women worked, and .'egulated their own
lives, and refused te be mated te ma ma
eeus old men by the mala members of
their family.
' Ilut all this information came irrnil
nelly, and tee late. Fer the noble
r;irl had been purchased by an old mil mil
ienaire, Illiterate nnd common, and for
ten years was forced te be his wife
and smother alt of her ideals. She
tried te "de her duty." for tradition
has n powerful influence, and duty is
ingrained in the very fiber of one's be
ing in Oriental countries.
FINALLY, however, a limit te her
endurance wni reached. She had
bad n glimpse of the marvelous possi
bilities for joy of real and yeuni: love.
In some way, she met a beautiful boy
of twenty-one, who was a student at
the university. She knew then that
her marriage te the hideous old million
aire wns a profanation, and she ran
awny from him.
A long letter told him of her suffer
ing, nnd of hew hard she had tried te
adapt herself, and lx docile and obedi
ent. It begged him for her freedom. It
was very pathetic.
All Japun resounded with the "scan
dal"; a wife escaped from her husband,
hew atrocious and unheard of! What
were women coming te, if high-born
ladies revolted against parental and
marital authority That wag what
came of opening up the pert te foreign
trade and letting Anglo-Saxen free
ideas percolate into conservative old
Nippon 1
The White Letus, whose poems had
charmed the younger generation, had
disappeared entirely. Her clansman
were frantic and humiliated.
AT LAST she was found living
quietly in a little cottage belong
ing te a friend. She. who had dwelt
in castles I It Is net told that she
fled te her lever. Perhaps she had
net quite the courage for that ; but she
did revolt against the old husband.
Her relatives met In conclave with
his. They begged him te divorce her.
He consented, only with the stipulation
that tliey apologize! Apolegizo for his
long incarceration of youth and beauty
and n fragile, sensitive butterfly? Apol
ogize for having sold their little White
Letus? Ne, apologize for her outrage
ous conduct.
At last she wns free. Hut she had
net the Btrength te enjoy her freedom.
She might read foreign literature, nnd
she might strike a blew for her sex
against the inhuman marriage customs
of the Orient. But n frail girl is net
strong eneugli te stand up against cen
turies of tradition that rushes upon her
like n mighty flood nnd engulfs her.
Despite nil her convictions nnd noble
poems en woman's freedom te shape
her own destiny, she succumbed te
pressure nnd entered a nunnery. We
de net knew what terrible force wns
employed, or what the vows Include
in the secluded convents of the Oriental
religion, but we knew that one voice
is stilled forever, as if in death.
HEtt example will have a tremendous
effect upon future Japanese women,
however, nnd strengthen their resolu
tion te refuse mercenary and loveless
marriages.
new lucky are we who enjoy freedom
of choice! Even if we make mistakes,
they nre our own mistakes, and we ex
press our own love.
THIS DAY AND YOU
By Ralph Walde Trine
Auther of "In Tens Willi the InOnlU."
EUROPE IS DUST
A keen nnd unbiased observer is nn
asset te any country. It was a true
ervicc rendered by Charles K. Mitchell,
president of the National City Hank of
New Yerk, when en his return from nn
extended trip abroad, a few days age,
among ether things he said that he
could "sec no reason for the vile pes
simism about European conditions that
Is being se assiduously circulated."
England Is busy, he reports, and is
firmly en the upgrade te prosperity.
France is busy, and has already re
covered a long way.
Belgium is busy.
Germany is busy, and is already
reaching out for the commerce of the
world. She is competing se keenly In
prices that she Is getting new business
ih various lines in many parts of tee
world that America nnd England and
'ether countries are failing te get.
Business conditions in the Scandi
navian countries are satisfactory, and
are centinuallv improving.
It is Mr. Mitchell's clear-cut opinion
that a fuller co-operation en the part
of America will be of the greatest pos
sible value, net only te the European
countries but te ourselves as well.
Speaking of the reparations question,
and the question of the Allied debts, Mr.
Mitchell said: "I de net think the
German reparation question nnd the
ether questions that are linked with it
can be settled until the Allied debts are
settled. ...
"It is felly for America te expect
prompt payment of the principal or tbe
extension of the Allied debts at high
Interest rates. I believe, in the end,
we will respect their views, which are
nleng the line of long payments en these
debts at a low rate of Interest during
the mnturine period. If the Allied debts
are adjusted en this line we will see
that the German reparation problem
will seen be settled.
"With that problem out of the wny, '
he edded. "we will find a reversal of
form setting in ever Europe. Business
conditions there will then leek like real
prosperity." ......
Mr. Mitchell painted a bright picture
also of the reconstruction work In the
demolished parts of France, and said
thet out of approximately T.OM.OOO
acres devastated, mere than 6,000.000
have been rehabilitated and are again
productive. Out of a former popula
tion of 4,700.000 en thee lands, there
are new nlready 4,100,000 living en
them. . , ,
Faith and hope and courage and in
iJustry are as productive of real results
In industrial and in national and In
ternational affairs as they nre in in
dividual life.

