By MARIAN' HALE NEA Service Writer [T y lEW YORK, July 28.—A1l that lIN is * eft t^le fl 2 -PP €r * s the * name! For want of anything better, and because we have become accustomed to the appellation, we still call the girl in her late teens a flapper. But she bears no resemblance now, at least physically, to the girl of six months or a year ago who re ceived so much condemnation from parents and reformers. Her curt manners didn’t fit in with the lengthened skirt, so she changed her manrfers to suit the style. And fashion authorities say she must change even more for the coming season- She will have but one ideal —to be picturesque.

HOW THE FLAPPER HAS CHANGE D

Long skirts, draperies, bustles, tight bodices and lace ruffles and frills are going to make her look like the portrait of a lady. Velvet, satin and satin backed crepes in the most gorgeous colorings, as well as dignified black, will be combined with lace and fur to give the picture quality. Fur is to be one of the most popular trimmings for fall and winter, not used in the conventional manner about the neck and sieves, but outlining the complicated draperies and following the fashionable circle hemlines. Taffeta and moire come in the most delicate shades and the most brilliant ones—and are made Into the bouffant type of frock that is

Girls’ Summer Camps Study of Birds Is Great Fun Along With Sports

This Is the Last of a Series of Articles by Jane Deeter Rippin, National Director of Girl Scouts.

1 PORTS form a big part of camp life. Girls In camp make gala days out of field meets, with many races and competitions. And if you are camping near a lake or river, there is fun in an aquatic meet, in swimming, canoeing, rowing, tilting, etc. Outdoor fun, of another kind has an educational phase. When you live your two weeks or so in the open you see and hear plenty of birds. But can you identify them? Try it —and, if you are a oity girl, you will learn something. Observe closely and accurately the size of the birds you see, their flights, 'songs, forms, haunts, color apd call notes. In estimating the size, the robin and the English sparrow will give you a good basis of measurement—the robin for birds about ten inches long and the sparrow for those about six. How Do They Compare? Now Jook closely at the bird you are studying. See if it is larger than a robin, the same size, or smaller; or the size of a sparrow, or smaller than a sparrow; or possibly as large as a crow. What color is it? Bright hued, streaked, barred, or spotted? Or not streaked, barred or spotted? Or is It dull, with no markings? Different parts of the body will

Golden Opportunity _ IOUSEWIVES! Now is the time to make the best of a golden I j— l I opportunity. I* * I wheat prices are as low as they were before the war. Yet bread and rolls and cakes are still almost at the war level of prices. The Indianapolis Times has asked Sister Mary to furnish you with some helpful recipes for home baking. Here they arer

By SISTER MARY DHURING the war, while we were conserving wheat for our allies U—J and saving sugar for our "boys,” the American housewife learned the value of other grains and found that it

was a saving of time to serve simple fruit desserts with no pies or cakes or puddings. But now there’s no need to conserve wheat flour and it behooves every housekeeper to go into her kitchen early in the morning and bake the deli clous breads and rolls she

SISTER MARY has formed the habit of doing without. Bread is essentially a carbon hydrate, although entire wheat bread contains mineral matter, proteid and fat, as well as starch to such a degree as to make an almost perfect food. White flour bread is Jlacking in fat, but combined with butter or rich milk it makes the perfect food for grownups or kiddles. It may not be fashionable to serve bread at dinner, but a more lavish use of bread will reduce the high cost of living and not lower the high More bread and less meat will make healthier families during the summer months. Serve toasted bread sticks with the soup; serve broiled and creamed meats on toast. The toast absorbs the delicious Juices of broiled meats that are usually wasted on the platter. Crispy toast points add to the flavor of a creamed dish and also make it possible to lessen the amount of meat. Highly Nutritive It’s rather interesting to know the Department of Agriculture of our United States has figured that there is more nutritive value In 10 cents worth of bread flour than in 10 cents spent for any other food. So for our sakes we should use more breadstuffs. And for the sake of our farmers, the "backbone of the nation,” who feel that the "bottom is dropping out” of the price of wheat, we should use more breadstuffs. If the American farmer reaches the stage when he decides it does not "pay*’ to raise wheat we will pay for our flour as we never have before. These white flour rules for breads, pies, cakes and puddings may start

