Il Justices WGy
With Women
HINT ON WAR.
BY HELEN ESSARY

Supreme Court Justices about the
iva, has likewise a dissenting
mind about women.
This Is obvious at first glance
because Justice McReynolds is a
bachelor. It was while discussing
this particular aloofness that a
guest at that last charming din
ner given by Secretary Of State
and Mrs. Cordell Hull said to Mr.
McReynolds:
''Mr. Justice, you have re-
manned . happy bachelor.
Therefore, you must h ave .
recipe for managing women"
The ninth Justice Of the Su'
preme Court didn't hesitate a sec
end. He said gravely:
II have q system, Madam"
The Justice always addresses a
woman as Madam.
81 treat the good ones like
they were tough and the tough
ones like they were good"
Justice McReynolds, I suspect,
has his own system about many
things. There is his choice Of col
lars. With a dress suit he wears a
rundown collar.
And he ties his white tie him
self. You can see that a glance
No interfering woman mas said:
"Oh, do let me straighten 1t
for you"
Justice McReynolds has been an
old friend of Secretary Cordell
Hull since the days both were
judges down in Tennessee.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hull had several
other Tennessee friends at their
party. Speaker of the House
Joseph Byrns, r. F. c. Chairman
Jesse Jones and j. Fred ESsary.
Long-legged gentlemen, all Of
them. Each man over six feet
tail. About 33 feet Of Tenpes-
seeanS at one dinner party!
The dinner was extremely sue
cessful, naturally, with this
superior masculine background
plus many other gentlemen Of i'm
portance. The ladies looked very
beautiful and talked delightfully."-.
Mrs. Hull, who has dignity and
grace and always appears as you
think the wife of the Secretary
of State should, was very smart
in a new spring frock Of green
taffeta, cut most becomingly.
A Mossback friend is awfully
depressed over the new technique
of the strike. In the rubber
industry at Akron striking workers
come in to the plant and sit down
and refuse to work.
There they remain the livelong
day, chatting about Walter Lipp-
man, while the Captains OF In
dustry bite their nails and steam
trails wistfully off into the clear
air.
It all seems so gentle and peace
full and refined. Just little gentle
men peacefully discourSing in the
vulcaVjzing room.
No broken heads. no tear-gas
bombB, no scabS.
what is America coming to, the
MoSsback friend broodingly asks.
Things You Ought to Know
Rumors persist that Mrs. Emma
Guffey Miller, sister Of PennSyl.
vania Senator Joe Guffey and
prime persuader in the Demo.
cratic National Convention choice
Of Philadelphia, is about to be
made vice chairman Of the Demo
cratic Committee. This office is
now vacant for the first time in
20 years. j.. 1t was Harold Hinton
who said that his presence in the
senate press gallery for the next
few weeks would be in the hope
of hearing some stalwart, hard
fighting Senator say. II yield tc
the lady from Louisiana" Mrs
Charles Burnett, who lived fol
many years in Japan while hel
husband, Colonel Burnett. was
stationed there, is one of the moSt
dramatic and interesting women
In washington.
While Congress toys around
with neutrality laws some women
are busying themselves with peace
societies designed to keep us out
Of war. Yet, whenever the bugleE
blow, thousands of other womer
pack their men and sons off tc
war. tearfully it may be, but very
proudly. Many a man has fought
because he did not wish to appear
to be a coward in the eyes o.
women.
A correspondent writes to in
qujre:
'What shall a man do in the
face of these conflicting
fOrceS?"
I don't know, but to the war
loving girls. and there are many
of them, I recommend Rebeccs
= VESTS Return Of the Soldier"
That sweet little tale, you may
remember, is Of a young English
wife who sent her husband proudly
off to war. He came back 6
hideous gargoyle with half hi
face shot away. So the wife ma
turally couldn't love him any
more.
What then?
