Furthermore, the Congress that sub
mitted the Eighteenth Amendment
was elected in November, 19l6-five
months before the United States de-
clared war-and it was elected large

for submission was by more than
the required two-thirds majority; the
amendment was ratified by A. states,

it effective; and when it went into
effect, January 16. 1920, SO states
had enacted prohibition laws OF their

A passionate resentment rose in his
heart against death, against what ap.

room and stood. for a moment, looking
down at the girl.
She seemed like a creature from an
other world. He could hardly believe
that she was woman. She was too
ethereal, her features were too exqui-
sitely perfect, and then suddenly, as he
stood looking down at her, q pain tore
across his heart.

some unknown reason he wanted her
close to him, he felt that If he could
hold her near, by his own strength
and virility he could keep the spark of

he willed her to live. Between shut
teeth, he murmured the words half
aloud.

Over and over he repeated the words
until they became almost a defiance

A Question Of Manners

Dear Cynthia--Does the right to
vote given to our women mean that
the men have given UP their hold on
manly courtesles. SO much admired In
tho past? ! have noticed In the past
year or so the growing carelessness OF
men on points Of courtesy. Try to
enter trolley car or elevated train
and you are lucky II you get In at all
before the men; They rush in, gaze
hurry for a vacant seat, Just in time
to make n woman stand. I have actu-
ally seen a man slide in a seat as a
woman was about to sit down. Four
men sit down: spread out; open their
papers and keep their eyes glued to a
paper-so they won't see the woman
standing in front of them They take
up the seating space Of five and woe
betide the unfortunate who tries to
quartet. This Is true-I- noticed 1t
several times myself and particularly

three different men, we'll dressed. and
presumably of good families, tapped on
the shoulder and asked to give an old
lady their seat. Did they mean to sit
there while these old people stood? No
they were reading their papers and did
not see them.
There are exceptions to every rule,
and SO we have them in this case. Men
have been courteous enough to offer a
woman a seat and she has sat down as

acknowledging the kindness. Naturally.

CHAPTER v
An Iron Will

TT WAS Steele who, with his iron
L will, held death away from Anne
Temple. On the night when her life
was at its lowest ebb and II seemed
that each struggling breath that she
drew would be her last, he went into
the sick room and asked the nurse to 90
out and leave them alone.
Marcia demonstrated. 5....
Everything IS being done for her,
John, there's nothing you can do, and
I want the nurse to watch her until
Or. Henderson returns at IL"
Marcia had an uncanny feeling that
in some way this unknown girl had be-
witched all of them. Certainly she her
self had fallen at least temporarily un-
der the girls spell. for ever since John
had brought her home his mother had
given up all her social activities in
watch over the patient herself. But to-
night, as she met her sons eyes, she
felt fear for the first time. John had
never before fallen under the spell OF
any woman. Suppose this stranger by
her very helplessness and the almost
fairy like quality of her personality had
fascinated him. OF course, 1t was RI
diculous, such things didn't happen ex
cnpting in books, but why did nc want
to be left alone with her? There wa.
something very strange about it all.
But John Steele did not argue, it wa.
not his way to do that. He simply
took his mother gently by the shoul.

suring look at the nurse who stood no.

sickroom and closed the door.

For the school girl In her teens the
combination of plated skirt with plain
jacket is one which never outgrOws its
charm. Such alliances are developed in
many different fabrics and colOrs. but
1t Is natural that in season when we
are brown on all sides there should be
q great deal Of concentration upon this
tone. Brown is. in fact, quite as popu-
lar for the school girl as it is for her
mother and older sister.
For the unusual little school dress
which we show today, two tones of this
tint are successfully combined. The
plated tweed skirt is of wood brown,
while the jacket is in rich Havana
tint. But the brown frock needs some
touch of vivid color, particularly for
the youthful. and here the necessity is
recognized by the orange stripes which

Correct Lighting

Rooms are artifcally lighted in two
ways, by architectural or fixed light.
Ing appliances and by movable lamps.
The former may be divided into two
classes; those which depend from the
ceiling and those which are attached to
the walls. The first, or dependent
groups, includes chandeliers, hanging
lamps and ianthorns and drop lights.
The second or wall group include
sconces, wall lanthorns. girandoles,
wall lamps and sundry sorts Of
brackets. 80 '-- .''.
Impressive chandeliers are appro-
pirate in large and formal rooms or in
very large halls. In small or informal
rooms they have no place. The smaller
chandeliers with only few lights can
be more often used. When, however,
chandeliers are used, there should be q
sufficient number of lights at lower
level, otherwise the center Of illumina :
ton will be too high and distant to be
agreeable. ...
Hanging lamps or lanthorns are use
full I'M halls and small formal rooms.
Electric drop lights are excellent above
dressing tables.
Side lights are not only useful, but
have definite decorative value. There
should be a sufficient number OF them
to give an evenly .diffused light and they
should be arranged at a not too great
height and In such position as to

Suggestions for a Party
b the Editor Of Woman's Page:

n the Editor Of Woptdn's Page:
Dear Madam am giving a gather
ing party on a Saturday night and am
going to have about thirty boys and
girls ranging from sixteen to twenty-one
years Of age. would like to know
what to serve and what games can be
played. How should introductions be
made, as ! am net acquainted with the
fellows the girls are bringing with
them? Would greatly appreciate all the
help you can give me. as I want to
make a success of the affair. S. F.
For such large crowd II would be
much less trouble and expense to serve
a buffet supper rather than a regular
dinner. At a buffet supper, the guests
do not sit at the table. but around the
room, the boys serving the girls. Sand
wiches. salad. ice cream and cake will
be plenty, and perhaps some candy and
nuts. II the guests are not coming for
supper. ice cream and cake will do for
refreshments. am sending you a list
Of games that are lots Of fun to play
with a large crowd. AS the girls bring
in their friends they will introduce them
10 you, and then you will be able TO
introduce them TO your other friends.
Just say, Miss Smith. would like you
to meet Mr.. Jones"
