her physician on the eve of her recovery. I will make 1t go hard with you.” “it will go hard with yon. Abner Champion." cried the mother, “when you stand In court and answer for her murder wdth poison 1” “What babble Is this?" he said ”1 will report these words to the police immediately nnd ask for your arrest.” He moved towards the hall. "One moment." Interrupted Arthur. "I will go with yon to the police.” The doctor mads a motion to his hip pocket. "Useless!” said Arthur, n had the pseudo physician covered with an antornatlc: “Go quietly. I will be one foot behind you.” Abner passed out without a word. His usually placid face was seamed with the quick workings of his mind. He could not guess how much they know, but felt he was in a trap and his Intellect fermented trying to devise an escape. On the sidewalk Arthur motioned to two detectives. “Take this man to tho nearest police station and accuse him of the murder of Benjamin Campion and Millieent Campion." Abner shriveled when he heard the name of Benjamin nnd realized what the accusation meant. He hnd not suspected that there could be a scintilla of suspicion In that direction. He made another motion towards his weapon, hut the men were too quick. They snapped the handcuffs on him. "Let me know when he is sent to headquarters. I will Join you there.” They carried him off. Arthur rejoined Myra and her mother. The woman was still in a state of exaltation, almost like that in which the visions hnd come to her. Myra had taken little part In these Incidents, it seemed as though she had brought events to a certain stage and then Arthur and Abner and Mrs. Farnham hnd seized their management and direction. Each felt that they were near the crisis of an epoch In their lives. (To Be Continued.)

Daily Fashion Hints The holidays have most successfully and completely croweded all the bread and butter clothes Into the background, but ns the holidays mher in our gayest and busiest 6ocial season perhaps it Is Just as well. Evening frocks, evening hats and wraps and accessories scintillate before our eyes from every shop window. I use scintillate advisedly, tor there is scarcely an article of evening attire that does nut flash with touches of, metal. The frock in the sketch Is simplicity Itself In line and drapery. It can well afford to be, for It Is made entirely of a rich and heavy brocade rose and silver. Its only trimming being loops of rose velvet ribbon on the skirt, pleasantly contrasting In their plain simplicity, and an elaborate girdle. Girdles are growing not only more elaborate, more übiquitous but more obese as well. Some of them are soft rolls of fabric, some are padded, some wound with strings of pearls, while this one Is made of fair sized artificial Gowers, roses and huge forgetmenots. The girdle Is placed, as all good girdles are. well below the waist line, the straight blouse formally and rather stiffly draped above It. The blouse follows the conventions of the season, with a very modest neck line and a total absence of sleeve. Spmlsh or mid-Victorian Is the stiff and formal wired bouffanry of the skrlr —a bouffancy which confines ltselt almost exclusively to the hips. The uneven hem line, too, is favored In a skirt which hangs up in V he front and back and longer on the sides.

PUSS IN BOOTS JRHr David Cnry "We might have known we would see a black sheep," laughed Puss Junior, as he and Tom Thumb and the Blackbird came to a pasture that bordered the highway. "Why?” Inquired Torn Thumb from the inside of l’uss Junior's pocket, where he had hidden himself so as to enjoy a good nap. "Because the Blackbird Is traveling with us ag our comrade." answered Pass, "as we may expect to find black sheep, black cats, black this and black that.” The sheep by this time bad come up close to the fence and stood looking at our three small traveler* with much Interest. The Blackbird, who had perched himself on the top rail, was the first to speak. "Baa. baa. Black Sheep, Have you any wool?” "Yes. sir, yes, sir. Three bags full. One for my master, One for my dair.e And one for the little boy That lives In our lane.” answered the Black Sheep. and hs wiggled his little tall baek nnd forth. “I'o you belong to Little Bo Peep?” asked Tom Thumb, sticking out his head from Pus* Junior's pocket. "No, sir, no, sir,” answered the Black Sheep. "And I’m sure you’re not Mary’s Little Lamb,” said Puss JMnlor, “for I have seen It, and it doesn't look anything like you. It's white—its fleece is white ag snow.” "I'm just plain Baa, Baa Black Sheep,' replied the sheep. But have you seen the little boy that lives In our lane?" "No. I haven’t." said Puss. "Well, he’s Just the nicest little boy you ever saw.” said the sheep. "Y'ou come along with me nnd l’U take you to him." So our three small travellers followed the Black Sheep who led them down a shady lane to a stunll house. In the frout yard was a little hoy playing with his toys. On seeing the Black Sheep he ran out of the gate, but stopped and held back as soon as he saw Puss Junior and the Black Bird. He didn't see Tom Thumb at first, for Tom was still Inside Puss Junior’s pocket. "Here are Rome friends of mine, little boy,” said the Black Sheep. "They are all Mother Goose People, so you need not be afraid of them. “I’m not.” said the little boy, “only I was surprised—l wasn't afraid.’ "Bravely said, my boy," said Puss Junior, "and If yon wish.

