Young Woman From ‘Show Me'State Knows Just What Westerners Want to See in Gotham

Commercializes Knowledge of New York by Personally Conducted Tours, By XEA Service LSBERRY, Mo., Sept. 2. When they want to see the longest-haired Bohemian in Greenwich Village, or the dingiest corner of Chinatown— Or when they want to lock through the iron railing into the Vanderbilt front yard or gaze at the apartment where Dot King played at being a gilded butterfly— They ask—not a blase New Yorker, but a Missouri girl fresh from the hinterlands. Not for nothing did Miss Arretta L. Watts, formerly of this city, now of New York, come from the “show me” State when she took up her abode in the metropolis two years ago. She now is showing New York even to New Yorkers. Miss Watts, however, makes a specialty of conducting little intimate sightseeing tours for westerners who want an opportunity to get in closer touch with the local color of Gotham than is afforded by rubberneck busses. Haling the usual Missouri curiosity, Miss Watts thoroughly explored the city herself when she enrolled at Columbia University. Then when her friends began to >drop in from west of Buffalo she was prepared to reveal to them her discoveries. She could show them the once underground turrets of Chinatown. the defunct Bowery haunt where “Alligator Joe” staged his biggest fight and just where to stand on the Brooklyn bridge at midnight to get the best psychological effect. Her work became so extensive that she now conducts it on a commercial basis. “I merely have capitalized my western viewpoint.” says Miss Watts. “I know what things most interested me when I first came to New York and I can help fellow westerners get the same thrills in sightseeing that I experienced.” Western sightseers in New York run true to type in their desires. Miss Watts has found. “The sm iller the town they are from,” she says, “the more circumspect they appear, the more eager they are to see ‘some really wild life' - tw the village. Women especially are interested in getting a touch of Bohemian atmosphere. The men want to go to the ‘Follies’ or see the sleeping fish in the aquarium.”

Twice Chinese Flapper Flees on Eve of Wedding; Then She Changes Mind and Becomes Pursue)-

By V / A Service rrra ashi.noton, sept. 2. \I U Mildred Wen was her father's cashier in the Hong Kong Low restaurant here. One day the Hong Kong Low had an out-of-town customer, a New Yorker, Lee Y. Nahme. Lee fell in love with Mildred, but he didn't say so. A week later Father Wen, who is rich, received a letter from a very prominent countryman, Father Nahme, president of the New York Chinese Merchants’ Association. It was a proposal of mar-riage-—between Lee and Mildred. Father Wen agreed. Christmas day—a year ago last Christmas—was set for the wedding. Great preparations were made. Lee arrived. On Christmas Eve Mildred vanished. In the midst of a frenzied search Mildred reappeared. She didn't want to marry Lee, she said. Yes, she liked him. But love? How could she tell? She hardly knew him. She wouldn't, be forced into marriage. She was American. t China’s ancient customs were discussed. Mildred was reminded of ihern. She yielded. This time New Year day was fixed for the wedding. On New Year's Eve Mildred disappeared again. Gloom descended on the Wen household. If his daughter returned, Father Wen swore he would send her to China, to be forever out of sight of the family she had disgraced. But for her three younger children. Mother M’en declared she would kill herself. Mildred heard of this. Through an intermediary she sent word she would come back if Lee still would marry her. Lee consented. But Mildred changed her mind again. She didn’t come. Months passed. Without funds, the girl finally returned home. Notwithstanding her father’s threats, she was received with rejoicing. Then Mildred did the typical American-feminine thing. She went to New York, where Lee was, allowed herself to Lie courted, and decided she loved Lte after all. Now they are married and “living happily ever afterward.” * formed the favors, which were small colonial bouquets. Assisting hostesses were Mrs. C. D.

