JAZZ AGE TODAY DOESN’T TOLERATE ‘I AM GETTING OLD’

Down Underneath Our Tinsel We're Vita!, Healthful, De- # veloping, Says Martha Lee, Who Answers Complaint of ‘Nineteen/ By Martha Lee A good thing that can be said of this topsy-turvy, jazzy age of ours is that there’B something in the general trend of thought that makes and keeps people young.

Nobody any longer looks sympathetic when you sai", "I’m getting Did." They’re much more sympathetic when you mention that (rou’re on a diet and trying to keep young and spry. Persons who croak about Rome tnd decadence and SRy we’re headed ter oblivion along with our gin flasks, tc&nty clothes and colorful dancing Ihould take note of this reaching-for-youth tendency. It has real tignificance. It means that underneath our tiniel we're vital, healthful, developing; that there’s a strong pull for perfection In our Inner class consciousness. We are shying away from weakness, Secay, dependence. It’s a wonderful age. Older Women Offend Dear Martha Lee: I am an up-to-date roung woman and I am considered a ulaasy dresser, so you see I am not griping because I am old-fashioned, but I want to aay that the women who are twice tny are certainly give me a pain trying to look and be ae young aa we girls. 1 work In a hose manufactory here and am of girls and women, and the women make me tired, even had one who tried and aJirfGßt aucceeded in taking my "steady” Sway from me. He's about twelve,years founder than she is, and if I hadn t of almost turned the place up6ide down, she would have got him. Kven now he has ihe face to tell me that he admires her more than any woman he has even met. ft just makes me boil. I will be ninteeen In May. hose. Are you sure, Rose, that you did not misunderstand this woman's Intentions? The fact that your young man so highly respects her would Indicate that their friendship might not have savored of the quality that you suspected. While it Is unpleasant to witness any one’s trying to play a part in life to which ho Is Hot adapted, yet there is much to he said In the prevalent never-say-Sle attitude of women, who In a past feneration would have folded their hands and got ready to settle down In the chimney corner. lyNaturally, you don't appreciate this point yet. You are too young and youth is ever Intolerant. Any way, give this woman the benefit of the doubt. Gossip Separated Them Dear Martha Lee: gome time ago. 1 a very beautiful and virtuous girl with whom I fell deeply m love. She is 38. I am 26. She loved me a great deal, but you know how small towns are about talking and there were several stories apread about my past life that are not true. These caused her to turn her love Into ordinary friendship. This has hurt me more than I can tell —to have her treat me as an ordinary friend. I have tried everything to win her back—iealousy. cave man tactics, gentlemanliness, everything, but all to no Rvail. I have tried to force m.vself to hate or, but I cannot and I would gladly give my life for her love. If you can offer a solution, you will have my undying appreciation. ALEX. Are you sure that It’s simply the Btories that have affected her? If these false reports constitute the for her change of manGBpyour problem won’t be hard. First, stop all artificial, stagey tactics. Be natural, pleasant, but firm. If you can’t easily talk with her.

write her, but convey the following thoughts: That you believe her to be fair-minded, with a sense of justice and that you are addressing her simply as one human being to another (leave all lover-llke references out of this approach). Tell her that you know there have been stories circulated about you, and that as they .are untrue, you feel that her sense of fair play will allow you to defend yourself. Then obtain a definite date to make your plea for the justice that is the right of every human being. I’m sure this will appeal to her sense of fair play. If the stories caused the trouble, she’ll thaw out. If 3he is still cold, you’ll have to come to the point to find out the reason. Explain your high regard (but don’t be too ardent); tell her you appreciate herTast evidence of for you and that you want to know frankly if you have a chance with her.

THE STORY SO FAR RALPH CLU NY. 68. was murdered juat before he wan to have married CHERRY LANE. 18. Aa if that not enough for people to talk about. Cherry disappeared, leaving a note for her plater, FAITH, atying she could not go on with the wedding. Later it v.as discovered Cherry had run away and married CHKIS WILEY. News of the murder is kept from Mrs. Lane, Cherry mother, who is in a hospital suffering from h"art trouble. All she knows Is that Cherry has run away and married CHRTS WILEY. Cherry has lived a butterfly life. Always there have been many men In love with her and she has been engaged to more than a few. She tried to run away with ALBERT BTTLESON, a married traveling salesman, and was rescued by Faith and a young mail, 808 HATHAWAY. Up to this time Bob had been very much interested in Cherry, but now he paid more attention to Faith, who has loved him for a long time. They are engaged now and although Faith did not want to announce it yet Bob has told the police and the world in general. . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY * The wisdom of Faith's move In regard to her mother was made manifeste less than five minutes later by the arrival of a police officer with a summons for the appearance of all members of the Lane family, except Joy, before the coroner’s jury. With Mrs. Lane In the hos-

