Women Often Too Zealous to Aid Cause Writer Cites Instance of One Who Chose Task Too Great. BY JTXTA C. HENDERSON. That women ire oveT-xealous In a cause which they espouse Is laid at their door by many, and not without reason. Not haring been in the political game, and realizing and knowing what they represent la Just, and in many instances long delayed, by the male electorate, they at times allow their eager desires to tut sway with their best Judgment. The current number of the Woman Citl•en, in an article on “Your Business in Washington,'’ by Elizabeth K. Phelps Stokes Illustrates the point. Mrs. Stokes says: "Walking along the Senate corridors one day, I met a public-spirited woman who was much absorbed. It happened to be a day in the Senate when party strife was unusually tense, and the whole upper house was bound up to a man in an impending vote on an important measure. Nothing else was talked of, and there was general recognition of the fact little else could be handled until this particular vote had been taken. When I inquired of the public woman what her errand was, she told me earnestly she had set out to call personally on every Senator of the United States that day. or as many as was humanly possible, in the interest of birth-control legislation. She had been all but thrown out of several offices, but was undaunted. Mrs. Btokes further says: ‘‘This incident, like others of my experience, remain* with me as a perfect example of tfcj f.’.et many women active In politics ha>. ittle respect for a big party wind, and Lava an all-absorbing devotion to principle. It also serves me with an illustration of a certain lack of balance and relative values. "Birth control was a proper thing to be interested In,” says Mrs. Stokes. “Whether it was proper and efficient that day, in the face of the extreme tenseness and public clamor for a vote on vital legislation. Is another matter.” Despite this instance, related by Mrs. Stokes, of undue stress on a given subject at an inopportune time, which should be taken as an example of un-called-for action by women having a special cause to advance—women are learning fast the ways of doing things and can be counted on to be apt scholars in statecraft. They soon will learn —in fact have learned—when men are trying to evade a given measure and are using every mean to defeat the ends which women are striving to attain. That they will be insistent at such a time must be expected. The game is not all onesided one now. Discretion will be studied along with other things women must learn, now that she has become a fnll citizen and must assume responsibilities snd duties which heretofore have been of little concern to her. Women can be depended upon, in the large, even if there are some who become over-seaiuus in the cause which they have espoused.

IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

FIRST WOMAN IN HOUSE OF LORDS

Viscountess Rhondda, an English peer ess In her own right, Is the first woman to take her place 1n the House of Lord *. She began her contest for the seat in the house shortly after the death of her father. Lord Rhondda, food director in Great Britain in 1918. The title Vis countess came to her “by special privilige,” Lord Rhondda having no mi le heir. The committee of Peers was finally convinced that Viscountess Rhon dda had a right to Hit la the House of Lords, following he contention that the sex bar had died with the coming of suffrage. The privilege of sitting in the House was hitherto denied women in England.

PARENTS AS EDUCATORS *The Child’s First School Is the Family * —Froebel Property Rights of Ou r Children

BY EDITH KILAND CROSS. Are the property rights of our children respected in the home? Do we recognize their right to their things as we wish them to respect ours? These are questions which have come to cs in the training of our 2 and 4-year-old boys. Every one knows how strong is the instinct of possession, and how early It manifest': itself in the tendencies of littlo children. Our oldest son, Jerome. Is of a very cautious, deliberate nature prizing very highly everything that is given to him. So I decided, when he was 2 years old. to allow him to have one of the drawers in my own personal desk. It delighted the child, gave him a place to keep some of h!s own particular things, and at the same time aided his mother by keeping out of sight the hundred and one little Insignificant keepsakes so dear to the heart of a child. One look Into this drawer would assure you of the great necessity for such a place, for there we find all of his Sunday School papers strung with yarn Into a neat booklet. There, too, his small paper-covered books, such as the miniature set of the famous Jessie Wilcox Smith’s Mother Goose. Two tiny silver fish received at Sunday School for bringing in new scholars repose In the drawer, beside a small piece of an old bedspring given to him by a 10-year-old boy, his idol in the neighborhood. Toy paper money, Easter cards and Valentines, a box of nnts, bolts and washers for fixing his coaster wagon, scissors, crayon, bits of string, yarn, a blunt needle and a dozen smooth pebbles are but part of the miscellany in that drawer. Oeeassionaily, we clean out. the drawer, rearranging things and discarding those that have little value. This gives the child an idea of the present value of things, and he is the Judge, with only suggestions Q3 to what things shall be thrown out. One day, when other children were playing in the house with our boys, I noticed that Jerome became very nervous be'-au'e the children were rummaging through his drawer. At first I thought it very selfish of him. But I soon realized that that was his own very personal property, and other children, or even other members of the family, had no right there. Since then, playmates may always play with the many toys in the play corner near this desk, but they are not allowed to go through Jerome’s drawer without his permission. When brother John became 2, I gave him the lower drawer in the desk, and hls rights as owner are respected in the same way. Some of you may sey that this would tend to make selfish children, but In our case It has been just the contrary, for these boys are happy in that they know where their things are. And instead of having to hunt to the bottom of a basket of toys for some trivial thing, they go

