IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

SUFFRAGE LEADER TO SPEAK HERE

BY JULIA C. HENDERSON. Mrs. Antoinette Funk who is to speak tomorrow night at the dinner of the American Electric Association is one of the outstanding women speakers of the country. She is well known in Indianapolis having spoken here several times in behalf of suffrage. Her first appearance in Indianapolis was at a Progressive Party dinner in 1912, where she spoke on the program with Raymond Robins of Chicago. Mrs. Funk’s last visit to Indianapolis was at the Mississippi Valley Suffrage Conference held here In 1915. Mrs. Funk belonged to that successful quartet of women known as the “Big Four,” who put over the suffrage legislation in Illinois, that gave the movement such a tremendous boom ail over the Middle West. Mrs. Funk together with Mrs. Medlll McCormick and Mrs. Sherman Booth, who had carried the work through so successfully In Illinois, were named by the National Woman Suffrage Association as members of the congressional committee with headquarters In. Washington. Mrs. Funk, being an able lawyer, was

Mrs. Stubbs’ Address Before Mother and Daughter Banquet

(Editor’s Note—The following Is the address given by Mrs. Martha J. Stubbs, child science writer and lecturer, at the “Mother and Daughter banquet" held u| the Engelwood Chrlsttian Church on Thursday night.) "The oldest institution of which we have record is the home. "The home is the abode of thp husband and wife and is incomplete without children. Any institution is defective which serves no definite purpose in a community ; and when home is not made reverent by children, It fails to be an integral part of Its community, and after the lapse of a generation becomes extinct, and its effect seldom lingers after It. Should such men and women, either or both, have left a financial, or moral emolument to their memory, their influence exists in a superficial manner in the minds or interests of the few. according as they were beneficiaries of such benefieience. ‘‘Homes were primarily Instituted to house the young of human kind and perfect the laws of the Almighty according as His judgment was meted out to man in the creation of an help meet, and according also to His vision for the promotion of generations that the world might continue to be peopled. "Woman was given unto man for a definite purpose and becomes at once the negative factor in his life. Without her, life is void and empty to the heart of man. She is his burden bearer and sustaining influence. No matter the game he plays, sLe is created to be his righthand bower. She is the mother of his children and his partner in business; she sits upon the queenly throne of home and ministers with patience, confidence and care unto the subjects which belong to her kingdom; she must temper her patience with practice; her perseverence with poignancy; her pathos with power; her heartaches with smilee: her chenshed ambitions with temperate actions; in all she must be the chief element in her home. MOTHER LOVE IS GREATEST OF ALL. “The desire of earthly possessions is not to be compared to a mother’s love for her beautiful daughter. The most untiring, unselfish and unfaltering love in the world, is that of a mother toward her child. “The first thrill of mother love Is felt when out of the travail of her own body, a child is born unto her, and she instinctively takes the little bundle into her arms and provides it out of her own being -with the sustenance of life.

| equipped to carry the work far In Congress. It was this committee that first secured consideration for the Susan B. Anthony amendment in that body. She practiced law for fourteen years in Chicago where she handled many Important cases. Although not a criminal lavyer, it has been said of her that she has defended more murder cases than any other woman in the world. Asa practicing attorney she could hold her own among other lawyers and could have achieved success as well as a fortune, but she had the desire to do something for the women i of the country, and stayed with i.he suffrage movement to the end. Now that suffrage has been achieved Mrs. Funk has again taken up the practice of law in : Washington, D. C. i She Is a most pleasing speaker, and is said to be one who never prepares a speech In advance. She talkes rapidly, distinctly and with such evident earnestness that 6he is most convincing to her hearers. True to form, and her great interest always in her sex, she will address the dinner session tomorrow night on “The Woman’s Viewpoint.”

