It Is only the short-fingered people who

shorter tho fingers the bigger the under
takings they delight to engage in. Attlla.
tho Hun. and Tamerlane, tho Tartar,
conquerors who set out to annex the
whole world to their possessions, must
have had very short fingers, for not only
were their projects colossal but thoy
had all the other characteristics which
go with short fingers
Flf Jn"anco. they were Impatient of
detail They wanted to get quick returns
They did not Inquire Into Intentions;
what they wanted, what they expected,
was results. Moreover, they Insisted
that those with whom they dealt should
come to the point without nny circum

Bagdad made him waste several weeks
In a siege before the city surrendered

dono on a short-finger scale.
But this does not mean that short

CARELESS
By HAZEL DEYO
(Cotvrtsht. 1010, v
A CAREFREE LIFE
Diana and Julian Long decide, after
three years of rather drearily unex
citing married life, to separate. They
are quietly divorced and Diana de
liberately drops out of things so that
she will not have to accept help from
JulUtn. By chance she meets an old
acquaintance, Klta Graves, who has a
smart drcssmakinq establishment ami
has become Madame SaldL She of
fers Diana a position as designer
which Diana accepts.
DLVNA discovered that n:ta Graves
kept n srmlfnshlonnble dressmak
ing place, for a great deal of tho work
consisted of remodeling gownB, Tho
shop Itself was In a fashionable neigh
borhood and was beautifully finished in
French gray. A large room across the
back of the house, well lighted and well
aired, was tho workroom. The show
room itself had small fitting booths run
ning along the sides and n miniature
stage at one end where the models wero
shown under artificial lights. Every
thing was in good taste and every scrap
of room was utilized. There wero thrco
models, all lovely to look at In their
pale pink slips. When they wero not
needed they sat In the workroom mani
curing their nails nnd chatting about
their benus. Rita had chosen them for
their extreme types, nnd Diana was lost
In admiration of tholr young sophistica
tion, their glib comments on llfo and
their perfectly groomed young figures.
When a plcco of gorgeous material
was flung over llnlda's shoulders it
seemed to drape Itself naturally and fall
Into charming curves. Rachel wore the
daring scarleta. tho vivid greens and
purple blues. Pauline, whose pale gold
hair of that ashy blonde shade so sel
dom seen was plied high on her head,
was given tho pastelle shades to dis
play. Her slenderness. slim almost to
fragility, mode her look In the chiffons
and tulles llko a Watteau picture, dainty
and ethereal. And yet Pauline mingled
bad grammar and Broadway slang with
cheerful nonchalnneo and chewed gum
whenever ehe had a free moment--and
wns sure that Pita was not about.
It was a cheerful place ; nnd In a wceK
Diana felt qulto at home there. She
grew quito fascinated with her work,
too, which wan very nearly all creative.
- .n.nBivo rnu'n of Inst years vln-
tage would bo brought In to her. and It
would be her Job so to change It, com
bining tho old with new material and
r," ... i, -rh.meR that when ' whh
finished not even the owner would rec
ognize It for an old drees.
Of rtirse. this wus rot nil the hi.'t
ness that was done at Madame Naldl s.
Madam" bought Imported models and
made clever copies of them She was
astute enouph to sell the original model
a season beforo the others were put on
tht market, quite certain that for many
of her customers the original model was
a season In ndvance, anyway. Diana
roon saw that tho customers were not
the very rich nnd aristocratic but rathor
the nouveau rlcho middle classes, to
,Vpi P.t-s smart salon, combined
with her fairly moderate prices, was tho
acme of elegance. Many people who
would not have ventured Into tho more
exclusive Fifth avenue places felt at
homo at Madame Naldl's, where they
were received with cordial effusion. Rita
kept two tall, willowy, very blonde young
nersons, beautifully dressed in black
saTir .who were carefullv Instructed as
to the reception of po'slblo customers.
"I don't believe In this languid, super
clllnus air used on the avenue, she
confided to Diana "Of course, they can
affor to be Independent there, but I
believe in rome cordiality: and tell
the girls to be interested and wiling to
er hasn't a great deal to spena.

