but Is Beautiful Girl From the Middle West Right When She Does Such Things?
By THOMAS L. MAsSON

This Is the true story of a young
 girl from the Middle West. of a de-
 iightful lady who lives in New York,
 and a question of ethics. It is high
 time that ethics was written about so
 that plain people would begin to un- oerstand what it--or they-really means.
 But to be candid. don't believe. in this particular case, that the ethics is even now fully understood by all the persons in the drama ] think there is still doubt both in the mind of Miss Myrtle Summers and Cf Mrs. Strutkers Pomeroy as to just what either of them should actually nave done in the circumstances.
 It was a bright morning in early spring that Myrtle Summers arrived sn New York. on visit to Mrs. Struthers Pomeroy. That accom- pl!shed lady met her young friend at the Grand Central and whsked her away to her house in the seventies in her limousine. Mrs. Pomeroy had lived in New York al of her life; that IS to say. she was from New York. but as a matter of exact science. in the summer she was largely a New bort and in the winter either at Palm Beach or California. In short, she was a typical New Ycrker in the fact that she never was in New York except tufi0R those peFlOuS when all IVp 4Cd1 New Workers are supposed to be in New York She moved rapidly but harmoniously. she planned swiftly, and she accomplished her desires accu- rately One of her many sports was 10 take under her wing some young girl, who might come from the Middle West or almost anywhere else, pro- vided that she were sufficiently inno- cent-and inoculate ner with the mvs- teries of the Metropolis.

 Constantinople, April 16.-A1 striking illustration of the general emancipation of Turkish women which has been af- fected by the war is afforded by the des- ignation of Mrs. Halide Edib Hanem as minister of education Mustapha Kem- als cabinet.
 Mrs. Hanem is the wife of Dr. Adam Fey, formerly president of the Turkish Red Crescent, and until recently Mus tapha Kemals minister of health. She IS 30 years old. the mother of three chill dren, devout Mohammedan and has at tained fame as the author of several strongly pan-Islamic novels.
 Shortly after Turkey entered the war the need for nurses became so great that women, for the first time were permit ted to accompany the armies and enter military hospitals as relief workers They are said to have demonstrated remark able efficiency in taking care of the wounded a fact which soon made it pos sible for Turkish women to enter un1- versity classes with men. At the pres ent time, however, they are still barred from theatres and amusements of various kinds, except special performances for women only.
 Mrs Halide Edb Hanem is, perhaps the most celebrated pioner in the move-

ping, or she didn't say at all, and no effort on Mrs. Pomeroy's part could trace her disappearance. Mrs. Pome- roy knew, of course. that one of the sUitors claimed her. But which one? If I only knew who she disappeared with during the day" the puzzled lady declared ito herself, then I would know which one she is going to marry.'
 While she was engaged in these des- perate thoughts the distant door bell rang. Two cards were brought up. They were the cards of MT. Garth and MT. Mulworthy.
 Mir. Garth was the spokesman.
 We have come" he said, Ito thank you for the opportunity you have given us to entertain, at our own ex- pense, one of the most delightful girls We have ever met, and to say that she has turned us both down. She re- jected me on Thursday and Mulworthy here last night"
 After they left Mrs. Pomeroy sat there in a stupor until Myrtle returned. Myrtle brought back with her the young man with whom she was in love, and with whom she had been hav- ing morning walks every day. He was a nice young man from the Mid dle West.

 And so the meticulous Mir Null worthy, when it come his turn that evening, laid out his programme, and it seemed good to Myrtle; it appealed to her higher nature.
 The days and nights that followed
 the bridge party were a source of great pleasure and perplexity to Mrs. Struthers Pomeroy. Mr. Garth would come on one evening and MT. Null worthy on the next.
 Mrs. Pomeroy passed her idle mo- ments in pondering the great question as to who would win. Sometimes she thought it would be Garth and at others Mulworthy. It was quite im- possible to tell from Myrtle's manner which man she favored She went about with preoccupied air that plainly revealed to her host that she was very much in love. Mrs. Pomeroy, her. She preferred to wait in enjoy ment of the sensation of suspense.
 T hope. my dear, that you are hav- ing good time,' she ventured on the tenth day.
 / T am having a wonderful time. I have been everywhere, and seen every thing. You sese, MT. Garth doesn't at all like the things that MT. Mulworthy likes; and, of course, that gives me such wide variety. And now, if you don't mind, I am going out for a lit- tie while, all by myself. I'll surely re- turn by 2.'
 Myrtle hurried away, and her friend sat down to revolve this delightful but baffling problem. For the mystery lay largely in this fact that every day, since Myrtle had come, that mysterious young woman had disappeared for a time. Where did she go and what was she doing during these daily ab- 5ences? She said that she was shop

Grape Industry Not Ruined.

War experiences have changed our
views about flat feet. It was at one
time assumed that individuals so at
flicted were destined to lead seden-
tary lives and that they were dis
qualified from partaking In vocations
requiring the constant use Of the
feet, such as military service. This
erroneous idea is still universal in
Europe and to a large extent In AM
erica. 1t is in weak feet that the bones
OF the arch drop to the ground. tho
muscles and ligaments being so weak
and flabby that they can not hold up
the arch bones. After a series OF
Treatments in the most chronic cases,
the prolapsed bones will gradually
raise until they reach their normal
height.

years. The last time the six brothers
were together was in 1866. when the
youngest was years old. In the in

brothers met but it was not until

since their boyhood days.
The brothers were the sons of Mr.