what mother dares forget the first kiss of love imprinted upon the reddened, wrinkled brow of her first born! She ; intuitively swaddles and protects the ! child while he is young nor does her pro- [ tectlve instinct cense until he has reached very mature yeais and are sometimes as | iasting as life itself. "If the mother Is a frugal one, she lays ! up in store for her child; if she belongs ’ to the mediocrity of the great middle ; class of peoples she hoards her scant treasury to give to her child the neces- : sities of life. She sacrifices In a thousand ways, that he may be clothed, fed and properly educated. In fact no genI uine mother, full of God given instinct, j sacredly provided her, falls to think of i her child rather than herself, let whatever condition exist that may. As the weakest bird protects her nestling, or the great eagle sits in defiance upon the rocky ledge to guard her eyrie lest her j young be molested, as the lion roars I within his lair, until the inhabitants of I the jungle crouch in fear, so a' mother of I children throws about her young the safeguard of love and protection, known only to the mothers of a race. I GREATEST INFLUENCE I ON LIFE OF DAUGHTER. | “The most impelling influence In the | life of a daughter, Is her mother. A i mother not only nurses, feeds and proI tects her, but ere she is aware, she is I the teacher of her childish fancies, and | the child imitates in teisture incomplete i the things her mother places before her. ! Being imitative in character, she finds the daughter easily to play peea-a-boo; and she is just as apt in performing hundreds of little mimicking antics In which she reveals the imitative nature that lies within her and which a mother fosters for her further development. As she Instinctively loves, she Just as Instinctively ; teaches, and she becomes her daughter’s i playmate of her daughter’s childish j years and the companion of her youth. The method may lack system, or the manner of the proceedure be dull and crude, but the antness to do it in some form lies enfolded within her Instinctive virtues, and within her heart of hearts she whisperingly says: “Had I no little feet to guide Along life’s toilsome way. My owu mor.e frequently might slide, More often go astray. But when I meet my baby’s eyea, At God’s own bar I stand. And angels draw me toward the skies While baby holds my hand." “So endless and untiring Is a mother’s

love for her child that the world can never forget. When the midnight oil burns low and the earth with her seething millions is at rest, it is the heart of a mother than hangs above the little white cradle, and somewhere between that hour of darkness and dawn sends a prayer heavenward for the safety of her child. “It is a mother’s heart that is torn in anguish, when the silver cord is loosed and the golden bowl is broken and the spirit of her child is returned to the bosom of it’s Maker. She is ever a Rachel, who will not be comforted, weeping in the wilderness for her children who will never return. “It is a mother's hand that clasps that of her child and with unwearied footsteps smoothes the path that leads to yonder red schoolhouse on the hill. MORE SACRIFICES STILL TO BE MADE. “AVith indulgent efforts amid much sacrifice, toiling upw r ard in the night, she neatly packs the trunk wit’.; frills and furbelows, and sends the daughter to yonder institution of learning. It is the mother who sacrifices her finger tips, counting her beads in hushed tones, least the world shall know, in order that het daughter may be able to compete with the men and women of affairs in the world today. She it is who undertakes to shoulder burdens and smiles as she bears them forward in anticipation of a rosy future for her child. If the family purse is lean, as most of them are today, it is the mother who can draw the strings and in silence meta out its meager, measured contents. “Woman adds to the roll of her centuried existence, ihe art of labor! usuess for the sake of home and its inmates. She continues faithfully at her daily grind that her children may be fed from the storehouse of her heart and the scant fullness of her hand. Her children are alive to the progressive interests, combines and fascinations due to this century. “However, In depleting mother instinct and love and the institution which comes to them, all mothers and fathers possess the same natural tendencies, some, being more progressive than others; their instincts having been trained into habits in the generation or generations perhaps, that preceded them and their children into the advent of a world and consequently constitute a more apt tendency to develop and cultivate the native instincts, that are their ancestral heritages. “Asa result of progress and quickening of civilization, our daughters are fast becoming vastly Independent and selfsupporting. The question of the hour with them, is, shall I be the wife of some young man and the mother of his children or shall I paddle my own canoe'/ “Nor is that all, she is giving much thought to the fact, that unless a man can take care of her properly; feed, clothe and protect her; perhaps give her a bank account of her very own, on which she is privileged to draw as she pleases and render unto Caesar no account of her expenditures, then she is not very particular about becoming his wife, nursing his ailments or catering to his whims. “The doors of the world have unlocked to her through the grace and artistic j beauty of her hand, and the maguiflcant J wonders of her active brain. The key! lie* hidden in the trackless past, deeply buried by the tactful and ambitious yearnings of her patient persistence. The creaking of the hinges awaken the world and woman made to be the pride of man’s bosom becomes the partner of his busi-l ness and the rival of his political am- 1 bit ion s. “Has she forsaken the feminity of her race, or has man failed to keep his tryst ? WOMAN PROUD OF HER INSIGMA. “Woman bears the stamp of mother-; boo'd and has no desire to cast oft her 1 insignia, the crowning virtue of her life. | God placed within her arms the helpless 1 child and within her heart the Instinct of love! Can she hanish it? Will she continue to look divinely into the face of man, the father of her child, with her breath hot upon his cheek, while she prays for affection and protection. “Ah man, can it be that you have sinned ? Has commercial greed, the lure of worldliess, the lacl. of gold, driven woman from your embrace? Is home no longer her kingdom? Flickering shadows from the firelights glow still envelop the form of mother, as she cradles a world at her feet, will it always be so?

