IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Suppression of All Evil Might Eitect Result Consumers’ League Wishes Less Space Devoted, to Neves of Crime. BY JULIA C. HENDERSON. It is a fact that from the beginning of newspaper publication there have been those who felt as if they knew better bow to run a paper than those who were doing the actual work. and. too, that they could give to the reading public something that was worth while. The Consumers' league is now In a campaign to reduce th<j amount of space given to crime in the daily press of the country. It is asking, “Why stimulate criminals by suggestion? What does crime cost? Why not economize on crime?” and other timely o.uestions. The league Is enlisting the aid of great national organizations of both men and women by asking them to pass itgolutlons addressed to the press urging that less space und fewer headlines be devoted to crime and criminals. Such a resolution was presented and adopted by the board of directors of the General Federation of Women’s Club at the January meeting held in Chicago. The board heartily approved the movement and pledged cooperation. There are doubtless others who will follow the lead of the federaMon. but with what results? The press agencies of the country are ever considering what the public wants and are giving earnest consideration to the very things brought out by the Consumers' League The newspapers of the country are. from a business standpoint, listening to the demands of the reading public. It is the individual that must be educated out of the desire to read of crime In all of Its horrors and disgusting proceedings. Just so long as the paper which writes its headlines to attract the public finds that crime attracts the reader, Just that long must the reading public expect a continuance of it. The campaign then should be with the people and not with the press. When papers loaded down with crime news, as many of them are today, fail to sell then will the change come and come quickly. The great organizations of the country are endeavoring to build a better citizenry in many ways and their efforts have met with a success in most Instances which cannot be denied, but the effort along this line will be futile", we fear. They have put the cart before the horse and should right about face in this matter.

Mr. and Mrs. John Liojd Elliott, 3232 North Illinois street, have gone to New York for a brief stay. They will spend a few days in Pittsburgh before returning home.

THIMBLE! THIMBLE! By CONSTANCE CORNWALL

Lawrence Tilton, finccfttfMfu] young Lawyer, and fuardian of the estate of Diana, Richmond and her brother Tom, had entertained a hope that lie might make Diana fain wife. But with the nhifting of cenes, Diana benonwu the wife of Lord llaniater and goes to live In England. On the I death of her huabnnd, Lady B&nlater j returns to America, secretly bringing with her the Earl of Hard*aster's family jewels, which she believed had 1 -n given to her by lier husband. A woman, supposed to be ti'e widow of the Earl of Ilardcaster. lays claim to the Jewed*, and a scandal Is imminent. I.adyr Itanlster places her case In the hand?* of Lawrence Tilton and a battle for xiossension ensues. CHAPTERIL Tilton’s eyes were riveted on the door when it opened to admit Ms vt.lfor, “Handsomer than ever,” was his Inward comment. Aloud, he said, advancing to meet her with outstretched hand, “How do you do. Lady Banister?” The smile that hovered on the lips of the visitor when she entered tho room disappeared; something uncommonly like a pout took Its place. “How do you, Mr. Tilton?” she said with mocking emphasis on his name, faking the only chair In sight which he ha 1 purposely drawn close to his own before she came in. "Yon needn't call mo that,” ho said In injured tones. “And you needn’t have called me what you did,” she defended. “I haven’t done anything to you.” “Well, good morning, Diana,” he said sedately. "Is that bettor?” h* asked. In a still mHdr tone. “It’s almost worse." she declared with a puzzled glance. “Do yon know, Larry, that ever since T came home the whole family has called me Diana. It's Just horrid. It’s almost worse than Lady B. a* Tom starred to call me Why doesn’t every one call me Dl, as they used to?” “Don’t you like yonr title?” he asked, noticing with Joy how easily his own came has slipped from her tongue. He fairly beamed with pleasure, although he wondered why an American girl should marry a title if she didn’t want to be called My Lady every time she was addressed, “Os course I like it, but my own family are not supposed to call me Lady Banister, you foolish old Larry." "Rut, Di. I'm not your family, nor any member of it,” he corrected her. “Not even the most distant relationship exists between ns." She looked at him in ntter amasement, striFghfened in her chair, and began to put on her gloves, which she had removed. “Do yon deny that yon are nay guardian? That you consented to my marriage with Lord Banister; that yon have charge of my affairs and that T have always come to yon for everything I have ever htfd ? Haven’t I come to you this morning to seitlo this miserable Jewel business? Is there any one else in N>w York I would hare gone to? Relation, lr.deod Isn’t that relationship?’’ She spoke sharply, but Tilton faneied that she was more nervous than angry. “What yon say is quite true, exeept that I consent'd to your marriage with Lord Banister,” he said "My consent was not asked: 1 was told that you wr going to marry him: all I was asked to do was to draw up the settlement papers But that is not to the point, Di Your happiness has always been the object of my life. If that Is secured, nothing else matters. T merely wanted to disabuse your mind of any blood relationship between us." "Then why should you object to belonging to our family?” she queried. Tilton reddened, but to cover his confusion he spoke coolly. ”1 didn’t say that I objected to belonging to your family. I merely re- j minded you that wo are, not related,” to; said. Dl stood up sud confronted him, fnTly an inch taller than when she came in Her lips were set angrily, and her eyes flashed scorn. "I think I understand you. at last. Mr Tilton.” she said disdainfully. "You have read that miserable drivel”—pontlng to the pile of newspapers—"and digested every word of It, and you are ashamed of any connection with my fain lly, I will see that mother releases yon from tho responsibilities of guardian- j ship, in tho meantime I will take my ; business to a lawyer who is less son- j sitlve about his client's family connec- j tlons ” Tilton was dazed, and for a second or j two speechless, but he followed her across I the room and reached tho door first. Then he turned around and faced her, his back to the door. Asa lawyer who knew so well how to plead his case, Tilton most have known his business, but to a casual by standor his pleading must have sounded simple, to say tho least. “Don’t call me Mr. Tilton, Dl. I can’t stand It,” he said reproachfully. “Call j me Larry or Larryklns, as you nsed to. | although I don’t approve of pet names j after a man’s grown up; still If you j want to call me Fido I'll answer to It. But please don’t call me Mister. Come back and sit down and let me explain how you hnva misunderstood me.” She refused at once to return to her seat, but she relaxed somewhat and listened to his entreaties for forgiveness. Then he reviewed the last five years ; since her marriage. He told her how j

, keenly her friends had felt the loss when she decided to make her home In England; and how ardently they had all worked to win the war, always thinking of her He touched upon her husband's death In action and his om heartfelt sympathy for her. He reminded her of 'the agony ler friends had endured while she wag nursing In France, and during her consequent Illness, i, He told her that whatever the outcome of the wretched business which had brought her there that day might be she was the same Dl to them that she had been yesterday, today, and forever. When he finished speaking Di was crying softly Into her handkerchief. Tilton led her unresistingly back to the chair near his own. He looked serious, but hJs heart was thumping for Joy. Ho made no attempt to conceal from himself that he welcomed any kind of trouble that brought I>l to him for assistance. He had tried to keep the personal note ; from his talk with her, and always ro- : ferred to her friends. Whether or not he had succeeded time alone could tell. He had loved her ever since he had put on long trousers to act as godfather at her christening. He had watched her growth and development as a botanist studies the unfolding petals of a rare orchid. Every year of her life he had discovered new charms in the already lovely girl. At first be used to coun f tho years that must elanee before he could ask her to he his wife. Sometimes he thought that IS was the age when a girl Is most susceptible to love, but as the 1 time drew near he became nervous. Her eighteenth birthday passed, and TUton thought with some misgivings, to be sure, of approaching Dl s mother. "Dl should make a good match,” she had told Tilton one day. "She Is very beautiful. If I do have to say It myself,” she added reproachfully, as Tilton had not responded readily. “And she has brains, too,’’ she went on. “The people who pick her out at parties, I notice, are all Intellectual.” “The fact Is Indisputable,” Larry had said gloomily. This the good woman had put down to too much dinner, or at least some form of indigestion. At another time when the occasion seemed favorable he had asked Mrs. Richmond at what age she thought Dl should marry To his surprise he found that the practical mother had worked out the subject quits thoroughly to her own satisfaction “If a particularly good offer cam# to Dl at 19 I sh <.i<j be willing for her to accept it at once,” she said laconically. “But if *ho should Insist upon marrying someone that I don’t exactly approve of 1 should strongly recommend a long engagement.’’ “So that she could break It if a tetter offer com* later?” Imttj quizsed. (To Be Continued.) PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. 