12 Life's Problems Are Discussed By Mrs. Wilson Wood row ® Ceturies ago, not quite four years in reality, the old strange world with its old, strange gods, was taking its last maddest, merriest lling. It danc ed night and day! There was some where an old superstition that a dancing craze had always preceded a great war. But nobody heeded it, nobody heeded anything. Nobody cared for anything—but to dance. And the king of the revels was a famous dariaer, and its queen was his lovely wife—Vernon and Irene Castle. Broadway had crowned them, and Irene, the etherial, exquisite dancer, whose light feet scarcely touched the ground, at once led and epitomized the whole world of women. She set the fashions. The fabrics, the mo des which best suited her slender, swaying grace were eagerly copied by women of every class. The way she wore her hair—that famous "Castle bob"—her hats, all werej copied with a slavish accuracy. Fori women have never stopped to con-! pider whether the mode suits them or not; the law of the pack is "suit the mode!" Mrs. Castle not only danced in comparably, and wore her clothes with an art which only one woman in ten thousand understands. Her husband and herself invented and introduced new dances, and extend ed their kingdom. At their bid ding there rose "Castle House" and "Castle by the Sea" and "Castles in the Air"—palaces of birth and mu sic. The Castles grew richer every moment. Their income was pro digious, six hundred thousand dol lars a year. TliAi the volcano burst. Europe was a battleground.

But here we were still safe, the wastes of the spa guaranteed our security and here birth made its last stand. The war was sweeping over the globe, but Broadway still danced. Poe has symbolized the whole story in his "Masque of the Red Death": "There was much glare and glit ter and piquancy and phantasm. There was much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible, and not a little which might" have excited disgust. And thus it hap pened that there were many in dividuals in the crowd who had found leisure to become aware of the presence of a masked figure. And the rumor of this new pres ence having spread itself whisper ingly around, there arose at length from the whole company a mur mur expressive of disapprobation and surprise, then finally of terror, of horror." This awe-inspiring Masked Figure —the presence of war in the world —could not be ignored. There are matters of which no jest can be* made. It had carried a message to I the soul of Vernon Castle, and awaU- | ened an unerring response. Through! all the trivialities of his crowded life | thera sounded unceasingly in his; ears that still, small voice: "Yourj country needs you!" Its thrilling: note of virile reality made all the trivial preoccupation | of his mind contemptible. The evo-j lution of new dance steps, the pur chase of polo ponies, of estates, of I jewels, of objects of art, of pedigreed] dogs suddenly seemed frivolous and | loathsome. So insistent was the voice chat I even the jazz music and laughter! of Broadway could not drown it. To the dancer there came that mo ment of choice which comes once to every man and nation. There was but one answer. He was an Englishman by birth, and the voice in his ears said. "Eng land calls you!"—that mother voice j which has called back men from the! ends of the earth to tight and die i for her. He announced his inten- j HARMSBTJHG TELEGRAPH tion of enlisting; in the allied forces I against Germany. ' Broadway smiled and put its i tongue in its cheek—cynical, sot ting Broadway. Give tip a soft liv ing, luxuries, unconsidered spending, for the grime, the stench, the hard work and hazards of war? Oh, never! Several weeks went by. and still he had not gone. Broadway laughed again. He would not go, of course. I It learned later that he had spent i those three weeks in payiiig all his < debts. Then he quietly slipped | away. The .story of how he serried with i honor at the front in France and : met his death while acting as an j instructor in aviation in this coun-! try is too well known to need re- i capitulation. On a gray February day a crowd! numbering thousands stood in the wet, cold streets and watched his body borne into the Little Church' ! Around the Corner. Broadwayi | which had laughed, new wept. And j : the man in the streets also un-1 j covered his head —an instinctive 1 tribute to unealculating courage. Irene Castle walks in heavy mourning. A black veil covers her I graceful head. But still as In the Iridescent, whirling hours, the fairy dancer epitomizes the world of women—women all over the earth, whose hearts have been broken and ! lives made desolate by the Masked Specter of the Red Death. The revels are over. The days of magnificent spending are past. And yet Irene Castle is a richer woman to-dav than she was in that dead, mad world, with its dead, strange gods. She has a living mem- j ory which for her is Imperishable and touched with the supernal. I Vernon Castle went from noto riety to fame. His career and his deeds will remain one of the ro mantic legends of the war. "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world ar.d lose his own soul?" He had gained the whole world, and drained it. And something fine in him, some splendid fiber urged and impelled him to his great de nunciation. Dickens concludes his undying story of the days of the French Revolution with some unforgot table words. How fittingly could the dancer who died a hero have spoken them: "It is a far better thing that T do than that I have ever done. It is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."

