Girls and Their ‘Affairs. Conducted by Helen H. Fetler. IRLS and women have always been dubbed the “talkative" sex and the idea has never seemed to disturb them very much or act as a force to quench thelr tendency toward loquacity. On the other hand, they have never de- murred at the fact that they have al ways, previously, had men to talk for them on all big issues of the day in Congress and other important bodles of representatives of both men's and wom- en's interests. Yet this state of affairs is gradually but surely changing and women are speaking for themselves, re- garding both their personal and bus ness interests, in conventions, board meetings, community councils, state government boards and, recently and persistently, even in the halls of the national ' Congress. Girls have never denied that they liked to talk, yet rarely do they utilize the “gift of gab" to such a point that it becomes too evident. Instead of that, Eirls have talked along regardless of ridicule and admonition and now y ‘are making detailed study of learning how to talk intelligently, 50 as to fit themselves for speaking on mat- ters of real importance later on. When debatiug clubs and socleties were first established they were mo- nopolized by boys. The girls did their talking at little sewing circles at each other's homes, but during the last dec- ade the high school girl has allowed her interest in this wordy sport to increase and has taken an active and by no means negligible part in interscholastic dcbates In her own city. The newest and still wider reaching development. of this part that girls are playing in the high school debate world is being featured by the girl decbaters at Central High School of this city. They. as well as the boys of the school, are preparing for an interscholastic de- bate with a team from each of at least two out-of-town tea Mr. Noyes, coach for the school's debate teams, is corresponding with Baltimore Western High School and Harrisburg Central High School on a proposed girls' inter- scholastic debate. Ethel Balley s chairman of the girls' interscholastic debate committee and is holding try- onts every Thursday afterncon. Among the Central sirls who are out for the team are Margaret Sommerville, Ethel Rallay, Yvonne Levy and Grace Lal- lager.

Miss Ryan is also secretary of the Dramatic Society and has been in two Christmas pageants and a style show presented at the school. Until her school work and debating interests occupled her time too fully to allow further activities to enter into her schedule, sha sang mezzo-soprano in the school glee aub. During her first year at the school she played in her class basket ball team, and upon an- ticipating graduation with the two- “year class, she was elected class poet. This versatile girl assisted in the inftiation ceremonies admitting some of the prominent men of Washington to membership in the Osiris Club of Business High School. This public initlation was held at Central High School a short time ago. Miss Ryan says that she may take up the study of law following her graduation from high school, as her mother s very anxious for her to do s0, but she is exceedingly interested in’ journalism and may follow that profession instead. She believes that ! her debate work will help her mate- rially in either profession. The play, “The Taming of the Shrew,” wiil be presented late in April.’ There are only two girls' parts in the play, so that it is a spe- clal honor that Miss Ryan should have secured the role when one con- siders the size of Business Dramatic Soclety and the number of talented girls in it Chocolate Meringue Pie.