It is quite a contrast to the old flag of brilliant green with the golden harp, which has been the emblem of the Irish people for so many years, and with which all are familiar. The guests of the club were Helen Sullivan with Florence Coffin, Josephlno Robinson with Frances Dillan, Elizabeth Fair with Mrs. Walter R. Mayer, Mrs. W. J. Herrington with Mrs. W. H.

Stockman’s Dinner Costs/Four Sheep’ This may sound humorous, but we all know it lan't. It is Just one of many Incidents that illustrate the way prices roll up along the route of food from producer to consumer. The story Is of a Wyoming stockman who recently shipped 12,000 sheep to Chieago. When he got his money he found after he had de ducted freights, commissions and other charges, he had left an average of 82 cents a sheep. Going to Chicago himself, he entered a restaurant and happened to order mutton chops. And when ho came to pay his bill he found he had eaten the j equivalent of four of his sheep.

Thimble! Thimblei By CONSTANCE CORNWALL

By a quick exchange of identical box or, while the thief's back was turned, Lawrence Tilton succeeds in obtaining the case of valuable jewels in the place of the box containing the body of Diana's pet dog, Hfl. The thief In the case, who was none other than Philip Morell, who had made himself a friend of the Richmond family, while serving as an accomplice of the Spanish woman, in a plot to obtain possession of the famous Hard caster family gems, Is thus foiled in his attempt to obtain the treasure. Instead of burying: the remains of Fill, Tilton inters the box of Jewels in the little if rave on the lawn. In the darkness Thillp Morell hurries away In a waiting: automobile, with his supposed treasure. He Is reported later, by Tom Richmond, to have boeu fatally Injured In a wreck, while trying to maks good his escape. Follow tho story from this point.

CHAPTER X—Continued “Jump in the car, Miss Parker. I'll ! drop you at your boarding bouse,” he j said. Turning to Di he took her hands jin his and-pressed them. “I shall not | be away longer than Is necessary, dear Don't wait up for mo if Tom comes I first.” i DI took Grace’s hand and courteously thanked her for taking so much trouble. ■ and Larry turned on the power. Just j then an immense headlight loomed up at tho turn of the road that came from ; the station, the nearest village and the I Country Club; the road upon which all visitors to tho Richmond home arrived. It was not a main thorofare, and as there was only one house north of them the | family were always interested in any : vehicle that appeared from the southern i direction. Tho road from which Grace had come connected with the State road half a miie distant. The girl had shown forethought and courage, j o r it was now dark, by crossing pasture*, a grain Hold and stream to gain time. “I’ll wait a minute; It might be Tom," Larry said, indicating the oncoming machine. Just then Helen came out to tho entrance of the garage, where Di was standing by the car, to say that Mrs. Richmond was awake and asking for her son. “Tell her I’ll be there In ft few minutes,” Di said, straining her eyes to see tho occupant of the car, which had turned la and was now close to the group. ’ Hello!” shouted the newcomer in querulous tones; "what are you all doing here?” “It's Tom," DI tTeathed in releived tones, "That sounds a* if yon didn’t expect me.” the young man replied impatiently. "I’m hungry as a hear. Where's mother?” “Where have yon been skylarking to; that's what we want to know?" Larry said with a tone of authority that made Tom look sharply at him. “You hare wi.rried DI almost into a state of hysteria. Only that your mother is in bed with a headache 1 don’t know whnt we should have done with her,” the lawyer added severly. “I don't see why you get angry before you hear what prevented me from getting home nt the expected time,” Tom said In injured tones. "I've been on a fine wild goose chase.” “Tell us all about it, dear,” Di said, loaning weakly on the gido of her brother's car. “If I’m to be of any use to Morell, I had hotter hurry, Larry said hastily. "I can hear Tom’s story when I return.” "What shout Morell?” Tom asked quickly, “is this another trick?” "What do you raban?” Larry demanded. “Morell bns met with an accident and I am going to see what can be done for him.” “Rubbish!” Tom exclaimed. "I have coine from just such n message. I got n tdebpone call at tho club at 3 o’clock to the effect that he had met with an accident at Ilampden; that’s twenty-two miles away. The person who called said he was being cared for in the drug store until I could call for him. When I got to Hampden I found he was not there and there had been no accident. Now what do you think of that? I have bad all kinds of delays. My gasoline gave out five miles from nowhere, a tire burst and I missed the road home. You can just put up your car and forget accidents.” Tom had spoken so fast nobody could interrupt him ; besides, his story was so astoutshing every one wnnted to hear it When he paused for breath Larry said: "This young girl, Miss Parker, has seen Morell lying on the roadside. She has come here to get assistance.” Tom peered into the car aud saw Grace j for the first time since his sudden arrivaL “Os course, if she says there has been an accident,” he said apologetically, “there must have been, but yon can see, after my experience, why I doubted it. I’ll go with you, Larry, if you want i mo to.” Larry had not dared to look at DI during the recital of Tom’s adventure in case she would demand an explanation of the thoughts he would be unable to conceal from her. The whole plot was clear to him. But how could he tell this highly sensitive woman that the man they had received into their home as an honored guest was a housebreaker, a burglar? The man who had eaten at their table and slept under

