Tony O'Brien sat with Nollie

1t had rained overnight, and
the sun brought out enchant-
ing odors of sage and sandal
wood and bog myrtle.
All the loneliness of Nature
was right here. A fitting set

deep of the beauty of it.
But the one glorious fact that
Tony was beside her was enough

in an ugly wilderness.

She drew away from him.
Oh! she must tell him now.
Stupid to go on with the
camouflage.
But the words that she de-
sired to speak wouldn't come.
"See that smoke over there.
Is that where you live?"
yep. That's my shack. I do
my own cooking and all. Come
along and I'll show it to you,"
said the young man.

He fell into step beside her
on the path that twined by the
water.
Nollie was grateful for this
break that put the moment Of
confession off.
When he knew she wasn't the
rich Mrs. Judson, would the
glamour that she had for him
go? Would he lose all interest
in her?
She couldn't bear it if he did.
Her whole being throbbed with
excitement.
He slipped a hand under her
elbow and piloted her on the
winding path.
Don't you think it's beautiful
out here?" she asked nervously.

slowly. IT think it's a wonder

you know that we Irish are

said that the blood flew to her
forehead.
What would he think? How
bold she must have sounded.
But Tony O'Brien considered
this gravely.

1T must have followed you
around to all those Riviera

Nollie was silent.
Anyhow, when at last you
did get my letter, you could
at least have answered it,"
Perhaps it wasn't addressed
to me at all? Perhaps 1t
wasn't my property?"
Tony looked at her in a
puzzled way. Il certainly put
the name of Mrs. Virginia Jud-
son on the envelope"
Now he would guess. Now
would the dream end?
And just as she was about
to speak, to tell him all, up
bounded Fury, the Alsatian.

dog! Is he yours?" Tony
caressed him.

The big dog took to Tony

Hours of research are spent
by Valeska Suratt at the Library
Of Congress.
Years ago, in 1906 in fact,
she was one of the bellies of the
stage and appeared in a popular
production known as The Girl
with the Whooping Cough.
The title Of that production
might have been appropriate,
for she was looked upon as
daring" because she was re-
garded as the originator of the
low-cut back for evening dresses
and set them off in excellent
style. She was also we'll known
for the black beauty spot which
she wore on her left shoulder.
Girls of today should have
seen the daring low-cut dress
that Valeska wore. The cut
barely reached below the
shoulders.

CHANGES NOTED IN
STATUS OF WOMEN
-
Historic Authority for Any
Transformation.

In 1882, the woman wage-wOrker
captured the imagination of England,
Michael Sadler submitted to parlia-
ment an exhaustive report on work
Ing conditions, wages, and the social
implications flowing out of the
abrupt shift of women from home
into factory. The standard work
day In cotton mills was seen to be
13 hours-from 6 a. m. to p. M,
with an hour off for meals-although
in flush times it ran as high as IS.
And the census Of 1885 showed that
women over eighteen predominated
in England's factories: 1O2,S12 Of the
fair sex to SS,S59 of the brave.
So much for the New Woman of
1882. She worked from sunup to
dark for relatively good pay (the
wages were sharply reduced as the
textile industry became stabilized)
in converted barns, warehouses or
jerrybuilt new structures badly light
ed and unhealthy for the most part.
She dwelt in rickety tenements
quickly run up in the boom
towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire !;
smoked cigarettes, frequented public
houses, selected her own mate how
ever temporarily and used the sort
Of fortnight, biological language
customary with the fine ladies of
medieval Provence, or Elizabeth's
court, or of mixed parties in New
York speakeasies and penthouses
during the dear. dead 1920s.
The lesson is familiar. almost
bromide. There is nothing new un-
der the sun and only change Is con-
slant. The status of women, like
other aspects of the human tradition,
alters from generation to generation.
Thus, there is abundant historical
warrant for any shift in the direc-
ton of woman's interests, Forrest
Davis comments, in the New York
Telegram.
In the history of woman, as WON
an, precedent exists for virtually ev-
cry condition. If American girls, be-
ing turned aside in large numbers
from the prospect of careers, or even
Jobs, by a stabilized, mechanistic in
dustrial order, increasingly idealize
the ''fettered" home body over the
''free'' wage-worker, the bent would
not be abnormal, in great degree.
A similar change took place in
Eighteenth century England. Queen
Elizabeth's prestige and the mighty
stir attending her age thrust women
into trade and industry. Although
legal restraints were not removed,
the sex enjoyed wide freedom. AS
a consequence, until the Eighteenth
century, "the common idea was
widespread that the husband and
wife were responsible together fol
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1933-04-06

the support OF the children. Many
wives and mothers, even though they
worked at home, had to help their
husbands with the financial burdens
of the family" I quote from "Vic-
torian Working Women"
That shift brought about the atti-
tude Of men toward women which
we commend or stigmatize as Vic
torian. Woman was pallid, given to
swooning, confined in activity to
fancywork, little music and the
arts of attracting and ministering to
suitable male. That was in the
higher circles. In the lower, women
still were subjected to the strong dis
ciplines of the boot and interminable
childbearing.
Even Rousseau, savage libertarian,
circumscribed woman's social func-
ton. She should concentrate on the
qualification, comfort and entertain
ment Of man.
1t required the Industrial revolu-
LlOll, WIFI Vic dLIClluuAI 0yo-
TEN, to begin the vast change which
lowered in the feminist movement.
A powerful economic impulse sup
ported the feminists, from Mary
Wollstonecraft to Alice Paul. The
facts of life were with the theorists.
AS women increasingly took jobs,
earned their own money and showed
capacity for doing some profitable
things, at least as we'll as men, it be-
came harder to deny them an equal
share in social and political affairs.
No doubt it is significant that Mary
Wollstonecraft's explosive "Vindica-
ton of the Rights Of Women" did not
appear until the steam engine had
proved itself a vast addition to mans
power and the factory system had
taken form.

quell Indian uprisings in the Ohio-ln-
diana territory. And the most tragic
aspect of st. Clair's famous defeat at
the hands of Blue Jacket, Little Tur-

death of over fifty of them at the
scene of battle and the suiferings
many of them were forced to endure

There was Mercy HARRISON, whose
husband survived the battle, but was
Immediately ordered out again to spy

Early one morning, when he had been
summoned to the nearby blockhouse
Mercy awoke to find painted redskln
pulling her out of bed and her cabin
filled with Indians. Hoping to distract
the Indians attention and make es-
cape possible for herself and three
children, she began to talk of the fort
of the forty able-bodied men stationed
there, all excellent marksmen. Her
account saved the fort rather than
