Juniors Are Eligible | For Athletic Field ENTY-FIVE girls were present at the last meeting of the Capi- tal Athletic Club of Girls, when an amendment to the club constitution permitting the admission of junior members was passed. These junior members will be girls between the ages of ten and sixteen years, and they will have all club privileges as to participation in various kinds of athletics, but will not have a voice in the club vote, nor can they hold office. There are now thirty-five girls in the entire organization. The new- est members, formally admitted to the club at this meeting, are Mar- guerite Newnam, Tilly Raine, Polly Treland and Camille O'Hara. The basket ball team of the club played the first official game of the season with the team from. the Stroll- ers Club, in the Wilson Normal School _gymnasium, last Thursday night. Margaret Harrls is temporary ptain of the team and plays as a orward” on the team. The others are: Center, Camille O'Hara; side center, Gladys Mills; other forward. Winifred Faunce; guards. Harriet mnd Dorothy Kimball. Many of the other girls in the club are practicing basket ball and probably will take their turns on the team in other games of the season. . The club will hold its next meeting Friday afternoon, in Mrs. Locher's udio, at the usual time—5:30 in the ernoon.

Last year $150,000 was cleared through the bank, and, in addition, nearly $40,000 was used In cashing checks. These checks includ- ed those used for school expenses, teachers' checks, etc. Only 10 cents is necessary to start an account, and it s reasoned that the depositing of an account will help a student to ac~ quire the thrift habit, teach him how to deposit money and how to with- draw it. Although the general manager of the bank is E. O. Harned, a teacher of accountancy in the school, the bank president, Miss Ross, is a very capable young lady, and the success of the bank this vear is a proof of her individual responsibility, as well as of the excellent team work amon; all the girls and the two boys on the staff. Miss Ross is specializing in a busi- ness course, and, although at present her plans are not definitely decided upon, will probably follow a business career. Annual Banquet. HE girls of the business girls’ de- partment of the Y. W. C. A. will meet for their annual banquet at the headquarters building on_ Friday, January 26. Miss Mildred King, sec- ctary for this department, is in charge of general arrangements for the banquet. It is expected that at least 200 members of these clubs will be_present.

The troop is fortunate in having Lieut. Butler to give a regular course in drilling, beginning Wed- nesday. Mre. Butler, mother of Mary Marion Butler, was a guest at this meeting. Basket Ball. In the spring a young girl's fanoy Lightly turns to games of tennis (If athletically inclined) And her sure serve is a menace To opponents who, that fall, Didn’t practice basket ball. Later on, when grounds aren’t Soggy, Base ball proves alluring game To_the sport girl's energy; The result is just the same— She can play the best of all Who has practiced basket ball So_it seems to always be, Little matters what the sport Which a girl may choose to follow, In & game of any sort Helpful tricks one can récall From the sport of basket ball. Yes, games' may come and games may go And please the carefree girl, But there's one game that's taken hold With girls of all the world; It's played by girls both tall and Fmall— The good old game of basket ball. Old Acquaintance. Suppose some one comes up to you, with the expression of recognition in his eve and outstretched hand, and says: “Why, Jane Smith! I haven't seen you for ten years, and you look younger to- day than you did then.” And suppose that you can't for the life of you recall the face of the nmame of the person speaking to you. Then he says: “¥ou don’t Know me; do_ you?” and the chances are that you will say, “Why, in- deed I do,” and you'll probably add that he hasn't changed either in all these ten years, Now, it is much better for the one who does the recognizing to give his name. ‘“T'm John Brown—I used to go to school with you in the eighth grade,” or something like that will prevent the embarrassment that is bound to result If the recognition is a one-sided affair. Sometimes you see a face that you feel is the face of an old juaintance. You cannot place it, but you look- ing at It e you feel that in & moment full recognition will come. Now sometimes our memories trick us in this way, 'A face is very familiar; for a time it seems as If it must be ‘that of an old friend, and when we finally place it, the face is that of the girl who seils tickets at the motion picture theater, or the man who sings tenor in the church quartet, neither of whom weo know save by sight.

