A Visit to Alice
Diana and Julian long, after three
yenrs of married life, deride on a di
vorce. They have not quarreled; they
have simply 6em bored to death with
each other, and Plana dtnpnror Im
mediately from the old lle, fnfrlnj; a
pojHIori as designer with .Wfidome
A'alrft, ic?lo kerp a dressmaking c

set out to find is trtia romance, the
thrill at the heart of life which they
have missed somehow JJIuna Is fas
cinated by a cttveman type of per
son at first, while Julian, after a
fleeting friendship wilh a ulflsh Uttla
debutante. Is really Inferrslcil In Jfor
tense Letell, thn first surcenful busi
ness woman he Tias evtr known. Then
Oleaves .Ualtby, a wealthy widower,
attracts Diana's attention and a
friendship develops between them.
DIANA had not been to soo Alice
Irwin alnco the nlcht she had met
Din RlshtD there, nnd the next time she
went to call was shortly before Christ
mas. It was a cold night and she hud
three carefully wrnpped parcels for the
children and Alice. In her arms. She
found Alice alone ana in a miner ukix
blanket bath robe. Jim wns at the
club, Alice explained.
"And I never expeciea 10 see a. soui
tonight. You don't mind how I look.
do you. dejr?"
Diana didn't mind, but she did not Fee

Diana ever looked nnythlng but lovely
for Julian, and Bhe knew how these
things counted with men.
"I thought you wore never comlnK
to see. me," .Mice said when the two
urnm.n were ennconced In tho llvlne
room, and Allo had stowed the pack
ages safely avrny. "Diana you never
looked so well. Tell mo all about your
elf. You must have nn interesting
kind of life," Alice's tone waa wistful
as she said this.
Diana had removed her fur coat, one
of Jullnn's Inst winter extravagances,
and In her little blue serge dress with
Its sheer collar nnd cuff, she look.d
like a girl of nineteen. Alice who was
lust Diana's age looked ten years older,
her skin looked sallow nnd her hair
stringy and uncared for. AUco belonged
to the type of woman who thinks It
nn effort to groom oneself for the psy
chology of the thing. "Fixed up" for
tho theatre or a dance, she could look
as well as any one, but she slumped
when there was only Jim to see her.
Diana spoke about the shop, the ex
citement of the Chrlatmoa rush, the
lovely frocks, the streams of people. She
told about G I pave b Maltby . and his
daughter she talked of the plays that
sho and Illtn had seen together.
Te never been so busy In my life,"
she ended up.
"Nor so happy?" Atlce asked softly.
"Nor so happy," affirmed Diana
promptly.
"I envy you," Alice said softly. And
Diana looking at dowdv little Alice
wondered In spite of herself how she
could let herself go to seed like th's.

A normally lonv thnmb should
reach at least to the middle of the
third phalanx nf the Index Hnger. If
lt reaches beyond that It Is a Ions
thumb. XIX
Of the fingers the thumb Is by fnr the
mont lmnurtant. It Is the one- that on-
poses Itself to all tho others nnd enables
us to grip things. The loss of nny other
two or even three fingers would not be
so great u calamity as the loss of the
thumb. Without the thumb our hand
would bo of but little use.
Krom the earliest ages the thumb has
been Identified with the will. Similarly
as we have come to regard the big chin
as Indicative of a powerful will, a big
thumb Is the Index of the Biimo tremen
dous power.
If the strnlghtened-out thumb Is held
close to the Index Anger and Its tip
reaches beyond the middle of this fin
ger's third phalanx (the one with the,
nail being the first phalanx), it Is ac
counted u long thumb, The possessor
of such a thumb Is governed by calcu
lated motives principles, and Is not apt
to allow the dictates of his heart to
Interfere In his plans. The large thumb,
therefore, shows force of character and,
usually, ability to rule. Its owner seeks
chiefly the useful, necessary, practlcul
things. Besides will power, such h per
son possesses an abundance of reasoning
power. v

