TOE WOMAN WHO CRAVES
FOR LIFE OF EXCITEMENT
Work-as the Great Panacea for All Human Ills The
Continuous Pursuit of Pleasure Cannot
Possibly Bring Happiness
By ELLEN ADAIR
rr THE question were put to a group of
women: "What Is your chief object In
lift?" and If these women by Rome mira
cle -were forced to answer with perfect
truthfulness, many of
them would confess that
to them the chief end of
life Is the pursuit of
pleasure
The woman who lives
for pleasure alone Is a
product of tho times. She
Is a restless, dissatisfied
being, and she cannot
settle down to any fixed
ournose In life. It sha is
well ondowed with this world's, (roods, the
chances are that sho will make Bhlp
wreck of her life. For her circum
stances are such that she Is freed from
the necessity of earning her own living,
and to a woman of the pleasure-loving
type the necessity of earning her dally
oread la a veritable goascna, since it acts
as ballast to the frail bark of her lite.
The "Salamander" type of woman may
and probably does detest the work to
which her reluctant hands aro compelled
but at the same time It Is essential that
she accomplish that work, If she Is to
support herself adequately.
It Is an old and exceedingly trite say
ing that work Is the great panacea for
all human Ills. But it Is a very true
saying, all the tame. Tho continuous
pursuit of pleasure never did and never
could bring happiness or satisfaction to n
woman. Pleasure In Its right place la
fitting, but Its right place, should be at
the termination of some real work accom
plished, some task completed.
One continuous round of gaiety after a
srv short tlm hi.rnm. .tali, flit nnri
very short time becomes stale, flat and
unprofitable. The sauce loses its savour,
so to speak, and Is no longer even
palatable.
A woman of my acquaintance once told
me that she was the unhapplest being on
earth. Yet to all outward appearances
she had everything In the world that
could make her happy. Her fortune was
large, and she could afford to gratify
every whim. She had never known what
It meant to deny herself anything upon
which her heart was set. Her town house
was a model of all that was refined and
beautiful, and her two country houses
were perfection.
The husband of this woman had never
denied her a thing In his llfo. She had
been tho spoiled and petted darling of her
parents, and her husband had continued
the spoiling process. Her children were
strong and handsome, and she had given

METALLIC TRIMMINGS ALL
THE RAGE FOR EVENING WEAR
IOVELT autumn evening
J gowns are making
their Initial appearance In
the advance openings, par
ticularly In Paris. Tenden
cies toward the extremes
of fashion are seldom to
be seen the 1830 styles have
a decided vogue, and, gen
erally speaking, simplicity
Df line Is the favorite. This
Is one of the season's most
marked characteristics, and
has been heralded by most
of tho fashion writers be
fore this, after the open
ings at the famous Paris
ateliers.
Doeulllet shows many In
teresting and charming
frocks, among them a great
many with a tightly fitting
bodice of. colored panne,
rose, ttjiquolse or old gold,

or Vspangled ones. This

Been coming on for several
seasons, altnpugh the pop;
ularlty of " the sDaneld
gown has been somewhat
dimmed by beaded effects.
But. from what I under
stand, these two rivals for
feminine favor will exist
aide by side this winter, as
well-behaved rivals Bhould.
A prominent New York
designer gives this model
for a charming and effec
tive evening gown, fash
ioned out of tulle and metal
cloth. The foundation Is
made of flesh-colored pussy
willow taffetas, as most
foundations are being fash
ioned of the same this sea
son. The skirt has a smart
pointed tunlo of tulle, -with
edges of the silver tissue,
and a wide crushed girdle
of the same. Underneath
this a petticoat effect of
metal cloth, with a won
derful edge of metllio lace
peeps out. The bodice Is
oulto simple, with wide
angel" sleeves of white
tulle, and a slight camisole
style of the taffetas under
neath. The garland of gar
denias adds an Interesting
note of trimming.
About Styles
The long, tapering sleeve
seems to be the favorite.
The separate waist should
match the suit In color.
Beaver fur will be exceed
ingly smart this winter.

