not talking about things she
doesn't understand, to people VINO
do, or about things she does to
people who don't. Also not incar-
nadining the toenails, and not
wearing a backless gown when
she has an over-vertebrate back,
and not talking of her family
tree if she is from the South, or
of her relations if she is from the
West. l can't think of any more
at the moment, but any lonely
woman should be able to think
of a thousand, and every one OF
them would probably make her
less lonely. And all this is par
ticularly true if she inhablts a
cell in a boarding house, or a
small bedroom in one of those
rather intimidating institutions
known as a woman's club or a
woman's hotel.
NV advice to the fair inhabi-
tants of the last-named converts
and New York is beginning to
TEEN with them-is to make them
really conventual. If all the ladies'
who lived in them absolutely re-
fused to talk to a man, they
would soon find suitors playing
the guitar under their windows
s,,borninp their duennas, placing
ladders against the walls, sending
them amulets by the Mother Su-
perior, and otherwise restoring
the perilous feats of the age OF
Romance.

an unattached female - usually
equally unprepossessing - and
goes on looking until he finds one.
One might think that the fe-
male would simply reverse the
process and search assiduously
for the unattached male. But 1t
isn't as easy as that. In the first
place. she mustn't appear to be
looking: she is forced to go INTO
ambush, always complicated
business. And then the lonely
male is an elusive creature, once
he realizes that he is being fished
for. He is too shy or too cunning
to be caught, or else, once hooked,
he proves to be so unbelieVaoly
dreary that he has to be thrown
back again.
The problem of the solitary fe-
male has, in any case been settled
with such wisdom in Marjorie

that 1 can hardly hope to add
anything worth while. For in

really fundamental question =
What is a woman like when she

the answer could hardly be called
satisfactory. l don't know.

few leisure moments are presum'
ably spent in sleep.
There are solitary women new
fashioned girls, subsisting mainly
on old-fashioned cocktails). who
seem only to appear at bar open
ings, drinking parties and the
popular night clubs, and whose
solitude is undoubtedly dedicated
to SOLDERING up. There are women
who hope to disperse their melan-
choly by inviting unwary males
to dinner at little tea shops and
feeding them dainty repasts
chiefly composed of diced water
melon, the lesser vegetables, like
the lettuce and watercress with
very thin mayonnaise), a prune
whip and a yellow peppermint to
top off with. Curiously enough,
this sort of treatment is often
quite effective - mostly because
the women who do it are ex-
tremely feminine and appealing
or else they wouldn't dare. Then.
finally, there are the women VINO
really like to be alone.
Tor those rare creatures, few
suggestions have occurred to
me. Hobbies, for instance. There
was a time when hobby was
absolutely de rigueur, though 1t
bore the name Accomplishment"
In Victorian days, when suitors
were expected to keep about two
feet away, young ladies used to
sew, crochet and embroider while
they were courted. and a very
pretty appearance they must
have made. But hobbies are anti
social now. modern men don't
like to be sewn and knitted at;
and the mere whisper that a girl
collects prints, stamps, tropical
fish or African art is, alas, likely
to increase her solitude.

gies, one or two startling socia
hobbies. A girl might make q

didn't bring her and who lives

At some time in a woman's life,

little book she tells you a great

for example, it was thought de-
meaning for a lady to go INTO
business in New York. The stigma
of trade was too intolerable for
her to endure. 1t is true that oe-
fore 1900 a few ladies had dared
enter the professions, and that
was shocking enough. Julie Cru
ger and PUSSY" Wharton were
writing novels; Cora Potter and
Clara Bloodgood were acting IN
plays. Mary Cassatt and Lydia
Emmett were painting pictures,
while Mary Putnam, of all things
and of all people, was practicing
medicine.
But in 1900 a series of deton-
ating cataclysms rent the foun-
dations of New York society.
Four ladies of birth and position
suddenly, dramatically and stimuli
taneously went into trade. "Dodie
Osborn went into dressmaking;
Elsie de Wolfe became an interior
decorator; Kitty Candy took up
millinery, and Bessie Marbury
started a Broadway dramatic
agency. At the news of such 60
ings-on, the Social Register, then
in it's teens, shuddered and went
white. Nothing since the assassi-
nation of Marie Antoinette had so
threatened the fortress of Society.
For a year or so, the four bra
zen ladies continued to be classed
as outcasts; pariahs and figures
of shame. But courage was their
watchword; they persisted and
prospered. The result OF their
highly successful martyrdom was

Murden and Brumsey Will
= Pitch First and Second
Games for Jays
By PETE HASTE

The Jaybirds will engage the
crack Craddock, Va. nine Sunday
afternoon in a double header to
be played on Hunsucker field.
The first game will start at 2:3O
and there will be small advance
in prices.
1t is definite that the famous
Beef Treakle will toe the mound
for the Virginia club and he will
be faced by the ne and only be
specified Lloyd Murden. The
pitchers for the other game have
not been announced but Manager
Fearing Of the Jays will probably
start Lefty Brumsey. The Jays
will have new face in their line
up when they take the field for
the first game when Erwin Muir
den trotS to the outf1eld. Muir
den comes to the Jays highly re-
commended and it is expected
that he will make good addition
to the outfielding strength.
Manager Fearing will have his
same time that has been winning
games for him this year to put on
the field. Caddy will do the re-
celvlng with Harris on first,
Saunders on second. johnson on
third and Shirt Sawyer will be
back to handle the short field.
The outfield will probably con-
sist of Murden. Fearing and
White. Manager Fearing will
probably hold Tommie Lee and
S. B. Seymour in reserve to shoot
in the outfield at a moments
notice.
Manager Treak!e's Craddock
lineup is not known but it is Ger
tain that he will bring a fast mov-
ing and peppy team with him.
The Jays should be expecting one

Tomorrow they will 60 out on

this afternoon and the sea law

about decided the loss meant less
than nothing.
The defeat of Ranger-her
first less in IA starts-Was ac-

which the Big j Class SloopS had
to throw out hooks from time to
time to keep from drifting back
wards: and when a breeze did be-

The cup racers cannot be seen

of the time.

being laid on the general belief
that Iron Mike" Vanderbilt is a

sail them.