She did not doubt that Alice envied her
and yet when she thought of living as
Alice lived, the petty round of domestic
trifles to see to, the children to manage,
Jim to placate and nppease and no
thrill of hope, no romance to lighten the
drudgery, she shuddered and did not
blame Allen for envying.
"Your life Is like n, story," Alloe went
on. "Picturesque, full of color. Dy the
vn-. do ou ever see Dan nishopT'
Diana Mushed and her heart began to
beat. She answered evasively.
"I saw him a couple of times. Itlta
nnd I went to his apartment to dinner
one night." Diana wondered 'If Alice
knew anything.
Alice was looking at her with a
strnnge expression. "He told Jim that
he thought ou were the most beautiful
woman he had ever seen."
Diana laughed. "That Is ridiculous.
You know I'm not beautiful."
"I don't know," Alice returncd.'-"You
have more than beauty: you are Strang
looking, you have chnrm. appeal. I
think Dan Bishop was right. Did you
know he'd gone nbrondT"
Diana shook her head. She was sud.
denly glad, her spirits rose, she drew a
long breath.
Alice ww still looking at her. "I
think you're the luckiest woman I know."
she went on speaking slowly, as though
she could not get Diana off her mind.
"And the only one of all of us who had
courage to make a break. Wo pushed
you Into marriage with Julian, and you
two were not a bit suited to each
other."
Diana's spirits that a moment ago
had soared so high, dropped suddenly.
That was lust It people told her she
was charming, and that she had power
and personal appeal, and yet Jullon had
never been charmed nor fascinated. Why
was that? Diana did not even renllze
how strange lt was for her to feel this
way. but nevertheless after she hnd left
Alice nnd was on her way home, the
mougnt followed her: It was tho one
thing that kept her from being trium
phantly happy.

Making More Money
Sorfslng a labile Need
Sirs. Anna t'Lither didn't Ilk.
her
work. It was a Job that.no one eluo In
wiu more one oi me largest or its kind
In New York wanted to handle. So,
betng a new employe, sho had naturally
been shunted to the riding hnblt depart
ment and told that she waa expected to
make good where others had failed. She
needed the money and she stuck but In
the back of her mind there was the feel
Ing that there must bo something better
In store for her.
She found It. not by going far afield,
but by cultivating the position In which
she had been placed by paying the
closest of attention to her work nnd
keeping her ears open for suggestions
from tho people who came Into the de
partment. One day a customer, palpa
bly discouraged, came In to look at rid
ing hablta .She mentioned thnt she was
going to the mountains and Mrs. Stnlber,
more for th purpose of making con-
ernat Ion than anything else, said,
oull hae a wonderful time. I sup
poser' "I would," was the reply, "provided I
could get the right clothes. The fluffy
organdies nnd summer frocks nro too
light. The) won't stnnd up under the
strain of outdoor life. And thtse riding
habits ore too heavy. But I suppose I'll
have to get one. They seem to be the
only thing uvnllable."
After the ftaln hnd rwpn mnriA Xfr
Stalber did some hard thinking. Thero
musi ne some solution to thp dltilculty.
Thousands of women wanted outdoor
clothes and would be willing to pay real
money for them. Therefore, after think
ing out the preliminary details, she
sought nut the nroDrletor of the ),
and laid the Idea before him. The fol-
lumiiK morning sne receivea word to go
ahead nnd the "sports clothes" IdeawnH
launched 8ome three weeks later. At
first the department didn't do 75 e. day
business. Now It averages well above
14000, and Mrs. Stalber Is on a salary
nnd commission of flvo figures just be
cause, as she says, she paid attention
to what her customers said.

Friendship of Men and Girls
"I believe fine friendships with men
are so much easier to attain than most
girls belle; 5. Even a congeniality of
tastes Is not entirely necessary to them.
One of the finest friendships of my life
was with a man who had few personal
tastes In common with mine. We dis
agreed on a very great mnny Miblecta.
My sister used to sayito me. ''I don't see'
why you nnd Tom are such friends, when
you are forever quarreling." Well, our
"quarrellngB" were heated arguments
for the most Dart on rather unimportant
matters and concerning our Individual
opinions as to these: out we did not
quarrel as to fundamentals. There, each
was sure of the other. It did not matter
that he disliked Dickens while I nt that
time doted on him. that he cared for one
kind of music and I for another; what
did matter was that underneath all these
unimportant differences we could and
did honor and trust each other. I be
lieved him to be true and honorable and
kind, and he believed me to bo the same;
and In this mutual belief truth and
honor and kindness our friendship took
root and grew. Here, too, you see
friendship began In the large and gen
eral and lasting things, not In the petty
and personal, and though many, many
years have gone by and many changes
have washed like tides against that
friendship, It stands , as strong as ever
and as true." Anne McCall, in Woman's
Home Companion.

