■ IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS *

HOTEL MANAGED BY WOMEN NOW QUITE POPULAR Grace Dodge Hostelry at Washington Proves Big Success. The national board of the Young: Women's Christian Association did a big thing lor the women of the country in establishing the Grace Dodge Hotel in Washington, D. C., judging from the favorable comments one sees in the papers and magazines testifying to its value to women travelers. It was opened last fall, just opposite the Union Station plaza, and is used exclusively for the woman visitor to the Capitol. The hotel of nearly 400 rooms is managed entirely by women. It is a fireproof structure and has splendid hotel equipment throughout. Miss Mary Augusta Lindsley, the manager, is a college bred woman of broad experience, has a corps of trained women employes who look after the comfort of the guests. So complete is the service that it contains suites completely furnished for mothers traveling with small children, containing all of the nursery needs. Another feature which appeals to women is what is called the valeting room, which may be rented at a nominal sum by the woman who feels the need of pressing out wrinkles made by close packing of her best garments. As the hotel is being used very generally by women who come to Washington to attend sessions of Congress or who have favorite bills that they care to see put hrough, the information hostess, Mrs Angus McKay Porter, will furnish all information as to the status of such bills before Congress and will give general information to the woman who is seeking legislative help. A sitting room on each floor is maintained for the exclusive use of all the guests located on that floor. Women’s conventions and delegates are finding it a place greatly to be desired for their gatherings and the hotel is giving special attention to convention needs and equipment. The fact that the national board management will use the hotel as a training school for college trained women in hotel management is evidence that similar hotels will spring up all over the country, in the large cities where there is abundant proof of the needs of them. The hotel is named in honor of the late Grace Hoadley Dodge, the founder of the national board of the X. W. C. A. The hotel has gained some distinction as being one of tipless fame. Any employe seen accepting a tip is subject to immediate dismissal. In this regard the management has many times met the dilema of tips being left in the absence of a member of the staff. At a recent discussion as to w T bat to do with such amounts ss have accumulated in this way it was decided to give the amount to the Colored Y. W. C. A., since many of the staff are colored. Indianapolis women who have visited the Grace Dodge are loud in its praise of a long felt want in the nation's capitol. Anew face is to be seen on the new peace dollar, and the one we have been so familiar with for so many years is to be displaced. Since 1878 Miss Anna D. Williams, head of kindergarten work in the public schools of Philadelphia has looked out into the faces of those who were able to own a dollar. She was selected by George Moran, English sculptor, when she was a student at the Pennsylvania Acadamy of Pine Arts. The new peace dollar will bear the likeness of Mrs. Anthony di Frandsci, the young wife of the Italian sculptor who has designed the new dollar. The new coin commemorates peace among the nations.

OLD SONGS STIR VP MEMORIES American Folk Singing Is Mostly Borrowed. Emily John Luton, writing in the February Designer, does not consider that America has any real folk-songs, and asks of they are to finally come to us through such writers as A1 Jolson, George M. Cohan and Irving Berlin. She considers our so-called folk-songs are those of England which have been popularized by such singers as the Fuller Sisters. “Miss Rosalind Fuller told me not long ago,” says the writer, “That on one of their tours they had a most Interesting experience In New Hampshire, where they found a perfect treasury of old songs stowed away in the hills, a part of the country settled generations ago by Scotch and Irish immigrants. So Interested did they become In the subject that they arranged a folk-song festival at Cornish. “ ‘We went around first in a iaywagon,’ said Miss Fuller, ‘and stopping In front of each farmhouse we sang some of our songs. The farm people soon came out, curious about sucb an odd proceeding as ours must have seemed to them. And then before you could realize it, out would pop a tune similar to that we had sung, which someone in our impromptu audience had remembered being sung by parents or grandparents. “ ‘One very interesting experience shows how the singing of the flock-songs aroused memories of long ago in the heart of an old Scotchman. When we arrived in front of his house, he was playing the phonograph, listening to the records of some of the music of the day. Soon after we sang and had talked with him he ran back Into the house, and after being gone some minutes came back breathlessly to explain that he had gone to the attic and found his old sidle, covered wib dust. He had not touched it for years. He Immediately began to play, and became so interested In our project for the ‘folk-song festival that he, a man of advanced age, danced most surprisingly at the fair that followed.’ ”

