Until the End of the Chapter, and Should Act Accordingly

By ELLEN ADAIR
THE .old adage assure;! us that " thing
of beauty Is a, Joy forever," and wo aro
fall dull willing to believe It. Bui some
Mlme beauty Isn't exactly ft Joy to lti
tfssesur. and brings with It quite ft num-
Esbtr of disadvantages nnd tester trials and
itfibulatlons.
For instance, thero are many tilings
vlilch never are forgiven a pretty girl;
I things which her plain Meter tan do
every day of that unattractive damsel's
life with perfect Impunity! This seems
Erjcarcely consistent, but It Is none the
teqs true i nave noticed mo (act a nun
dred times and see ample proof thereof
on occasions too frequent to enumerate.

K Ways be particularly circumspect about
ner oenavior on every occasion, wniis
llaln Jane can do all manner of odd and
!?, unexpected things and no one wilt crltl
else her for a moment.
t Listen to what ft really experienced
, bachelor says on the subject. Ho speaks
fuono with authority, too.
"I believe that In many eyes tne (act
rof a girl's being pretty," ho Informs me,
"Is nn obvious pro
supposition that she
laclts propriety or
that If she doesn't
she ought to. Things
that nn ugly girl

Mrs. arundy, hope
lessly Impossible In
a protty one.
"T h o argument
fCx
from Mrs, Grundy's slclo Is, I will ndmlt,
founded on a tiny substratum of truth,
though It Is a very thin one. A girl who
lias really beautiful eyes Is always sus
pected of handing them round to alt
nnd sundry In gencrouo and Injudicious
doses', oven If It Is only because they nro
bo beautiful. No one would Buspect her
plain sister, who has ono eyo perma
nently skidding In the opposite direction
to tho other, of over cherishing a for
lorn hopo that sho can attract attention,
however hard sho might really try."
All the samo I am Inclined to think that
-It Is very hard on the pretty girl to bo
the constant target or feminine criticism.
and by no means charltablo criticism at
that. People will, of course assure you
that In this world tho law of compensa
tion Is always operating, and that things
aren't as unequally divided as they seem.
Plain Jnno can act as Indiscreetly ns she
pleases, and by this very law of compen
sation no one will say an unkind word
concerning her dubious doings, nut the
pretty girl can't stir hand or foot without
arousing all sorts of uncharltablo re
marks, generated, of course, by her less
highly favored sisters.

