•* IN THE REALM WHERE-WOMAN REIGNS •*

Women Work for Adoption of Amendment Club Groups Interested in Proposal Which Means Much to Sex. BY JULIA C. HENDERSON. The • blanket” amendment to the Constitution of the United States, wtich la receiving attention from all organized groups *f •women, because It deal.; with the things vital to women's Interest*, was proposed by the Woman’s party and Is being foatered by it. It waa the consensus of opinion of the legislative representatives, nine big national organizations held at Washington in December, that the blanket equal rights amendment to the Federal Constitution as proposed by the Woman's party (ll endanger the existence, and at the very least will throw into the courts, pit years of liitigation, the State legislation that has beet# enacted for the protection ut\ wage-earning women. The woman's committee on Industrial legislation is epmposed of women who have been studying the question of women's rights and interests for years and it Is felt that their Judgment should not bw far wrohg, for they have studied the question from Its many and varied angles. * v The National f.oague of Wiynen Voters, which la represented in the congressional committee by its president, Mrs. Maud Wood Park, heartily is In favor of the removal of legal and political dlscrimtnatidns against women. In fact, one of the named for the league to advance when it was organized was "to remove the remaining legal d.scritainations against women in the codes and eonsti•utlons of the several States so the feet f 'the cumin • women may find these stumbling blocks removed." The league ,-iieves the proposed ‘'blanket'’ ain'ol-, nient Federal Constitution aud the Sta.e "blanket” bills are not a satisfactory means to that end. because "blanket" legislation serionsly may complicate the civil code and endanger protective legislation for women already /enacted. Legal opinions differ as to how farreaching such a change wlil be. Despite the fact of the opposition,' the Woman’s party continues its campaign for tba "blanket” amendment and some States have adopted It, Wisconsin being she first. Thai women are coming to the front as -public office-holders, either through theic own Initiative, or by being placed on the tickets by their party is proved by the following’ recent election reports. In Nebraska the elections last fall brought ninety-seven women Into office —seven county clerks; eight clerks of the district court; eleven registrars of deeds; eight county treasurers; one county attorney; sixty county superintendents and two county assessors. Kentucky’s returns on the first State election in which women participated show a representative in the State Legislature, also a woman in each of the following offices; Circuit Court clerk; jailer, county jail; city treasurer; city park commissioner, and two on the city board of councilmen. Ohio’s list of women is not complete as yet, but from Cuyahoga County alone forty-one women were returned to public office. Indiana’s list is not complete, bnt a score or more of women have been elected to off I co, for the most part as city clerks and treasurers.

USEFUL HltiTS FOR WOMEN IN BUYING HATS Sanui Tactics Used Buying Bonnets as in Choosing Husband. By II EDI)A HOYT. NEW YORK, March 3—A clever woman used the same tactics in the choosing of a bonnet as she does in the choosin* of a husband. {>he selects one that will wear well. *-t well, stand the strain of fonl or fafr weather, one‘of which she will not tine easily, one that is kind to her from ev*ry angle and. above all, one that looks as if It belonged to her. She doesn’t choose the first one that happens to please her eye without trying out it's qualifications nor does she try eufc everything that is set before her and end in utter exhaustion by taking any old thing. As she always looks her best h*fore her prospective life partner, so should she see that she is best before sitting down to the milliner’s mirror. Should Milady follow the above rules when selecting her spring bonnet, though heavy lies the head that wears the- -erown, hers will balancg, with the ease of the down of an aged dandelion. The spring hats of 19it2 can be large, broad, tall, turned-up. drooping. fllm3y. feathery, flat or what not. So it is difficult to make any set rules for one to follow on them. Materials and trimmings, however, have many new idlSoyncrasies which mark the hats of this spring from those of previous seasons. For the tailored hats there are the calsomined ostrich, lacquered quills with painted designs in batik, ouills of ribbon and chenille. This quill trimming is usually placed on the back brim of the medium shaped hats, which invariably turn up a bit at the back. When ostrich Is used other than in quill form it is long slued and worn as a sweeping band about the crown of the large dressy hat. Birds—shades of the Audubon Society •—are the latest fad used in Paris as a trimming and will be very popular Are in America. We will not, bojyever, use the real, stuffed bird, for our birds are to be made of pasted feathers and with paper bills. A reai good bird Is worth several paper bills if one is to believe the wholesalemen. Parrots and parrakeets are the birds most in demand, though a few drab-looking sparrows are shown. Chenille birds embroidered on straw are also very effective. The most popular flowers shown this season are blue bells, morning glories, hyacinths, hydranglas, thistles and In fact anything with a blue or lavender tone in it. Corn colors range next in the line of popularity. Pflmd lilies, magnolias and nasturtiums are among the prettiest flowers in this tone. Lacquered flowers and leaves are favored for the cluster trimming. RlDbons—when one mentions ribbons it is necessary to speak of the Rub&n Bagatelle at once, for it Is the most beautiful ribbon put on the market in years. It has a highly lustered surface which looks very mnch like patent leather, but has a softness to it that yields to any>iraplng. ij comes ' j every conceivable shade and width. Whole turbans are draped of it and the narrow widths are used as a rosette trimming. One anode] of this' material is made Ip the familiar turned-up style in navy blue and Is embroidered in jute. White plush ribbon edged in colored gros-grain adds anew touch to the sport hat. In parts of the country where long winters, do not permit the early wearing of straw bats, satin haircloth.

