WOMAN AND " THE " HOMNESUMMErIfASHIONS AND IDEAS-PRIZE SUGGESTION
PROBLEM OF THE WOMAN WHO DIDN'T
CARE AND THE GREAT ADVENTURE
Does the Feminine Heart-Breaker' Really Take All and Give
Nothing in Return?
By Ellen Adair
A SAD little story Appeared not very
long ago In the papers wherein ft
young man of "great pos.eslon" lost
those selfsame possessions and went oft
to the wilds of Africa to take up perma
nent abode In the backwoods. And nil
becauso of a woman of course! I say
"of course" advisedly, because Mn these
queer, out-of-the-way happenings it gen
erally Is a case of "Cherches la femme"!
A woman Is at tho bottom of a good deal,
you know, although she never will admit
that fact.
Out In tho wilds of Africa I don't
know why on earth they always chooso
Africa, theso disappointed swains, but
somehow they always dol there Is a
large army of blighted male beings whoso
lives have been spoiled by tho ravages
of sorno woman or other, somo human
vamplro who took all and gavo nothing,
not even a little love. And so they de
termined to a'llt tho world nnd lt fol
lies tho latter, of course, Interpreted In
tho femlnlno gender and to drag out
their destiny somewhero far, very far,
from the disturbing atmosphero of frocks
and frills. Substituting tho rustle of tho
Jungle for tho rustic of the Bklrt may bo
soothing, but at tho snmo time It must
be a bit lonesome.
In tho Great Adventure men ore
popularly supposed to como out victori
ous, their triumphant pathway strewn
with a flattering medley of femlnlno
hearts. I3ut tho revcrso side of tho pic
ture happens qulto as frequently, nnd
the femlnlno vnmplro works qulto as
devastating havoc In things nmorous as
does oven tho most Incorrigible of mas
culine flirts. Her work Is more Insidious,
for In affairs of tho henrt sho has an un
erring Instinct, and "the female of tho
species Is moro deadly than tho male."
The woman In tho newspaper story who
was the means of driving the young man
"of great possessions" out of his posses
sions nnd Into tho wilds of Africa really
had acted rather badly. As I said before,
she had taken pretty well nil that sho
could take except tho ono thing he wished
most to glvo her hlB name. His time, his
love, his money, even his honor, had
been swallowed up speedily by her and
then she wound up the whole proceedings
by marrying the other man. In so doing
she really rendered one excellent service
to the misguided youth, but he wns In no
condition to nppreclnte the blessing In
disguise.
There are some people who are quite
convinced that the men run off to the
backwoods to avoid the pursuit of some
woman or other. Nothing of the sortl
They run off because some woman has
hurt them so badly that they want to
bury themselves and their sorrows far
from commiserating eyes. It Is a sort of
animal Instinct, this hiding of a mortal
heart wound.
However, It may prove Interesting, If
not Illuminating, to listen to contrary
opinion. "It Is a well-known fact," de
clares one woman writer, "that though
111" tho process of evolution of mankind
man came first nnd woman after, woman
has rever'sed tho procedure ever Blnce.
There Isn't a woman living, or dead, who
at ono time or another hasn't Inaugu
rated a man-hunt of her own. This being
so, I con quite understand why It Is, If It
Is ns I was told tho other day, that nine
out of every ten white men In Nigeria
are out there to get away from some
woman.
"I suppobo even tho most Intrepid of
husband-hunters wouldn't venturo Into a
climate totally unsultcd to nny femlnlno
comnlcxlon. whether manufactured or
guaranteed a strictly homo-mado prod
uct. And even nn abundanco of natural
cozy corners In tho way of palms and
ferns nnd shade would hardly compen
sate for tho chanco of a Hon Interrupting
at tho wrong moment. Still It seems a
long wny for tho men to go on the
chance of escaping matrimony. I am
not a feminist, but I can't help hoping
that the Nigerian ladles may get a llttlo
of our own back. I shouldn't wonder If
they did. After all, their skins may bo
dusky, but they must havo Inherited
something from Eve, even if it is only
her costume I"
This explanation of the backwoods sit
uation Is entirely unconvincing, and, In
my opinion, tho femlnlno heart-breaker
han much to answer for.

Here Is a home-made clothes closet for
the woman who has little room. Buy four

3Iake tho top of a square board, covered
on both sides with the cretonne, and hung

hook. The sides are held together by
snap fasteners. Tho Insido of the board
at the top has a rod, attached to two
screweyes, from which the hangers are
suspended. The bottom Is also covered

A Sunshine Peacemaker
A TALL stately daffodil held its head
proudly nnd looked around at tho
world. "I am so tall and beautiful," It
said, "that I wonder other flowers do not
get discouraged and refuse to try to
bloom. They can never be as beautiful as
I am, poor things 1"
Down at the daffodlll's feet there grew
b, common dandelion. Just a common,
everyday dandelion such as grew toy tho
million along every roadside.
When tha daffodill first saw the dan

Don't you know that this Is a well

The poor little dandelion hung Its head
and replied, "I'm sorry if I have done
wrong, but now that I am here, I can
not leave. I must stay and bloom as
best I can. Won't you please forgive
me?"
That I will not," said the daffodill ar
rosantly, "you have no business to come
here In the Jlret placet"
"I didn't come," said the dandelion
metfelYi, "jftSSi blown here. I would fan

"Then why didn't you stay there?"

