Will Women Return to
Their Homes After the
War? Yeas and Nays
Divergent views were expressed
recently in two public speeches on
the question. "Will women return to
their homes from the factories and
the fields after the wi.i ?"
F. G. Kellaway. parliamentary sec
retary to the munitions ministry, said
"Women have come to stay, iney
have come to increase the wealth of
the country The ministry of muni
tions has recognized their worth and
has acted accordingly in the arrange
ment of wages That arrangement
forms the charter for women in the
future. It has put women on an as
sured basis."
Lieutenant General Sir Edward
Mutton. gDeakins at Chertsey. said:
"Women understand their sphere of
work far too well to interfere with
men-folk, when the men return from
the front Men will find their jobs
all available and women will return
to their homes and womanly duties
in the social world quite naturally
but much better for having shown
what they can do in a time of great
national emergency."

CHAPTER VI
The King Vins His, Bride
(P'Rgy and th. King of the Wild Geese,
seeking to ave the Beautiful Stranger from
the Blue Geeie. are captured and threath-i
ened with death. .Hunter. ?re upon the
Stock, from below and the Beautiful Stranger
plunge, helplessly toward the ground.)
THE guns of the Indian hunters
banged away viciously at the flee
ing Geese. Peggy thought she could
hear shots whistle menacingly past
her. Yet the King of the Wild Geese
dived desperately to catch the Beauti
ful Stranger. She was fluttering weak
ly as she tumbled toward the earth
and teemed desperately wound 1.
Peggy wondered how they could pre
vent her falling intothe hands of the
Indians.
As the King's plunge carried him
down to the side of the Beautiful
Stranger, he seized her apparently
helpless wing in his beak and held it
out. It caught the air, checking her
fall. Aided by the King, she sailed
swiftly but safely toward a wooded
hill behind the Indian camp whence
the hunters were shooting. .
The Indians, seeing the geese fall
and thinking they were sure prey,
had turned their attention toward the
rapidly disappearing flock. They did
not notice the attempt at rescue until
the Beautiful Stranger and the King
were almost in the shelter of the trees.
Then they turnsd their guns, but it
was too late as fat as the Geese were
concerned. The two fluttered down
among the trees as the Indians fired,
but Peggy, following close behind,
felt the shot catch her airplane and
spin it around. ,
"Goodness, I'm lost," she thought.
She herself had. not been hit, but
the machine wmnea arou..u ...
around. She could not stop it, though
she tugged frantically at the rudder.
She was almost among the trees now,
anrl in another minute expected to
be dashed to the ground far beneatn.
But just as the topmost leaves graz
ed the whirling airplane some one
caught the rudder and the machine
grew steady. Then it glided safely

ing around to see who had come to
her rescue, she found that it was the
Beautiful Stranger. Peggy was as
tonished. She expected to find the
Beautiful Stranger half dead. So, evi
dently, did the King, who couldn't
understand how she was able to go
to Peggy's aid
"Oh, where are you hurt? Are you
going to die?" he cried.
.The Beautiful Stranger let out a
gurgling laugh. Peggy looked at her
in amazement. The King's eyes near
ly popped out of his head
-"Oh, my dear" one, you are deli
rious," he honked. f
Again the Beautiful Stranger
laughed.
"Why, you aren't hurt at all," cried
Peggy. "You just pretended to -be
shot in order to escape from the Blue
Geese."
"That's just it; no one but a woman
would have guessed," the Beautiful
stranger nodded gayly, but in her
brown eyes, as they twinkled at the
King, there was deep tenderness.
"And I thought you had been kill
ed," he groaned.
"I'm so' sorry I scared you so,"
she said. "But it was the only way.
I knew the Blue Geese would not
stop to help any one who had been
wounded, not even me, and so when
I heard the guns I just dropped."
"But how did you know the King
would follow you and not run away
also?"
"Because I know the King," whis
pered the Beautiful Stranger.
Just at that moment Peggy very
thoughtfully turned to fix her dam
aged airplane, for the King seemet.
to have something very important to
whisper into the Beautiful Stranger's
ear. Peggy's steering wire had been
shot in two, but she repaired it easily
wih a hair ribbon.
But now they were in a new dan
ger. They could hear Indians coming
thrashing through the woods, look
ing for the Geese they thought they
had wounded.
"We don't dare to try to fly away,"
said the King. "The Indians are dead
shots at anything within their
range."

