FINANCIAL RECOMPENSE AS
. A FEMININE HEART BALM
J0 .
Ht Who Loves and Runs Away May Have the Unhappy
Experience of Paying for
His Folly
By ELLEN
AN lNTEnESTINO caso has recently
XX arisen In tbe court, wherein a dis
appointed maiden brings tult against a
recalcitrant lover to the tune of S10O0
and ulna out, too unfor
tunatYty for the fickle
suitor! The point "it the
matter l that the latter
fSlJa. Is under Jl jears of age,
and the Judge hesitated
I long In deciding whether
or not he was morally
responsible for the prom
ise made and broken.
The plaintiff put In her claim on the
grounds of expenses of trousseau nnd
time expended on the same, nnd further
more demanded that she must receive
compensation for the humiliation she had
Buffered through loverly defalcation!
Of course we all have -heard .that old 1
tale before when the once gallant Knigm
kisses and then rides awny, his lady lovo
U naturally huhilllated. But why sho
should add to that unfortunato sensation
of shame In nlrlng her grievances puo
Hcly In the law courts Is a mystery! e
are all willing to believe that In the first
Instance she Is humiliated. It Isn't at
all flattering to be calmly told that one's
charms are not sufficient for the holding
of what once was masculine adulation.
But to take the public Into one's con
fidence In the matter and to demand
financial compensation Is simply to drag
one's pride deeper through the mtrc.
It la surprlslng.tb note how many girls,
who outwardly appear as gentle and as
meek as lambs, will suddenly change their
gentle little bleat to a much louder nnd
more querulous cry If Jheln. lovers show
algns of slipping! The man who falls In
love pro tem. with fluffy-headed little
Dolly Brown gets a sad awakening at
such period when he tries tactfully to
back out of the affair, and finds that
Dolly has an overdeveloped sense of the
legal In the matter. For such an ap
parently foolish llttlo creature, she shows
an extraordinary acquaintance with the
law and the turnings and twlstlngs there
of. She shows her quondam lover a disconcerting-
familiarity with previous
"suits," "contracts" and "necessities," a
fact that might have filled him with ad
mlratlon had such genius been applied
to any one else save himself.
It Is scarcely edifying this dally re
cording in the papers of maidens all for-
rm is

A DEBUTANTE'S WRAP OF
WATERFALL BLUE VELVET
THE truly successful
debutante wrap is blue
this season. Rose has had
Its vogue all summer and
on the early fall models,
but this 1b decidedly a
blue season, according to
tbe openings. Midnight
blue velvet Is designed for
the matron evening wraps,
cloaks and wonderful eve
ning gowns are shown in
this charming and most be
coming of colors. Ciel and
nattier blues are shown for
the younger miss. I no
ticed particularly how
much blue velvet was
worn. Every Paris model
or group of models Includ
ed a blue velvet frock for
the debutante, simply trim
med, with tulle bodice or
draperies of chantllly lace.
A recent, fashion show In
which the New York shops
were well represented was
famous for Its made-ln-America
styles. A decid
edly stunning evening wrap
on rather odd lines was
seen, and Is reproduced In
today's fashion cut. The
color is a wonderful clear
blue, called "waterfall,"
and the material Is a silk
corded velvet.
The lines of this little
wrap are worth notice. The
upper part of the cloak la
full, being gathered Into full
puffs at the armholes and
terminating in a long silk
tassel at each side. A nar
row peplum of the velvet
Is noticeable at the front,
giving a delightfully youth
ful look to the creation.
The very wide collar and
deep cuffs are made of fox
fur, dyed a lovely shade of
cream, almost tan.
The skirt part of tho
cloak Is full also, although
not ball so much so as the
top. It hangs rather irreg
ularly, with a decided dip
at the back, finished off
with a narrow hem.
Hints From Paris
Children look delightfully
old-fashioned In their little
fluffy-ruffled skirts and
puffed sleeves that are now
the fashion. While soma
of the skirts In these little
fancy frocks for they are
nearly always cut this way
for party and dress-up
clothes-are straight gored
gathered together, one also
sometimes sees the absurd
ly short skirts cut circular
and gathered a bit besides
at the waist. This gives
a ballet-dancer like ruffle
standing out stiffly about
the little child's figure that
Is very fetching.
Short, puffed sleeves go
well with th's type of
drees. Tiny ruffles add
daintiness, and these little
frills are either plcot edged
or hemmed by hand. As
little machine work and aa
much hand work as possi
ble Is tbe rule for these
summer frocks.
Fine French embroidery
and the more it Is pad
ded tbe better Is an addi
tional elegance to theso
little dancing or afternoon
tylM.