differ in color, and it is great sport to be able to observe accurately the breast and back, the top-knot or crest—if there is one—the size and shape of the head and the bill. It is surprising the number of details you can pick out. You’ll Love Them A bird’s bill is interesting. Is it hooked, short and thick, long and stout, long and narrow, or Is it used for hammering? Are the yings spotted, pointed or barred? How about the tai}? What is its color? Its markings? In sizo, is it long, short, pointed or narrow? Does the bird jerk it, or tilt it? Or he use the tail as a brace? A bird’s song may be only a rattle, or it may be sweet and low. He may sing as he flies. Or he may sing only when perched in a special location. Where does he nest? Girl Scouts who go camping quickly become nature lovers, and best of a£, are interested in preserving wild fife. When you study the birds and learn about them you will want to protect them, too.

you to baking again. But always let your dessert do its share toward the food value of the njeal. Many puddings are a full meal in themselves. A fresh fruit shortcake served with milk or cream furnishes much nourishment. Such a dessert requires a salad of crisp fresh vegetables with bread and butter, a starchy vegetable and, if you must serve meat for dinner, a small amount of fish, lamb chops or thin slices of cold roast meat. Shortcake Two cups flour, %-teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 4 teaspoons bakingpowder, 2 tablespoons butter, water to make a soft dough. Sift flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Rub in buter with tips of fingers. Cut in water with a knife. Divide dough equally. Put half in pan and pat smo. th. Spread lightly with softened butter. Roll remaining dough lightly on a floured board and cover dough in pan. Bake fifteen minutes in a hot oven. Split and fill with berries or sliced and sugared peaches or apricots. Serve with sugar and cream. Butter and water makes a tenderer shortcake than lard and milk. Dumplings One and one-half cups flour, 1% teaspoons baking powder, 1 4-teaspoon salt, milk to make a soft dough. Sift baking powder and salt with flour. Cut In milk with a knife. Drop from a teaspoon into'a kettle of boiling fruit that is half-cooked. Cover tightly and keep at the boiling point for twenty minutes! Apples or peaches are delicious with these dumplings. Three cups water. 1 cup sugar, 1 lemon, 6 apples. 1 tablespoon butter. Put water, sugar, butter, grated rind and juice of lemon in a porcelain kettle with a tight cover. Bring to the boiling point and add apples pared and cored and cut in quarters. Simmer till half-done. Then boll rapidly and add dumplings. Do NOT lift the cover for fifteen minutes after dumplings are added.