FABLES ON HEALTH Avoiding Colds

_ ! F.EY the ordinary rules of f I hygiene if you would avoid ___ a cold,” recommended the Mann family doctor. "Except where nasal defects exist there should he no trouble with recurring colds if a person is living hygienieally.” Here are a few po.nts that might be written down and remembered in this connection: Most people realize that exposure and chilling are likely to produce colds. This is due to a disturbance of circulation brought about through the nerve centers controlling skin circulation which are over-sensitive and feel an immediate reaction. Now if the skin is put in good shape there is a good chance of overcoming this. Bathing in cool water, with its accompanying reaction, will help build up skin resistance. Getting gradually accustomed to gentle drafts also will help. Anomer stunt Is to stand in a foot

‘Bobby’s’ Stumped —Girl Threatens to Cut Off Curls If He Goes Over Niagara Falls in Rubber Ball

So Man Who Made Trip in Barrel 13 Years Ago May Call It Off, Jin J'vifrd Press Sept. 2.—lt’s beginning to' i look as if "Bobby” Leach is going to have to forego his trip over Niagara Falls in a rubber ball. His 14-year-old daughter, Viola, is blocking his way. She’s going to have her hair bobbed if he does. And “Bobby” doesn’t want that. For Viola’s lovely curls are her daddy’s pride and joy. Tall, slender, olive-skinned Viola, With her beautiful ringlets, looks all the world like an Indian maiden. Months ago she tired of her curls. She wanted to have them / cut off. She wanted to wear her hair bobbed like other girls of her age. But Daddy Leach wouldn't stand for it. It would break his heart, he told her, if she did. Now Viola is an obedient child. She wouldn't do anything her father forbade. “Bobby’s” plans, howevey, for his second jaunt over the rapids—he made his first one in a steel barrel thirteen years ago—brought rebellion. * . “If you make the trip.” she said, “I'll have my hair bobbed. But if you call it off I'll not cut my* curls." So “Bobby” is stumped. He doesn't want his friends to call him "yellow.” And he doesn’t want ills daughter .to shed her curls. Then, too. “Bobby” has been unable to get his rubber ball. He has been negotiating with three different companies, but they are slow in responding. "I can’t see why,” he sighs. “It would be a great advertisement for any concern furnishing me with the rubber ball.” “Bobby’s” fame seems to be growing annually. Every year,

Test- of Time Needed for Summer Romances

Vacation days are almost over. Summer resorts soon will he closing their doors, and sunburnt, tired, young men and women will be hack at home.

At the beginning of the summer, I spoke of summer flirtations. Now 1 speak of them again. In Indianapolis there are girls who left their hearts behind when they came back after vacations. A couple of weeks, a few moonlight nights, a lake, perhaps—an engagement. It happens frequently. The sequel, in many cases, is disappointment. The enchantment of the moon fades; distance, instead of making the heart grow fonder, becomes a barrier: letters grow Infrequent, stop, and a girl is left wondering. Summer acquaintanceships sometimes grow into the wannest friendships, and even ripen into love. But they are like puppy love —they need tiie test of time. Is it Love? Dear Mis* Lea. While I was on my vacation for two weeks this summer I met a man from anoth -- State whom I grew to I like very touch. Since I (tot back several | weeks airo we have corresponded. He say* ho loves mo and wants mo to marry him. 1 know I like him very much and think I love him, but 1 am not sure now that I an away from him. When T was with him I was sure I loved him. Do you think I should accept an -inrasement ring'; MISS SUMMER. Not until you nre sure of your love. It Is so easy to believe yourself in love under a moon at a'summer resort where every one devotes himself to playing. But love that cannot survive transplanting to less romantic ground is not love at all. Perhaps you will find, as time goe3 on, that you do love this man. But you would do him a greater injustice to become his fiancee now, feeling as you do, than to tell him the j truth.

