IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Hoosier Club Women to Aid Buying Home National Federation Plans New Headquarters in Washington. BY JULIA C. HENDERSON’. Indiana women are to have a part In the purchase of the new headquarters of the Genera] Federation of Women’s Club's In Washington If the plans of Miss Viaa Newsom, general federation director for Indiana, carry, and Judging from Mist: Newsom's activities in the past and the directness with which she puts a project through it is quite certain she will not let Indiana fail in this. The establishment of permanent headquarters in Washington, D. C., which has been a dream of club women for years, was brought to a focus at the biennial meeting of the Federation held in Des Moines in 1920, when a resolution was adopted calling for a suitable headquarters at Washington. Purs • .nt to this resolution the board of directors meeting in Chicago, Jan. 4-3 of this year, created a headquarters committee with power to carry out the purchase and raise the funds. The purchase has been made by the committee, and the residence at 1734 N street, built by Gen, Nelson A. Miles, is now to be the mecca of club women from all over the country, as well as a meeting place for women of other nations who are established in Washington or who may come there for any purpose. In fact, it has been designated as headquarters for research, legislative, distribution, conference, and all international affairs. The house is described as being beautiful and unusual in architecture and will meet the present needs of the federation in a splendid way. Beside the usual rooms on the main floor, including a white paneled dining-room and a reception hall with a large fire place there is a library and a long lounge probably sixty feet in length. Above, there are sixteen bedrooms, six baths, and a court which can probably be rented for a studio. It is exposed that the rental from those rooms will help very materially in meeting overhead expenses. The campaign for funds for Indiana’s part in the home is now on. Miss Newsom reports that every one who learns of the house and the plans for its use are most enthusiastic over the project. She is optimistic as to the response from the club women of Indiana, when they are made fully aware of the value of the headquarter's home. It is not proposed to levy assessments or lay quotas on clubs or States, but to ask for voluntary gifts. Miss Newsom is earnestly hoping that there will be many individual donations. Indiana starts with a S3OO donation, SIOO each being given by Miss Newsom, Mrs. S. E. I’erkins and Mrs. Edward Franklin White. With this start, and with the general appeal which Miss Newsom is making through every avenue of approach to club women, Indiana should go to the biennial in June with a handsome sum to her credit in this laudable endeavor of the General Federation to establish a home commensurate with the dignity of the organization and as representative of the 2,000,000 club women of the Nation. Miss Newsom together with her appeal for funds for the new home is urg ing the clubs of the Stare not yet affiliated with the General Federation to become affiliated as early as is possible. She has taken as her slogan and aim “Every club in the State Federation a member of the General Federation’’ before April 1.