The iname is really a contraction of two Latin words, Diva, meaning goddess, and Jena, a proper name used by the ancients. The Goddess Diana, known to the Greeks as Artemis, is given the quality of purity as her dominant trait. The woods are considered her special property and the silver bow s her emblem. This name should be particularly appropriate for a Girl Scout or a Camp Fire Girl, or any girl who delights especially in life in the open and camping parties in the woods. The poppy is sald to be the flower for Diana. The Goddess Diana goddess and chastity for all slaves were which were especially The Temple of Diana at Ephesus, in Asia Minor, was one of the most beautiful structures of the old world. It was erected in 620 B. C. and be- came a place of pilgrimags for all Asia Minor and Greece. It contained a golden statue of the goddess. The edifice, after restoration, was judged among the seven wonders of the an- clent world. “Diana” {s the name of one of the pastoral romances written by Jorge de Montemavor, a Portuguese writer, and has lived in the history of litera- ture. “Diana Enamorada,” by Gaspar Gil Polo, was based on this story, which is also said to have been the basic inspiration of Shakespeare's “Two Gentlemen of Verona.” Shapes- peare has another Diana in his com- edy “All's Well that Ends Well." Among historical Dianas is Diana of France, Duchess of Montmorency and Angouleme. She enjoved great influence at the court of Henry IV. Another French duchess of this name was Diana of Poitlers, who ruled with unlimited power under the patronage of Henry II of France. She was ac- credited with such unusual wit and charm that superstitious cotempora- ries accused her of using magic means to develop her powers. She is also known as the Duchess of Valentinols. Diana has always proved an un- usually bappy inspiration for works of art. The statue of Diana in the Louvre, Paris, is generally considered as the companion piece to that de- picting Apollo Belvedere. Titian painted a famous picture of Diana and Domenichino's picture of “Diana with Her Nymphs" has been general- 1y considered an artistic masterplece Hans Makart painted “Diane’s Hunt," one of the most popular pictures of this goddess. Diana is a name that does not seem 16 have any variations and only two yersions that are used as nicknames, These are DI and Dye. Some authori- ties have declared that Dinah is a {form of Diana, but this is not gener- |ally recognized and Dinah is usually |considered an entirely individual was tho moon and protection characteristics signed to her. Orange Flavor. The resourceful housewife always finds what ®he is looking for when jshe turns to oranges for interestiig {desserts. Here are some worthwhile ways of using them: Orange 2nd chestnut compote is an {unusuaily attractive dessert. A pound {of chestauts is boiled until very soft, | then drained and mixed with a cupfui of sweetencd whipped cream. Tne chestnut cream is placed In a dessert dish, Very thin slices of oranges are laid on fop of the cream. ~ Plain whipped cream is piled over the whole. Orange Cake.—Cream two-thirds cup- ful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar. Add three beaten egg yolks and thes cupfuls of flour in Which three teaspoonfuls of baking powder have been sifted.

Orange Sauce.—Work one-fourth cupful of butter until creamy and add gradually, while beating constantly, one-half cupful of powdered sugar: then add two tablespoonfuls of rich milk or thin cream, at first drop by drop to prevent a separation. Flavor with the grated rind and juice of an orange. Orange Layer Cake—One-hal cupful of cooking oil, one cupful of sugar, two eggs, one-half cup of milk, one and one-fourth cupfuls of flour, one- fourth cupful of cornstarch, one and one-half _teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one teaspoonful of salt. Sift flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt together; mix milk and fat together: beat yolks of eggs until thick: add sugar, then alternately add_the milk and flour. Fold in the well beaten whites of the eggs and flavoring. Bake in layers in a mod- erately hot oven. Filling and frost- ing: Two cupfuls of confectioner's sugar, grated rind of one orange and orange juice to make paste soft enough to spread easily. ——s Orange Shortcake. For the shortcake mix and sift together two cupfuls of flour, one- half & teaspoonful of salt, three tea- spoonfuls of baking powder, and add three tablespoonfuls of butter and three tablespoonfuls of lard, which should_be chopped until thoroughly blended.