The poke hat will "undoubtedly be the most popular shape of [he season, with it’s front brim slightly rolling off the face and its back very short. Large picture hats are said to be popular abroad in the advance spring models. After several years reign, the off-the-face type is on the wane and the picture hat should meet with a welcome here in America. Tiwbo strpw is the new material for sport and tailored hats. Horse hair braids form most of the more dressy models. I’erriwinkle, that lovely shade fringing between lavender and blue trill be worn with the thin summer frocks. Jade, used as a trimming, is well favored as Is fuschia In every tone. FASHION TIPS. Spring promises to have a suit season rather than the wrap and gown Idea which we have been used to. Poiret displays a three piece *ult of white romaine with a blark quilted satin coat lined with tangerine taffeta. Veils with small dbts are preferred at the moment to the larger meshed' ones the chenille dots. The mesh Is ! usually taffy or sand color with brown dots. Henna and putty are also good. Neckwear is made up in bold, splashing colors of linen rather than in sheer batis’e and lace. The tendency for sport effects is probably causing this change. Many of the evening gowns worn at Palm Beach this season sre of white | Canton crepe beaded in yellow beads in I an allover design. Black moire Is to be one of the best i selling materials for the one piece cosi fume this coming season. It is at Its i best when trimmed with black monkey | fur.

board is likely to carry sharply whetted knives when this comes pp, because the I | board is determined that if the present I contract for the use of grounds around twenty-two school buildings Is renewed Aere whall be cut out of it in one fell swoop the provision which makes the j park board liable for damages to school ! property. PARK BOARD PAYS BILL. I hr* board, without dissenting vote or much comment beyond expression of tho determination that the city shall not be "roped in” 0 nan agreemffiit to pay fov the w iimow lights, voted to approve payment of the $475 the school boapfl asked'.' After this was done President Charles A. Bookwalter blandly inquired If the bill for the concert expense the P3rk board sent to the school vioard has been returned. The school board held up one statement for $795 because part of the sum represented half of a payment to the Enquirer Printing Company, of which Clarence E. Crippin, former dbemher of the school board, is preiJlcnt j Charles L. Barry now president of tho ; school board, Is if bitter enemy of Mr Crippin. In asking whether the school board had sent the bill back Mr. Bookwalter described It ns the bill “which Mr. Barry refused to pay." Mpon being Informed that the bill bad not been sent back. Mr. Bookwalter remarked, with a slight smile:- ' Oh well, it will come ambling in some day.” f SENDS ADDITIONAL BILL FOR St I GO. The i#rk board lias sonfc an additional bill for $l6O for concert expense to the School board. This also ha* not been heard from. ’ Assurance that the board means to go right with the acquisition of a playground site at Fletcher anti Spann avenues was given a delegation from tho Southeastern Civic Improvement Club led by John F. White. A hearing upon the resolution for the acquisition of a forty-acre addition to Rhodius Park was postponed because It waa discovered all affected prop rty owners bad not been notified. A delegation from the Enterprise Civic League was told that the board ha# not swerved from its Intention of developing Rhodius Park into a fine property. The recreation department was in- . structed to open the Chrlstasnore Settlement building at Nineteenth street and Columbia avenue as a white community center. When the matter was brought urn Mr. Bookwalter said; “Here's Bnnquo's ghost again.” Both the present and former park boards have debated for months over what to do with tho building, which was purchased for the. former administration for $19.0110. Mr. Bookwalter described it as "an elephant on our hands,” and said that three times what it is worth was paid /or it. The building presents a problem because negroes and whites In the neighborhood are divided over whether it should be operated ns a center for blacks or whites. It will be tried out ns a white center and if attendance is low the negroes will be given a chanee #t It, it was said. Meanwhile tho bonrd has expressed Us Intention of building a negro community center somewhere near the neighborhood. ELLIOTT GIVES VIEWS ON KESI'RFACING.