not so much the
fact that they them

that other people

It are sniffs, raised
eyebrows and up

I have In mind two girls of my ac
quaintance, ono very pretty, the other
decidedly Ill-favored, who are examples
of the peculiar ways of Mrs. Grundy.
Tho pretty girl Is so nttractlve that the
men are crazy about her, and sho has so
many Inventions that sho doesn't know
what to do with them all. I have nlways
considered her as particularly discreet,
for sho shows discrimination In Iter choice
of friends and she never by any manner
of means goes out of her way to run
after tho male of tho species. In fact,
sho runs away from them most of the
time.
On those 'occasions, however, when tho
determined ndmlrers won't nllow her to
run away, but become so persistent that
sho does nltow hciself to be persuaded
Into a llttlo mild dissipation In tho form
of matinees nnd dancing, tho elderly
spinsters and female Qrundys of her ac
quaintance hold up hands In holy horror.
"That girl Is always In the company of
men," they declare with righteous wrath.
"It is dlsgustlngl"
Tho other girl Is so unattractlvo that
the men don't bother at alt with her.
But she chases them
with nn ardor
worthy of a better
cause. The greater
part of her days Is
spent In waylaying
unsuspecting nc
qualntancen. t o 1 e-
phonlng, nnd a whole
host of peculiar do
ings which savor of
Impropriety.
But no ono criti
cises her except tho
men, of course nnd
In this argument
they don't count.
Mrs. urunay Hasn't a word to say
against hor. But if tho pretty girl In
dulged In one-half tho antics of the plain
girl, then anathema would befall her!
Tho damsel who Is good-looking, there
fore, whllo remaining discreet to tho end
of the chapter, must expect that femlnlno
criticism will nlways befall hor. It is the
penalty of her beauty, and she will resnrd
It ns something inevitable and not really
to bo worried over.
TEACHING "LITTLE JIOTIIERS"
HOW TO CARE FOR BABIES
Recreation Centres tho Scenes of In
struction for Girls.
She was such a little girl, It seemed al
most as If she ought to have been cud
dled heresclf, but, no, indeed, she had
outgrown that stage, and the serious look
ou her childish face and tho BOlemn, care
ful manner In which she turned the doll
baby over as she scientifically put its
clothes on indicated that she belonged
to that vast class of kiddles known as
tne little mothers" which modern econo
mic conditions havo made necessary In
every big city.
Yesterday was "little mothers' " day.
Two thousand strong they nssemblcd In
the recreation centres all over tho city In
order to make themselves moro proficient
In the business of mothering their llttlo
brothers and sisters.
Sixty-five teachers voluntarily forsook
tho cool breezes of their suburban sum
mer retreats and camo Into town to super
Intend the Instruction. A trained nurse
was on hand at each centre to explain in
detail and to demonstrate with dolls' the
scientific caro of babies. Some of tho
pupils were scarcely out of the baby
class themselves.
Similar Instruction will be given every
Tuesday throughout the summer, nnd the
Child Federation, which is directing the
woWt, expects the Infant mortality to be
materially decreased by the educational
campaign.
Dressy "Waists
The dressy waist, which takes more
the form of a dress bodice, is made to
match the tklrt. Sometimes these waists
uro touched up with a contrasting color.
White is frequently used In the collars,
cuffs, vestB, buttons and other trimmings.
White !( especially used on navy blue
and black.
A chemise blouse of filet net and lace
in the natural color has a skirt part of
black chiffon. The blouse belts slightly
below tho normal waistline, but the effect
of a lower line is given by the continua
tion of the lace belc.v the ribbon belt.
Stitched to tho tall of tho blouse Is a
hem of black chiffon. This blouse has
no other opening than that at the neck
and slips on over the head. It Is of the
almost shapeless kimono cut, but the
long sleeves aio fitted snugly to the arms
from half-way below the elbow to the
wrist, where they nra almost skin tight.
The colhir and Inside vest qro of flesh
colored moussellne de sole. This trans
parent, bodice la worn over a gulmpe
bodice of flesh-colored moussellne.
A dressy blouse is in a combination of
black chiffon and black velvet ribbon,
the latter forming tho lower third of
the blouse and tho cuff bands. ISmbrold
cry In Oriental colors relieves the sober
tones of the materials.
An attractive linen blouse of lavender
Is trimmed with white linen. The front
panel of the waist buttons straight up
to the collar, forming one continuous
tine. The Hleovas are long, with cuffs
trimmed with the buttons.
Clothes for Stay-at-Homes
Summer clothes seem all to be designed
especially for the woman who goes away.
Summer hats, parasols, frocks and foot
gear seem made especially for seashore
and oeaan skies, country clubs and gar
den parties, nd the woman who mvfst
stay In the city, must toll In the ofnea
through July and August or stay stead
fastly at hem to keep open the town
bouaa fqr her tolling buaitatvd. doesn't
saara ta figure to the Imagination of the
dressmaker who designs summer apparel
far women.
All our elothaa are holiday clothes, any
way, nowadays. Our grandmothers would
have bean horrified at tba fllmy daintiness
of the clothes we wear none of which
seems to be built for the practical things
of Ufa
A simple delaine or alpaca everdsy
dress that our mothers wore has no
counterpart In the present-da) feminine
wardrobe, at least ui tbht country The
housewife who keapa no maUl wean silka

HAD YOUR HAIR CURLED
BY MONSIEUR X? IT'S
A PERMANENT WAVE
Takes Four or Five Hours
of the Coiffeur's Time,
and It Costs a Lot, but
Those Curls Endure All
Summer.
A perfect wave Is sweeping over the
city. This Isn't a Joke either tho wave
or the perfection as you would quickly
discover did you but Btart out to Inter
view tho hairdressers of tho town. You
go to sco Monsieur X, for Instance. A
neatly colffcd maid at the entrance dis
penses tho Information that he cannot
bo scon until late, very late In tho eve
ning. For why? MonBlcur X Is engaged
In effecting a perfect wave permanently
In tho hair of ono of his clients.
Not to bo discouraged you decide to
step around the corner and see Madame
It. A neatly colffed counterpart of Mon
sieur's clerk greets you with her well
known smile. Madamo It. could not pos
sibly bo disturbed. The roason7 Madamo
Is creating the perfect wavo In Mrs.
Blank's blond tresses.
And thus after your shoe lenthcr has
grown thin and tho afternoon has waxed
Into night, tho Impression is borne In on
you that the entlro feminine population
of the city Is engaged In having the per
fect permanent wavo put Into Its hair.
Harly In the morning you beard tho
hairdresser in his den to find out Just
what thte epidemic that is sweeping over
tho city Is. Monsieur who Is usually so
cordial and. willing to dispense his infor
mation, greets you absent-mindedly.
"We must talk quickly," he says, get
ting out his tongs and tonics, "for in a
fow mlnutco I have some clients coming
who are to have perfect permanent wavo
treatment and as it is a delicate pro
cess I cannot then bo disturbed."
When at last you have cornered him
you discover that the permanent wave
Is not a new thing. In fact It made its
appearance so long as two years ago,
but It Is only recently that It has been

