Interesting Events Among Local Girls! The girls in Troop 34 of the Girl ' Beouts are planning a unique enter- tainment for next Friday evening. It| is to be a porch party, and four dif- ferent porches will be used for the| affair. All of them will be decorated | with gay Chinese lanterns, and ice cream, cake, candy and fruit will be sold on them. The porches are all; on Valley place, southeast Washing- ton. The money raised by this porch party will be used in sending some | of the troop members to Camp Brad- | ley during the month of August. The girls of Troop 6 of the Girl Scouts are also planning an enter- tainment to help raise funds needed to permit some of their members to enjoy the jolly camp life at Camp Bradley. This troop will give a lawn | fete in Mount Ralnier, Md.. next Tuesday night. Beside the sale of refreshments, entertainment will be afforded by a fish pond, grab bag and fortune teiling. Miss Edna Yokem. captain of the troop. will be in charge of the various actlvities. Laf-a-lot Lodge was the scene of several jolly picnic parties last week. Two groups of Girl Reserves used the little cabin. One group spent the en- tire day Monday camping and swim- ming there, and the second group en- Joved the camp privileges all day ves- terday.

It indicates steadfastness of purpose and loyalt a | {.\lm: be re skeptical young man might | ured if he found a girl with | like that. The sentiment| tached to the name means| and the blue hyacinth is the emblem of Constance. The name first became popular in! the time of King Constantine and has | al been especially favored by the veople of the British lIsles, although forms of it have been unusually pop-| ular all over Europe. Many of the { reigning families of gland, France, | Italy and Spain have favored it, and! the Russian royal family is said to| have adopted it as a regular family name to signify pretensions to the Byzantine crown and the possession of Constantinople. | There have been many royal women | named Constance, and the name has been used for the heroines of many ! well known books and plays. Prob- | ably the outstanding Constance of literature is the heroine of Sir Wal- ter Scotts famous poem “Marmion,” who was walled up alive in a con- s dungeon for breaking her re- ligious vows. To the American girl of today the name Constance instantly brings to mind Constance Talmadge, the clever young comedienne, of the motion ple- tures. She is undoubtedly one of the eading actresses of the screen and | possesses great versatility, although her more recent stories lend her lit- tle opportunity to display the bril- liance and charm of well rounded | characterization that the delightful! comedies of Several years ago, when she played opposite” Harrison Ford, gave her. In speaking of this Con- stance it is rather paradoxical to note that capriciousness rather.than con- stancy is a principal ingredient of the majority of her characterizations, which is but proof of how careful one should be in bestowing a name very opposite of of her name.

C: ¢ ¢ STUDIES STATE LAWS. Miss Bass Is of Group From Woman's Party. Prominent among the oldest profes- slons of dignity and tradition waich are welcoming women into their ranks is that of law. There are to- day more than 2,000 woman lawyers in the United States and hardly a col- i lege or university that has not girls enrolled among the students of its law department. Next Saturday night the alumnae of the \ashington Col- lege of Law end members of the Women's Bar Association will pro- vide a large proportion of the guests at tne banguet 1o be given at the Grace | Dodge ~ Hotel in honor of the | Seventieth birthday anniversary of Miss Emma Gillette, dean of the Washingion College of Law. More than 625 invitations have been sent out for this banquet. Among the speajsers to address this group, made up largely of woman lawyers, are Miss Alics Paul of the national woman's party and Miss Sara P. Grogan. The girl who is president of the Legal Club of the Washington Col lege of Law, under whose auspices the banquel 'is being given, is i Lillian Bass, a little sonthern girl who will receive her degree in law next spring. To lock 2t this embry place her in a frame of moonlight and honeysuckle down by the old Su- Walee 1iver rather than m a court- room addressing a miscellaneous, scrambled jury.

This work is being done by ®tates and special | notations are made concerning’ all in any way discriminate against women. At present Miss Bass is working on Texas, having just completed an outline of all such laws of the state of Georgla. It is a speech regarding these laws of Georgia, especially those which discriminate against women, that Miss Bass will give at a meeting called for tomorrow night in the garden back of the national woman's party building at 25 Ist street northeast, at 8 o'cloc All members of the Georgia Soci and all others in- terested In this subject are invited to attend the meeting. the primary motive of which is to discuss the women's campaign in Georgia in all laws that ! of its phases. Discriminations in the laws of this one state indicate some of the many problems to be met with by women in the diffcrent states all over the country. They also indicate some of the many opportunities for woman lawyers in the United States for spe- clalizing in cases concerning their own sex or cases regarding children now and in the near future.

In the last analysis it is these principles of truth and honesty which must determine the real merit of anything from an artistic stand- point. In other words. what may be in perfect keeping and harmony for my wealthy neighbor, no matter how ! beautiful of itself, would be in de; cidedly poor taste in any more hum- ble home. Nothing is in really good taste that is too costly and fragile | to be either useful or in keeping with its surroundings. This is one of the hardest lessons to learn, especially for those whose incomes are always limited, be- cause the size of our pocketbooks by no means measures our appreciation and love for beauty. and when some- thing especially attracts us and we happen to have the price we are 8o proud to buy, regardless of whether the object will fit in the place where it must be put. e Judging from the houses and fur- niture that have come down to us from our colonfal fathe their homes were fine products of high thinking. simple living and honest and courageous dealing. Nothing was overdone or cluttered or crowd- ed. Each piece fulfilled a useful mission in a substantlal and direct manner, and the resulting dignity and charm to this day have a strong- er hold on our imaginations than any of the more modern productions. Of course’ those sturdy people did not have the temptations and confusing multiplicity of things from which to choose that we have today. Thelr furniture was all made by hand and. consequently, scarce, while now great factories and wonderful machines turn out such quantities of house- hold furnishings that all may buy something, and it is all the more im- perative that we get back to the bed- rock principles and steadfastly re- fuse to be engulfed by the prevalent desire for luxury and display and quantity. If necessary, do with less and buy only well-made pieces of high quality and good designs— things with which you can live com- fortafly and which to you never grow lold or cease to satisfy your sense of | harmony and the fitness of things.