formaldehyde was added to the milk by

LETTER TO PEACE LOVER
Ms Views Commended Celebration
of Founding of Fraternnllsm
l Suggested
A proposal has been made to Henry
Ford, the millionaire philanthropist and
manufacturer, for him to lend hla co
operation to a movement intended to
bring about the erection of a monster
arch, monument, fountain or some other
sultablo memorial commemorative of
"Fcaco. Happiness and Frntcrnallsm," In
close proximity to tho shrlno of the na
tion's Liberty llejil,
Tho proposed memorial Is Intended ns
a "Peace Monument," and It is preferred
by tho originator that It occupy a Bite
on tho public squnro thnt he hopes will
bo located north Of Independence Square,
facing Chestnut street,
Tho letter to Mr. Kord wns written by j
Edward Nowton Hnag. who Is of tho be- 1
lief that Mr. Ford Is right In offering to
spend a million dollars nnd to exert his '
every effort to maintain peace through ,
fraternnllsm. I
Because ho believes thnt Justice nnd
fralcrnallsm nro directly or Indirectly
tho greatest shield for a nation to keep
It at pence, Mr. Hnag believes that tt
would bo tlttlng to honor the BOth anni
versary of tho founding of frntcrnallsm,
at Mendevllle, Ia by John Upchurch,
This anniversary comes on October 27,
1918.
Mr. Hang, after congratulating Mr,
Ford nnd John Wanamaker on their movo
for pence education, calls the former's
' attention to tho millions of men, women
iu:u I'luuircu 111 iimcniui urKuiiiziiuuna
throughout tho country who ho believes
would bo Interested In the erection of
euch a memorial. He nlso praises Presi
dent Wilson's efforts to maintain peace
ful terms with nil the countries of the
world.
Tho letter to Mr. Ford follows, In part:
"Tho dally papers of this city. In a
recent Issue, stnto thnt you recently an
nounced some of the things you will do
to start your proposed campaign for uni
versal pence; thnt you will set aside a
fund of $1,000,000 to begin an educational
campaign for peace and against prepared
ness, which you declared to bo tho causo
of all wars; that you will givo a cash
prize for tho writing of a history of the
wars of the world 'that shall not make
demigods of soldiers and shall show war
In all Its horror,' etc.
"You nre absolutely right In your
broad-minded nnd fraternal view of this,
the most Important matter in the world
at present, and likely to continue to be
such until It Is finally solved In accord
ance with the principle and precepts of
the Golden Rule.
"It Is nlso announced that Hon. John
Wanamaker will be a co-worker with
you In this noble work, so fully worthy
of the thought and efforts of such great
constructive men who aro not satisfied
with anything short of results nor afraid
to get out of the beaten parth.
"October 27, 191S, will bo the EOth an
niversary of tho founding of fraternt.!
Ism at Meadvllle, ,Pa., by "ohn Upchurch,
who was a humble blacksmith largely
unlettered, but whoso heart was In the
right place. He gathered about mm, I
believe, seven of his humblo companions,
and they founded the first fraternol or
der In America. Since that time up
wards of $3,000,000,000 have been paid by
tho 150 or more fraternal and beneficiary
orders In this country to orphans, widows
and beneficiaries. Annually there Is
about $150,000,000 paid out In this way.
There are fully 10,000,000 fraternallsts be
longing to something like 25,000 lodges
and other local organizations, covering
every city, village and hamlet In the en
tire country. Fully 50,000,000 of the peo
plo of the country are vitally Interested,
directly and Indirectly, in this great
work.
"Unquestionably It has been possible
for President Wilson and his co-laborers,
Including yourself, to conserve In this
country the blessings of peace when moro
than half of the rest of the world Is at
war. very largely because of the fra
ternal minds and hearts of the people.
They think differently from what they
did In bygone generations before good
old John Upchurch founded fraternallsm
in this country.
"You will be able to gather my thought
from tho Inclosed clipping, which, I
trust, you will find time to read. I be
lieve that every man. woman and child
In America would be vitally interested
In suitably honorng this EOth anniversary
of tho founding of fraternallsm In this
way. As you well understand, some vis
ible memorial like this erected to peace,
fraternallsm and happiness Is required to
express tho sentiments of the masses,
and it Is necessary for some one of fra
ternal zeal and ability like yourself to
lead tho way.
"I should be very glad to co-operate
with you In every way possible. Peace,
as you will know, Is largely a mental
condition. When all the people begin
to think about It and how to best carry
out tho precepts of the Golden Rule there
Is neither a demand nor a requirement
for a nation to be 'armed to the teeth.'
Justice and fraternallsm are, after all,
the greatest shield for a nation, as they
are for an Individual,
"Command me in any way you see
fit."

