club to lecture at the meetings OF this |
conference, spoke at the morning ses-
sission Friday Her subject was 1.-THE |
Methods OF Producing Suspense in the
Holding OF the Readers interest" she
said. lis one of the most difficult
things that 1t Is given the writer to
perform. In catching interest the. au-
thor has two chances of success--either
the title Of the story. or in the opening
the story the critic said, use only /
words in the title which will portray
something to the readers mind beside
the bare meaning of the words them
selves. They must imply something,
clusion OF the story" The opening
she said. was the most inn
portant part Of the entire composition.
When the tired business man picks up
q magazine and glances through it's
phBess ne nIst Ethus the titles. AZ sat
titled with the title, he win proceed to
the opening paragraph. II the first
few lines fail to draw his interest at
once, he turns the pages and passes II
up no matter how good the rest of
the story may be-" She affirmed that
''crispness, sharpness and definiteness
are the three requisites in the treat
ment of the story" and advised that
writer's always keep these three words
IN mind.
Mrs. Rouse by courtesy of the club
staid over a day at the springs to ex-
anime and criticize manuscripts that
should be brought to her. II Is under
stood that q, number of the members

5000 CHINESE ARRESTED
Anti Japanese Boycott Has Serious
Effect at FuchoW.

Effect at Fuchow.
Washington, June 21.--Arrest Of 5000
Chinese students at Fuchow by Chinese
said in official circles here today to
have resulted from the anti-Japanese
boycott growing out of the decision
of the peace conference on the Shan
tung question.
Fuchow, in Fukien province, oppo-
site Formosa, has been held by the
Japanese to be within their sphere of
influence, it was said, and when the
disorders began they were reported to
have been regarded as justification for
the landing of Japanese troops.
The Chinese authorities, fearing for
chile action by Jpaan, are said to have
been trying to stop the boycott which
has been largely fomented by Chinese
students.

WOMEN PREY OF LONELINESS
London Writer Says That Is the Cause of Their Tireless and Cease
 Iess Toit.

Men are amazingly and amusingly ignorant with respect to the mysterious life led by their mothers. wives, daugh- tsrs and aunts. For years at time man may go on blindly with his work and hix play and remain in total igno- rance about the activities of these inex- piicable beings. He is dimly and dubi- ousay aware that they are not idle In hb paroxysms in intuition he guesseS thAt his comfort and even his happi- ness in some fashion may depend upon their labors. But tke greater part or his existence is passed in a sublime ignoring of al. the immense miracles wrought by women every day of his life.
 I have come to the conclusion that women are the loneliest of Gods crea- lures. and that their loneliness is the great first cause of their tireless and eeaseiess toll, James Douglas writes in London Opinion. Nearly every woman goes about with lonely look on her face and the older she grows the lone Her she looks There are very few lonely men, for men are gregarious. They are also. upon the whole, less imaginative than women They live more on the surface They do not pos sess that quality of power of living a secret inner life of contemplation and broodingly retrospective passion. Men live in. and for the houc; woman lives in aud for the past and the future They are at war with their environ ment. Like Norah in .'Ths Dolls House" they are always waiting Tor the miracle to happen. One seldom sees the print of tragic intensity on mans face. One seldom sees anything else on womsn's.

To tell the story of the marvellous
 Accomplishment of the Red Cross,
 khe Greatest Mother in the World, IS
 to write what future ages will prize
 khe greatest epic in history.
 The United States entered the
 War for the vindication of an ideal.
 The Red Cross is founded on that
 ideal and it is the greatest mother |in the world" because it is the em-. |bodiment of unselfish mercy and un- .selishness is the test of brother hood, as brotherhood is the test of
 Democracy.
 On May 1st, 1917, when America |faced the fact that she had entered [the war, the American Red Cross |had 4S6,1 members. On the 11th #of November, when the armistice was signed the American Red Cross numbered something more than 22,- 100000 adult members, and in ad- dition to this, approximately 9,0O0,- l 1000 school children had been en- rolled in the Junior membership. From 562 chapters in 1917 the orr ganization had grown to over 4.000 in 1918. This showing is even more striking when we realize that practi- caDy all of these were due-paying members and durng the last fiscal year the American Red Cross re- ceived $24,500,0 ,0OO from dues alone During the eighteen months from the declaration of war to the signing of the armistice, the American peo Die gave to the Red Cross outrigh gifts of more than $400,000, ,000 fol