“To a mother, In business or out her children are her most significant possession, and her thoughts are pregnant with the hope that she become realistic In her pursuit of Ideals for the advancement of her daughters. She enters upon a remunerative career, not to popularize der circumstances when he weakens, and that she may be better equipped to render service In the fundamental necessities of life, for the betterment of her family and the efficiency of their childhood. ‘‘Equipped parenthood comprises a vast scope of territory, including mental ability, physical strength, moral fortitude and financial support. “Through the centuries woman has looked to man as her supporter, while he in turn has recognized woman as his comforter. All men are made to be aggressive and dogmatic; when they are otherwise they are flaccid, and unless a wife contributes something of her own assertiveness to his business, no matter its caliber, he is a failure. Most women have somewhere hidden within the recesses of their hearts a burden which they bear; a deep faith in a husband; an unfaltering trust in Divinity; an unwavering possession of self, the integral unit of which is hope, which gives to For a sustaining grace and an unchangitig desire to be unequivocal. WOMAN IS SOUL OF PATIENCE. Woman, real woman, is the soul of patience; God gave her strength to live, though she suffer much, and man, real man, looks upon woman as his benefactress and as his counter part. What is she to man, to whom she has pledged or may pledge her life? She smoothes the path and makes it pleasant for him to tread, she bears the burdens which are too great for him to carry, she develops serenity of soul and Christian poise, upder circumstances whee he weakens, and without tne support of woman man would fall. Rlnister influences easily corrupt man if he is commercially inclined, unless he is strengthened by unadulterated womanhood. "Woman has her place In the world, yea, even by the side of men. It were gross Ignorance to separate the birds of the air, much less to agitate the question of women in the affairs of the world. In direct connection with man she has been his partner in domestic life, and has proven faithful to her trust. Why, then, should man question her ability in the business world, or fear her dominion over him in the political realm. ‘‘Have we as mother not played fair, and will our daughters betray the tru:*?

I Will "'Ogress place a ban on mother - ■ hoi • “ - recent has been woman’s universal advent into the business and political world, and man, afraid of his own supremacy, dares lift an opposing hand, lest she preciptate him from his exalted position. Woman was created by the hand of Divinity, as an helpmeet for man, and she has progressed in aci cordance with all other enterprises, for ! indeed, is she not an enterprise? Man 1 most certainly regards ner as such. If woman were creaied to be caressed by man and bear children that generations might exist, then the purposes of God have been thwarted, man has failed to do his duty, and woman has been driven to support herself. “Since the dawning of the Christian era, women have dressed according to the customs of the time, and that instinctive desire to be admired, to be loved, to appear stylishly •costumed in order to meet the just or unjust, but peculiar and natural approbation of man, has been a part of her life, and she is at sea without the toggery confined to her sex. WOMAN REGARDED AS CHARMING NECESSITY. “Gentility looks upon a woman as a charming necessity in his life, and admires her for her beauty, both natural and artifical. How then can agitators change it? If man is wrapped in currency and can continue to make a “modiste'’ of his wife, to he sure she appreciates his pride in her good looks and he bubbles over with joy at his success, and at her recognition in society, or in the business or political world. If he is financially unable to do it, and she has the ability and energy to work, she is greatly to be admired for she is able to accomplish much. Nor is it all decreed to fashion and fancy dress. Many women are prone to love the almighty dollar and if man cannot provide it, it is no longer astigmatism to put her shoulder to the wheel and prove to the w-orld her intrinsic value as a supporter of self. Does it render her Incapable or less admirable as a mother? No; the best mother in the world today is she who keeps abreast of the times and knows that the road her daughter shall travel is being made ready for her untrained footsteps. She knows how to install her in business and teach her the value and dignity of work, the love of labor and independence of thrift. “The most educated and cultured women have entered the fascinating field of politics and are much interested in governmental affairs. Man watching with eagle eye, lest she dethrone him politically, graciously insists that she become a ward chairman or precinct committeeman, or accept some insignificant office that he vainly imagines she can fill. And what is the stir about? Women are not content with what man has to offer.

