The Diary of an

By Phyllis I demonstrated my complete emancipation from my family traditions today, as far as dress Is concerned, and I feel heaps better for it. It was this way. I was out shopping, tout seul, wonder of wonders, and bought a scarlet evening dress. That fact In Itself may not mean much to the average mind, but it spelled deliberate revolution as well as Joy to mine. Ever since I was a tiny girl I have loved scarlet and yearned to robe my body in it, but it has always been taboo. The family objected to any such color, and that was all there was to it. I can remember clutching any stray pieces of scarlet from various workbaskets, in my childhood, and bearing them off tenderly to clothe my best beloved dolls in, for although I myself might not flaunt the persuasive color, my dolls could. 1 wonder if all girl children have this longing for a forbidden color? AVell, be that as it may, this morning as I was primly selecting an afternoon The Man of It! By Helen Rowland (Copyright, 191V, "by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) Aren't men Liberal and generous, and broad minded And all that! They never do anything by halves! They are no "pikers"! Once started in any direction, they keep right on going that way until they reach the limit. For instance, Now that they are handing Woman the vote, piece by piece (or state by State), they are simply overwhelming her with other honors, and privileges, and concessions And responsibilities! Now that man has at last been convinced that a woman has the ability to cast the ballot. Ho seems to think that she has the ability To carve the chicken, Run the lawnmower, Hoe the garden, Clan his safety-razor. Paint the piazza. Lock up the house. Wind the clock. Tut out the cat, Itun a typewriter. Mend thf morris-chair. Fix h? lock. Ka'somine the kitchen. Stand up in a street car, Dress for the opera in two minutes, Carry her own traveling bags. Clean the flivver, Wash the dop. Punish the children. Browbeat the iceman. Bully the landlord. And climb to the second balcony, when she goes to the theatre! Water the lawn, set out the geraniums, foil the profiteers. And all this does not absolve her, of course, from counting the laundry, planning the meals, darning sox, wiping dishes, singing lullabies. And looking sweet, and fresh and dainty and kissable at breakfast! Or from going to church for the family, And trying to hang onto Heaven with one hand, while she holds onto her husband with the other! Or, from being bright, and cheerful, and soothing and charming when HE conifsiome tired and grouchy, evenings! Or from but there! A man never does anything by halves! He admits, at last, that Woman is not. only his EQUAL But a little MORE so! That's thf man of it!

Engaged Girl

Phillips J frock, I passed a most gorgeously filmy, flame-colored frock such a frock! It Just seemed to have been whipped into wavy billows of warmth, and blown into its dainty shape by the loving lips of young girls, who had found ture ecstasy in fashioning its every fold. There it shimmered, before my dazzled eyes, tempting me as I was never tempted before; and fluffing its insinuating loveliness in my direction in a most personal way. To me it represented Youth, Love, Fire and Joy. I bought it. without hesitating a moment, and it is now on its way to the house of my mother. That is all that I know for the present; that is all I need to know. The shimmering beauty is mine, whether I ever wear it or not. But I am planning to do so this very evening because Jack is going to take me to dinner and then to some swell dance at some friends of Ted Sloan's afterwards. I feel as though my very fate hung upon my wearing that dress of my dreams. One hour later. It has just arrived. It lies before me now in all its beauty, and the room seems lit with a great radiance, and my senses are singing deliriously in response to its every lure. I suppose my feelings may be compared to those of a boy who stands before his first dress suit, speechless with delight, and stirred to new life by the fact that he is of the world at last. Funny how young things get that way, isn't it? I wish Jack would have intuition enough to bring me, some Amerioan Beauties, but then he never dreams that I am about to play the part of My Lady of the Flames this evening. I think he would feel a bit restless if he did. No matter how he feels, I am sure he will think me lovely in this frock. Now I know why red has been used by royalty so much in the past. Those kings and queens just naturally knew that it made for buoyancy. And that that quality was most necessary to keep their devotees in a state of joyful adoration, despite the many tyrannies the crowned ones pulled. Yes, the monarchs of old were true students of psychology, I'll say. Here I sit shivering in the most delicious anticipation imaginable. I feel like the heroine of my own movie somehow or other. Whether I shall have my audience with me or against me, only the powers know. My fate is on the knees of the gods! (To be continued.) Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it necessary for a chaperone to go along with a sixteen-year-old girl who goes to another town to dance? My daughter and I disagree on this question. MRS. SMITH. Yes. a chaperone should go along. Dear Mrs. Thompson: My wife is not satisfied with the money I am able to .earn and she wants to go to work. I realize that she has a hard time because she has all her own work to do. including the laundry work, and she has never been used to i this. It. hurts my pride to show the world that I can not. support a wife, but that is the case. I make what my employer calls a good salary, but it will not buy the kind of things wc have been used to. Do you think my wife ought to give up the idea of working for my sp.Ke, or ougni i 10 lei nt?r accept u position because she thinks she will j be happier working? j DOUBTING DON. The arguments arc strong on both sides. It does seem as if your wife ought 1o bf able to find more ways

