Meaning of "Standpatters'1 To the Editor of troman' Page: Deaf Madam Could vou tell me in vour valuable column what the term "standpat ters" means? CURIOUS The term "standpatters" comes to us from English politics. It Is an old-time name for ono who tries to keep back political progress.

I think It would be a very good Idea for you to rent the house It Is very hard for an outsider to decide on a price for the house Generally speaking, HO to 60 would be a fair price for a house such as you describe, but housing ex perts say that the best thing to do is to charge about 110 over the rent you are paying now for the wear and tear on your furniture. It Is more of n. nerannai matter than a business proposition. the price you charge depend on how you value the furniture, how rood It I ant) whether you get tenant! who will be hard or eaay-on the house.

There are many cohorts for the che mise and. quite as many for tho en velope chemise, and there Is much to bo said In favor of both; but today I have selected for you three of tho new est envelope chemises All of these mod els exemplify the mode which Is at pres ent prevalent to adhere to simple de signs, designated by many as "tailored underdress," but In my opinion this title Is far too harsh to apply to thce dainty bits of wearing apparel When one beholds the Increased num ber of undergarments made of chiffon or chiffon cloth, the fact must be recog nized that chiffon must give wear or the women would not purchase them, espe cially in theso times, when every one Is III y.sVV .

I would not bother you, but I would not for the world have anv one else know that I am worried. 1 have been edlng with a youne man for two years and vie have spent a great deal of time together. Ho was always witling to gle up every other engagement If he could be with me. We are not exactly engaged, but there has been a aort of an underotnndlng be tween us. Now there seems to be a dif ference. Outsiders who have alaaya con nected our names do not notice tt, but I can't help but think he la trying to slide away. He does not seem to want to spend time with me like ho used to. but he keeps making excuses for not comlnrr to see me aa ho used to. I have given up all the other boy for him What I am really writing for I, do sou think it would do any good for me tn po around with other boys and try to make him think f don't care, I don't want to lose him. t love him a great deal. What can I do not to lose him? A HEAVY HEART. There are three things for you to do mv dear little girl. First, start to go around with the other boys ; sec ond try to look vour nrettlest and be your brightest all the time when he is arouna; ana tnira, never taiK to mm about love, or his negligence. I am not sure this will bring him back, but I have known many cases where It has, and It will do more to arouse his In terest than anything else. Young people often have periods In their friendship wnen one oecomes tired or the other. This does not always mean that love or regard Is dying. Sometimes it is Just a crisis that tias to be weathered. A man Is apt to have little cases on the side, very disturbing to the one true girl at tho time, but really amounting to nothing In the long run. Understandings are very unwise things. When tho young man brings up such a subject again, tell him you have decided to see other boya until you are really engaged. Do not worry. Just wait and sec, and then write to me again.

It Is probably for this reason many Philadelphia women and girls are making preparations to attend the school for patriotic service that opened yes terday at the Castle, a nationally known girls' school near Tarrytown, N. Y. The director of this enterprise Is Miss C. V. Mason, and the program she has mapped out for the summer Is most ambitious. "America needs the service of every woman for tho great task of winning tho war, but she needs'tralned women," declares Miss Mason. "We at tho Castle believe that education, no less than munition making and the building of ships, must be speeded up. The Castle Hunting a Husband By MARY DOUGLAS , (CopvrtoM) CHAPTER XCIt The Recaption PrtlJSIDUNT ENmrjHT gave his re ception today. He asked me to help pour Aunt Emily received with Mrs. En right. "I'm nwfully frightened," I told the assembled family at lunch. "Cheer up," said Cousin Sam, "I'll be on hand to sco that you don't put lemon and cream In together." "Do stay near me. Cousin Sam," I begged, "1 can't talk to hordes of col lege boys." "They'll be more awkward than you, Sara," he answered. I thanked him for his back-handed compliment. Almost I wish Cousin Sam were more human. But never In the wide world could I care for him. Besides he never thinks of me. For living In the same house with him has taken away any romance that might havo sprung up. Homancc? Cousin Sam? I laugh as I say It. I can see him polishing his glasses. His one ambition Is to be not nn assistant but a professor. But perhaps I shall see Professor Coe! For my new treatment has acted like magic. Now I laugh at him. Jolly him. Do all the things I would not havo thought possible a few weeks ago. It has almost become a habit for mo to dawdle over my notes after class. For him to Gather uf his papers quick ly. Then together we leave the empty room. He walks as far as Campus Bounds. I feel that he Is on the verge of something more than interest. And I shall see him today. So I put on my one stunning gown. My white chiffon evening dress. And Cousin Sam brought me a flower a half-opened Jack rose. He seemed less dry-as-dust when he gave It to me. I had to leave rather early, as I was to pour. Mrs. Enrlgnt showed me my place at one end of tho long table In tho dining room. I sat there with flushed cheeks. But I found it far less exciting than I expected. College boys talked In groups. The professors' wives wandered aimlessly about. The more popular ones were surrounded. Perhapa some day I shall be one of them? I shall come to college receptions. I shall "be nice" to fresh faced youths. Tea was less In demand. I sank back Into my chair dreaming. Then two votces, behind me, became distinct. They came from the curtained bow-window: "He's an old skin, that's all I say." said one. "I say we get up a petition to En rlght. You knqw, as well as I, he flunked Thompson because he didn't like him. Thompson only asked for his paper to read again. He wouldn't con- i sent He s an old beast I "The whole class thinks so," said the other. But who was he? I listened with quick-beating heart. It couldn't bo! Then the second voice said, "Coe's always had the rep. of being mean!" I was glad, then, that some one want ed tea, and lemon, and two lumps. For the blood was beating loudly In my ears. Was this true about Professor Coe? Do the boys think him mean? Tomorrow Disillusionment.

In no feature of Miss MaBon's under taking Is this principle of "speeding up" concentration better Illustrated than In the secretarial course. The war has brought about a great need for secretaries.

Many attractive opportunities are open to women, par ticularly If they have a good working knowledge of commercial Spanish. The details that must be attended to are legion.
