A DISTORTED IMAGE

A book written by someone who gives
no hint of his identity, describing himself
as "a gentleman with a duster," seems
to have come into wide vogue OF late.
1t is entitled mirrors of Downing
Street" and gives intimate sketches and
positive estimates of the character and
tendencies OF various Englishmen OF pub
lie affairs from the standpoint of their
worth to society. The book is notable
contribution to the literature as well
as to the political history of recent Years.
But, somehow, one may get from it the
impression that the author has sought
perfection in men of political affairs,
and. failing to find it, has learned little
OF philosophical importance from his sad
experience.
This impression may be gained par
t;cularly from the duster gentleman
analysis and appraisement of David
Lloyd-George, former prime minister OF
Great, Britain. His major complaint
against the little Welsh statesman-he
would call him a politician, rather
seems to be that he lacks the fiery en-
thusiasm, the wonderful energy. the ir-
resist:ble determination. the fervid man
ner, that marked him as champion OF
the masses in the earlier stages of his
political career.
| Instead OF trumpeting his way to the
van of progressive movements, and
leading the world from despair INTO
hope, and from hope unto achieved
happiness, Mr.. Lloyd-George is now con-
tent, the buster gentleman complains,
to sit in an armchair, with fragrant
cigar and rather common people as his
companions. while affairs of state are
going to pot.
There may be some element of truth
in the, further allegation that Mr.
Lloyd-George's mind is largely that
of politician. 1t may be, too, as
Clemenceau once exclaimed in fiji
OF evaporation, that in relation to some
subjects Mr.. Lloyd George is utterly
ignorant. Nor can one who does rot
know him personally deny with any
degree OF assurance that he prefers the
companionship OF common" people
in the vulgar sense of the quoted word
10 tndt OF hlghlv refined persons. Bu1
here one might invite the buster gen
tleman to consider a bit of philosophy
which he himself quotes from John Nor.
ley, as sort of text, apparently. for
his entire book. The substance of the
quotation is that right and wrong arc
in the nature OF things. rather than il
mere words and phrases. To anybody
who believes in the fundamentals o.
democracy isn't it plausible that q
statesman, or even politician who wa,
trying to be statesman. could leaFr
more about vital realities from ordinary
people than from those stepped in cul

While the printing OF the books
containing l04 pages was an enorm-

partake of only a few, and at our ball we want you to eat everything we give you and say it tastes like more"
 Mrs. Dewstoe then told of the very wonderful thing Mir. Louis Pizitz is doing for the Linly Heflin unit. She and her co-chairman, Mrs. E. M. Tut wiler,. IT,, were terribly perplexed over getting supper enough for the. many, many people, but all this problem was solved when Mir. Pizitz offered to have everything prepared in. the modern kitchen of his .big-new stofe, not only prepared, but delivered at the Country club. There is nothing more complete and up-to date than this kitchen, with it's corps of efficient chefs, and so every one is assured of splendid supper.
 Not being satisfied with providing a bountiful supper, these two chairmen with their committed, Mrs. Frank Smith and Mrs. Ben Morgan, were de- termined that every one should quench his thirst, so delightful frappe is to be served all during the evening in the sun parlor. Here aabeEy of lovely girls will dispense this nectar, made pos sibfe by the generous gift of Mir. Waite and those who have been so fortunate as to have eaten some of the delicious Aieess made by Mir. Waite know just what n treat is in store for them.
 , We left Mrs. Dewstoe feeling that the supper to be given at the Nah Jong ball will surpass anything ever given before and convinced that it would sus- tain and comfort the dancers until the wee small hours.

Delicious Supper At Nah Jong
 B a l |

The task of providing supper for all the hundreds of people that will come to the Nah Jong ball Monday evening ats the Country club is no small prob lem. We all know that to little folks the most important part of the party is the ice cream and cake and grown ups are not very different after all in fact, an old Chinese proyerb says The great man is he who does not lose his child heart" and there never was truer saying than the old one that advises us the way to mans henrt is to feed him.
 Be that as it may, we all know how much happier we are when the inner man is satisfied. Children soon learn that the very best time to. ask father, for that extra money, so terribly needed for the circus or what not, is just after Il particularly good dinner. Then while he.is in a cheerful mood with good cigar at hand, any request is received with smile. But just try it before that good dinner and see the difference.
 You see how much happiness depends on. food--so when Mrs. M. E. Dewstoe consented to be the chairman of the refreshment committee for the Nah Jong ball, every member of the Linly Heflin unit knew that there was no need to give that part of the ball an- other thought. Not only is Mrs. Dews- toe most capable executive, quietly and efficiently carrying out any plans, but she is wonderful cook.
 When asked for some interesting ar-. ticle of the supper for the ball at once said "oh, but don't want any one to know just what good things we are going to serve on that night"
 "And are you really and truly going to serve plate supper and not a sand wich?" "Why, yes, indeed we are going to serve plate to every single person at the ball and you know it will taste ever so much better if it is a surprise, so I simply can't tell you what it will be-"
 At least tell me if it will be Chinese food to carry out the idea of the Nah Jong ball." Mrs. Dewstoe said: Well, that is easy to answer-no, it will not be Chinese food, for even Chinaman told me not to try that.
 eI suppose he had been in this coun- try long enough to know how much better our food is than his, hasn't he?" I asked.
 .Not only that" Mrs. Dewstoe re- piled, but in China many dishes are served you, but you are expected to

tact with on applying for tre job are much older than herself, and would be insulted if called "old." A young man is more apt to give her a job than an old man.
 We females, after seeing all of this, wonder if the lie doesn't pay when 1t comes to age; but when we want to marry, should the old subject be lied about, or should John be told the truth and let it go at that? If think John will remain in love with me 1 will be two years younger and burn my bridges behind me. What is your idea about all this age business?
 CURIOUS TO KNOW.
 Answer: I think the age business is clinging to moss-grown supersti- tion. You can't count age in terms of years, because it is a matter of |. temperament and not of time. There are babies who are old in the cradle, and men and women who are flap pers and jellybeans at eighty. But for a marriage to be happy a husband must be in the same age class mentally, physically and spiritually as his wife, because then they will want to do the same thing and have the same viewpoint on life. And it is ad- visable for man to have few years anywhere up to fifteen-more than the woman, because women are born old CT than men are, and acquire worldly wisdom earlier.
 As for two years either way, that is a trifle not worth considering, and I do not believe that any sensible man would bother about it. Still. if you think that your John would find you less attractive at thirty than at twenty-eight, you have a perfect right to be as young as you look, instead of as old as you are The recording angel drops a pitying tear over l, woman's lie about her age and blots [ the record out. Why there should be this mad wor- ship of youth in woman, and why 1t should be demanded of woman that she be a perpetual debutante, good ness only knows.
 A very young girl may be easy on the eyes, but she is hard on the ears, for she shippers and giggles and bores you to tears with her chatter. Many women are better looking at forty than they were at sixteen, and all of them are more interesting, because life and experience teach even a moron some thing.
 think you are mistaken in your idea that extreme youth is an asset in trying to get job. Most of the men I know prefer middle-aged wom- en employees because. they are less apt to get married and are more in- terested in their work.
