IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Balmy Spring Days Inspire Garb Fancies Cape and Dress ‘En Suite’ Is Latest in Styles for Women. BY JULIA C. HENDERSON. * In the spring a ■woman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of clothes. The bright days of the past week have set femininity to thinking about what her spring garb shall be, and what style from the many shall she choose. The newest costume for the early spring seems to be the cape and dress en suite,” yet so finicky are the fancies of those who would be well groomed, that by the time another moon shall wane, and the warmth of the spring Jays shall surely have come thoughts wJI turn quickly to the dainty swisses, organdies, laces etc. in which womanhood revels in the summer days. Already are the stores showing these filmy effects and the style books are luring one on to the early possession of such a number of gowns as will make one ready for all occasions. And after all what is more enchanting than womanhood —young womanhood in particular in dainty summer clothes. SPORT TOGS ALSO APPEAR. And then, too, cornels the sports clothes with their vivid colors, their gorgeous stripes, their cretonne and Paisley effects, their comfort and ease, all crying aloud for acceptance by milady. It is not strange resistance to the appeal is not made easily, especially by the Aoung girl who loves just such things. Nature has made her so and blame should not fall too heavily on her for the love of the beautiful in which to clothe herself. Rather should she be taught moderation, and to keep within the bounds of her financial capacity in the purchase of her adornments. A well-known builder of gowns in Indianapolis says: “Observation and all early indications point to the low-waist line, the skirt longer and fuller—but not too long—the neck square and well up to the throat, the blouses fancy and loud in color, sleeves both long and short with some very wide ones. Tweeds are considered very good in tailor-mades, and with the colored blouse make a good effect. The trimmings on afternoon and evening gowns are profuse in flower effects, in gorgeous colors. Beading In new effect— larger beads than have been usedwill be much inevidence. Color will run riot, but the conservative black and darx blue, in rich weaves, ever will be good. Women already have succumbed to the new spring hat, which in these days cornel to us, after a foolish fancy, before winter is scarcely on its way, yet we must admit the brightness and cheer which it radiates in the gray days a beneficial effect. Another few weeks of such weather a S we have been having will see the public places alive with bright new toggery, a real transformation, as it were, from the vlnter garb, which necessarily must take on much of heaviness, even though rich in texture.

Notes of Interest to Women

The penholder used by Secretary Hughes Monday in signing the five treaties win he preserved to posterity by the Daughters of the American Revolution, in whose custody it has been plaeed. It is likely it will have a place in Memorial Continental Hall, where the treaty was signed. It is called the “flagstaff” penholder because it is decorated with miniature flags from twenty-eight nations, and includes the nine represented at the conference and several of the allied powers in the World War. It was made by David Fairbanks of Chicago from wood collected from the various nations and presented to Mr. Hughes Dec. 21, 1921. The holder is fourteen inches long. Mrs. John Ferry Collins of Seymour has been appointed to the city board of health by Mayor Charles L. Kessler. Mrs. Collins will fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. William O. Green. The American Bible Society, after more than 100 years of manufacturing Bibles, has announced it soon will close its plant in the old Bible house in Astor place, New York. The high cost of production was given as the reason for discontinuing publication. The society will continue distributing Bibles manufactured by other concerns. Mss Luclle Atchison of Columbus, Ohio, aspires to be the first woman enrolled in the American diplomatic service. She is being considered for the post of secretary of the Baris embassy. Miss Atchison believes women in' eveijy way are eligible for a diplomatic and, if given the opportunity, they will adequately fill administrative and executive poeitic ns.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1922.