From the Cottage Window
Gavin Cuthbert tossed feverishly about
his great four-post bed muttering broken
sentences. His mother . strained every
nervo In nn effort to catch tho words.
Perhaps her mother love could fathom
somo slight longing In her son's ravings.
As she bent over him to smooth his
rumpled hair sho caught the word
"music." It was repeated ngaln nnd
again with an nccent of longing
Mrs, Cuthbert stood suddenly erect.
Why had she been so dense7 Gavin loved
music nnd through his delirium his very
soul was calling for It.
Bhe quickly enumerated her musical
friends and realized that her task would
be difficult! It was August nnd the city's
population was scottered brondenst. She
and Mr. Cuthbert had returned from tho
lalo of Wight at tho first Intimation of
their son's Illness. They were now In
"Klngcroft," their country estato In
Mottlnghnm,
To find some one who could wield the
power of song? Mrs. Cuthbert's hand
was on tho boll to order the landau for
her drive to tho station when she stopped,
An Idea had suddenly presented Itself.
Often when driving down the lane, Mrs.
Cuthbert had heard a woman's volco cmn
nntlng from a tiny, wlstarla-coered cot
tage that nestled Just off tho road Be
yond tho fact that a Mrs. Wallace nnd
her daughter from America occupied "The
Cottage," Mrs Cuthbert's knowledge wns
limited. Feeling that tho volco that came
from "Tho Cottage" would appeal to
Oavln she did not hesitate in her purpose.
Ten minutes later, the heavy gate of
"Tho Cottage" swung back Admitting her
to tho sweet-smelling gardens. When a
young girl with two thick braids of
golden hair answered tho fnll of tho brass
knocker Mrs. Cuthbert faced a very
beautiful picture framed In the low door
way. Tho wlld-roso cheeks of tho girl
doepencd In color, It was seldom that a
stranger from the golden world called nt
"The Cottage." However, sho led Mrs.
Cuthbert Into a mlnlnturn drawing room
which oppressed tho artistic tempera
ment In ovcry detail.
"I hope Introductions nro unnecessary
In so small n community," begnn tho
elder womnn with a smile.
"I havo come on n peculiar mission,"
sho continued, "but mnny thlngn nro per
missible whero Illness calls I am going
to nsk a very great favor of you, Miss
Wallace."
"I hono Mr. Oavln Is no"
"No he Is no worse, but he calls for
music Incessantly, and I was nt a loss
what to do when I remombered having
hoard a glorious volco creeping through
theso little casement windows " Mrs.
Cuthbort turned with a charming gesture
to Indicate tho windows, around which
rose buds wcro peeping.
"Will you come and sing to my son7"
sho asked.
Tho wistful nppenl In tho mother's eyes
went straight to tho girl's heart,
"I shall como with vou as soon as I
can wind up my hnlr."
"It looks so pretty as It Is," coaxed
Gavin's mother, running a hand down two
silky braids, "and It can't havo been 'up'
very long."
She had her way, and a few momenta
later Ruby Wnll.ico was sitting nt Ga
vin's piano, which wns visible through
tho doorway of his private slttlngj-oom.
Gavin's eyes opened slowly; then rested
on tho profile of n girl "who seemed to bo
nil del ft bluo and gold; an aureola of sun
shono on her hood and trailed down her
back, where It endod In two silky tassels.
Gavin raised himself on ono arm nnd
tried to sco If tha eyes of this picturo
matched the gown. His concentrated
gazo drew her attention nnd sho turned
to meet his eyes.
"Yes, they nro blue a tone darker
than come hero!" ho called Then,
when sho stood beside him, "Are you
real?" AVIth a whimsical smile ho
stretched out a doubting hand.
Ruby smiled. "Oh, yes; very, very
real."
"You know," he continued, holding fast
to her hand, "I Imagined that I was en
tering another world and that you were
there to welcome me with your music,
but" his volco became sQfter "you havo
brought me to life In our own world "
Ho raised her hands to his lips before
letting them go. "Where Is mother?"
His mother had risen at sound of her
name and dropped on her knees beside
the bed. "My son."
"Llttlo mother It is good to bo back
with you." he said.
The girl went quietly out
The following days saw Ruby at the
patient's piano very often. And It was
not long before he was ushered back to
the glory and strength of life.
Lato ono afternoon when they had fin
ished tea nnd the twilight shades added
harmony to an already great friendship,
Gavin voiced a well-matured thought.
Under the lightness of his words his
voice rang with a steadiness of purpose.
"Miss Wallace, I am going to Inflict a
heavy punishment on your arts for hav
ing wielded their powers over mo when
I was too III to resist." Ho looked up
to meet an Interested glance from his
mother and a startled ono from tho girl.
"I shall send you to some terrible muslo
master who will make you breathe from
your diaphragm and place tones In your
head until you are completely his slave.
When that Is accomplished you are to
como back and show the world of art
what a really great voice Is."
The girl was silent; two large tears
gathered in her eyes. When she spoke
her voice was low, but the quality spoka
volumes. "I can say nothing at present

One evening, after threo years had

Ho turned and caught her In his arms.
