Chapter VII
 I found it hard to talk to Natalie of her indiscretion in giving so much of her time to Ned Church. Her air of innocence, her seeming surprise that should object to her being NICE to one of my friends, confused and em- barrassed me.
 T though you wanted me to like your friends she said, looking at me through half-closed lids.
 Il do--most of them. I should have warned you against Ned, He's inde- fatigable in his pursuit of any woman who arouses his interest for the mo- ment. But he is not at all discrimin- ating, and it isn't as much of compli- ment as it appears when he devotes himself to a new acquaintance"
 "Really-how interesting she drawled ill her most musical tones.
 II only wanted to warn you, dear. People will gossip, you know, and I can't endure that you should be criti- cized.'
 Of course you can, but it isn't wise to antagonize people. And I don t want you to give them even a semblance of an excuse"
 ..In other words. I must be like Cae- sar's wife-above reproach. Yos. should have married an angel, Bruce mere mortal is not good enough for you"
 You are too good for me, darling. 1 haven't ceased wondering yet how came to win you" And forgetting there was such person as Ned Church in the world. I spent the next ten min utes telling her what a wonderful girl she was. But saying nothing of my great love for her.
 A few days later, I came home a bit earlier than usual. Natalie was out. When she returned looking fascinating ly lovely, her eyes shining, face glow ing. 1 asked:
 Where have you been, dear?'
 Il have an ingrained belief that a woman should not be questioned about her comings and goings." She quoted me.
 I felt myself flush. An angry an- swer. suppressed with an effort, rose to my lips.
 But dear" I stammered, "you looked so happy, so-as if you had been enjoying yourself, I couldn't help but be interested
 Curiosity killed the cat, you know" Again quoting, as nonchalantly she re- moved her hat and gloves.
 Dora announced dinner. All through the meal I felt Natalie was under an excitement. Looking furtively at her caught an introspective smile touching her lips, her eyes. She was even gayer than usual, laughing and talking con stantly.

We Women
By BETTY BRAINERD TUT! TUT

A very unusual organization has been formed in Ohio. It is called .The Amalgamated Order of Confirmed Bachelors. It was founded, its or ganizers say, to protect the members from the whims of Leap Year.
 The organization, thus far, has been a success. It has also been very popu- lar. It has branched outsinto number of cities and requests for charters have been coming in regularly.
 The central unit has club rooms but mark this well-women are not bar red. Once a week the doors are opened by way of celebrating Ladies Night
 The order has set of thirteen rules for the guidance of members. They are as follows: ..
 1. No member can escort the same lady twice in one month.
 2. If necessary to escort the same lady home more than once in any one month permit must be secured from the club Secretary.
 8. No Xmember shall remain with any young lady later than Il p. m., on any night except Sunday, when the @me is extended to Il 80 p. m.
 4. No member shall flirt.
 5. No member shall dance more than two dances with any young lady in the same evening.
 6. No member shall attend more than one dance in, any one week.
 z. No member shall sing or whistle any song containing the word love while in the club rooms.
 s. No member shall call on a young lady before 8 D. m.
 9. In using the telephone no mem Der shall talk more than two minutes
 TO- No member shall write more than one letter a month, except to a relative.
 II. Afternoon dates are forbidden.
 12. No member shall exchange photographs with a young lady. 9
 13. For violations of any of the above rules a fine of $1 for each of fense will be imposed. ...
 But I have an idea these rules and regulations will have the same effect as cheese upon mice. Somehow, some where some rules and regulations were made to be broken.