1 “Tho cock’s on the housetop blowing hia horn; The bull s in the barn a-threshlng of corn; The maids in the meadow* are making of hay. The ducks In the river are swimming away.” This is the Mother Goose melody that Pass Junior sang as he Jumped ont of bed. The sun shone brightly on the floor, and Pusa leaned over and picked uj. a pin, saying today my fortune will begin, for 1 have found a sliver pin! Well, before long he and Tom Thumb were dressed, and wnen they cam* downstairs the little yellow nen had tbs breakfast table already set; the kettle was boiling away and singing a song; from the oven came the odor of hot biscuit, and the bacon la the pan frizzled and sizzled. The little old man came In with a big red rose, which he put In a vase and placed on the table. And after the coffee was made, they all sat down, and you can well believe the food tasted mighty good. The little yellow hen was a fine cook, and as every one had a flue appetite, breakfast was soon over. “And now, tny pretty little hen,” said Puss Juuior, giving his scabbord a slap with his paw, “I must be off upon my Journey of adventure. We shall miss your stories.” said the little old man, giving bis hand to Puss. And then he turned to Tom Thumb and said: “We may meet again; always remember that tho little old man and the little yellow hen will always be happy to see you both again.” And after that Tom Jumped nimbly on Puss Junior's shoulder and our two small travelers once more set out upon their Journey. And by and by, as they went through the forest they came to a hut of rough logs. It looked deserted but Puss Junior was careful not to push open the door. Instead, he peeped through a crack. And It vos mighty well he did. for inside the one largo room stood a fierce black dragon. His eves were like coals of Are and his great wide open mouth was like a fiery furnace. Puss took Just one look and then picking up Tom Thumb, put him in his pocket and ran swiftly away. And after a while Puss whispered to Tom, "If I enn And St. George, I'll tell him about this flerco dragon. He’ll be glad to have a cbanco to kill another dragon!” And next time I'll tell you what happened after that. —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. (The Hoopers, aa average American family of five, firing in a suburban town, on a limited lLcome, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working oa the budget that Mrs. Hooper hia evolved and found practical. Follow them dally in an interesting review of i heir home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high coat at living with them.] MONDAY. “I tell you It seems good to be starting to work again from your own homo,” said Henry as he put on hia hat and overcoat in tbo front hall after he had finished his breakfast. “Well, It will be a long time DefoTS it will feel like home to me,” said Mrs. Hooper glumly looking abont the bare front rooms and the empty hall and Into the dining-room that looked far from cosy with lta table and chair* and nothing rise. “It Isn’t a matter of furnitore,” answered Henry cheerily, “lfa Just tha feeling of having one's own roof over his head again.” "Oh, I don’t known.” aighed Mrs. Hooper, It looks a little hopeless at times. I've really spent a good deal of money for these few sticks of furniture and yet It Isn't a drop in the bucket when you look at these room*.” “Oh. Mary," laughed Mr. Hooper aa he opened the front door. “I Just wish soma of your Mayfield clubwomen conld hear you now. Don’t you remember how you used to stand up and tell them how easy It was for them to turn their topsy turvy homes Into the smooth running machine your house was? Xoa are up against tha same proposition yourself now.” “What proposition?” asked Mrs. Hooper, following him to close the door when he went out. “Why of making a duplicate of yonr Mayfield home out of nothing," said Henry soberly. “That’a practically what you were advising your clubwomen to do.” “Oh I know It,” answered Mrs. Hooper laughing in her turn, “and when I remember how I used to criticise poor Mr* Briggs because she always seemed la such a hopeless state of mind I feel like going right back and apologizing to her." “Oh yen'll be all right Mary at soon aa you once get started to settle ehings,” said Mr. Hooper consolingly. "We were in a terrible rut In Mayfield. I realize it !f you don't. I had a hard time myself adjusting to my new office and the different way they have of doing thinga in Indianapolis from what I’d ever been used to before. The shaking up was good for us all,’’ he concluded as be started •down stairs. “Even Roger and Helen have the same problem at school that we have and we will all come out of it much more efficient than If we had plodded on In Mayfield with nothing to disturb our comfort.’ “Oh I’ll come to yonr way of thinking in time Henry." said Mrs. Hooper as she waved good bye to him, "and Helen and Roger already feel es you do about deserting poor old Mayfield.” Mrs. Hooper spent the morning putting the bedrooms in order so that their sleeping quarters would bo comfortable Her own bedroom was a very pleasant one extending across the front of the house and she planned to make it attractive in time. For tho present It had only the metal bedstead with a strong spring and a good quality of mattress and two feather pillows, a white enamel dresser which she intended later to paint some other color, a long pine table vrer which she expected later to put a mirror and make Into a dressing table for herself so that Henry could use the top of the dresser. There was a little bedside table and three chairs. In one of the trunks that she had unpacked she found plenty of muslin and net curtain# that would do for a time. Reger had promised to put the rods up for her when he came from school so that she would get them up at once. An Inexpensive rug in front of the bed completed the furnishings. It did indeed look bare and unlvitlng to Mrs. Hooper as she recalled her cosy bedroom at home with its old mahogany bed and dresser. Its brass candlesticks and pretty tables and chairs. ”1 suppose I ought to remember that I was years accumulating all those things,” said Mrs. Hooper to herself,” and then be sensible about this.” The mepu for the three meals on Tuesday are: BREAKFAST.