ThimbleiThimble! By CONSTANCE CORNWALL

THE STORY TO DATE. Conversation betweep Philip Morell anil tlie Spanish woman, overheard 1 in a restaurunt by girl employes of the office of Lawrence Tilton, lhwyer, gives the attorney a clew to the plotters who We attempting to obtain possession of the Ilardcaster jewels, which are held by Lady Banister,, formerly Ilians Richmond, who before her marriage to Lord Banister, hud been a ward of Tilton. Following tlie dentil of Lord Banister, his brother, the Earl of Hardcaster, presents Diana |vlth the fondly jewels, said to ( be worth a half mllN lion. Diana brings the gems with her to her American home. After tlie death of the Earl of Hardcaater, a Spanish woman poses as his widow, follows Diana to # America, and demands the jewels with threats of arrest and exposure on charges of theft. Diana takes her troubles to Tilton, her erstwhile lover, who succeeds in uncovering the plot after unraveling numerous compilations. Go on with the story. CHAPTER Vlll—Continued ‘•That will be rfll, Frank,” he* said at last. "Grand Central. 5 By the way. send someone along wbo knows me. Send Ben All right, good-by.” As he passed through Miss Ellis' room an hour later, he looked like a different man; liea'd thrown back, shoulders erect,, and a gleam that was almost a smile In bis eyes. He had dallied with a dangerous matter because- he felt sensitive on Ill's account, but now he was like a war horse that scents battle. His common sense had resumed, and with it the undaunted courage that had furnished bis appellation of "Whirlwind.”^ He felt so sure of. success tljat hist art Vd Miss Ellis almost out of her wits by leaning across her desk as he passed and speaking as though nothing unusual had occurred, except that he had suddenly grown confidential. “Tonight, Miss Ellis,'' he said with as tirance, “will decide who is going to be Lady Banister’s second husband. : Whatever she I intend to whip that sleek hound, Morell, ac inch of his life, or he'll whip me.” Before Miss Elils could get her breath to answer: “Ob. do be curefui, Mr. Tilton;’’ the lawyer was out of the room and ringing the elevator bell.

CHAPTER IX. When the automobile that took Larry from the Ytajlin turned a corner in the r.tad about a mile from, the Richmond home, he saw a figure clothed in some light color, leaning against the tall sycamore tree at the end of the lawn. He j wondered whether there were guests at 1 the house, but as the machine drew nearer a closer view revealed 111, gazing Intently In his direction. As he neared the place where she stood he looked back, afraid to believe that he was the object of her scrutiny, ; but there was no one else on the road. This unwonted attention from his beloved made the lawyer’s heart bear in a way that threatened another attack Os foolishness. By the time he reached her side, however, he was outwardly cool and inwardly calm. He dismissed the car, instead of riding around to the front of the house, and walked across the lawn with Dl. - \ She hhd received him with a touch of tho old sweet familiarity, not exactly in words, hut a alight meekness of voice and fond clinging to ,Kis arm; also she showed an inclination to prolong the walk to the house He accommodated his lonjL-strides to her short steps, but still ,se told him nothing except that, her mother was in bed with a headache, and Tom had gone to the city. To his inquiry about Morell she returned that he , was out. Larry was keenly conscious of her pale cheek#; she seriousness around her mouth, and the heaviness In her eyes that denoted tears, or loss of sleep. Plainly something unusual was perplexing her; hut be 'ontrolled his anxiety, until she saw fit to explain. When they reached the door, Dl motioned to a maid, standing Just Inside the hall. “Have you been In to see my mother?" she asked. “I just looked In and she was still sleeping” the girl said. “Don't disturb her,” Di cautioned, “and when my brother returns serve dinner# and, Helen,” she called to the retreating girls, "have Mr. Tiltou’s bag put In the amber room.” The amber room, Tilton knew, wag a pretty suite situated between Dl's and her mother's, and was usually reserved for special women guests. He had never occupied It before. The threi rooms .were on the side of the house that overlooked the road from the railroad, aud the sycamore tfee. The windows opened on to a wide verbada, but they were not of the French style seen in so many onestoried houses; they were built fully! three feet front the floor, and below the windows camfortable lounges and chairs were arranged on .'the veranda. The windows could not have conveniently been used for entry nor exit for the rooms. “Let uh stay outside until dinner J tlme,”Tl suggested, and led the way to a rustic bench In the middle of the lawn ; that commanded a view of the northern road, also the one to the station, and both entrances to the house. "It was awfully nice of yon to come, Lorry,” Di as soon as they were seated. “Was the business you neglected very Important?” “Not nearly ns important as you are,” he said earnestly.