seventy -five cents a pair.
Washing Fruits
Berries should be washed with their
hulls or stems on ; and those which have
nono should he washed a few at a time,
being careful not to let the force of
the water from the faucet break them.
Wash grapes by holding the stem and
lowering and raising them up nnd down
In tha water. In washing peaches do
not dry them so vigorously as to take

THE WRAPPT EFFECT
IS VERY IMPORTANT
A Dally Fashion Talk by Florenco Rose
rpiIERn is a word that we hear often
- there days applied to the new suits
and coats presented for autumn. I sun
pose n professor of Hnglish might ob
ject to the word but in describing
clothes you slmplr hnve to use it be
cause there Is nothing else to describe
Just the quality. The word Is "wrnppv."
And I am sure that you don't have to
be told whnt it menns. It Is n quality
tiiat seems to be essential to smnrtness
in suit coats nnd sennrnte ennts ns
well ns in canes and all sorts of wrnns
this senson. T.nst winter this tnsfo for
wrnnp.v outside wrnps. wns nppnrent.
"omen who were young in fact or
merely in nppenrnnce went nbout to
be sure In low shoes nnd thin stockings,
and frocks with short scant skirts but
always their outside wraps were volumi
nous and they wrapped themselves In-
" , ,p conts or ''W ,n n wny that
defied the sharpest of winds or most
penetrating dampness. In order to pro
duce just this wrnppy appearance It was
necessary thnt the fabric be soft, nnd
clingy nnd that it be hung in loose
free folds.
This same quality seems to bo de
manded of the autumn clothes. And for
tunately the French wraps nil nre
voluminous. There Is nn abundnnce of
materlnl in their mnkc-up thnt must go
hnrd when materials are scarce and
dear. And, of course, capes nre still
in demnnd. Newer thnn the cape is the
coat or suit with sleeves and nn np
plied enpo thnt hnngs over the cont,
giving extra warmth and that "wrnp
py" effect thnt is so importnnt.
In blue duvetyn wns this French
model developed, sketched for you to

To go with it is a hat showing n

Dear Madam I have a beautiful fat
baby girl and would like to put her in a
baby contest or baby show. Will you
kindly let mo know where the next
baby show Is going to tako place and
on what day? MIIS. A. F.
As far ns I havo been nblo to find
out there nro no baby shows scheduled
hero in the near future. Thero nre
shows tn Atlantic City on the various
piers almost every week now. No doubt
you could get Into one of them If you
caro to go down thero. Keep watching
tho nowspnpers for announcements of
shows. They are usually given at the
Earks or by business moil's associations,
ut I don't bellevo there will be many,
If any, this month here, for it is so hot
that the poor little things would suffer
too much to look pretty.
To Clean Enamel
To the Editor 0 Woman's Paoe:
Dear Mudam Will you kindly tell
me If possible how to clean Ivory ename,
furniture? Also, what will remove
stnlns do not know what caused them
from an Ivory toilet set? R. S.
Wipe the eiiamot lurnlture with n
cheesecloth moistened In lukewarm
wator. Do not ube soap, as that takes
the shine off tho enamel nnd makes It
yellow. If thero nro stains that do not
cu mo off with the lukewarm wator, use
a cleaner, such us whiting, on the cloth.
It Is not very ensy to cet stains from
ivory, but turpentine Is ubout the best
thing to use. Wipe the plccos with a
ciotn wet witn turpentine ana then ex
pose them to tho sun for a whole day
or more, I hope this will be successful.