He stretched a long neck and sniffed and sniffed at her. But since she did not got up, he did not leave her. He waited until she was ready to start off again, quite glad of the rest him- self. However, there was not to be much rest for him: A shriek of diabolical laughter rang out at his very heels. With a snort of fear and rage, he lashed out. The laughter turned into a howl of pain and one of the hyenas retreated on three legs, with a broken shoulder. But there were twenty or more of them now, agalnst one old horse and a girl too utterly exhausted to know even that her life was In danger. And each of the hyenas had a strength of jaw that could break the thigh of an ox, and a cowardice of heart equaled only by their strength. For some time they circled round, watching their prey with ravenous, glaring green eyes, and every now and again one of the other made a forward rush, only to find those iron heels between it and its meal. The horse understood being baited in this manner by foes just beyond his reach. It had been part of the hell the girl he guarded had rescued him from. As time went on the hyenas grew bolder. Once they rushed in a body. But they retreated. One with a broken jaw, one with a mouthtul of live flesh torn from “The Sultan’s” flank, and one did not retreat at all. It lay with its ‘skull smashed {n, its brains be- spattering the horse's hoofs—hoofs over which now a red stream oozed, filling the hot night air with the smell of blood. desperate battle raged in the lonely desert under the white light of the moon. A battle that filled the night with the mad mirth of hyenas, and the wild shrieks of a frightened. burt, infuriated horse—The Sultan ~—fighting as he had fought that day in the east end of London when Pansy had first come across him. But fight- ing for her life as well as his own, against the cowards that beset him. CHAPTER XXIX The sound of that desperate confiict rang through the stillness of the night, reaching the ears of a man who was riding at breakneck speed along the sandy track leading in the direction of the oasis. Those diabol- fcal shrieks of laughter filled him with & torture of mind almost past bearing. In them he heard tho volces of hyenas mangling the girl he loved. Le Breton had always known Pansy would run away if an opportunity occurred. But he had imagined that he had made escape impossible. After dinner he went to the gilded room, to pay an evening visit to his prisoner, since business affairs had kept him from dining with her. However, ghe was not there. Experience had taught him that it would be no use looking for her in the moonlit, rose-scented garden. She never went there after sunset, for fear he should come across her, and the beauty and romance of it all combined ‘with his presence, should force the surrender he was waiting or, Not finding Pansy in her own pri- vate quarters, he went into the big hall of the barem, only to be told she had not been’ there since well before dinner. i On learning this he set the women pearching in_every corner of the harem. But Pansy was nowhere to be_found. Beyond a doubt, she had managed to escape. For a moment the news dazed him. He did not waste time in trying to discover how she had es- caped, or who was responsible for her getting away, She had gone. That one fact glared at him. No one know better than the sultan himself the dangrs awaiting the girl once she strayed beyond his care. Within & few minutes all his serv- ants and_ soldiers were out looking for the fugitive, soouring the city, with threats of the dire fafe awaiting any one who dared either hide or in- Jjure the sultan's wife. A hasty search brought no trace of the girl, but one of the search partles learned that a horse was missing from the royal stables. On hearing this the sultan went at once to the stables, looking for a clue there. The missing horse was Pansy's The discovery sent a sudden glow of hope coursing through him. It argued that somehow or other she had managed to reach the stables and had set out into the desert. ‘The sultan understood horses, even better, it seemed to him now, than he understood women. Left to its own devices the old horse would go the way it knew the best; the way he generally took it. And left to itself it was almost certain to be, since its rider had no knowledge of any of the sandy tracks that lay around the city. Within a few moments he was on the swiftest of his own horses, riding with all speed toward the oasis; but not before leaving orders with his officers to scour the desert in every direction. He had ridden perhaps five miles when into the stealthy-hiss of the sand another sound came. At first 8o far away that it was but a dis- tant moan in the night. As he tore on rapidly it grew louder, developing into a chorus of hideous Jaughter, the cry of hyenas howling round their Teoy. DDZIQrL reared, instinctive he knew thers must be at least twenty of them. ‘When, above the melee he heard the terrorized screams of a horse, & deadly fear clutched him. Where the horse was, the girl was. And the sound told him the two had been at- ked. B olind Pansy the ghastly conflict was raging. Around her mangled corpse, perhaps. ““He ‘suffered all the tortures of the damned, as with s]plmixr and crgp“:e the great stallion onward, un- B animal was @ lather of Sweat d foam. ax".l‘)w hyenas heard the throb of those approaching hoofs, and fear gripped their cowardly hearts.

