 So 1t happened that Babs and I wan dered out. unwatched, on the great plateau which stretched between the hacienda and the town, Babs on her burro, I walking by her side. It was a beautiful field that we walked over, and had seen many uses in it's time, but the administrator could never guess what a fine landing field for an airship that great smooth field would make.
 It wasn't far to the train but 1t was impossible for me to get there without attracting the notice of the populace. The field was exactly as Jim, Jr., had described it-but where, oh where, was plane.
 That night the manager thought to cheer me with welcome news. Dr. Cur tis, the hacendado, would return on the morrow. A letter had come-he showed 1t to me, in order, I think, to prove that he could read.

HOW TO DRESS HER HAIR
Style For High School Girl and
 For the Youngster With Round Face
BY BARBARA BURKE


 Many school girls of high school age are very apt to make themselves look entirely beyond their years by the manner in which the hair is dressed. What could be more simple and charming than two long braids, with no adornment, not even a ribbon bow, and the hair parted just little to one side. It can be softly drawn over the temples, so that it is not too severe.
 Shows Head Line
 In this case the hair should be let hang loosely occasionally, as it is bet ter for the scalp.
 Two rmall barrettes may keep the short end in place if necessary.
 The head line is very clearly shown in this style and the distinctive fea- lures are we'll brought out.
 For Round Faces
 Mafalda (Fifth avenue style) is best adapted to little girls under ten who have particularly round faces. It is most dignified and refined style. The hair should be bobbed to cover the ears and the ends curled up.
 After parting all the way round it should be drawn loosely over the top of the head dropping low In the center of the forehead and caught on one side with a simple tortoise shell barette.
 Ribbon Is Harmful
 On special occasions a pretty ribbon may be used, but it is not advisable or even healthful to wear it regularly. Many headaches. sore 'scalps and other unnecessary troubles have been caused by the constant use of tight hair rib bons. Children are sometimes made very irritable, their entire dispositions being affected by these unnecessary adornments. In any event, except on festival occasions, large ribbon bows are entirely too dressy and detract greatly from the predominating fea- ture-simplicity.

 BY GRACE JOHNSTON
 At the very foundation of political liberty is the right to trial by jury. It was granted to men seven hundred years ago. All men as voters acquire this right to trial by jury of their equals before the law and it's converse, their service on such juries. Now women are voters, but they do not ac- quire this important right of citizen ship as would naturally be supposed. This impression that jury service is an accompaniment of voting is so general that even the authorities in some of our states have committed some astonishing blunders.
 In this country so closely associated are jury service and the franchise that the jury lists are often compiled from the voters lists. Local magistrates in a number of states where women were enfranchised before the federal amend ment was passed, in the most matter of-fact manner summoned women voters along with men voters when they made up their juries. Many of the women socalled qualified and served. Very shortly it was discov- cred that they served illegally. This was by reason of an old law on the statutes of most of our states, in- herited from Blackstone's common law of England. In this old law Black stone renders the word homo (human being). as male" Under the word homo" he says, though a word com mon to both sexes, the female is ex- cluded on account of defect of sex" Serve in Seven States
 
 stands in the way of women enjoying one of the most important rights of citizenship. It was discovered on the statutes of Illinois, Wyoming, Cali fornia and Washington, and jury serv- | ice for women which had been granted with the vote, was promptly with l drawn. The last two states mentioned, 1 California and Washington, have since passed special laws granting this right | to women. In Illinois and Wyoming | the old law holds and women do not serve.
 | In only seven states of the 48- | Washington, California, Nevada, Kan sas, Utah, Idaho and Michigan-are women serving as jurors at the present | time. In five of these states women actually serve in spite of the law, " may be prohibited to them at any moment should the existence of the old law be brought to the attention of the authorities. Women in California and Washington are therefore the only ones who are protected in their jury service by special law on the statutes To Amend the Law
 Women have already rendered some splendid service on turies in this coun- try. In various western states where they had the vote for many years, they served on juries also. Tn Wyoming the first place in the world to grant suffrage to women, women jurors have made picturesque record. They sal as mixed juries of men and women and as all-women juries, More than one judge commended their intelligence insight and justice in giving decisions Washington is another state where women jurors, in the early days be-

Administrators Suspicious AlIayed 1

AdminfstratorS SuSpicions Ailayod
 But There Are Other Barriers
 The administrator of the hacienda maintained a beautiful balance. He was politely upon my side of every proposition I made concerning the child. nevertheless he was perfectly obedient to the orders of the absent hacendado. He agreed with me most amiably that the little one would be happier in the care of an American governess, then he found excellent req sons why I could not see her immedi- ately.
 I was interested in his serene eva sions, but I didn't propose to permit the custom of letting tomorrow take care of itself upset the business I had in hand.
 "The little girl ought to recognize the nurse you expect. I have cared for her many months. Take me to her. If she knows me. she will run to meet me. Let the child decide"
 Being placed thus on the seat of Solomon proved too much for the old mans vanity.
 He gravely assented. And the child was brought-a strange dark baby with jet black hair!
 My heart fell-tears welled up. I could scarcely see the soft violet eyes under the dyed lashes But from the pretty red lips leaped Babs' particular system of baby talk:
 "Ahzhanel Ahzhane!" Tn her va riety of English, the meaning was Aunt Jane"
 The administrator was convinced, he was even moved to tears. He smiled as beneficentiy as King Solomon him self when clasper that dear lost grille to my heart. He smiled again like ar indulgent parent when the baby asked her first question-what had brought her in my bagf

fore it came into the union, gave in teresting service.
 As soon as the federal woman suf- frage amendment has been ratified by those states where women have not before had the vote, an active cam paign for the right of jury service for women may be launched. In those states where women are now voting and ratification is not necessary, such campaigns can be undertaken at once.
 The simplest method of procedure is to revise the existing jury law of the state By inserting the word citizen where the word male" is used, and the word persons" where linen" is used throughout the law, it is made to include both sexes under the same conditions of service. The law as amended must then pass the legisla- ture of the states.

 She condemned children's garters and elastic shoulder straps at the same time urging looser clothing for women, and the abolishing of pointed toed shoes and high heels.
