‘ARTFUL’ MAIDENS INDULJE FANCIES One and All Flock to Department Stores to Learn Painting. By MARGARET ROHE. •‘Oh. I just love art," said the soulful tn&ld. And she heaved a soulful sigh. "Art who?" asked the flapper. ‘‘l don’t believe I have ever met the guy.” NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—'"Artistic” la lovely woman's favorite adjective. Paint is her favorite smear. Since the days of Lilith, Adam’s first, she has been painting herself And anything else she could get her hands on. Even the more Puritanical of the sex who balk at exterior decoration to the extent of an unpowdered nose, must have an outlet for their artistic urge. Interior decoration, then, is what the ytum to. Instead of hiding her light under a bushel, the modern maid now hides it under a hand-painted parchment shade of her own manufacture. • • • Some people have been known to study art in Paris. Yet again others seek it in Greenwich Village. "Not so the lamp-shade painting virtuoso. She acquires her art where she acquires her hats, frocks, shoes and family groceries—in her favorite department store. Leonard Merrick once wrote a book called “The Man Who Understood Women." The only man to really qualify for such a title is the manager of an up-to-date department store. Among countless other things, he knows women are full of repressed artistic desires as well as he knows his own name. That’s why he has instituted the department for teaching lamp-shade painting right next to the fancy goods section. Practically all progressive department stores now number such an artistic center among their more utilitarian charms. All the fair art student has to do is to purchase ail her lamp-shade making and painting materials at the adjacent art goods counter and then an instructor of lamp-shade art takes her in hand. He shows her how to stencil ou the bluebirds or the peacock, and shade the yellow ochre Into burnt umber free of charge, charge. Hair Henna-colored hair is said to be passing out of style, except, of course, that which is naturally titian. The natural shade of the hair seems to be the correct one to use now.

"Dear me,” cried Raggedy Ann to Raggedy Andy and the Fuzzywump’s Puppydog. "did you ever see the like?” Here we are all left alone 1 and the Fuzzywump has been carried right up in the air by the great, big, | large hand." "I will never see the Fuzzywump again,” the Puppydog howled as he ; sat down and held his nose straight | up in the air. j Os course Raggedy Ann and Ragj gedy Andy thought this was true, | but they did not believe it would help i matters to tell the Puppydog this. "Remember, Puppydog,” said Ragj gedy Ann, "we are inside the Fuzzyj wump’s magical book and have beicome mixed up with all the stories

Inside It, and maybe the Fuzzywump has been lifted out of the book.” Raggedy Ann did not know why she thought this, but It was just what ' had happened, for pretty soon they heard a very loud whistle, and looking up into the sky they saw a great big face which nearly covered everything and shut out nearly all the light. They could see that it was the Fuzzywump’s face. And when he saw the Puppydog and Raggedy Ann j and Raggedy Andy he reached right i down into the magical book and 11ftjed them out. When they were on the | outside of the book of course they t were as large as the Fuzzywump. "Here is my mother," said the Fuzzywump. “She was walking through : the woods when she saw my magical I book and looked Into it. When she | saw me she picked me right out of \ It.” The Fuzzywump's mamma was a very nice Fuzzywump mamma. “Pick • up your book.

THE ENDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Qfe RED HOUSE iflj urftf MYSTERY SWiSagf ♦ *9za EPuiu*i