Follow them daily in an interesting review of i heir home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] THCRSDAY. Mrs. Hooper felt as if she would smother in the apartment to which Henry had brought her and the children and about which he was so enthusiastic. They had all been so excited at seeing each other yesterday and the children had been so tired and hungry after their long trip that she bad done little but unpack the suit cases, cook luncheon anil dinner in the little kitchenette and dispose of the family as best she could for the night. As they sat at breakfast in the big room that served as living-room and dlnning-room In the apartment, Mrs. Hooper exclaimed. “I don't see how people can live this way all crowded up in a few rooms with everything on top of them." “Why it looked rather comfortable to me after tbe barren looking places I saw at the bearding houses 1 visited,” returned Henry. "Oh men never know how to look for things," said Mrs. Hooper wearily. “But I am thankful to have this place to come to when we arrived and I am glad that I didn't trust you to look for a house In which we were to live permanently." “Y'es I knew better than to attempt that, but it is really splendid to have had this bouse offered to us to fill In until you can look around. I think It was a huge piece of good fortune myself.” “But how a man Rnd a woman and three children can endure living in such close quarters is more than I can see,™ added Mrs. Hooper. “Well of course It may not be so easy to find the kind of house you have in mind as you think it will be,” Henry warned her. “How long can we stay here?” asked Mrs. Hooper. “Until the first of March,” replied Mr. Hooper. “Mr. Miller, the man who owns it will be away until then and he will be very glad to have us stay right here until he returns." “Well I don't see how I'm going to stand it,” continued Mrs. Hooper, “but I suppose I won’t be la the house much. If 1 have to spend much time looking for a place to live, and then I will have to buy furniture and attend to so many things In spite of all my complaining I realize fully that It Is fine to have a place like this to stay in while I am getting settled In anew house. It makes everything so much simpler and cheaper.” "I should say It did.” exclaimed Henry, who was a little hurt at Mrs. Hooper's lack of appreciation of the good luck that had befallen them. "When do I start to school?” asked Roger. “I’m crazy to meet some new boys. It's pretty lonesome without all your old pals." “I hope that's not all you are going to school tor," remarked hia mother, reprovingly. “Oh. not exactly.” said Roger, “I'd really rtther not go at all but start right lu and look for a job.” “That will do on that siihject.” warned hls mother. “We'd better go and see about the schools for you and Helen In the morning, so you can begin at once, and the first thing after that I'll itart looking for a house.” The menus for the three meals on Friday are:

Fashion Hints From Paris The draped frock for evening wear has been summoned from its long retirement. It is sponsored here by Jenny, in particular. and is being extensively worn. Kuots and tassels stand out on it very effectively. These frocks are really of one piece wrapped about the figure and relieved by drapery at the sides. Tha length Is half way from the knee to tha ankle. It is srathered a bit at the waist over one of the modern idea corsets. While there is no prohibition here, I‘aris has adopted from New York tha idea of putting a flask pocket in some of the new gowns. The pocket is half-pint size. Frequenters of the Montmartre cases are wearing these gowns, but tha idea is faddish and will not endure long here. The reason Is. the ladies don’t have to take liquor to the cases.
