HERE’S A NEW THOUGHTCONCERNING MODERN FLAPPERS

Os Course They*Are Hard, but It Is Because of the Age— I Just Like Evolution Gave the Oyster a Shell for Protection It. Needed. By Martha Lee !Why did the oyster grow a shell? Because, in the process of evolution the oyster needed it as a protection.

By iho same token, the giraffe Heeded a long neck and the kangaroo, a pouch, ao they grew them. We do exactly the same thing; We develop what we need to protect ouselves from our enemies. The flapper of today has developed something of a hard shell—we admit it, but Isn’t this her Idea of growing a protection for herself? She’s living In a hard age. Women do not have the sheltered and protected lives of even a generation ago. "Their own fault” say the men. Well—perhaps. Anyway, the “Hardness” and apparent defiance of the flapper Is largely a surface thing. It is her protection while she is making the mental adjustments that a swiftly changing age is imposing upon her. Has Flapper Daughter Dear Martha Lee: I have two daughters and 1 am constantly worried about them. “Wo can take care of ourselves. l>on t be always trying to boss us. mother, they tell me whenever I try to give them advice about things. My younger daughter, who is only 17. thinks she knows more about life than X do. She is out at all hours, says that all the girls do the same way that she does, and Miss I/ee. It makes me sick at heart to hear her talk about the subjects we used to ■consider almost sacred . She seems so ■hard, yet I know she is a good girl. Mothers have a hard time nowadays, don’t you think so? MOTHER OP TWO. Indeed it Isn’t easy to be a modern parent \>ut I truly believe things aren’t as had as they might seem to you. I can’t think that feminine 'hearts can make much change in one generation. The hardness of maimer Is no more than a shell, partly assumed as a badge of "up-to-dateness” and partly as a protection. “How do you get that way?” the flapper of today exclaims to the “fresh” young man. Oh, she’s well able to care of herself, this slangy young woman and she’s not as bad as she sounds. lYy to get your daughters’ point of view. There's nothing gained by condemning. Be as chummy as you can, love them and trust them. "That attitude will help them to confide in you. Loves a Married Woman Dear Martha Lee: I am a fellow 21 years old. I am in love with a girl who TRY THIS FDR ft COLD-jTS FINE! ••Pape’s Cold Compound” ends severe colds or grippe in few hours You can errtl | grippe and break W U p a severe cold either In head, W chest, body or S* "TS Jf limbs, by talcing a nk\ Jj dose of “Pape’s IV VCgry Cold Compound” /'A every ( two hours "x \ until three doses \ Mr ‘ i are taken.

is married—-has been married about a year. Not long ago, they separated and sno looks very sad. I know sno lovos her husband, but he does not love her. Now in my eyes, she ts everything and I lons to win her love and make her happy. When she sees me. she speaks, but that is all. Os course she dot's not know, and no one else doci. that X love her. 1 hate to see Her sad. What can I do? UNHAPPY. I’m thinking you’d better stay on the side lines for the present, at (oast. If she loves her husband, they are likely to he reunited, even though you may judge her husband Is Indifferent to her. Can’t you find some unmarried girl that would interest you? The chances are that you’re ■ wasting your time thinking of this one. Os course if you have one of those great Imperishable loves we read about, you might have the opportunity to impress her in time, but I’m inclined to think you are swayed by sympathy for her apparent unhappiness. “Pity Is akin to love” you know. Put your mind on sonjething else, if you possibly can. He Breaks Dates t’ I>ear Martha Lee: I’m 17 and pretty young to have trouble*, but my boy friend, who is 20 and is the only one I care about, is the cause. Ho is a good boy and has a good name, but he is always breaking dates with me. What could I do to make him treat mo better? He doesn’t go with any one ?lse. I’m awfully tired of fussing and trying to make him see how I feel about It. “BUG.” Quit fussing and have an understanding of nls reason for breaking his engagements. Try and impress him with the fact that It causes your worry. If he cares for you, he will quit this unkind practice. If he doesn’t, why bother with him further?

