WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

' Smith College will go down In history not perhaps In Its capacity as an Institution of learning, but for Its wonderful work at the front .during the world war. At the very outbreak of hostilities the Smith college students, both the undergraduates and the alumnae, organized the Smith unit, which went overseas immediately to take up the great work of giving our soldiers comforts as well as aiding the destitute French and Belgian families In the devastated territories. Mrs. Barrett Andrews had been director of this famous group of college women in France for one year when the war ended. And during the entire year the women worked within sound of the guns, according to Mrs. Andrews, who has Just returned to New York. "Most of the time we were practically under fire from aerial bombs and artillery," she explained, and then she told of some of the work of tho unit. "In the last days of the war the unit ran twelve canteens in as many evacuation hospitals. The personnel of the unit at this time numbered 100. Between September 26 and October 20, 90,000 wounded men passed through these canteens. We made hot chocolate and jam and sardine sandwiches. Scores of the men coming out of the front lines had not had any

food for hours. We distributed thousands of pieces of chewing gum among

the wounded, and the men who had been gassed particularly enjoyed it. We also gave away thousands of cigarettes. "After the armistice was signed and the last of the wounded men passed through the evacuation hospitals where our canteens were established. In the Argonne sector, members of our unit returned to their original work In France of looking out for the refugees in the Somme. We had sev

enteen villages to look after In 1917, t with our headquarters at" Orecourt In the big drive last March we helped to evacuate these people. For eight! days they were retreating before the ; German invaders. We established a canteen service at the railroad station In Beauvals, and In ten days we fed more than 40,000 civilians who passed through there, driven out of their homes by the invading army. We contlnued this canteen there for the sick

MRS. BARRET ANDREWS and wounded that were brought in, and some of our girls helped In the

hospitals. "There are left standing only remnants of houses, but the people try to arrange some temporary shelter from the broken walls and bits of broken wood and whatever they can obtain to utilize for this purpose. "Our girls will remain there throughout the summer at least to carry on reconstruction work and help these people get installed again in the best homes possible. We bought up, whereever we could, poultry and small stock which we are distributing among these people, and also clothing and food. We will also look out for the sick and ailing."

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two young ladies who have recently come into this community. We have been V "ornnnny with two young men who went with two other girls for some time before we came. They sun go with these girls but not as much as they did. The girls get angry with them for coming to see us and they go after them for doing so. We like these men very much. They tell us what the girls say to them about coming to see us. Do you think the men would tell us what the girls said If they cared very much for them? What would you do about It? T. AND T. The men seem to be out for a good time and without any serious intentions toward either of you. WTien a man cares for a girl he is satisfied to go with her only, and to give up other women. The men should not tell you what the other girls say. Since they break their confidence with them, you may be sure that they do so with you.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two young girls. We are going to school with two boys and have fallen in love with them. (1) Is it correct for us to correspond with them? (2) Do you think it Is right for us to talk to other boys when they ask us not to? (3) How old should girls be before they begin going with boys? THANKING YOU. (1) Da not correspond with them. It would be foolish since you attend the same school and can talk together. (2) Talk to other boys. You are too young to be in love. Regard boys as friends and not sweethearts. The two boys have no right to ask you not to talk to others. (3) A girl should be eighteen before she "goes with boys." If she skates, plays tennis,, or enters into other

sports with them. It is good exercise and of benefit to her unless the lets sentimentality enter Into the relationship. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am writing to you In behalf of the girl who signed her name as "N. M. S." in the paper some time ago. She asked about a soldier in France and said Bhe was homesick. I believe she is my sister whom we have not beard from for several months. She Is the same age and has the same initials. I thought I might find her with your help. Please print this in your column: Will the girl who signed her name "N. M. S." and is homesick please come home? She will be welcome. Her sister. MRS. I. C. I shall be interested to know if you and your sister are reunited and douubtless my readers will be to. In case "N. M. S." returns home I would like to know in order to Inform my readers. ) Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am very much In love with a boy In this town and whom my parents do not like and they won't let me go with him. Please tell me what to do? BLUE EYES. Do as your parents advise. They probably feel instinctively that . the man is not a character to make you happy. Do not disregard their judgment. Dear Mrs. Thompson: After a boy and girl stop going together should she keep his picture? THANK YOU. She Is supposed to return it, and he is supposed to return his pic picture if he has one.