Tllustrated. New York: George H. Doran Com- pany. NEW kind of autobiography— the best kind, so far. In plan, as the title imples, the author gathers up the im- portant und significant points in his life by way of a series of letters to his daughter. This lifting up to view only the high points of existence is a great gain over the stereotyped, and laul, routine of an undeviating chronology. Another outstanding and inviting feature of the book is the splendid fellowship that so obviously exists between this father and daugh- ter. It is this that glves the book its Intimlcy of appeal. It is this that provides the author with an incentive, not only to select his points with an eye to their values, but to present them, as well, for the immediate sympathy and comprehension of a highly intelligent contemporary. These letters move straight across to the mind of this daughter, with never a sign of condescension or fatherly admonition. They are equals, these two. The record guins tremendously from this fact. Out of it, from the author’s boyhood in Scotland on up to his distinguished present, all sorts of interesting and intimate facts proceed. Glimpses of national mat- ters—parties and politics—appear embodying, in one role or another, famillar figures in imperil affairs. In this respect the book is an illuminating commentary. Out of it, also, comes, by Incidence only, the picture of a beautiful family life. In an equally casual way it reveals a modest and xeniu man. whose simplicity of outlook in a most in- volved period o' events s . information and joy to the reader. Lourd Snaw, “one o the British loras of appeal,”" has announced, so the newspapers say, his intention of sail- ing for this countrv teo address both the American and Canadian bar ociations. In view ol Luls an- wement one is doubly glad to read the “Letters to Isabel.” OUTCAST. By Selma Lagerlof, ithor of “The Emperor of Portu- salia,” etc. Transiated by W. Worster. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co. If you are of those who contend that the novel should hold the look- ing glass to life then you will approve of this story, since its every page glves evidence that setting, and plot, and personal character, combine here to lift bodily into this framework of adventure a bit of Sweden itself. Moreover if you ehjoy the beauty of ordered plan, of the fit and pondered word, you have an addéd promise of pleasure here at the hands of Selma Lagerlof, the first woman to receive the Nobel prize for literature. This is the story of Sven Elversson. Sven became part of a polar expedition. Upon his return to his home frightful rumors followed him—nothing less that th reduced to trie Bldg., 607 14th St starvation, had eaten the companion who, unable, to_endure longer. had shot himselfl This rumor accounts for the “outcast.” The story advances by way of the life that Sven Elvers- son was forced to ‘lead in the small fishing village. which was fed, large- ‘1y, on superstititon and ignorance.

Con- stantly one s reminded of that other Fisherman. who. under the cruelty and revilings of the people, became truly the Man of Sorrows.

THE FLAMING JEWEL. By Robert W. Chambers, author of he Lit- tle Red Foot,” etc. New York: George H. Doran Company. A ripping adventure. In these days when anything—anything—can hap- pen, and does, it is not becoming to sit down and fiddle with the minor inconsistencies of a stirring enter- prise. So, let us jump into this af- fair whole-heartedly. Busy? Not a minute to lie by here. It happened, the most of it, up in the north woods, a spot that Mr. Chambers likes and knows how to make us like as 11. The tremendous go of the story is sustained by the secret quest of a stolen jewel, which a band of inte: national thieves had taken from a Russain lady of high degree. Sus- pition points to Mike Clinch's “rotten dump” in the north woods. And it is in this neighborhood that secret service men and robbers and en- gaging young women and potential lovers congregate to carry forward the business of carrying that flaming jewel. Crooks from the four quarters 1of the earth assemble here; and {added to these are a couple of up- | standing young fellows who not only prove to be equal to the whole kit- and-caboodle of thieves, but turn out, we leave this turmoil of successful leriminal hunting. these two ‘are headed upon the innocuous pursuits of matrimony.

The surface of this novel presents Bennett Malin in his student days, in his courtship and subsequent married life, the head of the house, the fath- er of a son. A literal picture, from this angle, that does not differ from a majority of domestic concerns in real iife. The undercurreat of the story, however, consists in & study of the personality and character of a self-centered man who ‘ possesses a swollen estimate of his own powers and possibilities. A selfish and fore- casting person, this Bennett Malin.

The novel is psychological in effect, though upon its surface it is a literal record of events, rounding into a story whose color is all of the courtly life in which it is set.

The author of this story of Colom bia_stands high in that country as a writer, just as, in his lifetime, he achleved prominence as an advocate of peace and orderly development for his war-torn country. The story’in hand is 2 blg one—an inclusive story, in the nature of a panorama portraying in brilliant and vivid colors the general life of the revolutionary country of Co- dombia. It is an adventure of swift change, of sudden and frequent politi- cal upheaval, of the siow advance of democratic growth, of the decay of the aristocratic principle.