lorn, whee wits are yet so far from
forlorn that they grasp the first chance j
iu uiiiik un against a swpin, wid iiuvtv
of whoso affection Is decidedly on the
wane. ' i
One certainly would have thought that J
theso girls would have shunned the pub-'
llclty of the courts I am nmazed at the
calm way In which letters of tho most
Intimate character are boldly produced,
gloated over and given every variety and
species of publicity nnd this on tho part
of the woman. .
It Is a noteworthy featuro that men
seldom or never bring suit against n wom
an for breach of promise of mnrrlage
The cynical would off or the solution that
tho men are only too pioaacd nt getting
their "congo" to say one" word In dis
pute of the ruling! But this cannot al
ws bo the case.
Tho truth of the matter Is that man
kind "en mnsse" hates to bo mvlo to look
llko n fool Tho publishing of lotfe let
ters, written by him or to him It mat
ters not silky sweetnesses nnd Intimate
matters of an amorous nature will fill
a man's heart with n rage and n humilia
tion which knows no bounds
.The effect of tho same upon n woman,
however, la very, very different. Publicity
given to her love affairs too often fills
her with a peaco nnd a Joy and an ex
ceeding great complacency which noth
ing else can afford. Although she has fre
quently been termed the weaker vessel,
she shows no weakness In facing such
a "contretemps." More, she thoroughly
enjoys It.
I heard of a meek-looking little soul
who sued a man for $50,000 He had prom
ised to marry her nnd then thought bet
ter of It! Having met tho lady, one
cbuldn't really blame him.
However, tho determined little wormn
saw to It that every scrap of corre
spondence that'hacT ever passed between
them got Into nil the pnpers. Tho man
was overwhelmed with humiliation. Wot
that his letters wcro ridiculous. The
humiliation should by rights have fallen
on the other party. Her
letters were tho Joke of
the country.
"You must bo frellnr
dreadful, my dear!" aald
a sympathetic woman
friend to her, after the
publication of one par
ticularly Impossible effu
sion, penned by her own
fair hand.
"I'm having the time of
my life!" said the plaintiff, unabashed.
"It gives ono so much prestige to get
Into tho papers, you know!"
LOyELY EVENING WRAP