As the slow jnurne{ ‘went on Pansy :Ie,l,d l].-!up against the strength that eld her. The sultan was quick to note this, and he smiled at the small tired face on his shoulder. He knew the nature of the girl he held. It would be im- possible for her to go to sleep in any man’s arms except those of the man ehe loved. She was very foolish to fight against him, but fight she would until he used his strength and ended the battle. An uneven contest the last round would be, with no doubt as to who would be the victor. CHAPTER XXX On a wide ottoman in her room Pansy lay. The /golden lamps were burning low, casting black shadows on the gilded walls of her cage. ‘Through the open arches the moon- light streamed, pouring in from a misty, mystic world where trees sighed vaguely in a silvered air. Early that morning the sultan had brought Pansy back to the palace. Since then she had seen nothing of him. She brooded on her attempt to es- cape, which had only ended in her being more of a prisoner than ever. The guards about the entrance of her quarters had been doubled. The door leading into the harem was locked. Alice had been removed, her place taken by an Arab woman who would not or could not understand a word Pansy said to her. Sleepless she lay among the silken cushions, brooding on the life that had once been hers; a life 5o remote from her present one that it might never have been. It was impossible to believe that far beyond this desert city there lay a place cailed London, where she had been free as air, where she could come and go as she pleased, where she had dined and danced and lunched and visited. A world of dreams, re- mote, unreal. lost to her forever, where she had been Pansy Langham, feted and courted, with soclety at her feet. Now she was a sultan’s slave, a chattel, her very life dependent on a barbaric ruler's whim. On what punishment would be doled out to her for her attempt to get away she next brooded. There had been such a set. determined expression on her captor's face when he brought her back to her prison. The sound of some one coming to- ward her apartment broke in on her dreary reverie. It was close on mld- night. She had never been disturbed at that hour before. She looked up quickly. The third door of her Toom was opening: one that had never opened before; a door the harem girls had told her led to the sultan’s private sulte. And the sultan, himself, was entering. The sultan attired as she had never seen him before—in silk pajamas. Pansy started to her feet. She stood slight and white and silden-clad against the golden walls; her heart beating with a sickly force that al- ;nost choked her; her eyes wide with ear. The end had come with a sudden- ness she was not prepared fo He crossed to her side: tenderness and determination on.his face: love and passion in his eyeés. For a moment thers was silence. “So, Pansy.” he sald at length. “You've tried to solve the problem your way. Now I'm going to solve it mine. You've fought against love quite long enough, against yourself and against me. I'm going to end the fight between us. Tonight, my little slave, you sleep within my arms and learn’ all that love means.” At his words a flood of crimson swept over her strained face. She had but & vague idea of what was before her, but inetinct told her it was some- thing she must fight against. Her gaze went to the arches, as if in search of some way of escape there. There was none. Only the white stars looked in coldly, and night breathed on her, soft and sensuous. He knew where her thoughts were, and he laughed softly “There's no escape this time, Pansy," he said. The fear in her eyes deepened. Wild- 1y she searched round in her head for a way of getting rid of him for the time being. And only one course pre- eented itself. “T . .. I'll marry you,” she stam- mered. “We'll be married by all _means, it you wish, as soon as I can find a man to do the job. But you've been just a little too long In making up your mind. My patience is worn out.” In her determination to live up to her own standards—standards that had no value in this desert city— Pansy saw she had tried this half- tamed man too far. He came closer and held out his arms. “Come, my little flower,” he whis- pered passionately. Quickly she moved further away ;'rurn the arms that would have held er. “Won't you come willingly?" asked, in soft, caressing tones. “Do you still refuse me the love I want, and which I know {s mine?” “I don't want you or your love, she cried wildly, frantic at the knowl- edge of her own helplessness. He laughed with & touch of flerce- ness. “What cruel words to throw at your lover! - But since you won't come, my little slave, then—I must take he ou. He would have taken her there and then, but with a swift movement she avolded him. Then Pansy. ran, as she had run from him once before, like a white wraith in the moonlight. But