CHICAGO. March 15.-"The mod,
ern woman-there is no such ami
mall" calmly states Edith Franklin
Wyatt, Chicago novelist, whose lat
est book, 1.-THE Invisible Gods Is
causing much comment.
"Woman's occupation and way OF
living" Miss Wyatt explains, may
change: she never does.
ITO hear many people talk, we'd
be forced to conclude an entirely
new species OF woman has been
evolved.
No Real Change
'True, woman formerly limited
her activities 10 the home; nov
economic conditions and modern
standards have forced her into bust
ness. Conditions have changed, not
individuals.
For instance, we've always haC
some version of the 'vamp.'
In the nineties she frizzed her
hair, chewed gum, wore famboyant
clothes: today she pulls her han
back, sticks to dark clothes, smokes
cigarets.
But she's the same girl.
Same Types Always
"We've had 'lappers' always, but
they haven't always bobbed their
hair and worn short skirts.
You can't find a type today that
hadn't it's counterpart in TutankR-
amen's time.
The average woma always has
devoted her life to caring for others
children, old people or a husband.
No amount of labor-saving devices
or of advanced thinking have light
ened her real burden"
Ewes Problem, Too
Every woman's problem, Miss
Wyatt believes, is the adjustment of
her life to the demands made upon
it. She must calculate Just how
much of her time belongs to others,
how much to herself, how much to
pleasure, how much to human ser
vice. It was Ewes problem, too, she
holds.
"And the successful and happy
woman" she adds, els the one whose
sense of value leads her to the cor
rect solution"

M ASTROLOGIST
SEES FASHIONS IN starr

In these days of changing colors,
varying hens and shifting waist
lines, it seems to most women as
If a sixth sense were necessary to
foresee, with any degree of accuracy
what styles are going to develop in
the course of six months.
Laurel Miller, however, says she
can see what's in store for us during
the next four decades.
She sees it written in the stars.
Miss Miller's an astrologist.
Two New Stars
She has written books and lee
tured extensively on astro-psychoi-
ogy. Recently she distinguished her
self by discovering two new stars
which were just making their debut
in distant space.
"At present" she says, "we're
under the Influence of stars whose
position makes them dictate our af-
fairs trend for the coming 40 years.
These stars are causing us to I'M
cover all obscure things and to dig
deep into the earth for hidden treas.

Mrs. Durkee


There was stark fear in Alfred

forced 1t 10 a steady, unemotional
monotone. But it was plain that he
wished us with him when DR.. Braith-
waite should give his decision, so Har-
riet and | hurried into the living room
after him. arriving Just as my broth
er-in-law came in from the hall.
The surgeons face was a nimpas-
sive mask, but as his keen eyes
swept our group and fell upon Leila's
twitching face he smiled cheerily,
while l found myself wondering If
the smile were not as deliberate and
effectusI a concealment Of the real
truth as the professional seriousness.
Things aren't nearly as bad as
they might be- he said with an in
tonation that conveyed great deal
more hope than his words, closely
enalysed. would show. And now, if
you women will kindly clear out OF

and humorous twinkle in his eye,
I'VE great masculine minds will nave

His eyes met those of his wife, and
! was sure that by some secret code
OF their own he had telegraphed a
message to her. As we went into
the hall. Leila said chokingiy;
Excuse me a minute, please. I'll
be down again directly"

She fed up the stairs and the clos
ing of her door told me that she had
taken refuge in her room. Harriet
drew me into tho library and closed
the door.

Because Edwin is going TO oper-

any words in giving his decisions,
