IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Wo men Resent Certain Terms Applied by Men ‘Old Hen? and * Chicken? Were Vicious Epithets, but *Flapper ’ Is Worse. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. Applying outrageous names to women by the opposite sex has seemed to be a custom for ages past. Among some of the earliest names was that of "hag,” which means “a repulsive or vicious old woman,” to which none of us will subscribe. Then not so many years ago "chicken” seemed to be Jhe name applied, especially to the younger set, and as that means nothing more harmful than child, we shall have to pass that by without too much complaint, but when it comes to “old hen" an appellation of derision to the older women, while amusing, it becomes unbearable to those who have passed the so-called "chicken” period. Women and girls did not wince much when called birds. But where did the still later generation get the word "vamp” as applied to girisy and perhaps to some older women who would feign girlhood? It is without question an abbreviation of "vampire which means "one who lives upon others,'” but even that cannot be generally applied. A recent news note says, "the modern vampire is nothing much more than an imaginative improvement on the bright eyed girl of the old-fashioned church baiaar who used to sell you a dime's worth of home-made butterscotch for $1.25. But when the word "flapper” was imported from England to this country it seemed almost too much to bear. Many cannot see its beariug and many are as yet whispering around, asking its meaning. fearful that they will expose their ignorance. In fact, no one seems to know definitely j just What it does mean, yet the "flapper" is the constant subject of the newspapers. and of young men who talk glibly of femininity in such uncalled sot form' One wonders what is to come next, for with these horrid appellations, added to the criticism of the style of woman's dress which men have ever made a tirade against, it Is wonderful if It Is to be ever so. If this be the case some think that there should be retaliation in some form other, but others deem It wise to ignore It all. and If the stronger sex, the ones who lay claim to bigger, better brains, choose to go so far es to coin words without meaning to apply 10 those who should mean more than all else In the world to them, let them rack their brains still further. It will not change women's attitude toward them, though all will admit'that some of the names are hard to stand under. It all savors of disrespect—which is always hard to bear. Miss Eleanor Adams, president of Oxford College, Oxford, Ohio, in a recent conference of deans of women held in Chicago says in defense of the modern girl “the socially grotesque features of today are no worse than those of other times.” I am very optimistic about the modern glri. “She wiU be a much more intelligent mother than her own mother -was. The modern girl has developed Initiative Her surplus energy expends its If In Ailcal opinions, extreme dress and restlessness. She is puzzled a little about what to do with what she learns in college, but we are striving to train her, not so much for leadership as for service.” 1' is the belief of those who know her best that the "vamp” and “flapper" of today will develop and make the floe splendid wives and mothers of tomorrow. The names that men give will not live, therefore let them have no concern but pass them by as one of men’s vagaries. BEST COSMETIC COMES THROUGH AIDING OTHERS Useful Service Will Bring Beauteous Glow to the Cheek. XEW YORK, March 2.—Discretion U the better part of pallor. Too much rouge spells the rogue. Women —many of them —now use cosmetics so copiously that not eTen men are fooled. To the much-dtscussed matter of whether to paint or not to paint, or to fly to powders that we know not of. comee comment from a woman revered and beloved, by millions of her own sex—Commander Evangeline Booth of the Salvation Army. Every woman will not agree with her, but all will listen. "Any woman,” she declares, "who tries to add the bloom of youth to her cheeks artificially is trying to fool the world. SOME WOMEN IRE CHEATS. "The woman with blazing cheeks, indigo eyes and carroty hair is a positive . heat.

“The enormous sale of cosmetics In ■ig country is a disgrace. If the young women would take the money *hey spend >n paint and powder and use it to feed he starving children of the world they ■would need no artifice to make themselves attractive” In spite of the fact that many worthy women do nse artificial aids to appearance. there is truth in Commander Booth’s suggestion tbht service to others brings beauty. It surely gives a fine spiritual glow to her own countenance. True beauty must be an emanation from within and not altogether application from without. For a basis, a kind and gentle spirit is effective. Just as. in the same way. pulchritude itself promotes Its possessor’s good will toward the world. VAI.CE OF CHARACTER 1.0 VEUVES 8. The value of loveliness that comes ont of character is emphasized by Mrs. Elsie Y.'aterbufy Morris, well-known society woman and wife of Gouverneur Morris, the writer. Mrs. Morris indorses Com mander Booth's rectpe for creating comeliness. “Commander Booth has the very finest kind of beauty,” says Mrs. Morris. “It comes from spiritual qualities which must be fostered to cultivate happiness and outward beauty. “But suppose illness and unhappiness has taken away from a woman's cheeks the color she had In health —then a little speck of rouge is not obnoxious. “Women must learn to use aids to beauty with discretion, so that they won't be mistaken for coarse specimens of their sex,” she warns. Here is excellent advice from Copnlander Booth and Mrs. Morris, to the .irl who furiously colors her cheeks, who lets her eyebrows do business on '.ess than a shoestring and.whose locks of henna hue make artless folk think her Gehenna-bound. Mrs. Morris believes in the economic ami domestic value of good looks, and she advocates cleanliness as the beet cosmetic of aIL Grace of the spiritual type was given

