their thoughts secret from men for
their own good, from women for
their own safety. And agreeing
with Miss Hurst, Mr.. Hergesheimer
adds that men prefer blonde heads
rafting with emptiness.
An American travel story in this
number of HcCaHs is Two Women
Cross Death Valley in Wagon"
The women are Mrs. Roger G. Per-
kins and Mrs. Edward S. Jordan of
Cleveland. Death Valley is in the
heart of the Mojave Desert. and
Edna Brush Perkins, who signs the
article, says: Every day from 10
o'clock in the morning until 4 in the
afternoon we existed in a blind stu
por during csr trip" Yet these
women persisted in their experience
and successfully crossed the entire
valley. The outfit consisted of a
white mule and a thin red horse at
tached to ramshackle open wagon.
Also in this number of McCaHs
Gene Stratton-Porter writes Of
"Women's Clothes To-day Sanest
Ever Worn in History" and ex-
presses the wish that women should
be satisfied with less expensive and
less extreme fashions. Elsie Water
bury Morris warns Women of SO,
Take Stock." Women of 80 have
arrived at what should prove to be
the most interesting period of their
life and mature beauty should have
quality all its own.
A girl mayor is a novelty in any
place, but a girl mayor who has
never been a suffragette Is more so.
Marion Hall tells of such a charac-'
ter in "The Girl Mayor of Fairport,"
in the September Success. This
young mayor is practicing physi-
clan in this Ohio town. and she won
her election on an anti-saloon plat
form. In her own laboratories she
makes chemical analyses of all liquor
seized in raids. In this number
Ruth White Cotton gives her expe-
riences of two weeks in the vest
shop of the famous Golden Rule
Nash" factory in Cincinnati, and
calls her article Alias Hattie Clark"
Ada Patterson tells Success readers
some interesting things about Mum
sey and His Ambitions" his newest
ambition being to build the highest
building in the world, "Most of you
know me as the Man Upstairs" says
Mr.. Munsey, who thinks up trou-
blesome new plans" should
have liked to be the head OF family.
Your children are your monument.
|. /, too, viii have a monument.
But it will be of cold steel and chilly
bricks and lifeless mortar"
Women readers can learn from
Elizabeth Fra2er's articles in Good
Housekeeping. In the September
number the subject is "A Political
Forecast" and the American woman
is compared to John Bunyan's Chris
tian when he set forth on his jour-
ney. 1t is a pilgrimage and women
are valiantly struggling onward. En-
gaging in politics does not defemi-
nize women as hard shelled reaction
aries feared Witness Lady Astor,
mother OF six! The women's or
CARNATIONS have every reason to be-
lieve that 1t was through their ef-
forts that the Davenport bill. which
is a State substitute for the Shep-
pard-Towner Enabling Act, was
passed. Women's influence cannot
be felt at once, or within five or ten
years. at is an affair of genera
tions, of cycles"
Another article of value In this
number of Good Housekeeping is
"The Truth About Child Labor" by
Raymond G. Fuller. To plan the de-
liverance OF Americas children from
the labor that destroys calls for
something besides sympathy. We
must approach the problem of child
labor with a freshness of view.
There is poor enforcement Of child
labor laws in many States, but the
condition of twenty years ago do not
exist to-day in factories or mines.
The article gives a history of child
labor legislation since 1886, with
concrete suggestions for reform. In