Attractive Attire For House Dress The question of being attractively attired at your morning household tasks Is answered in a house dress, made with two-piece skirt attached to a simple bit se In V or square neckline. The rolled collar can be short or as long as the waist fronts. Suitable materials Include cotton poplin, linen, chambray, checked gingham, figured lawn or voile. The lower edge of the skirt Is about 1% yards. Size 88 requires 4% yards of 36-inch poplin. This house dress would look well on the woman and miss of 32 to 4h inches bust measure.—From the March Designer. SOME PARIS FOIBI-ES. The fashionable Parislenne, says the February Designer, wears long kid mitts an dher kid bag dangles fro mher girdle. Mancy mesa veils with chenille dots are and her kid dangles from her girdle, robe, and to round out the effect you should add satin or suede slippers with high or low heels, and a pair of Russian boots if you bite them.

Kill or Cure By Ralph Cummins

Failure to get Ills automobile to move on and being forced to take refuge from the storm in the cabin of Snell, the mountaineer, upsets the plans of Carter Kavenal for a successful elopement and marriage. In this trying period. Carter plainly shows ills weaknesses and Ethel bites her lips In disgust. Snell owns horses, but refuses to ullow them to carry the runaways to the city where they had expected to be married. The only alternative Is to remain over night In the cabin aud await some nassershy on the next day to repair the automobile. Snell prepares the luncheon and plans are made for a night in the mountain shack. Continue the narrative from this point. CHAPTER IV. Ethel Snively awakened to the gusty swishing of rain upon the roof. From beyond the blanket curtain, came the warm firelight, and the crackle of burning wood. There was a pies -nt odor of smoke and the aroma of frying bacon. She arose at ones’ and with chattering teeth drew on her shoes. Then she stepped into the firelight. Snell was busy before the fire. A bulky lump under the blankets on tbe floor betrayed ltavenal’s whereabouts. “Good morning, lady,” greeted Snell without looking up. “Better get up to the fire, it’s turned pretty crimpy.” Ethel stood beside the Are for some time. With a queer mixture of disgust and pity she watched the mountaineer baking flapjacks over the Are. “Better wash up,” ho suggested. •‘There'g a basin and water over by the door.” While she was bathing her face in the cold water Ethel was startle! by a commotion on the floor behind her. She looked around quickly-and laughed. Snell had awakened Ravenal by the simple method of Jerking the blankets away. Ravenni spluttered angrily and tried to burrow under tbe remaining blankets. “Time to roll out,” stated Snpll, with a caitn insistence. Then as Ravenal groaned and tried to roll into the lower bedding, the mountaineer picked up all the blankets and tossed them Info the corner. - Breakfast was not a social success. Ethel ached all over from the harl rough bed. Besides she felt mightily aggrieved at having to spend the night 1j such a place. Much of her grouch, perhaps, was due to he inability to move smell, and to her contempt for Ravenal’s utter incompetence. Ravenal was sour and silent. After they had eaten Snell washed tbe dishes and placed them in their proper packs. Then he folded all the bedding and plied it beside the door in readmes, f4r an early departure. Day was Just breaking. The rain had turned to snow and a harsh wind was driving the ice-like particles through the cracks of ,'he cabin. Without sneaking to the others Snell went out toward the shed where he had shattered the ntdmals. Kthei waited for Ravenal to speak. He diil not seem anxious to begin. “Well," she demanded at last. “What are we going to do?” Ravenal shrugged his shoulders and tapped the ash from his cigarette. “Oh. I’ll tinker up the car after this bird is gone, or if It comes to the worst wc can stop here until somebody comes

