The One Man Woman
By Ruth Agnes Abeling

''But ] want my mama l want
my mamaw Dorothy walled her
head buried in Kate's lap.
Kate gathered the child in her
arms. But Dorothy refused to be
comforted.
Justin, who had been sitting
silently by, rose from his chair.
LET me take the little day" His
heavy voice rumbled in his throat.
he held out his arms Kate put the
child in then.
Holding the little body close,
tin set off across the veranda, talk
ing the while, quietly, to the sobbing
child.
Strangely, as the elderly man
talked to Dorothy, the sobbing
ceased. The silent prairie man, with
that heaven-given quality, born Of
the love of broad stretches Of rain
Still carrying the child, he walked
Of across the field to the woodland,
Kate watched, as the figure d1sap'
peared in the shadow Of the trees.
How many times her father had
taken her in his arms, when she was
a child, and walking cut through
that very grove, Of which he seemed
50 much part, sooJned her troubled
heart.
He always had seemed to undcr-
stand the burden q the human
aeart and his touch unon the wounds
had been as gentle as love could
At length Kate turned to the
house and went upstairs to her own
room. As she opened the door, the
battered trunk which had once been
Dams property came into the line

She hesitated, her hand still on
the door.

fluence impelled her to raise the lid
and kneel beside it.
She touched the garments which
were folded inside. Dams garments.
Tomorrow James Latham would
come. He had told her he loved her,
that he wanted to marry her. Thera
we're but "a hours yet to elapse be-
fore he expected her answer.
Here, in the presence Of Dams
possessions, things which once had
ben verify a part Of him, the situa-
SION seemed ridiculous. Yet there
were Alice and her story, with their
embittering faint. Could James
Latham and his devotion dull the
pain Of that wound Kate Won
dered.

MORE THAN HALF THE FOLKS
RENT THEIR HOMES.

KEN lF1ElK HOMEo.
That more than half the homes
in the United States are rented
and that most Of those VINO own
their homes have encountered them
by mortgage, is revealed by The
Birmingham News who have been
studying statistics along this line.
Here is what the News says:
OF the 24,351 ,67G homes in the
United States, as disclosed by the
census of 1920, 13,236,700 were
rented. OF the 11,114,967 class
ed as owned 6,862, $50 were free
and 4,252,557 were encumbered:
The bad feature about the situa-
ton is the increase in cucumber
ed homes; for the previous census
Of 1910 showed 6,236,074 free
homes, with 3,037,101 cucumber
ed. With gain of only 626,446
in owned homes, there has been
the amazing increase of 1,215,34G
in encountered homes!
For some reason, not apparent,
home owners have been plastering
mortgages on their homes. Some
viii say that the expense Of war
time had to be met; doubtless this
was true in some instances, but
with a home owned and free and no
rent to pay, it must have taken
rather an extraordinary set of
circumstances to bring about mort
gaging the home. Certainly not
so widespread or general as Il ese
figures would indicate.
Other students of the situation
charge it to the extravaganza of
the period after the war, when
everybody seems to have lost his
head and was buying right and
left. The asserting has been made
that the automobile is largely re-
sponsible for this situation and for
the failure Of home owning to
grow as it should have grown;
people have bought cars instead
of homes, and those with homes bat
no cars, who wanted to be in the
swim Or keep up with their neigh
bors, have put a plaster on che
place and started burning up gaso-
line.
In the 1920 figures North Da-
kota led, with Is per cent of own
ed homes; New Mexico had 70 per
cent, and South Dakota and Idaho
with CT per cent. The greatest
gains in the number of owned
homes have been made in New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, and the District Of Co.
lumbia.

BOBBED HAIR
WAS "THE THING. ="

Bodied hair was going out of
style when King Tut tomb was
discovered under the sands CT
Egypt. But leading hairdressers
say that bobbed hair may rule for
another year or two, as part of the
King Tut fashion crazes now he
ing planned by dictators Of styles.
Bobbed hair and bobbed wigs
were the thing in King Tut's
day.
Among the rich and royal ladies
Of Tut's time, the headdrcss was
a masterpiece that must have re-
quired weeks Of work, elaborate
and fantastic hair and jeweIry
forming large wings on top Of the
head.
The high-steppers and flashy
dressers strung their hair through
beads, giving the effect Of crop
of necklaces growing out of the
skull. Keep your eyes open. Some
in your community will try it,
Girls who have been plucking
their eyebrows into straight lines,
with tweezers, will be glad to learn
that such was the style in King
Tut's day.
When it came to gowns, the most
daring Egyptian social leaders
wore garments made entirely Of
transparent beads.
Starched and CAREFUL pressed
ruffles and pIeats were the rage
in Cairo and other Egyptian cities
$500 years ago.
Jewelry was worn extravaganza
~, profusely-Iarge rings, brace
lets, armIets, necklace, anklets,
and head-bauds. The Fans were
carried, also hand mirrors. Nails
were stained reddish-yellow with
henna juice. Loud" perfumes and
thick oils were rubbed all over the
body.
A queer custom among fashion
able ladies' Of ancient Egypt was
painting a second set Of eyebrows
below the eyes, so that the optics
resembled sandwiches.
How much Of this barbaric
oriental display wifi creep into the
fashions Of American women? Pro
baby more than any Of US now
dream.

& Company, New York City, says

The American people are rapidly

Americans are fast becoming

in Encouragement. He thinks, in
another hundred years there will
net be a sane person in the coun-
try.
Cheer up, Doe Predetermined
ness and maniacal hysteria are
pandemic in these United States.
But that's because the war left us
in a highly-strung nervous CON
dition, In time wen settled down
to normal. Are headed that way
now. And normal is sanity
The crazziest ones never are
locked up in the asyIums. That's
because sanity and insanity are va
vague terms that cannot be accur-
atetely defined, except that aver
age mentality is sanity and that in
sanity is a deviation from the nor
mal-above or below.

rope, or at least most Of them,

A man may be crazy by one
standard, and sane by another. In
grading mentality, most of us are
like the soldier who said. Every
body's out of step but me-"
An English brain specialist, writ
ing in London Daily Mail says one
Of the commonest forms of insani-
ty is the arrest or short-circuiting
Of the basic human instincts in the
individual.
For instance, our most powerful
control is the instinct Of seif-pre-
servation. When we fail to re-
spond to that instinct, and con
template suicide, we are on the
borderland Of insanity. We also
are crazy, more or less, when we
fail to respond normally to the do
nestle instinct, the herd of social
instinct and normal expression Of
the religious instinct.
Chronic gloominess, bad temper,
defects Of memory, premature in
ferences and extravagant imagin-
iEgs-aIl these are mild forms of
mental arrangement, says the Eng
lish specialist.
He adds: "GullibiIity is also an
indicator Of weak thought. As re-
regards the affections, the well-bal-
anced mind shows more likes than
dislikes, more friendIines than
hatred, more sympathy than anti
pathy."