her work had spread all over the country,
Manufacturers of toys, hearing of It,

Miss Wlon. Every day her mall Is be

MISS OLIVE HAY HALDEMAN
CITY MORE LIBERAL
EMPLOYER THAN THE
BUSINESS MAN HERE
Miss 'Olive Ray Haldemnn, Only
Woman Worker in Bureau of
Municipal Research, Talks
About Investigation
TELLS OF SCRUB WOMEN
"Tho Bureau of Municipal Research Is
compnrlnp the salaries paid by tho city
to Ita employes with the salaries paid
for similar work by private concerns, and
It finds thnt the city It a moro liberal
cmplojcr than tho business man" This
Rlntemcnt was mado by Mhs Olive Ray
Haldemnn, the only woman tmployo of
tho bureau
"Tnko the scrubwomen employed In
City Hall," Ml.s Hnldeman continued
"Thcso women work from 6 o'clock to
8:30 every morning, and on Saturday
nfternoons, and their earnings range from
H30 to filO a jenr. In the tulldlng In
which the Bureau of Municipal Itcscarch
Is altunted the women work from 6 to 8
o'clock both afternoons and ovenlngs, and
get $22 a month: that Is $M1 a year. Com
pare the varjlnp salaries. They work
twice as long aB the women In City Hall
and get Just nbout half- as much pay
Miss Haldeman was asked to compare
the snlary of City Solicitor Ryan with
that of a counsel of a private corpora
tion. "Tho salaries of the head! of tho de
partments are not being surveyed," she
explained "Our work Is merelj In the
first stage. First wo submit a descrlp
tlvo statement for tho approval of the
group with which we are co-operating.
After correction. If desired, we prepare
a critical statement, and the last report
li ono of constructive suggestion. Tho
standardization work Is only In tho de
scriptive stage.
"The women at City Hall may be sep
arated Into three groups. Mrs Jano Dccl
er Rlppon and Mlsi Neva Deardoft are In
the first class, the second includes cleri
cal workers, and tho third scrubwomen
Mrs. Rlppon, as supervisor of probation
Officers ot the Domestic Relations Divi
sion of the Municipal Court, receives a
salary of J2CO0. Miss Deardoft, as head
of the division of Vital Statistics, gets
J1750 a year. The salaries of the clerks
vary from J900 to HMO Tho best posi
tions nro'held by men The lowest-paid
employes are the scrubwomen.
"Sometimes our recommendations are
followed. If It Is a matter of office pro
cedure our advice may bo taken when
little red tape Is Involved. But where
money Is necessary to bring about the
change and It is up to Councils to make
appropriations, things move slowly.
"Of course, I understand why nny per
son In the city's service Is paid better
than an Individual in private employ.
City employes are compensated for tho
uncertainty ot their positions. Tho next
administration may bring a new staff,
and out tho present employes must go."
"Do you find Philadelphia still "corrnpt
nnd contented"? Miss Haldeman was
asked.
"Well, rather contented, to say the
least," she replied.

