Are cliques Of women controlling

Is the choice plum in individual
clubs passed around in an exclusive

Are women's clubs suffering for lack

and. in addition, 1t Is the field In
which women workers and leaders

Far as one woman could influence an

s'that the mother with little children
needs some thought from her sisters,

But If Harry felt hat he was go
ing into an ogre's den, there was
nothing in the outward appearance
of the room or the two people in It
to justify the sensation. Mrs. Dris-
com stood at one END of the table,
and gave him a hand as icy and
polite as her own temperament, and
a Good evening, Mr.. Morton" At

After the grapefruit, quite when

my Adwce to My Daughter
BE CYNICAL, BUT WATCH Y0URsTEP
BY KITTY GORDON

Dearest Daughter!
This is the last letter of advice I'm
going to write to you for the present
and / consider 1t the most important
advice of the whole series.
It's about the men I want to talk
to you, Vera.
TOO many women are at one or
the other Of the two extremes IN
their opinions of men-either they
are cynical or they are too unsophis-
ticated.
I don't want you to be classed with
| either Of these extremes. I want you
to not be cynical and yet to watch
your step.
Men, as a whole, are all right.
| There are some bad eggs among
them, of course, but they are very
much In the minority. The regular
| fellows are about the only kind you'll
, meet and yet it is my duty to ri
you against the other kind.
Never stand for any undue IA
| miliarity from any man. If you do
! 1t will simply encourage him. Never
hesitate to call a man down where
there's q real occasion for IT. but be
very sure the occasion Is there be-
! fore you do so.
I Be friends with men. There's no
reason I ever found why you can
4 De IIlG1US Will tIedliy HoN0 %
| time with them, and never become
boisterous or rowdy.
The fact Of the matter IS, my dear,
that men are very impressionable.
They are very apt to act the way they
think you want them to act. If you
want them to be kind and friendly
and sweet and generous, that's the
way they'll act. If you want them to
be rough and rowdy, that's what
they'll become. If you want them to
treat you respectfully and courteous
ly and yet with a delightful COM
| radeship, that's the way they'll treat
you.
But be careful Of these men: The
| man who Is always trying to hold
your hand; the man who tells aues-
| tionable stories: the man who has a
| nasty look in his eyes; the man who
| speaks ~cynically about women, and
| the man who talks as though YOU
| had no ideals. no real purpose IN life
and no kindness.
And this Vera, dear, is all for the
present.
Devotedly, your mother.

Bob and I had been reunited al
most a week n in that time I had
tried repeatedly to talk over what
had happened to me in the time Of
our separation. But after my futile
attempt to explain what Berghoff
knew about me, I gave up, temporar-
lily.
However 1t wouldn't be safe" I
told myself, Ito conceal sue strange
experiences as 1 had had from an or
binary husband. 1t would be like
dancing on the edge of an icy preci-
pice If Bob were other than his dear
old trusting self"
So I adjusted myself to the respon-
sibilities of a bride, assumed the care
of our dear little home, and tried to
work out the H. c. of L. problems
which try the courage of all con-
scientious home-makers.
l intended to keep a household ex-
pense account. I know that many
girls scorn budget-making as "close"
and "stingy." And accordingly I
pitied their poor husbands who
struggled to support them on small
salaries.
Mother Lorimer had a pet system
which she wanted to explain to me.
1T will keep up from crying about
Babs, for a little WHILE" she said,
whereat we broke down and wept to-
gether. Afterward we undertook the
bookkeeping problem. Mother made
her books balance to a penny, every
month, or at least her secretary made
them balance. Mother admitted that,
with her, 1t was a mania, a principle
which she q inherited, she guess
ed, from her New England ancestors.
Misunderstanding" Daddy re-
marked pausing in his restless prom
enade about the house. He seemed
forever seeking that golden-haired
baby behind the curtains at the
doors, or among the pillows Of the
divans. He made mother and me
awfully nervous and we were glad to
have him stand still and talk about
anything except Babs.
"Principle-shuclls! Bookkeeping
Is all sentiment with mother. It's q
kind of religious observance-it re-
minds her nee g month that she was
as poor as -"
"As only a country parsons daugh-
ter could be-" mother explained.
"She gave me my first start, you
know" daddy said in q loud whisper
to me. When WI were married she
said we'd say so much of my wages
every week, and we'd set our table
on so much, and pay SO much for a
roof over us, and so much for cloth
es, n so much for fun and extras.
But somehow, whenever there was a
shortage to be made UP In any item,
1t always came out of her share OF
the clothes or the. fun. Oh, 1 re-
member all right, old girl" Daddy
stopped and kissed his wife. why
Jane, she saved $1,000 in a couple OF
years. And that Thousand let me
drop my job, and risk setting up fol-
myself. If she'd spent then as care
lessly as I see young wives spending
their husbands wages nowadays, I'd
still have my old nose on the grind
stone."
81 never found 1t hard to save"-
mother droppedsa stack of bills into
q drawer-'for I never reckoned thai
it was merely money I was saving.
Dollars represented the brain-force
and nerve-force my man put into his
work. They stood for q certain por-
ton of his energy. When 1 had to
decide whether / would put $40 in
the bank, or spend it, I didn't see
the bill only as a piece of green pa
per. I remembered how tired my

Presently he looked over at hi
wife.
"If YOU want to sell the Glensdale

period of silence while the maio
changed the dishes, and brought In
a new course. Mr.. Driscom began
again:

Mrs. Driscom gazed across the

Louise laughed suddenIy-the hrst
time for years that she a done so
al one of these family ordeals.
All right, I'm going to need a lot
of things next month" she answered
and looked at Harry to see whether
he caught the meaning of her words.
The dessert and coffee were on
the table. Both children knew that
they had to explain soon, or lose
their chance for that week. Mr..
Driscom had already absentmindedly
taken out his watch, and had hunted
for the inevitable cigar i'm his pocket.
The four of them rose at once.
"I want to talk to you awhile, II
YOU don't mind" Harry found him

I visited a friend the other day who
is the proud possessor of q now house
and o Pullman breakfast alcove, as
she called it.
Between the back wall of the din
ing room nd the cellar stairway
there was a space of, l should say, five
or six feet. This space could have
been made into a pantry but she had
plenty of cupboard room in her kitch-
en- and didn't want or need a pan
try.
So, she had the outside wall made
all window, bench-like seats put along
the two inside walls and a pedestal
table between. You sort of slide into
the benches, for the end opposite the
window is entirely open into the kitch-
en-. This would not do for the big
man of our family-but he doesn't
live there!