“But I-don’t want to appear selfish,” she protested. “Doii't think at out that, Di; my greatest pleasure is doing something for you; so you mustn’t feel you are putting any burden upon me,” he spoke fervently. Di appeared to be looking straight ahead, but she shot a furtive glance at the lawyer. “When you feel like telling me all about it, Just to relieve your mind and see if old Larrykins can’t straighten things out in a jiffy,” he said, trying not to show impatience, although he had never felt so eager for information. He deemed, however, there was no occasion' for quick action, as far as Di knew. She was evidently more nervous than alarmed. After a moment’s silence she dashed away a few tears that had begun to drop from her, lashet and In tJie most woebegone tones rihginable said: “Larry, Fill Is dead.” For a second Larry looked mutely at her. Surprise and joy made him want to say: “Is that all?” But it would have seriously offended Dl if he had. So he Just, stupidly echoed her words; “‘Flfi is dead!'” ‘Yes, she died this morning Kit 11 o’clock,” Dl said tragically. “Was she sick long?” Larry asked, mystified. “No. And, furthermore, she has*never been sick since I have had her,” DI explained. "Had she met with violence, os did „Bhe seem to have eaten something that disagreed with her?" Larry asked. “I don't know,” she returned slowly. “As far as I can see'N she has no broken bones.” v Something in her tones made the lawyer think that she had her suspicions. "If Flfi has met with foul play, she must have an-enemy,-which seems hardly likely," he said. As Di made no answer he went on: “It is quite possible, however, that someone had a motive for destroying her.” Dl looked up quickly, but when she found Larry’s eyes fixed intently upon her she avoided his gaze and repeated In puzzled tones that she didn't know. “Do you suspect any one, Di?” Larry ventured, i "No one That I would like to mention without proofs," she replied In the same sl*w tones. “What do you advise me to do about it. Larry?” “In this particular case, I would advise you to do nothing. Getting evidence Is like a game of hide-and-seek. It takes two to play it. When the person who has the evidence finds that nobody is seeking it .Ahere will be no purpose in hiding it, and we shall soon find (he culprit, thm-e is one.” (To Be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. By and by Taffy stopped stroking Buss Junior, and said in a kindly voice: “Well, my fine little cat, what can I do for you?” Buss J'unior didn’t know just what to answer. In fact, as he hadn’t come’ for anything, he couldn’t think of anything to fit the question. But little Tom Thumb, however, called over from where he was sitting in tae Welshwoman's lap, that they had come to' call, and that they were strangers in town, traveling through on a journey of adventure. “Did you hear what they say about me?” asked Taffy. “Yes, we did,” replied Buss, “but, somehow, I didn't believe it then; and I'm very sure I don’t believe it now.” “Bless you for that,” cried the little Welsh woman, “my Taffy is no thief. There has been a great mistake about it all.” * “Yes, that there has,” said Taffy, “but how can I prove it? Someone with a red beard stole the piece of beef from the butchermnn, and then they said It was I. But X was never near his place, nor did I lay bands on meat or/ marrow-bone.” At the moment there canle a loud knocking' at the front door, and when the little Welsh woman opened It, whom should she find but the buteherman him self! “Look what)l have brought to show you," ho snld, holding up a false red beard. “I fouud this behind a barrel In my shop. It’s very like your Taffy's beard.” At this the little Welshwoman opened her eyes very wide and tried to speak, but she was so surprised she couldn’t. Then the butcher went on to say that perhaps the man who wore this beard was the one who had stolen his beef. And then the little Welsh woman began to cry very softly, and the big butcher, who had. a very kind heart, said. “Don't cry, my good woman, I don't think now yoty: Taffy stole the beef, and that's the reason I've come all the wa/ up here to show you this beard. So you tell Taffy that I shall tell everybody In flown that it wasn't ho who stole my beef, but some thief who wore a red beard: and then. I’ll show them what I found In my shop, and that will prove what I say. Everybody will be glad #o know that Taffy Isn't to blame.” ' As soon as the butcher was gone, she flew upstair* to tell Taffy the gebd news. And It almost made Taffy cry. If he hadn't been a man, he would have. But it was hard work not to. Just the same. “My head feels better already,” he said with a laugh that had a big catch in it. “Take off the bandages, little woman. I’ll come down to supper, and these two small friends of ours shall spend the night with us, for they have brought us good luck today, that they have.” And in the next story yon shall hear what hawtened after that.—Copyright, 1922.