WENDOLYN is really an excep- tionally pretty and appropriate name for a young girl, although the constant use of this name for heroines in what is popularly known under the title of “mushy” fiction has tather given the name a suggestion of ridiculous exaggeration. Gwendolyn is generally conceded to:be the Welsh version of the German ‘Theresa, meaning huntress. This would make Gwendolyn an Anglo-Saxon Artemls, Wwith a deer and bow and arrows es her symbolic accompainment. There are, however, other authorities who uggest that Gwendolyn is a form of the name used by the ancient Britons for their goddess of the moon. In the Welsh language “Gwen en- erally interpreted to mean “fair” or “white,” ‘and the swan has been chosen' as the emblem for all girls of this name. The sentimemt attr tuted ‘to Gwendolyn is “beauty pride. Guinevere and Genevieve are two other pretty names that have been closely linked with Gwendolyn by philological authorities, particularly Guinevere. In Tennyson's “Idylls of the King." Queen Guinevere was the wite of King Arthur but had & love aftair with Sir Launcelot, who broke the heart of the beautiful maid of Astolat, Flaine. According to more aclent authors, this queen’'s name was Gwendolyn and she was one of King Arthur's” three wives, The first Gwendolyn concerning whom record has been made, was the daughter of the Duke of Cornwall who conquered her unfalthful hu band in battle and drowned his lady ove. The Welsh people belleyy that their St. Gwendolyn was mother to one of the famous “Knights of the Round Table" and the golden chessboard of Gwendolyn s one of the wonders of:| the British Isles. The legend has it that when the chessmen, which were of silver, were put in their places on the board of gold by Queen Gwen- dolyn, they would play out a game by themselves without further assis- tance. The name Gwendolyn has many quaint manners of spelling. Among the most interesting are Guendolin, Gweyhuyvar, Ganiver. Ganore, van- ora, Nora and Gennife: All-Round Athlete Normal School Pupil \, ISS ALYS EWERS, manager of iVl the basket ball tesm of Wil- son Normal Training School, which has attracted considerable attention even thus early In the basket ball season by its excellent team work, is an all-round athlete, even if she is a regular school teacher all ready. While in high echool, attending Central High of this city, Miss Ewers won a letter in basket ball. Both in high school and at normal school she has engaged in various other athletic activities. including tennis. swim- ming’ goif and horseback riding. Miss Ewers Is now teaching the 2-B grade of school. Her ambition is to continue her studies, however, in spite of her teaching, and eventually to secure a degree from Cornell Uni- versity. Miss Ewers is particularly fond of traveling, and hopes to be able to travel considerably after the next stage of her education has been ac- complished. Flapper Jingles. A fiapper, a flapper.

We hear him quoted on many things, but sel- dom on the national defense. While it doesn’t seem generally known that he wrote enough to make small books on this vital subject, nevertheless, it is the truth. Under the present na- tional defense of our country there is only one Army, divided into three components—the regular establish- ment, the National Guard and the or- ganised reserves. The blunt of the safety of the country rests with the organized reserves, for it is from this component in time of war that officers are drawn. Washington head- quarters of the organized reserves have been opened on the third floor of the Graham bullding, 1ith and E streets northwest, with Maj. John Scott, infantry, U. 8. A., in charge, as oxecutive officer. Great interest is being shown by local reserve officers of the Army'In the completion of reg- iments and other organized reserve units and in preparation for the In struction in the art of warfare. Lo cally, there are more than 1,600 offi cers 'enrolled with the Washington headquarters. Each unit has its own assembly night. The office is open every day from 9 to 4330 o'clock, and ‘every Wednesday evening from 8 to 10. Officets desiring information are urg- ed to drop in at headquirters during these hours. Col. Le Roy Herron, commanding officer of the $1sth Iield Artillery. and the regimental officers hold their assembly on the third Thursday of each month. The 3d Battalion of the 320th Infantry, commanded by Lieut. third Friday, and the 2d Battallon of the 320th helds Its assemblies on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month. This battalion is commanded by Maj. Brooke Lee. The 320th In- fantry Regiment is commanded by Col. Glendie B. Young, who was the regimental commander of the crack 3d District of Columbla Infantry on the Mexican border. Assemblies will be held this month for the Signal Corps and Quarter- |mnnor Corps officers in Washington. The date of the meetings will be an- nounced by MaJ. Scott at a later date. Officers of these two branches of the service should communicate with the Washington headquarters for detall- ed_information. Capt. Willis R. Lansford, command- ing officer of the 80th Signal Com- pany, met Wednesday evening with Maj. Scott and discussed plans for the formation of his company.

To Beautify White Hair. To remove the vellow tinge from white hair and give it that white purity of color which is so betoming to the face Is not a difficult matter. All that is necessary is to pare off the rind from a lemon, squeeze the juice into & cup and fill the cup with boiling water. When It is lukewarm saturate the hair and scalp with this mixture. Tle up the head in a towel for a quarter of an hour to glve time for the bleaching out of the yellow. Care must be taken that none of the rind of the lemon is in the cup, as this will turn the hair yellow. Afterward wash the hair Wwith a pure soap liquid and massage the scalp with the fingers for about ten minutes. Then rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water, and to the last rinsing water, warm, add a very little indigo blue. This will give the hair a beautiful siivery appearance. . Naval Col.

It was the sound made by the quick drawing out of a table drawer. As he stopped he turned slowly. Then he saw every trace of emotion had left Miriam's face.
