Women Get Into Grief By Talking Case of American Held by Germans Cited as Proof. Bl HELEN WEI.SHIMER KtA Service Staff Writer ISOBEL LILLIAN STEELE, back home after being released from the German prison where she had been under guard for four months as a suspected spy. is the mast re- i cent well known example of the woman who has learned through' harsh experience that words often

rebound and hurt you. Not that Miss Rte ( le gossiped or /poke destructively. She merely expressed an unbiased opinion. But a man. recognizing that the sign of the Swastika was a danger sign, might hg v e held his tongue under the circumstances existing when Miss

Helen Welshimer

Steele spoke. Certainly freedom of speech should be an automatic part of the birthright of any citiz-n in any land. A government that is afraid of the force of opposing words admits that its foundation is insecure. A house built upon sand will go down when a wind arises and smites its corners. One with solid foundations ran laueh at the mrneuvers of the elements. But when misguided leaders fail to understand this, it is the better part of wisdom for a spectator to be quiet. Not for one second do we condone cowardice. Those who believe in a given cause should speak for it. though the words tnoy speak brand their names and bind their bodies. But idle, careless, destructive words which have nothing to do with crusading—and mav get their speaker into a lot of trouble—had better remain unsaid. Tongue Causes Woe In general, we find that women are much more likely to talk themselves into trouble than are men. A man's brain may be more active than a woman's, but she wins in the babel of tongues. He that holdeth his tongue is greater than he that taketh a city, we are cautioned. yet the tongues are held and the cities are taken, for the most part, by men. Not even the mast valiant feminist can deny that while a man usually gets into trouble for something he does, a woman's woes are likely to come upon her for something she says. True, when a man does speak out of turn, he usually puts both feet into the trap. Women have a more subtle manner of being ensnared. Personalize Talking Our opinions are not nearly so important to any one else as they are to ourselves. If they aren't going to promote a worth-while venture we might as well not express ; them. Gossip, that repetition of idle personal tales which makes faces flush and eyes widen, has long been attributed to women. There are men who are greater gosips than women can ever be. But we have to admit that for the most part gossip is a woman’s word. During the ages when women were confined to their particular neighborhood corners, when knights rode down the trails to battle and left their wives and daughters and sisters at home with nothing to do and nothing to read, feminine lives centered around the happenings in their immediate circle. Os course women talked about these happenings. It became natural for women to personalize in their conversation. They had to —or keep still. But men could chant of wars and storms and strange cities and new Catching CoIdU vicks "a 1 -^p

NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE •‘ r T''HERE is always more than one A way to kill a cat.” Valeria told herself on the night after Peter left here so abruptly. Parties were evidently not. the w’ay to bring him around. It had been a mistake to take mm to Dirk's. But there were ways! Every man has a weak spot in his armor. What was Peter's? Valeria must find out soon. She invited Miliicent over that afternoon for bridge. 'The others are coming about 2:30,” she said. “I wish you'd come early so we can have a good talk. It's been ages 1 since I have seen you.” The half hour failed to reveal anything useful. But in the course of the afternoon. Valeria learned a piece of news. It was Leslie Willoughby who said, "I hear Peter may sell that darling place he bought from Ronnie Brent.” "I don't know anything about it,” Miliicent answered. Valeria looked up. "So Peter bought the Brent place?” "You should know." “I didn't. Peter has never mentioned it to me.” ‘ If I had been Peter I would have felt a little queer about buying the place. R n nnie was so much in love with Paula, and then to have her sue him for a divorce before the house was completed—” Sue broke off, a little confused as Millicent's eyes met hers calmly. Leslie, noting Sue’s hesitation, said boldly, “I’ve heard Peter’s wife is away. For long?” “You'll have to ask Peter,” Miliicent answered shortly, “I believe it is your play, Sue.” Miliicent was first to leave. When the door had closed behind her, Leslie said, “The Kendalls! Aren’t they funny? So passionately loyal, if you know what I mean. Daring people to discuss their affairs. As if they could stop tongues wagging when Peter goes out and marries some girl he scarcely knew and Carol elopes with the chauffeur.” ‘'Well, of course, he wasn't a real chauffeur but a terribly good-look-ing college boy,” Sue said. “It would have been the same to Carol. That girl gets what she wants and doesn’t care what any ' one thinks.” “When you are as rich as Carol j you can get by with anything,” Sue ! said. “Everybody knows Peter's new wife has pulled out.” This from Leslie. “Although nobody—except /on. perhaps Valeria—knows why.” “Why should I know?” Valeria lit a cigaret coolly. “No one expected Peter's mar- : riage to stick. Every one knew ne loved you. Peter was k darn fool to go out and pick up that girl in a fit of pique. He's evidently come to his senses. It's commendable of him. I think.” Valeria was silent. She knew it was a becoming silence. Everybody would be saying, "Valeria's sweet not to crow when Peter walked out on her. He tried to do the decent thing by the girl he married, but of course thev simply could make a ' . industries. Don't blame us if we I talk too much! We are trying to bridle our tongues. History proves, too. that men hav r excelled in oratory. Again we plead for a stay of sentence. Men have always addressed public gatherings, but until recent years to speak out in public meetings was a privilege denied women. No wonder the commentary art came to be ours! But now that women have grown up the time has come to put away childish things. Maybe we still see in a glass darkly and only know in part what our ultimate place in the world’s work shall be. But an excellent 1935 resolution would be to practice addition or repeat the 1 multiplication tables before we spoke unnecessarily. This also goes for verbose men!

