After giving the girls a friendly talk on the evils of paints and pow ders and the invaluable asset of good health at all times, the women walked down the aisles and closely examined every girl suspected of being a rouge devotee. Girls with artificial coloring on their cheeks or visible specks of powder were asked to form a line, which was, marched out to the wash basin.
 In this monner every room in the school was inspected. Few girls were overlooked in the crusade, which was unannounced to the pupils, but had been long considered by Mrs. Clark.

Women of today seem bent upon realizing the fullest equality with men. They are not only willing but eager to accept the responsibilities that equality imposes, It is in keep ing with this tndency of the times that women prefer to pay their own way. The mannerly man never in- sists on paying when a woman indi- cates by word or gesture that she prefers herself to pay.
 Who Pays
 1--A woman meeting male ac- quaintance or friend on the street car, ferry or other low-priced public conveyance properly permits him to pay both fares, if he offers.
 "A woman chancing to meet man in the depot, when she is about to purchase reading matter, candy or some other trifle, pays for it herself.
 3-A woman meeting a man on the train pays all her own expenses, in- tips, except that she may be his guest in the diner for not more than one meal.

 felt Grace Draper stiffen tightly against me at the, big mans query, Then she bent over me, her malicious eyes close to me.
 How about 1t. sweetheart?" she said. You're a woman of your word. Win you give your word of honor not to attempt to get away or to say anything while we arc changing cars in Tony's garage if we, unwrap you and take out the gag?" tt
 My first impulse was to nod an as- sent. Then argued that if for any reason she desired me to appear a free-will passenger in the gray finn cuisine 1t would be good policy for me to thwart her. There was no possibility of my getting away from my captors if the garage was run by member of the underworld, as their manner of speech seemed to indicate, but there might be a chance--my brain began to revolve certain pos- abilities as I gave my bound head a decided shake.
 Her face darkened malevolently.
 Going to be troublesome, are your" she snarled. Thanks be, we're not so far now. And when once get you where it's safe--''
 She broke off abruptly as the car turned away from the road and rolled into the wide open doors of a big garage.

 A Strange Insistcncc
 swarthy, undersized man with face by no means unpleasing, and pair of bright black eyes, came for ward as George brought the gray limousine to a stop. With a cunning born of desperation, but with no hope of help, sent my eyes-the only part of me left uncovered-in rowing search of the garage.
 At the side nearest me there was partitioned-off coop--it deserved no better name-evidently used for an of- flee of sorts. There was vague inn pression in my mind that tall man had hurriedly entered the coop when we drove in, and as Tony began speaking, distinctly saw the door Of the coop open stealthily,' and remain open. with, however, only a tiny crack showing.
 There came over me the stranges, feeling, an insistence that I must watch that crack, that in some way the actions of the person behind it | were potentiality in my fate. wheth- CT for good or evil I could not tell

 He spoke casually, off-hand, but I guessed he had beckoned Tony nearer. and realized that the two had ex- changed a swift, low colloquy. Then Tony lifted his voice, and shouted or ders in some unintelligible dialect to his two helpers.

 The General made no reply. He looked very uneasy. as he placed him self behind Aunt Gussie Goose. who was bigger than he was,
 Nobody else would tell what the General had said, The geese wanted to protect General Gander. And the turkeys were all displeased with Tur- key Proudfoot for getting them ur so early in the morning.
 Turkey Proudfoot glared at his two fiocks. It was lucky for them that Farmer Green soon fed them, Tur- key Proudfoot was always better na- tured after hearty meal.
 As soon as he had eaten. he made joke, at which hc laughed holster ously. General Gander laughed too. And that pleased Turkey Proudfoot. But then the General made q mistake. He slapped Turkey Proudfoot on the back. HHa,y 7 sir! How dare you?" cried Turkey Proudfoot. drawing himself up as tall as possible and glaring at General Gander
 At that moment Grandma Goose came waddling up with her twelve goslings.
 What's the trouble?" she asked.
 "He struck me-" said Turkey Proudfoot, eyeing the General angrily.
 "Good!" said Grandma Goose. T didn't think he had courage enough to do that"
 T didn't strike him." the General explained. 'I only slapped him on the back, because he made joke"
 Don't do it again." Turkey Proud- foot warned him. T consider it in very poor taste"
 Well, it was very poor joke" General Gander retorted. Copyright, 1923, by Metropolitan

