SAYS UNMARRIED
WOMAN SHOULD
WRITE IT MRS.
Artist Says 1t Does Away
With Being Called
Old Maid

NEW YORK, May 26.-Unmar-
ried women of all civilized coun-
tries should assume the title of
Mrs" on reaching the age Of 81,
according to Miss Estelle e.
Scheyer, painter and sculptor, who
arrived here on the Deutschland
yesterday. BY using the prefix
they would escape such disagree
able titles as "old maid and
bachelor GIRL" she says.
Miss Scheyer was registered on
the sailing list as Mrs" because
she believes single women avoid
much embarrassment and annoy
ance by this practice. She asserts
that many of her sex would pre-
fer abstract rather than concrete
husbands.
In a series of lectures she will
deliver at Smith college, Miss
Scheyer intends to teach that man
alone is gifted with the genius to
do creative work. Women can give
expression through men, and
though there are thousands of
women who have talent superior to
that of men, they cannot express
that talent themselves, she con-
tends.

according to the warning of the elderly
DR.. Lapierre. The beautiful and inno-
cent girl of gentle birth has lived in
poverty and is the sole support of an
invalid sister. Elise had become maid
to Lolette, famous dancer, who through

instead set her up as rival in popular
favor. Elise, now the famous La Pha-
lene, finds safety in the number of her
suitors, who include ker manager,
Maurice Brunei; Count Mordac, Dona.
tell and Ahmed, an Arab prince. She
thinks most of Tom Kendrick, a young
American whom she met in her days
of poverty. Kendrick returns and seeks
news of Elise from Lolette Ahmed
and Donatelli quarrel over her. Elise
attempts to avert their duel. She APP
peals to Ahmed. Mordac, at Lolette's
instigation, agrees to mislead Elise as
to the time of the duel, which is to be
fought with dice, the loser drinking
poison.

WAGES OF SIN ARE
PUBLICITY, SAYS
Lee IN ADDRESS
Clergymen And Others
Cannot Expect To
Get Immunity

NEW YORK, May 26.-"I hope 1
never shall see time when the news
papers do not give front page space to
the clergyman or Sunday school super
intendent who goes wrong. If such &C.
currences were noticed only to the ex-
tent of few lines, it would mean they
were not unusual"
So said Prof. James Melvin Lee
head of the New York University
School of Journalism, in an address last
night in the Harlem Reformed church,
Lexos avenue and 123d street. His
topic was The Church and the News
paper"
Pursuing his analysis of criticisms,
he said sometimes are made by church
members, he pointed out that the con-
spicuous space often given by news
papers to moral derelictions of church
men actually is tribute to the church
as a whole.
Remember" he continued, ''the
newspaper gives the unusual things
the things, in other words, that have
news value"
Another charge commonly brought
against newspapers, he said, is mac
euracy.
But" he declared, recently, in the
article on newspapers in the Encyclo-
paedia Britannica, counted more than
100 errors of fact! That article was
written not, as newspaper articles nee
essarily must be, in an hour or two,
but with ample time at the disposal of
the writer.
81 would not excuse inaccuracy, but,
considering the exigencies, the difficult
ties and the haste attending the prepare
ton of newspaper, the wonder is that
inaccuracies are not more frequent.
One great editor, he said, had three
tests for news: Is it true? Is it kind?
If not kind, is it necessary for the pub
lie good?
Tracing the origin and history of
the newspaper, Professor Lee said free
dom of the press came into being about
the same time as freedom of religious
worship.
"And it has come to be true" he
said, that the wages of sin are pub
licity."
Taking the newspapers of the coun-
try as a whole, he concluded, he be-
lieved they are giving their readers
papers a little better than those read
ers want,

