Senator Harding has at last said
something that is bold, fearless, clear
as :. bell and which cannot be success
fully disputed. Evidently without
consultation with Chairman Hays, or
Senator Penrose, or the campaign
committee, he comes right out in tones
that carry conviction to the mind and
thrill to the heart and declares:
"The history of civilization is very
interesting story"

women who make critical remarks in
such loud tones that the whole car can

But it never occurs to us to keep
our own voices down when we are

A Japanese Play

To the Editor Of Toman'S Page:
Dear Madam-Wc are going to have d
Japanese play at the end of this month.
Could YOU kindly inform me the correct
dress for geishas, students of Japan,
and servants, and also where ] could
buy Japanese parasols? I have been
all over town and surrounding towns,
but have not been able to find any.
L. V. +.
The geisha girls of Japan wear the
regulation gorgeous kimonos. very long
and narrow with the full sleeves. and
the wide sash or obi. tied with the pc
culiar hump at the back of the waist.
Their head dress is the elaborate high.
Stih affair. with decorative combs or
flowers in it. If you look at picture
OF a japanese girl you can get the idea
much better. You could find pictures
in books at public library.
DO YOU mean men students? The
Japanese men wear kmonos. too. but
they are shorter aud the sleeves are
plain. Their sashcs are narrower and
are not tied in the back or in large
bow. The servants wear the same gen
cral style of costume. but of palmer ma
tcrial.
Have you tried in the large depart
ment stores for the parasois? There
are two japanese stores here in town.
/ where l am sure YOU could get them.
! For shoes you could wear bedroom
slippers. ii you cannot get the thick
so'ed slippers that the geisha girls
wear. Or you might wear the sandals
! that are simply soles with ribbon
crossing over the iustep to keep them
on.

She had some coffee and toast Mt a
little restaurant nearby. and then TOOK
car downtown. Her heart was beat
ing fast and she was frightened. she
had no idea how TO proceed. The roar
of the city engulfed her. swept over
her. but she stcudicJ herself and went
into a drug store where she copied
some names and addresses out of tel
pphonc books into her little pocket tab
let. Then she proceeded to the othceS
of one of the largest and best known
producers in the city. Walking
bravely up to very much befrizzed
young person who, in an expensive
trcotine frock, sat at the desk aud
tapped languidly with pencil, she
handed over her card and asked to sre
Mr.. Atkins.
Have you an appointment with
him.
"No." Virginia jaltered.
The girl rendered the card to Viz
ginia, holding it lightly between tw
very pink tingertips.
Mr.. Atkins never sees people unlcS,
they have appointments" And Nir.
GINA, with burning checks, felt herself
dismissed. She was angry and embar-
rassed until she reached the street. and
then size smiled Il little. She was de-
termined not to be discouraged. At
the next place, the producer was not in
but at the third she had better success.
A nice looking frecklc faced boy
took her card in to Mr.. Parks. while
Virginia waited. She could hardly be-
lieye her eyes when he came back and
beckoned to her TO follow him. The
next minute she was standing before q
man who sat at a big flat topped desk
which was strewn with papers. He
had a big black cigar in his mouth
which he shifted over TO one corner
when he saw her,
''What can ] do for you?" he asked,
eyeing her with sbrewd gray eyes.
