IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS •*

PRESENT DAY ‘AD’ WRITERS KNOW HUMAN NATURE Experts Invent Strange Lures to Entice Readers. . BY JULIA C. HENDERSON. Did you see In a current magazine the following on the back cover page, “See Inside pages 68 and 69"? And if you did, it is safe to predict that you turned immediately to those pages in quest of something new and startling. Such is the lure of the advertisements of tifday that they are as eagerly read as is the news of the more solid reading matter prepared for the general reading public. Those who are presenting the output of the world’s work are using every attractive and alluring means possible to catch the public eye. So enticing are the average advertisements, not only In reading matter bnf in art, that many persons look forward to the coming current periodicals with an interest akin to real pleasure. , That every legitimate means to hold public interest is being üßed by agents whose business it is to write advertising, is evident in the attractive, well-written and competent styles being used today. Nothing seems to have escaped them. They have studied human nature at close range and from every angle, have delved into psychology, have provided themselves with an elaborate vocabulary and are now appealing to curiosity to call attention to their wares. One wonders and is fairly startled at the prices paid for the pages of the periodicals and newspapers for advancing the sale of merchandise, yet that it pays cannot be questioned. The weekly or monthly visit of our favorite periodical is sure to contain some well known face or figure that the whole family has become familiar with and whose cheer radiates happiness. Pages “68 and 69”' douhtless caught the eyes of many men as well as women, for while it has been a tradition that woman's curiosity will carry her far yet it is safe to say that men too, wanted to see what pages “08 and 69” held for them. It may be that since advertising men and women, those who live by their ability to attract a reading pnblie. have found, that truth in advertising pays and have organized themselves into a great International body for the advancement of their customers’ interests, that we shall still see greater strides made in this endeavor to enlist the world's interest in a given product.

At twelve he was filling books with sketches of flow era and clumps of trees in the Suffolk lanes and woods. He shov>d so much talent that 'the family decided to send him to London to study painting. The occasion of tjie first portrait he painted was very romantic. He was working on a landscape when a young lady . came unexpectedly upon him. He Immediately began to transfer her to his can vas. This took some time—long enough for painter and model to fall in love. When he was nineteen he married her. His work became so much the rage that his/friends jovially punned upon his name and dubbed bis bouse "Gain’s Borough.” Though he disagreed with Reynolds and Others of his famous contemporaries, they all saluted him as a brilliant man antfß great painter.—February Designer.

HOLDS MANY PLACES OF HONOR

DR. ADAH McMAHAN.

BY JULIA C. HENDERSON. Dr. Adah McMahan of Lafayette, a member of the State board of health through appointment by Governor McCray, will preside at tomorrow's session of the women's conference of the public health Institute being held at Hotel Lincoln. * Dr. McMahan is well known in mcdica! circles throughout the State and most favorably known for her activities in work among women. She was one of the first directors in the work of the Woman's Franchise League and remained a loyal member throughout the struggle for the ballot in Indiana. During the war period, Dr. McMahan was sent overseas by the American Woman's Overseas Hospital Association, which was organized by the Na-

Judicious Tipping Relieves Journey of Disagreeable Bumps Katherine Wood believes in tipping Judiciously as a step along the path of least resistance. In the March Designer she writes : "You like to travel or else you dislike to travel. Putting out of the question love of excitement, the adventurous spirit, the zest for new scenes, all of which enter In. the reason for your taste cr distaste may really lie in your attitude toward some of what you may hare called inconsequential details. “Do you know how to relinquish your heavy suitcase, your hat-box. your coat and umbrella and that bulky bundle to a red-cap? Whether you have a chair or not the porter will take you the shortest and easiest way to your train and you'll avoid all that craning and straining to see where your train starts. He'll find you s seat in a day-coach and dispose of your parcels for you. so that you neither have to wrench your own arm out or rely on the chivalry of a chance fellow passenger. Yes. he expects a tip. but a quarter is little enough to pay for having the brambles pulled out of your path." YOUR WINTER PORCH Even in the tiny "all-in-a-row” porchrooms of stereotyped houses one should strive for a certain measure of originality and avoid the cheap and trite wicker lamps, the cheapest porch sets, says the Febraury Designer, in an article on the porch in winter. One can at least choose a table-bench, which can be bought unfinished in a department of kitchen furnishings. two ladderback chairs, an hourglass and a fine Windsor chair, and point them all a soft midnight blue. Use a candlestick-base lamp with a vellum shade. Put. at tho paned sashes curtains of changeable blue and green sunfast, that marvelous tone of pale peacock of which one never wearies. For hangings of porch-rooms this changeable peacock color, old-gold, rose, rose red and oldblue are perhaps the most decorative when considered from outside the house.