"Since the dawn of time, woman has mysteriously figured In the life of man. She Is still figuring, and rather mysteriously, too. She Is not so easily wooed and won In this day of Independence. Nets, that once wove a web about the feet of woman, no longer prove a snare to her intelligence. Woman is not so easily entranced with the flattering smiles, that once caused the heart of Innocence to flutter. “The queslon that confronts man today is, will she be the mother of my children, my associate in business, or my political rival? What Is she? Where Is she? I turn ths knob of my office door and she greets me with her smile. I step Into a bank and she cashes my check and passes the dollars over the counter in a business like manner. I set a monetary value upon my existence, she writes up the policy and keeps the premium. I don my hat and gloves and in deep meditation, I twirl my swagger stick, but she flashes past me driving her own great Cadillac and leaves me alone with my thoughts! I pursue her, and lo! she Is at the propeller of an airplane and the winds and clouds have borne her far! “Ah, lovely woman, what art thou, that Romeo shall plead in vain for his Juliet! ‘Mothers of today have much concern indeed, as to the future of their cherished daughters. The mark of progress is distinct. Shall it efface the sanctity of the home? Forty four per cent of the marriage licenses granted In the United States are revoked with divorce proceedings and many beautiful daughters are thrown upon the mercies of a cold and heartless world. “Will our daughters continue to serve the destiny of time and man, even as we have done, or will the progress of an hundred years bring to light the eradication of instincts and the purity and blessedness of her virginity while she thrives in business unharmed by the heart of man!” VETERAN STRAYS FROM HOSPITAL. Local police have been asked to watch for John Capron, World War veteran, who strayed from the Government Psychopathic Hospital at Marion several days ago. Capron is an attorney from Ft.

ThimbleiThimblei By CONSTANCE CORNWALL

Diana Richmond, ward of Lawrence Tilton, successful young lawyer, while visiting an aunt in London, becomes acquainted w’th Lord Banister, who she marries. With the breaking out of the World War, Lord Banister is called to the colors and later is killed in action. The Earl of Hardeaster, brother to Diana’s husj band, gives her the family jewels, as : a part settlement of the estate. These gems, of inestimable value, Diana I brings with her to her old home in America. A Spanish woman, allcgfng to be the widow of the Earl of Hardeaster, follows Diana across the ocean, in an attempt to obtain possession o. the Jewels. The woman threatens exposure and arrest, if Diana does not return the gems. Worried over the sltuivtlon, Dianna takes her troubles to her former guardian, Lawrence Tilton, who aids in untangling the complications in connection with the jewels, reviving an old romance In the meantime. CH APT ER~Vl—Continued She was sitting up in her seat, fresh and glowing, looking squarely at him. “I was thinking of you," he said earnestly. | “I thought you had decided to forget disagreeable subjects until tomorrow,” I she replied coloring. “My subject is not disagreeable; on the contrary, It is very charming," he said, j“X was wishing that I were a wizard, and could transport you back to where j you were five years ago.” | “And you would deny me all the pleasures and triumphs of those five years?” she queried, a far-away look in her eyes that his words had called up. "I would have spared you all the griefs and pains,” he answered. She looked quickly at him. “How do you know?” she asked. “Am I changed so very much?” “You are more beautiful than ever, Dl, but there is a sadness in the back of your eyes that was not called there by pleasures and triumphs. “You are a keen observer,” she replied slowly. “And by the way, I think you are very much changed, too.” “I suppose I look, ‘Oh, very, very old. At least, 40,’ ” he said, trying to keep the anxiety out of his voice. She laughed outright. “Now you are really funny. Do you know, Larry, you look ever so much younger than you did before I went away? At school I used to tell the girls about my elderly guardian, but now I feel older, and you seem to be younger,” she said sagely. It took the lawyer a second or two to suppress the joy her words imparted. “I suppose you think it's clever to jolly an old man by telling him he looks young,” he said in affected injured tones. Di arched her eyebrows in surprise. “What reason had I to suppose It would please you to think that you look | young?” she asked in pretended astonishment. “I should think that age was an asset to a lawyer—it inspires confl- j dence.” “There Is something besides confidence that I want to inspire." he said meaningly, but Di was looking out of the opposite side of the car. When she J spoke again it u>as to direct his attention to the green lawns and beautiful cottages they were passing at the time. Although so little had been said, Larry felt some progress had been made in the subject near, his heart. But when they reached Di’s home and he stepped out of the car and turned around to assist Di to alight, he found Philip Morell was ahead of him; and unless his eyes deceived him Morell held her closer and longer than the occasion re- I qulred. There was no dtfubt, however, I that Dl blushed furiously. “Who is this fellow Morell?” he asked Di's mother that evening, while the for eigner was hanging over Di at the piano. j