their roof for a number of weeks had destroyed Fifi so that she would not arouse the family at the after-dinner hour when they usually sat together in the library. He had sent the message to get Tom as far away from home as possible. A wave of repugnance at the thought of such villainy overcame the lawyer. He felt that to render first aid to such a rascal was more than he was capable of Besides, he had been watching an opportunity to dig up the box of Jewels and carry them to his room, until he could unseen return them to Di's room. He didn t like the idea of going away and leaving them. Morell must have an accomplice, and suppose he should have transferred the box to another before the accident and the trick played on them had been discovered? The thought made him go hot and cold. “Suppose you go without me. Tom,” he said abruptly, to the surprise of them all. “From what Miss Parker tells us I think the hospital will be the best place to take Morell. We have no one here to nurse him.” The young man was astonished that this plan met with no opposition from his sister, but he was anxious to satisfy his curiosity about Morell and also to be restored to Larry's good graces. All right,” he said willingly, springing into the seat vacated by tha lawyer. Larry leaned over to Tom and said under his breath: “Look out for a box that I believe Morell had in his possession when the accident occurred. It is very important,” he added in warning tones. Larry was thinking that if a box containing Fifl was secured the pet could be buried according to Di's wishes, and tho box containing the jewels put back into her wardrobe, and the distressing story concealed from her forever. Larry was beginning to look upon tho impulse, that prompted him to change the boxes as a carefully thought out plan—quite Judicial, in fact. While he was getting Tom's car Into the garage his mind was actively going over the consequences of an expose. A fight with a burglar, who was trying to steal the most wonderful collection of Jewels In the world, would create very little comment, but the fact that the burglar was a visitor whose name hao been mentioned by more than one as an aspirant for the hand of the beautiful LRdy Banister was unthinkable. Larry knew that the blow to DI and her mother would have been unbearable. He was quite sure that he could get Morell out of the country and tha family need never know the humiliating story. The lawyer had been so deeply concerned with his thoughts he had not missed Di. When he turned to come out of the garage she was nowhere in sight, “This Is my chance to dig up the box,” he whispered to himself, and hurried In tho direction where he had left the spade.