posedly, sufficient wine for the winner
and myself to toast the loser, and yet
leave enough for the loser to take his
last drink. Ready"
They nodded. There was no need
now for his imposition of silence.
Neither Of them could have spoken a
word.
Ahmeds band was now trembling,
and the dice jumped as they struck
the board, jumped and flickered and
rolled. Yet they stayed on the che
quers and came to a standstill.
Three skies!
There was the suspicion of a smile
about his lips. 1t was as good as vic
tory.
Ahmed, staring at the dice, heard
Felice's breath come in long, indrawn
hiss, and looked up.
Mordac gathered the dice gravely
and handed the shaker to him. Ahmed
sat back.
Felice threw. All three of them
watched the dice as they trickled
across the board.
One stopped--a three!
1t was defeat. The second stopped
"a four
The third rolled on and dropped off
the board.
Mother of Godw
Felice breathed it, despite Mordac's
injunction.
Another throw, signor," said Nor
dac quietly.
Felice almost snatched the, shaker
from Mordacs hand.
He ratified and threw.
And with that throw something told
Ahmed that he was going to lose. 1t
came down on him suddenly like a
cloak of despair. He watched the dice,
almost without seeing them.
Three aces!' said Mordac, quietly.
"Signor Donatelli, l declare you to be
the winner" And added Dun nom (!
it is almost a miracle"
Felice got to his feet. He was very
silent, though his lips were moving.
And Ahmed sat and looked at the
dice.
He was now the principal figure in
this little tragedy. 1t was for him to
move.
Somehow he bowed to both of them
"Messieurs," he said, 81 will wish
you a very good morning"
Felice choked. There were tears in
his eyes. All that was good in him
rushed suddenly to the surface. He
stepped forward impulsively, his hand
outstretched
"Signor! IL" He stopped; then
pblundered on. you have my apologies.
For all that have said and done, for
everything, crave your pardon. 1t
shall be my lifelong regret that 1 in
suited so brave a man."
Ahmed took his hand. Thank you,
monsieur"
Felice added: II shall go away from
Paris-today."
And Ahmed knew, from that, that
Felice was telling him La Phalene was
free Of him.
For that also / thank you" He
turned to Mordac. Monsieur, I would
compliment you upon your conduct of
this affair, and / would like to ex-
press my gratitude to you for attend
ing this morning. Goodbye"
with your permission, monsieur"

CHAPTER 4s-A THROW WITH
DEATH

A HMED would have dispensed with
~ the preliminary throw, but both
Felice and Bordac insisted on it.
Ahmed gathered the dice and dropped
them into the ivory receptacle. His
hands and his brain were extraordi-
naril ysteady.
He threw. Three sixesl
Felice smiled. "An omen! In the
preliminary he throws all but the tor
scorew
Mordac broke in. "Signor, / forgot
in my explanation, that 1 insist upon
silence during the match"
II apologize"
Felice gathered the dice and threw
them. They showed deuce, a four
and a six.
Ahmed had won the right to throw
first.
Now Mordac took a hand. He took
up the dice himself, placed them in the
shaker, and handed it to Ahmed.
Il shall do this for each throw" he
said. "Messieurs, the game will open. "
Ahmed threw, and the little white
board. Two of them stopped-aces
The third trickled to the edge and
dropped off to the grass.
Mordac gestured. Unfortunate, mon
sieur. Again"
This time all the dice stayed on the
board. There were two skies and a
three.
Felice Strengthened himself. He
shook and threw. They stayed on the
board, Though one strayed periously
close to the edge.
There were two fours and an ace.
Ahmed had won the first game.
Ahmed found himself breathing
deeply. Felice was smiling, but the
smile was mirthless.
There are two glasses here, mes
sieurs," said Mordac, "and a great
deal more champagne in the bottle.
May offer you some refreshments"
Ahmed shook his head. He could not
speak.
Felice swallowed the cup of wine at
draught.
Mordac gathered the dice.
Second game" He handed the sha-
ker to Ahmed.
A bad throw-a five, a three and a
deuce.
Then Felice. Two deuces and a
four.
Felice had scraped through the Sec
ond game with the tiniest margin in
hand.
They were equal, with the last game
before them-the game on which hung
life and death.
You will still take no refreshment,
monsieur" asked Mordac of Ahmed.
Again Ahmed shook his head.
But Felice accepted another cup.
There is now" said Mordac COM

