Through a Woman's Eyes
The Uoman Pays-The Tares, Too!
BY JEAN NEWTON

We'll. really. don't know what to
think about it-I still leave those things
to the men. We're so new at it, you
know"
This was statement of an other
wise intelligent woman with regard to
matter of wide civic interest.
And the sentiment is by no means so
uncommon in this year of our Lord
1921 as one would certainly expect 1t to
be. That is. it was not-until a short
time ago when something happened.
The Governor of New York State
told large non partisan organization
of women voters that they were un-
necessary and n menace.
That did a very good thing. 1t fur
nishcd the impetus for women who had
thenceforth thought lightly of or neg
lected their political and civic duties
to sit up and take notice.
In that same State the recent publica-
tion of the income tax returns brought
out the fact that ono fifth of the total
returns were filed BY women. Realize
the proportion of men and women en-
gased in gainful occupation and think
what this means. 1t seems only yester-
day that speaking of industrial equality

The Monkey Servants


THE tiny fairies, fitting like dragon

Wisher, the goblin, and the African
maid and youth, through the groves of
Twinkling Isle, to the base of high
cliff. On top Of the cliff stood tree
loaded with yellow fruit.
Peggy and Rilly gave a shout when
they saw the fruit.
Oranges !" cried Peggy. Oranges
growing on trees!'
"Jiminety" exclaimed Billy. II
never saw oranges growing any place
except on fruit stands" At that Folly
Wisher chuckled.
Would you like a nice, ripe. juicy
orange right off tree?" he asked. "lf
you would like one, wish for it.
II do wish for an orange" cried
Peggy. II wish for one for each of us. '
Whiz! An orange few through the
air, hitting Peggy and knocking the
breath out of her. Folly Wisher
laughed; he thought it a good joke on
Peggy to get her wish that way.
Whiz! A second orange hit Folly
Wisher right in the middle of his

Adventures With q Purse

T SUPPOSE we can all resign our
selves to the fact that there is no
longer any doubt as to the weather.
Summer is here to stay and everything
that is warm or just even so much as
looks warm is put out of sight. Heavy
winter blankets come in that category
and we all hasten to get them out OF
the way. OF course, they must be put
away clean. but dear me, they are 30
cumbersome for one to wash oneself in
this heat. There is a reliable estab-
lishment which turns out the blankets

and seventy five cents for single ones.
Flowers are fitting decoration for
summer frock, but they soon wilt and
die and frequently stain the front Of
n porishablc gown. And so, | was de-
lighted to find some flowers made Of
organdy and unless you have seen them
YOU have no idea how perky and fresh
looking they are. One bunch was

pink, yellows, puppies and red. but such
delicate shades that they blended beau
tifully. This bunch was priced Mt 81 30
And then there were other lunches: one
flower was salmon -cOlored with rich
green leaves of the organdie. All such
fascinating combinations that 1t would
be difficult to find the prettiest.
I'm always interested in cool. dainty
blouses and therefore am constantly
watching for them. Today saw one

fresh and cool. 1t was of sheer, white
dotted swiss, made with frill of the
same material down the front. Thu
edge Of the collar. frill and turn back
cuff were hemstitiched and the blouse
would be ideal for office or informal
wear. 1t was priced at 50. 90.

Say it with Organdy this seems
TO be the command Of every summer
and this season We are more submissive
than usual. The message of the mate.
rial is delivered frequently through the
sleeves, and those introduced in the
model Of soft blue marocan crepe illus

mood.
The fact of it is that these long.
loose Organdy sleeves, which are ex
tremely wide at the wrist and which are
set off with fine tucks. are an echo of
smart Jenny coat dress of navy serge

WHAT'S WHAT
Nv HELEN DECTE

A Pennsylvania correspondent, writ,
ing in reference to the Inclusive bow"
discussed in a recent What's What. asks
whether or not a bow of this sort forms
a precedent for future recognition.
Not at all. When n woman exchanges
bows In passing a woman known to her,
accompanied by another woman whom
she does not recognize, the inclusive bow
is merely q formal extension of courtesy
to a stranger who Is known to her
friend. In the same spirit the unknown
woman acknowledges the courtesy of
the friend Of her friend by returning the
bow.
This civil formality certainly does not
mean the beginning Of acquaintance
without an Introduction. It Is on the
same principle that when one man Of
group takes off his hat in acknowledg.
ment of woman's bow of recognition.
all the men with him remove their hats
in comrade.courtesy.
