WOMEN WORKERS TAKE IMPORTANT CONVENTION PART Recent Move of Brennan to Oust Mrs, Blair, Their Leader, By FLORA S. ORR. Times Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, June 2's.—Woman’s place is in New York. She is here, in and out and roundabout Madison Square Garden, mixing in the hotel lobby crowds, attending commitie© meetings and talking and working around at the headquarters These 500 Democratic women delegates are enjoying more importance, politically speaking, than ■women have ever had before. It may not be very much. Two important committees rules and resolutions —haven't a woman member, but there are five women members of the committee to notify presidential nominee— California, Connecticut. Georgia, Delaware and West Virginia being responsible. On the committee to notify the vice president there are sixteen women members. In the Republican convention considerable stir was made about future fifty-fifty representation. The Democrats already have that. But their great representation in this convention is due to the efforts of Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, vice chairman of the Democratic national committee. It was Mrs. Biair who quietly put ever the plan of doubling the personnel of delegates-at-iarge from each State with the suggestion that half of the number be women, each delegate-at-large to have half a vote. Because of this particular activity on the part of Mrs. Blair, it is not likely that the women will take to heart any of the propaganda which has been set afloat to the effect that she exceeded her authority in appointing members to the temporary organization Committee without consulting State leaders, and that it might be well to see to it that Mrs. Blair did not succeed herself as vice chairman of the national committee. The reason for opposition to Mrs. Blair was a desire of George Brennan, Democratic boss of Illinois, to get Mrs. Kellogg Fairbanks, prominent social leader of Chicago in Mrs. Blair’s place. New Yorkers were easily induced to join in the fuss because someone told them that Mrs. Blair was secretly in favor of McAdoo. Mrs. Blair, however, seems to be slated to succeed herself in what has been up to this time the most important political position by any woman in the United States.

Crawford for a change of classification of the southeast corner of Forty-Sixth St. and College Ave. from residential to business has been denied for the second time by the board of zoning appeals.

Stump Speakers at Democratic Convention
MISS LAURA. NORLIN IN THE FOUR IN ONE CAMPAIGN COSTUME. CENTER SHOWS THE FOUNDATION GARMENT, MADE INTO AN EVENING GOWN AT THE LEFT AND AN AFTERNOON GOWN AT RIGHT.
By HORTENSE SAUNDERS U 1 XEA Service Writer. I MIeW YORK, June 24 L 1 N I Here is the first aid to the woman politician—the four-in-one campaign costume. With this and a make-up box the 1924 stump speaker is ready for any political assignment her party may require of her. This contribution to the country's welfare comes from Miss Laura Norlin, the official "style expert” of the convention, who has been installed at the headquarters of the Women’s Democratic Club to give advice to women on style and to broadcast the latest information ever* night.

Thou Art a Mystery, Woman, but You Haven’t a Thing on Man Jeffrey Farnol Started Something When He Broughtf)ut Time-Worn Masculine Alibi Pretending Women Are Har dto Understand,
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Comes now Jeffrey Farnol, well known novelist, and re asserts that it is impossible for men ever to understand women; that we are the riddle of the universe, our hearts pools of mystery, our vagaries as changing as the winds; that we possess the elusive charm of the unknown and that no man will ever be able to comprehend the secrets of our being: that we harbor unfathomable spiritual depths, and that man gropes forever in an endeavor to know us. This is old stuff and makes a good alibi for the men. They seem to get a lot of delight in pretending that we are hard to understand, and at the same time, they love to believe that we can read them like an open book. But look at the number of things we can’t fathom about them —only we do not make such a fuss about it. For instance, it is beyond the comprehension of any woman as to why men dislike to be talked to at the breakfast table. Why they find tobacco such a soothing sedative for themselves and so bad for us. Why they advocate modesty in women and still trail after those who are immodest. Why they are always talking about "woman’s place being in the home” when they can’t run their business without a woman stenographer. Why they expect to have brilliant sons when they w-ili pick out emptyheaded flappers to marry. Why they make jokes about us talking so much when Congress i3 made up solely of their sex.

LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON TO PAULA PERIER MY DEAR PAULA: You will probably be surprised to get a letter from me. First, I want to tell you that I am coming out to California on another business trip, and I want to know if you're going to stay In Hollywood all summer, and I should very much miss not seeing you. Then I want to congratulate you on your latest picture, “Her Last Card.” You are improving every picture you make, and I think that is the highest compliment I can pay you. In all the others that you have presented you seem to have been feeling jseur way, but in “Her Last Card” you have given much of yourself and your knowledge of life that has come from your tragic experiences—something that no director could have possibly brought out. I wonder if you have reached the place along life's highway where jam are able to get a good perspective on those experiences. If you have, you will know that which all of us sooner or later come to know, that all of life is good. I've been wondering if you’ve found any one in Hollywood that in any way makes you forget your old friends. Now, I’m not going to make that old, banal statement, that I hope you have not done so. On the contrary, I am going to tell you that I hope you have made new friends that take the place of the old. In fact, I'm quite sure you have, for you seem to be growing not only in your art, but in beauty. The lines and drawn look are coming out of your face, and the moment a person begins to stop making new friends, that moment that person begins to grow old and ugly and naturally
three yards, according to your height. The silk must be reversible or you use two layers so that you can wear either side to the fore, thus making different colored costumes. The tricky cutting forms it into a dress. Then with a conservative girdle you have an afternoon gown and with a more elaborate one and with a slightly different manipulation of the fullness you are all set for the evening. The whole outfit may be rolled up into a package scarcely larger than a good-sized sausage, and takes up so little room that you can stump the country with no more baggage than an overnight case.

