mind that she must be hiding from
Virgil with whom she had had some
fuss. Of him or the other two men,
I could see no sign.
Now but for the sight of the wom-
an, I should have at once descended
and taken the other trail, but whilst
I was still considering whether to
follow this course, the woman got
to her feet and stood perfectly still.
When I saw her do this, it came
to me in a flash that, unless the
woman was mad, she must be act
ing in concert with somebody else.
And so she was. Before two min
utes had passed, the chauffeur
appeared.
He made his way straight to her
side, when the woman handed him
something and then hurried out of
the ride and so out of my view.
Preparing to descend, I had
turned about and was standing upon
the branch with my hands on the
trunk, when the scream of a dog
in agony rent the ear. Half-turning
again, saw the chauffeur standing
where I had seen him last, holding
the dog at arms length by the
scruff of its neck and fogging the
luckless creature with all his might.
was just about to cry out when
heard galloping horse coming
down from the right, that, is to say,
from the circus from which the four
rides ran out.
Because of the leaves before me,
could not see it go by, but an
instant later bay flashed into my
view. On his back was a girl, and
the two were going full tilt down
the midst of the ride, and making
straight for the chauffeur still
thrashing the dog.
So for a second or less. Then the
bay turned head over heels and
the girl went flying beyond him, as
though shot out of gun.
I never saw such a fall in all my
life, but before / had time to think,
much less to descend, man and q
woman were rushing to where the
girl lay. They were, of course, the
two that came out of the car and
they must have been standing di-
rectly in line with the bay when he
came to the ground. And the chauf-
feur, too, was running as fast as
| he could.
The bay was up now and was
moving off through the bracken with
heaving TANKS, but the girl lay
crunpled up and perfectly still. To
my surprise, instead of attending to
her, the man and the woman be-
tween them lifted her up and began
to stumble with her towards my
oak. They passed directly beneath
me, seeming to think of nothing but
getting their burden along. Had this
been the carcase of a dog, they
could scarce have used it with less
propriety. The girl was dead or
senseless-I could not tell which:
but. instead of supporting her head,
they let this hang, and one of her
legs was suffered to trail on the
ground.
This was too much for me, and
at once ! began to go down; but,
for all my indignation, I could not
make haste, because, as I had
feared, the descent was twice as
stiff as the climb I had made.

Of Interest To Women

Have you a household problem to salve? Write your question clearly, sign your name and ad- dress, enclose a three-cent post age stamp and mail to The Woman's Editor, Washington Service B:reau, The Democrat, 1913 18th Street, Washington, D. C., for a personal reply.
 o. What is the proper way to hold 8 bottle when feeding a baby?
 A. Hold the baby in partly up- right position in your lap while he is taking the bottle. Hold the bot tie so that the nipple is constantly full of milk, not half full of air. If you allow the bottle to drop so that air enters the nipple, the baby as he sucks will swallow large quantities of air which later must be eructed.
 0. Does powdered whole milk contain all the nutritious properties of whole milk?
 A. Yes, except that it is moisture free.
 o. What can be done with jelly that has failed to set?
 A. If it is fairly acid and gives a good pectin test, it may be reboiled for five to seven minutes. If, how ever, it seems to become more sirupy instead of jelly-like as it boils, and persists in threading from the spoon instead of shooting of, then it needs to have acid, or pectin, or

outwit the law, and girls and women became part of 8 picture, new in the nations gallery.
 Then, too, girls now are in brisi- ness and competing with men. whose former status it was to pro- vide for their women. The girl tat home" today feels a sort of guilt if she is not doing something" or pre- pairing for her own economic sec curity. A picture not calculated to untangle the perplexing problem of marriage.
 In short, our boys and girls have done remarkably well in their pres- ent artificial set-up. Where will they go from here? That is what they want to know. What can we say to them? I have no real answers for perplexed parents. Each parent and each adolescent must do the best he can.

 Along with the traditional baskets, it would be a fine thing if, in the coming year, not-too-busy women (and cities and towns are filled with them) would decide to give little of their surplus time and energy to help improve the conditions that make basket giving necessary.
 
