The Heart Story | AVy0C A Ay0XnINlnn of

, told her. Not one of us will try to influence you. But We must go back to the others. or we'll never get to the shops
 I slipped my hand through her arm and Dicky tactfully hurried ahead of us so that l was able to speak to her without anyone else hearing me.
 Mary, dearest please relax" I
 whispered. "A taut fiddle string is limp rag compared to you. I sup pose Mr. Neritzens work is worry ing you--"
 It isn't his work" she flashed, then added anxiously Please for get l said that Auntie Madge. IT don't know what I'm saying" You're all tired out" 1 said making my voice practical, and trying to give her the impression that l saw nothing more than fa- tigue in her patent nervous tension. But just remember you're on . holiday today. Forget Mir. Veritzen. your work and everything that wor- ries you, spend your money on the things you like. and have good time generally
 She stopped short. loosened her arm from mine and made a gesture as of tossing something over her shoulder regardless of the curious stares of those nearest us.
 of couse they think I'm crazy" she said, but they'll be around the corner in another second, and they'll never think of me again. That's the incest thing about being in city. You can do anything, and nobody cares. And l couldn't help it. Auntle Madge. 1 just had to do some tool lining to prove to myself l was free for the day. l feel like a man who has carried bag of flour up hill and throws it away before he starts to run down. Oh, boy! what day I'm going to have. And it's all due
 to YOU, Oh. you needn't get that startled fawn look in your eyes.
 Uncle Dickys a dear, but he's
 man. He never would think of this l all by himself

rules governing conditions under which women shall work, it is inn perative that women represent themselves internationally and de- termine what action shall be taken regarding themselves
 "The need for international ac- tion in behalf of equality tor wom- er grows more pressing every day. An intelligent Union of Women, from all countries. should have in- fluence in preventing international bodies from establishing the same inequalities for women in interna- tional law which individual nations have made in the past.
 Such an international commits sion of women should receive the support of the feminists of all coun- tries. It is to be hoped that the day IS not distant when women will see the importance of such a step and will establish headquarters for the conn m !ssion in every capital of every country in the world. In no other way save by solidarity can femlnlsts get international equality

provided the proportions are right.
 She has taken ideas from all the varieties of berets-the Basque, Breton and the Alpine chasseur. Miss Walton is using soft suede for sports wear, and for dressy oc- casions, velvet alone or combined with felt. Among the advance models which she was shipping to America was a rich red-grown vel. vet and felt beret fashioned rather like a students cap and finished off with a knot at the side which lent it jaunty and youthful air. These should be worn slightly tilted. and it seems that all hats are to be worn tilted over one eye this fall.
 Actually New
 Marcelle Lely, another young mo- diste who is fast acquiring a repu. tation for making youthful hats is using long-haired panne velvet com- bined with felt for her latest crea- tions. A beige felt. for example. will show a crown and part of tho brim covered with this brushed panne. The effect is astonl6hlngly new, especially when you had ar rived at the conclusion that nothing new could positively be thought of. Marcelle Lely also excells in the toque type of hat.
 She had charming creatiN which consisted in & ose-flttinE crown of felt, simply swathed round with a wide black satin rib- bon faced with white, which was tied in a knot at the side. as only a Parisian modiste knows how to tie. Panne and taupe will be very largely used and the hat with . brim will be broader on one side than the other. Black. rich brown and beige will be among tho first colors. This. is easily explained as they happen to be the colors which blend best with autumnal shades.

Paris, Aug. 4-The vogue of the chiffon dress necessarily meant thA return of the larger hat. Whatevef argument there may be to find in favor of the close-fitting toque, it IS seldom as becoming. As a conse- quence women have not been so at tractively halted for many seasons safe to predict that we shall see both brimmed hats and toques in the fall fashions.
 While the light colored felt is seen, the natural colored straw is the one which harmonizes best with all types of light dresses, and particularly with printed moussel- inc de soie. The smartest are usu- ally simply trimmed with several grosgrain ribbons matching the colors in the dress and finished off with a jewel brooch if the occasion demands it. As dresses this sum- mer are more elaborate and fem mine, hats in contrast are dis tinctly sober in regard to trim ming. This sobriety extends to all other dress accessories, as a matter of fact.
 An Americans Shop
 Hats always seem to have fasci- mated women. Every day you hear of some well known society woman or theatrical star who has started a hat shop. The latest arrival here in this department is Florence Wal ton, the well known American danc- CT.
 AS far as the models which arc on display are concerned, theil ideas are excellent. She says that the beret type of hat is to be the main theme on which she intends to work for the coming fall and winter. For golf or motoring. they have no equal in comfort and they sut almost every type of face

You Need Talent
 To Win Success
Fortune On Stage Is Not
 Merely Chance.