Piles of Clothing Doesn't Mean That Yoil'll Keep Warm You can bundle up like a Jelly-roll and still be as chilly as an Ice-cream cone, on the other hand, wrapped in a few garments wisely chosen and rightly plaepd, you are as warm as soup in a thermos bottle. The human body is a fine furnace in itself. Well stoked and in good order it gives off heat like a red-hot coal stove in a country railroad station on a winter day. The trouble is that it does give the heat off. We need to dress so os to kep that beat in and get some benefit from it. Any one who can keep warm aura of her own heat inside her outside* coat will forget to look at the thermometer on a zero day. Especially Is this important to those who go in for winter sports. One needs not innny farments but the right ones. Next the skin wear a loosewoven woolen shirt. Tho open spaces between the stitches are little cells to hold the heat. One’s other garments should be loove-woven wool like flannel, tweed or wool dress fabrics. Knitted goods are excellent. Outside al! comes some sort of a closely woven garment that acts as a wind-break khaki, leather or any kind of a firm, light-weight coat. —February Designer. CREAM PIE.

BY AGNES AYRES. Star in Paramount Pictures. There is no end to the varieties of ileeves. The major part, if not all of (he trimming on this season's frock Is found sleeves and skirt and, while ihe Parisian edict for evening is "no sleeves,” there is an occasional brave frock that dares to wear them. The middle sleeve in the sketch is an evening sleeve. Made for a distinguished dress of black velvet, the fabric much favored for formal wear, this sleeve Is long snd dignified, coming well over the shoulder. Above Is a still more interesting sleeve also after an old model. It Is of chiffon :loth to match the frock In color, very full and long. a band of embroidery .'fitches In the fullness between elbow and shoulder, making tile chiffon Into an entrancing little puff above. The lower part of the sleeve falls very loose ano graceful, caught up underneath by a snug band nt the wrist. This la u dinner frock sleeve. Last and oddest of all is a fitted sleeve, caught under the arm with a line of huge sequins, from which sways a deep fringe of ribbons. The hack if the sleeve fails in a full and graceful arm cape. Many of the caped model*, frocks or suits, for street wear have employed this same intriguing tuck, although this sleeve was taken from an evening model. Perhaps the most interesting, though hot the newest, sleeves are those taken from the peasant costumes of Europe, They are so heavily embroidered or beaded (hat even when rn. de of the same material they give a distinct note of color contrast to the gown.

Kill or Cure By Ralph Cummins

THE STORY TO DATE. Ethel Snlveley, spoiled daughter of Bedrock Snlveley, retired miner, elopes with Carter Uayenul, a dissolute young man. In a wild ride over the mountains toward a California town where they expect to be married, their 1 automobile breaks down and their plans are thwarted. The accident occurring in an out-of-the-way place, Ravenal is helpless. Not many pass that way and no aid is in sight. A mountaineer by the name of Snell, lives near the scene. Snell takes the elopers into his cabin for the night and In the meantime discovers the plans of the pair and resolves t rescue Ethel from her impending danger. The following morning, Snell loads tip his puck mules, drives Ravenal from the cabin and forces Ethel to ride on mule back on u Song jonrney over the mountains to Devil’s Hole, line they halt at another cabin and Et tel finds that they nre shut In for the winter. She is puzzled. In order to assure Iter protection, Snell gives her a •ctolver with which to defend herself. If necessary. She decides to make herself useful as a housekeeper Eventually she becomes used to mountain life and learns to hunt, hiking long tramps with Snell. Take up the narrative here. CHARTER IX—Continued In a daze that was rapidly being'swept aside by her anger, Ethel made her way to the cottage. It wns unoccupied, but a look through the windows showed that the place was well furnished. Then something of the city atmosphere within spoke to the girl "It's only a summer camp," she moaned. "There's nobody lives here after all." She went out through the picket pate and examined the road. There were tire tracks that she was sure bad been made .since the Just heavy rain. An idea whipped Ethel to action. If automobiles had traveled that road recently, they would do so again. She would leave a note and Full of her great plan she fought the wind back to the house. A rear door was unlocked and she entered. In the 1 rough* board desk in the front room she found paper am! a pencil. The note she wrote was characteristic. I am a prisoner in a cabin near the big slide. Help! ETHEL SNTVELEY. With her mind quickening, she hunted tip an empty tomato can in the kitchen and placed her note inside it. CHAPTER X. Having placed the paper in the can. Ethel next went outside dragged a big I ost across the road and tied the can to it. With a grim sense of e’ation that somehow fail'd entirely to satisfy, -die stumbled Into the ah lt.-r of the timber and started the homeward struggle. Some inherited Instinct for direction, together with Snell's lectures on mountain craft, saved her from becoming lest, she reached the stream that ran down the valley. She knew thin the smaller creek from the cabin ran into it. That little creek must be above. It was. She came to its mouth and followed it to the clearing. At the edge of the timber she paused a little doubtfully and looked at the cabin. It was late in the afternoon. Snell had probably returned. How should she. treat him In view of her possible rescue? Why, she would not Ft him suspect that she had discovered his deception. It might be days or even weeks before any one traveled that road inti In the meantime she must have shelter. But she was depressed by something altogether different from the blue anger