Of What Are They Jealous?
Dear Cynthia Do fellows nn a rule
fall In love with .tho pretty girls, or do
they fall for a girl's disposition? I am
a girl of twenty years old, but I am not
beautiful, by any means. But I am
nlwnvs full of fun and laughter and
ready at nny time to do anything any
ono else does, providing It Is all right
Now, I have no real girl friends, no they
all get Jealous of me. Of what, I want
to know? I s.m far from a vamp. Could
It bo my disposition? I have a number
of men friends; KITTY.
' Cynthia Is sorry, but Ifa she does not
know you, nor tho girls you know, she
cannot answer what they are Jealous of.
Are you ns nlc to the girls ns ou are
to the boys? Do you want them to Join
In your fun?
Some boys fnlt In loye with a beauti
ful face, and some with n beautiful dis
position. It depends on the man.
Do Not Worry
Conscience Stricken It Is well always
to remember thnt wo are answernblo for
our actions, words and thoughts, accord
ing to tho light or knowledge we have
at the time of tho offense.' A child Is
seldom supposed to have use of reason
or sense of right and wrong before he
Is seven. Ho tells a' lie to K"t out of
being punished, without realizing his
responsibility In the matter.
Many persons growing up to the full
tight of reason, grlevo over faults' and
fallings and sins of childhood, allowing
themselves to Judge th6se fnultH ns If
they had been committed with the full
knowledge which comes with reason.
We nre responsible to Ood for our
acts according to our Intention at the
time of the act. So cheer up C.ort Is
good. All we have to do Is tell Him we
are sorry.
Linen Shower for Bride
Dear Cynthia A girl friend of mlnu
is going to b married this week. Now
I wcnld like to give her a linen whowcr,
so would lt be correct to do Ki,after
she Is married? I could not have the
shower before as I hnd planned on ac
count of death In the bridegroom's fam
ily. What can I serve and hovvshall I
go about giving the shower?
TWEEDEE.
It would be qulto all right to give your
friend a linen shower after her marriage.
If you wnnt to ask men as well as girls
have It In the uvenlng.
-Ask her by telephone or letter to come
to your house on the evening you plan
for. nnd to bring her husband. Tell nor
you want to Have a game of cards or
something of the sort and wnnt to count
on her being there. Ask the others to
come n little earlier and, when they ar
rive, collect the packages nil together
and when jou an- serving refreshments
bring tnem all in and present them to
the bride.
Serve sandwiches, .cako and lco cream,
and have a punch bowl" of fruit lemon
ade. "Plain Jane" Writes
Dear Cynthia Although "Zadee"only
waniea tne Doys opinion oi nor letter,
I nm taking the liberty of answering It,
too.
You are right, "Zadeo" ; what the boya
want Is a drucstore beauty who has no
scruples about paying for the good time
with a Kiss.
The srlrl who believes In ncntness nnd
all the higher things In life finds herself
left out of social tmngs She Is all
right In a pinch, but to take around she
Is too slow.

and Billy and all the other "Jazz" boys
will be wanting a little wife. Will they
take one of the dolls? Oh, no ; the dolls
and beauties will be forsaken for "yo
domestic girl"! for, although a doll Is
ntco to dance with and show off to your
friends as your newest, she won't look
nice across from you nt the breakfast
table : and unless you nave a good
stomach you would keop the doctor
wealthy from your badly cooked food.
Oh, well, there's good and bad dolls
nnd plain Jones;. and I suppose there Is
n Jhonny for every doll and u Henry
for every Jane.
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN JANU
We Should "Look" Our Best
near Cvnthla I am a dally render of
jour Interesting and helpful column and
enjoy tho dlscuw-lons Immensely.
Ab to the debate about rouge, etc., I
think It Is all "talked out," but I must
express mv opinion on' the subject, with
your kind permission. I am a high
school student, nf this city, und we al
ways have lectures, talks, etc. at school,
about trying to mnke ourselves better
In reference to our souls, bodies nnd In
tellects. Now, Cynthia, why cjin't girls try to
Improve themselves ns far as looks go?
Of course, some do make failures In the
attempt, but why not i-lve them the
credit for the trying? Why
"FBA DEL"
There Is no reason why girls should
not try to look their best. In fact, It
is a uuty to no so. um piling nrnviier
and paint on the face, wearing skirts a
few Inches below the knee transparent
waists, scarcely any sleeves and other
caricatures of fashion which detract
from a woman's beauty rather ths,n as
sist It, am the kind of things that are
generally frowned upon.
It's Up to the Qlrl
Dear Cynthia I say that "Zadee" Is
alternately right and wrong, but mostly
wrong.
Her contention that boys nns looking
onlv for the girl who can aid them In
finding some light-headed amusement Is
wrong.
When we dance we desire to dance;
and we fnvor neither the facetious, gar
rulous maid nor the solemn-faced book
worm. It Is true that we seek the girl
with the gay repartee, whose dressing
nnd dancing nrn In keeping with her
pretty laugh. In preference to tho on
whoso ono ambition is to exploit her
brilliance concerning higher mathemat
ics nnd thn broadening topics 'of the day.
You are erring greatly In assuming
thnt we along with the girls have noth
ing hut silliness on our minds. If you
possess the proper facilities you won't
have trouble In getting an Interested
party of the second part to listen nnd
discuss things of some weight.
It 1b the itirl who Is tho conversation.
nllst. the one who knows when to talk
nnd when to listen, the girl who waits
for the boy to give the cue to baseball,
yacht races. League of Nations, etc,
talk or whose cue points toward a quick,
fray answer to his gay question or who
ninths long at the Joke he got verbatim
before springing; thnt makes the hit,
The trouble Is too many girls fnrpret
that he should be the aggressor: and he
should monopolize the conversation and
not the girl herself.
It Is Just as artful to be entertained
as It Is to be doing the entertaining
The Ideal girl Is one whom we seek for
her tempered, soft-toned Intelligence,
apparent when she deems It advlsahle,
and whose sweet laugh emphasizes her
good taste In dress, e'o.
You're wrong as to kissing. The girl
who presents the proper front of repnec
lability obviates the necesulty of tellln
a boy she Is not to he kissed. It Is all
easy when you know how,
TWOHOMH,
Well-bred men and women never
speak slightingly of other races Ar
creeds. Tolerance Is always good form.
In educatAl society there Is no place
for the bigot whose, prejudices are ex
Dressed In DUbllc without the niii.h..t
consideration for the most sacred feel

