BALTIMORE, February 1.— of Maryland, ally yourselves with one | of the two great political parties; then begin with your own precinct and start housecleaning.” This was the advice given by Miss Alice Robertson, United States con- gresswoman from Oklahoma, more familiarily known as just “Miss Alice,” to the women of the Roland Fark Club at their meeting last week. “Any group of people who form themselves into a new party con- stitutes a grave danger to tne portical welfare of this count It is right re two parties, two big ould never hold the balance of power. For the development of this country we need both the repub- lican and the democratic parties, but we do not need, nor do we want, & women' as opposed to the men. “So I say join the party in which vou believe and then start in on the jowest rung of the ladder.

It is not necessarily wealth that she wants, for the notoriously unhappy. for the greatest beauty grows out of sorrow. Nor health alone, for the strong physique is often dis- contented. If you can’t put your finger on the formula for being happy, try to re- move the causes of unhappiness. One, and only one thing—perhaps a very little thing—will make you unhappy. An uncomfortable shoe, for instance. | l That is why so many women have found life easier and brighter when they changed to Cantilever Shoes— |\ shoes that are shaped like the foot, flexible like the foot arch, with heels | R of proper height.
