BIZ ANNE AUSTIN

For years the entire Lane clan had
gathered at the Myrtle Street home
of Jim Lane for Thanksgiving din
ner, and Faith had determined that
Cherry's wedding should not inter
fere with the tradition. For days
she had baked and cleaned house in
preparation for the big feast day. A
lordly turkey, the largest that Jim
Lane could find in the city, was
ready for the oven before the other
members of the family struggled into
the dining room for a late breakfast.
Dinner was to be at o'clock. and
the eight guests would begin to ar
rive by noon.
Thanksgiving breakfast was as
traditional as Thanksgiving dinner in
that old-fashioned household. BY
o'clock Faith was ready to serve
the fluffy. delicately Drowned buck
wheat cakes and the crispy fried
link sausage. Hors of work lay
ahead of her before she could sum-
mon the fourteen hungry diners to
the feast. The wide sink board was
piled high with celery, lettuce cauli-
flower, sweet potatoes. carrots and
parsnips, and ranged.in the window
was a row of glasses. filled with
ruby-red cranberry jelly, made the
day before.
do you think we've got enough
food in the house7" Mrs. Lane sighed
over her first cup of coffee.

ITO Bob or Not to Bob!"


Many times I have given this prob
lem much serious thought. realizing
that those in the limelight, as screen
stars necessarily are, arouse the ami
mostly Of some and the admiration Of
others whether they do or do not fol-
low the present day modes.
Undeniably Popular
The bob" is undenlably popular
mode Of dressing the hair and not a
transient fad.
It's adoption has by no means been
confined to the younger set or to the
flapper. 1t has not been a respecter
Of age, size, race. creed or color.
Gray locks are shorn, as well as
black or brown or golden. and let
me say right here that Of all of the
girls and women l know who have
hobbed their hair there isn't a single
instance in which they have failed
to improve their appearance, and
their hair as well.
Many Letters Ask 'WhyH
To speak thus favorably of the
bobbed head. know, will give rise
to the question why have not
bobbed my own tresses. Indeed, my
daily mail seldom fails to include
letters asking why I have not done
so and indicating that l am looked
upon as a champion Of the long
haired.
OF course. It is natural for per
sons to assume that I am a de-
fender Of the unbobbed. Many things

cut her hair.

Perhaps dear Mabel A, you are
so engaged in watching the progress
of others, that you do not get the
proper squirt on your own work.
You seem to think that the others
who have been promoted, did not de-
serve their advance, but that you
do. Really, that does not seem like
ly. There is some good reason for
your standing still, am sure.
If you are consumed with envy
and resentment this will show
through and the atmosphere of your
own thinking will act as a stumbling
block. Now forget about what the
others do and begin to set and
reach a high standard of work for
yourself. And be cordial and pleasant
while doing It, Mabel.

It is my opinion that every wom-

There are too many ugly things In

YOUNG KAHN
IS WISE IN
GIRL CHOICE
Chorus Maid Preferable as a
Wife-SoCiety Buds
Scored.
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Roger Kahn, son of the famous
Otto, announces he will never marry
in society circles, as he prefers the
chorus girl type.
He is a wise young man, and has
the determination to fashion his life
to suit his talents and is. strangely
enough, making a success Of it.
AS to picking a wife, 1t would be

much good sense. AS between the
typical society maid and the average
chorus girl, the latter would be pref
cradle as a wife. For in spite of
our impression to the contrary, she
knows what hard work is. She is
not the petted and pampered darling
Of fortune that many imagine her
to be. She is merely an average
youngster trying to make a living
out of the accomplishments she
may possess.
The society girl, on the other
hand, Is often a parasite. Having
been reared in elegance and luxury
and taught to look upon the high
flyer as a desirable citizen, she is
not likely to settle down and bear
any ill-fortune that may be her hus-
bands fate~> The chances are that
she will feel herself entirely above
doing any homework.
Some time ago when the English
aristocrat was the arbiter of the
lives of his underlings, and was re-
garded as benefactor and father to
was some reasons for the society
myth. Today in America there is no
such reason. The woman who
strives to be society leader and
nothing more, leads the emptiest and
most vapid existence imaginable.
She contributes less than nothing
to the society she would direct.
Fortunately these days, with the
example Of working women to urge
them on, our so-called society folk
are busying themselves with valuable
tasks, civic, political, charitable or
artistic. They refuse any longer to
be merely clothes racks and CONVEX
sational adopts. They are improv-
ing remarkably.
Perhaps the time will come, If IL
is not already dawning, when the
United States will have no more so
ciety women, in the old-fashioned
sense of the word, and no more girls
brought up in idle luxuriance.

who is interested in society and
nothing more will make the poorest
excuse for a helpful wife or care

used his irons. His powerful

Without that snap there can be

so. Many have his size and APP
parent strength.
But. one glance at ArTb0ur's
wrists explains the whole busis
ness. The Armour wrists are
large, powerful, sturdy. They are
far more pretenfiOus than the
average wrist, and they furnish
Tommy with the snap and swish
that provides the hit.
The Congressional pro stands al
most upright and has an upright
swing. He takes the Nlub back
slowly. but with complete rhythm.
There is no jerk-no apparent ef-
fort. 1t almost seems that the
club is being carried back under
its own power.
The club is carried until ehe
wrists are easily forced to break.
There is sharp break. then the
downward start. AS the club head
cuts its arc, 1t starts to gather mo-
mentum and about inches from
the ball 1t swings naturally into a
powerful, decisive stroke.
Armour hits into the ball, giving
it the bite that is the delight Of
the golfers heart. Or he can play
the over spin, when, of course, il
| is impossible to hit down on the
| ball.
The whole secret of his swing
lies in hisN~stance and his wrists.
It is those powerful MUSCLES re-
hind the palm that enable him 10
swing with such unapparent force
Like Jones. Armour does not
seem to be .siIling the ball. Tire
swing Is so sasy as TO be. very
deceptive. &c Looks to be merely
an easy hit with a light iron.
But how that ball does go away
from there.
Tommy's pivot is not much. II
is so small as to be hardly notice
able. His hips turn very slightly
and his shoulders only maneuver
enough to get the force of his frame
behind the club head. Most players
make the sad mistake of hitting
with both shoulders on an even
keel. No good golfers do. that.
Some low scoring pros hit an iron
shot as far as Armour and Jones.
But that pair do 1t easily and
naturally. while most or the other
fellows simply wade into the ball
and slug Il.
The one thing that every golfer