WOMEN’S CLUBS BUY HOME OF GENERAL MILES General Federation Acquires Central Clubhouse at Washington. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON., Feb. 23.—With the purchase of the residence at 1731 N street built by Gen. Nelson A. Miles a central [ clubhouse oppn to two million of its members in the United States bas been acquired by the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Commensurate with the Influence of that body, the bouse chosen Is one of unusual dignity and .beauty located In the smart residential section, but in the immediate vicinity of the British embassy. the National Education Association and the National Geographic Society. It has a large reception hall, drawingroom. lounge and library all to be thrown open together as desired; a library, sixteen bedrooms, six bathrooms and a studio all in perfect order and of superior construction. In the neat back yard is a garage which the federation is considering taking on for a tearoom. The club will house all administrative activities of the federation dow carried on in an office building and provide sleeping rooms for visiting club women. The purchase price is $70,000 unfurnished, but the headquarters committee believes there should be a maintenance fund, the interest of which should cover a part of the overhead expense. PURCHASE ENDS LONG SEARCH. Under the generalship of Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, president of the Federation, who still is staying In Washington, though the advisory committee of the conference, of which she was a member, is disbanded, the national capital haß been combed for a suitable headquarters house. Decision to acquire such an establishment was unanimously voted by the present board members, representing twentyfour States, who attended the recent board meeting in Chicago. It is the fulfillment of a resolution adopted at Des Moines calling for suitable headquarters at Washington. The headquarters committee comprises Mrs. Winter, chairman ; Mrs. W. S. Jennings of Florida, Mrs. J. R. Shermerhorn of New Jersey, Mrs. Robert J. Burdettte, California; Mrs. J. W. Watsek, liwa; Mrs. George Minot Baker, Massachusetts; Mrs. Florence Dibert, Pennsylvania; Miss Helen Norris Cummings, i Virginia; Mrs. Eugene I.awson, Oklahoma; Mrs. W. T. Ferhnm, Montana; Mss. It. F. Saunders. Mississippi; Miss Lillian Williamson, District of Columbia. HARDING APPROVES “CITIZENSHIP DAY." I In a tetter addressed to Mrs. Percy V. Pennypaeker, chairman of the Department [of American Citizenship, President Har- ! ding heartily approved of the Federated Clubs' program of celebrating July 4 as “Citizenship day.” The purpose is to make the Nation’s birthday the occasion on which to welcome to the duties and obligations of citizenship those young men and women who have come of age within the preceding twelve months and those of foreign birth who have acquired their citizenship papers in that time. Last year three hundred clubs held community celebrations of this kind. It is expected several thousand communities will hold similar observances next Fourth of July. Those working women represented in the various branches of the National Women's Trade Union League are becoming more and more excited over the proposed “equal rights" bills being urged by the National Woman’s party. They not only object to the Federal amendment, but they oppose the corresponding blanket legislation now being pushed In nine Stato Legislatures. The opposition is based on fear the proective laws for women in Industries will be jeopardized. Therefore, a call has gone from headquarters of the National Trade Union League calling a conference to last al' day Sunday, Feb. 23. On the preceding day the legislative committee and executive board of the N. W. T. U. L. will meet. The scope of this organization is shown by Its officers: Mrs. Raymond Robins, Chicago, president; Miss Rose Schneidermann of the Cap Makers’ Union

She has been studying for several years with Frederick Morley in Louisville, and al > studied with George Copeland in Boston for some time. Miss Mason is a virile, vivid pianist. Her technique is finished, her coloring and sympathetic interpretation reveal delightful artistry. In the Cadman sonata In A major, which was her first number, she brought out the character of the composition with its rather weird harmonies with clear effectiveness. Her closing group included MaoDowell's “Valse Trlste,” the “Little Dancer" (Carpenter), “The White Peacock” (Griffis), "The Banjo Picker” (Powell), and as an extra she played Moszknwskl's “Guitar,” all of which were played In pleasing fashion.

