BLACK WOLFF'
 COMES TO CITY

Ernest Thonpson-Seton, Black Wolff,'' is coming to Bridgeport to- morrow night to attend the annual Grand Council of the Black snake Tribe of Woodcraft Indians. This af- fair, always interesting, will be doubly so this year because of ths presence of the Grand Chief, who is famous as a writer and lecturer. The councin will take place at Far Mill River, near the former location of Pine Rock Park.
 The council will be opened by the Chief, Harry Curtis, KeemOsabee, and the council fire will be lighted with rubbing sticks in the true Indian fashion. Lewis F. Hall, who has won more feathers than any other mem- Der of the Woodcraft Nation, will give the peace pipe ceremony. Then will follow the roll call by Lloyd Hop kins and the awarding of feathers for different exploits.
 Indian dances, games. and chal- lenges will occupy the serater part of the evening. Einar Ekstrom, W. c. Meyer, L. M. Caton, and Gordon Reid will take part in the Carabou dance. Elmer Lewis has the leading roll in the Song of Hiawatha-'' Clifford Appleton and Edwin Bergman will give their movie pantOmime, The Barber Shop" This is done without talking or paraphernalia, and always between Enoch Sprague and Arnold Bergman. Each of these young men believes himself to be the best talker in this vicinity, and they will be given a. chance to fight it out by be- ing placed in a three foot circle and talking at each other steadily for two minutes, with MT. Seton as judge. Quantity, and not quality, is taken into consideration in deciding the winner of a talk-fest. The Dog dance, Scalp dance. and Bear Hunt are some of the other events sched- uled. MT. Seton will close the even ing's entertainment with one of his delightful stories. and then will fol- low the singing of the Omaha tribal prayer and the war cry. All mem bers participating will be in Indian costume.
 This meeting~is open to all friends of the tribe and others who may be interested. The council grounds may be reached by taking the Shelton trolley to Far Mill station. Members will direct visitors to the grounds, which are only a few minutes walk from she trolley line. An effort is also keing made to provide jitney service. As the meeting is out doors visitors should dress accordingly and bring blankets or cushions to sit on.

 New York, June 2T-Woman, the nome maker, tends the hearth. She keeps her domestic fires burning with true steady glow. She carefully sweeps away rubbish and will not permit the fiTelight to go out.
 But often woman. the wanderer' the ,wanton, passes by. She peeps in at domestic harm ony. An! she, too, will enter to take warmth and com fort at the fires kept alive, in fact, built into being by the woman who dwells rightfully within. The intruder fans the flame- De- strUction follows. Homes are razed and hearths blackened. And no wife may aspire to cope with the passing f1atterer. The true wife does not fawn upon nor offer idle compliments in order to get som e favor. She often must tell unpleas- ant truths
 Her views upon this phase of mar ried life were expressed strikingly by Mrs Anne UrQuhart Potter Stillman, when she gave an interview at the home of John E. Mack. in Pough- keepsie.
 Maintains Her Composure
 Presiding at a dainty tea table on the front porch of the Mack resi- dences Mrs Stiuman, who has been bitterly and publicly attacked by her husband, James A Stillman, never theless maintains her composure and is able calmly to discuss her opinions.
 You know" she began, mo wife can hope to keep up with the woman who fatters- wife wishes her hus- band to amount to something. She must often-to that end-ten him the truth"
 Seen face to face. even in the strong and revealing glare of the afternoon sun, Mrs. StilIman seems to have none of the tired and disillu- stoned look that is suggested in some of her photographs. No trace of makeup has contributed to her fresh and blooming appearance A little fatigued from the long hearing in court during the hot midday, she nevertheless graciously consents to talk over matters just a little more.
 ''The f1atterers measure the amount of affection to display by the size of the emerald in view" she smiled amusedly.
 Listeners sit silently. for the most part, attentive to every word from this amazingly girlish-looking woman who is a wife and mother and upon whose slender shoulders an all-too- heavy burden has been placed.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-06-27

