MEN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND LOVE FOR FINE FEATHERS
Women Love Pretty Clothes Because They Primarily Please the Something Within Herself That Responds to Beauty, Says Martha Lee. By Martha Lee Why do women like pretty clothes, and for whom do they dress? Is it for themselves, or to impress other women or is it to attract men, that they take such huge satisfaction in being stylish and chic and having on the “latest?”
Even the South Sea Islander husband must puzzle his wooly head over this when his village women dance forth from their huts with red hibiscus behind their ears and new shredded wheat skirts around slim waists; but he’s no more baffled than the North American whose wife sends home three hats on approval and tries them on, literally for hours. The husband only vaguely grasps that women "dress” whereas men merely clothe themselves, but he can testify and understand that this same “dressing” empties the pocketbook. That women actually find soul expression, find sheer spiritual uplift in looking their best—no, this he can never understand. "When I’ve grown terribly low in my spirits and things look drab and uninteresting, why, I go and buy a new hat and life takes on new interests,” a famous prima donna once declared. That sounds shallowminded of course, but even a really substantial woman can find worlds of satisfaction in knowing that the rose of her hat facing and the vividness of her scarf bring out that rose of her skin and the blue of her eyes. Anyway, woman dresses primarily to please the something within herself that responds to beautiful coloring, line and balance; if at the same time, the man of her heart, looking upon her, has the light of approval in his eyes and other women, the gleam of respect for her art of dressing—well, it's just a good old world, that’s all. Won’t Buy Her Clothes Dear Martha Lop: What would you ad vise doing: with a man who thinks you can set along: with one dress every five years and thinks it is /foolish to buy a new hat as long as the one you have hasn't actually fallen to pieces? My husband is a good man and not so very stingy about keeping up the household ex-, penses. but I have an awful time getting hold of any money for clothes. Ho thinks I am extravagant when I want new clothes and does not seem to see that I am really shabby looklng MRS MARGARET McC. Some men are like that and all you can say makes little impression. If you are not really extravagant, it is hard to dnderstand why he akes this attitude, unless your naJural charms are so abundant tlyit ie realizes no defect in you. If you ;an’t in making him see vour point of view, perhaps there is

some talent you have, something you cin do In your spare hours that will give you extra money for pretty things. Their Action Offends Do&r Martha Lfe: What do you think of lfiyear-old pirls that ait on youiitf men s lana? There are two girls that come to my nouse to see my <laiu?hter who ant that I have objected and my daughter told the girls not to art that way, but. when they think I am not looking- they do it just the same. Now, must 1 tell their mother and shall I for* bid daughter groin* with them? I would thank any one who told mo If my girl acted that way. Do boys respect girls wno allow themselves to oe pawed over? Am I right or wrong in objecting to this? A WORRIED MOTHER. You are right and If tne girls, knowing that you object to this, still continue such actions in your house, I think they show a spirit that you do not want your daughter to be In touch with. It’s a delicate mattet—telling their mother and they would no doubt convince her that you were drawing upon your imagination. Perhaps if you talked directly to the girls, explaining why you object, It might reach them. I cannot shink worth while young men respect girls who have no respect for the conventions.

THE STORY SO FAR RALPH CLUNY. 68. was murdered just before he was to have married CHERRY LANE. 18. As If that not enough for people to talk about. Cherry disappeared, leaving a note for Her ulster, r All’ll. saying she oould not go on with the wedding. Later It was discovered Cherry had run away and married CHRIS WILEY. News- of the murder is kept from Mrs. Lane. Cherry's mother, who is In a hospital suffering trom heart trouble. All she knows Is that Cherry has run away and married CHRIS WILEY. Cherry has lived a butterfly life. Always there have been many men in love with her and she has been engaged *o more than a few. She tried to fun away with ALBERT ETTLESON. a married traveling salesnlan. and was rescued by Faith and a young man, 808 HATHAWAY. Up to this time Bob had been very much interested tn Cherry, hut now ho pays 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 tb world in general. At the trial the maid. MARY KEARNEY tells of Bob Hathaway finding Mr. CUmy, his uncle, immediately after his death. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY • The examination of Bob Hathaway by the coroner was mercifully brief and to the point. Dr. Murchison allowed him to tell, in his own words, of his arrival at the Cluny house at approximately a quarter to nine, of his finding his uncle's body a few feet from the partly opened window. He identified the broken Chinese vase, Indicated by Dr. Enos Paxton as the Instrument used in committing the murder, as the property of his uncle. • "Mr. Hathaway, do you remember where this vase was accustomed to stand?” the coroner ask^H.