Cup Puddings. One and one-half cups our, I*4 teaspoons baking powder, >4 teaspoon salt, 1 egg, milk, berries or sliced fruit. Sift baking powder and salt with flour. Beat egg slightly and cut into flour mixture. If necessary add more milk to make a soft dough. Fill buttered cups about one-third full Os fruit. Sprinkle with sugar and cover with dough. Steam half an hour. Serve with sugar and cream. Swedish Rolls. Two cups scalded milk, 4 tablespoons butter, 8 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 yeast cake, Vi, cup lukewarm water. 2 eggs, 14 cup currants, 4 tablespoons shredded citron, extra sugar and butter. Scald milk and pour over sugar, salt and butter. When lukewarm, add yeast cake dissolved In water. Add eggs well beaten. Stir In flour to make a medium batter. Beat well with a slotted spoon for five minutes. Add flour to knead. Knead until smooth and elastic. Put in mixing bowl, cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place till more than dou ble its gulk. Roll in a rectangular shape to *4 inch thickness. Spread with softened butter, sprinkle with sugar, currants and citron and roll like a Jelly roll. Cut in slices an inch thick. Put cut side down on a buttered pan and let rise till very Jlght. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon sugar dissolved in 3 tablespoons milk and bake in a hot oven for 20 or 25 minutes. Delicious cinnamon rolls are made by this rule -.without eggs. Use recipe Just as for the Swedish rolls, leaving out the eggs, currants and citron. Spread with softened butter and dredge with one-fqurth cup sugar mixed with one tablespoon cinnamon. Blueberry Pudding One-third cup sugar, 4 tablespoons butter, 214 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, Vi teaspoon sajt, % cup milk, 1 egg, 2 cups blueberries. Cream butter, stir in sugar. Sift one-fourth cup of. the flour over berries. Mix and sift flour, salt and baking powder. Beat white and yolk of -egg separately. Add part of the flour to first mixture and beat till smooth. liAdd yolk of egg well beaten. Add remaining flour anq milk alternately, beating the mixture smooth. Fojd in white of egg beaten till stiff and dry. Fold in floured berries. Turn Into an angel cake pan and bake forty minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with hard sauce or sugar and cream.

Household Suggestions Testing Cakes A clean woden toothpick Is much more sanitary as an instrument for testing cakes or fruits than a broomsplint. Paint Spots Remove paint spots with turpentine or benzine. If the spot is old, soften It first with cottonseed oil or lard. Clean Sink Lay a lump of soda In the kitchen sink every day or tw-o and then flush with hot water. You will save many a plumber’s bill.

Student's Own Fiction Character Coaxes Youth to Commit Crime Police Believe

By H. A. FREDERICK NEA Staff Writer lAN FRANCISCO, July 28. The story of a modern Frankenstein monster Vas revealed by arrest here of Carol Wilson, 22, deacon of a Los Angeles church and student of divinity. But the modern version perhaps will read more happily than the famous classic, for a beautiful girl voluntarily has assumod the role of rescuer. Already she has succeded in postponing the reckoning. Police brand Wilson’s case as the strangest the “blotter” has seen for many a day, a tangled case mayhap more fitting for the psychologist than for the criminologist. The story opens in the dimly lit rooms of the student Wilson. It shows him pouring over books and papers far into the morning hours. For he crowded into his busy days theological study and "pot boiling” writing. He achieved some success at the latter, selling several scenarios. Brain Child Bom Then came the inspiration for a great criminal story. Dim and hazy at first was the conception of a master mind that would outwit the best efforts of police, a gentlemanly Raffles who would lead oxers a merry chase as he violated society laws. / Gradually this brain child grew. The characteristics of the master criminal became more sharp. He took human form, became at last a human being-—a Frankenstein monster. Wilson mentally watched his master burglar at work, threw a romantic aura around him in his escapades—saw him grow rich. Then, the time being ripe, the monster struck. “Why don’t you do as I am doing? It’s easy and will bring you much money,” it whispered. Wilson continued his story, mentally living the perils and thrills of his hero-villain. The scheme was the fake sale of an auto. The car would be advertised, the most likely prospects selected and notified to be at a certain house at a certain time.

Image Tempts Maker Here the fiction-criminal woujd bind bis victims and rob them of the "purchase price” of the auto, which price they had been told to bring. But while the fiction-criminal became rich, Wilson stayed comparatively poor. He badly needed money if he were to Continue his theological studies. The story was finished and ready for the mails. Then came the last temptation. The rest followed rapidly. Wljson came here and tried to put the scheme into effect, say police. But before he had had time one of his "prospects” became suspicious and notified police. Wilson was arrested on charge of conspiring to rob. His sister, Orlena, heard of his plight. She hurried here, determined to save her brother if it takes every cent of her ravings. But Wilson isn’t discouraged. He is firm in his determination to become a minister. “The personality I had created at length materialized into my own former personality,” he declares. "I realized the struggle between them —the good and the evil —but I was young and my character not solidified. "The glamor around my fictitious brain-child won like the boy who runs away to be a pirate. "But now the metamorphis is past,” declares Wilson. “When I am freed I will be a faithful servant —yet the master —of my mental creations.” Large Silver Put your large pieces of silver that you do not keep on display in cotton flannel bags.

LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH GRAVES HAMILTON TOMBS. MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT MY DEAR MRS. PRESCOTT: I think I should have written you before this, but no doubt your son has kept you posted and you know how dreadfully ill Leslie has been. She is sUll far from well and we are very much worried over her mind. She seens to have develop jd almost a case of melancholia. She pays no attention to anything or anybody, not even poor Jack, who seems brokenhearted. He has grown very thin, and I do wish that I could persuade him to go away for a little while. However, he would not leave Leslie for anything, I am sure. He comes in when she is asleep and sits beside her bed, her hand in his, for hours at a time. But just the moment she sGrs as though she were going to awake he steals away, as though he is afraid that even his presence worries her. Jack has probably told you that Leslie lost her baby after the accident. The poor child had not told Jack anything about the great expectation, as she geemed to have gotten into her head that he would not be pleased. She kept the wonderful secret to herself, and consequently since th© automobile accident, she has never asked Jack anything about it. I wish she would do so. It would be such o comfort to her, I know, to have her husband take her in his arms and tell her how sorry he is for her. They seem, fcoth of them, to be laboring under mistaken ideas of helping each other. You snd I, my dear Mrs. Prescott, know that the nearer one can come to sharing all one’s secrets with one’s husband or wife, the better both can reach great happiness. Jack has told me you have been

ORLENA WILSON, SISTER OF THE MAN ALLEGED TO BE A VICTIM OF HIS OWN FICTION CHARACTER. INSET IS CAROL WILSON.

Martha Lee Says — - Make-Up Fails to Give Girl Key to Happiness The impossibility of finding happiness in a rouge box is illustrated in a letter I received today in the cojftroversy over woman’s beauty. A girl reader shows how her twin*sister gained by developing her mind and character, while she sought it in- vain by bobbing her hair, ridding herself of freckles and applying make-up.

A saijor today added his plea for "natural” gifts. Men seem to be surfeited with rouge, judging by the letters. Here’s what some of my readers think. - Twins Different , Martha Lee: I'm lor Barney Google (who wrote that he did not object to rouse, in moderation). I am a girl ol 20. I hare a twin sister. We were twins in looks, too. until I had my freckles taken off and my hair bobbed and did everything to make me look like a baby vamp. My sister. Freckles, uses no artificial make-up. She is loved by all. She has a head like a real business woman. Both of us had the same chance. She is making big money. I am working in a factory. My chief worry is whether my complexion is on straight and whether I can make a "go” with some fellow. She Is happy because she knows she can talk about anything. I am happy, in a way, but I would give the world to be like her. P. D. ■ Wide Experience Dear Miss Lee: As an ex-sallor, I have almost covered the globe. I have seen and have gone with girls of many different types. In my opinion, a girl does not have to use make-up to be pretty. But I don’t want the girls to get this wrong. If they must use cosmetics, let them also use common sense. Let them make their ways and actions beautiful, for that is what counts with me and with all real men. I ara 23 years old and not in love. U. M.C. Women Please One Another My Dear Miss Lee: Let the women rse all the rouge and Upßtick they want to. if it makes them happy. But they would find It a lot easier to saUsfy the men If they would leave the stuff oft. The trouble is. th.- women dress and make up fo> one another, instead of for the men. and still ex-