 Dear, Dear Sally:

 spent the evening with Bee the other night and she told me that you and your young husband seem to be perfectly happy. Of course I cannot understand, dear, your fetish which you call the economic Independence of women," and was quite mortified when Bee told me that you intended to keep your position as private sec retary for MT. Sampson. after you were married, although your hus- band was perfectly able to care for you adequately on his salary.
 Indeed, Sally dear, think that Mir Atherton is getting quite as much money as is Jack, and we are not only planning on making quite a home, but of entertaining a little as well. s
 Bee tells me that you also were very unconventional in your we'd ding arrangements. That with the exception of herself, no one was present at the ceremony, which was merely a civil service at the city hall immediately after the license had been obtained.
 I was quite surprised the other day to find that my young sister, Alice, seemed to have been vaccin- ated with the same radical idea in regard to marriage and married life.
 I am so very tired with all this hubbub and hustle over my own mar riage, that I am almost ready to symp pathize with both of you. How ever, you know mother, and you know she never would be happy un- less she made all Sharon society sit up and take notice of the marriage of her oldest daughter. Besides, I have heard many an old married woman tell with great joy of the pomp of her wedding. Mother has ceased never to bewail the fact that her marriage was an elopemsnt.
 am going to tell you something, Sally dear, that I have not dared to mention to anyone else. It does, seem rather incongruous to have twenty thousand dollar wedding among which there are

VIRGINIA BRADFORD CLINICS TO BABY AND HER WEDDING
 DuNC, Tnn
BY VIRGINIA BRADFORD.


 Hollywood, March 24.-Make-up for the screen is quite different from the war paint you don fo. your best beau back home. The cameras eye is more critical.
 The movie novice learns the art from some kindly extra girl or in one of the numerous schools of acting" which fatten on beginners in and about Hollywood.
 I learned in a school. An adver- tisement for Types wanted. big pro- duction starting," had taken me to dilapidated old studio building where I was confronted by man who asked. Are you interested in the movies?"
 Well" feigning lofty indifference. 'if the movies are interested in me" one of those silly remarks every beginner blushes for.
 "Know how to use makeup? No? Youll have to learn that. It's very important. There are places that teach it.
 School for Acting.
 A few days later I met him again as an instructor in place advertised a.as a school of acting We mutually avoided recognition of previous en- counter.
 When I had explained to the man in charge that couldn't afford to spend any money for course, he urged me to attend the makeup class anyway, telling me what articles to purchase.
 ored grease paint, can of powder. a jar of cold cream. liners, powder puff. a mirror and two towels.
 I was seated at long table, to- gether with some 90. other men, wom- en and children, while the instructor, attired in smock and squinting pro- fessionally, made up half of every ones face. Then we were told to complete the job.
 Afterward we made up the full face under. his supervision. This lasted an hour when another group took our places. On Sundays the students were given rehearsals and had still pictures made at certain studios. was told.

 He gave her a short nod; then be- gan to give orders to the flock.
 He found it no easy task to make them understand that he wanted them to join the waiting turkeys under the trees. General Gander told him that he oughtn't to gobble his orders, but hiss them
 "Silence!" Turkey Proudfoot bel lowed at him, Not another word from you. sir! You will walk ahead of me. I want to keep my eye on you. The geese will walk behind me-"
 So they arrived under the trees And while they fingered there, waiting for their breakfast, General Gander went about among the turkeys, ask ing them if they had noticed how he led Turkey Proudfoot and the geese

number of things I know I never shall need as the wife of compara- lively poor man, and then have to live on almost as little as l had spent up to that time as my per sonal allowance.
 Dad has been very stubborn about settling an income on me. I think he wants to try us out.
 Some day perhaps I may be hock- ing my rose point wedding veil. (Mother says she bought it for me that I might pass it on to my chill dren and children's children.) Pri- vately, I think mother is starting in the ancestor business herself. You know Johns family is strong in an- cestors and poor old dad would have to have a ton of pig iron rampant as part of his coat of arms. I do not think he ever knew either his father or mother. He was brought up in an orphanage.
 Bee tells me that your married life is to be as thoroughly modern as your wedding was, that each one of you will put his share into the liv- ing expenses and each one of you will live the same life as you did be- fore except that you will have the joy of each others companionship and love.
 That sounds perfectly lovely in theory, Sally, but what if you should want to enjoy your husbands com pany some evening at the theater and he should want to go and play poker with some of his friends; what would happen? It seems to me that right then and there would come a rift in the lute."
 Personally, I am inclined to think that, after all, am an old-fashioned bride.
 I just want to belong to John. I like to have him say. well do so and so tomorrow or this evening or next week." without waiting to ask me if I would care to do it. Perhaps I'll change after I'm married, but now it seems as though the sweetest reality that ever has come to me is the fact that belong to John.
 Let's keep up our correspondence, | dear Sally. and compare notes after I'm married. think it will be great fun, don't you? Sorry you are not able to come to my wedding.

Rochester, N.

Wash basins were provid- ed and the girl pupils quickly re- moved the rouge and other colorings from their otherwise handsome faces.
 The incident followed a visit to Madison High school by Miss F. c. Clark, girls advisor and Miss Bea- trice Post.
