Bobby's feet hardly touched the

Fortunately we ran into q

Second Installment of Modern Novel,
Centered On Heart and Mind
of the "Flapper."

Nora Lee, always excited when
Ida went on the rampage, and
now doubly concerned, listened
almost with pain. Ida was touch
ing on chords that ached.
Slim Lines Again.
It was five months since the
night she and Dane had gone to
the theater. He had finally in
sisted on the hiring Of a nurse
girl. The little Dane was now a
year old and beginning to walk.
His mother was. graceful and
1.-the again as in her girlhood.
At first it had been a bitter
shock to discover that the baby
could get along without her
that he was just as happy in
her absence. But she had been
compensated with the renewed
sense Of freedom; the feeling of
ightness and exuberance dancing
again IN her veins.
It had been sheer joy to see
the long, slim lines returning-to
find her feet once more swift
and eager. Going about again
with this gay, carefree. irrespon-
sible crowd she had the contin-
ual feeling Of playing hockey"
Of being on a stolen holiday. She
was really delighted to have COM
partnership again-she blithely
overlooked shallowness and the
crude jokes that used to irritate
her holly.
Now she said eagerly: what
should we do, Ida, to escape be-
ing pitiful?"
"One or two of US against the
mob are hopeless. There are one
or two women in the world who
realize that the tremendous prob
lens Of life are in their hands
to solve. The rest of us scorn
our work. We allow it to be
contemptuously called "Women's
work." We think our husbands,
with their absurd little games CT
stock playing-buying and sell
Negotiating and scheming to
act as though theirs was the i'm
portant role.
We're ashamed of our sex. In
our hearts most of US hate it.
Otherwise would a woman try to
hide the fact that she is to have
a child? Rather would she con-
slider it a glory.
"Some day men are going to
awaken and discover that they've
acted like blind, silly little school
boys. They've grown up and con-
tinued to play craps and marbles.
But all the exciting human prob
lens, all the dramatic and stupen-
dous experiments they've turned
over to women. They've given
them human flesh and blood; hui
man hearts and souls to work
with.

In the Home

Stains on clothes. stockings,
and 80 on can be removed by
rubbing them with cut lemon or
lemon dipped in salt, and imme-
diately rinsing them. Stains on
the hands also disappear if
rubbed with lemon.
When ironing handkerchief it
is well to remember that the
middle should be ironed first; to
iron the edges first causes the
middle to swell out, and makes it
difficult to iron satisfactorily.
When the rollers of a wringer
become worn get some strips Of
calico and sew neatly round the
rollers. This will make the worn
part perfectly smooth and pre-.
vent the wood from damaging the
clothes.
When the time for cooking vege-
tables is limited, pour boiling
water over them. Then drain and
cook in the usual way.

Ida remarked quietly: I'm not

meant the type that starts out
with a few ideals: the type that
wants to play square; to give as
much and more than she gets; to

happier place for her children.
That woman is pitiful today"
"Why?"
Because she's doomed to fail
ure. The world is against her,
the whole shabby fabric of modern
society is against her. II she has,
even a little money she's COM
mitted to idleness; to gadding and
tea-sipping and frenzied style

the way the world is arranged
today child bearing and child

things such as bridge playing and

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
No Obstacle to LO0e
NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

AEAE6 Miss kA<As
~ A young man whom have
known for many years has pro-
posed marriage to me.
1 do not know what answer to
give him. He is well educated
and very ambitious-the kind
that will amount to something.
But the trouble is he Is short
and I am tall. And am afraid
people will laugh when they
see us together.
This thought has so eaten into
my heart that I don't think /
love him, although I have tried to.
If 1 marry him know must
expect to struggle along the
first few years. Will you please
advise me? G. B.
noN'T allow yourself to become
~ prejudiced because Of the
young mans short stature. #
you don't think about it, no one
else Will. And no one will dream
Of laughing. Many great and dis.
tinguished men have been very
short.A
Don't be frightened at the
thought of economy for q few
years. after your marriage.
The one question for you to
decide is whether your affection
and respect for the man who
loves you are so genuine that you
could be happy with him in the
lifelong companionship of mar
riage.
