Fight for Principle and Plain Scrap Differ Widely BY MARTHA LEE Fighting for a principle and plain petty scrapping are quite different things. The latter Is worse than a waste of time, and though like a thunderstorm it may somewhat clear the atmosphere, the price paid Is often a heavy and dangerous one. 1 “I wouldn’t give In, just for the principle of the thing,” sounds well and makes a nice justification for keeping a bulldog grip on one’s own opinions or prejudices. It's rarely that in the heat of the “won’t give in” attitude a single Issue is ever settled for the best good of those concerned.

VELVET FOR CHIC
For glorifying both beautiful womanhood and youthful miss, .this year the French designers evidently favor the charm enhancing effect of velvet, as they deftly manipulate it into the most interesting shapes for the coming fall and winter modes. The Agnes model, shown at the top, is of Yale blue and blue Astor velvet in a fifty-fifty effect, is one of the new millinery innovations that may be worn “any ole way” and yet look smart. The next, from Mme. Suzy, is a snugfitting model of bottle green velvet with liqueur green and falling cape-like on the shoulder. The last. Is of glacier blue velvet with bands Os matching blue and silvery gray moire encircling Its t crown. This may be smartly worn with the new printed velvet or simply tailored satin frocks.
She ‘Acted Up’ Dear Martha Lee: I wonder It you could give me any suggestion about the following matter. The trouble seems to be getting worse all the time and I am afraid it will make serious trouble between my husband and me If something doesn't change. His father was about to make a division in some property and my sister-in-law butted in and asked to have a certain bungalow, Now to tell the truth I don’t really think it is nicer than the other house, but It just made me so mad that she have so darn much nerve and I acted up quite a bit and all the folks seems to be disgusted with me. My husband is treating me very cool and say he is ashamed of me. Now I'm no ’’softie” and I don't want to give them the impression that I am, but still I feel bad about this. What would you advise? MRS. M. D. B. It is evident that you feel that you are in the wrong and the sooner you get this straightened out the better. Frankness is your only weapon here. Just tell your father-in-law or whoever you feel you should discuss this with, that you talked and acted on the impulse of the moment. Every one recognizes that It trkes real courage to admit a fault and all concerned in Ihis will respect your courage in coing this. One has to be just to himself as well as to others, though, and perhaps your sisters-in-law hasty request was unjustified, but if you proceed in a reasonable and dignified manner to straighten this family muddle, I’m sure you’ll be surprised how easily matters will adjust themselves In a harmonious manner. His Actions Disturb Dear Martha Lee: I halre been going steadily with a young man for quite a while. The last few dates with him ht.ve been very unpleasant. Now Miss Lee I have been a decent girl and I don't feel that I should change for him even though I love him. and he says he loves me. He never speaks of marriage. Do vou think he loves me? Bhall I continue with him or would it be wise to quit? TW. If he cannot respect your attitude and doesn't appreciate you you are, quit him as he is looking for a lower caliber girl than you are. Don’t dream of acceding to his ideas. I’m afraid he does not love you, dear girl. His avoidance of the subject of marriage and his desire to lower yeur standards, surely indicates his motives and attitude. He does not seem worthy of you. “Mary” asks “is there any harm in kjssing a boy if he holds you tight and kisses you awfully hard? Well, I should say the process as you describe it does sound rather fraught with danger, Mary. I seriously advise you to abstain from this. ' “Mrs. Nineteen,” I do not give addresses in this column, but you can get information such as you ask for by looking over the advertising columns of the newspapers.

Woman’s Day
BY ALLEGE SUMNER Why can't we humans live and let live? But we can’t. It’s ndt enough for us to go serenely about our own lives and our own jobs, but we must have the audible approval of the rest of the world, and its spoken admission that our loves, our jobs, our play, Is more worth while than that of all the rest. In addition to approval and acceptance of our lives, we demand pity and sympathy and recognition that our lot, perhaps, is harder than that of any one else. Not until we stand thus accepted and thus paid tribute to as poor mortals are we at peace. No two class of people so illustrate this truth as a married woman whose life and job is in the home, and an unmahried woman whose life and job is outside the home. The wife seems to think that only by disapproving of the other woman’s life and work can she really accept her own, an<j_ the unmarried business woman seems to believe that only by jeering at the efforts of the home maker can she really Justify her own existence. The little squabble goes on especially merrily in a family which contains both kind of women. The married daughters will doubtless come off as victors in the argument and have much, the easeir time convincing the major portion of thp family that their lot is hardest and their job most worth while. The reason for this is evident. The parents, having lived in an age when all women were either married or hired girls, naturally know one life, its trials and meaning, but not the other. It is natural, too, for them to uphold their own lot. The business daughter in a family whose major members are married is expected to understand and sympathize with and enter into the general and individual problems of her family. She is supposed to appreciate to the full when brothers-in-law are out of work, when the children have the measles, when rent goes up, when the house needs painting, when sistdtr can’t have a new dress, or when the plumbing freezes. But no one ever gives a thought to her own life or her own cask, or if they do it is with the bland assumption that "Molly certainly has it niee; nothing to do but sit in a nice clean office all day long and draw her pay Just as regular.” No one ever thinks to gonsider Molly’s trials of competition, various office troubles, and the eternal nervedraining task of "delivering the goods.” In self-defense at depreciation given her, Miss Business Woman hoots and jeers at the inefficiency of home-staying women, who make mountains out of mble hills. One of the pert remarks, more or less accurate, of the business woman :s to the effect that if she managed her wage-paying Job as sloppily as wives manage their Jobs, she’d be fired pronto. Another grievance of Miss Business Woman is that the average wife thinks herself killed if her work is not finished by afternoon and the rest of the day is not free for rest and amusement,