"Here's a hollow tree," said the
Beautiful Stranger, running to it.
"Wait," cried Peggy. "There's a
spider web across the opening."
"I'm not afraid of spiders. I'il eat
any that appear," declared the King.
"But the Indians will notice that
the web has been disturbed. Let's try
camounage, answered reggy, using
the big word with a little difficulty.
"What's that?" askeu the King.
"Fooling 'em," explained Peggy,
unfastening one side of the web and
swinging it back like a door. "Hop
in.
They hopped in and she after them.
Then she swung the web carefully
into place again and crouched down
out of sight.
The Indians rushed up and looked
all about.
"They must be here," said one
a deep, gutteral voice.
' Look in that hole," answered an
other.
One came right up to the tree and
Peggy held her breath.

Indian said, and turned away. Soon
all of them were gone.
It was getting dark when the
Geese and Peggy crept from the tree.
"Why, it looks like night," cried
Peggy.
"Yes, the sun is going to take his
little nap," replied the King. "We can
start back to the feeding grounds of
my flock."
"But if it's night I must go to bed,"
cried Peggy. "Mother wouldn't like
me to stay out. I wish I were back."
Whist-t-1 A dizzy feeling 1 A little
bump! and there was Pegjy in her
porch swing. The sun was down
and it was dark.
"My goodness! we rescued the
Beautiful Stranger just in time," she
exclaimed, as she jumped from the
swing and ran into the house to go
to bed.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Dear Miss Fairfax1 1 am a working
woman in the early thirties. I have
traveled considerably and have had
my full share of experiences and have
gained a fairly broad knowledge of
the world. During the' past half-dozen
years I have become interested in
an exceedingly attractive young artan,
who is now nearly 25.
My feeling for him could easily be
come a devoted love if I were given
encouragement, but he is a most un
usually cold-hearted youn person.
He likes everybody, enjoys fun and a
good time and I am sure will never
marry anyone unless the woman does
the courting.
It is useless for you to say that his
youth explains his indifference, be
cause my observation of young men
shows that they aro generally too
ardent and too reckless. I cannot
bring myself to make all the advances,
so that there is a constant battle go
ing on within-me as to whether I
should refuse the occasional opportu
nities I have to meet him and so drop
his companionship altogether and for
ever, thus gradually banishing the
heartaches that come in between, or

else whether 1 should overcome my
old-fashioned prejudices and go in to
trv to win him (as I know some
woman will be bold enough to do
eventually).
He is not now interested in any
woman, and I am sure if he were
fond of me we should be able to get a
great deal of happiness out of life. It
is hard for me to give him up (what
little there is to give up), for I am
lonely. But I cannot be satisfied
with half measures, and I am wonder
ing if I should not try to make my
self contented with some less con
genial man who is more anxious for
my love.
I realize this is a problem which all
the philosophers of the ages have not
solved, and it is a subject worthy of
the contemplation ot a lialzac, but an
other opinion than one's own is al
ways interesting, so I should appre
ciate yours given in the columns of
the Omaha Bee. J. J. T.
My correspondent has written me
an interesting letter, dealing with
an entirely modern situation.
The remarkable feature of her case
is that she is facing it so honestly
and squarely. That she does not com
plicate the facts with emotion or self
deception. And though the situation is typical
of the modern business world and
the relationship of older women to
younger men, the clear thinking she
has brough('to bear on her case is
unusual.
A great many women would have
seen this affair in the terms of grand
opera. The boy would probaby have
been held responsible for something,
and they might readily have conclud
ed the account with a wail of self-oitv
Such honesty is certainly deserving
of happiness. It s a good keystone
upon which to build the foundations
of a home.
There would appear to be two ques
tions to this case. Is a woman free
to choose the man she wants for her
husband? And granting that she has
this right, is it tair for her to influ
ence a man so mucn younger man
herself.?
Traditionally, the man has always
had the privilege of selection. But
has he. really? According to some of
the clearest of modern' thinkers,
among them Darwin and Bernard
Shaw, it would seem that he has had
very little to do with the matter.
He has invariably been selected
when the lady really wanted him.
There have been, of course, many
exceptions to the rule, but as the
arithmetic, grammar and other instru
ments of childish torture have a way
of asserting, it is the exception that
proves the rule.
If there is any survivor of the earjy
Victorian davs now living, such a
oerson would probably say that the
hiehlv intelligent woman who has
written to me should regard the
young man "with' downcast eyes and
averted shoulder."
The Red Cross Spirit
, Has Been Awakened
In the Philippines
This extract has been taken fret
a letter in the June Red Cross Maga
zine written by a traveler interested
in Red Cross Work, The Red Cross
organization has penetrated into the
Philippines and has been most en
thusiastically received by the na
tives. "As a ship approaches the city 01
Manila one seej almost first of all,
near the Lunetta, the new Red Cross
tower, striking in daylight and very
beautiful a night with its outline ol
electric lights. It dominates the Car
nival grounds, which on February 2
welcomed from 30,000 to 40,000 vis
itors a day and spread the name of
the American Red Cross far and wide
over these islands.
"Let us take our places on tht
grandstand and view the Red Cross
procession, which begins at 4 in
the afternoon and ends long after
dark. Everybody in holiday mood
The governor-general and all the
officials are present; the army and
navy in full white uniform are in
the front row, for Manila even in
February is very warm, and white
costumes are almost universal. Near
us sits a Chinaman in a gorgeous robe,
his family attending; we are intro
duced to the Sultan of Sulu, a visitor
from his island 600 miles south; near
him is a company of Moros, and other
tribesmen dressed in native costumes
of many colors, to make up, perhaps,
for the lack of dress one notes when
visiting them at home."
No English Is Heard
In New French Houat
French is so popular a study at the
University of. Wisconsin during tht
present summer session that the neu
French house, which was recentlv
opened to provide informal practice
in French conversation, is filled tc
its capacity and has overflowed. Twenty-four
women students are livmg ir.
the house and eight are rooming ir .
a nearby house under the same di
rection. About 42 men and women
students board in the French house.
All conversation in the house is car
ried on in French and teachers live
at the house to assist the students
in speaking French correctly. In
structors are present at the table to
assist the conversation during meals
Fluency in speaking the language is
thus acquired to supplement the in
struction received in the university
French classes. s
The German house, which wa&
founded several years ago to aid stu