T hi/able! Thimblei By CONSTANCE CORNWALL

Diana Richmond, while visiting an aunt in London, becomes the wife of Lord Banister, who is later killed in one of the battles of the World War. After an absence of live years, she returns to America, bringing with her, the Hardcaster family jewels, which she believed had been given her by her late husband. A Spanish woman, alleged widow of the Earl of Hardcaster, lays claim to the Jewels and tlireatens Diana with exposure and arrest. Fretted over the situation, Diana, carries her troubles to Lawrence Tilton, successful young lawyer, formerly her guardian and admirer. A scramble ensues lor the possession of the jewels, in which many complications arise. CHAPTER IV—Continued “I didn't know that your late husband bad a brother," he faltered. “That shows how much interest you j have shown in my affairs,” she leased. “It wasn't lack of interest, Di. I’ll explain that later, but tell me about : your brother-in-law," he said seriously, i Here was complication with a ven--1 geance. j "He was the late Earl of Hardcaster,” Di began, “fifteen years older than my husband, and it was supposed that he would never marry because his fiancee was killed in an accident nnd he nearly died of grief. In fact, be told me so : himself. “He sent to the bank for the Jewels tin* day before I was presented at court, j While he was putting them on me he ; said that as he himself never intended | to marry, the greatest tribute he could i | pay to his family heirlooms was to place them on my neck and brow. Those j were identically bis own words. It Isn't my fault if he changed his mind. Is it really, Larrykins?” “What does he say about the gems, now ?" queried the lawyer, puzzled be- j yond words. “He can't say anything,” Di said imperturbably. “He’s dead." . “Os course. I begin to see light,” Larry j ! said, with a cheerfulness he was far ! from feeling. the Spanish woman." “TheHlgbt you see comes from the : Are In my eye when I think of that woman," Di said Irritably. “in that rase I'm glad she’s In Spain, j I hope she will remain there," Tiiton said tartly. “Ob, but she’s not In Spain," DI Informed him. I “Do you know where she is?” j “To the best of my knowledge, she is i on the Atlantic, following me.” | “Hum. The plot thickens," Larry said, pretending to take some no’es. but really thinking quickly how he could say dis- : agreeable things to DI without offending her. “If the Spanish woman's husband was the late Earl of Hardcaster she would have prior claim to his values, but If the now Earl Is demanding them 1 see no reason why you should feel that you are giving up the gems to her." he said ' pacifically. “But you forget, Larry, the late Earl didn't give them to her." Di reminded him. “But he married her, Di. and ” “Yes, yes. I know whuf you are going 1 to say • • • according to law they belong to her. She is a horrid concert]: hall singer. She sang for the soldiers' nt Oallpoll. where tnv late brother-in-law was stationed. She hypnotized him Into marrying her. The poor man was on his <’ athbed. if you saw her Larry, j you woo'd never take sides with her." She Jerked out these sentences angrily. It was In vain that the lawyer tried to explain to her that he was not taking sides with the Spanish woman and that >e was Just looking the case fairly in , the face. She would not listen to him. "She is the kind of a woman who would bulldoze the gems from fh# old Earl.” Di went on rapidly. “Do you know, she actually boasted to me that six soldiers had asked to marry her I nursed in France for three years, until I got ill.” The anger died out of her voice and a sob rose In h*r throat. “I have wntcln and with many dying soldiers. Some poor boys passed away in my arms, and some died shortly after 1 bad left them, hut none of I hem ever wanted to marry fie A woman who talks ns she does is impossible, and you will say so when you sei* her," she concluded. Uarrv has listened patiently to her irregular reasoning, puzzling his brains to know how best ,to divert her mind from its present evasion of legal pro- . codure “I think yon are underestimating the acquisitiveness of the new Earl." be said Judicially. “A ma i who would cause such unpleasant publicity to a member el his family is not likely to relinquish the prize. 1 think "it is quite safe to turn the jewels over to him. He will knew how to protect them from a mercenary Spanish singer.” There was a far-away lock on T.adv Banister's face when Larry finished speaking. “I have an Inward conviction that the bite I’.irl Intended me to keep those gems, or he would not have given them to me," she said decisively. “He firmly ! Intended to remain a bachelor, and he believed that the family's destiny rested with me. The present Earl Is a distant ' cousin, quite old. and with very little of j the family blood In his veins. The title \ dies with him, nnd I have very good reason to believe that my brother-in- j law's wishes nre not unknown to him.” j “But he is distinctly unfriendly.” Larry argued “One's bitterest enemy could go no further to show it than he has ” “I don't believe that the Farl has had anything to do with it.” she replied, “and that is just what I want to explain to .

