is SPIRIT OF
WE AMERICANS
BY KoRA HEMRY-MEACHAM.


The ability OF the citizens of the
small town to unite in cooperative
effort, such as chambers of COM
merce, civic clubs, chautauquas
and similar organizations. is the
chief purpose of American civiliza-
ton, deciarec -ars. George ID.
Ruoff in a very comprehensive
paper on the chautauqua move
ment in America, given before the
Woman's club on Friday after
noon.
The spirit of town pride, mu
tual interest in the good of whole
community, does not obtain in 9TH
er countries as we have developed
it here. An educational center at
Chautauqua Lake, in 1874, founded
by Bishop Vincent ana Louis Mil
Ter for the purpose Of Bible study
and training of Sunday school
which the chautauqua developed,
entertainment, music and the dra-
matte features were added.
The old lyceum bureau came
even before the chautauqua and
was probably responsible for the
modern chautauqua as we know it.
Before the days Of clubs, maya
zines and Sunday papers, the ly.
ceum platform was about the only
way great orator could get his
message to the public and many
| famous men awaited themselves of
the opportunity. 1t was a valua-
bile aid in the war, as President
Wilson called upon it TO aid in the
molding of public opinion and
President Harding used it in the
interest of the limitation OF arma-
ments The average" attendance at
| the chautauqua courses is thirty
| five million. 1t reaches every lit
tie hamlet in the country. Perhaps
one reason for its wide appeal is
that it has never been subsidized
or gotten into politics or been in
volved in any propaganda other
than that of education and enter
| tainment.
| Mrs. C. c. Meacham gave a talk
! on the best short stories of the day,
reviewing those selected by Ed
ward O'Brien, of London, from
American magazines written by
American authors, and, in addition,
| other stories that were favorably
| mentioned by the O. Henry memo-
rial committee and other sources
Of authority on the short story.
The names OF seven women appear
among the twenty-odd writers of
the best short stories, and the
stories vary in style and treatment
from the deeply pscho-analytic to
the purely romantic. Mr.. O'Brien
declared that no great story had
been written by any American this
year but Mrs. Meacham suggested
| that her hearers need not be de-
tered on that account from read
ing and enjoying in their own way
lanything in the way of a story that
brought to them an individual
| message or the tightening Of a dull
mood.
The musical program inter
sspersed through the program con.

numbers by Mrs. Lewis i. Thomp.

Without a word Jack laid the
table, quietly and neatly. He looked
at the vegetables cooking on the
stove, and then in the ice box.
There he found a steak which he
put on the broiler.
Helen was going to that party
Barnes was giving in spite of all
he had said. Those white satin
slippers told the tale. She thought
she could keep right on disregard
ing his wishes just as she always
had She must not go-but how

Jack made no reply, but cut the
steak while she served the vege-
tables. Then he hurried into the
bathroom to wash his hands. Com
ing back through their room he
saw the white dress on the bed. 1t
angered him fearfully. He slammed
the door. and the key fell upon the
floor. He picked it up and thrust
it into his pocket, Helen was call

HELEN HUNTERS HUSBAND
BY JANE PHELPS.

If you had given me some money
could have had it dressed down
town when l bought my slippers,
but hair-dressirg parlors don't
have charge accounts with women
too poor to have theirs done only
twice year,"
She took his assent for granted,
land well she might. He had
cleared away for her too often to
feel at all uncertain about it.
"1'll call you when l am ready
to have my dress hooked" she said
from the hall. t'
Still Jack didn't speak.
His wits seemed slow. He hadn't
spoken of feeling i'll. He followed
Helen into the bedroom.
II don't feel very well tonight,
Helen. Won't you stay with me?"
Seems to me you have taken
sick very sudden! Trying to keep
me home, aren't you? 1t won't
work, Jack! Try something else"
Her gay laugh trailed after him as
he went back to the dining room
and commenced to clear the table
His thoughts were busy. Was
there anything he could to keep
her home? The idea OF her being
with Barnes after what had hap
lpened. of her wanting to be with
him, hurt Jacks pride more than
it ever had been hurt in all his
life. =
Come on and hook me, Jack!"
her voice interrupted his musings.
He obeyed the voice from habit.
| He hooked the dress, carefully.
painstakingly, as he always did. He
| had learned to. be quite an adept
ladies maid in the last year, since
Helen had gone out SO much.
The bell rang.
There are the Laytons., Tell
them ] will be out in a moment"
AS he turned to leave the room
he thrust his hand into his pocket,
1.-THE key! Quick as flash he closed
the door, and then in the hall, he
turned and locked it. Then he
Istood still while the door bel! rang
again and again.
whats the matter? Why don't
lyou let them in?" Helen called.
They're not coming in, neither
are you going out" Jack said dis
tinctly, but quietly, thanksu' for the
first time their bedroom window
was on a shaft, instead of where
ANYONE COULD hear"
"Your joke has gone far enough'
Let me out at once!" Helen de-
manded angrily, as the ringing Of
1.-THE bell ceased"

aloud, smiling to herself.

stagecraft is too obvious. Why,
they even destroy the tints and
lustre of the hair with heavy double
mesh nets--nets that are as rlain
to the eye as boudoir cap"
1t was too much for Ame-' On
beauty specialists.
"The madame Is mistaken"
snapped one of the American dele
gates. "Not only do Americans
surpass the French in originality
of couture, but they have greater
subtlety in detail. American women
of good taste have discarded coarse
double-mesh nets, now worn only
by factory girls and other workers
who require great durability. Most
women have returned to the use OF
single-mesh real hair nets and
other invisible types. Moreover,
fashions caprices do not tempt the
American women to coiffures that
do not harmonize with face, figure
and raiment. | submit that this is
point to which French women
might give serious thought"
So the meeting was adjourned,
leaving the international hair-net
war in a verbal tangle of vcluble
French and English.

WHAT ONE WOMAN DID.

When I was a child, I knew a
very homely woman. l suppose at
that time she was 80, to me she
seemed 40 or more; children exag-
gerate age SO.
She was homely. First of all, she
was an old maid. Her hair was
getting gray even then, and rather
thin at that, she had a muddy skin,
large mouth, prominent teeth,
not much chin and a dreadful nose
large and badly shaped. Not only
that, she was thin and hollow
chested, stopped, and was awk-
ward, and too tall for the rest OF
her proportions.
Somehow she dropped out Of the
family circle. Rumors came back
that the man she had been engaged
to for ten years I believe she had
gone away TO marry him) had been
killed in South America as he was
about to sail home to meet her.
Her mother, who had been an In
valid taking all her care, died. Miss
I. was poor. A much-loved niece
died. Misfortune seemed to mark
Miss T. for its own.
Fifteen years later met her
again. She came to friends
house one summer afternoon--I did
not know her, of course, until later.
| remember she wore a white silk
taffeta with black stripes, q wide,
droopy brimmed black hat softened
by a lace veil. She was graceful,
so her tallness only counted as an
asset, her hair was snow white, and
oxquisitely done, her large hands SO
we'll cared for they were lovely, her
skin clear, her wide mouth SO sweet
it was beautiful. She was SO dainty
and fragrant that she was like a
flower--and no one stopped to
think whether she was homely or
not.
She had simply learned how to
make herself exquisitely fine and
charming and dainty. No woman
needs more than that.
Reader: Extracting the coarse
hairs that are so disfiguring on a
woman's face Is a sensible thing to
do, until it is possible to destroy the
roots In some way that will not in
lure the skin. Use blunt end tweez-
ers for this. CASTLE soap will not
canse hair to grow.
Thanks; Henna can be pur-