Nebraska Has Bread
Crumbs 21 Years Fresh
Here is a story from Nebraska
which will surprise a good many bak
ers who are very familiar with bread
and its keeping quality: W. R. Fur
man of York has in his bakery stors
a jar of bread crumbs which he con
siders a curiosity, for the crumbs art
21 years old, and are still as good as
ever. On the 24th of March, 1897. a
wedding feast was given and Mir.
Furman made several loaves of bread
for the occasion. When the feast was
over the mother of the bride found
several extra loaves on hand. She
proceeded to crumble the bread up
and pack it in glass jars, preserving
it for future use in puddings, etc. She
thought she had used it all up nian
years ago, but a few days ago sl-t
found a jar of crumbs stuck far ba-1
in a dark corner. She mentioned f'e
fact to Mr. Furman and he prevailed 1
upon her to bring the jar to his store.
feminine fascination, according tc .
novelists of the period.
But after reading some of the me
moirs of that date, one is inclined tc.
think that despite the formula of "ni
downcast eyes." etc.. our great-grandmothers
might not have been entire'? -guiltless
of helping our great-grandfathers
to "come to the point."
May Show Her Preference.
Without loss qf dignity or self
resnect. a woman may show het
preference for the man of her choice
m dozens of little ways.
In fact, she has been doing this
for countless ages, though there hv.s
always been a sort of decorous con
spiracy on the part of the poweri
that be to make the man believe he
is managing the entire affair. -
At the present time we are frank
er than we were in those early Vic- .
torian times. We adnv't more thm
we did. There may be fewer "down
cast eyes," but there are also a cor
responding number of frank, truth
ful ones.
I am sufficiently old-fashioned to
object to a woman's taking such
matters into her hands with a chal
lenging "watch me" attitude. Noth
ing could be more offensive or in
worse taste, but there are ways and
means like Priscilla's: "Why f don't
you speak for yourself. John?" that
are nothing more than innocent
coquetry. (
Is He Too Young.
In regard to our second consider
ation, is a woman justified in choos
ing a man so much younger than
herself? One can only consider the
question from observation and
past history.
That marriages of this type are
generally happy, we've only to look
about us to see. Whilei of course,
there are the well-known historical
cases of Disraeli and his wife,
George Eliot and Cross, and the case
of the late Bishop Pinkney of Mary
land, whose wife is said to have em
broidered his christening robe.
The reason for the success of such
marriages seems to be that they
blend companionship on equal terms
with the protective quality of the
maternal inrlincL
In the present case my corre
spondent would not be taking the
fertunate young man away from
some one else. Nor marrying him
for his money, since they are both
bread-winners, working shoulder to
shoulder.
I think if she decides to "over
come her old-fashioned prejudices,"
there is every chance of their being?