 Lots of women play bridge three and four afternoons week. Would mt it be good idea for bridge club, whose members are already a little weary of each others small talk and bidding idioSyncraSieS, to put their facial money into renting big house and turning it into a nursery for children whose mothers have to work, and where servant less mother might leave child while she had an occasional afternoon o1 recreation? Each bridge club mem- Der would only have to give one day week, or one every two weeks to actual work.
 Or a not-too-busy woman might get into politics and work for some badly needed reforms. Or enlist her services with some big charitable organization. The constr uctive things a fairly intelligent woman with time on her hands can do are limitless.
 And such a spreading out of the good will that hits the average woman once a year would pay big dividends, in her own life. Busy helpful women who are doing inn portant work have glow about them that no beauty parlor has for sale.

 In addition to perfume, cosmetic kits, concentrated bath oil and other beauty gifts that will make her feel more glamorous, almost any woman on your Christmas list would like to receive a few of the more neces- sary, perhaps more practical, beauty items that will help her to retain her good looks longer and eliminate few of her complexion faults.
 To the friend who always is complaining to you about her large pores and oily skin, yoy might send a kit of preparations designed especially to cure an oily condition. A jar of mask cream will be appreciated by anyone over twenty-five and a big jar of all-purpose cream by anyone ur- der that age.
 If you aren't just sure which shade of lipstick she likes but want to send a lipstick anyway, simply enclose in the box the ad- dress of the manufacturer with a note to the effect that she can ex- change it by mail if local store doesn't happen to have that par ticular brand.
 A manicure kit, containing the essentials for 8 complete home manicure plus an extra bottle or two of nail polish, is sure to be appreciated. Pedicure kits ol combination manicure and pedicure types are ideal, too.
 If she takes pride in her hands kit containing hand lotion, ricf cream and loose, pale pink cotton gloves to wear at night after cream has been applied might please her very much.
 And, of coulse, brushes of al types are worth consideration. Ii you want to please her witt something fairly practical, by al means send a hair brush or a long handled bath brush or a short handled one for the shower. Mai and foot brushes make nice stock ing presents.

 I find several things to be true about our older-teen boys and girls of today. First, they are victims or a system. Second, of social environ ment. Third, they lack faith in themselves and their future through the dismal propaganda of their eld- CTS about economic security.
 They live even more luxuriously than their forebears on one hand, and lack opportunity to prove mi- tiative. courage and adventure on the other hand. That is, in many cases this is true.
 No More Frontier
 There is no more west" to be conquered, no more profitable prizes to be gained in new fields. Things are fixed in grooves. They have to follow these grooves, often irksome and unpromising to the swelling ambitions of youth.
 They are kept in school to make room for the older workers. Mar riage, formerly the right of man of twenty-one or two and the girl of nineteen, is vague and unat- tainable star today to dream about but hardly to be counted upon. Not yet.

distress" Bias ko claimed, in urg-
ing a taxing system whereby money
would be driven into circulation.
''Too much money is tied up in
tax exempt securities. from which
the class that I term 'money-mon-
opolizers' draws a constant revenue
in interest that must be paid by
the average citizen. AS more bonds
are issued, more taxes must be paid
TO meet their interest. The average
citizen pays the bill and the money
monopolizer escapes relatively tax
free"
Taxing present securities that are
tax free would be valueless, Blas'ko
declared, for it would merely mean
an automatic boost in interest rate.
Therefore. he recommends a limit
on the amount of tax free bonds
one individual may hold.
THE crying need" Blasko said,
'is to get money into a position
where we can tax it, in order to
take part of the burden off the
ordinary citizen. My program, l be-
lieye, would drive money from the
tax-free securities to property that
could be levied upon"
One salient feature of his plan
is TO allow one home for each per-
son. or married couple, absolutely
tax free Any additional homes,
however would be taxed. The one
home. he points out in a pamphlet
called The Home" (Tax-Free)
which has had wide circulation,
would be to allow an individual
to avoid complete loss in the event
his income falls below its normal
level
Naturally, this would cause nee
essary revenue to fall off, Blasko
pointed out, but he recommends
making up the difference by rails
ing income and sales taxes. The |
rise in sales tax. however, would |
not apply to the necessities of life |
such as food and clothing and |
medical supplies.
''What taxing systems do not