OPERA SOPRANO SUPPLIES REAL MUSICAL TREAT Florence Macbeth Wins Local Audience With Voice and Charm. Indianapolis music lovers enjoyed one of the real treats of the season last night when Florence Macbeth, coloratura soprano of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, gave a program in Caleb Mills Hall. From the first notes of Handel’s "What’s Sweeter Than a New-Blown Rose,” to the last tender tone of Dorothy Forster’s "Mifawny,” the dainty slip of a girl, with her piquant, winsome charm, her compelling dramatic power and her golden glorious wealth of voice, that poured from her throat with the ease of the canary’s song, held her audience spellbound. Unlike the robust, statuesque type of opera singer, Miss Macbetji is “tres petite.” She is blonde, blue eyed and has a radiant smile. She wore a quaint frock of silver net over silver cloth edged with marabou, fashioned with a drop-shoulder chiffon drapery and hanging back panel. A silver net Juliet cap finished with clusters of rosebuds completed an attractive picture. lie program embraced varied types of numbers, from the operatic intrudes of the “Poiouaise” from “Mignon” (Thomas) to the wistful simplicity “Annie Laurie." If one could choose a favorite from among such a brilliant sheaf of offerings, the Norwegian Echo song “Kum Kyra” (Thrane) might be named. From a full round tone, her limpid voice fairly melted Into a silver thread and as the clear tones mounted higher and higher her eager audience held Its breath loath to lose a bit of the echo as It died away. The little lady sang the Mignon aria with brilliancy and poise, thrills and chromatics almost dazzling In their perfection. Interesting, too, were the sketches Miss Macbelh gave of her French numbers, including "II regardalt mon Bouquet” (Monsigny), “Le Paplllon” (Fourdrain), "Si leu Fleurs Avaient den Y'eux” (Massenet) and “Le Tasse” (Godard). Each song was dramatized by the skillful singer, her flexible voice interpreting the slightest shade of expression with such flawless artistry, that the audience Saw the flitting butterfly, heard the rebuke of the mother and breathed the scent of the flowers. Her last group w9s from English and American composers, embracing Curran’s dainty “Ilo! Mrs. Piper;" the tuneful “Pierrot" (Roter(s, “By the Fountain, (Ware and Leonl’ii dashing) “Tally-Ho.” She lifted trilled and fairly danced through the gay little numbers, all of them being ot the bright airy lyric type, peculiarly adapted to tfce coloratura voice. The close of each number brought round after round of insistent applause from her delighted listeners. As extras she sang the “Cuckoo Clock” “Anile Laurie and Dorothy Forster’s tender “Mifawny.” Mention also must he made of the ski! fully executed group of piano numbers by Miss Macbeth’s accompanist George Roberts He played "An Episode” (Geisler), “Hungarian" (MacDowell), “A Nocturne” (Woodman) nnd Godard’s "Le Cavalier Phantastlque.” The young artist displayed nice technique’ and effective interpretive power. As an accompanist he is almost perfect In that he makes (he Instrumental settings merely a soft changing background for the singer’s beautiful voice pictures.

Baily Fashion Hints ¥ By AGNES AYRES. Star In Paramount Pletums. Here la a French skating costume that you will want to go out directly and buy. To me it was irresistible. Always it seems a bit strange to me when I find French sports clothes that are altogether good. I do not expect it; what I really expect Is that all of the good • ports clothes shall have the earmarks of London on them. But there Is no least detuil hire but Is right. It Is made of kasha duvetyn in rust color, is furless, ns most of the good sports things are, nnd Is trimmed with small Jet beads. The Jet beads elaborately ornament the side front opening and are used on the sleeves In the same design. But the really unique and Interesting touch the trimming is the hnge loth collar and cuffs. Both ore corded with groat round cords, over which the loth is drawn loosely. The collar is almost Rhoulder width, soft, high and rolling The cuff3 are made wind and weather tight by ending in a tight band at the wrist. Straight, one piece, unfitted, the frock or coat, as you like, Is drawn It* about the waist with a few draped folds. The skirt Is only knee length, allowing plenty of freedom without taking away from the feminine grace of the figure, as knickerbockers sometimes do. The costume is Russian In inspiration, of course, as Is the small agnolla turban. Golf stockings and skating shoe* complete the ensemble.