pltal, committed there by her physician for acute heart trouble, there could be no question of her appearing before that body. Junior had already smuggled Joy’s packed suitcase out of the house and had driven away to his “store on wheels," to take Joy to her grandparents’ home. At twelve minutes after nine. Faith, hampered In everything she tried to do by the constant ringing of the telephone, left the receiver off the hook. She did not replace It until a quarter to ten, when she andBob and hor father were ready to leave In Bob’s car for the Inquest. She was wearing the shabby old brown coat over the black satin dress she had worn to the church the day before, but she had freshened the frock with crisp, lace-trim-med white organdie collar and cuffs. She realized that neatness and attractiveness, without ostentation, would have a good effect upon those who had Cherry's fate In their hands. If only the coroner’s jury would return a verdict of "death at the hand or hands of persons or persons unknown.” It seemed to Fhith, when Bob maneuvered for a parking place near the Cluny house, that thousands of curious people were packed In the street, for the entire block on which the house was located. Mounted cops tried to keep the throngs In order. Newsboys, shrieking, "Cherry Gives Up!” ran In and out of the crowd, selling "extras" of the afternoon papers. The word went through the packed masses of humanity that the sister and father of the runaway bride were arriving, and police made way for them. When they reached the steps, two men detached themselves from the group awaiting their arrival and ’came forward with outstretched hands. One was Chief of Police Morehouse, and the other was George Pruitt. "Hello, Hathaway. Good morning. Miss Faith,” the chief's smile was kindness itself. "Hello, Faith,” George l Pruitt gripped her hand so tightly that she winched even as she smiled. "I guess you and Cherry both knew you can count on the Pruitt*.” He spoke with his usual loud heartiness, and the cluster of reporterif on the porch lost not a syllable nor an atom of his meaning. The Lincoln Pruitts! And Bob Hathaway! "The runaway flapper bride of Myrtle Street" was not without her influential friends. “Is my—my sister here, Mr. Morehouse?" Faith asked In a low voice. "Just got here a couple of minutes ago. She and Wiley are In the library now. The inquest will be held in the drawing room.” “Oh, could I see her, please?” Faith begged. "Just for a minute.” "Don’t see any harm In that," the chief passed his hand over his shock of fine gray hair. “Won’t mind an officer or two in the room will you?" "Just let me see her,” Faith cried. The chief led the way through the group of reporters and detectives. “Right in here. Miss Faith." “Oh, Faith, Faith, darling! I didn’t do it Faith! Don’t let them think I did It, Faith!” A little figure came flying across the room, flung itself Into Faith’s outstretched arms. (Copyright, 1026, NEA Service, Inc.) Next: The inquest Into the cause and manner of death of Ralph Cluny is formally opened. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Beaman of Indianapolis, have arrived in Fort Lauderdale to spend the winter with Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Repass, their daughter and son-in-law.

Business over, he surveyed thn room. “You have a beautiful oil there.” he said, turning his flashlight on a sunrise canvas. "The mellow tones and the half-lights of the background arq almost perfect.” HOW OLD IS ADELINE? The burglar then prepared to leave, first complmentlng his client on her poise and graciousness. "Perhaps had I been bom 20 Instead of 69 years ago, I should have followed the conventional behavior of women /ncountering burglars," rejoined the lady. "Fifty-nine.

The luxurious boudoir, the well-groomed burglar, the poised lady In her black georgette nightie—no, It would be pnjamas—and the suave, well-bred, sparkling lines passing from bed to dressing table where the burglar gathered his pelf?

Not long ago I heard a mother say —"Marjorie doesn't care whn* I say or do so long as I know the modem wise-cracks and say smart nothings. If we moderns can coat our lectures with a sugar-coating of smart flippancy, we may perhaps get our Ideas across, but the kid will not listen to ordinary phrases and words! “I find myself rehearsing as I sew or wash dishes, smart nothings that will make Majorie regard me as a person and not 'just a mother’.” , Let's see.