THEIR MARRIE Copyright bj International News Service "Why, it's twice as cold as it was when we went in," Helen remarked as they came out of the theater. "Regular winter night," Warren returned. "Better turn up your col lar around your throat. Don't tell me that you have on low shoes." "But dear," Helen protested, "all the women are wearing them, and it has been so mild." "Mild! Just because it happens that we have a couple of nice days you women get out your spring things and make fools of your selves. Low shoes and a fur coat! I always thought straw hats at this time of the year were the limit, but low shoes are worse." Helen glanced down at her gray suede Oxford ties and thin silken clad ankles. Even though the icy blast stung her skin under the light covering, she could not help notic ing how trim her feet looked. She bit her lip and said nothing, only stole a glance at Warren's grim countenance. After they had walked a block Warren began to hold his gloved fingers against his ears. It was al ways around the ears that Warren felt the cold first, and Helen, who was perfectly comfortable save for her feet, could not help exclaiming: "Why, dear, are you really that cold?" Really that cold! My ears are numb. No wonder you don't mind it with that fur collar up around your throat." Helen looked ahead at the swirl ing dust that swept around the cor ners and reflected that they had still several blocks to walk, but she was determined not to complain nor to suggest a taxi. She was struggling along in an effort to keep up with Warren's long strides, when she no ticed an automobile slotv up along the curb. Beliind the glass of the luxurious limousine the chauffeur was beckoning to them, or it seem ed as though he was. "Warren, that man is beckoning to you!" "Nonsense! He's trying to attract that girl's attention," as a girl hur ried by them. "No, he isn't dear; he wants you; you'd better stop." Helen was certainly right and the man did seem to be trying to attract their attention. Warren, aft er a second's hesitation, walked over to the machine, whereupon the driver stopped the car and threw open the door. The inside offered a cozy shelter from the bitter wind, for it was thoroughly warmed and comfortable. "Going my way?" queried a jolly voice. "If so, won't you get in and let me give you a lift?" I-Ie spoke in an easy, well-bred manner, yet Helen noticed that he wore a chauffeur's uniform. She had stepped into the car and settled herself on the cushioned seat be fore she noticed that Warren look ed .blacker than ever as he com plied. She wondered what made him so unappreciative, but as the inti macy of the closed car prevented her asking him, she stuck to gener alities and remarked. "It ws a good bill, wasn't It, dear?" The entire Incident seemed an exciting adventure to Helen; she couldn't imagine such a thing hapi- Daily Dot Puzzle 37 se 4© * VV 4 * 35. r^* 45 4B .44 " 5+ 3** \- 5Z 47* •' A l • % 47 * .46 61 e k 30- "• .• . 5? *a 43 50 • 29* • *2 Z 27. * .53 .7a •to • 21 *64. 25 4 • 2i .1% 20* .45 S • 19 • tfc .

Warren's Countenance was as black as a thunder cloud as he muttered something unintelligible. "Here's our cornen" he said to the driver, who slowed the car, obediently, and turned toward them a very boyish countenance, with an engaging smile. Warren helped Helen out, and then held out a fifty-cent piece. "Here you are," he said, shortly. "No, thanks," the man returned. "I didn't ask you to get in for that. I just thought I could do you a good turn, that's all." Helen, who had flushed uncom fortably at Warren's curt proffer ing of the tip, spoke impulsively be fore Warren could interfere. "Do get out and come upstairs for a minute, won't you?" she said, warmly. "You could" get warm and I'll make you a cup of coffee." "Why, thank you, but I couldn't do that," the boy returned. He was hardly more than a boy, and a boy of exceptional education, for his diction was good and his grammar correct. "Glad I could do It for you: Good night." And with a re spectful touch of his cap he was gliding away from the curb. "Warren, how could you be so rude?" Helen exclaimed as they gained the entrance to the apart ment house. "Well, how could I tell that he wasn't one of those chauffeurs out to make a llt.tle coin while the peo ple who own the car are at some shindig? Crazy Idea, stopping us like that." "I think It was lovely Idea," said Helen impulsively, "and if liv- Charming Styles \W Smart Women Will J/f Wear Easter Sunday !• J^j 11T LJERE are styles Fashion \ V" Easter Sunday, and all /?*■ ; \f * y*lwl 11 luring Spring and summer.