Kill or Cure By Ralph Cummins

The elopement of Ethel Sniveler, daughter of IDdrock Snlveley, retired miner and Carter Ravenal, a rather dissolute young man, Is halted, when their automobile breaks down In their mad trip over the California mountains. The accident occurs near Snell’s cabin. He takes the elopers In for the night. The next morning, Snell loads up his pack mules and carries Ethel over the mountains, to Devil’s Hole, where they arc cut off from civilization for the winter. Ravenal is left behind with his meditations. Against her wishes, Ethel, rides aIJ day over rugged roads, through the storm. CHAPTER VI. When finally Ethel awoke it was daylight. She was alone in a large earthfloored room, with log walls covered with smoke-blackened newspapers. There was a stone fireplace opposite the crude bed upon which she lay. with a number of big rustic chairs occupying homelike positions in front of the fire. Beside the bed was a small puncheon table with a number of bottles, a tin cup and a black tin box with a significant Red Cross upon it. She noticed that the blankets upon her bed were white and new. Ethel tried to move and cried out with pain, ner exclamation brought a sU’.i fiercer pain from her stinging lur. s and burning throat. She realized that her chest was heavily bandaged, and that some soft material covered her raw throat Her cry brought a quick response. Snell entered from a door at the head of the bed and came quickly to her side. Ethel saw only the blurry outline of his figure. She could feel that he was standing beside the bed, and she guessed that he was looking down at her. “All right?" he questioned anxiously, and reached out to touch her forehead. Ilut she jerked her head aside. “Don’t touch me." she whispered and almost fainted with the pain of speaking. "Supposing we call the war off for a few days".’*’ said Snell, in a half-banter-lug tone that sounded strangely soft. “Y'ou ve got a fight on without our little quarrel. You've got pneumonia Ethel felt a wave of exultation, ne had brought her along for company. Well. a pneumonia-stricken prisoner would be anything but pleasant company. As if he read her thought Snell leaned over her. “What you say we got together and beat the pneumonia bugs? You want to get up and around quick—on account of this other fight of ours.” Ethel sniffed scornful y and turned her face nway. He was a fool to think she and want to get well. After a,long time she heard his voice as if through several walls. “It's too late for me to take you back out we’re stuck here till spring. But 1f it’ll help you to make this light ill say that I'd take you out <f I could—and If you'll dig up your fighting nerve I’ll make you a real promise. Say—you listening?” Something moved her to nod assent. “I’ll promise you that you 11 be }ust as safe here as you would be at home. New, that’s fair, ain’t it?” Suddentiv a surge of anew emotion engulfed the girl. She felt hot tears rolling down her check. With an augrv flirt of h>T head she looked at Snell "All right?” she muttered thickly. “I will get well—and then you brute—look out! I’ll kill you if I can!” “Good!" Th-re was a boyish relief in his voice. “Now let’s get bnsy." He took a ” rmomster from the first-aid box and .aid it at Ethel’s lips. “Open up," he ordered gently ’’Well see Just how strong the enemy Is this morning When the glass tube had been placed under her tongue he straightened. “Just to show you how bad I want you to get well." he said quietly, “I'm going to give you this." He took a Rmall automatic pistol from his pocket and poked it under the rough pillow. CHAPTER VII. That strange combination against the pneumonia germs evidently dtscouraged them. Anyway ihy gave up the fight. Next morning Ethel's temperature was almost normal, the gripping pain had left her lungs, and she could swallow with but alight discomfort the hot liquid that Snell brought to her. “Still storming.” he informed her with the pleasant boyish manner that he had adopted since their truce. “And the snow has got down here. See." He opened the door to show her the white blanket that enveloped the landscape. "It won’t stay long. Soon as it clears up this flurry will melt, and we’ll have some milder weather In here. Then I’ll get after some fresh meat,” he added with a trace of eagerness. Ethel remained in bed for three days, waited on and watched over by the efficient Snell. If she had a hazy wonder at the man’s respectful attention, she gave it no thought. She had promised. Somehow she did not doubt his word. And as the days passed and she was carefully assisted to a big blanket-cov-ered chair in front of the fire, and later welcomed to a place at the table in the kitchen, she grew more and more to accept Snell’s gentle attention as her due. and to feel each day a greater safety in his presence. And when she found in her room a pair of new overalls, that had been crudely altered in size, and a

pair of convas moccasins with leather soles, she almost laughed. The big room was Ethel's domain. After the day that he first helped her to their chair by the fire, Sneil did not enter that room while she was in it. j Each eveplng while she was in the kitch- ! en he would replenish the supply of wood ! beside the fireplace. After the first week be did not even do that. “If the truce is to go on,” he said quietly one morning, “and you’ve decided that you needn't kill me to be safe, it might be a good idea if yon took an interest in household matters. Oh, you don’t have to”—as Ethel's lips pressed together—“l expect I'm a darn sight better housekeeper than you’ll ever be, but it might help you to pass the time if you'd keep the place cleaned out, wash the dishes and get in the wood —it's in the shed right by the door. I s’pose I better do the cooking for a spell,” he finished with a grin. | Ethel did not reply to his suggestion, and after Snell bad gone out to see If ; his animals had found a breakfast, she sat for a long time staring at the rusty sheet-iron stove. 1 What was to be the end? Was she doomed to spend the winter In that awful place and in the companloship of this elemental savage? Would her father trace her to the cabin on the Cold Creek road and attempt to rescue her? She recalled Snell's repeated statements about the Impossibility of getting in or out of the "ey during the winter. There was scant hope of help from the outside. She sniffed with real disgust when she thought of Ravenal and the possibility that he might take a hand In attempting her rescue. ! During those first days she had j thought much of that little gun under her pillow, and when she began to move about she had made a little pocket for it Inside her flannel shirt. Sitting there In the kitchen she took the gun out and looked at it with something of contempt. | That was one way out, but somehow that angle did not appeal to her. Snell was 1 an enemy, but she felt no fear of him. All at once she found herself thinking seriously of Snell’s suggestion that she ido the work of the house. Somehow. once she thought beyond the question of i pride connected with a surrender to her captor's wishes, she found nothing particularly distasteful in the idea. It j would pass the time —and—-something strangely new to E'hel Sniveley’s reasoning came Into her mind. Kidnaper though he was, Snell hill played the game fair. According to some instinctive rules she should play fair wi:h him. The least she could do would be to do a woman’s work. (To Be Continued)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY.