| you. I want you to get a denial of the ; whole thing from him, instead of from j me." ! “You mean that you are going to rej turn the jewels, and ask him to publicly - deny the story of your taking them from | England?” Larry asked in relieved tones. Di shook her head hopelessly. “No, no, you stupid Larrykins. You ! are obsessed with the idea of sending j back my wonderful treasure. It is im- ' possible. The Earl must deny the story, ' but I shall retain the jewels.” j “But how, Di? You will have to be ; more explicit. There is much to the | story that you have not told me. What does this wonderful treasure consist 01, and where has it been for the last five years, or since you wore It at court?" Larry asked. Di was neither mercenary nor vain, but when Larry asked about the jewels her heart swelled for a few moments with a sense of pride in the owneishlp of such a rare collection. “The valuables consist of wonderfuly fine diamonds and emeralds. There is nothing like them in the world. They can neither be matched nor duplicated. The value mentioned in the newspapers is purely imaginary, because they are priceless. The Earls of Hardcaster have taken centuries to collect them. 1 was the first woman who was not the wife of a reigning earl, to wear them. And they have been in my possessb n ever since. When I was In France I kept them In the safe of my London house,” she explained with admirable dignity. “Did no one oppose your keeping them before?” queried Larry. “Three days after 1 wore them at court my husband and his brother were j called to Join their regiments, and shortly after that war was declared. England had too much to think about | from them on to worry about family heirlooms.” CHAPTER V. “When I returned from France, long after my husband's and his brother's death, the now Earl was In possession of the Hardcaster estates, except my London home which was finally settled upon me ns long as I live.” % "And the new Earl," Larry said; “what about him ?’’ Tilton fancied he saw a slight Bmlla tremble around Dl’s mouth. “He is old. Is he not," he asked Jeal- ; ously, “I think you said he was very | old, didn't you, Di?” Now he was aimosr certain there was a roguish twinkle In her eye, which she as quickly concealed. “Yes. indeed, he is very, very old,” she said solemnly. “He is at least 40.” "Oh,” grunted Larry, “That's not old.” “M hile 1 was ill In London, the new Esrl was very kind to me. He called several times and brought me gifis. One was a dear little Pekinese dog." <To Be Continued.) PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. 1 By DAVID CORY. “Once upon a time,” began Puss Junior, seating himself beside Mrs. Peter Tumpkiu Eater, *‘l came to a “ery funny sort of a house. It was almost as queer as the one which Peter is making out of yonder pumpkin, the only difference being that this bouse was made out of an old shoe, and was crowded full of children, while yours, Mrs. Peter, will hold only you!” “Well, if Peter doesn’t make It large enough for two," replied little Mrs. Peter, “she'll And I'll fly away from the pumpkin cage. I’m n< a canary!" "The Shoe House I was just telling you about.” continued Puss Junior, “was owned by the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe; and slio had so many children she didn't know what to do. Why the shoe actually pinched, it was so crowded, and by (h>* t!m the Old Woman got the 'last child to bed it was time to take up the iirsl one for breakfast!" “Then there must have been one child always in bed," said little Tom Thumb, with a laugh. "I don’’ remember, exactly,” said Puss Junior, reflectively, “you see, it was some years ago, aud I've had so many adventures since then that my recollection is a little hazy. At any rate, I do remember playing tng with the children, and there were so many of them that after a while I had to climb a tree to avoid being squeezed to death. By and by they promised to let me alone, so I came down, and then the Old Woman brought out some very nice broth and we all had a feast." Just then Peter called out, “Pome over nnd see what I've done." So Mrs. Peter, with Puss and Tom. went over to the pumpkin. It certainly looked as though Peter knew something about building a 'louse, lie had hollowed out the inside of the pumpkin into four very nice rooms, and had made a little stairway leading up to the second floor. It was. In fact.! just like any small house, only that it j was made out of pumpkin Instead of : boards. Perhaps it was all the prettier for this I very reason, for the yellow color of the pumpkin mad ea pretty tint for the walls and ceiling, nnd as for the floors, they could be covered with a carpet If Peter ever earned enough money to pay for it. “All I need now is a chimney.” said Peter, “and then Mrs. Peter can choose i the furniture and other things!"