Women Win Recognition as Spenders The General Federation of Women’s clubs this year is advocating a scientific study of family finance in the programs of women’s clubs on the theory that women have become the financiers in their homes and that on a scale which is much greater than is commonly believed to be the case. The objective of the federation is not so much an academic consideration of the question, but a study of the problem in its practical application in family life. The study goes far beyond the mere setting up of a family budget and other minor problems of household management and concerns itself with women’s activities on more fundamental financial questions as they enter into the spending and saving of money. Anna Steese Richardson, in a discussion of personal and family finances, says: “Through a survey of the Women’s Research Bureau it is found that mechanics, clerks, salesmen and other workers by the millions are handing over their pay envelopes to their wives, not grudgingly, but with the utmost confidence that these wives would give the best possible returns In foods, clothing, home comforts and investments. Decide Money Issues “It is found that women Increasingly decide practically every financial problem which arises in the home, from the make of the car to the price of her husband’s neckties; from the amount to be invested in anew nome to the cost per yard of the glazed chintz curtains at its windows: not because these women are overbearing or dictatorial but because they know their Job and the wage earners of the family know they know it. "Women, the survey shows, Influence directly the purchase of 95 per cent ot the furniture and musical instruments sold in America. Their* is the deciding vote in the sales of 83 per cent of clothing for the family, and, strange to say, 61 per cent of all sales of haberdashery for men. They are the deciding factor in the purchase of 90 per cent of the automobiles and 84 per cent of the wives who drive their husband’s cars also, decide what sort of gasoline shall be used in running the car. Talk to Mothers “These statements are proved by a glance at advertising pages anywhere. Youth must be served and fathers must raise the cash, but the writers of advertisements appeal directly to mother, whether they are exploiting anew food product, car, refrigerator, wall covering or disinfectant. “There are startling statistics, too, about women who have invested their earnings in the great industrial and public utilities companies of America; not the wives of millie nalres, but the wives of salaried men. These figures are supplied by the corporation officials who sign the dividend checks. Lastly, statistics show the increasing number of women’s income tax returns filed, proving their status as home owners and investors. “Women investors and financiers, considered from this standpoint, are far differently interested in the study of handling money from the old unenthusiastic consideration of ‘thrift programs.’ These must now be supplanted by a study of actual business methods, the borrowing of money, negotiation of insurance, notes and mortgages, with all the other things that go to make up the business world so long left solely to men.”

BY SISTER MARY BREAKFAST—Fresh plums, cereal, cream, crisp broiled bacon with tomatoes, graham toast, milk, coffee. LUNCHEON—MoIded salmon salad, rye bread, apple tapioca pudding with lemon sauce, milk, tea. DINNER—Mutton chops, riced potatoes, new turnips in cream, orange salad, blackberry sorbet, cocoanut cup cakes, milk, coffee. The custom of including finger bowls with the fruit service for breakfast will save many a stained napkin. While fresh fruit stains will usually disappear if boiling water Is poured through them before laundering, occasionally a napkin is overlooked and the stain disfigures it for months. If the fingers are dipped into water after the fruit course and gently “dabbed” across the lips before using the napkin all danger of stain is removed. Blackberry Sorbet One quart blackberries, 1 cup sugar, *4 cup water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons granulated gelatine, 2 tablespoons cold water, 1 egg white. 801 l sugar and water together for five mniutes.

‘Good’Folk Often Sho'um Harshness BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Almost every day in any city paper one can read an account of a baby abandoned by the road side, or In some dark alleyway. One pictures the anguish of the mothers of these helpless infants. The surreptitious journeys, the heartache, shame, the hidden degradations, and last of all, that moment when some human being becomes such a serf to custom, that an innocent life is left to sob Itself out in the night. These babies meet such a fate, primarily, because so many good women have such cruel hearts, because so many mothers shield their philandering sons. The girl, who has an unfortunate love experience, and then asks society or friends to regard her as they have always done, is asking too much, it seems, from persons who make loud prayers in the market place, but in their hearts have no love for the erring. Fathers Suffer Least And the fathers of these children, do you suppose that no qualms of conscience ever strike them, or that! their nights are not made wakeful thinking of the havoc they have wrought? But one discusses them very seldom, these boys and men who kiss and go happily away unconcerned about such fateful c■quences. What do they know of the tears that are shed, of the awful fears that grip the unmarried mother’s heart, of the haunting horror o| such an experience, an experience) that no future happiness that life) can give will ever be able to obliu erate from the memory. And are good women nbt to blamq for some of these things, smug mar* ried women, arbiters of conventions* who hold the flaming sword over the heads of weak girls who are found out in their sin? What Girl Faces How many doors remain open to the girl who is a mother though sha boasts no marriage license? How many friends are stanch enough to stick with her during the dark days? How many parents have hearts big enough to forgive and forget, and, most important of all, how many parents of the other party in the sin, the boy, are fine enough to put half the blame on him? Mighty few. So few indeed that many newly born babies, in your community and mine, meet the fate of unwanted kittens. This is a horrible record we are making for our civilization. Th s is a ghastly Christianity we practice, we who send our missionaries to heathen nations, who though they may worship idols at least protect their girls. Christ was kind to the Magdalen. But it seems that we cannot enough of His spirit to say, “Goflpl sin no more.” " wr Wed at Ossian The marriage of Mis Esther Gorrell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Frank Gorrell of Ossian, and Herman Polhemus, son of Rev. and Mrs. Preston Polhemus of Richmond, will take place Friday at the home of the bride’s parents, with the bridegroom’s father officiating. The couple will live in Ossian.