"Thc desire to act is universal disease that should be discouraged because the path 10 fame on the stage is one of the hardest in the world"
 Elizabeth Grimball. leader in America's little theater" move- ment, and one of the first woman producers said this. Miss Grim ball has discovered and developed many talented young folks who have later found fame on Broad way, such as Helen Gahagan, for example.
 People who want to act can be divided into three classes" Mis-: Grimball asserted. They are: those who consider the stage the high road to adventure. life full of glamour and more to be desired than any life of their own; those who have the urge for life and people and seek the stage as ar outlet: and third. those who really have the talent. Only the las' class should go ahead. Tt is rare that one youngsteI out of 30 who are determining t( make their life work acting ha. the real instinct for the theater, 1 she continued.
 T think the flair for the theateI is an instinctive thing and the de | sire to act or create plays for thu stage is just born in you.
 ''The first essentials of success 1 in the theater granting one hal | talent - are personality rathe than beauty. intelligence and thu capability to work. However. non' of these helps much if an actor O actress lacks talent. Granted thu talent, and given these thre' l qualities. an artist is sure t' emerge"

Interest in Scarf
 Affects Dress Yoke

Paris. Aug. 1 RIThe all-absorb- ing interest in scarfs of all kinds has brought the neck line of the dress into unusual prominence. One of the results is the favor shown yoke which is in different tone from the rest of the dress. Com binations of yellow and white. blue and grey are frequent. The style is naturally limited to women Of fair height as the natural result ia the breaking of the long line neces- sary to the short figure.

Mary Is Overjoyed at the Prospect Of Being Able to Buy Some
 ..hf,afiia,S,,

Mary Is OVeFJOSeu at tne fN~lHNt
 of Being Able to Buy Some
 "Pretties''
 From beneath my eyelashes l gave Dicky's lovely young niece an intent scrutiny as he told her that he wanted her 10 show him the things she meant to buy with the honey he had given her. As fear ed, I saw quick eyaslve LOOK 1lash into her face. and guessed that even with this gift she was planning to devote part Of it to the mysterious purpose which had swallowed her dress allowance. Then as she real ized that no other course but spend ing the money on her own clothing was open to her. my throat con- stricted with pity at the look ot rap ture which came into her eyes The child's beauty loving heart had been starved for the pretty things she had denied herself, that was re- vealed plainly.
 "Oh! oh," Her voice was tremu- lous with joy. T never dreamed ot anything so lovely happening to me- But are you sure. Uncle Dicky that you ought to-
 Wish l were as sure Of Heaven, Kit cat, her uncle returned. ke- member I have no daughter of my own to buy dresses for, so there just naturally fund aching to get itself swapped for dresses and hats"
 I drew a quick startled breath. There was a note in my husband $ voice-was I mad to interpret 1t as vague, wistful longing? But the next instant I refined in my imasi- nation for he had dropped into his old teasing raillery.
 There's only one other stlpula- ton I wish to make" he said, and that Is that you do not try to sult yourself, your aunt Madge. Marion and Mrs. Underwood all at once, about your purchases. If you do, you'n need week instead of day. I never knew two women yet who could agree about gown. Just suit yourself, and then as your grandmother is fond of saying, one person will be pleased"

Don't Permit
 Over-Eating
Parents Should Watch Children at Picnics.