"Jeanie come tie my, Jennie come tie my, Jeanie come tie my bonnie cravat. I’ve tied it behind, I’ve tied It before. And I’ve tied it so often I’ll tie it no more.” • l The queer little man stood in his doorway singing this song as Puss Junior astride the pig and Tom Thumb on the back of the dog, with the little maid walking between, arrived at the gate of the queer little house. “No wonder you can’t tie your cravat." said Jeanie: “your candle's out and the house is dark,” and she ran indoors, leavj lug Puss and Tom to put the pig in his pen. As for the dog, he seemed perfectly able to look out for himself. “Didn’t we promise to bring your little maid home?" asked Puss after the rig was safe in the pen for the night And the queer little man. who was standing still while Jeanie tied his long, flowing cravat, answered : “That you did, and you have done It!” And then he tried to look at Puss, but Jeanie held the ends of the cravat so tightly that he could ; scarcely move his head. “How about supper?" asked Tom Thumb. “That was part of the bargain. If we brought back Jeanie, we were to have shipper.” “Now that I’ve tied the cravat, we will j see about something nice to eat,” cried Jesnle. But when she went to the cup- ; board there was nothing left. “Who has been to the cupboard?” she cried in dismay. “Somebody has stolen the cake!” The queer little man Jumped up in a hurry, while Puss and Tom looked at each other as much as to say, “No supper!” And Just then an owl flew up to the window and called out: "A ragged man, all tattered and tom, is sitting under a tree in the wood eating cake. Where he got j it I don’t know. bfiit it might be yours." And then the owl flew away, with a hoot-tl-tooL “Come, Tom,” cried Puss Junior, ’ “there’s work for us. Let's capture the tramp." “I will help you,” snid the dog, and in a few minutes the three were stealing softly toward the wood. The moon was up, and threw a silver path along the grass, and as they looked about them they heard the owl hoot three times. And then, all of a sudden, they saw the roan all tattered and tom. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1922. TOl Bo Continued. Attention! AH members of the Robert E.

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 America# family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found 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.] FRIDAY. Living in the Brown's apartment made it possible for Henry as well as the children to come home for lunch, ao that It was always 2 o’clock In the afternoon before Mrs. Hooper found herself on her way to search for a house in which to live. She was really beginning to be worried over the prospect of finding Just what she wanted and had begun to go over In her mind, as to which one of those that she had already seen and passed as impossible she would really go back and take after her inspection of everything available had been exhausted. The whole week had been largely consumed Just looking at houses and scratching them off her list, as having something about them that seemed to her impossible. The first house she saw this afternoon was more what she wanted than anything she had yet seen and yet an examination of the plumbing had shown that it was old and insanitary and a talk with the agent had brought the Information that the owner wouldn't put a cent into repairs no matter how long the tenant was prepared to rent it. “He would rather come down a little on the rent,” the agent finally added. “No, I wouldn't live in a house with such poor plumbing if he gave it to me for nothing,” was Mrs. Hooper’s positive reply. “Well, plenty of people will.” answered the agent, a bit testily, and Mrs. Hooper shuddered to think that it was probably true. Mrs Elkins, the woman on the second floor had apparently lost interest in her as she had neither seen her nor heard from her since Wednesday, though she had promised to be on the lookout for something and to go out with her again if she didn't find something right away. ‘Tou are too particular, my dear.” Mrs. Elkins had told her at parting. “You 11 end by taking the house that comes nearest to what you have in mind with the right number of rooms, and then you’ll start in and add everything to make It comfortable and livable that you are going around expecting to find in a house already.” And Mrs. Hooper wag beginning to believe that this would be exactly what she would actually do before long. She wanted to allow herself a week anyhow |G* buy her new furniture and get it in place before leaving the Brown apartment. and while they would be paying no r°nt for the month of February, their things had arrived from MayfieU and as there was no place to put them In the apartment the Hoopers were occupying, they were being held in storage to be sent to the new address. This was a needless expense that had begun to worry Mrs. Hooper and make her more anxious than she might have otherwise been to find a house :o which they could be sent. When Henry came In to dinner he found her tired and discouraged after another afternoon spent In tramping about the city. No luck yet, my dear?” he asked worried at the tired worn look which had never appeared on her face in Mayfield no matter how hard she worked, and that he connected only with her anxious days when Betty was so ill.
