LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO LESLIE PRES
COLT, CONTINUED

You can see, dear little Marquise,
that I had started something. 1 did
not really intend to bring things to
showdown until I had consulted
Jack. but having already brought it
about, was not going to back down.
Miss Bradford had already begun
10 put on her wraps.
/ really felt sorry for Mrs. Pres
colt. AL at once she seemed to
have grown shrunken and old. She
looked from Priscilla to me in con-
ssternation.
l knew that she did not want to
break with me on account of John,
but l knew she loved Priscilla All
at once 1 understood that here was
a girl of the same temperament, the
same mid-Victorian ideas, who had
been very kind to her for years 1t
was perfectly natural that she should
have wanted her to marry her son.
1t was not queer at all that she re-
scented me, a stranger.
Fortunately I remembered there
was a train which, although it did
not stop at our little town. stopped
in the city where Karl was going
and this train would take me back
to Albany by noon the next day.
The thing to do now, however, was
to make Mrs. Prescott understand
that 1 was not leaving her in anger.
So I turned to Miss Bradford and
said, IT really think it is better for
you TO stay with Mother Prescott
it was the first time I had called her
mother" Although the word al
most came to my lips inadvertently,
because I felt a sudden pity for her
loneliness, the lighting up of Johns
mothers face showed me that my
not doing so up until this time had
really hurt her. was not wholly in
the right.
Poor Karl, who had been standing
IN absolute and abject misery and
embarrassment during all this con-
same thought had come into his
mind
Tiff" he began uncertainty.
1t was then that Mrs. Prescott's
breeding showed itself. For. what
ever may be the old-fashioned ideas
o. the New Highlander. they still have
a certain kind of hospitality which
must be shown upon all occasions.
Mother Prescott came forward as
though she had not seen Mr. Whit
ney before. with extended hand and
smiling face.
MY dear Mr.. Whitney, you have
made very opportune call. I am
sure my daughter Leslie was trying
to think Just how she would be able
to get to the next town in time to
make that train. She seems deter
mined to be in Albany tomorrow.

leave, but in talking with her hus-
hand. my son this afternoon. It de-
veloped that he was very lonely with

Woman s Exposition to Be
milestone of PROGRESS
BY MARIAN HALE
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK. July Am ex-
- position showing the activi-
ties of women in every State
in the Union is now being planned
and engineered by a woman, Mira
Elizabeth Sears.
Her idea. however. is something
far broader than merely CONNER
cial exhibition of the textiles, ma
chinery, electrical appliances and
artistic efforts of women, though
these will all be represented.
My aim is to make this a real
milestone of progress" she explains.
"a vision of what women can 40
complish in any field and what they
can do to instil ideals of business
integrity in the younger genera
ton.
Women had to go out Of homo
to go into business and the profess
sions, but they took with them the
spirit of their homes. They've hui
manized business and stamped their
own achievements with their par
ticular personalities. The world is
going to be surprised at what they
have done~
when it was suggested to me that
such an exhibition as we are plan
ming had never been managed before
by a woman. thought 1t would be
a very good time for a woman to
break into it, and make this an all
woman enterprise.
I'VE are accepting exhibitions and
selling space only to firms run by
women, or those with women ex-
ecutives in important positions. My
end of the work Is pure pleasure
because business women are the
easiest people in the world to get
along with. If every one were only
as square as the business womang'
The exhibition will be held in New
York at the Commodore Hotel. the
week of Sept. "a. 1t is under the
auspices of the League Of Business
and Professional Women, with
branches in all parts of the United

and the accessories are almost as
important.
However, the negligee is one gar
ment that may be quite safely made
at home and attempted by the anna

question of fitting, and patterns
may be followed without alteration.
One of the simplest ways to