She has a perfect “understanding." according to the Chicago Art Institute, which has honored Miss Mary Cranston, of that city, with the title of having the shapeliest limbs and feet in the I'nited States. A cast of her feet and limbs has ben added to the exhibits of the Art Instiute at Chicago.

in great measure to such women as Jeanne d'Arc, girl soldier and now saint, whose visage shone with unearthly beauty. Helen of Troy, more inuudand probably in her intentions, still inspired the ship-launching craft to such an extent that we feel her comeliness was no mean thitig. Commander Booth is a modern type of woman who Is radiant with the beauty of service. The value of looks in the borne Is emphasized by Mrs. Morris: "Mothers, poor or rich, need to look their best for their children's s. fee. it would be better for a woman to give her children two meals a day and spend some time keeping herself up. Her children will be happier if they can be proud of her. I l N'T If) I NESS REACTS. "The woman who lets her hatr become untidy and neglects herself to watt on others Is a misguided egotist, it reacts badly on her family. “Good clothes are useless with a muddy skin. Ornaments are Ineffective unless one cultivates health and strength. "Dyed hair always looks dyed and is rather unattractive. "Cosmetics are not anything new, of cours#. A .chemist of my acquaintance gave me an old Jar that had been found in excavating a tomb In Syria, about 2,000 years old. “Japanese women still use a great amount of paint, because they want to look artificial. But that would never do for American women. "Oar grandmothers used to let their teeth fall out and called It an act of God. The modern woman has hers cared for at intervals. She knows the value of the well-cared-for look. “Artifice in appearance Is the very last thing in this world that I would advo’ate. But soap and water are not always enough to keep the face clean and the woman who takes further measures Is not cheating. "If one has good health she doesn't need so much help. She possessor, the very best kind of beauty. But the superficial kind will get her a lot, too.”

Thi/ableiThimblei By CONSTANCE CORNWALL

THE STORY REVIEWED. Lawrence Tilton, successful barrister, is making tlie fight of his life for the woman lie loves. Lady Banister, formerly Diana Richmond, Ills onetime ward, returns from England, following the death of her husband. Lord Banister, who was killed in action in the World War. Diana secretly brings with her to Amorim, the famous Hardcaxter family Jewels, which were given he. by the Earl of lliirdcaster. brother to her fli-ceased husband. These gems are valued nt a half million. The death of the Earl of Ilardcastcr, following Diana’s departure from England, prompts a Spanish udventuress to pose as hi* widow and demand the Jewels. Threatened with nrrest for theft of the valniible gems, on the grounds that she had no right to take the treasure ont of the country, Diana appeals her case to Lawrence Tilton, her former gnardlan. I'lilllp Morell, a student friend of the Richmond family, serve* as an accomplice in the Spanish woman’* scheme, and emV.oavors to win Diana's affection. This arouse* the jealousy of Tilton. A real >truggle i* now on for possession of the gems. Take upc-the narrative here. CHAPTER Vlll—Continued “But you don’t understand, Grace,” Miss Ellis said. “We were discussing Mr. Tilton and his friends.” “Oh, I don't know," her friend said, tossing her head, “if I nad done wrong I think I should know It. One does not have to be a private secretary to understand that." "Now yon are angry, Grace, and I didn't mean It that way at all,” Miss Ellis said regretfully. 'Tm not angry nt all,’ ’protested Grace "but I don't see why you should get all wrought np because you got caught There's no more harm this time thin score* of other times when we have discussed the boss.” “I’m glad you reminded me.” Miss Elir* said with dignity. "I’ll see that it never happens again.” "You shall have my hearty support In yonr good resolution,” Grace said, turning quickly toward the door. "Come back, Grace.” Miss Ellis said hurriedly. We can't part bad friends. You start tonight on your vacation.” Grace turned back reluctantly. "Where did you decide to go?" Miss Ellis continued In conciliatory tones. "To Cranberry, a little place tn Connecticut," Grace vouchsafed. "Is it anywhere the Richmond home?" asked the other girl, unable to restrain her curiosity for long. "I haven’t thought of it before, but now that you speak of It, I think It is," Grace returned