Happy Marriage Dear Martha Lee: If it is not too late, please publish this in answer to the girl who asks whether there are any married girls who really wish to stay married. I am ‘Jo years, married live years to one of the best husbands in the world. We have two wonderful children, and, although I am not blessed with much of this world’s goods, I am contented. The secret lies in talcing life as It comes, and not worry about what the future may bring. I went to school with my husband and have known him thirteen years and never have had a serious Quarrel. Never get married until you are sure you are willing to listen to your husband's side of the story, as well as expecting him to listen to yours. It is the little, every day annoyances, more than tlie really big things, that help break up so many marriages today. If you have entered a fifty-fifty basis. I am sure you will all come through safely and make a success of your marriage. Life is largely what we make it. and a nagging, bickering wife usually makes a grouchy husband, ana vice versa. Spunk and stiok-to-it-iveness are what it takes to get over the rough places. A HAPY WIFE AND MOTHER. Can It Be True? Dear Miss Lee: I am .15 years old and i / wife is 31. I was married when I was 22. We have one child. My wife used to accuse me of running around with other women, but she never says anything about other women any more. She stays home all the time and works in the house and leeps it clean. Do you think she has other men. because she stays home so much, or do you think she is doing til's to keep us together on account of our child? WORRIED HTT9BAND. Great goodness, don't you know when you're well off? You have an ideal wife. Your home life evidently is all that could be desired. And you're afraid it’s not true! Accept the gifts the gods give you and be thankful for them, or they may be taken away. WHAT’LL. I DO: Yes. it is a bad case of puppy love, and, because you evidently have the more severe attack, you are in danger of losing even the friendship of this boy. The point is to keep his friendship. Then, if it should ripen into love, aJI well and good. The chance3 are even that your "puppy love” will become real love, or that you will find some other man has won your heart before many years pass. At any rate, you’ll never make this boy love you by trying to keep away other gir’s, even if you could. You would only make him tire of you.

drivers will tell you. But the distance probably is extended considerably on the return trip. Day and night, there's a fleet of in front of “Bobby's.” Business is always good In the little case. And "Bobby” of late years has become quite prosperous. But he’ll never be satisfied until he goes over the Falls again.

■Martha Lee Says-

Silk Voile S" ” | ILK vole and lace make this negilgee, which is lovely n__J enough to make any woman want to stay at home to wear it. The lace is dyed to match the voile, which is French blue, and it is worn over a slip of pink satin. It looks more elaborate than it really is, because the wing draperies and the lace are applied on a straight foundation that is simplicity itself as to cut.

(An intimate story of innermost emotions revealed in private letters) LETTER FROM ALICE HAMILTON WHITNEY TO LADY BETTY CARNOVAN My dear Betty; You will see from the enclosed clippings that my marriage to Karl was a very tame event, after all. Dad is still far from well, and some things came up which made it imperative that it should take place at once. It all happened over those beastly pearl beads. I hate to confess it, but sometimes I think that Karl has a sneaking love for Leslie —Leslie, who always was one of those meally-mouthed bits of mid-Victorian sweetness. (Forgive me, my dear, for making an Invidious remark about the queen, who is probably one of your calendar saints.) However, you and I are much more frank and much more independent in our thought. I’ve always envied Leslie those pearls, and although Karl has given me two wonderful strings, I had a yen for the ones he had given Leslie. Like a fool, I set myself out to get them. I knew what a time Leslie had and how frightened she was over an anonymous letter that was written to her about them some months ago when I was abroad, so I conceived what I thought at the time was a brilliant, but what I have found out since was a particularly stupid idea of writing an anonymous letter to Leslie’s husband. You see I knew that he didn’t know the pearls were real. Well, it kicked up an awful fuss. Seems that stupid husband of hers got very jealous all at once, and Leslie made dad’s illness an excuse to come to him. She accused me of writting the letter, and what’s worse, she p-.-actically accused me right before Karl. Then it was up to me to marry Karl and do It quick, so I staged another little drama. I let Karl find me In the summer house with a small bottle of water marked "Poison.” When I saw him in the doorway, I gasped out “goodby!” and put the bottle to my lips. Betty, I’ve come to the conclusion that I was not born to be an author, as we thought we both were, but [ that some day I shall be a great | actor, for the thing worked much ■ better than I dared to hope. Karl i rushed forward, grabbed the bottle, took me in his arms and called me every endearing name I ever heard before and some I had not heard. I told him I was afraid I was going to lose his love, and I could not live without it. I owned up that I had written the anonymous letter, but explained that it was my last desperate attempt to keep him from loving my sister or any other woman.

Betty, men are easily flattered, aren’t they? Even Karl seemed to think that if I loved him like that, he should try to make me happy, so he suggested that we be married right away. / We managed to get a license late in the afternoon, and were married. Now if I can persuade him to' go over to England to live, I think we will be quite happy. I know that I can not live here, because mother and Leslie both seem to feel that I've committed the unpardonable sin. I don’t think so, but I do think I have been incomparably stupid, and I sometimes feel that I haven't reaped yet the full reward of that stupidity. Lovingly, ALICE.
