Well, it is hats. I just love pretty hats, don't you," asked Helen Cunningham, Tuesday afternoon, in her dressing room at . the Orpheum. Miss Cunningham is playing the iketch "April Show ers.' with her husband, Alexander Carr, of Potash and Perlmutter fame. "My real hobby, or perhaps I should call it my ambition, is to sing light opera. But I do buy numerous hats,"-she added. "Do you know, I was interviewed in the south a short time ago and much to my dismay a story ap peared which said I detested anyone who eats onions. Why, onions are a favorite green vegetable of mine and I even like garlic. That same man wrote that 'Miss Cunningham does not approve of kissing on the stage and never will kiss anyone in a play.' That wasn't true because I kiss just the same on the stage as I would away from it," declared this pretty young woman as a smile lighted up her retrousse features. Her blue eyes twinkled as she continued, "When playing in New York at one time, I took the part of a woman noted for her beautiful costumes. I never laughed so much as Idid one evening when some in terviewer said that I always carried a statue of Venus with me so that I , might be inspired to be more beauti- ful. You know, I wouldn't be bothered carrying anything of that sort with me. It is difficult even to keep Lily with me," pointing to a small fluffy dog. . Miss Cunningham, to use a trite phrase, possesses a "wealth of gold n hair" and the light glinted , through it as she defly arranged it underneath a huge purple and white hat (one of the hobbies). When ready for the street she called out laughingly, "Please say something nice about me, even if you must fib to do it because I don't mind the fibs a bit." But fibs aren't neces sarythe beauty and charm of Miss Cunningham need no such gloss. Take and cut off stocking feet of worn-out stockings. Use cut-oft fict for pattern.

The January number of the Inter national Woman Suffrage News declares over the signature of the National Women's Trade Union league, that the government pays women less than men for equal work. The statement says: "That the United States govern ment pays men more than women for the same or tomparable work is shown by an official report, made puolic by the woman s bureau of the United States Department of Labor, of which Miss Mary Ander son is director. The report is based on studies of the Civil Service com mission's records made by the wom an's bureau, with the co-operation of the commission. The data has been transmitted to the joint con gressional commission on reclassi fication of civil service, for its use in revising the government salary scale. "The records compiled, the report states, show that for the first two months ol 1919 (which is the period studied) 86 per cent of" the 4,689 women appointed entered the serv ie at salaries of $900 to $1,299, while only 36 per cent of the 3,270 men appointed entered at those rates, the men's pay running much higher. 'The prevailing rate for women typists was $1,000 to $1,099, for men typists $1,100 to $1,199. "Men who passed the examination as law clerks were appointed in the war risk bureau at the salaries rang intr from $1,200 to $3,500, but wom en taking the same positions were paid $1,100 to $3,000. "Wonnn statisticians, work re quiring college training and some practical experience, were appointed at salaries as low as $1,200, while men received $1,800, $3,000, and ?4,000. Only one of the 15 women appointed to managerial, supervis ory, office organizing, or secretarial positions, received as much as most of the men received, namely, $2,000 and over. The other women re ceived $1,200, $1,400 and $1,600." Entertains Actresses.

Cheap Fniuallurlty. Dear Miss Fairfax.; I am in love with a man ten years my senior, who Is a Rentleman in every respect and well liked by all his friends. He has made a very favorable impression at home, and my people approve of him. I am employed in the same concern and notice he is very famil iar with all tho girls, giving several jf them pet names, which he espe cially uses in my presence. I have no right whatever to tell htm that I disapprove of this, as we have not in b.ny way come to an understand ing. I would like to know just how to act. PUZZLED. If you who know the man and see and judge him cannot tell Just what his motive is, how am I, who must be guided by the few words you wrote me, to tell what meaning you are to attach to the man's conduct in the ofl'ice. On general principles I dis approve of familiarities and a lack of dignity in the way a man treats the women in his office. I don't think a man of fine caliber indulges in cheap familiarities. I don't think the man is conscious of your reac tions at all. . Most men are Simple and not given to posing 'Mr any woman's benefit they are mar; like ly to express themselves honestly and'. 4o what they like, which the woman in the case may like or not. When you have the right to express to this man your dislike for cheap familiarity, do so. Love and. Selltshness. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am in love with a young man not as educated as I am nor very inter esting. I miss him a great deal when he is not-with me, and he occupies my mind constantly. I also think of him frequently when I am out with other friends more educated, cul tured and interesting. With that in mind I fear I will not be happy if I marry him and am practically at a. loss to decide what steps to take. Do you think I love him, or do you think it is mere infatuation, and please tell me what I shall do. MABEL. Do you know, my dear, you're a prig and poseur. Your letter is a stilted piece of writing. Perhaps nothing could be better for you than the simplicity you criticise in the young man you'd like if you were not so selfish. My HEART and My HUSBAND By ADELE GARRISON Gay Group: We cannot run your letter unless you will let us use your name. Then your correspondents can write directly to you. Trouble: The Salvation Army Home in Omaha is the place you have in mind. I think you should talk to your mother. If you need further advice write me, or if you come to Omaha, come in and see me.