In your paper how to do bo? e. m.
If you have gas light toast the marsh
mallows by holding them on long hat

hold them over the coal stove, or, ir
thero Is some ono older with you to take

tions toward him and would never givo
their consent to our marriage. He has
neither much money nor many prospects,
and for this reason my parents dis
approve of him.
Do you think that I ought to go
against my parents' wishes and marry
this handsome young man or discontinue
going with him?
I am very anxious to hear from you,
as I do not know what to do, nor nave
1 a confidant. LUCILLE D.
Tou are only eighteen. Walt till you
ore of age, and If you still lovo the
young man bo engaged to him then. Not
many men of twenty have had tlmo to
make much headway as business men.
He may bo better off In three or four
years and your parents bo moro willing
to look on his suit with favor.
Advice to "Lillian"
Dcnr Cynthia Kindly permit me to
glva friendly advice to Lillian. I deeply
sympathize with her. Her story cer
tainly appears romantic. Your mother,
Lillian, Is very unkind to you. A mnn
of forty-five Is old enough to be your
father. You were very foolish to accept
any gifts of his, and If he has Given
you any expensive gifts return them.
Break your friendship at once, nnd just
give him a friendly bow if you happen
to meet him. 3o and marry tho one
you love, for money will go, but love
you never will find. Do ns the old say
ing. Be a young mar's slave, but not
an old man's darling. In the future you
will be thankful. What Is llfo without
love? I assure you that llfo without
love Is not worth living If this man
is a gentleman he will forgive your
folly, becauso no respectable gentleman
would marry a girl against her wton.
Olvo him an understanding. Tell nun
that you are willing to work to pay for
the money he has spent on you. 1 wlsn
you success, dear, and may God take
pity on you.
ALWAYS A DAILY READER,
Her Problem
Dear Cynthia 1 have read many of
your columns on kissing tn the Lvbnino
I'unuo Ledoeii, and I would ask advlco
from you.
For Instance, a girl friend of mine
and two fellows havo been going out
In their machine. My girl friend likes
tho one fellow a great deal ; but tha
other, whom I am expected to bo a part
ner to. Is not considered good-looking
and I do not care for him. I cannot
feol toward him as I do to other boy
friends,
My girl friend nnd I ore both In our
teens, Bhe being one year older thnn I.
Wo are tho opposite of ono another,
she being a brunette and I having chest
nut brown hair.
Tho fellows seem to fall for her. We
ore both fairly good-looking.
Sho Is a girl always ready to give
a kiss: always ready to receive one,
I am not that kind and never have
been. I do not care very much for
kissing, theretoro the fellows seem
downhearted when I do not kiss them,
and I do not know how to explain to
them, becauso they feel that they are
not wanted.
There are very few fellows these days
who are not ready to give a kiss, and
It seems some girls never refuse to re
turn them; nnd because I do not they
tako It as an Insult. Kindly advise me
as to what I should do to make them
understand.
DOWNHEARTED LILLIAN.
If you have rend the column nt all
you will Know what Cynthia Has said
about promiscuous kissing. And It cer
tainly seems ns If things wero going very
far when a girl who tries to bo modest
and ladyllko refuses a kiss and It Is
looked upon as an insult.
Continue to "Insult" them with re
fusals, nnd If they do not recognize you
as a girl who Is doing the right thing
you will bo far better off without their
friendship and without tho friendship
of this girl who makes so free with
her caresses.
She Works at Night
Dear Cynthia Please tell mo through
your column what to do. I am a girl
nineteen nnd am working In a restaurant
and my hours aro from 4 p. m. until
1 a. m., so I can't get homo until 1:30
a, m., or some timed 2 n. m. ; and It
seems as though everybody Is staring
at mo on tho trolley car and on the
htrect. And they even make remarks
about mo right to my face. Tho other
night, as I was awaiting for a car on
tho corner, two young men passed, and
ono of them made the remark: "So we
arc not the only ones going homo enrly" j
and that Isn't the first time they made
a rcmnrk ubout "homo early."
It makes me foci so bad. I often cry
to think I have to work hard for a
living ; nnd strangers make remarks,
I."ear Cynthia, why Is It that nobody
makes a lemarx about young men out
on the street early In the morning. It's
always a girl that's got to bo talked
about and taken for a girl out of place.
Cynthia, I hato to quit my Job, und I
hate remarks that the young men havo
made, and I know they will keep It up.
JUST NINETEEN.
You sco. dear, the world makes mnnv
of the conventions j ana It haB always
Bald that girls should not he out alono I
utter durk, espuclutly after 10 o'clock. I
It Is true that some very good and I
respectable girls such as yourself are
obliged to be out late by themselves, I
on account of their work : nnd unfor-1
tunately thoy are often subject to com
ment. But, my deur, If you nlways be
have properly, do nothing to attract
attention, and do not notice inv re.
marks, you will soon show by your de
meanor that you have reason to be out,
as you are returning home from work,
and they will let you alone.
On tho other hand, ub you nre only
nineteen. It would bo wiser for you to
see oay worn.

