WOMAN’S INTERESTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR HOMEMAKERS

CLEVELAND — Practical econ
omy for momen—this says Mrs. M.
A. Toy, national president, is to be
the prime objective of the fourth
Annual national convention of the
Service St£.r Legion which opens
in Cleveland, Sept. 8.
"We are not essentially club wo
men,” says Mrs. Toy, "we are moth
ers, the women who had service
■tars in our windows during the
years of the war, thus our purpose
In organization is not that of the
regular club."
The Service Star Legion includes
:he War Mothers of America,
American Mothers of National De
lenders, Daughters of the Nation.
Daughters of Liberty, Mothers of
Democracy. Women of American
Patriots, Mothers' Club, White Star

z&iions affiliated under the name
Service Star Legion at the 1919 con
vention held in Baltimore, Md.
One of the features of the Cleve
land event will he the Hour of Re
membrance which will take place at
Wade Park under the direction of
the Gold Star chairman, Mrs. Mar
garet M. Norris, of Cleveland. This
is scheduled for 2 o’clock Tuesday
afternoon and will be an impressive
ceremonial in honor of gold star
families.
Practically all delegates to the
convention are coming uninstructed,
it is understood. No one, thus far,
is being mentioned as a possible
candidate for president of the or
gani/,aUon. There is an undercur
rent of opinion that an attempt will
be made to re-elect Mrs. Toy; how
ever, having been elected from state
persidency to national office and
having been very actively connected
with the legion since its inception,
she is understood to have expressed
a desire to be relieved from office
this year.
J/HEN A WOMAN TELLS
BY BUTH AGNES ABELING
Philip Ames' Pace Startles Me
Chapter 46
I listened for the scream from
Mrs. Amea’ room to be repeated but
there was only dead silence.
"What can it be?” Grace whisper
ed.
I couldn't find the voice to an
swer.
A few minutes later 1 heard Philip
Ames’ voice in Lila’s room. There
Was a derisive note In it. It fright
ened me. I felt sure something was
wrong, yet I had no right to go into
the room unbidden.
"You had better go!” Grace urged.
“Why?” I
“Because I think something is
wrong—and it may help If you are
there.”
Grace was pushing me toward the
door. I hesitated.
“It doesn’t make any difference
whether you have a right or not—
you must!”
Grace left me no choice. I knocked
lightly on the door.
No answer.
i I knocked again and then opened
[the door.
f v “Come In.” said Mrs. Ames, softly,
| ii timidly I started to withdraw and
close the door.
"Yes. come in. Miss—Sorensen.’*
Philip Ames’ voice was strange:
there .was a peculiar, settled quality
In It.
I had the feeling as he spoke that
his voice was that of a man who had
envisioned his fate and accepted it
.without protest.
was sitting on the foot of
PHE's chaise lounge with his back
wTard me.
“Any mail?” queried Mrs. Ames.
'•Anything in particular you wanted
•—nothing happened?”
“Nothing!” I said.
Mrs. Ames smiled apologetically.
Then:
"Philip isn’t very well this morn
ing. I’m afraid my party will not
go down as one of the ’most elab
orate and enjoyable events of the
season.’ ”
Even though trying to be light,
there was something regretful in
Lila Ames’ tone.
"I’m sorry ho isn’t well,” I said.
"I’ll run through this mail and/take
care of anything in need of imme
diate attention."
I spent thirty minutes at the desk,
during which Lila Ames and her
brother-in-law spoke only occasion
ally, and then just a disconnected
word or two.
I wanted more and more to be out
of the room. I turned to go and
my eyes met for the first time the
face of Philip Ames.
I stifled a scream as I saw it.