The Reckless Age

Aline Feuler is a spoiled member

who later breaks the engagement
because of Allne's flirtation icith
Masen Leng. Aline turns her at'
tentien te Leng only te discover that
she Is actually in love with him, and
that he is merely using her for copy
in a novel he is writing en the ja:3
age. This is a terrifying blew te her
pride and when her father meets with
financial reverses Aline gees te Mat
thew Hutchins, a big producer, and
asks him te pive her a chance in his
new play. Hutchins sees premise In
the girl and he puts her through a
severe course of training until, when
the play opens, she has lest a great
deal of her ego. The critics are vlr
tually unanimous in their praise of
her acting.
The Shadow of the Past
THEItE was only one incident that
served te dim the glory of Allne's
rather triumphant debut en the stage,
nnd thnt waa the publishing of Masen
Leng's book.
"The Probe" had opened in August
and the book which Leng had called
"Headstrong Youth" was published
about tbe middle of September. Aline
had been watching for it. Each day she
looked for advance notices of It in the
papers, and when nt last it was out,
and she actually had a copy of It in
her possession, the .past rose up te re

The Virginia of the book lest the
true love that she finally coveted juet
as the Aline In real life had done, and
as Aline read the last page, and put the
book from her, she fell te reflecting.
There was one thing she had te be
thankful for. he bad never suspected
hew much she cared. At lenst she
had spared her pride that additional
blew, but would he ever knew that
she had redeemed hcrBelf? Would the
time ever come when, stnndlng face te

careless Aline Fester of the pest had be

hard-working woman at that?
Thnt was nil she asked of life, nnd
Fete had stren?e wajs of making things
come te pass. But unlens she made the
flrrt move, and she could never de thnt
it hardly seemed pesblble that she would
ever sec him again.
Aline rose from her chair and walk

If she had but known it, the change
in her had been far renchlng. Her
beautiful mouth hail lest its petulnnt
expression, und her ces were no longer
bored. But the most outstanding
change in her was due te her hair.
When Masen Leng had met her. Aline
had worn the cropped hair he pepulnr
among the girls of the younger set.
Every five or six months she had paid
fabulous Hums te have It waved at a
fashionable Fiftli avenue establishment,
but since the change In her father's

Yes, the old Aline hnd almost

thoughtful nnd far mere mysterious

were just as they bad always been.
And then something happened that
made her realize the trutn nnd left

Use a Knife. Ferk and Speen Stand
and Keep Your Steve Clean
During the course of cooking it is
often necessary te lay down ene'i
knives and forks. Unless you have
something en which te place them, you
will most likely lay them en the side
of the stove. This necessitates extra
cleaning. Yeu can prevent this If you
make a knife stand. Any housewife
who appreciates nice things In her
kitchen will like one of these as a gift.
Cever a piece of extra heavy card
board, or a thin wooden beard, with
white oilcloth. Decorate It In some
simple wny with blue enamel. This
s.and is placed nt the side of tbe stove.
After the meal is cooked it is a simple
matter te wash the knife, fork and
spoon stand. FLORA,
Fable Of The Foolish
Once up in a time there dwelt a
woman who said within herself, "Ge
te, I will have a husband who Is just
a little Mlffrenf."
And, when the suitors who might be
deemed iTMrnble by the censorship of
The Last Resort came te wee this
Particular One, Le, she cried.
"Avaunt!" And peeled her optics for
some species of the towering genii.
And nt Inst it came te pass that the
woman met the Diff'rent One. And
btraigbtway they were married. Fer
genius tarries net but craves action,
desiring ever te move en te greater
heights.
But. alas I Shertlv after mirrlnn.
in tbe se called days of her leisure,
me wue 01 tne genius sac nerseucewn
between tbe washing of dishes and
of bsblcs-nnd cried out with great ween
ing, -L,e and Alack! Would tbat my
husband were like ether men!"
Merel: Men bem of women are like
hen's eggs. These arcatlv "diff'rent"
are apt te be unpalatable.
Adventures With a Purse
I STOOD in front of the window, half
dozen te death, and yet I steed te
watch the funny old fellow dance. He
is dressed in a sailor suit and attached
te the deck of a beat that leeks like a
battleship and when a key is wound
he begins te dance, n jelly jig which
is the sailor's hornpipe. Up and down
he gees, his arms swinging back and
forth te keep time te a merry tune
which must be jangling in his me
chanical bead. He is but 05 cents
and I m sure there is some little per
son you knew who would leve te have
him.
Candy is usually thought of at
Christmas along with the holly nnd
trees and ether traditional things.
Perhaps there Is some one .te whom
you would give a specially nice box,