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income [The Hoopers, an average American family of hve, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell of the Daily Times how , the "many present-day problems of ; the home are solved by working on i the budget that Mrs. Hooßer 'has evolved and found practical. them dally in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet v the conditions of the high cost of ’ living with t FRIDAY. Mrs. Hooper hhd written the bank in Mayfield that she haff found that it would serve her purpose very much better if she had a, checking account in the bank at • Indianapolis instead of trying to do business with a bank as far away as Mayfield and the cashier wtfo had been a neighbor of theirs for*a great many years bad attended to the balancing of her account and the forwa/ding of a check for what remained of the thousand dollars which she ha'd deposited when the Mayfield property was mortgaged..^He also sent her a note of introduction to the cashier of the bank in Indianapolis so that when she went down her account she found a friendly person who i explained to her the special requirements | of his bank as to how large a balance she ' would be expected to keep, and, as Mrs. Hooper's knowledge of writing checks and of how to keep her bank book properly checked up was extremely limited he showed her a number of necessary things destined to keep her straight in this new field of domestic fipanceertng. She added to the check sent on vy the Mayfield bank the cash left over from several departments of her household budget which represented what rem'ainefi for several weeks for-clothing, operating expenses, shelter, savings, etc., and when her ?bank book was banded over to her it showed a deposit of $499. “You will find your housekeeping accounts very much simplified by the use j of checks in paying your bills I’m sure.” sa/d the affable cashier as he handed Mrs. Hooper her bright new check book, “but I hope you are not one of those women out checks so carelessly that It makes all sorts of complications for every one.” “As yon explain It,” remarked Mrs. Hooper, “it all seems so simple that I can't Bee how it would be possible to make mistakes about writing a check.” “Well, you’d be surprised at what absurd things women do In the matter of making out checks,” continued the cashier, “in spite of the fact that we think we have reduced the process to the very simplest form.” “Don't men ever make the same blunders?" asked Mrs. Hooper, ready to defend her sex.

“Not the same ones, and not so many," laughed the cashier, “they seem to taka the writing of a check more seriously I than a woman does, and they seldom | fail to date it and sign it and number 1 it. Scarcely a day goes by that we don't have a pile of checks written by ’ women that there is something wrong about the way they have been written. : Even'airhpn there isn’t enough wrong to hold up the cashing of checks It Is' the rare woman who has a perfectly kept cheek book, we have learned from experience.” “Well, I shall certainly train myself to be careful," said Mrs. Hooper, Smiling. “because I shouldn’t like to lose the privilege of a checking account after I had once acquired it.” "One thing you want to remember particularly, for your own convenience ns well as ours," continued the cashier, "is to number your checks and make a record of each one on the page provided for jt. Then keep it added correctly up to date *nd you won't be In danger of overdrawing your account or of thinking you have more money to your credit tba* you really possess.” - “My deposits will be very modest,” explained Mrs. Hooper. “My plan Is to use my fveekly income wjilch consists of my husband's weekly salary for onr living evpenses for which I pay cash, and then deposit the small sum I have left from tlmt amount every week which seldom amounts to more than twenty dollars and It Is sometimes less.” ' “That Is perfectly satisfactory to us,” the cashier informed her. “These small deposits amount up at the end of the year; and it Is the ofily way to really save money If you have It around the house there is the temptation to spend It.” “Well, that's a temptation I’ve never Indulged myself In, though I’ve had that weekly surplus around the house sor J nearly twenty years,” laughed Mrs. Hooper. “Besides." continued the cashier, "you never know when you might have money unexpectedly to add to your account as well as these weekly cash deposits.” “The first of tach month I’ll deposit a check for sl2iy as well,” said Mrs. Hooper suddenly remembering the rent of the Mayfield house. “Don't you plan to pay any of your accounts with checks then?” asked the cashier, to why she should want a checking account if she were going to pay her bills In cash. “Certainly, I am,” replied Mrs. Hooper. I “I shall pay my rent and the gas and I telephone ami water and electric light and insurance premium and things like that, but I shall keep >ouse on a cash basis__tho way I always have.” The menus for the three meals on Saturday are: BREAKFAST Apple Sauce Cereal Poached Eggs on Toast, Popovers Coffee LUNCHEON Baked Beans Brown Bread and Butter Canned Fruit Cup Cakes Cocoa DINNER Cream of Spinach Soup Fried Calves Liver and Bacon * Brown Gravy v Mashed Potatoes , Vegetable Salad Raisin Rice Pudding ORANGE AND NUT SALAD.
