THIRD ANNUAL LEAGUE SESSION IS ATTRACTIVE 'Large Attendance of Delegates Who Are Enthusiastic Over Program. LAFAYETTE. In<L. May 10. The third annual convention of League of Women Voters opened with the enthusiasm of large crowds of delegates and local visitors and the presentation of an unusual program for the opening night. The point of view of the women and the relation of the League of Women Voters to political parties was Illuminating set forth by Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of the National League of Women Voters, who arrived in Lafayette Tuesday afternoon from Washington for this meeting. Mrs. Park's feminine appearance and charm of manner disarmed those in the audience who might have thought of the League of Women Voters as an aggressive force under militant leadership. MBS. BEARDSLEY IS NOT PRESENT. The pleasure of the convention was lessened by the -announcement that Mrs. A. H. Beardsley of Elkhart. Stafe president. was detained by a death in her family circle and would not be able to preside over the first sessions of *h" convention. She sent a greeting which was read, and in this announced her in teatlon of being in Lafayette as soon as , ptssible. In this message he asked Mr. E. A. Gould, third vice president of the Indiana league, to preside over the opening night and Mrs. Walter Greenough. ] fourth vice president of the Indiana , league, to preside over the Wednesday sessions of the convention until she herself conbl arrive. Mrs. Gould called rhe meeting to order and read tne announcement from Mrs Beardsley.

PROGRAM FOLLOWS MCSICAL NUMBERS. After musical selections from local artists the program roceeded *in the regular order. The children of rhe local arrangements committee, Mrs. T. A. Stuart, briefly welcomed the visitors, saying: "We all welcome voir- those of us ho have kept in close touch with the work elsewhere and those of us who are just beginning to associate ourselves with it. We have had the cooperation of this convention of many men and women who do not know much about the league, but who are glad to have you here and who are ready to learn from what you bring. "To some of us this meeting comes like a long cherished dream. Now before us in rhe next few days will be spread out that varied pattern of the league— what it is and what it does—that ’tapestry' as Mrs. Park calls it. into which is woven so much of women's hopes and plans and cbilitics. “It means a great deal to the Lafayette League to have the State convention here. We rejoice in the opportunity to welcome women from ail parrs of the State. We want you to' know ar.d love Lafayette. We want you to appreciate Ihirduv and the services it renders to nil clashes of people We hope now you hace found rhe road, you will come again.'' ADDRESS OF MRS. MAI DE WOOD PARK. Mrs. Gould then introduced the ns tional president. Mrs. Maude Wood lark, who said in part: “Women as voters are in the first flush of youth. Youth is ordinarily the period of enthusiasm and enthusiasm can sometimes leap over obstacles that laborious ■ •are has been unable to remove. Perhaps that is why we are so hopeful .-.bout what we can do. "Our faith must needs rest upon three convictions: First, the belief that when a majority of the voters are intelligently and actively Interested it* public affairs, good government is assured, for the r e a_ son that good government i plainly to ihe advantage of the vast majority of men and women; second, that women are particularly able to help at this tint because. with the enfranchisement of kO *lO."00 women voters there Is the greatest opportunity this country or any other ba ever known to train to the activities of good citizenship an enormous number of persons who. on the whole, are well meaning and realize that they have much to learn. The third conviction is that by men and women working together things necessary for the human race can be accomplished. "We have done nationally a few things that are important: In the States and local communities we ha*e done many more; hut our real success is measured not by any one thing or any hundred things that we may do. It is measured by the extent to which we are able to bring women voters—and it may be men voters as well-to assume the full duties of good citizenship. An interesting feature of the Wednesday morning session of the convention was the reports of the organization department, of which Mr*. E. A. Gould, third vice president, is chairman. In her brief introduction of the district , chairmen Mrs. Gould called attention to the big achievement of the league for ! the year which bad be n accomplished ! by the cooperation of ali departments 1 working together for the - passage of constitutional amendment No. 1. which mad" It necessary for all voters of In-.; diana to be citizens of the I'uited States