Mrs. Richmond had never in her life had anything to conceal, and would not have understood if she had been told thnt any one else had. So without any comment she repeated what Philip llorell had told her. “He Is from Porto Rico,” she said, “and has lived a number of years in California, which accounts for his fluent English. He is 25 years old, and because his education has been neglected, he is only this year entering Yale. His father Is a South American nabob, and his mother a Porto Rican. Os course,” Mrs. Richmond explained, “Philip’s father being a nabob are Tom’s words, not Philip’s. He is very modast about Uis father’s great wealth.” “Dt said that Tom met him at the Country Club. Who took him there V Tilton asked casually. “Arthur Fawcett met him somewhere and invited him home. Then Tom brought him here. We are very much attached to him,” she said innocently. “Will you invite Fawcett to dinner some night, Mrs. Richmond?" Tilton asked. "I haven’t seen the lad for a long time. I used to think he wap Inclined to be wild. I’d like to prove myself wrong In this particular case.” “I .would like to oblige you, Larry,” his hostess replied, “but the Fawcett family sailed for Europe a week ago. That Is the reason Tom Invited Philip here. I can satisfy you, however, about Arthur. He is really a good boy and a model eon.” CHAPTER Vi I. The lawyer attached little importance to Mrs. Richmond’s account of young Fawcett, or any one, for that matter. To the simple-hearted lady nobody was bad unless he wore horns. Tilton changed the subject r.nd a moment later strolled

out of the room to a veranda that commanded a view of the whole room. A careful scrutiny of Morell’s features revealed to the older man that for some reason or other the Mexican, or Porto Rican, had misrepresented his age. Though, perhaps, he was less than 35, he was certainly nearer that than 25. Tilton had a strong resentment toward unnecessary deception. His frank nature was in arms at once, and he was prepared to doubt everything that the darkbrowed, handsome Porto Rican had told his friends. Did he not, ss Tom's gaardl.m, feel responsible for the young man’s welfare? He liked him well enough to see that no one Imposed upon him. Besides, Di’s brother had a special claim on him and he determined to keep a close watch on Morell. A man who would misrepresent when there was apparently no occasion for it must be concealing something else that might be important to the Richmond family. During the evening Di puzzled him more than a little. Once or twice when he caught her eye he could have vowed that she was coquetting with Morell. At such times he would turn his back on the couple and gaze out into the moonlit garden. He lit a cigar, making that an excuse for remaining outside. Several times Di showed unmistakable signs of •depression, and once he saw her bury a blushing face In the fuzzy coat of a toy Pekinese puppy, evidently the one given to her by the Earl of Hardeaster. Whatever Philip had said, however, was not displeasing, for presently she looked up at him and smiled. Di’s nature had always teen like an April day—tears and smiles. Though the transitions from one mood to the other were sudden, she was wholly sincere in either state of mind. But as Larry watched her from his post on the veranda he found it difficult to reconcile her capricious actions with the Di of his recollections. Larry was quite frank in admitting to himself that he was jealous of Morell, but in his heart he didn’t bel'cve that Dl would marry him. She was amusing herself for the time being. But then again, why? He couldn’t see why a girl like Di should waste her time with a fellow like Morell. Os course, as a guest he had to be entertained, but wasn't Larry also a guest? Dl's mother had complained early In the evening of a headache, and was dozing in the farthest corner of the room, and Tom was mortifying his flesh in another room with a tutor, who was coaching him in some neglected work from the previous term And Larry had been allowed to entertain himself. At least, he thought, Di might have divided her attention. (To Be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID COBY.