THE DAILY STORY
Forty Winks
Delphlne Brewster was locked out of
her little npnrtment at 13 o'clock mid
night. Sho did not know n family whom
she could call upon for n night's hospi
tality, and sho knew tnat the hotels would
object to taking In an unknown young
woman who had no luggage,
"Well-It's hero!" Shb emitted a sigh
that trembled Its way out. "I've always
wanted adventure and now that It's star
ing me In tho face I'm afraid of It. Wh.t
-what shall I do?"
She descended the stone steps leading
from the house In which sho had a min
iature home Delphlne worked on a
morning nowspaper, and her work kept
her away from homo until late. Tonight
sho had absent-mindedly left her koy In
sldo the apartment, and did not teallze
that she had done It until now.
At daylight she could get a locksmith
to open tho door for her, but It was
ne.irly six hours until she could expect to
approach such n convenience. The spring
night air was chilly and Delphlne did not
entertain with much joy the prospect it
walking nbout tho streMs all night.
"If I had n Inprobe I colld make myse'f
comfortable In a park, but I should fretre
myself Into pneumonia without one," sho
considered as sho passed ono of tho nent
but now lonely squares of tho neighbor
hood. Vheneer she saw any ono approach
ing she Immediately began to walk brlsklv
as If with a purpoe, and kept up this gnlt
until tho passerby was well out of car
shot At 4 o'clock shn felt at If she could
wnlk no longer, nnd In splto of tho fear of
old shn sat down on a bench In Frnnk
lln Square. Not another soul was In
sight. Sho nlmost wished it wire ono of
the big New York parks, where sho
would at least have tho society of other
vournnts
"Vagrants'" sho breathed nnd she
couU seo her breath on the thill morn
ing nlr It looked like a vaporous cloud,
and amused her for n moment. "I never
expected to be n vagrant. Why I might
oven bo arrested," she ndmltted with
ttcpldatlon "Then I'd lose my precious
tosltion nnd my career would be gone.
Tnthcr would never let mo go nwny
from home again If he knew of thli."
In the midst of theso soliloquies she
saw an automobile dash around the cor
ner of tho square nnd stop before a house
on the opposite side of the square nnd
In which she had already noticed many
lights.
Delphlne noticed that a young woman
jumped out first and ran up tho steps
to tho house. Tho man stopped to throw
n robe carefully over tho engine of the
car, nnd she judged from this act that ho
Intended to bo gone for some time She
also observed, ns ho passed under the
now Illuminated archway of the dqor,
thnt hn carried n bog
"It must be n doctor and there Is
Illness," Delphlne decided.
She was nearly stiff with cold by now
and began to wnlk again She crossed
tho small square and passed the houso
in front of which tho automobile stood.
She stopped for a moment nnd looked
Into tho warm, cozy-looking car It was
the first time an ordinary runabout had
looked attractive to her; but now she felt
as if it would be a veritable heaven to
snuggle down In the leather corner Insldo
nnd wrnp the remaining robe about her.
"Why not?" sho asked herself suddenly,
stealing a quick glance nt the house.
"I'm sure ho Is a doctor and I would be
gone by the time he returned. Passers
try would think me only some one waiting
for the owner to return I I can't resist
HI" she almost whispered, sho was so cold
and miserable.
At last Delphlne slept; she slept In a
strange automobile on a city street at 4:30
o'clock In the morning She had been
too utterly weary to resist tho call of
sleep.
When she awoke an hour nnd a half
later It was to look Into the anxious eyes
of Dr. Baldwin qray. He was bending
over her. Sho wns not sure that he had
not shaken her; she recalled having been
dreaming that some one was trying to
awaken her.
"Oh1" she said, sitting erect. Sho took
In long draughts of fresh morning air
and rubbed her eyes.
"You slept," said the man,
Delphlne nooded Then she looked
closely nt him. "Why It's Dr Oray."
she cried. "How how strango!"
"My situation or yours?" tho doctor
asked, laughing.
"All of It. I I was tired walking around
and I wns so cold I crept In here and
took forty winks, doctor," explained
Delphlne.
'Remember you have the advantage
over me In that you know my name. You
did not give me your name the first and
only time I saw you when you came to
my office to have a finger treated."
"I'm Delphlne Brewster," explained the
girl. "And I'll be getting out. Wasn't
some ono with you when you drove up?"
she asked, looking nbout.
"A nurse she's Inside, A new baby
happened to nrrivo while we were there,
and the nurso has remained to take care
of it." the doctor told Delphlne.
"What a night!" eald Delphlne, half to
herself.
After that, tho doctor asked for ex
planations nnd received them In full
while he drove Delphlne to a locksmith
and helped her to get Into her apart
ment "Can I ever repay you, Dr, Gray," sho
asked as she ntoqd In the now open door.
"You'll repay me If you will let roe
know you. Miss Brewster. I'll ask my
mother to cnll on you since you nro
alone," the doctor said, seriously.
"And you'll como with her?" the girl
asked, naively.
Doctor Qrny laughingly nodded. "More
often than you'll want me to come I'll
come."
But It proved to be not too often to
please Delphlne. Sho had had her ad
venture and her romance was beginning.

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO WED

Detwillcr
When Gilbert E. Gable, who Is now con
nected with the Bell Telephono Company,
was 10 years old he made the acquaint
ance of a llttlo girl who enmo with her
pircnts to Jpcnd the summer In Shamo
kln, where he then lived. This acquaint
ance led to n wedding, which will be per
formed next Monday In Holy Trinity
Church.
Iho little girl was Hazel Detwlller, who
llcs at 0D Baring street. It Is nil the
result of that one summer In the country,
when the two children wandered nbout In
the fields. The Rov, Floyd W. Tomklns
will perform the ceremony, after which
a wedding breakfast will be served. In the
Gold Room ot the Uellevuc Stratford.
Moving pictures of tho ceremony will bo