CALLS ATTENTION TO NATIONAL GOAL. Mr3. GnuM then called attention to the goal set by the national for all State organization departments of at least one strong tensile In on.-], congressional dis- ' rict with the recommendation thas when that was accomplished they should try to secure a strong league in each county. The reports whi*b followed showed much more than the National Standard roa-hrd t y Indiana, because ea‘ h district showed from four to eight counties organized and in many counties four and five leagues. The chairmen for the thirteen districts are: Mrs. Edward Kiefner. Evansville: Mr. Cheater Evans. Blooming ton; Mrs; H. O. Long. North Vernon: Mrs. A. Brown. Clay City: Mrs. Christian Ebv. Connersville; Mrs. Isaac Born. Indianapolis; Mrs. Ella B Kehr-r. Anderson; Mrs. John Roush, Frankfort: Mrs. Ora Thompson Ross. Rensselaer: Mrs. E A. Gould. Peru: Mrs. Maude Murray. Helmer, and Mrs. J. J. Littrell. Elkhart. The Sixth- and First were the banner districts with every county organized with leagues In each county and functioning county chairmen. All of the district chairmen reported having visited the majority of their leagues and having taken an active part in the State work. The Twelfth district reported an unusual venture for one of the leagues which had specialized on good roads meetings and Cad raised enough money to buy bonds to build a five-mile road and solicited a cement factory to build a one-half mile cement rnr.d through the town. The other outstanding feature of the reports was the variety of things relating to good government and welfare activity which the local leagues are undertaking. Ail of them reported cooperation with the State program, obtaining the amendment and helping with the operation of the school attendance law and the work of the probation officer. MORE FRINGE. The fringed effect so popular in tweeds this spring is being used on the white flannel skirts for summer. Other loose weave materials have yarn designs woven in by means of big stitches. COLORED SANDALS. Fashionable shoes for wear with sum- .# dresses are kid sandals. They come in delicate pink, green, red. blue, or practically any desired shade. They have low heels, but light, flexible soles-

CHAPTER XVll—Continued. i She'- pressed her lips tight. ! "I'm not going to tell —yet. You've | got to do something for me first. I'm in trouble— ’’ she was speaking rapidly j now, the words flooding over her lips j between gasps, her eyes set, her bauds knitting. ! "He ran away and left me for three i days. The fire went out—my baby—" | hysterical laughter broke from her dry ' lips— "My baby died/and still he didn't ■ come. He—■” | "Agnes:"' Houston grasped her hands. "Try to control yourself! Maybe he couldn't get back. The storm “Yes. the storm! It's always the I storm." Then she halted, for the briefest part j of a moment, to become suddenly madly j cajoling, crazily cunning: I “Listen. Barry. Y'ou want to know i thfncs F can tell them to you- oh. so many of them. I'll tell them too—if you'll only do this for me.' It's my baby—my baby. Won't you promise for I me? Take h*r to a priest—please. Bar ; ry—and have her buried in hallowed i ground. Won’t you. Barry? Do you i want me to die too— or do yoi/ want ; me to live and tell you why I did the : things I did? I>o you want to know who 1 was back of everything?, I didn't do it ’ for myself. Barry. It was someone el#>—l'll- help you, Barry, honestly I'll help you." “About the murder?” Houston was leaning forward now, tense, hopeful. But the wotaan shook her head. "No—the lease, and the contract. I'll help you about that—if you'll help me. Take my baby—■*' The man rose. “TO promise. Agnes If you want to help me afterward, well and Tf not —you 3re free to do as you plpasc.” The woman had raised eagerly. 'Then look in a box in the t**p drawer. You'll | find a orticifl.v. They—they might wan* ; to put it on her." In a mass of tangled, old-fashioned j jewelry, he found the crucifix, its chain | broken and twisted, and placed it in a 1 pew ket. Then he turned to the grimmer; task—and the good-by. A hair hour later, white-featured, his arms cupped gently about a blanket wrapped form, he j stepped forth into the storm, and l end ing jjgairi>t the wind, turned toward the rnilroatf in obedience to the hazy direc tions of the sotbing woman he had left : behind.

The sncw;fail was lighter now: he could find his way more easily. Black splotches aeainst the snow, two figures suddenly had come out of the sweeping veil a girl and a man. Something akin to panic seized Houston. The man was Lost Wing. The girl was Me daine Robinette. Medaine'- eyes went with womanly inst;m t to the bundle in his arms ‘A baby:" There was surprise in her tone. Forgetting for the moment her aversion to the man himself, she came forward? touching rhe blankets, then lifting one edge ever so slightly that she might peer beneath. “Where did you find it? Whose is it?” Houston sought vainly for words And the words seem to come unbidden; "Does it matter?” “Os course not.” She looked at him! queerly. "I merely thought I could be of assistance.” ‘You can. Tell me where I can find a priest—the baby "is dea l.'" “Oh!” Sl.e touched (he bundle ever so softly. “1 didn't know " Then with a sudden thought: “fUit Imr mother. She must need ” "Only a doctor. I wili try to get Ra tis to to cotne out." “But. couldn't I "I'm sorry." He Pit that be was miring himself hopelessly. He wanted to tell rhe truth, to ask her aid. to send her back into the woods to the assistance of the stricken woman there. But he could not frame the request. Instead. ' I I tell You. I've given a woman my word. She wouldn't understand- if you went there. With Ba'tiste. It is different, n.- is a doctor. He has a right. 1-1- ” “1 understand.” eame quietly, and in those two words Houston felt that her opinion had been formed: that to her. be was the father: the quiet form in his arms his own child' "You ar? asking something almost impossible. The nearest prle-t is at a settlement t ear t'restine " ‘Vresfline ?" Houston instinctively turned toward the hills, a bleak, forbidding wail against the sky. "Will you lend me Lost Wing to run an errand? ! want to got Ba tiste —for her.” "Certainly,” She spoke to the Indian in Pioux then and drew away. Houston, pointing with bis head, instructed the redskin. j The Sioux started on. soon to be en I gulfed in the swirling veil of the storm. ; Barry tuned again to the girl. "Just ore more request: I can’t carry 1 the child up there—this way. Will you j help strap her to my park?” Silently she assisted him the grim j task of mercy. Then: "Do you know the Pass?" He shook his head. She tapped one glove against the other. “It is impossible then. Y'ou— ” "I'll make it some way. Thank you—for helping m'e." He started on But she called him : back. "It's dangerous—too dangerous." and there was a note of pity in her voice. 'lt's bad enough on foot when there's no snow—if you're not familiar with it. I " 'Tell me the way. Perhaps I could find It. It's not for myself. I made a promise’ to the child's mother. I'm afraid ’ she’s dying '* Anew light came into the girl's eyes, a light of compassion, of utmost pity, Slowly she came toward Houston, then bent to' tighten the fastenings of hey snowshoes “I know the way." came quietly. "I 1 have been over it in summer and winter. I will show you." "Y'ou! Medaine! T—l—beg pardon.’’ l The outburst had passed his lips almost before he realized it. "Miss Robinette, you don't know what you’re saying." 1 ”1 know the wav." she answered, with- j out indicating that she had heard his re j monstrance. "I am glad to go—for the sake of—” She nodded slightly toward the tenderly wrapped bundle on the pack "I would not feel right otherwise.” CHAPTER XVIII. An hour found them in the hills, plod- ■ ing steadily upward, following the j smoother mounds of snow which' indicated heavy, sc are drifts. As they went' higher and. the wind beat against them with its hail of splintered' ice particles. Houston saw her heavily gloved hands go to her face in sudden pain and remain there. The man went to her side.

J he brought forth a heavy bnndanjia handkerchief and tied it about "her face as high as possible without shutting off the sight. Her eyes thanked hint. They went on "A mile more." She said no more. He nodded in answer and extended a hand to aid her over a slippery stretch of ice-coated granite. The snowfall ceased, to give way jto spasmodic flurries of driving white. Anil it was In one of the moments of quiet that Medaine pointed above. Five splotches showed on the mountain side—the roofs of as many cabins; the rest of thorn were buried in snow. No smoke came from the slanting chimneys; no avenues were shoveled to the doofrways. "Gone:" Houston voiced the monosyllable. “Y'es. Probably to Crestline. It’s too late to turn back nw." She looked at him queerly. then turned away. At last they reached the cabins There was no wood: he tore the clap boards from a nearby cabin and the tar paper from the wind swept roof. Five minutes later a fire was booming: a girl tired, bent shouldered, her eyes drooping from a sudden desire fer sleep, huddled near It. Houston walked Jtn the pack and took food. “I shall be in the next cabin—awake." “Y'es. I'd rather—keep watch." "But there is nothing—" “Illness—-a snnwslide—a fresh drift I would led easier In mind. Good night.” Then with his snowshoes and ids pack of death, he went out the door, to plunge through another drift, to force his way into a cabin, and there go suddenly , about the duties of comfort. The wind swept night became windswept dawn, to find him still grim and drawn and haggard with sleeplessness and fatigue Then he rose at a rail from without: "Are you ready?" He affixed the park. Together they went on again, graceless figures In frozen clothing, she pointing the way, lie aiding her with his strength, in the final battle toward the summit of the range—and Crestline. Noon. And a half-erv from both ot them, a burst of energy which soon faded For above was Crestline—even as the little settlement had been—