| Consider the old-fashioned picnic when Papa, Mama and the children trotted off with old Dobbin and a basket to a nice quiet place by the creek where the children could swim and the older folk wade, and top off the day by an Ambroslan feast of sandwiches, checked apples, cake and other delectables. Each and every thing home made. if you please, and half of them thome-grow Everybody home by eight o'clock and the children off to bed.
 The picnic still fingers but it's 1 ancestors of the good old days would not recognize it. Usually It is q hurry-up affair picked up on short notice, eaten in rush at some stand, so that the road won't have a chance to cool off be- fore the car hits it again. And the picnic food. things in cans and ready-made pick-ups, is aided and abetted by pop, cracker-jack, ice cream cones, candy and sundry. swallowed hastily and promiscu- ously by the entire family from the baby up.
 The stomach Pays!
 Now there is time and place for everything and far be it frop me to give black-eye to the fam- ily picnic. If the older members have indigestion the next day and take tablets for week to bring them back to normal, that is their prerogative. There is an old. slogan about the price never being toe high if you want it.
 But the place for all this heter- ogeneous collection at one and the same time is not in a child's stom- ach. wonder how many children are in bed at this minute from over-eating at ptcnics, pleasure parks, or other like institutions For children have no sense abou, eating and they have an ostrich like capacity. The truck one smal boy can absorb in one day is na' ture's most puzzling phenomenon.
 Give child a dollar and Tel him gc off with a crowd of othe1 small human appetites for a day'' outing under no particular sur veillance, and if he doesn't sample everything swallowable before h' gets home. Chin Chon Chinn! wasn't Chinaman.

Plunger the Osprey, whom people call the Fish Hawk. was in trouble. He had been in similar trouble be- fore and hadn't learned his lesson. Temptation had been too much for him. He had struck fish too blg for him 10 carry away and he had driven his claws in so far that now he couldn't get them out. There he was, trying to lift that big fish out of water. and there was the big fish trying to pull him into the water. and up above, looking on. was King Eagle, wondering what it was all about.
 King Eagle was not in good temper. He had seen that fish close 10 the surface before Plunger had struck it. He had intended to catch 1t himself and then Plunger had shot in and seized the fish. This in itself was enough to make King Eagle angry. That fish belongs to me-" said King Eagle to himself. Yes. sir. that fish belongs to me, and I'm going to have it. What under the sun is the matter with Plunger?"
 There was plenty the matter with Plunger. He was getting tired and he was very, Very frightened. For a second or two he rested. with his wings outstretche1 on the water. Then once more he tried to beat his way up.
 By this time King Eagle had lost all patience. More than once he had made Plunger drop a fish by threat cnlng him. He tried it now. He shot down. screaming: Drop 1t. Drop it.''
 Poor Plunger wanted to drop it. Never had he wanted anything more than he did to drop that fish. He half turned 10 look up al King Eagle and the latter saw his chance. He struck and struck hard with those great claws of his. He sank them into that fish. And then King Eagle had the surprise of his life. Despite the Tapping of his great wings, he could lift that fish only Il beat his great wings! You see, he was lifting not only the fish, but he was lifting Plunger, too. Plungcr was beating his great wings also and King Eagles temper was ter rible 10 see. You sec, he didn't ye' understand what had happened. Ht thought that Plunger the osprey was clinging to that fish purposels and trying to take if away iron him. King Eagle screamed at him Plunger then screamed back. But plung.r's scream was of fright ana not Of anger.
 Meanw hjlc. Mrs. Eagle had come over to see what the trouble was al about and was flying about jus overhead also screaming and watching for a chance to strike Sh" too, thought that Plunger was cling Ing to that fish purposely, anc when she saw 4 good chance. .sh, struck him hard.
 Now it happened that she strucl plung.r in just the right place, no 10 injure him, yet 10 tear his srasI of the fish loose.

Treated as Suspension Re-
quest by l, c, c.

The protest recently lodged by Wash
ington business interests with the In
terstate Commerce Commission against
the increase to S3.l3 per gross ton,
which the Chesapeake 81 Ohio, the Nor
folk and Western and Virginian Rail-
roads propose To put into effect August

their lines, is being treated as a SuSpen-
sion request only and not an appeal
for the reopening Of the whole rate
case.
This was learned today at the Inter
state Commerce Commission The
opinion was expressed unofficially that
only the original parties to the case.
which affected the Potomac Electric
Power Co. could now ask for reopening
of the subject. The Potomac Electric
Power Co. has taken no action IN the
present move to suspend the new coal
rates.
Meanwhile, the Southern carriers
that bring so~cailed smnkeleSS coal from
the fields OF Virginia. West Virginia and
Kentucky into Washington, are being
given an opportunity TO file an answer
to The protests If they desire.
