WE’RE MAKING PROGRESS IN SPITE OF OUR SILK HOSE

Home-Building and Home-Making Activities on Increase Despite Women’s ‘Foolishness,’ Disgusted Avery Told. jj. By Martha Lee “The Age of Silk.’’ That’s what this decade has occasionally been dubbed. Its application hasn’t reference only to the mountains of shiny silken garments—especially silk hose that the American public now considers matter of course.

But the silk stocking is considered of pace setter and everything i com ntomes to the manner of transportation that gets you to the homes, is pointed out as being touched with the extravagant sheen of silk. Maybe this is true. The average standard of living is certainly hitting •i pretty stiff pace, but there are some encouraging facts to balance. In ten years, so the proverbial "figures which wont lie" tell us. the people have more than doubled their savings accounts; have tripled their building loan assests and increased their life insurance by 50 per cent. Homebuilding and home-making activities are on the increase (yep, figures prove it). So in spite of all the millions spent in beauty parlors, on silk stockings, on what come unmistakably under the head of luxuries, this silk- stocking ago has some listle-stocking, substantial improvements to record and we can’t . be going to the dogs as rapidly as pome writers ahd statesmen would have us believe. He's Disgusted Dear Martha Lee: Some of the letters that I read in your columns from young women certainly make me tired. However, it s just that way everywhere. The young tolks have no concern for anything serious or worthwhile. All that they think of is love-making, dancing, parties, etc. If a voung woman can get a fur coat on her back and some mosquito net silk stockings on her lege, she thinks she's all fixed up. What kind of children will this country have in the future when the future mothers act and dress like they hadn't half an ounce of sense? I'm disguested AVERT. Well, don’t be. Conditions have a way of balancing themselves. In an imperfect world there’s always something to gripe about if one will give his mind to it. Some of the dress modes do look foolish, but if the young ladies you describe are in a perfectly happy condition of mind, as you seem to think they are with their fur coats and ‘‘mosquito net" silk stockings. isn’t that something? Happy thoughts can do a lot of good in the world. He Married Another near Martha Lee: lam a girl 18 years c'd and have been going with a fellow who told me many times that he loved me very much. Three months .ago he was ailed away to another state on business. If ’ wrote to me very often and he never mentioned anything about any other girlsThe other day I received a letter from bbu felting me he was married; I was i shocked, because. Miss Lee. I love him so. What shall I do? HEARTBROK&N GIRL. There is nothing you can do, dear girl, but set your mind to dimming It he memory of him. He may have |icen sincere when he said he loved >ou. There are different degrees of love arid this new girl has simply aroused a stronger kind than you were capable of. So all you can do is to fHI your mind with other in- , terests. Try to dll every moment of time. Don’t do yourself the great injury of withdrawing from interests and friends and brooding over this.

Your “Regular" Pain Now Needless Menstruation is a perfectly natural process, but the painful part is NEEDLESS. Long study has absolutely conquered menstrual pain. Science now offers women reliable ind complete relief —in a simple, utterly harmless tablet called midol. This newest achievement 'of the laboratory has nothing to do with •Irastic, habit-forming drugs that kill l>ain by benumbing the whole system’ Midol acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, and nowhere else. Yet "relief and ibsolute comfort come in five to •even minutes! So, why have a twinge of pain—foci “low” or even uncomfortable! Or take anything to depress the heart or upset the system? All drug stores have midol in a thin aluminum box that tucks in purse or pocket for 40 cents.

