IF YOU COULD HAVE JUST ONE
WISH, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Br JULIA CHANDLER MAJSZ.
If you could pray you a prayer ana
have it granted for -what would you ask?
If you might voice Just one -wish and
have some good fairy wave her mystic
wand across this day and hour of your
llfeErantlng that one wish, for what
would you ask her?
Readers of The Washington Herald's
Page for Every Woman are invited to
answer this question In not more than
200 words, and are assured in doing so
that their names will not be divulged
where this request Is made.
Down deep In the heart of every man
and woman I believe there is some one
hope or prayer which dominates their
action and controls their emotions; some
one pulsating longing that overshadows
everything else In life.
The other day I went into a home
where, six months ago. death touched
the mother of three young children with
his finger, leaving their father alone with
them. , ,
There has been no lack of financial
resources, and he has provided his chil
dren with everything except the one that
they most need.
The One Thlnp.
"If in all Hfe I could have but one
thing;" he said to me. "if I could have
just one prayer granted and know that
in gaining that one thing I would lose
all others. I would ask for the mother
of my children Not Just a mother, but
the mother."
I glanced about the beautiful room in
which I was seated and thought how
richly prosperity had blessed htm. and
how fortunate were his little children
that poverty would not stand between
them and an education. As if he read
mv thought the man waved his hand in
a gesture that took in his surroundings.
if i nil ns nothing to them in com
parison to their mother. I feel utterly
helpless, particularly when I stand and
watch them asleep In some still nlgbt
hour, utterly helpless to supply the one
.hino that would fill their little hearts
with happiness their mother"
"Would Make Human Document.
It was after this, that my brain began
to gather in the multitude of wishes that
I heard oxpressed by folks here and
there and eerywherc, and it seemed to
me that it would make an intensely in
teresting human document to learn the
v ish or prayer closest the heart of man
kind, finding if the trend of human -
sire is the same or if it differs widely.
And so I am asking sou to tell me the
one prayer you would make if you had
but one
Would it be for wealth, for love, for
beauty, for culture, for travel, or for
home?
I met a sad little -woman some months
ago who told me that the wish that lay
closest to her heart was to go back to
the home of her childhood, down In Ala
bama, for the passing of her later years.
She said that all through her life home
sickness had assailed her heart. eaUng
its way into her vitals until she had
found it impossible tc be happy any'
where. There was a particular little stream
that ran ran through the Southern val
ley that sang its way into her memory in
her dav-tlme hours and controlled her
dreams at nlght-a little brook whose
oIce she had never been able to still.
Tt hart a hold on her life that she pould
not -shake off. and so it was that If she
rnnld nrav her one prayer and have it
granted it w ould be to answer the call of
the brook that sings Its way mrougn me

Silly sentiment?
MftAbe. but sentiment, is the golden
thread of life that keeps it from being
all of sodden lead.
Somewhere, some time, it lives in every
human heart and makes us all awn, ana
Is not a thing of which to beashamed.
So if that dearest wish of yours Is pure
ly a matter of sentiment let not the fact
deter your sending it to me, for you have
my assurance that no signature will be
attached to an article where the author's
name Is requested withheld".

WHAT WESTERN
ACHIEVED
TourlBts who see the $500,000 Audi
torium In Denver, In which the Demo
cratic national convention was held tbre
years ago, do not as a rule know that
it was through a. woman that It came to
be built by the city. Helen Belford was
a member of the convention that framed
a charter for Denver, and of her own
motion she Introduced the clause whlolj
provided for the bonding of the city to
build the Auditorium.
One has to look under the surfaoe to
flnfl how many things In Denver are In
the hands of women. For several years
Mrs. H. A. True was president of the
school board, elected to that office by the
board Itself. It is said that while she was
president the board never took any action
disapproved by her, so that the school
system of Denver was practically con
trolled by one woman for. several years.
First Political XTisht.
The first political fight the Denver wom
en ever had was over the school situation.
The. superintendent of the city schools
had held the office since the early days
of the city, and was drawing a salary
higher than that of a member of Con
gress or of the school superintendent of
Chicago, a city several times as large as
"Dcnven, He was strongly Intrenched in
his office. Ho could suit everybody, save
some of the mothers of his pupils. Dis
satisfaction .grew among them until they
finally nominated a woman wio was op
posed to him for the school board, and
innocently went forth to vote on acheel
election day.-
School election is feetd by itself'in Cote;