BUDDY IS NOT
AND WON'T BE CALLED ONE
If Anybody Attempts to Insult
With His Fist Instead
Great Big
BUDDY had been very naughty nnd
mother wouldn't let him etay at tho
table with tho rest of the famllyi
Aunt Bcssio and Undo Bill were
there with young William, who prefers
to bo called nt least "Billy," if not
"Bill."
Naturally it was a good deal of n
blow to be sent away from tho table
when they wero there, and William nnd
everything.
Auu Ruddy is only almost llvo.
And so when William came out on
the porclj between dinner nnd dessert,
he found a rather sad little boy sitting
there.
"Ho!" ho remarked scornfully (Wll-
linm is seven) ; "had to go way from
the tablo didn't you, cry-bnby?"
Jitiddy didn't answer htm at all.
He Just stood right un. looked Wil
liam up nnd down, clenched his small,
four-year-old fist, rose up on his toes
and let William havo It!
William went weeping nnd bleeding
In to mother. Auu nobody cujoyed
dessert very much that evening.
YOUNG America doesn't liko to be
called a cry-baby. In fact he won't
bo called a cry-baby.
Anybody who thinks he will, nnd at
tempts to prove 'It, is told in no uncer
tain terms that he won't. And after
thnt ho believes it.
There is something in the smnll boy
WHAT'S WHAT
Br iiet.tw nr.nn
In the lllustrntlon tno figure on the
left may bo a woman who prefers 11
substantial bank account to a fashion
able wardrobe; sho may be putting a
boy or girl through collego, or financing
a brother In business. She may devote
all her means to charity, or her Income
may be so limited that sho cannot af
ford to spend an extra penny, even on
new clothes.
Whatever the reason for her old
fashioned appoaranco, certainly tho
mocking critics who arc "maklns fun"
of her dowdy clothes nre only proving
that their manners aro inferior to their
raiment.
This petty form of rudeness Is es
sentially "Binall-towny" : In . metropol

Making More Money
An Obvious But Novel Method
"What's the ono thing that peonle
object to In buying meat?' John Bom.
nrcr. of Hazteton. Vn asked his brother
one day nbout six months ago
"Insanitary conditions," was the
promnt reply. . .,,.,. i.i,
"Plght vou are!" replied the elder
Bommor, "and the man who can rem
edy these will be the mnn who can land
the bulk of the ment trade of anv terri
tory. Do vou want to go In with me
on an experiment? We'll buy a wagon
a regular delivery wagon and have
It fitted up bv a carpenter. The cost
won't he much, but tho value will be
considerable We'll line It with metal
sheeting, making the whole thing water
proof, put lco chests nt cither end and
swing a glass lid over tho whole thing
Then we can put tho meat In the bot
tom of tho wngon, slap down tho lid and
mako certain that everything will be
dlrtproof nnd dustproof no matter how
long wo are out. A drain pipe at the
bottom of the Ice chests will complete
tho apparatus. Then wo can drive
....m,i th. ..nimtiv. hrlnirlnir the refrig
erator right up to the doors of everybody
that wants to buy meat and giving our
selves a splendid sales argument In the
bargain. How about It? Do you want
to get In on the Idea?"
"I'd llko to," replied the young Bom
mer, "but It sounds risky to me. Aie
vou certain that we can build up a lint
of trade that would be really worth
while?"
"I'm eo cure of It that I'm willing
to gamble a couple weeks' pay fixing
up the wagon. It's a chance to run n
business without nn expenslvo overhead,
and the people will be certain to see the
niivontnirea of having meat delivered,
rold nnd fresh and clean, ut tholr
doors."
Now the Bommer Brothers are devot
ing themselves exclusively to the sale or
meat, delivered by this refrigerator on
wheelB, and they Intend to place orders
for at least two moro of tho traveling
stores. They hit upon ono of those
IdenB for making moro money which are
so obvious that everybody overlooked It.