Saint and wr Sinner

Wealthy RALPH CLOUT. 8. was murdered just before he was to have married frivolous CHERRT LANE. 18. Immediately Cherry disappears leaving a note for her sister FAITH, saying she could not go on with the wedding. Cherrys elopement with CHRIS WILEY becomes known. News of the murder is kept from Cherry's invalid mother but she knows of Cherry's marriage. Cherry has been engaged several times soctri ed V 0 run away with ALBERT ETTELSON a married traveling salesman, and was rescued by her sister and 808 HATHAWAY. Faith's fiance and nephew of Oluny. Cherry admits that Cluny attempted to toroe tlje marriage but protests her Innocence. Faith suspects Chris WUey, thinking he knew that Cluny had willed much money to Cherry. Charles Reiliy Neff, who drew up the will, testifies that Cluny made Cherry his chief benefioiarv whether or not she married him. The coroner’s jury releases Cherry but immediately she and her husband are arrested b.v DEVLIN deputy district attorney. „ Faith is furious w hen Bob tells her ATTORNEY STEPHEN CHURCHILL, whom he employed, thinks circumstances are against Cherry and suggests a plea of self-defense as the best chance of her freedom. Peculiar footprints and a bit of torn strap suggest that the murderer might be a cripple, but this evidence is not presented. Cherry is indicted for first-degree murder. The news is fatal to her mother. NOW 00 ON WITH THE STORY Stephen Churchill’s fame and prosperity as a criminal lawjjer were attested by the speciousness and luxurious furnishings of, his suite of offices in the Prudential Building. A grim-faced, efficient looking woman of middle age, who introduced herself as Mrs. Soatnes, Churchill’s secretary, received Bob and Faith and conducted the into Churchill’s private office. The lawyer’s leonine head was almost concealed behind dense layers of cigar smoke, which lay like a pall above the massive mahogany desk at which lie worked. "Glad to see you,” he said briskly, rising and thrusting out a hand first to Faith and then to Bob, and indicating chairs drawn/close to the desk. “I’ve got an important ease coining up for trial day after tomorrow, and I'm snowed under with work, so we'd better get down to brass tacks." Faitli nodded, her eyes seeking his through the fog of smoke. He seemed dismayingly formidable, seen here in his own luxurious quartersluxury bought by the successful defense of those accused of crime. She told herself that she should take heart by that very fact—that his success was so great as to he almost a legend in criminal court annals. “In the first place. Miss Lane,” Churchill waved a big hand in a futile effort io clear away the smoke, “l think you will agree with me that circumstantial evidence is very strong against your sister." “She is innocent, Mr. Churchill. You must believe that!” Faith leaned forward in her distress, her eyes pleading with him. “You are to he her counsel, Mr. Churchill. You, of all people, must believe she is innocent.” "I have defended a good many people—successfully—of whose inno- j c-ence 1 was not entirely convinced,'" Churchill retorted. 'Now, don't jump to conclusions, Mis3 Lane. And you, Hathaway—" he turned to Bob. who was indignantly trying to Interrupt i —"keep you shirt on. What 1 say j in the privacy of tills room will have 1 nothing to do with my conduct of t he case. That is, any doubts I may j have of Cherry’s innocence will not Interfere in any way with my esto free her. That understood?” he barked. ’I don't like the way you put It, M>\ Churchill," Faith protested. "But—" “All right. Now let me have my say. I think Cherry's best bet is selfdefense. I can clear her —a pretty girl like Cherry—before any male j jury in the land, if she'll tell a straight-forward story of what took ' place in Cluny’# bedroom that night. Wait —” he commanded them both —“Cherry goes to break her engagement with an old man so that she can marry a young one. She tells the old man that she's made a mistake, begs to be le4 off. He is furious with her. insane with anger. He locks her in the room, tells her she can't leave until she promises io go quietly with him to the church. They struggle. He strikes her. To protect herself, she hurls the vase at him, not intending to kill him. of course, but In anger at him for striking her. and for his attempting to force her into' a marriage which she I has determined not to go through | with. Unfortunately, the blow kills I him. He falls. She runs from the j room in a panic, not evq? realizing j that he is dead. She makes her es-, | cape, joins her .lover, they speed | away and are married. Terror keeps . her from telling the truth before the I coroner's Jury, but on the witness ] stand, under oath, she decides to I tell the truth, throw herself on' the j mercy of the judge and the jury. Result—another beautiful girl Is acI quitted of justifiable and unpremeditated homicide.” He spread his big hands with a gesture of satisfaction. Faith roce, trembling so that she could hardly stand. “Cherry is innocent, Mr. Churchill. She will never ; in the world consent to such a dej sense. She would rather go to the gallows or to prison for life than to secure her freedom in the way you | suggest. We’d better go. Bob,” she j turned to Hathaway, who had rLen. ! too.

The two young men present in this act, brothers, we believe, offer all their numbers together, doing some fine tap dances in unison.