Ry United Press COLUMBUS, Ind., June 25.Regular attendance at Sunday school every Sunday or a term of one to fourteen years in the State reformatory was the sentence facing Glenn Kreinhagen and Ralph Pugh, both 17-year-old Jackson County farm boys. The two boys confessed stealing saddles and harness from the barns of neighbors.
leaves behind the real joy of living. There are so many old saws, Paula dear, that we like to think are true, that are not ofily false but foolish; and one of them that “old friends, old shoes, and old wine are best,” is especially fallacious. It all depends, you know . Out of the ruck of old friendships, one sometimes finds one or two that satisfy as life, with its numerous changes of environment and interests, goes on. Unfortunately one's taste in friendship changes as one’s taste in shoes or wine changes. If old shoes are worn over at the heel, and the Insides of them do not conform to your feet, they become uncomfortable—they don’t fit; and old wine often tastes more of thl* cork than of the fragrant of the grape. I never wear old shoes, principally because I don’t like the looks of them. They do not fit my beautyloving soul. And old wine in these Volstead (Jays is apt to be spurious. I know very well the people to whom T swore in my own mind unswerving fidelity in my youth would not appeal to me if I should meet them again now, ifter years of absence. We have gone very different ways and now look at life from very different viewpoints. Do not misunderstand me, dear Paula. There have been both men and women whose friendship of years standing I *till am very glad to hold in my heart. But I have also made new friends who mean quite as much to me. I find great joy in meeting new people and making new friends, and I hope that you have found this great thrill in life as well as I. NEXT; Letter from Sydney Carton to Paula Perier, continued.

in women's dress,” says Miss Norlin. “The woman politician today must bo well dressed, and must be feminine looking at all cost, but she must simplify her wardrobe so that its upkeep does not hike up too much of her valuable time. "Accessories are much more important than clothes themselves, and the clever woman has a few good foundation items in her wardrobe, and then gets her effects by her hats, shoes, scarfs and jewelry.” Miss Norlin last season created a golf costume which was awarded a SI,OOO prize and was adopted by the golf association as the official costume of the links.

With vacation and warm days the Mann youngsters would cry for picnics and outings, particularly v'hen Sunday came and daddy could go along. Picnics and Sunday outings may be considered “something to please the children,” and as such they should be encouraged. But the chance to get out in the ojjen thus given the elders is of Immense hygienic value. Modern school playgrounds and jjarks in most cities give the children plenty of outdoor play places, but Isuch opportunities should not constitute an argument against the picnic, which, staged in new scenes

and bringing the children into new surroundings, broadens the fields of childish imagination and stimulates the play spirit. For just such reasons they have excellent psychological effect upon the elders, even when staged under more or less trying conditions. Selection of ckpen country, with green fields and trees, is of course preferable if they can be reached. But, under any circumstances, take advantage of the warm days to get the youngsters on outings—and get the child play spirit yourselves.

She's No Flapper My Df-ar Miss Lee: 1. Due to financial difficulties I was forced to quit school, but, having completed my business course, I found a g-ood position is a stenographer. 1 had almost eompiewd high school, although I am only 17 M.v younger sister and I have been going with three girls, all a year older than me These girls like to run around, but I refused. My s.ster was angry at first but I think she sees where I am right in refusing to go out driving with unknown fellows. The other girls say I don t want her to have a goud time just te-eauae I am too stubborn. I haven’t told mother that I they want us to go that win but I know she would not like it. Uam not worrying about what the girls say, would j you ? 2. Is it necessary to shake hands with a person after being introduced? 3. Do you think I am right in absolutely refusing to have anything to do with a fellow who has begun to drink? For a while I permitted people to act and talk any way they wished in ord r to keep "frienda” I find it doesn't pay and when I refuse to do things I know are not right my • friends call me stubborn. STVBBpRNXESS. 1. "What people say” is not im- | portant. And. in this case, to be trailed "stubborn" by these Kiris, for | the reason they assign, is a compU- ! ment. Be careful in your treatment |of your younger sister. Don't parade your virtues, but rnther give her credit for having sense enough to know how to conduct herself. I Surely you can find friends for both | of you to replace these girls. 2. It Is not necessary, but is an act of cordiality. A man waits for a woman to offer her hand; a girl, for an older woman. At formal affairs, the hand shake is omitted. 3. Depends on the circumstances. If you can influence him tirgive up bad habits, by withholding your friendship during a period of "probation.” that would be better than to “refuse absolutely" to deal with him. Escort Rude Dear Miss Lee 1 A boy friend asked to take me to a show. After the show he asked whether I wanted to go down and watch them dance He found me a seat, then left me and danced. The next dance he asked me, but as 1 am only learning, I refused He danced two more dant-es. I aslud him to step aside. I, told him I wished to go home and that if he did not want to leave I would go alone. as mother was expeeting me Did Ido right and did he do right in leaving me? 2. When one is just learning to dance and a man asks for the dance, should one make any explanation or excuse? WILLING TO LEARN. 1. Your escort's behavior'was urt pardonable. You were too humble:] there was no reason why you should j go home alone. 2. It is best not to go to dances ] until you feel proficient enough to i dance. If, however, you do attend ] a dance before that time, just give I a word of explanation when you de I cline to dance.
