The Marry-GO-ROund
Amateur Vamps
BY Helen Rowland

Amateur Vamps
Comfortable shoes, a comfort
able conscience and a comfort
able love-affair; this combina-
ton will do more to keep a
woman's face unwrinkled than
a thousand-dollar face-lit and a
course of beauty-packs.
The women a man remembers
most tenderly are those who
made his bachelor day happy
by letting him slip through
their fingers.
This is the day of the anna
teur vamping championship,
when every sixteen-year-old
fancies that she could make
Cleopatra look as innocuouS as
a strawberry sundae, If she
could only finG a Marc Antony.
The acid-test of a modern
girls love is not her willingness
to go through purgatory for a
man, before marriage, but her
willingness to go through pow
erty with him, after marriage.

And a broken heart had its
use being open, as no other
heart could be to human suffer

She was a very great lady,
the Mary who some say was the
Mother of Christ. Others say
that she never lived. But this
is sure. The dream she in
spires, lived and lives the
dream of Steadfast, gentle won-

Always men have carried that
dream in their hearts. From
their earliest, jungle beginnings
through all their wallowings
and WanderingS, men have car
ried that dream-belleVed in it
fought for it. And, somehow,
been saved by it.
A WOman's Dream
And always woman has car
ried that dream. the dream
of what a very great lady
should be. They. themselves,
were not like that. They knew
they were not like that. But
still, there it shone-through
the darkness of their Stiffness

seen it shining, in strange
places, in the eyes Of weary
workers, of nagging, discour-
aged wives.
No matter how life had dis
couraged or defeated them.
they still had-her! That dream
of what woman might be, even
if they had failed to be it.
Somehow it lifted them, gave
them pride.
Looking at her across the
clutter of my desk. I wonder.
Her world and mine - nearly
1000 years apart. New ways,
new freedoms, new knowledge
of the soil. Yet will there ever
come a lovelier, braver dream

Advances Two Plans
For Unemployment Relief
Editor Times:

Editor Times:
Knowing how deeply interest
ed you are in the subject, I am
taking the liberty of submitting
two worthy propositions which,
If adopted, would aid Govern
ment workers greatly and at the
same time give employment to
perhaps hundreds Of idle trades
men now walking the streets Of
this city.
1t may not be generally known,
but members of your staff, at
least, must be aware Of the fact
that there is in the retirement
fund contributed by Govern
ment workers huge surplus,
probably approaching 100000
900, that is mot working" And
this surplus is increasing month
ly for the reason that more con-
tributionS are required than are
necessary to cover annuitieS
granted employees retired. The
writer has often thought that
it would be indeed a great bless
ing il a small percentage Of this
total, eVer-increasing fund, were
used for purposes of direct bene.
fit to Government employees,
both active and retired. Two Of
the purposes in mind follow:

It stands in the busiest cor
ner of my room-an old, 1tal-
ian head of the Madonna.
Seeing it there, in its melloWed
loVelinesS, you may wonder why
it is next to typeWriters and
paste pots, paper clips and
dusty files. You'll say, perhaps,
that she should be in a shrine.
But I've put her where she is
because that's where I need her
most-holding herself SO SIM
pie and serene above the fret
full clutter of my days.
She's quite different from
the usual artists conception
the baby faced Madonna with
placid prettiness. This is the
face of a woman who knew
great suffering. The frail
hands, folded across her breast,
are worn. The corners of the
brow are thinned-aS rocks
that face the securing of the
winds and rains are thinned.
The model for this artists con-
ception of the Madonna, very
clearly had faced her winds
and rains, poor soul!
Fighting Eyes
The eyes lie in deep pools of
shadow. Not meek eyes-fight-
ing eyes! They did not take
easily to monotony and poverty
or lightly accept pain. But
somehow they learned to bank
their fires-and wait
There is control, too, in that
silent sensitive mouth. She
knew how to love, but she knew,
also, how to curb love lest it
meddle and bind. She could
have loved enough to let Him go
His way, even though that way
led to the cross and her own
agony. But she had survived
her own agony. She had known
the greatest adventure. 1t, had
been worth all it cost. Always,
remembering, she would be

1000 or more people. Let this
institution, also, be run on a
businesslike basis after compile
ton so that it would be prac-
tically self-supporting. Permit
admission at as low a rate as
possible to all retired Govern
ment workers-in no case to ex-

annuity. It is safe to assume
that hundreds of annuitantS,
without family attachments, are
living lonely, uncomfortable
lives in gloomy rooms or apart
ments on their small retirement
checks. These worthy men and
women would surely welcome
the opportunity to spend their
remaining days in peace and
comfort, and being all former
Government employees. what a
happy family it would consti-
tute!
These two institutions could
be located or the same plot of
ground and be open to all Gov
ernment employees in Washing
ton and elsewhere who would
care to use them.
It is realized, Of course, that
Congress would have to author.
ize the use of retirement funds
for the erection of a hospital
and home, but this authority
ought not be difficult to secure

Futility

Futility
It is hard for you who have
been active in earning money
to find the way blocked by cir
cumstanceS and have to ask fer
money as a dependent.
It matters not whether it be
in your own home or in that
of another.
1t is hard to feel an earning
ability and a laudable purpose
for spending money you might
earn, and yet cannot get at the
job that brings in money.
Have you ever had the kind
Of cold that makes you talk in
whispers?
You feel just about as effec.
tive.
To know what is needed in a
certain direction, to know where
and how to get it, and yet be
unable to reach it, means par
alysis of spirit.
Perhaps you have strained
every nerve to force Circum-
stances.
Words are inadequate to ex-
press the depth. the heighth,
the breadth of weariness that
comes from such Intellectual
striving.
Perhaps your own family
wonder and think you have lost
interest in home.
It is not a thing You can ex-
plain.
It must be understanding and
a willingness to help you in self
expression that can help you,
you think.
But, instead, you have reached
bottom to enable you to see
that there is only one thing
that can help you, and that is
faith in Gods ultimate good for
you.

Win a Woman" because the
kind of man who could write au-
thentically on that subject is
always too busy trying to LOSE
a lot of women, to stop and
theorize about it..
In a modern girls philosophy,
apparently, marriage has moth
ing more to do with love than
night has to do with sleep, or
nature with a good complexion.
A girl seldom notices what
the clergyman who marries her
looks like; but she always seems
to feel that a good-loeking law
yer will make her divorce a lot
more binding.

Encouraged by the support given the

tional Federation OF Federal employees,
and Gertrude M. Mentally, secretary

as did John Fitzgerald OF New York
and John w. Ross ogf Hampton, Va,

The raising Of Government employ
ment standards generally was advocated
by the Boston convention. The Amer
lean Federation urged that the age limit
of As years for applicants for employ
ment in Government service be raised,
and characterized as unfair the en-
ployment of naval personnel for repairs

and stations, "thus depriving skilled