this time he followed. There were no_electric lights and ragtime band to run to now. Only a moonlit_garden full of the scent of roses. There was no crowd of people to give hér shelter, only the deep shadows of cypresses. In the darkness she paused, out of ily louder. On the whiteness of the lonely desert a dark patch appeared; a_patch that rapidly became bigger and headed straight toward them. It was one thing to-attack a tired old horse and a half-stunned girl, but another to face & huge black stallion and the big man in the white bur- noose who rode it. The hyenas did not face the com- bination. With & weird howl of dis- appointment, they turned tail sudden- ly and scuttied away into the desert, leaving the old horse shivering with rellef and pain and exhaustion, The feeling of som= cne touching her made Pansy open her eyes. Into her hazy world her captor’s face in- truded. He was half-kneeling on the sand beside her, examining her limbs, feeling her heart, to see if she were injured in any way. . For a moment Pansy could not be- lieve her eye: Then she put out a weak:hand to push him away. But a push did not remove him. He was still there, in ‘white cloak and hood; a desert chief who wanted to marry her. Big and solid he knelt beside her, a fact not to be escaped from. And his.hand wae on her bosom as if to steal the heart she would not give him. Satisfled Pansy was not hurt in any way, the sultan got to his feet, and turned toward the horse. It needed more attention than the girl. He petted and patted the worn-out shivering animal, talking to it in a deep, caressing voice, as he bound up its gaping wounds with lengths torn from his own te garments. ‘Then he lifted thé girl on his own horse, and, mounting himself, set out l:u a slow walk toward his city. Pansy made a feeble struggle when he found hereelf in his arms, her breath, hoping he would not see her. A vain hope. His eyes had learnt to plerce the gloom. She was in his arms almost before she knew it. There was a brief, uneven struggle, as Pansy fought against a man who knew no law except his own desires. Weak and weeping she collapsed against him, on a heart that leapt to meet her. There was a stone seat near. On it the sultan seated himself, the girl In his arms. And In the scented. sigh- ing silence he tried to soothe the tears his methods had roused. And trembling she lay against the passion and power that held her, re- fusing to be comforted. “There’s nothing to weep about, my darling,” he whispered. “Sooner or later you have to learn that I'm your master. Just as you've taught me that all women are not ripe fruit. willing #nd anxious to fall into my hands. And I must have some closer tle between us, since love alone won't keep you from running away from m Pansy’s tears fell all the faster. For now it seemed her own doings were responsible for this cri He sat on, waiting until the storm was over. The tremors of the slight form that lay against his heart, 50 heipless, yet 80 anxious not to do wrong, struck through the fire and passion in the man to what lay beneath—true love and protection. Prescntly he kissed the strained, tear-stained face pillowed against his shoulder. “Tt's like old times to be sitting in the moonlight and among the roses with you in my arms,” he said, all at onoe. | i | AROUND THE CITY By Nannie Lancaste UT Virginia avenue southeast thers is an ancient land- mark—not the one in which Mrs. Southworth wrote her first novels, nor the other one with black fron steps, where Lafayette used to stay, but the farthest-out one—that shows a hulking red-brick shoulder to the corner, and which in its day was called “the ark.” On Sundays pilgrims from all over every- where used to gather around the house to watch any signs of life go- ing on inside among the different families congregated in its rooms, for the ark was the very first house in the District, 50 the old-timers say, to start the industry of renting rooms. Boarding houses were as the sands of the ses. But just plaih rented rooms, where a family could cook for itself! This seed of an idea produced & crop of room renters that over- flowed every resident section of the city, untll, in turn, apartments stepped into the scheme of local life. If you stop to think your friends over, you will notice that every busi- ness woman, and even the ordinary clerking young man, lives in an apartment of some sort; some alone, but mostly in bunches. In a flat you have a kitchenette and can fix your own menu according to fancy or in- come. In a rented room there is always a landlady who objects— nearly always—to what we call light housekeeping, which is perfectly proper, seeing a tenant has no right %o burn her gas or smoke up her walls, and 80 on. For one case in hand, there is a young fellow in the commission line who still has his way to make—a nice young fellow, whom a quite stylish buddy called