The Public Stenographer In the San
Francisce Hetel
""VTOU went up some steps off the
lobby Iloer nnd there you were,
nlmest hitting your head against the
low celling of her ship-shape office. Her
roll-top desk was fluttering with papers,
but net disorderly, and there was n
mnn's photograph in n Chinese silver
frame nnd some violets nmeng the
heiipcd-up debris of the day's work.
A very chic hut hung en the clothes
rack with a fur cellar slung beneath It.
In fact, from her very well-done hair
te her slippers she was quite nil right
as te dress, nnd businesslike nnd very
prosperous ns te manner. She handled
my dictated matter with an amused air
ns though all the persons I alluded te
in my copy were acquaintances that
she could tell me mere nbeut if she
cared te: and once or twice she stepped
me te ask me if I did net mean thW or
that and suggested a word that might
be better. She was right each time and
se impersonal that I liked her inter
ference. "She hi d been working nil day, yet I
heard her tell one worried man who
uppeared breathless with an important
letter te go nt once that she would be en
hand until ten-thirty that evening, hav
ing a geed deal of back work te make
up, se that his stuff could be put
through and get off before she closed
for the night if he would come back.
Her assistant, en the ether hand, began
leisurely te "dell up" for leaving
promptly en the stroke of five.
"They both conversed ever my head
whlle I was rc-rcadlng my stuff,
about Sunday plans nnd nn excursion
out of town nnd 'two men nt least
and maybe Heb, if he can get off,' nnd
with a remark or two about the cranki
ness of one of their Inte customers and
his impossible manuscript and his un
reasonableness and about thcre being no
time new until after ten te step for
'eats.' en the part of the one who wns
left In charge, the two separated.
"I liked them both. I liked their
ability te put through their work with
out looking tired or frazzled or
losing their tempers or their held en
their holiday. I liked their faithfulness
and yet their asking nnd accepting no
favors from each ether where business
was business, and it was the right of
one te go and of the ether te stay en
and finish. I admired the buennt.
agreeable way the one who remained
said geed -night te me as I, tee, went
my way, and then the next Instant was
deep In the cranky one's 'impossible
manuscript,' tnpplng it off with unhur
ried, decided fingers."
yOU can see from these four sketches
from life why in a way my friend
has u triumphant sense of oneness with
her readers, whv she feels that she is
just talking with them, with un open
fire flickering before them nnd a quiet
ness of understanding in their hearts.
I have ahvajs liked the pra,er: "Fer
nil sorts and condition of men" in
the Prayer Heek, nnd my heart
bus never failed te leap up and bent
faster when I read the Inst great
thanksgiving and dedication prnver
thnt our Lord made en the eve of His
triumphant death where in Ills prayer
te the disciples He includes the gen
erations of His followers who were yet
unborn :
"I pray net that Theu sheuldst tnkc
them from the world, but that Theu
sheuldst keep them from the evil of the
world. ' Consecrate them In
the truth and for their sakes
I dedicate Myself, thnt they themselves
may be consecrated. Neither for these
only de I make request, but for them
that believe in .Me through their word,
that they may all be one, even as Theu
Father art In Me and I in Thee

'Te "Bebe, Cerlnna and Cennie"
Why did you write three letters ? Be

Is Indifferent or seems te like you. Yeu
are tee young te be worried about such
things.
. Qe On Being Friends With Them
Dear Cynthia I am a dally reader of
your helpful column, please answer some
questions for me. Thank you, I am a
Klrl Just seventeen, but I am quite n
let elder In my ways, sometimes taken
for twenty. New, Cynthln, I am going
with young men all elder than myself,
the yeungeat twenty-five and the eldest
twenty-eight 1 am net In love with
these men as most Klrls say they are,
but they are all college men and true
friends. Cynthia, de you think I should
travel with younger men? I have tried
going with boys seventeen and eighteen
but they bore me te death with their
silliness. New please tell me. Cynthia,
am I doing right? MAY QUEEN.
There Is no reason why you should net
be friends with these elder men as long
n you are sensible enough te reallze
that you are net In leve with them. But
If you meet younger boys, de net enub
them Just en account of their age, but
find out first whether they can be con-
?:enlnl. Yeu nre very wise te be Just
rlends. Cynthia wishes mere girls of
your age would be willing te think of
boys In this way. Instead of thinking
that they must be in leve with every
ene they meet.
"Harp" Searching for Ideal Girl

