CLUB WOMEN To
SPEAK IN FAVOR
Of DISARMAMENT

A call to al club women of New
favoring disarmament before the
coming conference has been issued
by Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, presi-
lent Of the general federation OF
women's clubs. Every club in the
state is asked to devote a NoVem-
Der meeting to the subject and the
state convention is asked to take
up the issue.
In June the directors of the gem
eral federation unanimously passed
a resolution urging the president
of the United States to call an in
ternational conference to plan for
a reduction of ornaments. The
success of this conference which
will be held on November IL will
depend upon the pressure of public
opinion under which it works, says
Mrs. Winter.
"All of the things we club wo-
men work for, citizenship, educa-
ton, public health, good institu-
tons, conservation, home life, child
welfare, art, music, literature, are
arts and activities of peace" says
Mrs. Winter. War sweeps them
into the dust heap. The very per-
mission to live at all, the very ex-
istence of our children, the build
ing up of all that makes life worth
living depends upon choking down
another war. We must band to-
gether to back the leaders of our
government in their attempts to
secure the future safety of the
world"

A SUPERIOR COLD CREAM.

The cream that talk about most
often in this space is a cleansing
cream made with mineral oil and
the usual wax and spermacetti. But
there Is another formula for a. cold
cream which is not only cleansing
but flesh building as well. The
formula Is as follows:
Fine Cold Cream.
Rose water, ounces.
Almond oil, 4 ounces.
Spermacetti, l ounce.
White wax, l ounce.
Tincture of benzoin, 1 drachm.
This Is made in the usual way.
The white wax and spermacetti and
the oil are melted together and the
rose water and bezoin, slightly
warmed, are added, the whole mass
being beaten up until it begins
to turn creamy. Then pour 1t Off
into Jars. Thirty grains Of powder
ed boraX may be added to the rose
water if you wish the cream to be
whittier and slightly more astringent.
Olive oil may be substituted for the
almond oil if you prefer.
This cream should be used IL the
skin is dry. Since 1t is cleansing
and also nourishing, it should also
be used for treating wrinkles. An
ordinary cold cream is no good at
all for this.
The only effective way to use cold
cream is to open the pores of the
skin by holding cloths wrung from
hot water over the face. The cream
is then aged in, and what re-
mains on the surface of the skin is
wiped off with dry cloth. An

BEAUTY CHATS

Ice rub or an astringent should be
used afterward. The combination
of nourishing cream and an as
tringent is excellent for keeping
the Skin youthful.
Mother.-Almost any hair may
be trained to curl, If the hair is not
too coarse. AS your little girl is so
young, there is no reason why her
hair will not train into finger curls,
or fluffed by turning the ends into
ringlets. Try the soft kid curriers'
to start the training and only curl
the ends of the hair, while you are
keeping 1t bobbed.
Peggy.-Drink plenty Of milk to
gain in weight, and be liberal IN
using butter, or mayonnaise that is
made with olive oil. A tablespoon
full of this oil three times each day
will also fatten and If taken with
the same amount OF grape juice, the
oil is not tasted. The ten pounds
that you need should not take long
to acquire. If you do this.
Disqualification the bust APP
pears too large, the effect may
usually be changed by wearing the
corset loosened at the waistline.

is very loosely confined below teh
waist, VIII also be means of de-
tracing from any over develop
menL of the bust. With very young
girls. large bust merely signifies
an unevenness in growth and the
proportions are much better after
they have fully developed. Learn
how to dress SO this will not be so
noticeable, which is much better
than tying to reduce the bust by
ARTIFICIAL means.

