conceits and deceits are all as clear as
daylight TO this fair-haired young lady.
As scientist puts a drop Of water

Miss Valentine with men. She studies
them inside out and probably knows
them better than they know themselves.

Finds Good Stout Purse

Miss Lille Stewart, daughter Of Mrs.
Robert LeConte. is sure Of one thing,
and that Is that she does not like
housekeeping. She Is a graduate Of

with the rest Of the debs in her aver
sion to bobbed hair, but is not at all

that Ia her husband. He must be rich. =.

About ninety-fve girls are being
introduced by their parents this
year. Tea follows tea and dance
follows dance as one by one they
are presented and make their debuts
into the social world. This years
"crop" includes the daughters, Of
many of the most prominent Phila-
delphia families, who maintain in
full all traditions Of culture, charm
and beauty.
Among these girls, the flapper is
conspicuously absent. She has had
her little day Of youth and eager
enthusiasm and is passee. Long hair
long dresses, long stockings
everything that was short during
the era of the fapper is heightened.
With but one exception, the debu-
tantes are all for the long tresses

Great Outdoors Calls
IN DebHtnntes of 1922

Athletics plays a great part In the
lives Of the debutantes, and riding,
tennis and hockey are the favorite ont =
door sports.
Not TO be a sport Is 10 be out Of
things. 80 whether they will or no. they
WELD a tennis racquet or tear up and
down long. long field after hockey
ball or Jolt along on horseback. Some
~ this years girls arc champions In the
various sports, tennis having the most
derotees.
But what the debutantes think about
housekeeping The explosive "hate it"
that answered this query from all quar-
tsrs does not leave much doubt as to
tho status Of the kitchen, the broom and
tie duster. Pottering around pots and
PANS has no more charm. and the arts
of cooking and baking are lost, lost
forever. Mention washing dishes and
there Is a groan-a groan for scrubbing
and a groan for cooking. The debu-
tsnte Of this year Is not domestic.
Particularly emphatic in her dislike
Nf housekeeping Is Miss Helen Hope
Montgomery. the very pretty daughter
~ Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Leaning
Montgomery. She will never grow
wildly enthusiastic over a new recipe,
or skip with glee over a brand-new way
10 put UP tomatoes. Dancing and golf
sra so much more interesting. though
she does admit with an engaging smile
that she is no champion at swinging
the clubs.
Miss Montgomery is the one debu-
tante who defends bobbed hair; she
loves It and always has. She likes the
longer dresses for the simple reason
that they make her look tall and dig
ni6ed.
Miss Montsomery's crowning shame,
Of which she is not ashamed, Is sleep.
inr. Morning. noon or night, she can
clip off to dreamland with no trouble
at all. Insomnia has never bothered
her, and according to her friends, when
the has once dozcd of she Is as hard
10 awaken as the Sleeping Beauty of
the Fairy Tales.
When 1t comes to a question Of hus-
bands, Miss Montgomery tells her pref =
erence with the same engaging smile.
the Ideal lie must be tall. good look :
ing good. .natured. He must have a
miilion. and, last but not least, he must
ne bossable. Brcathcs there such a man?

APPEAL S42,500 VERDICT
IN ALIENATION SUIT

WARSAW, Sept. 22.-Lawyers
for Miss Margaret Il. Pierce of Cas-
tile, today were preparing papers for
an appeal from the verdict of $42,-
500 brought in by a jury last night
in favor of Mrs. James O.. Howard
whose husbands affections Miss
Pierce is alleged to have stolen four
years ago when she was sixteen
years old. Mrs. Howard sued for
$50, 900 alleging that her husband
deserted her and three children af-
ter a child was born to Miss Pierce
three years ago.
Miss Pierce took the stand in an
effort to disprove the claim of Mrs.
Howard that she had lured her hus-
band, then forty-four years old,
away from his family. The defense
contended that Miss Pierce was n
country girl with the mentality of u
child of twelve. who fell an easy
victim to Howard. The reading OF
owe letters written by Howard to
Miss Pierce was one of the sensa-
tional features of the case.
Miss Pierce came into her for
tune through the death of her fos-
ter parents. Lyle Smith, a child
hood chum. to whom she is now
engaged, sat beside her during the
trial.

ing on the government strike in
junction, was without any sugges-
tons today from Attorney General
Daugherty for modification of the
restraining order issued Sept. /.
Mr.. Daugherty at the close of the
hearing personally explained the
governments position.
This order" he said, speaks the
last word for the government and
for society and civilization; for
peace and fairness, for liberty and
protection. with firmness and if
necessary with force"
Declaring it the dutS of the gov
eminent to compel the railroads to
furnish transportation, he asserted
also hat it is the obligation of the
government to step in and prevent
interference with transportation.
Until he makes his ruling, the
restraining order Issued Sept. l and
extended for a second ten day Pc
riod remains in effect, Judge Will
kerson announced.
Meanwhile nineteen railways and
their subsidiaries have made peace
with their striking shopmen on the

COAL BARGES AWAIT TUGS
TO HAUL Them AWAY

For the past week there have been
six barges of coal anchored in the
sound opposite the Public Service
power house. which have been the
cause of much comment. TO the
average person it seemed strange
that the barges were floating In the
sound when the New England states
are practically without coal.
investigation of the matter re-
vealed the fact that the barges are
the property of the Bee Line Trans
portation Company. and are waiting
for a tug to pull them away. During
the coal strike the tugs of this line
were taken to the yards of the Perth
Amboy Dry Dock Company where
they were painted and otherwise
overhauled. 1t is said they are now
being provisioned and crews signed
nrior to sailing. 1t is likely that
the coal will be moved within a few
days.

SAMPLE ROAD SHOWN
At TRENTON STATE FAIR

TRENTON, Sept. 22.-One of the
features of the Trenton Fair TINS
year will be the sample road con-
structed there under the supervls-
ion of the New Jersey State Highway
Department. Highway contractors
county and city engineers, road sup
er~intendents, township committee
men, and all others in the state in
| terested in highway construction and
maintenance will have an opportun-
ity of inspecting this actual piece u
work, designed to show them prac-
teal methods and procedure.
The stretch of road at the fair
was made with cinders from soft
coal. After the cinders were dumped
and spread. a light tandem roller
was run over the surface to effect
as much consolidation as possible.
The next step was to apply o oil!
containing approximately 50 per
cent. of asphalt. The road oil seTv-
ed as a dust layer, and also as a con-
solidating and binding medium.
After the asphaltic road oil a ap-
piled at the rate of one-half-gai-
len to the square yard, the roller
was again run over the entire sur
face.
The purpose of the sample road is
to show farmers. highway contrac-
tors and road engineers an efficient
method of building and maintaining
the side roads of the state. The
State Highway Department points
out that such a road would not serve
a main state route, but that it de-
monstrates Il method TO be used in
the all-important work of keeping
the side roads. made of earth, sand,
clay cinders and so forth, in good