"It had Its permanent place on the low book case to the right of the window which was open,” Bob answered. “May I add that in examining the room yesterday in your company I pointed out to you a faint ring of dust on the book shelf, marking the place where the vase stands?” "The housekeeper and the housemaid can verify these details later," the coroner nodded. "Now, Mr. Hathaway, what impression did you receive when you opened the door Into your uncle's room—tha. Is, If you did open the door?” “The door was closed. I knocked and received no answer. I thought my uncle might be In the bathroom and opened the door and entered. He was lying sprawled on the carpet, hls right cheek bone against the carpet. I saw at once that he had been struck on the head, and noticed that a broken vase lay on the floor, between the —the body and the window. Indicating that the person who had struck him down had stood behind him, and that hls back had been turned.” The coroner rapped rather sharply. "We must not draw conclusions, please, Mr. Hathaway. That will be all.” When he had taken hls seat, Faith whispered In great agitation, "But, Bob,*he didn’t let you tell about the

footprints! They’re not giving her a chance. Bob!” "Morehouse will undoubtedly bring all that out when he Is called.” As the morning wore away with pointless questioning of servants who knew nothing, Faith felt that her nerves were being rasped raw. At last, her own turn come. She had nothing new to tell—could only reiterate the story she had told to Police Chief Morehouse the night before. She told again how she had discovered that Cherry had fled the house, of her finding Cherry’s farewell note, which she Identified with quivering lips, when it was handed to her by the coroner, and of her frantic trip to the church to acquaint the bridal party and the rector with the news of the bride's disappearance. "Now, Miss Faith, what was your sister's attitude toward Mr. Cluny. as expressed to you, her sister?” the coroner Inquired. "She—-she was very fond of him,” Faith tried In vain to still the quiver of her lips. “She admired him, appreciated his generosity as—as a fiance” "Did she ever tell you that she regretted she had promised to marry him?” ”Yes, sir. But she couldn’t bear to hurt hls feelings. We all wanted her to break It off, but she said she respected him too much to make him a laughing stock before his friends. She Insisted on going on with plans for the wedding.” "That will do. Miss Faith, thank

MEN FOLKS CERTAINLY LOVE FOOD Banquets and Civic Virtue Are One and Inseparable. By Mrs. Walter Ferguson "An Immense get-together meeting of the Chamber of Commerce when 1,000 covers will be laid.” "Enthusiastic breakfast of 250 workers marks third day of Community Fund Drive.” “Plans for paving the stretch of road west of county line were perfected at a Tuesday luncheon by the City Boosters.” And so on endlessly. These are the dally Items you may see In every paper you read. The men certainly do love to eat. If It wasn’t for the food which Is being constantly set before them, It seems doubtful whether they would ever get any civic work done. Every time they want to raise money, or improve city conditions or elect a committeeman, they must dine. They can’t get up a bit of enthusiasm on empty stomachs or home cooking. Most of our community fund drives must be pepped up with food.

And the endless banquets to whtek wo sit down! What an instflt to honest digestions they arel Hari rolls, infinitesimal pats of btlttoi small hits of sickly salad, the puttie of cold peas, the pale mashed p<> tatoes, the weak, melting Ice oreani' But there is no doubt that the,' are country savers. We can't seer to get anything done without them. Everybody hates them, and th* speeches are nearly always worn than the food, but our brains sewn Incapable of devising any other sort of inducement to get work out o: our neighbors. Dike the slow-godm ass, somebody must always be hold lng fodder in front of our noses be fore we can be persuaded to move Os course, the women are Just a* bad, if not worse, than the men. They are perpetually having their luncheons, and before they can get up any enthusiasms of any kind, nc matter how worthy, they must bo fed hot tea and cakes. Marie Corelli once said that w would never be really civilized untl we stopped eating In publlo. Wo might not agree with that entirely, but we could almost believe tha; we wilt tjever be really sensible un til we stop eating so often In public. It looks as If when we had work to do that was worthy of doing, wo might set about It either Individually or as a clvio body without having to be coaxed with provender. And there is almost enough food wasted at one of theso general feeds to supply the pocr of the city for tt week, if properly distributed.