kept her wrapped in cotton WOOL, anu she has never known there was such a thing as work or responsibility or self denial in the world. You may have failed in many other directions in do- ing your full duty, but you can pat yourself on the back and thank God that you have been a good father.
 We'll, let me tell you that if all you have done for your daughter is just to pamper her and spoil her and make her weak and selfish and selfcentered, you have not been good father. You have been the worst sort of father.
 You have never looked upon your daughter as anything but pretty doll to dress up and play with, and dolls cannot take care of themselves in the rough-and-tumble fight of life. Sooner or later they are apt to get broken. good father.
 A good father is man who doesn't look upon his daughter as a toy or a piece of bric-a -brac. but as a human being who has been born with the heavy handicap of the feminine sex upon her. That means that she will always be less strong than boy, less capable of taking care of herself, in far more danger. Fewer opportunities will be open to her, and many more perils be- set her than would boy. Therefore, she needs more protection. She needs to be better trained to deal with the world
 So the good father sees to it that his girl gets the very best education that she will take. Not the flubdub. fluffy ruffles sort, but a solid, practical edu- ca ton that develops whatever gray mat ter she has got in her pretty little head, that teaches her to think and reason and that gives her solid foundation on which to rear her house of life. Then the good father has his daughter taught some profession or trade where by she can earn a living, and he has her follow the occupation for at least year.
 He does this for many reasons. He does it because he knows how easily money is lost. and he wants to know that his daughter has in herself the skill and ability to make her own living if she is ever thrown on her own re sources.
 He does it because he is aware that the knowledge that she can stand on her own feet and earn her own bread and butter and cake gives a girl boise that nothing else in the world can give. He does it because the discipline of a business office, the experience in hand ling money and an insight into the troubles and problems of men are the best preparation that any girl can have for matrimony.
 A good father chums with his daugb ter. He begins being confidential with her in her cradle, and this makes it natural that when she grows up she will discuss with him the boys who come to see her, and that father should be able to form her tastes and assidu- ously guide her in her choice of hus- band.
 Girls know nothing about men. It is impossible that they should, but there is nothing about any young chap that

.ery: Ornate Are New Spring {.
 Shoes
By lANEI MINsLoW

Even shoes that aren't dancing shoes strictly speaking may sometimes dance. And the new spring shoes do fairly dance with bright fantastic ornaments, colorful strappings, and odd little touches that mischievously hop out here and there.'
 Your monogram on your shoes, for instance. Could anything be more adventurous and unexpected than that? The monogram is formed by the twists and turnings of metal in the centre of an oval steel buckle. This is the way in which the heavier and more practical shoes carry out the idea. Dressier satin( or suede shoes have morss delicate buckles of crystal and rhinestones. The whole idea is Parisian and as yet these un- usual shoes have not reached our shores in any great quantity. How ever, since the general march of foot gear is toward the gay and novel, it would not be at all surprising if this whim found a-place among the rest. We have had monograms on blouses, hats and goodly sized ones outlined in ribbons on evening bags. Now, if you feel so inclined you may put them on your shoes.
 In a surprising pair of shoes, black patent leather and soft gold kid are combined. The shoe isn't slashed into the curious cut-out patterns that are so popular. The front portion of the shoe which comes well up over the instep, is in one piece so that the ex- treme combination of shiny black and glittering gold is balanced by the con- servative lines of the shoes shaping. These good looking pumps are being worn with the most digni6ed of black afternoon costumes. They fulfill their purpose in lending the smart, touch of relief which the all-black frock de- mands these days.
 It is rumored that colored shoes will bic for favor next spring. This fad was so much overdone last year that the thought of colored shoes in bright reds and greens is positively distaste- full to some. However, the newest yer- sion of colored shoes seen at the spring showings of advance models is not to be thought of in the same class as the dazzling footgear of last season.
 The colors are soft, subdued, lovely. They give a decidedly pleasing effect. Just for example, saw pair of walk ing pumps made of dark blue antelope and the edges were overcast with thongs of dull raspberry colored leather. The side fastening was laced with the same kind of thongs. Of course, a char acteristic pair of shoes would have to be selected so as to fit perfectly into the color scheme of the costume with which it is to be worn. You should select a shade to match your dress exactly-green with tan lacings, dull rose with blue, and so on. And always with any of these unusual shoes the flesh tinted stockings such as apricot, rosy beige or amber, are best.
