SYLVIA ENTERTAINS TOM

By CYNTHIA GREY. SIYLVIA sits in the parlor trying to read. But the words In the book dance before her eyes. Thump! Thump! THUMP! goes Sylvia's heart. For she is waiting for her first beau. . . . Must she shake hands with him? How shall she greet him? What will she talk about when he comes? “Oh, how silly you are!” Sylvia scolds herself, “to be shy and shaky at the thought of Tom!’’ For she has known Tom all her life. Only this noon he carried her books home from high school. And they talked gaily of a thousand things . . . hockey games and algebra problems. But somehow this is different! Tom isn’t Just the boy next door any more. He Is her First Beau, coming to call . . to call upon his Best Girl. The grandfather’s clock In the hall strikes 8. Then the door bell rings! Sylvia runs to open the door. There stands a brand-new Tom . . . one she has never seen before.

Martha Lee Say Men May Lay ‘Claim ’ to Inconsistency, Too

Inconsistency is a special fault usually attributed —by men —to woman. And yet, she has no copyright on it. For instance A man admires another woman who uses a great deal of make-up, but criticises his wife for doing the same thing.

He offers cigarets to other girlß and calls them “good sports" if they take an occasional drink, but censures his sister for a few puffs of a cigaret or a couple of sips of wine. He chats chumily with the modern grandmother who bobs her hair and Is “on the go” constantly, but wants his mother to be the dear, oldfashioned, gentle kind that depends on her children for contact with the world. He approves of the almost masculine efficiency of his stenographer, but wants his di lighter to be the most feminine o i feminines. Ha rays willingly to make his business efficient, but, expects his wife to make her hoir e Just as efficient without paying. And he calls women inconsistent!

His hair Is like patent leather. His face is shiny with soap, and red with shyness. He has a flower in his buttonhole. And he stutters! N “H-hello, S-sylvie!” he says. “Hello,” Sylvia answers. Her own voice seems a thousand miles away. . . . Presently they are seatedon the old sofa in the parlor. Sylvia is at one end, and Tom at the other . . . and the poles of the earth are not farther apart. Or so it seems to Sylvia™ "Cold out doors?” Sylvia asks at last. Tom nods silently, miserably. “What’ll I say next?” Sylvia wonders. Bui there is nothing to say. Out In the dining room Dad is tuning in. And suddenly the music of a jazz band hundreds of miles away fills the house. “Mandalay!”’ Sylvia cries, "They’re playing ‘Mandalay!’ Don't you adore It. Tom? Let's dance. . . . And they do. And Sylvia forgets to be shy . . . forgets that To n la her first beau . . . He’s Just good old Torn . . . the best dancing partner In the world. (Copyright, 1926, by NEA Service.)

Hubby’s Inconsistency Desr Mlb* Irf*e: I have been married four rears and love mj husband dearly. But there U on thlnr we always quarrel about. He wants to dictate to me about how much route and powder I should use and how I should dress. II he thinks I have too much make-up on. he raves for hours, and he does the same thing when I wear anything he thinke U Immodest or conspicuous. 1 wouldn't mind so much If he felt the same about all women, but he never objects to such things In my friends. What can x d' to change him? WORRIKD WIFF. your husband cannot escape the charge of Inconsistency, but he can defend himself on the point chat he Is so particular about your looks beca ss he does not want you expose yourself to criticism. Undoubtedly he does this because he loves you. Perhaps his Judgment is bettev than yours, and you are the sort ol woman who makes herself ridiculous If she uses much make-up. or wears bright colors. At any ra*u, I should advlße you to follow your husband’s suggestion in this matter. Thus you will avoid ‘rouble at home, and at the same time will give yourself a distinctive appearance. At First Sight Dear Miu Lee: I met s man three weeks ago and have been going steady with him every since. He wants me ti marry him. I said I had not known btai long enough, but he said that didn't matter, because it was a case of love at first eighty I do think I love him. Should I marry him? I am 20 and he is 22. WORRIED JANE. ‘‘Lovo at first sight" sounds romantic, and some times it is. But it is well to test It for a long time, to be sure It lasts, before you risk marriage. Love Is too uncertain, anyway, for you to take such a gamble as the one this man proposes. WHITE ANSWER<TTmITH In a letter to John F. White, secretary Federation of Civic Clubs, Representative Claremont R. Smith (Marion County) expressed surprise at the stand the federation took against his bill, providing for repeal of law giving cities the right to select their own form of city government. The bill was defeated. White replied to Representative Smith’s letter, setting out that the federation favored the city manager plan. Edward O. Snethen, president’, has called a meeting of the executive committee Thursday night to consider advisability of circulating petitions for the city manager form. Better Training Urged Better training of ministerial candidates was urged in a resolution adopted by Indianaopllg baptist Ministers’ Union. "Pioneer Missionaries in Japan" will be the topic of the Rev. H. W. pastor Second Baptist Church, at the next meeting, March 18. £

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON TO LESLIE PRESCOTT Well, I’ll say one thing, Leslie dear, and that is your husband may have his faults, but when he gets Into action, he Is that often 'mentioned, but seldom found human dynamo. I was nearly wild about Jimmy Condon, as you know, for Mr. Prescott told me that he left the two letters that enclosed to him for you to read. I was. glad he did for I knew that you would understand. You would know as I did that the boy was not wholly to blame. Some times, Leslie, when I see a little Ignorant scheming she-devil like Mabel Carter making every man with whom she comes in contact bow down and kiss her feet, I feel like raising hlgh-hands to heaven* and forswearing both men and women forever. The world, the flesh and the devil seem to kick up such awful hullabaloos at times and then, my dear, down deep In my heart I know I am rather envious of those superwomen. Do ,’t look at me as though I had said something terrible for you know I could never be one of those vampire creatures, however much I would want to be, and when I think, dear, of the thousands and thousands of blessed women like you, I get my balance back again. I don’t know what your husband said to Jimmy when he returned here. He had a long session with him and when the boy came out of his office he looked as though he had been run through a mangle. If he felt as flat as he looked Mr. Prescott had certainly done him some good. If ever you saw a cowed young egotist, that kid was one. And now I am going to say something perfectly terrible, dear, but between you and me I think Mr. Prescott was a little harder than he might have been if he had not remembered the first time he saw the lady. I remember he was quite inclined to think she was a maligned and lovely creature. I think, my dear, that poor Jimmy had to take some of the lashing he was giving himself. It is all right now. however. Jim hasn’t looked sidewise since Mr. Prescott got back. He is working harder than ever and as I lent him the thousand dollars to make up the pay-roll, no on© except o raelves la any the wiser. Her vamping ladyship is somewhere on the way toward South America and Mr. Prescott is patting himself on the back and acting very righteous and grand. Oh, Leslie, Leslie, isn’t life wonderful and aren’t men a scream. (Copyright, 1925. NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT—This letter continued.
