her hat was all askew before she had
forced him to surrender.
What Miss Bryse had done TO the burglar
before she fed him was enough to have
touched her heart without any woeful re-
cltal on his part. One of his eyes was
blackened, his coat was torn and his face
was so scratched that blood was streaming
from it. A sorry figure he cut as he pitt
fully told his captor that It was more pain
full to go hungry on Thanksgiving than on
any other day.
Miss Bryse is probably the only woman
film operator in a 5-cent show in Chicago.
Her work in q little theater on the West
Side explains her return home at the hour
when burglars are busiest, II was midnight
when she turned the corner. a few steps
from her home.
Hist! As she approaches the front door
OF her home she discerns a man striving to
force It open with an iron bar. So intent
is he upon his task that he is unaware of
her approach. Another moment and he viii
have gained entrance to the house. Per
haps he will attack persons asleep within.
Not If Miss Bryse can prevent,
She leaps upon the back Of the kneeling
burglar, forcing him TO the ground, his right
hand still grasping The iron bar. He strug-
giles and at length regalns his feet. his as
sailant clinging TO his throat. Back and
forth in the narrow vestibule they strive.
Once she frees her other hand and strikes
with cllnched fist. Again she grasps his
throat and his fingers relax from the iron
bar, which she wrenches from his grasp.
As Miss Bryse. with iron bar menaclng,
confronted the burglar. a private watch
man approached. He rendered his assist
ance and then the burglar for the first
time found his voice. 1t was that Of a
youth. and Miss Bryse observed that it was
a youthful countenance she gazed upon.
Il was SO hungry. miss" said the boy. Il
have no home and no friends. and this is
Thanksgiving. ] was trying to break in
here, but I only wanted something TO eat"
The boys pitiable plight and mournful
plea decided Miss Bryse. She persuaded
the private Waterman to disappear. and
when a policeman In uniform passed all
he saw was a young man and a woman
iconversing in front OF Miss Bryse's door.
The burglar told his captor that his name
was James Wilson and that he was Is years
old. and pleaded his hunger.
Miss Bryse bade him wait a moment and
disappeared in the house. When she re.
turned he was waiting. She had brought
food from the pantry, and James Wilson
16-year-old amateur burglar, had his
Thanksgiving dinner in the early morn OF
the doorstep Of the place he had planned
to rob.
Il just couldn't do anything else. % said

InrentIgntInr YOUNG Men.

There are two things that 10000 or more
young women I'm New York are going to
try to do for their future husbands be-
fore they have even had a glimpse OF those
fortunate young men.
one Is to boost their wages. The other
is to find out all about that bugaboo Of
the old-fashioned woman, Where does
hubby spend his ~evenings?'
Each and every one Of the young women
believe that an ounce of foresight is worth
a ton OF worry. and they don't propose
to take any chances on the latter propo-
sition. At least that is the program, a
bit ambitious, perhaps, set forth by the
Women's Trade Union league, with head
quarters I'm New York at No. AZ East
Twenty-second street. The roseate tinted
path TO a happy married life may be
found through the possession of a union
card and, incidentally, being a worker and
believer in principles Of Organization and
cooperation. according to their philosophy.
Miss Violet Pike. a graduate OF Vassar.
and chairman OF the educational commit
tee OF the league. confided TO your CORE
spondent some OF the aims and hopes OF
a little band Of determined young women
who are sponsors for the work Of the So
ciety.
ITS the only way" declared Miss Pike.
whose large, serious eyes betoken the fact
that she Is supremely confident in her mis-
sion. Every girl should join a union be-
cause the man she Is going to marry is
having his wage lowered by the CIR. who
will work for less than he will.
IF she doesn't marry, her wages will
be lowered by the girl who will work for
less wages than she will. So which ever
ways she leaps it's from the frying pan
into the fire, without the support Of a
strong union organization behind her.
Then, too, everyone knows In a trade
without unions, the hours are ,ong and
the wages low. while the opposite condi-
ton prevails with unions.
Those are the merely mercenary ad-
vantages, but there are hosts OF others. %
said Miss Pike, with a familiarity that
forced you TO agree with her. We've
been carrying on this league for five years
now and we have learned a lot OF things
that we never dreamed Of I'm the begin
ming. Mind you. we don't ask for priyi-
leges; We only want justice" insisted the
energetic little chairman.

Women Of vast wealth are always sub

Mrs. Rogers owns no rare jewels or IA

ties.
She IS particularly interested in wage
earning women. When the plan was
launched to build City Federation hotels
for girls who earned less than 81 a week,
Mrs. Rogers was the first TO subscribe.
Mrs. Rogers doesn't spend much OF her
time at Lenox, or even at her New York
home. preferring the quiet Of Fairhaven,
with its home elegance. Her tastes are
simple. She cares more for a walk in
the yard of her home than a whlrl up
and down Fifth avenue.
To understand something about Mrs.
Rogers one must know something about
her late husband. Present-day history
can point out no other man who had a
sterner face at the office and a softer
one at home. Back OF this double life
lies a cause. She is Mrs. II. H. Rogers.

GOLD a Farorite Color.

There Is a revival Of gold this season
not only In dress accessories but also In
nearly every department OF house decors-
ton.
There are gorgeous gold slippers and
stockings to match. gold embroidered wells
and long shawls in net and chiffon cloth,
gold turban ornaments and plumes, belt
buckles and bags. The mesh chain bags
are not new. but the bags composed OF a
mass OF gold spangles are novel and dee
orative. Whatever the foundation material
happens to be it is completely masked with
the gold spangles.
There are stunning bags made on a
foundation Of brocaded satin, white and
gold. the latter picked out in arabesQues
OF gold cord and embroidery. Most Of the
designs are French and as ornate ss the
Louis XVI. models from which they are
copied.
old fashioned gold banded china has
come in again. and to correspond other
table decorations are ornamented with
gold. A new French ware IS shown in
which the foundation OF crystal or porce-
lain is set in baskets of French gilt. There
are rose baskets for the center OF the
table. individual almond and bon bon dishes
and fruit dishes, as well as card trays and
other ornamental pieces for the drawing
room.
Toilet articles in bright gold without
other ornamentation than a monogram are
superseding the silver and ivory goods
for those who can afford them. Gold
handled umbrellas both for men and
women are in again and put the simple

curtains and portieres wherever possible
gold thread is interviewer. Gold or gilded
paper and work baskets are seen, and. In
fact, all down the line the gold revival Is
noted. 1t seems more or less barbaric, and
it is, of course, expensive.