Editorials For
Women Folks
John’s club had been giving a
little party for the wives that even
ing. “Sure!” John had said, of
course he was going, when the
bunch of them spoke of it while they
lunched together at noon.
“Get into your glad rags, Girl!”
he called joyously to his wife as he
rushed into tho sitting room, going
on with the story of tho spread the
boys had planned for the evening.
“But the children—1” objected Girl.
Stella was sixteen, but she didn’t like
to leave her with the other children,
and then their clothes needed friend
ing, and if she left so early in the
evening they might not all get their
ears perfectly clean before they
wont to bed.
John slumped down moodily in a
corner of the divan and buried him
self in his paper. Finally without a
word he stalked out of the house.
The only answer to tho Girl’s half
frightened questions regarding his
destination, was a banging of the
door.
And after the ears were all wash
ed and the braids all braided and the
clothes all neatly hung away, the
Girl went into the darkened front
room and cried it out.
John didn’t understand, she
thought. It amazed her a little when
she went back over the days and
found that for four months straight
she had refused every one of John’s
invitations for a good time.
But if she didn’t mend John, Jr.*s
stockings who would? And if she
wasn’t there with them every even
ing to see that all of tho tangles
were combed out and the faces
scrubbed, who would see about it?
There was just so much worrying
and mending and fussing to be done
for each child each day. And no
matter what other duties she en
trusted to paid help, she devoted her
whole life to her children.
Which wouldn’t have been so bad
if, in doing it, she hadn’t forgotten
that the man she married was in a
sense one of them and needed to be
included in her mothering.
The successful wife who is also a
mother, has to make a fine and diffi
cult division of her interestst
HOROSCOPE
The st&ru loclln but do oot compel."
Tuesday, September 13/ 1920
(Copyright, 1921, by The McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
This is an uncertain day, accord
ing to astrology. While Mercury is
in beneiic aspect Mars is strongly
adverse.
It would seem that messages of
friendliness and co-operation will bo
numerous from many governments,
but while they arc borne to this
country, the planet that is supposed
to foment war is in threatening
mood,
Uranus seems to promise that the
public mind will be open to sensi
able suggestions and to wise guid
ance.
Anxiety and discontent may be in
spired by the planetary government
today and for this reason a positive
attitude of optimism should be
maintained.
Newspapers and periodicals are to
profit greatly from some world event
that awakens extraordinary public
interest.
The plane ,s give promise of in
creased interest in health protection
and many hygienic reforms will be
advocated.
Warning is given that the stars
that appear to stimulate interest in
the public health also may foment
political dissensions.
This is not a fortunate rule for
domestic harmony and the marriago
tie will seem more and more fragile
as the year advances.
Again violent seismic troubles are
threatened and there may he a se
rious island disaster.
Factories aro to be very busy next
month and later. A product not us
ually in demand is to bo needed im
peratively, the seers prophesy.
Socialistic propaganda is to spread
rapidly in Italy and Franco during
the next three months.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have worries in business during the
year, but they can overcome diffi
culties and prosper .
Children born on this day may be
original in ideas and strongly in
dividual. These subjects of Virgo
are usually too artistic to succeed in
business.

Chinese Costumes
Add Color To Teas
BY MARIAN HARE
NEW YORK—The insidious influ
ence of the poppy is upon us—hut
not with tragic significance.
On the other hand, the invasion
from the Far East is welcomed by
our “best people.”
Smart New York women have
taken up the Chinese costume and
made a fad of it almost overnight.
To be sure, many of us have long
worn Chinese things in negligee, but
this fad is something more than
that.
Chinese costumes are now worn at
teas and other informal, indoor day
affairs. The more daring women
affect trousers and all. The more
conservative digress from tho strict
ly Chinese in favor of a skirt to
match the gorgeous mandarin coat.
The loosely fitting coat and trou
sers, or skirt, are comfortable in the
extreme, they add a pleasing color
to teas and they are something dif
ferent—which is most important.
A smart Chinese negligee is of
jade brocade, embroidered in bands,
with an upstanding collar. Tho coat
is very long and the trousers of the
same color are bound round tho
ankle.
The all-over embroidered coat,
with its gorgeous birds and flowers,
Is perhaps the most popular. It is
worn with an embroidered skirt as
well as with the trousers.
To Honor U. S. “Unknown ”
Lady Limerick has been suggested as the hearer of England’s
wreath which British women will send to this country for the dedication
of the Tomb of the Unknown American 'Warrior. She lost her son In
the war and endeared herself to Am erlcan soldiers through her canteen
and other war work. ____

