j >V RUTH OSBORNE 6. WAN- )
You hear so much about the
evils of this hurried, frantic, hec
tic age we’re living in that it
seems to me some of its attend
ant blessings are quite overlooked.
If we do rush about defying the
laws of science by crowding
twenty-five hours’ activity into
jfc twenty-four, if we do live at high
speed, it has at least given us a
wholesome respect for the value
of time. If we live twenty-five
hours out of every twenty-four it
stands to reason that we are not
going to throw away one minute
of one of them. The things that
: actually fill those twenty-five
hours may be silly, vicious or in
discreet—that is, from someone
elses point of view—but to each
particular person, they are well
worth doing—and other things
are not permitted to interfere.
The sublime indifference with
which hours of precious time used
to be thrown away, has changed
to a real regard for the value of
time. Granted that you may not
think the minutes worth saving,
when you know what is to be done
with them—the only thing I am
contending is that to each of us,
what we are interested in is too
important to be slighted. There
are all too few hours, as it is, to
crowd in the myriad of fasci
nating thinggs that one may do.
To be exact—do you remember
the hours that people used to
stand on the side-walks waiting
for a parade? If it was scheduled
for ten o’clock, everybody took it
for granted that twelve would be
| the best that could be expected of
! it. Life is too full now to fritter
away two precious hours—and as
a result, perhaps you noticed that
& the Elks parade started to march
on the very minute- Even the
youngsters rebel at waiting for
the circus parade—and the ele
phants are trundled into line ac
VV1 ■
It’s the same way with appoint
ments. There never was the ab
solute promptness in business and
social engagements that there is
today. Even the women are fall
ing under the spell. Ten o’clock
means ten o’clock and not eleven.
If a woman can vote she can tell
time—and men are beginning to
expect the punctuality from a
woman that they do from a man.
A man’s passion for golf may
be sneered at by his wife—but can
. you think of anything else that
would get him odt of bed at
seven o’clock on a Sunday morn
ing? A woman’s attempt to keep
young may be foolish—from some
people’s point of view—but have
you ever known one to miss an
?: appointment for a facial treat
A; ment?
You don’t find the flappers
keeping theirV’cake-eaters” wait
ing an hour or two as the belles of
?, five years ago used to clo. These
days they simply couldn’t be an
noyed waiting—and then, too, if
the girl isn’t quite ready she can
trip along anyway. A small
. matter like make-up can be at
; tended to in the car—or on the
street fi necessary—and the comb
fe ing of bobbed hair is such a con
1 tinuous performance that it’s
hardly worth bothering about
before she leaves home.
So here’s to the woman of to
day, who finds a clock useful and
■ preserve us from the woman of
the past who thought that it was
something to be wound when
hubby put the cat out at night,
and for the baby to take apart in
the daytime—but which meant
absolutely nothing in her life

Adventures of A Fashionable Pen
—By Jane Miller
It seems as if everybody in
Ventnor was entertaining guests
—in the past, present and future
tense. Though it isn’t always
wise to discuss the future first,
there must be an exception to the
rule when the Children’s Sea
shore Home is to be the cause of
the entertainment. Residents of
Atlantic City, Chelsea, Ventnor
and Longport, and their guests
will 1 e sure to turn out in full
force for the tea which is to be
given on Wednesday at this
wonderful organization. Mrs.
Frederick Poth, Mrs. Jacob
.Weikel and Mrs. Edward Holt will
receive, assisted by a group of
the younger girls of Chelsea and
Ventnor.

tea for Mrs. Charles D. White at
the Atlantic City Yacht Club this