The romnnce of Mr. Gable and Mies
Detwlller has mndo history for the little
town of Paxlnos, nenr Shamokln. Ten
jeors after the first meeting Gable re
ceived word that Miss Detwlller was
there nnd he boarded a train that they
might meet again near the scene of their
first meeting. Duo to his nrdor he
boarded tho "Cannon Ball" express on
the Philadelphia nnd Reading Railroad,
which did not stop at Paxlnos, the girl's
plnco of residence. A railroad official who
learned of the young mnn'B disappoint
ment when tho latter found the train did
not stop there, ordered a special halt to
be made. It Is said that this Is the only
time thnt the train has ever stopped at
Paxlnos, nnd It was quite an event In the
life of the little village.

The Fish Thief
OUT over the rippled surface of the

sweeping circles. Round and round he
flew as though he wished to spy out

wings outstretched ho looked llko a bird

After he had carefully spied out where

TO DEFEAT POLITICIANS
WHO FIGHT "CAUSE
Miss Hnnnnh J. Patterson Says
Revenge Will Bo Visited
on All Who Oppose
Amendment
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
Politicians who nro planning to oppoi
the woman suffrage amendment thst
comes beforo tho electorate at the No
vember 1 election had better look out.
If tho measure Is defeated, reprisals,
sharp, swift and sure will bo Inflicted on
those responsible for the defeat. Tbe
whole army of the women now engared
In the struggle for. political liberation will
engage In tho business of punishment, and
no candidate or organized Interest wilt
be permitted to escape
Miss Hnnnah J. Palteraori, State chair
man of tho Woman Suffrage party, made
this statement nt Harrlsburg yesterday.
Although loath to discuss oven tho remote
possibility of defeat, she considered the
question hypothetlcally and declared em
phatically that, though suffraglats in
Pennsylvania had kept their skirts clear
of porty politics, a defeat of their amend
ment In November would mean a com
plete revolution of tactics.
"Wo are not willing to concede defeat,"
sho said, "bccnuse'wo have too much re
spect for tho intelligence nnd falr-mtna.
edness of the men of Pennsylvania.
Moreover, wo have good renson to bellevs- j1
that unless crooked methods are used and -'
every bit of machine pressure In the -fi
stato Is brought to bear against us, in vj
shall win by a comfortablo majority. If
wo should be defeated, however, we shall " I
contlmio our State organization and Its '"-'l
various local branches. And then, b,
cause It will bo tho logical thing to do,"
sho added significantly, "wo shall start
tho work of removing the obstacles from
our path.
"Since our nmendment cannot come to
a vote ngaln for five years. It would be
folly, If wo aro defeated, to push active
suffrage propaganda work Immediately.
We have an organization, however, that
Is big enough, nnd strong enough, and
responsive enough to eliminate obstacles '
from our path, whether they are IndU
vldunls or organized Interests.
"Therefore our first task for the next
two years would be a semi-propaganda
campaign which we would put Into oper
ation by entering actively Into the defeat '
of nny Individual candldnte for office or
any organized Interests that opposed us.
In that way our situation would be made
Infinitely better when we start our
straight suffrage campaign two years
hence.
"Our women nro eager for work. They
know now how to campaign In the pollt- -leal
districts, nnd they know how to use.
the power which they have, but, up to
date, It has been concentrated solely ,
upon the Issue of suffrage. They are la
this fight to win nnd a defeat this year t
would only servo to weld them closer
together and mako our organization even
more powerful than It Is today. We will .
fight any politicians who have been fight
ing us. Our position will be that no man
who Is unwilling to see all the people
directly represented In government ll
qualified to hold public office."
Mies Patterson also said that If the
suffragists win at the polls, which they
confidently expect to do, the State suff
rage headquarters at Harrlsburg will,
doubtless, be concerted Into a great edu
cational clearing house from which every"
thinking citizen In the State Will be
able to obtain timely and .accurate In
formation on the big vital problems of
the day.