Mrs. Sti1lman perhaps understands the psychology of clotheS-her attire is well adapted to produce cheerful neess of spirit and the boise which comes with perfect comfort A loose blouse of white linen, with a gay tie of satin about the throat, tops a snowy sport shoes, with white silk stockings She wears some small plain gold bracelets on her slender wrist and heavy gold chain about her neck.
 Woman is the Incentive.
 'Woman has coached and aided man and pushed him along. To her all progress is due." Mrs. Stillnan continues.
 The real woman puts those she loves ahead Man has a little the best of it at present. even though men are not able to get around women as easily now as formerly. Sons used to get around their moth CTS, and later on they got around women who love others more than themselves.
 -I blame the system under which he was raised" Mrs. Stillman is now referring to the husband who would repudiate and condemn her. ''1f his father only brought him up right!
 About his home there was the old-fashi ioned secretiven ess-no love, affection or recognitioa of the part these emotions play in life - no knowledge of their proper place in our existence.
 Such people don't appreciate just how real these things are-how real to other people.
 Environment does lot for chi1- dren- Later, when character is formed, they leave the home-and meet the world-as competent indt- viduals.
 Everything Depends on Home.
 "Everything depends on the home and the interest the parents have in their children.
 But the whole. trouble with women now is that they are three fourths feeling, one-fourth intelli- gence. They should be half feeling and half intelligence. They need a better rudder, which such a perfect balance would give them
 ''Woman's place is not a mans - each has his or her own certain place in the world. Women more and more are becoming the equals of men. I don't mean that woman must compete with man or take his job away, but she must not let him get arOud her so easily.
 Women suffers more than she

WHAT PARIS IS WEARING

Huge organdie flowers placed at the proper angle will transform a very simple but well-cut frock into a thing of beauty. The Summer silk taiIleurs are divided into two classes those with exceedingly short loose box coats and those with coats reaching down to the very hem of the skirt. All the skirts are simple, with but a. very little fitness at the sides. Pongee is very popular A charming combination consists of a t'melange'' of jade green and citron pongee- F'oulard also makes a num- Der of very effective Summer suits

White kid or bucksEin low shoes are the only proper ones to wear with pale organdie dresses. Some of the smartest models are frequently decorated with pipings of black pa tent leather. The double strap fas- tening is the most popular this sea son.
 Exceedingly smart are wide scarfs of moire or taffeta ribbon trimmed with long silk fringes. These scarfs may today be used as a belt on a light Summer dress, yet tomorrow will serve as sole garniture on q large f1oppy garden hat

If He Had No Money. . .
 This woman has been able to in stisate him to this lawsuit against me and his child.
 How much do you think such a woman would care if he had no money?" She smiled mockingly, a spark of fun in her gray eyes. Would he be so popular if he were poor, do you think?"
 well, the man of great ego is easily reached by flattery and so many are willing to offer it." Mrs Stillman said.
 But that does not make for happi- ness or contentment-"
 Suggestion was made that Mrs. StilIman might like sr1rcease from questions and interviews. but she de- nied that and said she was tired only. Knows She is In the Right.
 "Oh. for long cool ride on the open road after one of these days in court" she said IongingIy. But a photogra assailed her leisure to request her to pose for more pictures.

Country May Be Said to Have Made No Progress Since Dawn of
 the Christian Era.

The next time I see railway sys- tenn l am going to make a deep salaam to it-even if 1t is govern ment owned. Picture q country all most three times the size of France without any railroad to speak of. If you could float over that territory you would see most of the people living exactly as their ancestors did in the centuries before Christ
 In seed time you would see men blowing with one hand, two oxen and what looks like piece of crooked stick, writes Maude Radford Warren in the Saturday Evening Post. In harvest time you would see the oxen trampling out the wheat from the chatf. You would see mills consist ing of couple of stones and a stream of water. You would discover In this vast area only one waterway, no riv- CTS to speak of, and but four main roads. Of these four only two are fully practicable for vehicles, and even they do not equal third-class Flu rOpean roads. They were made or re- paired by foreigners. On them you may see a few motor cars, also insti- tuted by foreigners. And by no means do they travel with the ease and cheapness of the cars of the West. There is a good telegraph system, but letters nowadays take weeks and even months to travel from one side of the country to another.
 You would see no real mines of coal or copper, no quarries, no cotton mills or clothing factories, no foundries or machine shops, no big electrical in stallatiOns; none of the modern im- provements that we westerners con- sider essential to prevent stagnation. It is medieval, this land as no coun- try can possibly be nowadays that has railways, with all which that con notes. Here time does not matter !; nothing matters. There is but little sense of isolation, little consciousness of backWarlneSS, little urge of prog rcSS, little realization of the ncce Ssity of surveying the country to find out | it's resources, little moral obligation to develop all powers and promises. Sometimes resources are not even conserved. Wood is appallingly scarce and coal seventy-odd dollars a ton, and yet many who cut down trees do not replant. The industries are sim ple-copper and brass work, skin col lecting, tanning, rug weaving, dyeing. l The one great industry, oil wells, Is under the control of foreign power! !
