The
WOMAN'S
DAY
BY Allene Sumner

When little Martha Kenworthy
was IS. she told her mother that the
first thing she would do when her
great-aunts legacy carie to her al
20. would be ito chuck all that junk
out of my bedroom and do it all
over" Mother Emily was shocked
at first, Marthas room being the
product of infinite planning and
money on her part not so long ago
Daughter Martha and mother
Emily are charac: ers in THE
Painted Room" by Margaret Wilson.
Is is a sequel to her THE Ken
worthys." 1t is, in my opinion, about
the best problem" story about this
younger generation ever written, the
attempts of a bewildered mother to
understand" the miss of 1925, the
catastrophe that comes in spite Of
what seems the best job of mother
ing encountered in some time.
Martha Kenworthy. is the best
picture of the educated f1apper ever
penned or painted, with her MY
Cooling" her trips to the bathroom
sans bathrobe. her delight in such
words as "harlot" and "hussy," the
books she reads. and, most OF all,
the painted room.
She Got Her Room
For Martha got her room, without
waiting for the legacy. There was
the usual CONSERVATION in Ma
Emily's heart. 1t was her house.
There was a certain scheme, a uni.
formity throughout. How prepos-
ferrous to let Martha daub up one
room with purple and red paint!
/ Thus spoke that tribe of women
who, as wives and mothers. have al
ways owned the whole house.
Is She Free?
But Martha triumphed as the
thinking mother emerged. After
ALL" unused Emily, did her child
feel hampered, thwarted of joy by
parental preferences? Was she get
ting eager to get out of the home,
away some place TO freedom, as her
mother had run once into marriage?
After all, the door in the outer hall
could be kept shut"
The Purple Floor
So The Painted Room was born. A
dark purple floor. Sand-colored walls
with woodwork to match, touched
up with little green lines. Cerise
oval silken rugs. Black enamel day
beds studded with bizarre batik
cushions. Bookshelves with absurd
little cupboards at each end, which
Martha opened to show her friends,
and an electric stove on a little
tray which you stood on this little
shelf which pulled out, so. There
were a primitive sort of crockery
bowls and coffee things from the
Chicago Ghetto. And Martha had
the closet made into dressing room
so that her room was her own liv-
ing room. and the ensemble was
called "Martha's Apartment"
Martha's Apartment
Here Martha entertained "her
gang" here they danced and made
played and slept quite free from par
entail approval or disapproval. A
natural result, of course, was to
make the family feel shut out
Emily was an outsider. "she didn't
belong" except to make up the
black enamel daybeds and dust the
polished purple floors.
Did She Fail?
Many mothers of the old-fashioned
sort may believe that Emily was to
blame for the catastrophe that final
ly came. Any mother courted such
things, they may say, by giving her
daughter an apartment right in her
parents own home"
Maybe-but which do parents pre-
fer, apartments in their own homes
for their modern daughters, or

All styles call for slenderness, short
skirts in particular. And most women,
as you see, are meeting that require
ment.
The easy, pleasant way is MarmoIa
Prescription Tablets. They act by cor
recting the cause. No abnormal exer-
else or diet is required.
People have used them for 1o years.
They have told and shown the results to
others, and the use has grown. Now, in
these days of slender figures, people are
using Marmola in very extensive way.
You see the results everywhere. Per-
haps your own friends can tell them. If
so, they will say that Marmola brought
none but good effects.
Try this time-tested method, so widely
employed today. Simply take four tab
lets daily and watch results. Stop when
you reach proper weight. A method
used by millions, and for 1o years, must
be both right and effective. Learn, for
your own sake, what so many know
about it.
Marmola prescription tablets. are
sold by all druggists at 81 per box.

them at once from his iobber.

state of New Mexico claims to possess
the largest, and no doubt the Oldest,
autograph album in all America il not
in all the world.
known locally as FL MORO and sit
uated near the town of Wingate, it
now is one of Uncle SANS national
monuments. This album" consists of
a huge rectangularshaped rock OF
whitish sandstone, its walls being al
most straight up and down and some
200 feet tall, suggestive of a temple
of extraordinary size. 1t is unique IN
that it has but four pages (sides) and
was formed by nature ages and ages
ago-its scanned and weather-worn
sides plainly showing the rayages OF
centuries of time.
The existence of this massive album
was undoubtedly known to the Indians
long before the attention of white men
was drawn to it in 1849 by Lieut.. }. II.
Simpson who discovered" it While on
military expedition.
The surface of this rock is fine
grained and easy to scratch, which
fact evidently led passers-by to form
the habit of recording their passing,
because its sides hold inscriptions
without number-all very ancient,