"Speed Ball" Disagrees With "Mutt
and Jeff"
Dear Cvnthla S'omntlmeji whnn T nm
looking through the paper I step and
read veur wonderful column fnr a. few
minutes. I have never written te you
before but have been extremely interest-
eu in rome 01 uie articles written by
your readers. In reading your column
the ether dav I ret lnterr.tpri in inn
articles, one by two fellows signed Mutt
and Jeff, the ether by a flapper called
Puppy and I would llke te pass some
criticism en them.
Mutt and Jeff write Uint tliev nr
disgusted with girls Just because they
have seen girls with bobbed hair, short
BKins, etc., ana incy say tnat girls or
this type Imae lest their reputation. I
wonder what Mutt and Jeffs Idea of a
girl with a geed reputation Is? I would
like te Inform Mutt and Jeff thut the
manner of dress has nothing- te de with
a person's reputation. I nm a young
man nineteen years of aire anil hmm
fiulte a fair pitcher en a baseball team.
1 nave waved in a number of iliftWnnt
cities and towns and have met quit a
lew gins. 1 nave met an Kinds, all sizes
nil shapes and all different tvpes of
girls that an innocent fellow like me
could desire, und let me Inform Mutt and
Jtrff that the girls which they de&plse
such as bebhed hair, short skirts, etc.,
I adore. Mutt and Jeff wrote that they
would like te hear from some senslble
fdlews like themselves. Well. I have
answered, but If they are tensible, I'm
net.
New a few words for Puppy. Tuppy,
you're the kind of a girl that I admire.
We nre only young ence und we have
only ene life te live and I believe in
having a i;oed time while one Is young,
and net wait until you have your place
In the graveyard prepared. Puppy, you're
simply splendid In my opinion In every
thing jeu hue stnted, but ene thing, I
can't iiulte agree with you en smoking
Girls are fetnlnlne und are te be ad
mired by most men, but smoking Is for
the male type. Did you ever bee one
man admire, another?

An Outsider Answers "Dec"
Dear Cynthia Have often read your
column with Interest, but have never
written before. But seeing a letter
recently written by "Dec," I Just can't
keep quiet any mere. I think that he
makes a pretty strong statement when
he says Philadelphia has no morals, and
blames it all en the women.
Peer woman ! Ever since Adam they
have blamed it all en us; that seems te
be the proper thing. Why don't you
lords of creation set the pace you knew
nry well we drc.s Just te nlensi- nn
and act llke we think jeu want us te,
only women won't acknowledge It. We
get tired of etaylng at home quietly till
you get ready te ceme around and
marry us when you nre through run
ning around with the flappers. Se we
flap a little, tee, Just te let you knew
were alive. "Dec" Bays we nre foolish
te blame It en the men. Of course,
the shoe Is en a different feet
Deur Cynthia I am net roasting the
men : de net think ae. I have the
nicest husband and brothers In the
world, and I knew lets of, fine men.
But It sure gets mv goat the way they
all talk about girls and women, nnd
especially Phlladelphlnns.
New, "Dec," let me tell you some
thing. I lived In Norfolk, Va nearly
three years, and In that time I traveled
ever a geed part of the State. It Is
a fine State, but I'll say I didn't sen
any wings en thn girls and women down
there, either. There was Just us much
smoking and drinking, Just us much low
down dancing and mere paint und pow
der. I'll net say anything about the
men. But Phllly hasn't get a coiner
en ail the wIckedneM of the world; you'd
knew that It you had open around ery
much. I am net a native of Philadel
phia ; In fact, net of this State, but I
think It's peer jiellcy te go te a town
and roast Its women. Yeu will ittr
make friends that way. I think jeu
must have been very unfortunate In your
acquaintances already.
And If you de net llke Phllly, there
sure urn enough trains and beats out of
It which would taue you te tnat virtuous
little town In old Vlrglnny.
Dear Cynthia, when I flr.U read that
letter from peer little "Puppy," te tay
I was dltgurted Is no word, I sure
wished she was my Itld sister for nbeut
half nn hour. But later I get te think
ing surely, there "ain't no such ani
mal " New, I think she Just wants te
shock some of the old sober sides. It
in hanllv neuslble any girl would nn.
knowledge publicly these things about
herself unless sne was a degenerate
When T was single I did net bob my
hair or dress Immodestly, or drink,
smoke, chew or swear. But I always
had a beau, although I was net u ''beau
tiful young girl with golden hair, con
sidered popular with the ether x." 1
did net huve petting parties till I wns
engaged. I never saw any sense In It
before. Yet I don't consider mvstlf n

"Rut you said I

"I?" Very much surprised, he was,
tee, "I? Nonsense, dent est. Never

"Yeu did, dear! Yeu said se yes

kissed the adorable dimple in her chin.
"Bad girl, you. Old man never said

Never even thought of it before net

Khc fingered his necktie, but new her

"Yeu said I nagged you yesterday."
He grew stern und just the least bit

"New, honey, you knew I never said

Ah, Virginia, why net let it go at

Hut no!

Can Yeu Tell?
By R. J. and A. W. lledmer
Why Blue Serge Leeks Best en Most
Men
Te one who has studied color combi
nation this Is net u foolish question,
but n fact based en the theory of color
harmony. The reason the average man
leeks better In a blue serge suit than
in one of another color Is because blue
is a complementary color te yellow nnd
red the colors in the complexion of the
avernge man.
Muny of us have felt the agreeable
sensations that come te us ns a result
of u pleasing color effect, nnd we urc
sometimes charmed with the effect with
out having any particular knowledge
of the combinations of color thnt pro
duce it, nor jet of the color clashes
which their combinations produce.
In the case of the blue Milt of clothes,
the blue of the cloth harmonizes well
with the ypllew and red of the human
complexion. These colors nre comple
mentary te each ether, which means
they they urc opposite te each ether.
If you mix complementary colors to
gether, each loses something, thnt Is,
they neutralize each ether, whereas,
wni-ii jiim.ru iiinngsiac ni cucii ether,
each of them increuses the color of the
ether.
Artists who have mode a lifetime
study of color nnd color combinations
have determined thnt there are three di
mensions or qualities, as they call them,
te color, just ns there nre three dimen
sions te n room. These are, hue, vnlua
and chrema. Its hue makes It possible
for us te distinguish o-e color from
another; taking Its chrema net, we
find that it ennblcs us te distinguish
strong colors from weak ones; and the
value of thn color Is the quality bv
which we tell n light ene from a dark
one. A color is either light or dark,
according te the amount of light which
it throws off.

Carey Phelps, arrlvet In time te pre
vent the catattrephe,
CHAPTER VI
The Plan
pARBY'S scheme te make Clte pay
-J for the suffering she had caused
Dick was colossal. All his life he had
been cynical concerning women. He
had a contempt for their weaknesses,
and such a woman as he judged Clee te
be was fair prey.
Hit plan was te meet her, nnd te play
her own game mere skillfully than she
had ever played it. He would win her
love, bring her in abject abandonment
te his feet and then laugh at her as
she had laughed at Dick. The idea de
lighted him. He thought it would be
great fun, and he could hardly wait te
make his first move.
Carey was net a boy; he was thirty
four, nine years elder than Click. He
had a lean, swarthy face and gray eyes
that had never been known te soften
under the influence of a woman. Per
uana it was partly because of the way
women had thrown themselves at him
that he thought, se little of the sez;
but he would enjoy a battle with an
experienced coquette, a woman who had
many scalps attached te her belt. II
would be a came well worth playing and
one which he was quite confident of
winning.
If he could have seen Clee at the
moment when his plan first occurred
te him, he would bave been surprised.
Certainly no ene in the world would
ever have taken her for a professional
vampire, a scheming adventuress, a
heartless coquette, or a deliberate flirt.
Bhe was net even a baby vamp or a cold
blooded little flapper; but she was a
very much frightened and rather dis
illusioned girl. She was unhappy and
Mck at heart because of what had hap
pened. She was fearful of the conse
quences, and she actually distrusted
herself because of the things that Dick
had said.
His accusations had made her see
her own experiences in a different light,
and until tonight she had been se
happy. She had given herself lavishly
te life, and life had hurt her. Dick,
her geed friend, had misunderstood her,
he had accused her of encouraging hlui,
of leading him en, and It wasn't true.
Dick had always been se reverent with
her.
There had never been light caresses
and kisses between them, just a rather
beautiful friendship that was new
smirched with Eerdidness and seemed
cheap and ugly.
In her nightdress, ever which she had
thrown a light negligee, Clee sat hud
dled at the feet of her bed. She wns
fearful of what tomorrow might bring.
She was uncertain as te just what Dick
had meant by these wild words, but that
terrible suspicion persisted. Suppose he
did something desperate. If he did, her
own life would be ever. She would
never marry; she would never knew
what it meant te love a man with all
her heart and soul, for Just as Dick had
said, he would stand between her and
the man she would some day love. Tiie
shadow of his memory would be with her
ulways.
In the darkness she threw out her
soft bnre arms in an agony of terror.
Het tears stele down her cheeks.
Leve, what was it? Half her life
she. had dreamed about it, and alwnys
it had seemed te her that it loomed just
ahead, thnt her days were filled with n
kind of a husband wniting for its com
ing. And as she crouched thcre in thr.
darkness, crying out her heart for a
man she hnd unconsciously hurt, love
was indeed looming up just ahead of
her, but what n love I It wns n love
that would take all nnd give nothing;
It was the love thnt Carey Phelps was
planning te threw In her face after he
was sure that he had wen her heart.

Maybe you nre, yourself, In an ex
ecutive position. Maybe you are net,
but expect snme dny that you will be.
Here's a problem for you :
Suppose you have arrived nt a point
where you have two jobs te hand out.
One of them is the kind of poMtlen
which requires attention primarily te
present problems, requires concentra
tion, nnd at the same time requires
adaptability. Let us say thut you arc
n builder, thnt you are going te employ
two architects nnd thnt the foregoing
work will be that of drawing plans,
first for one building nnd then for an
other. The work of the ether architect will
be thnt of dealing with the bub-con-tracters,
seeing that they de their work
properly, that they don't interfere with
ene another, und that in spite nf the
friction flint is bound te arise uew und
then, they finish their jobs in n
spirit of geed will toward you und
will be ready te give you the best serv
ice they cuu in the future.
New you hnve two candidates who,
se far as their training nnd experience
go, urn equally geed, One of them has
ii long head, the ether n short head.
Te which will you give which job?
Give the drawing of the plans te the
short -bended one. He tins net the same
tendency te far-sightedness thnt tlip
ether heB. He's npt se sociable In his
Inclinations nnd is therefore better nble
te concentrate en material work. Alse
he 1 changeable, and therefore would
readily jump from the plans of one op.