THE DAILY NOVELETTE
The Latch Key
Dy JULIA A. nODINSON
Jack Martin had been married but
ono month. Ho did not know a greit
deal nbout women folks, nnd there was
much In his young wife that puzilea
him. Ho wns uneasy, constantly afraid
of doing something to offend. The Idea
that she would some day tnko flight,
offended nt something he had unwlttlnr.
lv done to displease her, and leave him,
haunted him. He had heard of such
things happening, and had always won.
dered how tho husband could stand It
What would he do If Mollis should taxa
a notion to run away? would he dart
risk going after her to bring her back,
or would he let her take her own count,
unmolested by him? Ho tried his best
to please, but could not always be sure
that ho succeeded. Women were so hsrd
to suit. Ho Imagined that Mottle's imlle
was not ns bright as usual, her greet
ing not as loving. Did women change,
ho wondered, after they were married?
Ho tried not to think about It: but the
Idea possessed him, and he watched her
narrowly.
And then It came, tho thing he hid
been dreading. The train from the city
was delayed ono evening by an accident
It was quite dark when Jack reached
the door of his cozy little home. Mollis
would be worried. He ran up the steps,
but the houso was dark. There was no
little wife In the doorway to greet him.
What could have happened? Ho fum
bled nervously in his pocket for his
latchkey; then he remembered that he
had lost It a week ago and had neg
lected to get a new one. Mollle had al
ways been thero to let hm? take her
key. It flashed upon him all at once
perhaps she was asleep He knocked
loudly. Still no answer. He went around
to the back door. That was nlso locked,
and every window tight. Mollle w
afraid when alone. He could raise no
one. What wns to be done? He might
perhaps climb to the piazza roof and
try the bedroom window, but he reflected
that Mollle always kept that locked
w-hen he was nway, she had told hlra
so ; then, too, he would no doubt be
awkwnrd. Ho found himself In the un.
comfortable position of being locked cut
of his. own house. Mollle might hii
become tlrt d of waiting nnd dropped oft
to sleep If ho could only wake hert
Pfrhnps she wns sick. The thoujht
frightened him. Ho knocked ngaln and
called 4ier name frantically. He must
wako her If she were there If
The old thought took possession of
him. Molllo had left him ! He paced the
narrow piazza, perspiration starting
from his face. He could not stand It
She might be dead. Horrible nightmares
assailed him Had she really gone
left him? What had he done to offend
her? His kiss In the morning had been
as tender as ever. He hadn't refused to
do her errands In town. He had the
pink pllk In his pocket now If he could
only give It to her I His wearied mind
tried to think of something he had dons
to anger her, but he could find notnlnr.
She had been more loving than usual
that morning, he remembered with a
sigh. Sho must be dead or she would
hear his pounding and open the door.
His knocks ought to wake the dead
even.
"Hello, Jock! What's up?" called a
familiar voice. "Lost your latch key!
Can't get In? Watt a jiffy, I've a skele
ton. Here, try this." . .
He pulled a key from his pocket and
ran up tho steps to the door, which Jaw
wan still pounding furiously.
With llttlo effort the door flew open
and the two men entered Jack tremblinf
with fenr, hardly daring to stir. H
friend struck a light. , . .
"You look llko a ghost. Jack,' he
laughed. "Your wife locked you outlaid