of the morning. As she crossed to the cabin, she wondered a little at the absence of the fierde Joy that she should feel at the hope of escape. Then she threw open the kitchen door. It was just as she had left it. The dirty dishes still cluttered the table. Snell had not returned. Mechanically she kindled a fire in the Sheet-iron stove, and put on water to heat. Then she set about the housework that she had left undone In her angry flight of the morning. Night came almost at once. The wind still roared 'up the valley in tornado gusts that brought to the girl the distant crash of falling trees. Ethel, now quite proficient as a cook, prepared a supper of fried venison and biscuits. She tried to make herself believe that she did not care if Snell never returned. But with the very next flash of thought she was assuring herself that upon two previous occasions Snell had not returned from his tramps until after dark. She waited for a while after supper was ready, then she ate with ahunger Induced by a strenuous day. Later she carefully placed Snell's supper on the stove where it would keep warm, washed the dishes and swept the kitchen. For a long time she sat in the kitchen, growing more nervous as the hours passed and the howling storm showed no signs of abating. At last, more for something to do than with the thought of attempting sleep, she went into her room, built a fire and turned to her bed with tfco idea of arranging her bedding. But at the bedside she stopped dead, fzozen with a discovery that drove away all else. ITer two white blankets were gone! She stared at the bed for a moment, then turned to a hurried search of the room. But she knew that she had not removed the blankets. With new, strangely unreal sensations. Ethel walked slowly to the fire and sat down. Snell had returned. He had found her gone, while the mountain blizzard raged outside. She choked back a sob and burled her face in her hands. He had not even waited to eat, but had caught up the blankets and started out to huutefor her. CHAPTER XI. It was n night of horror for Ethel Snlvely. Her thoughts, driven inward with a merciless searching that was entirely new in her selfish experience, became a nightmare of self-reproach. What a fool she had been to leave the cabin—and why had she not left a note? She was crazy to think of bringing in a rescuing party. Why, those mountaineers were Just wild enough to lynch Snell, without a question. (To Be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. ; As soon as Puss Junior and Tom Thumb had knocked upon the front door of the pretty little cottage it was opened by a little yellow hen, who bowed and invited them in. By the light of the big open fire Puss Junior could see a little old man sitting at the farther end of the room. He was eating his supper, but on hearing the door open asked in a -thick, cracked voice, "Who Is It?” "l’uss In Boots Junior and Tom Thumb Esq.,’’ replied our two small travelers. And then the little h> u led them over to the table and said: j “Grandfather, you see before you two famous characters.” "Sit down, my friends, and sup with i me,” said the little old man. and as this , was Just what Puss and Tom most deJ sired at that moment they did as they were bid and presently they were enjoyInga most delicious meal. Pretty soon the little old man said: "I have a little hen, the prettiest ever seen; She washes me the dishes and keeps the house clean; | She goes to the mill to fetch me some flour. She brings it home in less than an hour: She bakes me my bread, she brews me my ale. She sits by the fire and tells many a line tale.” "What kind of stories does she tell?” asked Tom Thumb, crossing his small legs and gazing into the fire, for he felt very comfortable Just then, with a line supper under his waistcoat. "Well, one of her stories,” said the little old man. drawing his chair up to the fire and sitting down between Puss Junior and Tom Thumb, “is about the giant and the beanstalk.. She’s the little hen that laid the golden eggs for the giant, you know.” And when he heard this Puss Junior jumped to h!s feet and ran ovpr to the little hen, who was busy clearing the supper table. “Don't you remember me?" j : he said. And the little ben replied. “Os course j I do. I have never forgotten what you did for me nt the giant’s house.” “And I shan't forget how you met me at the top of the beanstalk and showed I > me the way to his caslle." replied Puss. "Come, come," cried the little old man, I “leave the supper dishes, you two. Come over to the fire and let us hear Puss Junior tell the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.” So they all sat down and waited for Puss to commence. And next time you shall hear what Puss told them.—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.)