The little man, whose bullets were made of lead, as soon as the meal was over, leaned back In bis chair aqd said; , “My good Sir Cat, you look like a great traveler, will you not tell ns a story? My good wife Joan and I will be most attentive listeners.” Puss curled his whiskers reflectively for a few minutes. “What sort of a story would you like?” he asked. “An excltinlg one, or something homelike and pretty?” “Something homelike and pretty,” said the little man. “Something exciting,” cried his wife. “I have so much of home that I would hear something different.” j “Just like a -woman,” said Puss to himself ; “they are much alike. Yet, what she says is reasonable. Too much of any one thing grows stale.” “What were you saying?” asked the little man. “Nover mind, interposed his good wife, whose ears were sharper than his, “we will have a story of adventure,” and she smiled at Puss, who, after foldInb his napxin, settled himself back in his chair and commenced his story. “One fine morning as I was walking along with a small owl for a comrade, the very same little owl who had rescued me from the Giant of the Beanstalk, I came to a queer looking cottage made of gingerbread, in the midst of a thick forest. Feeling a bit hungry, I broke off a tiny piece, when I heard a voice say, ‘What is that? A little mouse nibbling pieces from my house?’ And then all of a sudden the door opened, and I saw a very ugly witch. She was leaning on a crutch. Her eyes were very black and bright and her nose long and crooked. “Come In, my dears,” she said. “Ton must not eat up my house, for what then would I have to live In. Come in, and if you are hungry I will give you something togry.” I accepted her in\Ration, but the little owl stayed outside. I had my trusty staff with me, you see, and so I wasn’t afraid. “No sooner had I entered than I knew she was a very wicked old woman. A poor little child, whom she called Gretel, was crying in a corner of the room. “Get this fine eat something to eat,” the wicked witch said to her, giving her arm a pinch. At this moment my little friend the owl flew into the house and j whispered in my ear, “There’s a little boy locked up in the stable. He says his j sister is here.” "We will rescue them,” j I answered, "but be careful.” And next time you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.)

Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income [The Hoopers, an average American 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 problem* of the tome are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper ha* evolved and found praeticaL Follow them daily In an Interesting review of their home life aud learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] MONDAY. “I really feel as If this week win begin to see me working on something Ilka I ifAn orgaillZed u basis >” remarked Mrs. breakfast* -V 1 * famU J Bal together at breakfast. It is unbelievable how long it eeems to take to get things in their places when everything has to be bought new. • ’3 .!* seems to be growing more comfortable and homelike every day” said Henry cheerfully. “I' m beginning t0 4 fed very much settled already ” that 1 think it la Tery grand yet, observed Helen boldly. “Tha house at Mayfield used to look kind of elegant with a lot of old things. I don’t see why this new furniture doesn’t make i it look better, but it doesn't somehow ” “Well, all in good time Helen w e will have the Mayfield living room atmosphere back,” replied her mother hopefully. “Those old things that were part of our life for so long can’t be replaced but we will gradually get used to these newer surroundings and we may even I like them better." “I miss the old book shelves," observed Mr. Hooper, and I suppose It will be ages before we will gather any more books; even In Mayfield we assembled them slowly because there was go little I money In the budget to buy them. I'm like Helen I never realized how much those shelves of books added to the room In what yon call atmosphere, Mary.” 'I ve found an old bookshop not so i very far from the school where they sell second-hand books,” said Roger, “and some of them look awfully good and I know they are cheap. We never had any rUce like that in Mayfield—nothing but brand new books that mother never could afford to buy.” 111 have a look at that shop some day, Roger it sounds Interesting," said hia father. ”1 saw my English teacher In there browsing around the other afternoon,” Roger went on, “and when I asked hiin about it he told me he often picked up wonderful bargains there and that the place wasn’t filled with a lot of rubbish.” How about building some shelves along the Bide of the living-room?” asked Mr. Hooper. “Roger and I can do it on Saturday afternoons.” “It seems rather silly I suppose when we have no books to speak of,” replied Mrs. Hooper pondering, “but the shelves would fill ihat awful blank space and I have some pretty old figured material that I bought at a sale once that could be used for curtains, until they were some time filled with books.” “1 suppose if we had the shelves we might try to buy some books occasionally,” suggested Mr. Hooper. “One of the fellows told me,” said Roger, “that not very long ago they had seen in the paper that a “Buy c book a week” campaign had been starved in a good many places and that his family were doing it with their spare cash and that It was great fun to get your i’brary that way and that when you stopped to think of it a “book a week” was fiftytwo books a year.” “I think that would be a splendid idea," said Henry, “and there’s no reason why we shouldn't try it.” “Well I don’t know where the money Is to come from,” mused Mrs. Hooper. “The only department of my budget that takes care of that sort of thing is “Advancement,” and we have only three dollars a week in that account for more necessary things.” “Well I intend to get a Job on Saturday afternoon,” announced Roger, “and I'll start a “book fund.” The menu for the three meals on Tuesday is:

The really smart color for spring promises to be dandelion yellow. Dressmakers scoff at the idea that some women may not be able to wear yellow. Any complexion can stand it, they say, and other colors are so blended with it as to take away any possible harsh, effect. Yellow hasn’t been used extensively for a few years and the dressmakers believe it is time for that color's return. BAN ON ROOSTERS.