go of it. with Peter still in love with j Valeria.” That was what people would think. Not one of her crowd dreamed that Peter had fallen for Ann. a a a LATER, alone with her thoughts, Valeria was conscious of failure. She remembered the sarcasm in Millicent's “You ought to know." It was always that way whenever Peter's affairs were being discussed. Well, she would play her cards more carefully in the future—and not as she had played bridge this afternoon. She had played really dreadful bridge. Once Millicent's voice had broken through her abstraction, “Come back to the game, Valeria.” Mrs. Wainwright was amazed to hear Valeria call off her date for the evening, pleading a headache. “Not sick, are you?” she asked, as Valeria passed through the living room on her way back from the telephone. “No. Just tired. I think I’ll go to bed right after dinner.” “Avery good idea." About nine her niece went to her room. Drawing the Venetian blinds to the window ledge, Valeria began stripping off her clothes. Her bath was running. That was what she needed. A warm bath and a good night's sleep. This constant going and getting nowhere was getting on her nerves. With her vivid velvet robe about her. Valeria sat down at her dressing table, studying the mirrored face. i Yes, she was lovely. The ashen blond hair rippling away from her j face, her big blue eyes and soft, red tips. Why didn't Peter love her? The answer was Ann. To be honest, Valeria had to admit the girl was attractive. Very attractive. Valeria hated her. Absent, Ann was dominating Peter’s every thought. She lifted a hgnd and brushed lack her hair, moving closer to the mirror. There were tiny tracings near her eyes, little hard lines forming near her mouth. “All I need,” Valeria said to herself, “is a little more sleep and fewer cocktails.” She had been fighting a desperate knowledge, but all barriers were down tonight. More than Peter’s money, position, and power, she wanted Peter, the man. She wanted to take him away from Ann more than she had ever wanted anything in her life. The combination —jealous rage and yearning brought pain that was almost more than she could bear. The warm, fragrant bath quieted her nerves and after a while she slept. Her last waking thought was, “Whatever it takes, I’m ready for. I’ll make any sacrifice if I can have him back again.” As thp days passed Mrs. Wainwright became aware of what she called "a changed Valeria.” The restless girl who had opened sleepy eyes about noon was gone. In her place was a freshly groomed niece, ready for breakfast at the conservative hour of nine, prepared to plunge with zest into her day’s ! program. The program itself amazed her ! aunt even more. Valeria, who had shirked similar tasks throughout her girlhood, had volunteered to aid in a half dozen worthy enterprises. She had become actively interested in her guild's welfare work. She spent mast of the days for one entire week collecting garments for the 1 needy. She had accepted the chair- : manship of a group that was doing valiant work in the Community Chest drive. She had inspired the i sponsorship of anew free clinic for children. Her picture had appeared in the papers frequently, but never in any studied pose. tt a

SHE had been caught by a photographer among a group of children at the clinic. During the drive she was photographed pinning a button on the coat of a contributor. Another time, a two-column pictured appeared showing Valeria entering a poverty-stricken home, her arms filled with packages. Mrs. Wainwriglxt was amused at first, then puzzled. As the days passed, she was almost convinced that at last Valeria had decided to give up her “wild ways” and settle down. Valeria confirmed the idea one morning. “I'm fed up with parties,” she said pensively. “I realize I've wasted a lot of time.” “I’m glad you’ve wak-d up,” her aunt said dryly. She adued, because she was not entirely convinced that her niece's transformation was genuine, “if you have.” Valeria did not flare up. She said, “I have. I want to marry and have a home of my own.” "Well, Jack Latimer is probably ready to give you one.” “Jack!” i Daily Recipe i PLANKED BEEF 1 lb. tcell-g round beef j ' chuck I | 1 cup cooked break- { fast food | 1 cup cracker crumbs ! j 1 small onion, minced | fine j 4 bananas | 1-2 tsp. salt I 1-4 tsp. pepper | 2 tsp.

I “He's not a bad catch. Has a very good pasition, hasn't he?” “He’s light wood. I want stronger support for my future.” “Somebody like Peter?” j “Yes.” “Pity you didn’t know you were so much in love sooner. I hear he’s been turning the city upside down looking for his wife.” “I suppose you've been talking to Mrs. Kendall. It's true he had two private detectives trying to find her. They finally found the taxi driver who drove her away the morning she left. The man said she got out at a restaurant. They lost the trail there. “I can imagine how sorry Mrs. Kendall was when the detectives failed to find her!” “Now, Aunt Louise, don’t be sarcastic. Os course she realized he and Ann were not really suited to each other.” “And of course you and Peter are!” Valeria got up from the taole, ! saying reasonably, “I do think so. Peter and I grew up in the same ! world. Our friends are the same. But I won't stop to argue with you. i I've worlds to do.” “I w'ish he would get divorced then.” “It takes a little time to work out a divorce,” Valeria said.