The WOMAN’S DAY ■ fly Aliene Sumner

"US GIBES” NEED HELP The doleful plight of the poor bachelor maid who delves and toils from 9 to 6, and most homeward wend her weary way to a round of collars to be washed, silk hose to bp darned, and suits to be pressed, Is getting the London press in quite a furore. The greatest minds of the empire write voluminous letters to the press, urging various ways and means. They recognize that the tolling male has a wife or mother or sister to darn his socks, send his collars to the laundry, and perhhaps press his suits, but that the working female has no one but herself to rely upon. “LADIES’ MAIDS" Boiling all the prattle and clatter down, what working women need are old fashioned ladies' maids —not on a fulltime basis, perhaps, as Queen Elizabeth or Cleopatra employed their toiling minions. But why don’t some asprllng young things who "just love” to fuss with silk things, and mend lace, and catch runs, and steam velvet wraps, and press tweed suits, and, perhaps, get a nice little tea for two, go into this business of hour-by-hour work for bachelor maids? Three or four hours a week would fix things ufMrre-t '- - s u and most of us len '•b w? would j rathe bill! ' r ’ISM! But why be silly? Where are we toiling spinsters to find these jewels ip the realm female? The same reason that makes us prefer to pound typewriters and tackle filing cases and glue our ears to switchboards, Is the very same reason why we can’t hire "Ladies' Maids." They don’t like greasy dish water and dye soaps and sewing needles and thd^lroning board any mor© than we do! Talk and talk and talk as you will, you oan not make housework attractive to many women. We all despise it, and It has to be done, What’re we going to do about it? Can’t the alert commercial world do something? AND YET—WHY NOT? It’s an old, moth-eaten question this—why won’t girls do housework? But once again, aside from the fact given above that it’s the nastiest work in the world, why won’t they? Homes offer glowing inducements—private suites with bath, use of car with chauffeur, month vacations with wages, radio in her own home— * everything in the world except what none of us will be without—more or less regular hours and some time for ourselves on which we can plan. B IT EVER SO SMALL! “Thank God for a garden, be it ever so small!" wrote the poet. No matter how poetical may be the housewife’s soul, there are times when a sprig of parsley for the fish plate delights her soul more than the rarest orchid that ever blew. Which is why Vich housewife would enjoy a certain little |tome called "The Little Kitchen Garden” by Dorothy Giles. WHO WAS HER ENEMY? It’s just a slim little book, this new one of Willa Cather’s. It will take you little longer to read "My Mortal Enemy” than the evening paper. So there is little excuse to miss this gem of word artistry. Only two people live in the book—Oswald and Myra, his wife, and perhaps a third, little Nellie Birdseye, who acts as historian of this emotion-crammed When one leaves Myra dead in her blankets propped against the old tree overlooking the bay, one Is- not sure, after all, just what her mortal enemy was—greed, ambition, jealousy, or'sheer hatred of the commonplace? Read it! It’s v a woman’s book. “A RADIO MOVIE” A motion picture company has filmed announcers and artists at work In the studio of WSAI. Cincinnati.