A Woman's Business By Zoe Beckley

IHt ' m i TO VViN A WOMAN Janet's mind was of the sort that seeks simple solutions. Like roost women, she was guided to a great extent by emotions, intuitions, instincts. She "felt things." And so 6trong were

these reeling uai iuey bhi u place of logic; often in the place of analysis. In other words, she had the feminine trait of living in the moment. Things WERE, to Janet, largely what they SEEMED to be. She didn't stop to consider what they had been in the past, or were likely to be again In the future. , She therefore did not sne deeply Into the workings of Roy Nicoll's t mind. Not that Nicoll's mind was a hatchery of dfep, dark plote. But it was a mind that worked more com1 plexly Than Janet's, it was not always direct. If Nicoll desired to buy another man's business, ho did not always go to that man and make him an offer. He approached the man in a roundabout route. He worked upon him subtly, allowing hints to reach him, seeing that tumors of a decline in lusiness came to his ear. etc. He studied the man and was guided by his type. So it was In the case of Janet Stedman. Roy Nicoll desired Janet Stedman sufficiently to marry her, although he detested marriage as a form of spiritual imprisonment. Having made a few attempts at the coarser expressions of admiration and had his belief confirmed that she was not a woman to be won by direct attack, he now laid a careful campaign, based, as In his business methods, on the type of person he had to deal with. No man could be more charming in more ways than could Nicoll when he bestirred himself. He had an unerring instinct for taking the right . 1-1 2.-1 . 1 1 . .

course, wnicn amouuicu 10 bubuiiuc artistry. A touch of it was shown in his prompt calling up of Walter Stedman as soon as Nicoll reached the clly, to tell him his wife was comfortably located for a day or two, and likely to "make a big hit with the women's convention," from all appearances. The message was charged with Just the right amount of enthusiasm; exactly the proper proportion of per

sonal solicitude for Yalts own work, which Roy made it his business to keep posted on; the wise flavor of nonchalance in regard to "the madam" or the "little lady" or "our businesswoman" as Roy varied his appellations of Janet. Dut all his tact and all his care failed to blind Walt Stedmcn to the true situation. Outwardly Walt employed a reasonable comradery to his relations with Nicoll. Inwardly he raged and fumed. By shear force of will, Walt kept his grip on the throat of his ambition. He was tempted a dozen times a week to quit his writing work and go back to his regular job with a fair salary aud a fair outlook for advancement. But he crushed it down, whipping his mind into daily submission, sitting doggedly at his typewriter and

forcing his thoughts to take shape in the written word. Walt was perhaps a slow-moving vehicle. But like the rams on a crowded thoroughfare, he kept to the right. He could no more le deflected from his purpose by an attack from Roy Nicoll than a Connestoga truck-hor6e could by the cut of a lady's riding whip.

1 know 6oi:k Uiiug too about the way to win a "woman," said Walter grimly to himself as he hung up the receiver after Nicoll's call. "Especial

ly MY woman. A girl like Janet can j

not be tethered on a short rope. I

doubt If a right-minded woman needs

"And it doesn't seem to matter much

whether a woman is a 'lady,' pamper

ed and hung with gewgaws, or wheth

er she's a kitchen drudge, or wnetnr

she's a poor, hired plaything of men,

she is tied at the end of a rope, per

haps the 'lady is the least free of all, for she is some man's lifelong

personal property.

"Well my girl shall have her free

dom," murmured Walt grimly, as ne sat down before his typewriter once

more. "The last strand of her rope

shall be cut and she shall be her own

mistress. Only I shall be watching and working working working

Walt said the last word through shut teeth, strikign his clinched nand upon the desk. "We'll see which can work the harder, Nicoll, you with your

money and brain, or I with my brain

alone. We'll see well see! (To be continuel.)

House Takes Time Off To Pass Dog Tax Bill INDIANAPOLIS, March 7. With every minute needed to pas3 important measures before the final hour of the session arrives, the house took a half-hour yesterday to indulge in a fight of oratory over the Ratts dog tax bill, which finally was passed, 51 to 39. It required the vote of Speaker Eschbach to put the bill over with enough votes to make a constitutional majority. . ' The bill provides for a tax of $3 for each male or spayed female dog; $5 for each unspayed female dog and $5 for each additional dog, male or female. The township assessor Is required to prepare a list of all dogs owned, harbored or kept by each person assessed. The present tax is $1 on male dogs amd $3 on females.
