The "politics" of th.s Woman's Kan

discussed among the membership. In
asmuch as the presidency of the club
is a position that has been more or

ton, Mass., and wife of S. S. Curry.
Ph. D., Lilt. D., president of the
school. It is her plan to conduct a
midwinter term of classes in this city
from February 2 to March 1. The
term will be held in the Topeka high
school, and will offer credits toward
the diploma course of the school for
regular students. The work will be
in voice, correction of defective
speech, mind, body and voice train
ing, reading, public speaking, Bible
reading for ministers, platform and
dramatic art, extemporaneous speak
ing, and studies of scenes from Shake
speare. Mrs. Curry belongs to a celebrated
Boston family, being descended from
the Carpenter and Baright families of
Revolutionary and Colonial times.
General Barker, who served in the
revolution and the war of 1812, was
an ancestor of hers. She is a gradu
ate of Cook's Collegiate institute,
Poughkeepsie, K. Y., and also of the
Boston University School of Oratory.
While she was very young she at
tracted attention by her dramatic
ability. Soon after graduating from
Cook's Institute, she took a position as
teacher of expression in the Milwau
kee Female college.
Prof. Lewis B. Monroe, Dean of the
Boston University School of Oratory,
recognized her powers, and under his
influence she continued her studies.
In 1877 she was graduated from the
School of Oratory with the highest
class honors, and appointed by the
faculty to represent the class of 1877
at the first Boston University com
mencement held in Tremont Temple.
In July, 1879, she opened at Mar
tha's Vineyard the first summer school
of oratory held in the United States.
Professor Monroe was to have con
ducted this school, with Miss Baright
as an assistant.
Professor Monroe died at the open
ing of the term, and Miss Baright
conducted the school to the end of the
session.
On May 31, 18S2, she was married
to S. S. Curry, Ph. D., afterward Snow
Professor of Oratory in Boston Uni
versity and founder of the School of
Expression, Boston, and on June first
sailed with her husband for Europe,
where, they spent several months in
travel, returning to Boston the fol
lowing autumn.
Mrs. Curry's strongest characteris
tic is the harmonious co-ordination of
intellectual and emotional . power.
Her dramatic instinct has developed
into a deep insight into truth. She
has done some strong creative work
in the vocal interpretation of the dra
matic and lyric spirits in literature,
notably in her readings from Mrs.
Browning's "The Rhyme of the
Duchess May", old ballads, Shelley's
"Prometheus Unbound," and Rossetti's
"Sister Helen"; of the epic spirit in
an adaptation from Homer's Illiad and
modern epic poems.

BETTER OF A DEBUTANTE.
Dear S. R.
Everybody is quite possessed to get
a look at the wonderful diamond in its
platinum setting that is beinff worn
by a Topeka girl. It is thought to be
the largest stone, of its kind in cap
tivity in Topeka, and its cost- well, it
sounds like war figures, and not war
economy figures either. As she didn't
wear it for a good while after she re
ceived it, for reasons that I am not
going to explain to you, not everyone
in town haj had a look at it. It is cer
tain that another ring is to be placed
above it in the near future by the same
person who slipped that beauty onto
the tell-tale finger.
The -other evening I was reading a
story by O. Henry, and nearly jumped
out of my negligee and slippers when
I saw the names of two Topeka men
not two lines apart. This is what it
said: "'Boys,' said the lieutenant,
waving his hand to the rangers, 'this
is Jimmie Hayes. Captain MacLean
has sent him down.' ' Can you beat
it? Captain MacLean is our local war
hero who was on the Mexican border
and is now in the army, and Jimmie
Hayes of course everybody knows. By
the way, speaking of the Jimmie
Hayses but that is another story.
tl hear a story about little Patricia
Shoaf, whose confusion of pedple and
articles of furniture is forming the
stock joke of the family to which she I
belongs. One of the adoring km- j
folks of the child makes frequent use
of the telephone on days when it is
impossible ior her to make a visit to
the baby "Pat." And now the child
calls every telephone she sees "Aunt
Daisy."
The Red Cross continues to occupy
the center of the stage, A Red Cross
conference was held at the First Meth
odist church Friday night and the
most polished, sane, fair-minded, clear
headed speaker I have had an oppor
tunity to hear since the war began was
on the program. I hope you heard
John D. Barry. If you didn't, you
; have something coming. He was such
a finished and agreeable speaker
without any of that oratorical, bal
looning bombast, that characterizes so
many western platform performers
that I made inquiry about nim. He is
the same Mr. Barry who writes for
some of the high class magazines, and
they say he is very close to the presi
dent. And going on with this Red Cross
meander, 1 have just heard it said
that seven million women of America
are giving- utterly without remuneration-
their work to the Red Cross
society. These women leave their
homes and take all the time they can
spare from their business, to engage
in the tasks of the Red Cross rooms.
This does not count the millions who
are knitting at nights and in concerts,
and other times while they rest. I
was just wondering how gtnanv mil-
It is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zene,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
$1.00 for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.

