forward to long talks and sisterly conf
dences with Edith's arrival, but she hadn
been in the house ten minutes When real

She was a product of the new girlhood,

no Youthful enthusiasms and serenity
that seemed unnatural
told her about the dinner party Tor
that evening Herbert Livingston is COM
ing; you never met him, did you?" I asked
And then with a little laugh, I went on
quickly: 'T hope you won't think him too
old and stodgy to be amusing. don't
know many of the younger set, but III
have to cultivate some of them now that
you're here"
"How old is he?" Edith asked with
Ianguid wave of her cigarette. And when
I responded with the news that he was
thirty-five or so, she laughed amusedly.
college boys don't amuse me, Joan.
But tell me, how is Norman, as impress
sionable as ever or are you keeping him
in order?"
Her words were cool almost to the point
of calIousness, and I was hurt more than
I cared to admit She must have seen
from my face that she had hurt me, for
she fastened on. 81 hope you're not bank
ing on sentiment and the ties of marriage
to hold Norman, Joan. There's no need
of your pulling a long face and looking
wounded to the soul because l said that
Norman was impressionable. Everyone
knows that he has reputation for being
a fIrt.''
I said nothing, and without giving a
sign that she noticed my silence, she
changed the subject and asked who else
was coming to dinner.
I told her in brief about the Benedicts
and again that queer enigmatic smile play
ed about her lips. mot exactly your Sort

man thinks he is attracted to Mrs Bene-
dict men often fall for queer types"
+ "She isn't queer; she's attractive"
burst out.
But l. can tell from the way you talk
of her that you're not quite easy in your
own mind about her. Edith retorted And
again I felt the uncanniness of her per-
ception, as I sat there tongue-ted and I'M
able to defend myself.
At that moment Mary knocked at the
door with the information that Edith's
trunk had just arrived from the station
I was thankful for the interruption for

THE WIFE CHEATER
New Romance
BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

Joan Stockbridge marries Norman
Wayne in spite of many warnings from
her friends. She chooses him in prefer
ence to Herbert Livingston, man who
loves her devotedly, but who lacks Nor
mans charm. Norman is the kind of a
man who has never been known to care
for one woman more than =. few weeks
at time, and shortly after their mar
riage, Norman becomes infatuated with
Alice Wilson, mutual friend. This is fol-
lowed by the advent of Mrs. Benedict,
the wife of an artist and Joan realizes
that she is living constantly over vol
cano that may someday engulf her. Just
at this time Herbert Livington moves
out to Hilton, where the Waynes are
living and plans are made for Joan's
visit.

THE POWER IN US
BY H. Addington, Bruce


"OR years he had been tormented by
n distressing heart symptoms. He was
convinced, as was his relatives, that
he was afflicted with some incurable or
ganic disease of the heart. AS conse-
ouence he evaded exhausting duties. lie
chose for his occupation clerical work of
light sort
Yet he was ambitious to make Roadway
in the world. In particular he longed 10
win distinction as an author. His evenings
were given to reading and to the practlce
of writtng-though, to be sure, because of
his chronic run-downO condition, he could
write only little at time.
This was the situation when, in his thir-
ties, he fortunately made the acquaintance
of medical psychologist. The latter study
ing his case, began soon to suspect that
the heart troubles, which were undeniably
present were due not much to organic
defect as to Overattention to the manner
in which the heart worked.
"Any organ" as he explained to his
friend and patient, twill work badly if one
keeps watching it all. the time
Also he explained how undue preoccupa-
ton with the state of ones health disturbs
the organism in general, and in addition
''short circuits energy which might and
should be usefully employed, Then he be-
signed primarily to establish a new and less
self-centered life attitude.
The result was astonishing even to the
psychologist himself AS he describes it in
a recently published bOok-W. ]. Fielding s