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus j
a=- ■ — —i- ■ ■ ■ ■ *
Oysters are good during months,
the names of which contain an “r."
They are wholesome during the
summer months If fresh, but are not
solid and ate of rather poor flavor.
Oysters are easily digested. Eaten
raw or in a plain stew they are ex
cellent food for children and lnva^
lids.
When oysters are served raw they
are usually left In half the shell or
served In cocktail glasses. However
grapefruit shells or green peppers
may be used, very attractively. The
oysters should be thoroughly chilled
for serving.
Oysters on tile Half Shell
Allow six oysters for each person
Have the flsh market man open
them. Arrange on a bed of crushed
ice and serve with a quarter of a
lemon on each plate. This is used
as the first course at a formal
luncheon or dinner.
Seven small raw oysters, 1
dessertspoon tomato catsup, 1 tea
spoon lemfn Juice, *4 teaspoon
grated horseradish, few grains salt,
1 teaspoon minced celery, paprika.
This rule is for individual cock
tails. Wash, drain and chill oysters.
Mix ingredients and chill thoroughly
Serve in cocktail glasses or green
pepper cups on a bed of ice. While
peppers are in season they are a
happy chfljce. Tfce sauce in this
recipe makes an oyster oocktall less
easily digested than oysters on the
half-shell.
Plain Stew
One pint oysters, 2 cups hot milk,
2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon
salt, few grains pepper.
Put oysters in a colander and pour
over one cup water. Save this
liquor. Pick over oysters. Heat
liquor to the foiling point and strain
through a cloth. Add oysters and
cook until plump. Remove oysters
and strain liquor again. Add butter
oysters, liquor, salt and pepper tc
hot milk and heat thoroughly but
do not let boil. Serve at once.

ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Fall Cleaning
After Sprinkle Blow had gone,
Nancy hunted up the brass polish
and stove polish and silver polish and
floor polish and window polish and
set to work a’shinlng up the fairy
man's house. Nick beat rugs and
moved furniture and did chores of
all sorts, and soon the place shone
like Aladdin's lamp. Wouldn't
Sprinkle Blow be surprised, though
when he returned from his vaca
tion to find everything so spio and
span, without any trouble to himself
at all!
Everything was done at last and
Nancy, arms akimbo, surveyed thetr
work with pride. "Now, what'll we
do, Nick?” she asked, smoothing
down her apron. "What else can we
clean?”
Just then her eye fell on the key
to tho house of tho Nuisance Fairies,
hanging on the nail In the wall
where Sprinkle B.ow hsd left It, and
an idea popped into her head. She
had forgotten what the fairyman
had said about not touching it. "Oh,
Nickie, let’s clean house for tho
Nuisance Fairies, too, poor things."
she cried. "I don't suppose that
anybody does anything at all for
them and I’m sure they’d like to be
scrubbed up."
Nick thought it a good Idea. "But,”
l said he, "how can wo get In without
, opening tho door, and if wo open
. the door thoy’ll all get out at once,
• and if they all get out at once, the
earth will have forty kinds of weath
. er. Then what would Mr. Springie
i Blow say?”
Nancy was thoughtful. "I’ll tell
you,” she answered slowly. "We'll
ask oil' Magic Shoe* to mako us
little enough to crawl through tho
key-hole. That’s easy enough."
"But then we can't take the pol
ishes along,” declared Nick. “No,
that won't do.”
"Then," said Nanry firmly, ‘‘we'll
just have to uso the key and be quick
about it."