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. When Puss Junior and Tom Thumb awoke in the morning they were surprised to find their little beat fast aground on a sandy beach. "How did we get here?” asked Puss, sleepily, for it was still early in the morning, and the sun had Just begun to climb tip to the sky, and the dew dripped from the tall meadow grass that grew close to the water’s edge. “Through no fault of oars,” replied little Tom Thumb, with a laugh, “Captain Puss Junior fell asleep at the helm, and the first mate, Tom Thumb, did likewise," he added, running up to tha bow of the boat and looking over the land. “Why, it's au island,” he called out to Puss. "I can see water on the other side.” “You don't say so,” said Puss. “Well, let's land.” So they Jumped ashore and walked up the beach toward a clump of trees. “Pretty nice sort of a place," said Tom Thumb. “Let's play Robinson Crusoe? I'll bet your black man Friday. We ran bull Ia house under these trees, and as we have lots to eat on board ship, We can spend some time hers without danger of starving.” And just then, all of 6udden, a voice began to sing* “Poor old Robinson Crusoe! Poor old Robinson Crusoe! They made him a coat Os an old Nanny Goat; 1 wonder how they could do so! With a ring-a-ting, tang, And a ring a-ting, tang. Poor old Robinson Crusoe!" “Who’s that?" whispered Puss Junior. But he needn’t have asked the question, for Just then a man dressed all in skins came toward them. “Friends or enemies?” he asked. “Friends!" cried Puss Junior. Friends!” screamed Tom Thumb. “Welcome, theu, to my island. T am Robinson Crusoe! Puss and Tom were too amazed to answer for a few minutes. Then Puss Junior stretched out his right paw. saying “I’m very pleased to meet you, Mr. Crusoe.” “And so am I,” said little Tom Thumb, standing on tiptoe and reaching up his hand. ‘Well, you’re certainly ns welcome ns the flowers In May,” said Robinson Crusoe. “Visitors are few and far between. Come with me to my house," and in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1922.

I “It Is certainly a splendid scheme.” she said, “and I wouldn't be surprised if i Helen's friend's mother is someone I’d j like very much to know if she has any more inventions like that.” ; “But what is it, Mary?” asked Henry impatiently. “I hope it is something | that can be made quickly whatever it is before we have any more such cold food i in this dining room.” i “I’ll go right downtown tomorrow and buy the materials,” replied Mrs. Hoope* smiling. “I'll first get several sizes of ! cheap tin pang such as they sell In ail : 5 and 10-cent stores and even in tha stores where you buy tinware they have these cheap tin pudding or baking pans. Then in the store where you buy hard* ware snd household accessories you can i buy little tin knob handles that have ; square rivet fasteners Y'ou turn the pan upside down and find the center of it. : punch a hole through with an awl, push the little handle through the hole, screw it up tightly with the little rivet and yon have a bright shining cover with a handle that sets tightly over dishes to which you fit them.” “An inverted tin pan is all it is then, with a handle on if,” remarked Mr. Hooper, rather skeptically. “Exactly,” replied Mrs. Hooper, “but j looking quite as bright as silver and the little handles are metal so that they ought to look rather nice as well as being perfectly serviceable—that I know." “Pretty cheap looking, I should say,” scoffed Roger. “We’d better go on hav* i ing cold toast, I think.” “Or else buy anew electric toaster,” argued Henry. “We will do neither,” declared Mrs. Hooper. “Helen and I will proceed at once to make a set of covers of three different sizes—one of a pan large enough to cover that Ug round platter, another , to cover that dish the size of a dinner plate and a still smaller size for dishes | not so large.” "And there are little ova! pans, too, : this girl says, that fit over, small platters,” said Helen bursting to add mere information. “I’d Uke to know how you expect to get tho handle exactly in the center,” said ; Roger, “and just a hairs breadth off center and your cover will be a mess. How do you think you’ll find the middle of the pm perfectly mother?” he asked quizzically. “Oh I know that, too,” shouted Helen excitedly. “I forgot to tell you mother. You put the pan right side up on a sheet of paper and draw a circle around the mottom of 1. Cut out the circle of paper—fold it into four exact quarters and crease it and when you unfold it the center Is marked. Then spread it on the bottom of the pan and punch the hole right through the center of the paper andl all." “Yes, that’ll do It all right," said Rogeg grudgingly, “I didn’t suppose a woman would think of that.” The menus for the three meals Wedne** day is: BREAKFAST Orange Juice Cereal Brown Vegetable Hash Popovers Coffee LUNCHEON Creamed Chipped Beef Baked Potatoes Jam and Sweet Pickles Gingerbread Cocoa DINNER Green Pea Soup Salmon Cakes Mashed Potatoes Creamed Carrots Lettuce Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding
