Our First Year Chapter XLl—Flapper Audacity! BY A BRIDE.

Chaos prevailed in the auditorium of the Little Flayhouse as always at rehearsal. The original barn, once a vast and elegant shelter for a rich man's carriages, had been improved by the addition of a stage. This wing was Mr. Tearle's first contribution to the dramatic art of ills city. At the entrance of the auditorium, Jeanne detained me. "Entrancing as always,” she exclaimed. "Better than the play.” The chairs of the auditorium were piled high against the walls. All the activities incident to staging a drama were in progress. Two sewing machines had been put In the best light ami two Norse maids, belonging to the Viking cast, set them to whirring madly during-every pause in the rehearsal. The costumes for all parts were designed and made by members of the company. Below the stage, stood a pressing board placed horizontally on two chair backs, the liatlron connected with a socket in she footlights And upon the ironing board rested the director's megaphone, also the director's elbows, while he listened to the actors on the stage. 1 suppose Judge Ballou never before had been in touch with a laundry utensil. Scattered in heaps upon the floor and tossed over chair hacks were half finished costumes tint! a quantity of uncut flannelette of all colors, and scores of water color designs. Suddenly Jeanne exclaimed: “Look at Bonny 1”

"I don't see how anybody could overlook her!” I replied. “She's the most astonishing note in this amazing Jumble!" "She’s dressed for a dance,” whispered Jeanne. 1 murmured that from our point of view she hardly seemed to be dressed at all. That audacious flapper was seated at* a kitchen table, a stage "prop," which the publicity people had requisitioned for a writing desk. "What's she up to?” queried Jack. “Addressing envelopes, announcements of the production," I told him. "Looks absorbed, doesn't she? Well, sha isn't. Bonny Tesrle Is perfectly conscious this niinutp that you are talking about her. that George Bradshaw doesn't take his eyes off from her, that her evening cloak lias slipped from her shoulders, and that the only bits of her covering on view above that kitchen table are those rhinestone suspenders.” Fifty persons worked in the rehearsnl or worked for it or watched it that night. One hundred pairs of eyes gazed straight at Bonny when she rose to greet our party. She came, half running, a mere child In figure and gesture. But —that awful dress! Amazement made Jeanne and I almost rude. In any normal social era it would have taken a young matron of 30. one with a lot of poise, sophistication and social prestige to get away with that dancing gown. And Bonny was only 16! Her skirt was short and not very full. Her bodice was of silver cloth coming to an upward point in the middle of the front, barely as high as required; to each side of the point was attached a string of rhinestones laid on black velvet straps which went over her shoulders and fastened to her skirt at the belt. They coultl not have been attached to the waist In the back, for there was none. The silver bodice sloped low under the arms nnd tapered to nothingness behind.—Copyright. 1922. (To Be t'ontlnnpd.)

SAYS WOMEN OF CUBA DESERVE HIGH PRAISES Island Resident, on Home Visit, Tells of Present Conditions. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, May 13.—-With the detailing of General Crowder on special mission to Cuba, that neighboring coun-( try hns been a source of interest for tome months past. Sent by the State Department to Havana as an assistant to General Crowder, was Mrs. Edith B. Newman, who had resided in Cuba many years before. She was detailed to translate the laws Issues by the special and regular sessions of the Cuban congress. And now she is back for a visit to her homeland and in Washington to attend the dedication services of the new National Woman's Party headquarters on May 21. Kite brings greetings from Senora Malien De Ostolaza, the veteran suffragist worker of Cuba, by whose efforts a woman suffrage bill was passed by the Cuban congress on May 3. Asked to throw some light on present conditions in Cuba, with special emphasis on the position of women. Mrs Newman praised Cuban women to the skies but sent the Cuban man to an ignomiuous back seat. “The women of Cuba are clever, resourceful and strong mentally, once the element is removed,” she told the writer when seen at headquarters of the National Woman’s party. “The men, on the contrary are, on the whole, untrained • and Incapable of assuming responsibility or even to be depended on in smaller matters, vain and egotistical, with no qualities to Justify vanity or egotism, So when the Cuban woman is wholly awake to her possibilities and has cast off the last remnant of the sex shackles she has so long borne, we may look for something worth while in Cuba." The opinion atove expressed was incorporated in a statement prepared by Mrs. Newman for the writer, in which, she continued: I “The nearness of Cuba to our own great country, the admiration and respect, al though grudgingly given in many cases, which our systems command, have had their part in effecting changes in public opinon in Cuba. The commercial and financial life of Cuba's capital is Increasingly American, and English is spoken quite generally. This is but the beginning and the harvest is not yet in sight. I “The new viewpoint is being absorbed . by the feminine element, as it is reason ably to he expected after the long years j of Turkish harem existence dealt out to ; former generations. More and more fain i ilies are sending their children, both | boys and girls, to schools of the United ! States. And in the University of j Havana, women of Cuba are now eligible ,to all courses, none closed to her. Into the commercial life the less trained ele- , ments are coming, taking smaller clerical j positions and doing creditable work, j “Recent legislation has lifted many j disabilities of the married woman, par , ticularly that of huddling her own propj.erty, entirely independent of her hus--1 band's intervention. This law' as passed I during the war.” | ' As for tiivorce, that, strange to say. ; has been made easy. “Through a law- ini troduced in the House by Dr. Prestes | Ferrera and finally enacted into law four j years ago,” continued Mrs. Newman. ; "the unequally' yoked may. without weeks of scandal and unwholesome notoriety. by mutual consent or reasonable grounds, be given an interlocutory decree of divorce binding after the lapse of a year. This divorce law was passed in spite of the united protests of the priests of the Roman Church, and even I in the face of loud protests from th" women themselves. On May 3 the Cubani Senate scratched the word male from the" constitution. Several other steps are still necessary, but at any rate, another page in the history of woman suffrage was turned." Before going to Cuba with Genera! Crowder. Mrs. Newman served for sev eral years before the war in the Latin Americau division of the State Depart ment. but resigned when a law clerkship was refused to her on account of her sex. She has now terminated her services with the Crowder mission, but is employed as executive secretary in Havana by a large American corporation In which post she will return after her northern visit.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. | Parent-Teacher Notes | School No. 75 will hold their regular meeting at 3:15 o'clock, Wednesday.
