THE WOMAN OF TWENTY-ONE BY CLYDE CALLISTER. i One of the most remarkable works of imagination ever produced by a woman was written by Mary Woll- stonecraft Shelley when she was barely 21. As the young wife of the poet Shelley, she was sojourning in Switzerland. Lord Byron was one of the company, and it was suggested that each should write a tale deal- ing with the supernatural. As her contribution to this contest the youthful Mrs. Shelley wrote “Frank- enstein,” the story of a man deeply versed in science who succeeds in building up and vitalizing an adult man. This unnatural creature turns out to be a sort of super-criminal who devotes himself to tormenting his creator. This tale still remains one of the most gruesome in the language, and the most remarkable thing about it is that it was the work of this inexperienced young woman. Several of the world’'s greatest singers have made their debuts at 21 and many critics feel that there is great advantage to be gained by deferring the beginning of an oper- atic career until this time. The oper- atic star who begins earlier than this curtails the years of her studies and puts a tremendous strain upon her voice before it has become ma- ture. Among presidential were Carolina Scott, first wife of Benjamin Harrison; Lucy Webb, wife of President Haves, and Sarah Childress, wife of President Polk. The first Mrs. Harrison had the dis- tinction of being the first president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Of Lucy Webb Hayes, wife of the ninteenth Presi- dent, it is remembered that she objected to having wine seérved in the White House—and had her way about it, too. arah Childress, who married James Polk, eleventh Pres dent of the United States, was even more austere in her position as First Lady of the Land; not only did she forbid drinking within the White House but banned dancing as well. Emma Eames was one of the world’s great singers who seems to have been in no undue haste to make her debut. Christine Nilsson, a noted Swedish soprano opera -singer, was another who made her debut at 21. That is, she was 21 when she was heard first in Paris, but it was not until she was 24 that she was heard in this country. brides of 21 WEDLOCKED BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. Nan Hartley, an artist’s model, chooses between Martin Lee, a rich man, and Tom Eiliott, @ poor artist. After the wedding she goes on posing in order to augment their finances. Bhe is frail, however, and during the hot days of July her strength gives way. Then she discovers that she is to have & baby. Helen Sheridan, a wealthy woman Nan has met through posing, invites her to a seashore for a brief wvacation. There she meets Martin Lee again. He stills cares for her. She returns to the city and in the Fall Tom takes a terrible cold and dies of pneumonia. During Tom’s ill- mess Martin Lee calls one evening, and, losing control of himself, seizes Nan in his arms and kisses her. Tom dies that night. Afterward life is just one succession of gray days for Nan until she realizes that she must carry on. Bhe has mo money. On a cold Winter day she goes to pose for Mal- colm 8t. Clair and faints. CHAPTER XXIII Martin Again. When she came to she was lying on the big couch and Malcolm was bending over her. - A look of relief chased the worry grom his face. “Feeling better now?” 'Yes,” with a very faint smile. 'I'm sorry I didn’t ask you to rest; it was thoughtless of me. But I didn’t know you had been working so long, it seemed only about ten minutes.” He was right. It had been only ten minutes, but the pose had been diffi- cult, and in her condition she hadn't been strong enough to hold it. “It was stupid of me,” she returned, trying to smile. “I've never done such a thing before. He was looking down at her. The clear light from the north skylight overhead beat full on her delicate, childish face. In a moment Malcolm St. Clair knew the- truth. He said nothing, however, knowing that she would prefer him not to. After a time she struggled up, run- ning slim nervous fingers through her hair. “I'm ready now.” But she found him cleaning his brushes in turpentine and scraping his palette. She clasped her hands together. Quick fear made her knees sag under her. Fear of being ill and having no one to take care of her. She had a vision of a charity ward in a hospital. They would come and get her. She would be rolled in a blanket and car- ried down the steps of the apartment she and Tom had shared for the last time. She began to cry. Malcolm patted her awkwardly. He was kindly enough, but he had a cer- tain amount of work to ‘do each day, and without tools, how he going to proceed. couldn’t do the work some one else could. But it made him nervous to have models fainting about the place, no matter how beautiful they were. “There, there, everything will be all right.” He gave her $10 and calied the door- man to get a taxl. As she drove home to her solitary apartment, Nan cried all the way. What was she going to do? She hadn't known ghe was going to faint and do things like that. She had thought