on the other evening. The room was gray with smoke and the nice young fellow was frying green sausage “in advance” so that he could have them ready for break- fast. Alsg, he had fried a steak to eat at once, having before that fried rashers of breakfast bacon to get the grease to cook the steak. And of all the messes! And the joy! “Better stay outside if you have your good suit on. I'm about through. Bee, all I have to do is turn oft the gas and open the window. Come in and have a bite.” The buddy, who has an apartment with two other buddies and money enough among them to hire a cook, wanted an explanation of the big idea. The host lald a newspaper on a chair, surrounded the guest with bottles, jars and cans that meant pickles, horseradish, sauces and may- onnaise; put him in touch with celery, lettuce and a tomato: turned a browned slab of porterhouse on his plate and told him to go ahead. “It's great, son. One day It struck me that I could get stuff at cost rates from the commission house, and I've been a blooming cereus ever since. I give the lady I live with 50 cents a week for gas, and, as the old roost wants repapering anyhow, she lets me do this cooking. You see, if I had a sink and a regular place to get rid of the trash—say, I got some bully fresh eggs at cost price. Want a dozen with my compliments?" Buddy did, and, having insisted on payment, arm to take back to the flat. Which, in & small way, helps to| answer the question why so many apartment houses are rising up every day in every way, HEN the Antediluvian Club met the other night, not in the New Ebbitt, Miss Mattie May, acting presi- dent in the absence of Miss Adaline, who was unavoidably detained, an- nounced that Miss Cornella Ann Blank, who was to have lectured on “My Travels in Florida,” {llustrated | with post cards, would be unable to to be present, and if any member would kindly——with a look of arch in- vitation all around— No member would. Distinctly not, with no preparation whatever, Mis: Teeny Clorine, who was the ante- diluvianist member present, and ob- tucked the box under his| viously the only one willing for the sacrifice, offered to render a piane solo. But no, sir; the club had set its fancy on a travel feature. And the members were real put out and disappointed when the presiding officer extended an invitation to an outsider who had sort of sneaked in surreptitiously with a member who had been feeling too poorly to ven- ture out alone and who had an air of waiting until the session wasover and she could take her back home. The outsider arose to the humble statement that she had never given a talk of any sort—besides, she had never been to Flort: That was perfectly all right. Any- where would do—*just an informa! little description of her last trip—any- where.” Well, you know how it is when vou feel you have just got to do what is wanted of you. So the out- sider was led to the four ottomans covered with a rug that served for platform and, with an apology for lack of {llustrations, started out something llke this: “I have just come from Spain. 1 was in Salamanca the day its big university made Teresa a doctor. King Alfonso was there in an open carriage, his horses wearing plumes: and everywhere you could see flags and pennants, and soldiers in leather jerkins, and armored knights on chargers, and prelates in vestments led by acolytes and crossbearers, and students, and medieval monks, and ~olendid streets with houses like the #stles in Spain you know about, and wtople and people who could have gone to a mask ball and won prizes for the most picturesque costumes ‘without changing a stitch, and, above everything, a sky as blue as a baby's eyes. Il at once there was a hush of reverence as the figure of a sain: was borne on a float, with children strewing flowers before the way. The famous Teresa was receiving the degree of doctor from Spain’s great- est university on the anniversary of the third century of her canonisation as patron saint of Spain— “After leaving Spain I had the ex- perience of climbing up and down a steep mountain in a machine that motored across the water to a war- #hip, a#l, having been lifted to the deck, flew up into the sky like a bird But thi nicest feature of the trip, after I got back to New York, was & Chinese baby show, with the whole of Chinatown decked out, for prizes just like ours, with this difference: Instead of the awards going to the prettiest and cutest youngsters, they were won by the boy babies who could cry loudest and longest And that is all. Thank you.” There was a rising vote of thanks, following which refreshments wers served. Awd when the meeting was over the 1a8v who was feeling poorly said to the tutsider who was taking her home: “Ann, honey, tat trip of yours was news to me. When did you see al that?" | And Ann, honey, said to the who was feeling poorly | “Movies, this afternoon.