Pink, blue or orchid is a good color

Over this you need only slip

with a loose ribbon girdle and

There Is the possibility Of many
charming combinations of colored
slips and fancy over-tunics.
Another easy garment to make is
the one of satin with angel sleeves
of lace, dyed to match the satin, or
natural, colored. or Of gold or silver
mesh.
The printed materials of this sea-
son are most attractive for negn-
gees and require practically no trim

One of the most gorgeous models
is a close fitting undersdp Of silver
cloth georgette crepe outlined at
the neck and flowing sleeves with
ostrich fringe.
Braided satin ribbons are effec-
lively used for girdles and so are
silver and gold ribbons with flowers

Salads Are Refreshing and
Depend Largely on
Seasoning.
Seasoning,
BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
Of Columbia University


G6TO remember a good dinner
Is to remember a good
salad" some one has said.
What are the qualities which
go to the making of such a salad?
One rule is that all the salad plants
or vegetables used must be crisp,
fresh and cold
For a dinner salad French
dressing should be used, never a
mayonnaise, unless it be a simple
dinner and the salad is to be served
as a separate course. A salad OF
cucumbers, tomatoes or plain let
tuce is much more appetizing if
served with the meat or fish.
Probably all salads depend more
on the seasonings than on any
thing else. Three measures Of oil
and one measure Of vinegar or
lemon Juice is a good proportion
for the average taste. For season
ings, salt, pepper. mustard. paprika.
sugar and a little onion, if the
dressing is to be used on Vegetables
or plain salad plants. A Glove or
bean Of garlic left in the dressing
for several hours and removed be-
fore the dressing is served gives a
flavor much to be desired.
Fruit Suggestions
For fruit salads omit the onion
and mustard. Very good combina-
lions Of fruit and vegetables may
be made, such as tomatoes and pine
rNafr1tit t%aI-
cry and apple, peaches and beets.
Sandwiches are rapidly growing in
favor for lunch or supper, and are
made sufficiently hearty to serve
as a main course. A meat sand
witch and vegetable salad,
with a sweet or some fruit or des-
sert, make a satisfactory meal.
Slices of cheese, cold chicken,
ham or pork may be the thing.
Then toast the sandwich quickly
and serve on a plate with pickles,
olives or a lettuce, tomato or Gu
cumber salad.
Combinations
Cold corned beef and cole-slaw,
cold tongue and sliced tomatoes,
cold pork and sliced onions. all
make excellent sandwiches.
The chopped cabbage may be
mixed with mayonnaise or cooked
dressing and the tomatoes dipped
in French dressing, If ons does not
care for the mayonnaise.
Instead of toasting the sandwich.
occasionally fry it in butter, just
enough to give a golden brown
color.
For mixers" a sandwich made
OF cold baked beans. mashed and
seasoned with ketchup or chill
sauce, with sliced pickles. between
buttered brown bread slices, is one
which will stand by"

NEW YORK, July 3.-Let the
N girls Of the East look to their
- Y Iaurels!
The latest report is that the girls
of the far West exceeded all others
in enterprise, pep and ability to get
ahead.
Anna NJ. Clark has just spent ten
months making a survey of the
working women of the country and
has found this to be true.
There's none of the 'What-shall-
I-do-now?' spirit on the part of the
Western woman" she says. Long
before girls finish school they de-
termine definitely what they want
to do with their lives and start
training for it.
1.-THE Western girls don't look
upon society as career; they want
to do something for others as we'll
as themselves.
Earn Own Way
"In a lumber camp I met a girl
waiting on table to earn her way to-
ward 1octor's degree. She said
she wanted to be a doctor because
then she could do much more to
help the ignorant mothers of the
country.
Another girl who had already re-
ceived her degree from normal
school was going to State university
to study rural leadership and archi-
lecture She wanted to be the we'll
prepared type of rural school teach
err that the isolated community
needs"
And so Miss Clark says she found
girls everywhere, planning to teach,
do social work or go into profess
sions with the definite ideal Of serv-
ing the communities in which they
live.
She found that the Western girl