4 ‘l wonder whether you win see any of the family' while you are out there?” Miss EUls reflected. ,’Tf we fire going to keep onr good resolution. I guess I had better run along," Grace said slyly. "I’ll write to you, and If the cranberry sauce Is good i’ll bring you some when I come back,” "Our resolution doesn't prohibit confidence In letter*." Miss Ellis called after her friend, but Grace's tantalizing laugh was the only response. Miss Ellis might have spared herself the uneasiness that she experienced fir the rest of the day. Tilton had heard every word of the girls' conversation, but so far from resenting it, he was grateful for the information their words conveyed. Some day, when tho time came he would tell Dl, with great glee, what he had Just heard about his money-making pr cllvlttes, discovered by his employes. But he decided that with such a keen observer as Grace bed shown herself to be, be must be more guarded. Os all men he, Larry Tilton, who could listen to evidence piling up against his client without the quiver of an eyelid, whose defeat gave little comfort to his opponent, when the question of personal feeling entered into a case, because ot his mastery over facial expression—to have laid bare his Inmost heart to a mere girl. It was humiliating. Larry wasted but little time on these reflections. Ho set himself the task of worrying ont the meaning of the rest of the conversation he had overheard. In one slight respect, he felt relieved that hip suspicions of Morell had been well founded. There had been times when ho had acted positively churlish to Tom'* friend, and he was ashamed of his actions, but for the life of him he could not have done differently. /Every time he had mpt Morell during tho two months since Li's return from Europe, he had wanted (o start a quarrel, in order to say the things which Mrs. Richmond's acceptance of the man forbade. But Morell had seemed blissfully innocen', or securely wrapped In guile, and beeatflSe the lawyer felt so unfriendly, and seemed wholly Incapable of concealing it, any question that he might otherwise have put In an intimate form would have sounded grossly insulting. Even though no satisfactory replies were forthcoming from his latent inquiries In Eldorado, California, and in Brazil, Mrs. Richmond refused to listen to any hints from the lawyer. “You are the most cheerless person to have around," she declared fretfully In response to Larry’s question whether Herbert Fawcett had told her In his letter where he met Morell, and who introduced them. "I didn’t even ask him wh<m I wrote; I forgot it a moment after you mentioned It. 1 advise you to do the same. I really think, Larry,

you are getting to be as uncomfortable as a wet blanket. Di thinks so, too.” ‘Thinks what?” Larry asked sharply. “That you are suspicious aud dictatorial,” she said plaintively. '“Did she say that?” Larry demanded. “Not exactly, but when I said you are always quizzing me about I’hllip she colored deeply, of course, with anger.” “That so?” Larry growled, and stalked out of the room. It will be seen that Larry had taken for 'granted that Morell’s companion in the restaurant was either the Spanish woman or herself, or someone In her service. Now, the question ''arose in his mind, what connection was there between Dl’s hurry call, and the Conversation he had Jnst overheard. Had she found out something about Morell, or had she seen the Spanish woman’: Perhaps some communication had passed between them. He thought the latter supposition was unlikely as all efforts to locate tho woman had failed. Evidently her purpose, since the expose of her trickery, was to work under cover. If she knew Morell, and it seemed quite certain that she did, she would learn from him where Di's jewels were stored. At the thought of that one-storied dwelling at Belden, Larry almost passed away. With what ease and dispatch a burglar cruild rob it and get away, and the danger to the occupants of the house could be easily imagined. He glanced hurriedly at his watch: there were still three hours before he could start. He wondered whether his Information would give him the necessary excuse for disobeying Di's instructions to come at the usual hour. He decided that whatever D! wanted him for was in some way connected with her jewels, or Morell. As she was so decisive when she had told him to go at the usual hour It might Interfere with her plans if he vent earlier. He sat a long time with his head between his hands, thinking deeply. Suddenly he lifted his head and sat bolt upright. "This has gone far enough," he said resolutely, under his breath. "Tenlght 1 will know definitely Di's feeling sot that dark-skin. Her mother cannot be relied upon: she la worie than no pro tector at all. and Tom Is swayed by Dl, or Morell, or both.” He snatched up the telephone receiver and gave a number. As he waited, hls features underwent a complete change. The wrinkled brow smoothed, the stern mouth relaxed, and an Impenetrable calm settled on his face. He talked Into the telephone for five minutes, slowly. Judicially, showing a well calculated plan. (To Be Continned.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.