It was with considerable disgust that MARK ABLETT. bachelor proprietor of Tho Red House, had Informed his houseparty guests that his ne'er-do-well brother. ROBERT, who had been absent for fifteen years in Australia, was to visit him that adternoon. Mark and his companion, MATT CAYLEY, awaited the arrival of Robert after lunch, the guests playing golf. Robert arrived, was ushered into Mark's office by the maid. AUDREY STEVENS, who went to inform her master. Before she found Mark a shot was heard and ANTONY GILLINGHAM, a friend of BILL BEVERLEY, one of Mark's guests, entered the house to find Cayley pounding- on the locked door and demanding admittance. The two men entered the office through a window and discovered a body on the floor with a shot In the head Mark was not to be found and the dead man. Cayley told Anthony, was tho brother who had iust arrived. CHAPTER TV Guests at The Red House were allowed to do what they liked within reason—the reasonableness or otherwise of it being decided by Mark, i Antony was standing in front of the house, waiting for them. Bill waved, and he waved back. Then as tho car i drew up. Bilk who was in front with the chauffeur, Jumped down and greet--1 ed him eagerly. “Hallo, you madman; have you come to stay, or what?” He had a sudden Idea. "Don’t say you’re Mark Ablett’s long-lost brother from Australia, though I could quite believe it of you.” Ho laughed boyishly. "Hello, Bill,” said Antony quietly. "Will you introduce me? I’m afraid I’ve got somo bal news.” Bill, rather sobered by this, introduced him. The Major and Mrs. Cal- : ladine were on the near side of the car, and Antony spoke to them in a low voice. “I’m afraid I’m going to give you rather a shock,” he said. "Robert Ablet, Mr. Mark Ablett’s brother, has | been killed.” He jerked a thumb over s his shoulder. “In the house.” "Do you mean that he has Just killed himself?” asked Mrs. Calladine. “It was about two hours ago. I happened to come here,” —he halfturned to Beverley and explained—"l was coming to see you, Bill, and I arrived Just after the—the death. I Mr. Cayley and I found the body. Mr. Cayley being busy just now—there are police and doctors and bo on In the house —he asked me to tell j you. He says that no doubt you would ' prefer, the house party having been ; broken up In this tragic way. to leave ;as soon as possible.” He gave a pleasant apologetic little smile. Bill gazed with open mouth at Antony. Mrs. Calladine was quietly mistress of herself. "We shall be in the way, yes. I quite understand.” she said: "hut we can’t Just shake the dust of the place off our shoes Because something teri rible has happened there. I must see i Mark. He must know how very ! deeply we feel for him. Perhaps I we—“ she hesitated. “Tbs Major and I might be use . ful anyway," said Bill. •Where is Mark?" said the Major suddenly, looking hard at Antony. I Antony looked back unwaveringly— I and said nothing. “I think." said the Major gently. : leaning over to Mrs. Calladine, "that | It would be better if you took Betty ; back to London tonight.” “Very well,” she agreed quietly. As Antony re-entered the hail the ! inspector from Middleston was just crossing Into the library with Cayley. The latter stopped and nodded to Antony. ‘Walt a moment. Inspector. Here's Mr. Gillingham” And then to An : tony. "This Is Inspector Birch.” "Mr. Gillingham and I found the body together,” explained Cayley. "Oh! Well, come along, and let's get the facts sorted out a bit." ! ‘We’ll start w;th the dead man,’ said the inspector. "Robert Ablett, didn’t you say?” He took out his notebook. “Yes. Brother of Mark Ablett. who lives here.” 1 Antony listened attentively while Cayley explained all that he knew about Robert. This was news to him. “I see. Bent out of the country In disgrace. What had he done?” “I hardly know.” "Mark Ablett never talked about him?” ! “Hardly error. He was very much ashamed of him. and—well, very glad | he was In Australia.” j “Now your own private opinion, j Mr. Cayley. Do you think that Mark j was unfair to his brothei ?" "They’d never liked each other as j boys. I don’t know whose fault it was In the first place—if anybody's.” The inspector nodded. “This letter that Mark got—die you see it?” “Not at the time. He showed it to me afterward.” "Any address?" “No. A half-sheet of rather dirty paper.” ‘Where Is It now?”