Roofless houses met them, stacks of f rumpled snow, whefe th. beam* had cracked beneath the weight of high piled drifts; staring, glassless window's anu rooms filled with white. Gloomily Houston surveyed the desolate picture, as la-t to turn to /the girl (Continued in Our Next Issue.)

HE germ of erysipelas is the groundhog among germs. It gets heqeatb the skin through a cut or scratch and burrows its way around. The erysipelas germ locates Just beneath the skin In the coarser tissues which, since it is so loose and full of open spaces, permits the germ to pass from

place to place unhindered. The local symptom of the presence ot j the germ Is the reddening, thickening, raising and heating of the skin. Whether the patient suffers generally and has a fex’er. impaired digestion and delirium, depends on the condition and sensitive- ! ness ot the individual. The usual location of erysipelas is the | fare. Ir is the most dangerous part of ! the body on xvhi"h to have the disease! because the germs may wander into the passages communicating with the brain and set up meningitis (hraln fever) or, some other fatal brain trouble. Sometimes fallal erysipelas is caused by an infection of the tonsils passing i upward along the mucous membrane and out through the nose to the tissues underlying the skin <>f the cheeks. Another ! common cause Is the scratching of the face with dirty finger ninis. The gertns cannot break through healthy skin, so to take the disease from someone suffering from it or from infeeted objects, one must either cut or prick the skin, which permits the germ to go beneath if, or one must breathe the germ in against broken or diseased skin of mouth, nose or throat. Fur people under 40 the mortality from this disease is low, but for those ox-ei this age It Is inereasingly fatal with the years. The disease is exceedingly contagions. Therefore, everything that comes in contact with the sick person should be carefully sterilized before being used by , other people. One of the chief dangers of ihis dis- ! ease is the fact that few people realize this contagiousness and they therefore I allow the patient to pass freely about the house, handle all sorts of articles, breathe Into the faces of the family and oat at the table with the rest of the*, family.

"Look at that funny little woman!” Raggedy Andy whispered to Raggedy Ann. “Fve been watching her come along the path!' Raggedy Ann replied. ‘‘.Something seems to be bothering her!” The queer little woman was only about an Inch and a half high and come walking along in a jerky sort of way until she came to Raggedy Ann's foot -then looking up. she saw the two dolls smiling at her. "Why are you laughing at me when my finger hurts so much?” the little woman asked. "We can't help it!” Raggedy Anri replied. "Our smiles are painted on and can't come off until they wear off!" "Well! My finger hurts very, very much!" the queer little woman said. "We are very very sorry i” Raggedy Ann said, "How did you hurt your finger ? “I live over in the deep woods filled xvith Fairies n everything," the queer little woman said. "And in bark of my house I have a darn shell. I do my washing ‘n everything. And 1 have a sign there which reads. "No swimming here." but the little elves come there anyhow and swim when I am away from home and it makes-me very angry!" "Do they make the rain water muddy?” asked Raggedy Ann. "Os course non!" the queer little woman answered. "But it is my clam shell and I don't want anyone else to use it!" “Ham!" Raggery Ann mused. "And you hurt your finger on the clam shell!” "No I didn't” Hie queer little woman answered, "i caught one of the Elfin boys swimming in try pond and I shut him itp in an acorn for a week.