MRS. ROSALINE BRAUN
Mrs. Rosaline Braun Does Her Own Work When Ten
ants Find Their Homes in Need of Repairs.
A Feminine Philosopher
THERC is one woman In Philadelphia
who dopsn't havo to depend on tho
whim of tho painter or uaoerhnnaer when
sho wants to hnve her homo repaltod. Sho
Is Independent, absolutely abovo being
annoyed by such trivialities. Mr. Rosa
line Ilrnun does her own paperhanglng
and painting.
You can find Mrs. Braun any clear
day now busy on a Job thnt marks her
as a pioneer among women In that line
of work. She Is "pointing" a house. You
will see her perched high on a scaffold,
ns secure and confident as nny man
could be. And apparently sho is Just as
efficient.
Mrs. Braun lives on 81st street near
Suffolk avenue. Thnt is way down In
tho extreme southwestern end of the city,
In the section known as Elmwood. Sho
has lived there 14 years. There are four
brick houses In a row In that sparsely
built neighborhood which she owns, and
when repairs aro needed she doesn't hire,
workmen to make them unless It Is some
thing sho can't do herself. She thinks
nothing of hanging the wallpaper In a
room or applying a little paint.
"Why shouldn't I do it?" she asks, Just
as If It was quite the usual thing for a
woman.
NOT DAUNTED BY CONDITIONS.
The Job sho Is on now Is at the end
house of her little row. The tenants
complained that It was cold In the win
ter, and after an examination she made
a diagnosis. Sho came to the conclusion
that It was cold because the wind pene
trated the wall. All that was needed was
to fill In the apertures between tho bricks.
Sho could do this herself. So sho bad a
scaffold built and went to work.
She has been at It now flvo or six weeks
CASTLES ACCUSED
. OF FRAUD IN N. Y.
Dancers Charged With Misap
propriation of Funds
in Suit
NEW YORK, Sept. 13. Vernon and
Irene Castle, dancers, have been charged
with fraud and tfie misappropriation of
funds, In a suit filed In the Suprome
Court by Edwin Shaw. Another defend
ant Is the Ansatdt Company, Inc.
Mr. Shaw, who deals In restaurant fix
turcs, charges that the Castles and the
defendant corporation bought from him,
In 1913. the entlro equipment for a res
taurant opened In the Heldeberg Build
ing, at 42d street and Broadway, and
CKrced to pay on the Instalment plan.
To protect himself he took a chattel mort
gage on the furnishings.
The plaintiff alleges that Instead of
paying for tho furnishings tho defendants
and one Jules Ansaldl appropriated the
receipts to themselves, with the result
that ho Is out about $25,000 and Interest.
According to tho complaint, drawn by
Slrassborger &. BhalU-ck, Ansaldl was
made president of the corporation and
Vernon Castle secretary. Both were di
rectors. Tho restaurant opened In De
cember, 1913, and ran till March, 1914,
when the defendants defaulted In the pay
ment of Interest and the place was closed.
In describing how he came to lose his
money Shaw says In his affidavit:
"Tho Castles corruptly and fraudu
lently had dealings as officers and di
rectors contrary to their duty and In
violation of the law. By these corrupt
and fraudulent dealings the defendants
appropriated to their own use large
amounts of money belonging to the de
fendant company."
Mr. Shaw gives dates when he alleges
rome of the money was taken and speci
fies the amounts. He states that in De
comber, 1913, the month the restaurant
was started, "Vernon Castle drew from
the funds of the company $2000." Mrs,
Castle drow a like amount and "Ansaldl
was permitted to draw $2000."
In January, according to the affidavit,
each of the Castles drew $2333 and permit
ted Ansaldl to draw the same sum for
himself. In February all three drew $4000
each, and tho following month, Just be
fore the place was closed, the trio drew
$1333 each, It Is charged,

and Is almost finished. She only works
on tho scaffold between times and nover
lets this task Interfere with her house
hold duties, Sho Is not doing tho work
nil alone, for she has the assistance of a
man now who Is out of employment.
When she decided that tho houso ought
to bo pointed, sho obtained a bid on the
Job. Sixty dollars was the price asked.
"Nothing doing," sho said, and forth
with bought some mortar and had a scaf
fold built. A reporter watched her with
interest for several minutes as sho skil
fully wielded the trowel. Sho had climbed
a ladder and taken a position about half
way up the sldo of tho three-story build
ing. "WHY NOT?" SHE ASKS.
"Why not?" sho nBked when surprise
was expressed that sho should do sueh
work herself. Her accent when sho spoko
betrayed her German birth. Mrs. Braun
Is a widow, and It Is safe to say that she
Is on tho other side of the half-ccnturv
mark. Her sleeves were rolled above tho
elbow, exposing to view biceps that would
put many men to shame. It was plain
she was used to hard work.
"What are the women of Europe going
to do?" she queried. "Now that tho men
nro at war they have to do these things
and there Is no reason why they
shouldn't. If they can work, certainly I
can. I do all my own paperhanglng and
painting. You don't think I would pay
100 to havo this done, do you?"
Mrs. Braun sees nothing remarkable In
the work sho does. She believes all
women should work harder than they do:
and she says that If women did more of
their own work they wouldn't havo to
complain as much as they do about the
high cost of living.