The color flowed back into Lil lian's face at my utterance of the artist's name, and her eyes lost the terror which had come into them when she thought Harry Under wood was the guest whose visit I had announced to her. "Robert I" she said slowly. "Robert Savarin!" and the name was like a caress on her lips. Then as he quickly regained the poise which so rarely deserts her, she seemed to draw an impalpable mask over the jov in her eyes and face. "Isn't this a sudden whim of his?" she asked with apparent careless ness. "I thought he was rooted in his beloved mountains." "Well, he's going to be trans planted for a while 1" I retorted with the feeling of irritation at Lillian which always comes to me when she speaks of Robert Savarin with care fully simulated indifference, I know so well the faithful, tender worship which the gifted recluse of fers her know also the passionate ly protective love for the lonely artist which Lillian daily crushes be neath the Juggernaut wheels of her Quixotic duty to Harry Underwood, that I find it hard sometimes to re strain my spoken disapproval of her course. What Lillian Declared. "The man must live.; you know," I went on, "even if he does immure himself in the Catskills, and it seems he has painted a number of new things. He wrote to Di:ky saying he doubted his own judg ment upon them, and asked Dicky to form his honest opinion upon them before he sent the canvases to the dealers. Of course, we both wrote at once asking him to mane us a visit, and he has accepted. He will be here Saturday." "And this is Tuesday," Lillian said, evidently checking off in her mind the interval remaining to her before the arrival of the artist. "I shall have time to get back from Washington and moved back to town before he gets here." "Lillian!" I expostulated angrily, too wrought up to remember the rule I had always followed that of never questioning nor comment ing upon Lillian's actions. "You must not-i-cannot do that! It will be so pointed. He will know you have lived out here all summer, and cannot help but guess the reascn for your sudden flitting. "I know," she said wearily, and the bright color faded from her face again, "but, Madge, I cannot, sim ply cannot live next door to Robert Savarin for the weeks that he will probably be here. Meet him occa sionally I suppose I must, but to be thrown into such neighborly in timacy I I can't, Madge." It was the first confession of weakness I had ever heard from her, and for a moment astonishment held me. That Lillian, who was always a tower of strength for the trou bles and weaknesses of her friends, who kept her own joys and sorrows j securely . hidden (hat she should acknowledge her own inability to cope with a situation seemed an almost unbelievable thing to mc. The next moment I turned away my face to hide the jubilant look which I was afraid was reflecting the inspiration that had come to nie. If Lillian was afraid that being thrown in Robert Savarin's com pany would weaken her resolution to sacrifice him for the devil-may-care, callous and unscrupulous ad venturer whose name she bore, then I resolved that I would compass such proximity if it were within hu man power to do so. ' Madge Disembles. A weapon lay ready to my hand, and I did not scruple to use it. With my face full of consternation that was not altogether assumed, I turned back facing her. "But but what about Jake Wil sey, and the things that have to be done about the Stockbridge case?" I faltered. "I I am foolish, I know, but I'm absolutely terror stricken at the thought of that man. I have been so busy with Mrs. Dur kee that I haven't gone outside the grounds, but I cannot stay in for ever. It seems as .though I couldn't stand the suspense of this whole miserable business longer. And if you aren't going to be with me " Lillian gave me a remorseful glance, in which, however, I saw a tinge of speculative shrewdness. "I .know, she said quickly, then more slowly, "If you feel that way, I wonder hoW you dare to make this trip tq Sag Harbor that I have asked of you." - "Because," I anskcred as quickly. French Suffrage Bill Will Be ' Presented" France is finally giving some at tention to extending the franchise to women. The new republics that have arisen from the ruins of the monarchies of the old world have given women many of the franchise privileges, but France where liber ty, equality and fraternity are bea con lights, has not given women the recognition which their intelligence and devotion seem to warrant. The Frenchmen are gallant but never seemed to think their women cared to vote. French women .may have their opportunity shortly, however, as the new suffrage bill starts out with the backing of 65 deputies. In Corea the women arc taught to shun the opposite sex from theii earliest girlhood and their seclusion is carried to the utmost limit. my wits sharpened by the emer gency, "that village, as you know, is the last place Jake Wilsey is apt to be. He has a wholesome horror, I think, of Mrs. Ticer. And I would not dare to drive out there. But I think I can manage the railroad journey without -any one's suspect ing my absence." Lillian considered a minute, then she threw up her head with her old air of facing emergencies. "I wish I knew," she said at last, "how much of your panic is real, how much is due to your desire to shield Robert's feelings. But I yield in cither case. It will simply mean an extra thickness of armor for me. And now please help me pack this bag. I must catch that train, and I haven't many minutes to spare." (Continued Tomorrow.)
