III A good many women pin their faitl
to Vogue, a magazine written from tn
point of view of the Only Daughter o
a National Bank. but which is to tn,
socially ambitious, what the Ladies
Home Journal is to the Plain Peepul
Vogue is well worth while, however
if only for the unconscious humOr Of
the department AS Seen By Him, pur-
I porting to be the comment of an i'm
mensely wealthy, unbelievable fash
ionabIe, society leader on manners and
| affairs in the very smartest SETS When
Life and Judge fail you and the color
| ed supplements are more than usually
| bromide turn to Vogue: there is al
ways a good laugh in As Seen BY
Him, which is probably written by
some poor, shabby, half-starved So
| ciety reporter and which is the very
essence of snobbery and asininity.
! But the latest number of Vogue, usual
/ " full of Hints from Paris and de-
scriptions of what duchesses and
Harry Lehr are wearing, comes down
to earth with startling abruptness in
an article on poultry culture WHICH -
principally devoted to chicken lice.
Now you know that is a subject which
is out of keeping with weekend house
parties and Harry Lehr.

wouldn't it be Grand If some of the
people who have country places and
summer homes and who are always
saying in the winter time ''I want you
us-some time-next summer-when
you're passing by" would come
through and set a date? But dream
on, guy! Dream on

Eastern newspapers have been devot-
ing a good deal of space to the troubles
of Misses Amanda and Anna Hendrick-
son of Philadelphia who started to|
build a studio back of their fathers
house in Germantown. They neglected
to take out a building permit, however,
and the building inspectors unchival-
rously stopped their work. The young
women are cousins Of Miss Viva Brown
them in Philadelphia. The elder is a
graduate Of Bryn Mawr and is now u
student at the Industrial school of art
where she studied carpentry and wood
carving. Assisted by her sister she be-
gan building a Studio" as a vacation
frames and door jambs put in place, in
fact all the details were attended to
PERSONAL by these two young girls.
The HendrickSon residence faces the
exit of the Mannheim Cricket club in a
fashionable location of that fashion |
able suburb Germantown. While the |
girls were at work the cricket club |
members and their visitors spent more |
time at the rear of the club than at |
the front watching the Misses Hen |
erickson. Even in these days of man |
uaI training enthusiasm it is still /
of a novelty to see girls with /
enough money to build a residence
spending their summer erecting a car
penter shop. And it is not every day
that you will see Bryn MaWr grad |
uate carrying a, bod, or a fashionable !
boarding school girl vaiiantly stirring
up mortar that won't mix.
When their troubles with the build
ing inspector have been adjusted and
they are allowed to finish their work
the Misses Hendrickson will use tn sir
studio for wood carving and other arts
work. But alas, for their
plans for the present. says a writer in
he Philadelphia North American. "NC
onger can one hear the workers sing
ng as they labor; no more is heard
he splash of mortar upon stone. Tom.
he chauffeur stands at the garage
window and stares mournfully upon
he little house of many hopes"
And all because, although these girls
rave learned to work usefully with
heir hands. at an occupation once
hey had overlooked such a business
letaiI as a. building permit Who would
suppose one had to get permit to
'uild on Daddy's lots?
Miss Brown has had a number of
etters from her cousins recounting
heir experiences as house builders AMI
las been much interested in the news
,aper stories about their venture. And
their troubles aren't over
daybe when they are through with the
building inspectors, they may have to
eal with the labor unions.