Fancy Gloves
Te bring your gloves absolutely up te
date, line the flaring wrists with beau
tiful brocade or brilliant-colored rib

elaborate than they are this season,

quite as important as the Btripe en the

Dear Cynthia May I address a few
words te J'B. O. L'r
Dear "S. O. L." I certainly agree
with Cynthia In that you are gravely
mistaken that Philadelphia girls hate
a uniform. I for one love every boy
In a uniform and think that they are
just splendid. In fact, I should be proud
te go out with a boy In uniform thinking
they are se fine as te give themselves te
their country's servlce. I have many
girl friends who think the same as I de,
and none of us would ever think of ask
ing '"When' de we eat?" Te be truth
ful, I quite often persuade a boy friend
te go somewhere ether than he has sug
gested for fear It wilt be tee mueh of
a tax en his pocketbook. There are some
girls who de net like a uniform, as
there are also some geld-diggers, but
you will always find opposite In every
phase of life. Se keep looking Marine
and I'm sure you'll nnd the girl you
seek and' really no longer be "S. O. L."

Hla Conduct la Unpardonable
Dear Cynthia I have been reading
your Interesting column for home
time, though I have never written
te you befere and would like te
have your opinion en what I am
about te tell you. I have been going
with a young man almost a year, I
like him very much and he has always
treated me with the highest respect.
The only trouble Is both of us are very
quick tempered and quarrel ever mere
trifles. A few nights age we went te a
friend's house; all went well. We
started for home around 11 o'clock. I
noticed, after we get en the car, he
kept very silent, se I asked him some
thing. He answered me very sharply. We
changed cars and had te wait about
fifteen minutes for the ether car te
come; still he never spoke. Finally
he saw the car coming and he handed
rtie a casa iftid naM h hed tn nVa
another car that went In a different
dlrectlep te mlne and let me go home
alone. I haven't heard from him sice.
I de net knew why he did that Thank
ing you for any Information.
' PUZZLED.
The young man's behavior Is perfectly
unpardonable, unless he apolegises very
sincerely you would be very foolish
te have further friendship with him.
Answers Three Writers
Dear Cynthia May I thank you ter
some very geed advice I received
through , your column, from "Starry

really de net approve of kissing. Thank
you very much for your geed advice

Te "A Flapper": I am very grateful
for your "word," which was mifflclent
I assure you. I am trying te de as you
say. and I believe It Is working out fine.
I shall never be a sparrow the secenu.
I at least have a little common sense.
There are quite a number of people who
are against kissing, and whose Ideas are
rather ancient but I am glad that you
are etIU "A Flapper." Won't you write
again T
Te "Fuller Fun": Your letter did hele
te meld my thoughts and If my letter
Induced you te write, I am glad. Thank
you for saying I sound reasonable, I

but the promiscuous, obvious wearing
of It undeubtedjy has.
If you bob it new you don't adver
tise the fact.
Yeu pretend that It la long, you brush
It until It shines, you wave ft In long,
loose wares and you pull It back aeftly,
becomingly, but surety, securing It with
hairpins, a comb and a net ae that it
makes at least the semblance of a knot
at the back of your head.
r'B funny te see bow many of these
sleek heads there are, In comparison
with the numbers of shaggy, wild ones
you saw last year.
It Is net surprising that rbe change
has come. . ,
There Is always a mere or less violent
reaction from anything that sweeps the
country se completely as the bobbed balr
erase did. v
These who did net cut their hair
are new wearing It as the country girl
en the stace does in soft waves back
from the face, with & loose, graceful
knot at the back.
It is se simple and plain that It js
almost severe.
But there are various reasons be
sides reaction for It.
The girl with bobbed hair does leek
like her little sister dressing up when
she appears In one of tbe new sweep
ing dresses,' clinging about the hips in
graceful drapes, drooping toward the
oer until only n glimpse, of silken
ankle Is nllewcd, Instcnd of last year's
frank exhibition of athletic woolen calf.
She has te pull her balr in. and give
it a little mere dignity than it used te
have.
Then there's the little feminine weak
ness which we must admit with some
of these who went In for bobbed hair.
They did it because their elders seemed
te be somewhat shocked and disgusted
at their delng.it.
While people talked, it was fun te