merely stirs up strife; to Ignore the
utterance Is not consistent with self
respect. In the Illustration, the depart
ing guest Is leaving as courteously as
possible In the circumstances; but her
departure Is, In Itself, a. rebuke to the
offender, who finds himself deservedly
embarrassed by the awkward situation
created through his tactless remarks.

ADVVETYNSUIT
OF STYLISH BROWN
JUST because a color or a style falls
rather flat one season Is no reason
why it will not bo smnrt the next. The
fact is .that a new fashion note hardly
ever does mnke Ita nppeal thp first time
it la urged by tho dressmakers and
designers.
Now brown was pushed Inst winter,
first in Paris nnd then here. The dress
makers felt thnt it wns time for a
variation from navy blue and black in
suit colors. And they hit unon brown
ns the substitute. They had confidence
in it. and it must have been with
something like chagrin and dlssDnolnt-
ment that they found the women who
buy and wear the clothes turnine from
the rich brown street frocks and r.uits
to their 'old favorites, in nnvy blue.
Now brown has come bnek. And I for
one think that It will be found ac
ceptable by smnrt women. In fact there
Is already evidence that It haR been
found acceptable Jude ne from thn se
lection made by the women who have
made selections of autumn clothes early.
I am showing you an Imported suit
of brown wool mixture recently se
lected. There is a brown fur collar in
cross-over effect, which Is just one of
me details mm go to mnke this milt
a one-sided garment. One-sided effects,
you know, nre quite tho ragt nn idea
that is further carried -out in the em
broidery on the coat which nppears only
nn the left side. Nurrow bands of fur
are used to edge the coat also. The
shaped cuffs which finish the sleeves nre
decorated In the same way.
Hemcmber if you select brown for
your autumnal coloring thnt two dif
ferent shades of brown seldom go well
together, nnd If you wear n brown hat
with a brown suit take care that It is of
the same hue. Here the hat is of diivo.
tyn matching exactly the predominate
tone of brown In the suit mixture.
Smart but extremely simple it is
trimmed with a lurge ribbon bow at the
left bnck.

Two Minutes of Optimism

Why should wc "have it in for" the "idle rich," so-called?

Suiting the action to the word, he took the "little doggie" from the ami I

twenty-five feet out Into the wnter. '
"Oh-h-h! The darling!" half shrieked the fond mistress.
"Doggie," in an Instant, turned right side up and paddled back to the
float.
Mr. Jolleyem lifted him out of the water, partially dried him with a towel,
and gravely remarked:
"Fine dog, mndam most intelligent animal. I ever saw. No trouble nt
all to teach him. Needs about two lessons more, two days anart. Come any
time In the morning between 10 nnd 12 o'clock."
"Oh, you denr, brave, little doggie-Woggle. In you learning to swim?
Mr. Jolleyem, I cannot thank you enough," cried the happy mistress.
"Don't mention It, madam," replied the benefactor. "Glad to have t

Two morn lessons made the dog an expert swimmer.

Adventures With a Purse
fpHIS is directed to ono reader in
J. nnrtlciilnr because of special in
quiry, and to nil renders hi general,
should they be interested. In one of the
stores I have found a glass rolling pin
with ends that unscrew, that they may
be filled with Ice. This makes pie crust
that tastes like "mother used to mnke."
They nre eighty-five cents, nnd as the
supply is limited, I suggest nn early
trip to the store.
The season is approaching when the
winter coat is too warm and the fall
suit rather chilly without an extrn
something to keep one snug. I stopped
to look at some smart woolen scarfs and
liked them so well I wnnt you to know
of them. too. One wns tan. with n pea
cock blue stripe around each end; nn
other wns of .dark blue with white
stripes. The price Is ?3.00, and they
have every appearance oi oeing wurnuu
giving. When I was going to school the 8th
of September loomed up lurge nnd for
bidding to spoil in mougnts i me sum

venturing 'forth the first time, it is u

everything is wanted from a pencil

a black leather pencil case quite com
