Woman's enterprise., 1922-01-13

These defeated souls used to appea
to me, but they don't anymore.
My friend of the defeated longing
tor the dotted red swiss dress spends
every cent she can save and above
household expenses on the latest GRO
chet and embroidery patterns and ma
terials.
Jimmy's father could have had moi
only a gun, but the whole hunters
outfit, had he lavished on them what
ne spent in treating himself to cigars
and "soft' drinks.
In spite of being an older sister ir
a large family of selfish brothers and
sisters, Jane could no doubt have also
been the possessor Of that "home in
the country" She lived an emptie1
existence because of the stif1ed wish
in her soul. Emptier because she
never had the house, but because she
lived and died under the illusion of an
enforced disappointment.
| wish l were Mrs. Y. Boiling it
down, why do I wish to be Mrs. Y?
Would l like to be purse-proud like
her? Or tied up to that dried Goldfish
Of husband? In fact l do not like
anything about Mrs. Y. except that
she has larger surplus of cash than
|, which permits her to do a few
things would like to do, as we'll as
a lot of things I could not be hired to
do. She can order certain dishes at
the restaurant, which I must deny
myself-mushroom and chicken, for

example.
That's about the only thing l evel
saw Mrs. Y. Rave or do that wholly
! approved Of.
Why not then save a quarter or two
occasionally out of the household al
]oWance and at the end of the week
complete my happiness by going down
town and treating myself to a dish
of chicken cooked with mushrooms
Why don't |? Because I am self-lim-
tied. | have put that dish among the
list of life's good things l may not
have.
Hubby is also envious. He envies
Mr.. Y. because he is independent, be-
cause he says he can do as he pleases.
Now what does Mr.. Y. do that pleases
Hubby? Not a thing but play go'f.
Come to sift it down Hubby doesn't
want Y's financial cares nor his FAM
lily, nor the kind of house he ives in,
nor the general unpopularity that
shrouds him like a mist. He doesn't
want anything Of US but his liberty
to play golf.
Is hubby nailed down hand and foot
that he cannot also play golf? Ger
talnly not, but Hubby's notion is, and
nobody has ever been able to jar him
out of it, that you have to be a rich
man to play golf. Poor Hubby he
doesn't know, because he has never
inquired, that there are beautiful golf
links in the park, and that his old
clothes are ideal for the game, and
that s22.00 wisely expended will set
him up in golf tools good enough for
anybody.
"Break through the paper walls of
circumstances is phrase found in
one of H. G. Wells books about a GER
tain Mr.. Polly, who was a fast pris-
oner to circumstances, or his thoughts
about them. Mr.. Polly had certain
tangible liabilities. First of all, he
had a wife he just could not get
along with, a business that steadily
deteriorated because he never was
and never would be equal to it, and
violent and continuous pain in his
stomach, due to his wife's impossible
Thoroughly discouraged he
made up his mind to cut his throat
and burn the house to conceal the
fact, and also to get the insurance
for his wife. Everything succeeded
except cutting his throat. He got
away from the circumstances that
crippled his spirit, and was happy
ever afterward, living out his dream,
which happened to be little house by
l riverside and much peace, minus
;he wife whose cooking gave him in
digestion and who Sc complainings
gave Inn the heartache. And nobody,
east Of all the wife, was the worse
for Mr.. Polly's dash through the paper
walls of circumstances.

COLLEGE EDITORS
DEFEND MODERN GIRL

If some college student editors
! have taken the lead in speaking
harshly to and about the short-skirt-
ed, free-acting, free-talking girl of
today, others Of the youthful BROTH
edhood present defenses equally pun
gent and pointed. Thus "The Tar
TAM the newspaper of the Carnegie
Institute Of Technology at Pittsburg,
rises up to defend the girl Of to-day:
"Just at present it seems to be the
custom for every college paper to take
a slam at the girls. 1t would appear
that the younger generation is going
to rack and ruin unuless a halt is
called in the terrible downward trend
Of the fashions. No ray of hope
lightens the gloom which is, in the
minds of most Of our contemporaries,
descending upon our colleges in the
form of an assurance that all the
young women are going from bad to
worse. They not only wear clothes
which would shock the most sophisti-
Gated of few years back, but they
dance-well, they dance simply aw-
full.
"Of course girls are wearing short
er skirts than they have ever worn
before. But what wholesome, clean
minded man would not rather see
woman in sane, short skirt, with
plenty Of freedom to move as nature
intended she should, than in one of
the sheath creations which empha-
sized her every contour while hob
bling her movements almost beyond
endurance, sweeping the ground in
an attempt to trip her at every step.
And yet more immodest with the in
novation of the sensible short skirt.
"Yet the gentler sex must be re-
formed before it is too late, say our
virtuous youth. We have attended
several dances during the last week,
and no shocking decolletees were no.
ticed except possibly on matrons who
should have known better. The
debutantes were even conservative inI
their manner Of covering the throat.
"Dancing has progressed far from
the day of the waltz and two-step, it
is true. One seldom sees anything
but fox-trots, and few of them are
danced alike. The 'shimmy' is spok-
en- of quite heatedly, but we have
never seen it carried to the extremes
which others rave about, and we have
attended not few parties which
were said to have been just a trife
rough. And in the case of regular
campus dances, it is almost never at
tempted at all. The regular fox-trot,
with its comparatively quick time
and movement, can never compare
with the slow, dreamy, clinging waltz
for effects on the emotions. Still, we
must be reformed.
"The girls of the present day are
as good as, and as bad as, the girls
of any generation. They have their
fads and foibles as their mothers had
before them and as their children will
have after them. But, as a whole,
they are just little more sensible, we
think, little more frank and honest
with themselves and with their
friends, and little more able to take

preaching from the SNUG members of
the opposite sex than they have ever

CasseU Has
Car Mystery

Sunday evening about eleven O'Clock
John Miller, Cassell, who lives on the
Prairie road noticed two cars going
west. He could hear only ne~motor
so supposed one car was in trouble
and the other pulling it. About ten
minutes later he heard a car again
and looking out saw apparently the
same cars going back. In the morn
ing the milk teams coming to the
factory found the wreck of a 1920
model Ford touring car on the road
between Miller's and Cooper's. There
was no license plate, nothing to
identify the car, which had been
burned, and no one saw any persons
or heard any disturbance.

every hit while Kilbourn wasted