to keep on posing for quite a whilé so that she could save money against the great event. Now she might just as well be a cripple. In her emotion she overtipped the taxi driver shamefully, but when he looked from his palm to the tear-stain- ed young face, his heart misgave him. *“'This is too much, lady.” From the mneighborhood, he knew she didn’t have it to give. She knew that she had unintention- ally overtipped him, and with a smile she accepted the money. He was rather a “hard-boiled guy,” but he carried the memory of her face around some kind, too. Bet it was none of her making. No, she wasn’t the kind of woman to make throuble for a man.” He got quite sentimental over her as he drove through the windy streets. Once inside’ the outer door, Nan rested a moment, her back leaning against it. The hall wasn’t warm, but compared with the temperature out- side, it was Heaven. She drew several long breaths, and then, slowly, wearily, AS SHE CAME TO HER OWN FLIGHT OF STAIRS SHE SAW THAT A MAN WAS SITTING ON THE TOP STEP. she began to climb the stairs, fumbling in her bag as went, It was always an effort to return. As soon as possible she must give up the apartment and get a tiny place for herself. Looking ahead was ter- rifying. She hadn’t an idea In the world how she was going to manage. How could she take e of a baby and go out to work at the same time? Dr, Farr told her not to worry. But that was foolish. How could she do anything else but worry? Terror shut in on her sometimes in waves of smothering blackness. Every time she heard the clang of an ambulance she turned cold and felt a faintness. But she did not try to think—all the time. A whiff of tobacco drifted to her nostrils, and then as she came to her own flight of stairs she saw that a man w sitting on the top step. It was Martin Lee. Once more she felt like fainting, but she fought it back. But she did lean against the banisters a moment till the weakness passed, and in the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

How rediculous, too, sitting here in the dark. They must have some light. She struggled to her feet, wavered for a moment, and then, for the second time that day, fainted. ‘When she came to herself she was Iying on the cough. In some miracu- lous- fashion Martin Lee had sum- moned the janitor, who was almost never there when one wanted him. He was kindling a fire in the grate. The couch had been moved over be- fore it. Martin Lee was at the telephone. From a great distance she heard him speak. It must be wonderful to have money and power and have what- ever you wanted.

Temperament is only emotion that has taken root and is sitting pretty in your mind. Get temperament, but don't let it get you. Temperament gives warmth and color 4o a person's life, and that's why artists are supposed to be tem- peramental and then some. If they are genuine painters and musicians, they have something more than long hair on their minds. They have the temperamental pep which enables them to make a drab canvas glorious and a silent piano rattle as though there were a mechanical plano inside the works. The trouble with many people who are as temperamental as a Pekingese pup is that they let their emotional qualifications stand in their way. Here's a girl who can play the plano pretty well, but when you ask her to perform and punish Chopin, she pouts and complains that she hasn't brought Ber music with her. Or here is a young dame who can sing, even when she can't make her voice earn enough to buy her cough drops. When the hostess invites her to sing for the company, she com- plains that she has a cold or is out of practice. People like that have tem- perament, but it's working the wrong way. It's pulling them back instead of pushing them ahead. It's like the brakes on a car instead of the gus. Positive temperament, even when it makes a person hard to get along with, is a good thing. An actor who doesn't have it is only a puppet and is good for nothing but a minor part in “Punch and Judy.” A business man who isn't sufficiently tempera- mental wijj see the other fellow walk away with the goods. ‘When it comes to the relations be- tween the sexes, it's judicious tem- perament that makes the people who charm. The man who hasn’t tempera- ment to express when in the presence of a pretty girl will have nothing to show ‘except his flashy necktie. Usually it isn't necessary to tell girls they ought to cultivate tempera- ment, for they come by it naturally. It is as common with them as the famous high school complexion. The more usual message to the average girl is that of sense, which she is sup- posed to need. But, just the same, there is plenty of room for the temperamental touch in a girl's life, and she’ll profit by emphasizing it, provided she can use it the way she uses her cold cream, and lay it on evenly. ‘What a girl needs is to make emo- tional nature count. If her feelings make her fussy and peevish, she’s using her temperament backward. Instead of charming by the proper dis- play of well chosen emotion, she's giv- ing people the wriggly feeling.
