Beautiful

Unless all tales Of the
pirate queen are inventions,
she is not only a very ef-
ficient sea robber with all
the modern Improvements,
but a beautiful woman as
well. She is slender and
short, with jet black hair
and eyes and a smooth,
ivory skin. Her jewelry is
exclusively old jade-pins,
earrings and bracelets. Her
face and dark eyes are the
face and eyes of an intel
ligent woman, but hard and
ruthless. She is about forty
a nd is always exquisitely
dressed, even while COM
manding her pirate junks-
white satin robe with green
jade buttons, and white silk
slippers with green jade
ornaments.
AS many tales are told
of her in the Far East as
were ever told Of Robin
Hood or Captain Kidd. She
is said to have inherited her
ships and her business from
her father, an oldtime pirate
who was killed in a sea
fight with a rival pirate
chief. His daughter, who is
said to have been educated
in this country as a very
young girl, continued n d
expanded his piracy bust
ness. Wherever she goes, on
land or sea, a giant man
servant is always at her
shoulder.

ONCE OVERS

It may be that your family
have commented too freely on
your personal affairs that you
consider of a private nature,
and so you have become retlcent.
All the members Of a family
should learn early that personal
and private matters are taboo
when it comes to telling them
outside, to the neighbors or to
anyone, whether social or busi-
ness friend.
Family matters should be
sacred to your family-not told
to dearest friends.
Naturally, if little things leak
out that you want to keep to
yourself, there is less freedom Of
speech and someone feels left
out.

than is the rocky automobile
petting- party road. Every mar
rying girl kept the house full Of
chocolate fudge for hungry
males.
OF course, the world today is
filled with grafters and "grif-
tiers" of both sexes; and a girl
is worse than foolish to let a
male gold-digger impose on her.
But there is very little differ
ence in the status of the sexes,
these times. And, if a thorough
bred needs or asks for "a cuppa
cawfee and a sandwich" it's
up to girl to be a good pal and
hand it out to HIM!

Ruthless

A prisoner, later released
by Madame Lai Choi San,
saw her in action. Her fleet
of pirate junks sighted three
small trading ships. From
her post of command, in a
throne-like CT air on tn Q
after deck, Madame hai
gave with jeweled hand the
calm order to 60 into ac-
tion. The small cannon of
the pirate junks began to
bark as Madame waved her
white prisoner below decks.
Things were about to take
place that she had no wish
for him to see.
Half an hour later, when
he was permitted to go on
deck again, the tr a d in g
ships had disappeared from
the surface of the sea-all
except one that was slowly
sinking by the head. And
Madame Lai, the pirate
queen, turned from watch
ing her returning sma ii
boats loaded with loot from
the sunken ships, to ask her
prisoner what we're the lat
est plays in the London
theater.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland

Nowadays, there are male
gold-diggers as well as lady
gold-diggers-and there's
gigolo for every vamp. "Grift-
ing" Gas Walter Winchell calls
it, is no longer a one-Sex affair.
1t works both ways.
'"There is no sex in crime
and there is no sex in reciproc-
ity or fair play. I feel just as
sorry for a man who is on his
uppers as I do for a woman.
Indeed, I feel SORRIER for
him. Because a ny suffering"
from a toothache to a pain in
the pocket, always goes so much
harder with the hardy sex than
it does with the sex whose por-
ton has always been suffer
ing" and who are accustomed
to empty pockets.
"I'll pay for the gasoline and
furnish the car, if you'll furnish
the coffee and sandwiches"
seems to me a pretty good ex-
ample of fair play, if the man
is thoroughbred and has
nothing to spend on a girl ex-
cept the evening.
There WAS a time when men
simply "called on" girl, eve
nings, instead Of taking her
out places; and she cheerfully
fed them from the chafing-dish
just as a matter of course or a
matter Of hospitality.
Many a perfectly good hus-
band was caught by plate Of
lobster Newburgh or panned
oysters, or by a sweet air of
domeSticity and a fetching
organdie apron. The path to
the altar was far EASIER and