to economize if you have as good a salary as your employer seems to think. On the other hand she seems to be managing as best she knows how. It is hard for a woman who has never done laundry work to undertake it. I bolieve I would bury my pride and let my wife have her way. She will be happier if she has money to make her life easier. If you work conscientiously you will surely advance. When times settle you probably will make enough so that your wife can have what she needs and stay at home. It is a tragedy that prices have gone so high that the high wages of today cannot combat them. The happiness in thousands of homes is clouded in the same way yours is.

What's in a Name (Copyright) LULU Yesterday'a discussion of Loretta suggests Lulu as an interesting parallel study. Lulu Is also the result of modern spelling. Its correct form Loulou. a version which originated and Its popularity is attributed to the vencal Lora de Sades. beloved of rarch. whose story is considered Pro Petr cne of the world's greatest romances. She is the lady whose praises are sung by the great Italian poet in his "Rime" or sonnets. She is identified with Lora de Noves, an Avignonese lady, who died of the plague in 134S and who was already married to Hughes de Sades in 1327, when Petrarch is said to have first seen her. The romantic nature of the French caused the name of the lovely heroine to find extraordinary vogue in that country. However, Lora or Laura is scarcely euphonius to French ears and she became Laure, and finally Loulou. In this country. Lulu is the accepted form and her association with Laura is practically forgotten. Sometimes the name is even regarded as a ! diminutive of Louise. Jet is Lulu's talismanic stone. It is the symbol of sorrow, but according to an old superstition.

Says Indianapolis Banker; T. H. . & E. Petition Up The predicament of traction companies' securities during the present "financial storm" was related by Evans Woollen, of Indianapolis, when he appeared as a witness Tuesday at the hearinsr onnrhictpd bv the Dublic servj ice commission on petitions of Hoosier ! interurbans to increase passenger fare fro. 2 to 3 c-nts a mi,e- A. , Investment money conditions are i I more unfavorable now than they have been for 12 or 13 years." Mr. Woollen said. "The money market in Indianapolis and in the country is not favorable to interurban company loans." In reply to further questions the wit ness said he believed that he increase ; of fares to 3 cents a mile would help the companies some, but traction securities would not be made more salable until there is a change in financial conditions. The fact that the Pennsylvania railroad has been forced to give 7 per cent on a loan, which rate, Mr. Woollen said, will amount to at least S per cent after underwriting fees are charged off, will force Indiana interurbans to pay about 2 per cent more than the railroad to obtain money. At the hearing of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Company's case Wednesday morning protests will be registered against the proposed increase in passenger fares by persons living on the Crawfordsville division, ... ... .... ,,, ' rnu also Dy resiaents or .viarunsvme. j Vocational Graduates f M2- Pl.ta D..,'!.?