quite ill. I am very sorry, and lem wriHng this letter so you will not think I am quite a savage in not asking about your health before, but I have been so concerned over my daughter and so busy trying to minister to her mind, as well as to her body, that I have thought of little else. Jack has told me you met Karl Whitney at your house while Leslie was there. Perhaps you will be interested to know that he has gone abroad to London, where my second daughter, Alice, is staying with the Stokleys. You, I am sure, will remember Alice as a typical American girl. The letters she writes me are most diverting, the last one particularly so. Ordinarily Leslie would be much interested, and pleased with them, but the last one which I received from Alice did not awaken a smile from her. Jack and I have come to the decision today that tomorrow I shall go and find a healthy young baby and bring it to leslie. If she shows the slightest inclination for it. Jack will adopt it. Dr. Sampson seems to think this is the only thing that will do her any good. He says if something is not done very soon to awaken her mind to things about her, he fears for her life, if not her sanity. You can see, of course, we are very much worried. I will write you Immediately after Leslie has seen the ba£y and let you know takes it. Most sincerely yours, ALICE CARTON HAMILTON. Telegram from Mrs. Mary Alden Prescott to John Alden Prescott. Do not, I beg of you, adopt a baby until you hear from me. -~-YOUR MOTHER. NEXT:—Betty Stoklt* gets a letter from Mis. Hamilon —I Leslie's silence.

peci the nen to like It. They don’t seem to realize that men like women who don't know so much about such things and more about cooking and keeping house and making homes. CYNIC. Girl Agrees With Men Dear Miss Lee: Ido not think a girl or woman should use artificial means. As for | bobbed hair, I think age makes a difference. I have bobbed hair and am nearly 16. I j never used any artificial means. I don’t believe in petting parties, although I go with fellows. 1. Do you think a girl of 15 should give up all her boy friends for one boy? 2. How can I tell a hoy I do not wish to go with him steady, without losing his friendship 5 3. At what age do most girls fall in love? I was in love, but found it was only “puppy love.” 4. Do all fellows like petting parties? 5. Character counts more than looks. I think. ' Am I not right? JUSTINE. 1. Most certainly not. 2. Explain that you are too young for "steady company." 3. Almost any age, but It’s usually "puppy love” until a girl Is at least 17 or 18. Many girls do not find love until much later. 4., No. There are many boys who like girls who don’t have to depend upon petting parties for entertainment. 5. I think so. BOBBIE: If you will send me your name and address I shall be glad to find out whether any of my readers can help you. Repeat your story-'Old-Fashioned' Girl Dear Miss Lee: You are asking for men’s opinions of women's beauty. Well, you may think me old-fashioned, but here is my opinion: Nice hair, combed in a sensible way, and a natural complexion, with Just a little powder, make a girl much more beauitful In my eyes. Do away with the lip-stick, bobbed hair and paint and give me the good old-fashioned girl, every time. WONDEKING BILL. Beginning to Doubt Dear Martha Lee: lam a girl 16 years old. I am considered a vamp because I have bobbed hair and detest long dresses and wear plenty of paint. I have kissed almost every fellow I have gone with. Bat there is a lady whom I like, who says it is wrong. But I am not convinced. So I am asking you. THE VAMP. Listen to your friend, for she can give you sound advice. You may not have any trouble having all the men friends you want now, but, In a few years, when you are tired of the sort of thing you are doing now and are thinking of a husband and a home. I am afraid that, at the rate you are going, you will finid yourself “out in the cold.” 'Real Love' Here Dear Miss Lee: I believe I now know what real love means, for I almost worship the girl Igo with. Without her, I betters I could not live. The question is. does shs love me? Sometimes I think she does no, for she does not want to go any place and seems so distant, as If we were strangers. Other times, she is in for all the fun. and even said one night that if there were a preacher around she would show me that she really loved me. Now, if I were sure. I'd make sure the preacher would be there. Can you give me some advice or encouragement ? SPA.KK PLUG. Are you and the girl engaged, or do you just take it for granted that 6he will marry you—parhapsff I'd suggest that you propose to her, so that a definite date can be set for the wedding. Then you will learn whether or not she loves you.