I left her alone with parting admon1-

CLOTHES
TO BE CONTINUED
By DR.. Frank Crane


There is a profound difference between the
female clothes sense and that of the male.
To speak in psychological lingo, the clothes
complex of the woman is entirely different
from that of the man.
Succinctly stated that difference may be
said to be this: that the desire of the man
is to be unconscious of his clothes and the
desire of the woman Is to be consciou OF her
clothes.
In other words, the man is best contented
when he never thinks of what he is wearing,
and the woman when she is actually aware
of what she has on.
The man does not care, the woman does
care And that is the difference.
That is the underlying difference why
styles in womens clothes change so often.
They change because just as soon as women
get used to one style they lose the feeling
of it and want another, and new one.
When man says that one should dress
sensbly he does not mean at all the same
thing which a woman means when she uses
the same terms. The man means that he
does not want to wear clothes that bother
him and make him think of them. The
woman means that she wants to wear clothes
that do make her think of them.
Hence the general style in women's clothes
changes radically about once in generation,
sometimes oftener. Looking at old prints we
see that at one period women wore immense
hoops so that their dress was tightly con-
tracted at the waist and expanded to an
enormous circle at the foot. After that came
those curious contraptions known as filters,
which were a kind of wire basket which
pushed the skirt out behind but left it close
fitting in front
From being expanded like a balloon the
skirt afterwards was contracted to fit like
a sausage skin, so that walking was very
difficult and sitting down was an acrobatic
feat.
Then came those amazing things called
bustles; and sleeves were enormously puffed
up at the shoulders and were alternately in
time close fitting at the wrist and loose flow
ing.
Every once in a while there is a so-called
reform in wonian's dress. She discards her
corsets and wears loose fitting garments and
everybody thinks that woman is about to
emancipate herself from the tyranny Of
fashion
But, alas, it is deluson. All that IL means
to woman is change. And the pendulum of
style has swung backward and forward since
the fig leaves of Eden.
Each generation looks with amaZement at
the styles Of the preceding.
"Do you think" says a recent writer
quoting the Boulevardier, chat Josephine
and her ladies in their charmingy simple
frocks of the First Empire did not laugh
themselves to tears over the old-fashioned
plates of the eighteenth century with their
seemingly impossible hoops and farthingales?
But none the less the very next generation
produced the even more ridiculous crnoline
and that strange deformity, the bustle.'
The truth is that any sort of style is well
come to a woman, even the physical discom-
fort of tight lacing or the nuisance of a long
train, provided that it is a sensation Of
novelty.

speech of Secretary Hughes that
the administration proposes an
attempt to take the reparation settle
ment out of politics; in "a word, to
allow a purely economic body to esti-,
mate the German ability to pay, with the gov
ernments affected having the option of ac-
cepting the judgment of this body or not.
There is no doubt whatever that a repara-
ton settlement must precede an economic
adjustment in Europe; and Secretary Hughes
speech is a "tip-off'' of the administrations
plan for first move in the economic re-
Eabilitaton of which the whole world stands
bitterly in need.
AS The New York Tribune observes, what
America can do in the matter is determined
Ly conditions which Mr.. Harding and Mr..
Hughes did not create They took over a GER
tain situation; something must be done with
it. And that situation, with America detached
from her former associates, practically i'm
plies a Europeanized reparation question.
No matter how eager we may be to get rid
of the reparation problem and burden, and no
matter how just and equable solution, from
our viewpoint, we may achieve, we cannot
impose our views on the nations of Europe.
AS Mr. Hughes reasonably remarks:
1--WE cannot consent for them The key
to the settlement is in their hands, not in
ours"
Our part, 1t would seem-for we are
deeply concerned, no matter how limited our
authority-is to offer friendly proposals and
cur cooperation toward ordering the chaos
now existing in Europe.
Our administration has held steadily that
Germany should not be excused from paying
but should pay to the limit of her capacity.
That also is the French view and the Belgian
view Mussolini appears to agree; and Bonar
Law for Great Britain is more disposed t.
that attitude than was Lloyd George.
One stumbling-plock of the problem is,
What can Germany pay? What is the limit of
her ability? No one say absolutely. Ger
many never has shown any real willingness
to pay anything and lobody yet has laid
firm hand on her cellar and endeavored to
shake her down" Without employing this
method, which is sure tc arouse the slumber-'
ing jealousies within the Entente, it appears
that political consultation is unlikely to
achieve results.
The Harding-Hughes plal- if We under
stand it Alright, will give Europe the last
word, as it ought to do. But there seems no
doubt that any conclusion, fortified by ex-
pert economic knowledge and investigations
would not lack a powerful moral effect 1t
might even overbear the imaginations and
some of the prejudices of the politicians
II this indeed is to be the administrations
first move, it is practical and persuasive And
it will require some plan rich in both these
! qualities to go far toward a reparation solu-
ion,

Short Shrift
BY BERTON ,BRALEY
" you ask me why I ever roam
Y Upon the roads unraveling,
Why don't stay content at home
And rest awhile from travelling?
Well, there's vagrant streak in me;
The fates somehow decree it. In
The world there's such lot to see,
So little time to see it in!
vHY do join each sport that's gay
NJ And jump in lightly merrily,
w Whenever there's a chance to
play?
It's plain enough yea verify;
Life is fire that swiftly flames.
It's days-you can't delay them in
Their flight. There are so many games
So little time to play them in!
WHY do snatch at every chance
w To join lifes conflicts clamor-

Why am L avid of romance
And of adventure glamorOus?