"I don't know. In Mark's pocket, I expect." "Ah!” He pulled at his beard. “Can you remember what It said?” "As far as I remember, something like this; ‘Mark, your loving brother Is coming to see you tomorrow, all j the way from Australia. I give you I warning so that you will be able to conceal your surprise, but not I hope, your pleasure. Expect him at three, or thereabouts.” “Ah!” The inspector copied it down carefully. “Did you notice the postmark?” “London.” “And what was Mark's attitude?” “Annoyance, disgust—” Cayley hesitated. “Apprehension?” “N—no, not exactly. Or, rather, apprehension of an unpleasant interview. not of any unpleasant out come for himself.” “You mean that he wasn’t afraid of violence, or blackmail, or anything of that sort?" “He didn’t appear to be.” “Right • • • Now then, he Arrived, you say, about three o’clock?” “Yes. about that.” “Who was in tho house then?” “Mark and myself, and some of the servants. I don’t know which. Os course, you will ask them directly, no j doubt.” “With your permission. No I guests?” | "They were out all day playing I golf.” ‘"Where were you when Robert arrived?" asked Birch. Cayley explained how he had been sitting in the hall, how Audrey had | asked him where the master was. and how he had said that he had last seen him going up to the Temple. “She went away and I went on with my book. There was a step on the stairs and I looked up to see Mark coming down. He went Into the office and I went on with my book again. I went into the library for a moment to refer to another book, and when I was In there I heard a shot. At least, it was a loud bang. I wasn’t sure if It was a shot. I stood and listened. Then I came slowly to the door and looked out. Then I went j back again, hesitated a bit. you know, and finally decided to go across to tho office and make sure it was all right. I turned the handle of the door and found it was locked. Then I got frightened, and I banged at the door, and shouted, and —well, that was when Mr. Gillingham arrived." He went on to explain how they had found the body. The Inspector looked at him with a smile. “Yes, wen, we shall have to go over some of that again, Mr. Cayley. Mr. Mark, now. Did he say anything? "He said. 'Robert’s here? or something of the sort. I said ‘Yes, and be gave a sort of shrug, and said, ‘Don’t go too far away, I might want you.; arid then went in.” . j "What did you think he meant by that?” "Well, he consults me a good deal, you know. I’m his sort of unofficial solicitor in a kind of way.” “Yes. How long was It before you heard the shot?” "Two minutes, perhaps.* The Inspector finished his writing, and then regarded Cayley thoughtfully. Suddenly he said: "What is your theory of Robert’s death?" Cayley shrugged his shoulders. “You’ve probably seen more than I’ve seen,” he answered. “I can only speak as a layman—and Mark’s friend.” "Well?” "Then I should say that Robert came hero meaning trouble, and bringing a revolver with him. He produced it almost at once. Mark tried to get it from him, there was a little struggle perhaps, and it went off. Mark lost head, finding him self with a revolver in his hand and a dead man at his feet. Hla one dea was to escape. He locked the door almost Instinctively, and then.

IAT SHOULD THE TYPICfILEIRLBE? Letters to Pageant Editor Show Variety of Opinions. Flapperism was given a severe jolt In a number of letters received fiom Indianapolis citizens who are keenly interested in the qualifications of Miss Indianapolis who will be selected by a committee o£ judges to attend the city pageant to be held at Atlantic City in September. The “flapper" has been defended in some letters previously received by the Times Pageant Editor. He offers $lO for the best short letter setting forth what Miss Indianapolis should be like. “Here is hoping that the judges will be men and women who are far sighted enough to require some qualifications of the beauties which will represent our fair city at Atlantic City, besides 'flapperism,’ writes J. P. Whorton giving his address at 136 W. Nineteenth St. He adds, "I hope they will select one who can back her looks up with something besides a powder puff and a lip - stick. Pretty is that pretty does.” Mrs. A. G. White. SOS Sanders 3t. ; according to a letter received, ha3 a I conservative opinion of the typical I Indianapolis girl who should be selected by the Judges. "My conception,” she states, “of Miss Indianapolis would be, first, good character, beauty of the soul as well as a pretty face, good-natured, wellbred, use good English, carry herself well, be a good sport, a good mixer ! without seeming forward and be at i least 21 years of age.” Here Is a defense of the bobbed hair girl: "That Indianapolis father is like | that old saying, you can't learn an old j dog new tricks; neither can you get | older people to change their views of anything,” states Lilian Painter, 119 E. McCarthy St. “Why should a girl spend an hour or two to wash and dry her hair every week or so, as the girl with oily hair has to do? “Maybe his daughter's hair Is easy to do up, but ha don’t think of other girls, whose hair Is hard to do up.” Send your letters, around fifty words, to the Times Pageant Editor ; at once, giving your idea of what Miss i Indianapolis should he.