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given Daily in Times. fThe Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited ii-come. 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. Hcoper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of iheir home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living wiih them.] MONDAY. Mr. and Mrs. Hooper put in the greater part of yesterday talking over their Plans for furnishing the new house. Afte#" deciding to take it on Saturday afternoon- they had gone downtown immediately to the real estate agent's office, s.gned a lease for a year, with the option of taking it again for another year at the same price. They paid the first month's rent in advance, and as Mrs. Hooper looked at the receipt and put the lease in her handbag, she felt really more content than she had been since her arrival In Indianapolis. Yesterday morning, after church, they had all gone to have another look at the place and Mrs. Hooper was more pleased than she had been even at her first examination of the house. “I can see a good many possibilities in this house that I failed to find la any of the others I looked at,” she had said, “but it will be a long time before it will fiook anything like our home at Mayfield.” "Oh, I don’t believe It,” said Henry cheerfully. "You will do wonders with it in no time, and you will have a chance to develop a lot of your theories as to how to make a house a practical workshop along different lines from those you used when you were making the old house at Mayfield into a ‘home.’ ” “I know it," agreed Mrs. Hooper, laughing. "The Mayfield house was beginning to feel jo kind of that when I suggested plans for Improvement for Mrs. Campbell's house or pointed out to any of the club women in our economic section that they might revolutionize their housekeeping methods by a few simple changes in the arrangement of their rooms I used to sometimes wish I could go home and try it in my own house, which wouldn’t be sensible, because I already had a perfectly good idea worked out there long ago.” "I haven't the least doubt that you will be so busy and excited for the next six months making this place into your ideal of a home that you won't have time to be lonesome or miss ifhyfleid at all,” remarked Henry.

“Well, I certainly hope so,” was all j Mrs. Hooper ha 1 said as she looked apI praisingly abou. the rooms on the ground floor that see ned like bottomless pits when it came to filling them with furniture. “We might as well go home and talk It over," she suggested fiually. “The children want their dinner and it will need a good deal of consideration before we buy a single stick of furniture.” "Well, you have from now until next Saturday to buy your things and have them sent home," said Henry. “I'll certainly need it,” answered Mrs. Hooper grimly, "because it will be no easy matter to buy enough furniture Just 1 to get along with and not spend more money than I’m really willing to invest.” "Well, I intend to leave that entirely l to you, Mary," smiled Henry as he followed Mrs. Hooper from the kitchen out ; into the front hall. "Before we go, Roger," said his mother. “I wish you’d make a little sketch of these rooms on a piece of paper. It will be so much easier than to try to remember after we get home, Just what spaces have to be filled.” After dinner was over Mr. snd Mrs. Hooper sat for a long time talking of their plans for furnishfng the house and the decision had finally been to buy just what they couldn't get along without at first and then eaeh week add something to their household equipment. Roger had made a larger and neater plan of all the rooms while his mother and father were discussing finances and after supper they had all gathered around the table in the crowded little diningroom and furnished the house on paper. “Tho kitchen, dining-room and bedrooms must be attended to first.” said Mrs. Hooper, "and I don't want to lose any time getting those things sent up to the house and arranged.” “As soon as yon get the beds np," said Henry. “I think Roger and I will go over there and spend the nights until you and Helen and Betty are ready to come over, then I can have our Mayfield things sent right over from the storehouse and we can unpack them at once." The menus for the three meals on Tuesday are: BREAKFAST. Stewed Prunes. Cereal Broiled Bacon French Toast Coffee. LUNCHEON. Vegetable Chowder Toasted Crackers Cold Meat Bread and Butter Cake Coco* DINNER Cream of Tomato Soup Stuffed Baked Haddock Canned Spinach Fruit Salad Chocolate Layer Cake

Notes of Interest to Women

C. C. Carstens of New York, director of the Child Welfare League of America, states that prohibition has so decreased the number of dependent babies by Improving conditions in the lower class homes that there are not enough babies to go around among those who wist them for adoption. D. W. Griffith, motion picture producer, avers that the public is nauseated with pretty faces. They are demanding more talent, personality and experience, he says. The Illinois Woman’s Press Association is attempting to acquaint the public with Illinois authors and their works and to g ve them due recognition, that they may remain a part of Illinois and not depart for Eastern llelds as many of them have done. Miss Mercia E. lloagland of Indianapolis, chairman of personnel research work in the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs, has an able article In the Independent Woman of February regarding research work done by her committee.