j along." "We can't stop here!" Ethel was very decided. “I never want to see the mountains again ns long as I live." S'nell came In leaving the door open and began dragging out his blankets and paek saddles. In a half-fascinated daze Ethel watched hltn saddle the four animals. Without comprehending she noted that pack saddles were placed on the two mules ami stock-riding saddles on the two mountain ponies. When the animals were all saddled Snell oar- ! t ied out a pair of canvas bags and hung them on the sawbuck horns of one of the pack saddles. T'pon that foundation he piled sn<ks and boxes until it seemed to Fthei ns if the mule must be forced into file ground with the weight. I'pon the top of the pack he spread the blankets and covered the whole with a canvas tied cover Next he threw a hitch with the pack rope and in spitp of the mule's protesting groans he cinched it tight. Finally the two mules were packed. Snell took a turn about the cabin peering into the corners in search of overlooked articles. He picked up a knife from the hearth and salvaged a halfburned eandle from the mantel. Then he sat down wth his back to the fire and filled his pipe. Calmly, deliberately, he looked from Ethel to Rnvenal. “Suppose we ramble,” he said quietly. Ravennl moved uneasily. Ethel shot a quick glance at Snell’s face. Her frightened gaze swinging bark encountered the bed upon jvhieh she had spent the night. With a stifled cry she ran across to the bunk. “My grip!” she exclaimed. "It's gone I—l left it on tlie bed 1” Snell puffed at his pipe and regarded her with hard, unblinking eyes. Ethel looked quickly around the room, then with a catlike movement she faced the mountaineer. "Where Is my grip?” she demanded. Snell took his pipe out of his mouth arid looked up at her with a smile. "It's In that gray mule’s pack,” he said. “What! What do yon mean?” The mountaineer tapped the ashes

from his pipe and rose. “All right,” he said pleasantly, “Let’s settle his. I’ve decided to take you with me.” “Why you're crazy!” Ethel tried to laugh. "Not so you'd notice. I'm pretty levelheaded. I’ve got this figured right. You’re the kind of woman who does as she pleases and considers nobody. You’re the kind that fool men fight over. Well—l’m counting myself in.” j “What—what do you mean?” “I'm going to take you away from this —this young man. He doesn't appreciate you. I will. I was figuring n six months all by myself. I've decided to have company.” “Why”—Ethel laughed a little brokenly and turned to Ravenal —“Carter, can you make out what this man is saying?” Kavenal had nothing to say. He tried to meet Snell's hard gaze but could not. . The mountaineer stepped close in front | of him. i “It's up to yon to fight If you want ! this girl," he declared. “I’m not flgnrj lng much on you doing any fighting, [ though. You're too yellow." He paused ! to let that insult soak in, then he went | on, his voice sharp with a deadly men- ! ace. “Now you get out of here! It ! ought to take you about one minute to fix your automobile. Then you can beat | it. And I wouldn't spread any alarm !if I were yon. It won’t heip the young ] lady any." Ravenal looked from the man’s hard face to Ethel poised iif uncertainty beside the table. Then he made a movement as if to go out. “Why, Carter!” cried the girl. “You’re not going to leave me! Why—of—oh, kill the beast—and take me away!” Snell laughed a harsh throaty chuckle ! and walked quietly across to Ravenal, who shrank away. “Might as well go now. She knows you're a coward and that lets you out with her.” As Ravenal hesitated Snell grasped him firmly by the arm and pughed him | through the door. Ethel sprang forward, but the way was blocked by the mountaineer. “Let me ont!” she screamed. "You devil! What do you mean?” "Steady! Don't go to pieces like that. Just take It easy and I’ll tell you about i “I won’t listen to you! Let me go!” She threw herself against Snell's body and beat at him with her fists. (To Be Continued.)

dUSS IN BOOTS JR. ■ B r D.rld Cry " “Little flshle In the brook. Pussy catch him with a hook: Then we’ll fry him in a pan, Tom Thumb eat him like a man,” sang Puss Junior leaning over the brook and keeping a sharp lookout for a fish. But 1 guess every little fish heard him, for not one came anywhere near the bank, and Puss at last grew tired and disgusted. Tom Thumb, who had crept out of his pocket, sat close by, feeling pretty blue and very, very hungry. The big Bull Frog had already eaten his supper. Half a dozen flies were safely tucked away ' under his yellow waistcoat, so he was feel’ng quite satisfied with everything. “Tom,” said Puss Junior, coming over j to where little Tom sat on a toadstool. “I’m a poor fisherman; let us leave this place and seek a place to eat and sleep. Toads and frogs seem to have an easy time getting their food, but when it [ comes to us it’s most difficult.” Tom seemed to think this a good Idea, so they both said good-by to the Frog and set out once more. The Black Bird was nowhere in sight, so they Just left him behind. If he couldn't come back in time, it was his own fault. It was now growing dark and It was time to he Indoors, as well as at a supper table. On end on they trudged, keeping a sharp lookout for a house. At last, they came across a little hut. There was no light in the window, but nevertheless. Puss stepped up to the door and knocked. A queer little man opened it and said; “High diddle doubt, my candle's out! My little maid is not at home; Saddle my hog and bridle my dog, And fetch m.v little maid home.” “Will you give us a good supper if we do?” said Puss. “That I will,” answered the queer little man. “Very well, then,” replied Puss, “Tom and I are ready. Show us your hog and show us your dog, and we’ll ride away and fetch your little maid home.” The queer little man then led them around to the rear of the hut. In a little shed stood a very nice looking dog, which tbe queer little mau bridled at once. Then he took down a saddle and placed it across the back of the Yery fat hog, who was in a pen next to the shed. “Now. who will ride the dog?” asked the queer little man. “I will,” said Tom, and then Puss jumped on the hog. and away they went, and next time yon shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 192 L David Cory.

Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and leatn to meet the conditions of tbe high cost of living with them.]

WEDNESDAY. True to her promise to be helpful by going around house-hunting with Mrs. Hooper, the neighbor who lived on the fit or below, Mrs. Elkins, appeared promptly at two o’clock ready to start. With no idea of beiDg ungrateful for the help that was being offered her, which wouid make it so much easier for her to find her way about In a strange place, Mrs. Hooper couldn’t help wishing that she could have had the Bride instead to help her select her new home. “I still think you are foolish to cut out all the apartments and not even look at them,” said her new friend, as they went down stairs from the third floor where the Brown apartment was located. “Well, I’ve quite decided against ail apartments,” said Mrs. Hooper firmly. “Even Mr. Hooper, who favored one at first, has come to my way of thinking that we can be very much more comfortable in some kind of a house.” i “I wouldn't go so far as to say yon would be more comfortable,” said Mr. Elkins, “nothing to my way of thinking is more comfortable than an apartment. But of course you may like it better and it may seem more like home and if yon are a fussy housekeeper I suppose y*n ! ea n make the place seem like it b*i longed to you instead of like a hundred j other people’s houses.” | “I suppose we will have to take the car to this first address,” said Mrs. Hooper i looking at the list that the real estate man had given her. “Oh no we can walk to that,” said Mrs. Elkins, “It's only a few blocks from here and a very good street and not far from the high school.” j “I have to take the location Into con- , sideratlon as well as the kind of house,” said Mrs. Hooper, "because I'd like easy walking distance to the office for Mr. Hooper and then not have it too far from the schools for the children." “Well we believe a person can find almost anything he wants in Indiani apolis if be only looks for it,” laughed ! Mrs. Elkins as they walked along the ' first city block, “but I never saw any- : one with her mind so made up to things as you are Mrs. Hooper and I hope you won't be disappointed in your search.” “I believe yoai think it would serve me right if after all I’d have to come to your way of thinking about living in an apartment.” “It certainly seems to me to be the only sensible way to live in a city,” replied Mrs. Elkins, “but every one to his taste.” The first place they inspected looked very inviting from the outside and Mrs. Elkins thought it was a “dear” if anyone really wanted a house and not in apartment, but Mrs. Hooper found that it was badly arranged and that while it was listed as having seven rooms, three of them were so small that in her estimation they were little more than closets, j "This wouldn't do at all.” said Mrs. Hooper, “the way these rooms are laid out would keep a person working all the time. It would be absolutely impossible to make any time schedule for your dally housework and keep to It in a house where you have to keep going back and forth over the same ground j constantly.” I “For goodness sake.” exclaimed Mrs. Elkins, "you don’t budget your time the way you do your Income do you?” "I certainly do.” said Mrs. Hooper, "and I’ve always been as careful about , the outlay of my time as I am of my I money. It's the only way to accomplish ! anything and have a little leisure besides I when one is keeping house.” “Well that's the queerest Idea I ever j heard,” said Mrs. Elkins looking at her new friend curiously. “You sure do take ! life seriously.” The menus for the three meals on Thursday are: BREAKFAST Orange Juice Cereal Hash on Toast Muffins Coffee LUNCHEON Boiled Rice Creamed Shopped Beef Bread and Butter Cookies Fruit Cocoa DINNER Rice Tomato Soup Fot Roast Vegetables Brown Potatoes Steamed Cabbage Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding

Notes of Interest to Women

A thoughtful son of an Indianapolis i woman who in her later years has des veloped a deafness has hit upon a plan whereby his mother may know just what Likes place la the church of her choice each Sunday. To this end he has employed a stenographer who takes the proceedings of the, whole service, even to the hymns sung.