The argus eyed spirit of hospitality
in Topeka, even in war times, is not'
to be caught napping" No matter
what the handicap may be in the
way of a semi-suspended menage, it
is ready wrhen the occasion presents
itself, usually in the form of a voyager
from afar, and fares forth gallently,
if not contentedly, for a tea or a
dinner. This time it is an Ohio visi
tor, an attractive college and sorority
girl, Helen Cashatt, of Columbus, who
is inspiring a bit of gayetyJui "our
set." She . is visiting Altha' Watson,
and believe me, she couldn't have
picked out a better hostess if sh'ewas
coming for a really good time. Altha
always sort of chooses for her court
presentations, an attractive selection
of guests, and she gathers about her
the crowd that has the pep and the
fun, In her retinue are always a
group of week-end visitors from Fun
ston, and you know yourself that a
uniform lends no end of . class and
eclat even to the simplest of social
functions.
The really important thing this
week, as everybody knows, is the
Council of Defense meeting. Some of
the girls were asked to1 help register
the delegates, but only four or five of
them showed .up, to do the work. It
is such a bore o be dug out of one's
downy cot prior to ten o'clock in the
morning just to go down to Memerial
hall .and write, an endless number of
names. There were very few eligible
young men among those to be regis
tered; nearly all of them were com
fy, fat, sleek, sleep-o'-nights, old
married men and college professors
who looked precious little like a flir
tation. But among the girls who put
duty before comfort and went on up
and worked like harvest hands at the
job, I noticed Clyde Bonebrake, Edna
Hopkins, Helen Yoder, Altha Watson
and Ceora Lanham. They have the
gratitude of the head of the Woman's
Committee who asked them to serve,
and one has faith to think they'll get
some more reward in the blessed here
after. And more about this Woman's Com
mittee. I guess we all remember how
the men manage a public meeting
when they have some distinguished
foreign speakers. Let's see, how
about the Belgian Commissicm meet
ing, when four or five local speakers
took the biggest part of the afternoon
program, and left a scant hour for
the imported guests, and that hour
at the last of the session when nearly
everybody had to rush home pell mell
to eat dinner before the steak got
cold and the salad hot.
I was about to say that Kansas
women have the edge on them when
it comes to managing a public meet
ing. The presiding officer, Mrs. Mul
vane, at the woman's special session,
spoke about three minutes, and at

Questions Answered by Alicin Hoyt.
(Miss Hoyt will answer in this col
umn all questions on mat tern of et
iquette addressed to her in care of
this paper. If a personal answer is
desired enclose a three-cent stamp.)
Jack: Unless you have been pay
ing attentions to the young lady for
sjme time, and are very fond of her, I
advise you not to present her with a
Christmas gift. Since in any case you
are not engaged to her, your present
should not take the form of jewelry,
nor should it be very costly. It might
be a half dozen pretty handkerchiefs,
a book, a large box of candy, a vase,
a candlestick a framed mirror, a pict
ure, a knitting-bag, a shopping-bag.
a hat-pin, or a box of initialed or mon
ogramed stationary. She will prob
ably not give you a present unless she
is indebted to you for gifts in the past.
i The young man takes the initiative in
'this matter; and the Jady probaby
will not return your igift -until next
j year.
. Helen: Women of refinement, do
i fiot give finger nails such a high de
j gree of polish as they did a few years
ago; nor do they tint them.