Saint aid Sinner By ANNE AUSTIN

As Cherry guided Bob Hathaway’s roadster through the streets of the downtown business district, she chatted gaily with Bob, turning her head occasionally to call out a laughing comment to her sister, perched on the little seat that had been unfolded from its concealment In the rear of the car. “We mustn’t let anyone suspect there’s anything up,” she had told Bob, as they left the residential section. "Talk about anything under the sun, Just so you talk —and laugh.” i It was an apparently gay and carefree quartet—for even Pete Gonzales was grinning more humanly and adding his bit to the conversation —that drew up before the ten-story office building in which Alexander Cluny, prominent corporation lawyer* had bis suite of offices. “Pete and I’ll go up to see Alexander, and you and Faith had better drive on over to my office and wait there for me. Here’s a key. If Lola Gonzales has returned by any chance —and I’m darn sure she hasn’t —hold her ’till I get there. I don’t imagine I’ll be long, but wait for me In any event,” Bob told Cherry. “I’m afraid you’re a very masterful man,” Cherry laughed. "I’d been counting on getting an awful kick out of hearing Alex Cluny hiss between clenched teeth, ’Coisses Foiled!’ Good luck, Bob!” They found Bob’s office deserted, as they had expected and settled themselves comfortably to wait for Bob’s return. Cherry soon grew tired ol talking” over the strange events of the day with her sister and found a magazine to read. Faith pretended to read an afternoon paper Which they had found in front of the locked door, but her eyes were soft and sightless, turned upon the contemplation of the happiness which come to her in that room a short two hours before. "I believe I’ll make Ralph ask Bob to be his best man,” Cherry dispelled the quiet suddenly. "Hasn’t he been a ueach today? And Ralph would probably want some grayhaired old grandpa to stand up with him, If I’d let him have his way.” “Won’t It look rather odd?” Faith smiled. "Half the audience would whisper to . each other that the young chap looked like the best man, If you asked them.” "Don’t be a killjoy, darling,” Cherry pouted. If Bob turns It down, Ralph shan’t have any best man! Maybe Bob’d be an usher, anyway. George and Bill have accepted you know. I’ve got to get the wedding Invitations out . tomorrow or next day. Two hundred and fifty,” she announced complacently. "Good heavens. Cherry! Are you going to Invite the whole town?” "No, Just the social register,” Cherry grinned Impudently. "Ralph’s going to help me make out the list

tonight. I’ve put down almost every one I can think of already. Presents? Oh, boy, I do wish we didn’t live In such a dump.” They had been waiting forty minutes when Bab Hathaway’s unmistakable brisk step wag heard In the hall. Both girls'- sprang up to greet him as he flung the door open. “Well, did he confess?” Cherry demanded, her golden eyes sparkling with excitement. She seized his arm and clung to it with such a pretty, confiding gesture that Faith’s heart contracted sharply with Jealousy. “i’ll say he did!” Bob laughed down at her, but there was pain and bitterness in his eyes. "Lord!” You love it—all this row, don’t you? Getting an awful wallop out of It. I wish I were.” "Tell us. Bob,” Faith’s voice was quiet and a little cold. He sensed her hurt instantly, and disengaged his arm from Cherry's clinging fingers. He flung himself down upon the divan, wearily, one hand drawing Faith to a seat beside him. Cherry perched on the overstuffed arm of the souch and swung one tiny foot provocatively near him. She was utterly blind to the truth of his love for Faith, for she die’ not dream that any man, seeing the two of them together, could fall to prefer her. "He bluffed at first, of course, but I told him In mighty short order that Pete had confessed fully and that Lois had been caught red-handed. I’m afraid I let him Infer that Lola had confessed to his part In the -scene, too, though I suppose she phoned him as soon as Faith and I left the office. At any rate, I made him come clean, and then he began to bargain with me. Said if we and let the matter drop, without telling Uncle Ralph a thing about the poiron letters or Pete’s shadowing Cherry, that he’d see that the family swung into line and made a pretense of welcoming Cherry as Uncle Ralph’s fiancee. Said he was willing to fight if we were—that Cherry had more to lose than he did, for It seems he believes he's got the low-down on her —" "I’ll fight him!” Cherry cried. Tm not afraid of him —” “No, you won’t; I’ve given a promise for the three of us." Bob interrupted her sternly. “There’s no use making Uncle Ralph miserable with the whole dirty business, and If the Allbrights and the Alexander Clunys live up to Alex’s bargain, and withdraw opposition, you’ve really beaten them. Can’t you see that?” Cherry's face cleared Instantly as her agile brain Jumped ahead to a new phase of the matter. “Tell you what—” she laughed gleefully, swinging both feet In mad triumph, “I’ll ask Muriel Allbright to be one of the bridesmaids, and i she’ll have to do It. Wow!” (To Be Continued) TOMORROW: The defeated Cluny relatives send an emissary of peace —Mrs. Allbriglit—to call on Cherry.