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given < Daily in i lines. (The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living In a suburban town, on a limited iLcome, 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 ha* 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.] THURSDAY. Mrs. Hooper intended to inauguate hei old-time schedule for work as soon at Possible and to resume her plan for doing t e same things on each day of tb week. There had been no ipportunitj yet to do'this and she felt that she wai living in a very haphazard fashion; although Roger and Henry had unpacked the washing machine aud installed it in its place in the laundry she had as yet done no regular washing. She decided to let it go over now until the regulai wash day on Tuesday, in spite of ths fact that soiled clothes were accumulating In larger quantities than she had remembered ever - having around before. She couldn't help realizing how very easy it was to get Into a thoroughly demoralized condition and not seem to be able to pull out of it and bring ordei out of chaos without the most extraordinary effort. She recalled how impatient she had been with Mrs. Campbell in her blundering efforts to run her house on a schedule and her Intolerance of Mrs. Briggs, who absolutely refused to ba bothered with routine or system in the matter of housework. It wasn’t so easy after all, as she was now learning when she found herself without all her well organized household equipment ond only the most meager substitutes to take their place.

in the old arrangement at Mayfield Thursday afternoon had been set aside for shopping and marketing because for many reasons It bad proved most convenient. The Ironing and putting away of the clothes that had been washed oa Tuesday always took the entire afternoon on Wednesday and Friday had been devoted to the meetings of the Woman’s dub, so that Thursday was the logical time for shopping. She decided to make It her marketing day in Indianapolis ; unless there should be some peculiar local reason why Friday would b e tho better day for this purpose. There would be no Woman's Club meeting here so there would be no reason why it couldn't be Friday if she should decide. The problem of taking Betty with her when she shopped presented Itself to to her again, but when she remembered her experience last week of coming home and finding her apparently lost she determined to take the child with her on every occasion that she went in town and keep a watchful eye on her as well. She never again wanted such a scare as the one she had lived through last Friday. Three or four streets away she found a very good neighborhood marketing center where the meat shop, and the grocery store, the fruit stands and the creamery were side by side on the same block. She had no desire to venture further down town, and she fe-t that once she came to know the butcher BDd the grocer and the fruit man that she would enter into the same friendly relations that she had always encouraged with !he tradespeople in Mayfield. She wanted the butcher to know her preferences about meat and to realize that she knew exactly what she wanted and how much she would pay for it. The butcher's interests in her needs would mean money In her pocket at the end of the month as she recalled from long experience. So having found that this marketing center would probably prove perfectly satisfactory she opened negotiations at once with these shop keepers. Filling her pantry shelves with the stock of supplies that she always kept In reserve was one of the first things to be done but until her pantry and kitchen were better arranged she hated to nil the place with groceries so thlj, week she bought Just what she needed for the actual preparation of her meals for the week letting the list go until a later date. The menus for the three meals on Friday are:

BREAKFAST. Orange Juice Cereal Spanish Omelet Pop Over* Coffee LUNCHEON. Crisp Pork and Cream Gravy Vegetable Salad Bread and Eutter Fruit Coco* DINNER.

Add four tablespoonfuls of butter and hot milk or cream to moisten, season with salt and beat until light and Huffy. Shape with pastry bag and rose ’ tube into roses, cronstades, borders, etc. FASHION HINTS FROM PARIS. The Scotch idea has hit Paris, espej dally for the girls not more than 16 years of age. Bonnie plaids and checks are being shown for the spring. Skirts aro fully pleated after the Scotch fashion and they have suspender straps finished with buckles and eyelets. The Scotch cap Is to be eeen, also. We predict that this Scotch idea will capture the grown ladies, too, before spring arrives. High heels for shoes are not In favor in Paris now. Since the first of the ye:ir heels have come down and the pre(diction is made that by April they will ; be less than half an inch in height. The j high shoe is n>t in favor, either. Low shoes and gaiters have been in evidence , for souse time.

The New York dressmaker has borrowed the charming French fashion of displaying her new models in a delightful setting and on a pretty manikin, a misleading lady who convinces all comers, young and old. the halt, the meager and the mountainous that they will look as she does in the new gowns. The Fifth avenue houses are using black for crepe silk, satiq and broadcloth, a contrasting color for the new blonsed and belted Jacket with a black skirt, vivid color lor the body which is a third part of the coat and dress suit, the low waistline, the boat neck and the broken hem, —From the March Delineator,