By DAVID CORY. Os course. Taffy didn’t come to the door. But a little Welsh woman did and. dropping a curtsey, she Invited Puss and Tom Thumb to come in. "How is Taffy?” Puss asked. "His .head is still painful,” replied the little Welsh woman, "but for that he feels quite well, thank you,” and she dropped another curtsey. “May we see him?” asked Tom Thumb. “Well, that I don't Know.” she replied, "but I will Inquire. Won't you step into the sitting room?” So onr two small visitors walked In and sat down. The little canary btrd hopped about In her cage and the flowers in the green boxes In the bay window nodded In the sunlight, ns the big old clock In the far corner ticked away the minutes. “Come up and see Taffy.” suddenly cried the voice of the little Welsh woman. I guess Puss had almost fallen asleep listening to the drowsy tick of the old clock and the low twitter of the canary. Everything was so quiet and homelike, it reminded hlin of his old home when he prowled about in the garret and discovered the story book, "Puss In Boots.” Y'es, Puss Junior felt a little bit homesick, for “no matter how humble, there’s no place like home.” Taking Tom Thumb by the hand, he followed the Welsh woman up the stairs, where they found Taffy sitting propped up In bed, Ms head done up tn great bandages. But, oh, what pleasant blue eyes he had-! And his red beard, big and soft, flowed down over the counterpane, and his big, strong hand lay so quietly on his lap that Puss forgot he was Puss in Boots Junior, son of the Seneschal to my Lord of Carabns, and Jumped right up on the bed and nestled up to Taffy, purring away just like an ordinary cat! Aqd what did Taffy do? Did he say, “Scat! Y’ou'll get the counterpane all dirty with your red-topped boots!” No he diiln'Y. He jnst stroked Puss Junior with' Ms big kind hand, and the little Welsh woman picked up Tom Thumb and cuddled him in her bosom, saying in a low voice, “Dearie, me, but It’s nice to have friends come to see you when everybody in town is calling my Taffy a thief.’’ And then a tear fell from her eye on little Torn Thumb’s hat: but he didn’t care, for someone he felt there must be some mistake, and that Taffy wasn’t to blame. And Puss felt the same way. for he kept on purring and rubbing Ms nose against Taffy’s Mg rg<l hand. And In the next story you sh"l hear what happened affar that—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.)

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income [The Hoopers, an average American family of live, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how [ the many present-day problems of the home are. solved by working on ! the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow j 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 found that the tradespeople in Indianapolis were inclined to take the same friendly interest in her needs that she had found in Mayfield. "Don’t you use the telephone to do your ordering ma'am,” asked the butcher as she was making inquiries about having her roast sent home on Saturday if she selected it now. "Not if I can avoid It,” answered Mrs. Hooper, “I not only like to see what I am buying, but I have such an opportunity to change my mind and buy something that is cheaper and better than what I plan in my kitchen at home, when I come right here and see what there is in the market.” “That’s right ma’am,” agreed the butcher, “it would be a great mistake to buy lamb this week. I’m terrible short on it and wnat I have isn’t really the best quality as it happens and It’s really expensive. But of course,” he concluded, "I could tell you that over the telephone If you called me up.” “Y'es, but you probably wouldn’t tell me that yon had those nice scraps of calves liver,” answered Mrs. Hooper looking at several pieces that had evidently been left over when the liver had been cut to use only the large slices. "How did you happen to cut that liver that way?” Inquired Mrs. Hooper, j “Oh a woman came in and wanted eight slices of liver all the same size because she wanted them to look “just so” on the platter when they were cooked because she was having company, so ■ I just had to cut Into the middle of ! these good livers to get what she wanted. It was a fool proposition of course but * she’s a good customer so I had to give • her what she wanted.” “And of course you made her pay for It,” laughed Mrs. Hooper. “Well that was no more than right I should say,” answered the butcher defensively. “I have all those ends on my hands haven’t I?” i “No you won’t have because I’m going to take them If you’ll sell them |to me cheap," said Mrs. Hooper. “Combined with bacon I can use them for my dinner —but as It will be harder to cook all those little pieces and make them look like anything X ought to have I some recompense.” ! “I’ll bo glad to let you have them ! cheap," answered the butcher quickly, "I don’t want them on my hands, and except that they won’t make quite as good a showing when you put them on the table there Just as good eating I’ll say.”

! "Very well, I’ll take all the calf liver j you have there,” said Mrs. Hooper, "and | make a very good meal of It.” | "I see what yomuean now ma’am by cornin’ to the shop yourself replied the butcher, “and I’ll say that It pays. Now If you’re planning to make soup I have i all these ends of meat and bones that you can have for a real bargain.” : “I’ll take them," said Mrs. Hooper promptly. "I’m Just getting my soup stock pot started and that lot will be a splendid foundation.” Mrs. Hooper’s marketing list also contained the things she always kept in reserve on her pantry shelf and which she had not yet put In place. She was spending on this all of her surplus that had been accumulating for over a month in her food budget, so that she did not have to dip Into her weekly allowance of twenty dollars. She ordered these and the grocer promised to send them home tomorrow afternoon so she could get them in place on her shelf on Sat- . urday, * 1 Butter and eggs and milk she found about the same price as they had always been in Mayfield at this time of year, and she arranged at the dairy supply counter to have her delivery of these things made and paid for by the week, having the butter and egg3 sent home on Friday and the milk delivered every morning.