IVggins!" came my husband's patient voice. - "till, yes! There must be! Try again!" I came out of my meditation, suddenly appalled by the knowledge that if Jack had no clean shirt to put on it was all my fault! 1 had not been at home when the laundry man rang, I hadn't been at home for two weeks in succession, or was it three? It was it was! No wonder Jack was short of skirts and collars! He must have noticed his dwindling stock ami said to himself that he would get along somehow! I had managed very badly, and Jack had not complained. ' And now he was reduced to his last shirt! And the huge bundle of soiled linen had not even been sent out of the house! Many a bride has committed this identical crime, pone perhaps ever paid for it with more remorse than I. Dear old misused hubby! His mother had never neglected him that way. I knew. But Jack was not a husband to hurl his mother’s biscuits at his wife. I wanted to explain about the laundry, to tell Jack how terribly sorry I felt when this unfortunate speech floated from the dressing room . ‘This settles it! I'll be late keeping my appointment?" T knew- perfectly well that Jack was' kidding me, teasing a little, it was his way of saving my feelings, of making me laugh when I felt crying, but the situation didn't appeal tit'me as one bit j funny.

Fluffy Ruffles for Girl Graduates Already, no doubt, nil over this fair land of ours, thousands perhaps millions, of hectic conferences are being held, with grammar school girls gravely considering the graduating frocks, and anxious mothers, B'unts and cousins offering council. Os course there are always ruffles for young girls, and unless they are extremely pudgy little girls, the crisp ruffles are bound to be becoming, lending a youthful and flower like look of festivity to the young wearer. And white organdie, of which three-fourths of this season's graduating frocks will undoubtedly be made, seems almost to beg to be ruffled. Yet there is a distinct rival to the ruffled frock this spYlng and that is the almost severely tailored frock. Tiny tucks, fagottiug. or pivot edges are about all the frivolity some of the smartest Junior models allow Themselves this spring. White organdie, dotted swiss and other of the very fine novelty cottons will be used extensively for graduation frocks, net and lave will also be seen, and doubtless some finely pleated crepes de chine will be worn, though tradition rather favors cotton or the very finest of handkerchief linen frocks above any of the silks'for this one occasion in the little girl's life. / One lovely all-over lace frock was seen, with white sntiu bindings instead of hem at the bottom of the skirt, arm openings and neck: a narrow string belt made of the satin tied carelessly at one side of the front and was absolutely the qnlv The lace was worn over a white crepe de chine slip.

WOMENS CLUBS PLAN TO HOLD WORLD PARLEY General Federation Proposes Conference on International Relations . N BY CONSTANCE DKEXEL. WASHINGTON. May 10.-Though American men may fear to tread oa such dangerous ground. American xvnnien, thousands strong, xviil walk right into a “world parley," if plans of the General Federation of Women's Clubs materialize. "Asa member of the advisory commission of the Washington conference, Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, president of the Federated Club Women of America, is conceded to be one of the world's leading authorities on international relations. .Since it is upon international relations that the peace of the xvorld hangs, this topic is to be a leading one at the great gathering of women from all sections of the world, the biennial convention of the General Federation of Women’s Chibs'; to be held at Chautauqua. N. Y.. from June 20 to 30." was the forecast gixen to the writer today at the new nations] headquarters of the federation. The house is a handsome private residence of some twenty-live rooms with a sweet gardeu and a low garage in the back which will be turned into an attractive tea room. Located within a block of the British Embassy, like most Washington residences rhe house has not missed its interesting occupants. Built by General Nelson A. Miles, It xvas the residence of Mrs. John J. White, who now makes her home in New Y'ork. but is prominent in the Washington doings of the National Woman's Party and of rhe Women's International League. More recently it has been occupied by tho Czecho -Slovak legation. At present the house is usod as federa tion headquarters only for adminlstratioa offices, xvith Miss Lida Hafford, National director, in charge. But soon all the bedrooms, sixteen in number, xvil) be available for visiting clubwomen. The big assembly room has already served a useful I urpose—last Monday when the xvomen't I joint congressional committee had ita meeting there. But to return to the biennial convention. which the “Gensral Federation News," just off the press, says is to bo a "world parley.” It w in* follow- closely upoo the heela of the Tan American Women's Conference in Baltimore. Mrs. Horace Mann Toxvnr. wife of Representative Towner of lowa, and chairman of the new federation committee on international relaticus, and Mrs, Charles Evans Hughes, hi aorary chairman of the same committee, are expected to be prominent speakers * n the international program. Raymond Robbins of Chicago xviil speak June 29 on "Tae Outlawry of War. the Next Step in World Civilization." Within the past month national conventions of four women's national organizations have passed resolutions on this subject—University Women of Ameri'a (formerly the A. C. A i. at Kansas City: I-eague of Wosne’n Voters, at Baltimore \\ W. A., at Hot Springs. Ark., cud Women's International League, at Washington. Among other noted speakers on other topics scheduled f**r the biennial convention as forecasted today, are i-euator Thomas Sterling of South Dakota, chairman of Die Senate Committee on Civil Service, on "outlook for Civil service in the United States" on the program of .'Ji’v. Imogene B. Oakley, civil Service Com mission. The subject of citizenship will be presented by Commander MacNider of the American Legion. Bishop ciiuton S. Quinn, coadjutor of th** diocese of Texas, and Miss Jessie Burrall of Stephens Junior college. Columbia. Missouri. Will H. Hays is to present his ideas < f the motion picture industry, and Dr. George W Vincent, president of the Rockefeller Institute. New York, xviil talk on "W,*men and Public Health.” It is said that Chautauqua van take • •are of lo.OuO delegates and visitors to the convention. With such an array ol speakers and subjects already in viexv it is safe to predict this year's biennial will he the largest and most important ever held.