Thlngs Spanish are appearing in
every conceivable manner on all
the fashionable frocks, wraps and
hats. Evening gowns hint strange
ly of full skirts, tight bodices and
much lace and spangles. Hats are
sometimes worn with these frocks
to complete the Spanish effect.
The street hats, however. which
milady will wear with suit and
frock this season are far more
Spanish than a castanet itself. The
newest tendency is to have span
giles, black lace wells or large ear
rings reminiscent Of old Spain
trimming every new hat. Toreador
shapes with tiny daggers hanging
wickedly from the edge of the
brim, long loop ear rings of black
or colored glass or ivory, Jet orna-
ments and long draped wells of
black lace or tiny ones which bare
ly veil the eyes are all used extern
sively this fall.
Pictured here Is modish tur-
ban Of soft silk plush. 1t is
trimmed with a regular stockade
of vanished black ribbon and in
addition two huge pear-shaped ear
rings of jet give the necessary
Spanish air.

THE WOMAN HE Married
REALIZATION.
m
By JANE PHELPS.

I had received wonderful let

vacation time and he would soon
be with us. was delighted that
he had done so well in his studies
He had sent me his report and
with that, and his letter in my
hand, / hurried into the study to
thow them to Dick.
had found the letter upon my
return from an errand to the
town. l had no thought of being
quiet, but evidently l had made
no noise to warn Dick of my re-
turn. The study door was not
latched. I just touched it, and
it opened a trifle, noislessly.
1t seemed to me that all my life
time had been filled with the
agony ! felt as I saw Juanita in
Dicks arms and heard his words
OF love--passionate words such as
he used to- me when we We're first
married, and which ! never had
forgotten in all the years.
1 stood motionless staring
through that opening. Minutes
passed that seemed like hours.
Then as Dick released Juanita
with a long kiss upon her lips, I
turned and fled to my room and
locked the door.
Why had not screamed out at
them in agony I do not know. I
shut my eyes that I might not see
her in his arms, that l might not
see the look on his face-that
look of passionate alteration.
AS invariably happens in times
of great mental stress, minute
matters will obtrude-so then the
way Juanita was dressed came to
me. The clinging gown of sap
phire blue showing every line of
her slender figure, the velvet band
that held the riotous blonde hair
In some semblance of order, yet
which accentuated its disorder at
the same time, the blue slippers-a
daring daytime costume, but the
sort she always affected.
I seemed to hear hysterical
weeping somewhere, moaning, and
did not realize it came from my
own lips until l put my hand and
found blood--where I had bitten
them in my effort not to scream
out my agony and rebellion.
There was terrible bitterness in
my heart. ! had been SO trust
full of their friendship, so sure of
Dick.
'It is all your fault, a part Of
your punishment. Had you been
a good wife in the beginning, Dick
never would have seen Juanita,
never have known her."
knew that was far-fetched
even as a thought, yet 1t added to
my unhappiness. I rose. stagger-
ing as from WEAKNESS, and bathed
my face.

Something whispered -- keep
quiet, play part, win him back,
away from her.
But could 7? Could I play

room, part of the home I loved
SO dearly. and my glance fell on
the letter from Junior, on the re-
port which had so gladdened me.
Both were lying on the floor twist
ed and torn. In my agony at the
knowledge that the boys father
cared for Juanita I had forgotten
him. They were bruised and torn
like my heart.
I gathered them up and tender
ly smoothed them out. Then !
reread the letter written in Jun
ior's boyish scrawl with trembling
lips, but eyes dry and smarting.
For the boys sake. came the
whisper.
I heard the front door open and
close. Juanita was going. / went
to the window and behind the
draperies I watched her glide
down the street with her sinuous
walk, watched her until I could
see her no longer because of a
turn at the corner, and knew in
my heart that below me in the
study window stood another
watcher-knew 1t as well as If
had seen him.
Had I needed confirmation, the
closing of the study door after
Juanita had passed from sight
would have given 1t me.
For an hour longer 1 struggled
with my pain, with myself. knew
/ would not be missed, that Dick
would think me still in town, or
with someone who wished work
done.
At the end of that time I again
bathed my face, changed to
more becoming gown, and went
down stairs. tappen on the
study door.
"Still busy, Dick?" I asked,
speaking as naturally as possible.
Yes. will you come in?" but
his quick drawing Of loose leaves
toward him told me he had not
been working since Juanita left,
but thinking Of her.
