Women and What
They Are Doing

TT is tough that We cannot all
warble. It makes a woman down
Il right blue to think that she can
not sing when the papers are full of
reports of Geraldine Farrar and other
operatic stars sailing from New York
with a truckload of steamer trunks
full of money. Here we are wearing
our sweet lives away at typewriting
or cooking when, il we could but yell
In some artistic manner we might be
with the musical money queens who
are now going abroad for their sum
mer rest. They work about half as
hard as we do and get many times
our remuneration. 1t is tough that
some one in the stone age did not
name dlshwashing an art. In that
case some of our circle might be draw
ing princely wages instead of meager
living salaries. True, the dishwash-
ers' union helps some, but there is still
room for protest.
MY mother-in-law thought tights a
crime but I'll wear them" says
former Irene Bishop, now Mrs. J. Ray
nor Storrs Wells. The redeeming thing
is that Mrs. Wells is going onto the
stage to wear her tights. That makes
it less shocking. 1t is still somewhat
shocking, though, for Mrs. Wells is
the wife, "the abandoned wife," she
calls herself, of a millionaire, and Mrs.
Wells is also some pumpkins, several
pumpkins, in society. Society on the
whole is stupid and vapid, says Mrs.
Wells. What does society think OF
that? That ought to hold society for
a while. Mrs. Wells will be seen very
shortly with skirts very short If 1t is
so ordered, in the Ziegfeld show,
"Follies of New York"
Mrs. Wells, senior, is taking steps,
not as fancy steps perhaps as her tai
ented daughter-in-law could execute,
to prevent Mrs. Wells from letting her
real married name appear on the the
atrical programs along with the Drew
cry announcements and other horrid
things. The daughter-in-law says that
the full name, Mrs. James Raynor
Wells" will be used. 1t would be just
like her to use it; she will wear tights
she ought not to hesitate at using
any name that strikes her.
ANY child will be happy and good
if he has enough work to keep him
busy and likes what he is doing" sald
Miss Lucy NJ. Bird, principal or the
farm school at Fretz, Pa. And why
not the grownups, too? And what is
the use Of growing up if such as this
is true of childhood? "P1enty of work
and likes what he is doing" Most
groWnups have too much work ana
they do not like what they are doing
The trouble is that they are grown up
T give and beuueath to Edith Alice
Ogilby Titmouse DruSe the sum or 30
with the advice that she purchase
Herewith some reliable authority on
the sin and folly of ingratitude," Is
clause contained in the will Of Mrs
Louise Warner, who died in New York
not long ago. Edith Alice is one OF
Mrs. Warmers daughters. 1t seems
that she was not much OF 1aVorite
with her mother. Mrs. Warner is the
first mother who has made public
soueal of a crying evil Most mothers
take no chances at publicity and suf-
fer the abuse and neglect of rhanklesS
daughters without murmur. NO
doubt Edith Alice is now thinking
some large, healthy thoughts that never
entered her mind before. Maybe hot'
Charges that her husband pinched
her and overlooked giving her present
on her birthday failed to get Mrs. Rose
Garrett of Swarthmore. Pa, a divorce
from her husband. In review or the
case it is exposed that her husDano
called her dear at so cents; that ne
threatened
and leave her If she made secret Will;
that he did not allow her family to visit
them. except her mother; that on their
wedding trip she was about to put her
hat Onder a seat when her husband
said to her: "See here, young lady, re-
member 1 have to pay for your mats
now. If YOU treat them that way, you
won't get another one In a hurry
tn Tho announcement made of the en-
gagement between the crown prince OF
Servia and Princess Schadts Sultana,
fourth daughter of former Sultan Apdul
Hamid of Turkey, no one can find
Specification of the imposing union or
two loving hearts or anything ap-
preaching the romantic. These Two
youing people who are one day to be
made man and wife have never seen
each other, the prospective bride being
a Turkish lady of high degree, VINO is
seen by no one outside her own FAMILY
until her wedding day.
The affair was arranged during the
visit of King Peter Of Servia to the
sultan of Turkey, and real significance
is found in the fact that, by allowing
his niece to become the wife of the fu-
ture king of Servia the sultan acknoWl-
edges the Karageorgevitch family to be
of equal importance with his own. Th1s
family of lengthy nomenclature has had
what may be called a mushroom growth,
for only as far back as 1904 the founder
of the dynasty was swineherd. SerV1a
was a part of the Turkish empire or
iginally, but about that time she rose
in revolt against the parent kingdom
and the swineherd 1t was who won in
dependence for his kingdom and was
set upon the throne as it's first king.
The crown prince of Servia is the
second son of the present king of Ser
via, the eldest son having been forced
by his father to renounce his claim to
the throne owing to his wild and dtssi-
pated life. Prince Alexandria is a much
quieter youth, though one wonders
rather what his opinion is on the sub
ject of his unseen bride. Report has it
that she Is an extremely beautiful girl,
SO the match, which must appear so
strange to American ideas, may pos
sibly turn out all right after all.