NOT DISCREDITED
POINCARE CLAIMS
Foreign Policies Safe Despite
Election, He Asserts

BAR LIE DUG, France, May 26.-The
result of the recent French election in
no way disavowed the foreign policies of
the outgoing government, Premier Poin-
care declared here today in an address
which it is believed will be his last pub
lie utterance as head of the cabinet.
The premier said he remained convinced
that his successors would change moth
ing with respect to the foreign policies
of his government. The defeat of the
national bloc, he declared, was due in
large measure to obscurities in the
method of voting.

can only be determined By trying on
various types of collars to find out
which one the wearer looks best in,
The four-in-hand cravat shown is one
of those printed English foulards which
are notably well suited to summer wear
because they are both cool and cool
looking. The spots are wildly colored
against band of the collar otherwise,

the button is left exposed to view.
Summer cravats are rather narrow in
shape; no pin is worn; no fastener
should be visible. As fashion leans to-
ward the brightest effects, you may 20
as you please and yet please as you 60.

There is another fellow who is much to blame
for the drunken driver, and that is the fellow
who is selling him the stuff. This is not
new offence against the law, but he continues
to be slippery offender. His greater aid in
getting away with it is the fact that some OIL
Gals do not think that the great mass OF peo-
pie want the law enforced. The backs of some
of the officials might be stiffened if people who
believe in the law and its enforcement would
go to these law officials and tell them few
things. 1t might be well to use few harsh
words, and if some of the officials get mad
enough they may get active and do something
Federal officials are said to have at last
found out that the law is being violated with
inlpunity in Kenosha county, and it is said that
the active gathering Of evidence has brought
enough evidence to close up a half dozen places
in the county and have the doors nailed shut.
1t will be interesting to see just how efec-
tive the federal agents work, and if they really
get results their work may serve as an example
and spur to local officials.

Fables On Health

Keeping the hair clean and the scalp
in good condition during the dusty, hot
summer days was duty to which Mrs.
Mann of sAnytown applied herself,
particularly where the children were
concerned.
Just how appreciative the hair is
of a good shampoo is shown by its
gloss and soft, fluffy look after the
shampoo has been applied.
Use clean brushes and don't be
afraid of frequent washes so that dust
may be thoroughly removed. Once a
week is not to often.
In cleansing the scalp use hot water
and make good thick suds with tar
soap, or any good shampoo soap; use
a nail brush in securing it, than rinse
with several baths of water, the tenn
perature of which should be gradually
cooled.
Give the head a first rubbing with
hard thick, Turkish towel. Other
rubbings can follow with ordinary hand
towels. Women often find it helpful to
warm the towels before using, as this
will dry the. hair more quickly.

1t is interesting to note that the drunken

IN Kenosha now and that court penalties
are being assessed little more in keeping with
the menace he is to the community.
When a man who wants to get drunk and
drive motor car on the same day finds out
that he may be in jail by night it will help
considerably And when he has convincing evi-
deAce that lie is going to be in iail-he takes
these cfances-it will help a lot more. Progress

French, scientists are making the
appearance of little book of poems
by Pierre de Regnier the treme for
learned disquisitions upon inherited
powers and abilities.
For the young mans maternal
grandfather was Heredia, Cuban Of
mixed French and Spanish blood, who
became one of the greatest of French
sonnet writers.
The young mans mother, who writes
under the name of Gerard d. Houville,
is one of the best of living women

father Henry de Regnier-is classic
both as a writer of novels and tales
and as a poet.
And to keep up the family grip
on things, Papa de Regnier, in his

grave piece about Sonny de Regnier's
poems. ~