PDZZLE CIRCLE -IS
HAYIMbOD TIME
Searching for Places in and
Around Washington'.
The Puzzle Circle la enjoying Itself
mightily.
No one seems to give a rap, even If
they cannot get their list Into any sort
of Bbape, just so long as they are having
the fun of making trips all about town
and Its vicinity In trolley cars and auto
mobiles, .according to the fatness of re
spective pocketbooks.
There seems, however, to be some dis
inclination to submit the solution of the
puzzle this week where one Is not sure
ot Its correctness, which is a downright
silly hesitation.
Not a soul has so far sent me an en
tirely correct solution of the puzzle, nor
gotten very warm In the chase.
Certainly, there Is Just no need what
ever for discouragement, either on th
part of the grown-ups or the children, so
send your list of answers regardless of
their correctness.
Imperfect List Wo Dlacrcdlt.
It is no discredit to a puzzler to be
unable to find every place on the list, aa
some seem to think. In fact, it Is always
the cause of wonderment to me when
there are folks clever enough tO'get
every single one correct.
The hard places seem to have shlf'
since yesterday, for later puzzlers are
baling a difficult time in deciding Nos.
3. 17. and 24.
In talking or No. 17, one contestant
told me ocr the 'phone that It was Im
possible for her to decide what the Na
tionals had lost, as they had been sepa
rated from about everything they had
except their suits, while another faithful
member of the Circle wanted to know
what on earth was meant by No. 21.
In spite of the difficulties that seem to
He across the road to the places In and
around Washington, which everybody has
eet out this week to find, puzzlers ar
loud In their praise of the enigma, ant
seem grateful for the chance to refresh
their memories with different localities
which they otherwise have little chance
or Incentive to visit. J. C. 1L
ATTRACTIVE KIMONOS ARE
The genuinely hot summer weather
makes thin comfortable clothes of all
kinds a real necessity.
Kimonos, dressing Jackets, negligees of
every description, comfortable and at
tractive morning dresses, pretty petti
coats to wear with matinees and night
dresses are all articles of wearing ap
parel which women who like dainty and
pretty clothes are sure to be Interested
In providing themselves.
Clothes, to be attractive, need not bo
elaborate or of expensive materials. The
stores seem to vie one with another In
showing thin materials, summer silks,
laces, and embroideries of a large va
riety and of astoni'shingly low prices.
With the aid of the satisfactory pat
terns one Is able to buy, one can turn
out a generous number of garments, and
have 'the satisfaction ."of having made
things for less than It would have cost
to buy one first-class ready-made garment.
Take a kimono, for instance. FloweredJ
Japanese silk or crepe can be, found In
beautiful designs and colorings, and
seven or eight yards of either ofthese
materials will be all that are required.

WOMEN HAVE
FOR THEMSELVES
up and vote at a school election. The
astonished women saw that day wagon
loads of men driven in" turn to every
sohoolhouse In town, voting at each, all
to defeat a woman for the school board.
It was their first experience of repeaters'
and practical- politics.
Their candidate was snowed under, of
course, but they kept coming back, year
after year, with ever-increasing numbers,
until finally they won out The women
have had a deciding 'voice ever since as
to who should be superintendent of
schools In Denver.
Library Situation In Women Hands
The JlDrary puuauon is as mucn in mo
hands of the women as the schools. Mrs,
A. M. Welles has been chairman of the
state traveling ltbrar commission ever
since the law establishing It was secured
by the women. Trie State superintendent
of schools, who is always a woman, has
charge of the State1 library, and Miss
Anna Evans Is chalrmanpf the board of
directors of the .Denver city library.
Mrs., Welles, as a member of the charter
convention, got the library, regulation