perfected, and only In tho last few months
hnve reputable hair dressers been willing
to take the responsibility of subjecting a
patron's head to tho process without first
warning her that he would not bo re
sponsible for what might happen.
In other words, though tho secret of
making straight hair curly lmfl been
known to tho hair dresser's art for Bomo
time past, tho secret of making the curls
without Injuring tho hair nnd destroying
the healthy growth has only recently been
discovered.
"When a woman would como In hero
formorly," Baid tho coiffeur, explaining,
"nnd demand curls at any price, a hair
dresser who cared for his reputation
would explain to her that tho process
was not only nn exceedingly tedious one.
but that It was also a very precarious
ono nnd that unless sho had nn excep
tionally healthy suit of hnlr sho would
likely find It very drying and Injurious.
"But wo havo experimented and now
a method hna been evolved which can be
safely applied to almost any head. In
stead of tho old baking method, thero Is
a new process which does not dry out
tho natural oils of the scalp and our
patrons who all their life time have
longed In vain for curly tresBC3 that did
not havo to bo crimped dally with the
Irons or metal crimper nro clamoring for
this new method. Thereforo wo havo llt
tlo time these days, for wo aro busily en
gaged in curling the heads of our patrons
who are going to tho Bcashoro and wish
to havo tho permanent wave before start
ing." Strictly speaking, however, this wavo
13 not really permanent. It lasts about
six months, or until tho hair grows out
Btralght and then tho young hnlr muBt
bo subjected to the process If It Is to be
In harmony with tho curled portion.
For tho privilege of having curly locks
one must pay 123 If one's head Is to be
done down to the last strand. Many
women, however, deslro only thnt their
front locks bo crimped and the price then
Is reduced to $15. An even more compre
hensive wave thnn this, not, however,
covering tho entlro head, can be had for
120, And considering that tho perfect
permanent wavo requires from four to
llvo hours of the coiffeur's exclusive and
most scrupulous attention, It la exceed
ingly cheap at tho prlco.
Summer Gloves
Qloves in the city In the summer are
Indispensable, even In theso glovcless
days; and despite all fads for freak glov
ing, nothing Is more nttractlve than the
wash white glove. Prejudlco against the
washnblo cotton glove Is a thing of the
past and now the white, cream or oyster
glove of fabric Is as desirable as the more
expensive doo-skln or chamois glove.
Fashionable dress kid gloves are also sat
isfactory, although for tho warmest
'weather these are not so comfortable as
the fabric gloves.
Separate wash blouses are ?ver tho
standby of the woman who dresses for
summer comfort. This year tho vollo
blouses are perhaps the coolest. They
launder well, too, which Is another point
to their credit. They should bo bought In
a eIzo larger than that which answers in
a silk blouse, however, for tho vollo nl
most Invariably shrinks. White wash silk
blouses, which have the one disadvantage
of turning cream colored when washed In
hot weather, are also comfortable and at
tractive. Woman's Sphere
They talk about a woman's sphere as
though It had a limit;
There's not a place In Karth or Heaven,
There's not a task to mankind given,
There's not a, blessing or a woe,
There's not a whispered yes or no
There's not a life, or death, or birth,
That has a feather's weight of worth
Without a woman In It

OUn of the wonders of this 20th century
Is the way the most feminine of
women undertake, without much prece
dent to baok them up, to do a man s-slze
Job and then get awny with It.
Just looking at Mrs. IJ. C. Holman, with
her soft, white hair and her pretty blue
eyes and noting her modest, retiring man
ner, It seems almost Impossible to bcllovo
that she wa among tho first women ar
chitects of America, nnd so far as avail
able records go to Bhow, tho only really
ucrr?ful practicing woman architect
Philadelphia has ever had.
Nor does It seem quite credible that 20
years ago a young woman could blaze tho
trail 3f n profession now to her sex nnd,
without any mascullno aid whatsoever,
havo to her credit tho planning, single
handed, of opera houses nnd theatres,
nrMontlnitn rotlilences of Prominent folk
and Innumerable homes for more pcoplo
than It would havo been possible to Keep
any account of.
It's true, nevertheless. Two decades
ngo. In a day when you could count the
women architects of tho world on tho
fingers of your ono hand, Mrs. Holman
entered tho ofllco of nn nrchltect pre
sumably to do clerical work. It wasn't
two weeks, however, beforo sho felt that
If sho tried very hard and kept her eyes
and ears open tcry wide she too could
becoma an architect.
HAD AltTISTIC ABILITY!
Protty soon It was felt around that ofllco
that tho new clerk had an nrtlstlc eyo for
designing, nnd it wasn't long beforo the
entlro staff got Into tho habit of asking
her advice about plans, consulting her
about specifications nnd sometimes even
getting her to do tho actual drawing. Fi
nally alio realized that in everything but
name she was really and truly an archi
tect. "I thought then," sho said smltlng,"rcm
Inlsclng," out nt her summer homo In
Qermnntown over tho enrly days when
she started In, "that I might Just as well
como out In tho open and bo known for
what I was, nnd so I went Into business
for myself and opened my own ofllco."
Practicing nrchitccturo 20 years ago was
very much like writing novels In tho lSlh
nnd 19th centuries. If a woman wanted to
Indulge, It wns safest to mask her Identity
under a masculine-sounding nom de
plume.
It was thus that E. F. Holman mado a
name for hcrFelf. In some cases when
her clients discovered that It was a
woman with whom they wcro Intrusting
tho building of their homes they with
drew their orders, being persons of llttlo
faith In feminine ability. But In tho ma
Jorlty of cbbcs all that was asked was
that tho architect "deliver tho goods,"
and this being done satisfactorily, Mrs.
Holmnn was forgiven for being a woman.
"I remember once, though," she said, "1
had an order from Now York and my
client called mo on the long distance. Ho
asked for 'K. n. Holman.' 'This Is n. E.
Holman,' I replied. 'I wnnt to apeak to
E. E. Holman, tho nrchltect,' he said se
verely. SURPRISED HIM.
"I explained," hho continued, "timidly
and ns best I could thnt I wns E. E, Hol
man, tho architect. 'Is E. E. Holman a
woman?' ho naked ferociously. On being
told the truth ho put down the receiver
nnd I havo nover heard from him since."
Despite such Instances as t'nese, how
ever, many people showed a liking for the
designs which, camo from the E, E. Hol
man ofllco, and It was not long before
Mr. Garden Toad
AL1I1 morning long tho boes hummed
back and forth around tho garden.
Every tlmo Tommy Tittlo-mouso stuck
his head out of his homo he heard that
faint "hum, hum!" now loud, showing
that thoy woro near, now soft and faint
In tho distance. But ho would take no
chances not he! Ho wns afraid to leave
his nest for a minute for fear tho bees
would enter it while ho was gone. You
see, ho liked his homo so well himself
that he couldn't but think the bees must
bo wanting It, too you know how that
feeling goes yourself!
So he stayed tight in tho back corner
of his home nil morning nnd he kept
his llttlo mate closo beside him for com
pany and for protection. And that was
why ho know nothing of what happened
in the cordon. Knew nothing, till late In
tho afternoon, when Mr. Gnrdcn Toad
hopped up to tho door of his home,
called him out and told him all the
events of tho day.
Tommy waa bo Interested! Ho and
Mrs. Tommy sat there In the dimming
afternoon light nnd blinked and blinked
nnd were bo RELIEVED! You would
have been, too. If you had been bo fright
ened as they were by Bluey nnd then ha'd
heard all that Mr. Garden Toad had to
say. Listen! This is what ha told
them:
"After tho bees had been turned out
of their nice new home by Ned's upset
ting the box they chased him round and
tound the house."
"But they didn't blto him?" asked
Tommy, Interrupting; "seems to mo I
have heard that bees bite."
"Not bite." corrected Mr. Garden Toad
with dignity: "bees sting. Yes, they did
sting him, but you must not stop the
story. They slung him because ho both
ered them and that does not concern
us." Tommy felt so rebuked he Just
sat Mill the rest of the time and said
not another word. So Mr. Garden Toad
continued:
"They chased him round and round
the house till he was ready to promise
never, never to touch a bee's home again
(though to tell the truth he didn't know
thero was a. bees' nest In the box nnd I
think they might have been a little
kinder to him, but of course that's none