STYLES GO 'BACK TO METHUSELAH 9 IN DESIGNING BY MARIAN HALE. We are willing to give Shaw the credit for starting tlie genera) "Back to Methu* selnh" movement, but it is the ladies, bless Ynf who are carrying it on. To be modern, you must be antique. This refers to your clothes, not yocx features. Faces are s'ill being wora young, and the adolescent figure era* tin ties to prevail. But in your garments yon must caps tore the antiquity of bygone dynasties and the quest for your summer outfits may lead you to haunts hitherto Itnfre, quented by fashion seekers. If you are conservative you may gd back only to the Middle Ages for copies. Or the native togs of India, Persia ox Russia may seem remote enough. In this case, your task is a simple ones Just go to any antique dealer, or Oriental rug merchant. He will sell you a square foot of some old embroidery for the price at which you once bought enough for a whole bed spread, and you and your dressmaker can get together and repeat that on your gown until it is covered.. But being conservative never got any woman stared at on the Board Walk at the Ritz. So if you really want to achieve something startling try to .go back to the dawn of history for your inspiration. And that leads you to the nearest museum. Time was when a museum was a quiet restful place. Now. if you feet the urge to hold communion with a mummy you must get up in the morning. For the Egyptian room now looks like a bargain counter at 10:3b. Before every article that has even the fragment of a design you will find a cluster of artists, drawing boards and palettes in hand, copying patterns with feverish z.'.al On the sidelines are waiting Ml take their places. Some want the designs for their own use. but most are copying ,them for textile manufacturers. Machines and dyes are waiting for them. The other day at the Metropolitan, ia New York, as 1 was musing on the scene of activity. I looked over at the coffin, alleged to hold the mommy of the once beautiful Ta Bek en-Khonsu. who departed this life some thousands ,pf years a go. ’t I saw a sight that chilled niv blood. For there was the ancient lady herself, standing calmly beside her coffin, looking about her with the calmness one could scarcely believe of someone just reincarnated after so long a sleep in such close quarters. r How young she looked—and how ft, miliar! Then my brain recovered its equili* brum and functioned. Ta-Fek en-Khonsu had come to life, but she was reincarnated in the modern flap, per! Her bobbed hair and close turban gave her the correct head line of the girls who made the old Nile popular. Her skin was of the dusky, brown tropical tint, made possible by use of the new vermilion and brown powders. The-black line she had added about her eyes followed ' the narrow straight orb of Cleopatra rather than that of the nor mnl eve nature had give her. And verily, the 1!)22 model flapper who stood by the Egyptian coffin looked more like the ancient Ta-Bek-eu Khonsu thM she did like herself!
