Woman

By ANN LISLE

Susan gasped In affright. . She's here!" She visloned an outraged fireside goddess. ' ; "Tell them I am at home," - bade Mrs. Knolys quietly. ; "Why , wouldn't you be? Shure I told tblm that already," said Murtha. "Ob, Carrie! She's here!" moaned Susan, suffering vicariously In her mentally conjured melodrama. "Don't be a fool!" said Mrs. Knolys. as severely as if she were not aware that she was asking the impossible. Caroline waited in amusement spiced with deviltry.' Of this situation; as of all others in which . she figured, she would be mistress. There was no danger for her. Perhaps in the situation there was no peril so far Caroline, mistress of situation, might well be right. But at some period of her life every woman is a menace to herself. The dangerous age for any woman Is that period of her development at which she wakes to the fact that . life has given her everything except her real desire. AgainBt such a time wise women have erected a great barrier work! It holds if it is strong enough to contain traitors within. But the fortress is assailable it is vulnerable when It is opened by the betraying enemy in a woman's heart. And nature, too, has built a fortress it is proud and happy motherhood! When a woman begins wildly to yearn for some promised land of emotional fulfillment all the women in her vicinity had best beware for some man, be be bound or free, will be chosen high priest of her temple of love. All her life Caroline Knolys bad been a menace to other people's houses of life. Only love could make her a menace to herself. She could never be won by any man. But she could idealize some man into the being by whom she desired to be won. She had never given herself and love. Her marriage had been placid at best. Her education had been in worldly things. A famous school that "finished" young women turned her out a lady. Her proteges were always young, good looking and struggling. She inspired them to their great work and their wives' anguish or hatred, as the case might be. And on the threshold of Caroline's life stood HUdegarde Sanbury and the young husband who was Caroline's elective affinity" though he was not quite aware of it. Caroline's dangerous age has come because she was ready for love. Life had now its great opportunity to chasten her! Lawrence Sanbury was but no, "place aux dames," and Hildegarde is well worth making way for, even though she is dressed in a shabby black suit of the mode of year before last. Under a scooping velvet hat fastened on neatly with penny black pins are honest wide-set brown eyes; they are the eyes of a dreamer! and a sensitive, finely chiselled nose accents their message. Generous, too, is the mouth. But the

firm chin above the strong column of white throat means strength and the sensitiveness of Hildegarde's face does not deny Its strength. ' Caroline perceived men to the point of apperception. ; Women were too often negligible or merely manageable in her scheme of things. Now she saw a fairly pretty woman of thirty with a look of sturdy honesty that was hardly magnetic. And Lawrence was twenty-five and an artist! Lawrence was a vital looking youth with enough of the boy Jh him to make him tremendously appealing to older wbmen. "His grooming was ! beyond reproach, and Hildegarde's shabbiness stood out as strongly in contrast to her husband's faultlessness of fit and form as to Caroline's alluring swirl of draperies, whose wonderful blue just matched her eyes. Because Hildegarde so tenderly loved Lawrence, her responsive nature was full of exuberant gratitude to Caroline for all she had meant to Lawrence in Italy. When a woman has pinched and saved to give her busband a glimpse of "the. grandeur that was Rome," she is likely to feel a deep thankfulness to whatever forces have made his experience with old-world beauty more potent. And Hildegarde was above suspecting that Caroline's use of her own new world and modern beauty had anything to do with the matter. "When I heard Larrie was coming to you, I just couldn't stay at home," said Hildegarde quite simply. Her voice was warm and colorful and suggested somehow that it might croon cradle songs very beautifully. Lawrence broke in rather jerkily. It was quite .evident that he wanted his wife to make a good impression on Mrs. Knolys and that he was equally sure she would fail to do so. "She wouldn't. So we ." , "Oh Larrie you must let me speak! You've had Mrs. Knolys all to yourself for six long weeks" interrupted Hildegarde. "You see I've heard so much about you. Larrie wrote me reams and reams of letters right from the beginning." "Yes," purred Caroline. "Oh, yes! I've followed every step you've taken." Miss Ambie looked a trifle anxious at this juncture and failed to smother a hysterical little laugh. "Indeed!" said Mrs. Knolys curtly, and her expression changed completely as she noticed Hubert standing acress the room and smiling with an expression that might have been sardonic if his tolerant and well-bred face could have compassed such an expression. At once his wife presented, the Sanbury's, and announced that' she had persuaded Mr. Sanbury to accept the commission to remodel the house. But Hildegarde was so overwhelmed by her sense of gratitude for past favors that she could not stop to curry favor for future ones. She had to continue her paean of praise. (To Be Continued)

Tina Lerneiy Pianist Divorced Two Days' Weds Her Manager

Art is long, and so is marriage, but Reno has the most divine brevity. So Tina Lerner, Russian pianist, found. Two days after she obtained final divorce from Louis J. Bechner of Berlin she was married to Vladimir Shavitch, her manager.

PROF. GILES WRITES FOR ALUMNI PAPER Superintendent Giles of the public schools has written an exhaustive article on "The School and the Community" for the Indiana Alumni Quarterly. Mr. Giles points out in the article the old theory and practices in educational development and shows the lack of co-operation that formerly existed. In summarizing, he writes: "The

needs of the community in its broad-1

est sense, determined fundamentally by the principles of social science and and locaIlyby a. scientific study of conditions, are forming a larger basis for educational re-organization."

EARLY CITY HISTORY

Contributions on the pioneer days of Richmond will appear in this column daily.

PRAISING MORTON. The prompt energetic action of Gov. Morton resulted in Indiana's taking a prominent part in the very beginning of the war. The Cincinnati Commercial in commenting upon the passage of Indiana troops through the city, said: "The governor of Indiana has outgeneralled the governor of Ohio. The contrast in the condition of troops proves it. The Hoosier troops are all armed with rifled muskets, are uniformed and furnished with their complement of camp equipment. The stout and brawny appearance of the Indiana troops was universally remarked."

According to the United State bureau of standards, cloth measuring tapes should not be relied on to possess an accuracy better than one part in 500 or 1,000.
