EMBERS Adele Garrison's Absorbing Sequel To “Revelations of a Wife” Beginning a New Serial Jatie Takes Charge of the ‘Pirate { Steak” Cevemony T laughed 'at Lillian's prediction of the stuffed, torpid condition which would be the lot of all the partakers of the ‘“pirate steak™ dinner which was to be the chief feature of our beach party. But I knew that her prophecy was not & greatly exaggerated one, and that the members of the animated group who had begun the day's enjoyment by swimming, canoeing and lunch- ing at the bay, and who had then driven to our favorite camping place upon the ocean beach, would be vallant trenchmen at the camp dinner, which our family at least consider the most appetizing of all qutdoor meals. “The spot to which we brought our guests is a wide stretch of wonder- ful white sandy beach with curving high dunes at the back and aides, making an ideal shelter. It is so far from the bathing beaches and the beaten track that we are almost al- ‘ways assured of privacy and in the lee of one of the dunes we have piled stones and bricks for use in our outdoor cookery. Katie, with the tremendous re- sponaibility of her office as director of the feast heavy upon her, gave the pile of stones an anxious inspec- tion when we reached the spot. “Goot ting I brought me some ex- tra bricks,” she muttered. “Some geot for noting hoonch soup greens steal some of dese.” No one ventured to dispute her, although we were amusedly skepti- cal of her accusation of theft of the worthless bricks and stones. But those of us who have partaken of the pirate steaks which Katie, with id of “dot Jeem,” her good- natured patient, and wonderfully ef- ficient husband, had served to us, A Discassion in the Oid Orchara Discusslon ne'er should be forbia- den; It often brings out facts long hidden. ~—Old Mother Nature The breakfast hour in the Old Orchard being over, there was a lot of gomsiping among the feathered folk, and this soon became a discus- sion. It all came about through thet sudden fright Roughleg the Hawk had given the feathered folk. Speckles the Starling started it “That was & narrow escape we had,” sald Bpecklea. “Escape nothing!’ exclaimed Tom- my Tit the Chickadee. “What do you think you escaped from?" “Why, from that big hawk, of cotirse, stupid!” replied Speckles. ¢Fm not stupid and we didn’t escape from that big hawk. was't looking for us’” retorted Tommy Tit. “Then What did you hide in that | honge for?” demanded Yank Yank the Nuthatch. “Because 1 didn't know 1t was Roughleg,” retorted Tommy prompt- ly. “My mother taught me to hide first and investigate later. The one | who stops to investigate first may never have a chance to hide.” “That's 80,” replied Sammy Jay, nodding his head sagely. “That's very good rule. T am inclined obey that rule myself. Tommy Tit is right about Roughleg. There are hawks and hawks 1 don’t like any of the family hecause of what some of the fam- ily do. But Roughleg is what I call a good hawk.

One of the classes where mothers study beside their chiliren is pictured above, with Fdna Dean Bakes, school president, lns'c(. Evanston, Ill,, Feb. 23 — One of the most unusual scheols in the world is the National Kindergarten and Elementary College here, where mothers attend school with their children. Of the 160 children, ranging in age from 2 to 9 years, who attend, about one-third are accompanied by their mothers. The mothers them- selves are young, very - few being over 30, and most of them college graduates. Edna Dean Baker is president. of the school, and is assisted by-eight teachers, specialists in various flelds. “Heretofore child study has been confined ‘only to advancing theories, but here study is made of the child itself,” says Miss Baker. ‘While the children acquire the habits and attitudes that have been carefully worked out by child spe- clalists, their mothers make a scien- tific study of why Johnny threw his cereal on the floor this morning, how Mary can be cured of sucking her thumb, and the bhest way of teach- ing little Jerry not to pocket other people’s belongings. ‘The course for the mothers’ class includes a study of the general prin- WHITHER GOES FEMINISM? - 11 FOREMOST WOMEN TELL OF FARR SEX'S ACTIVITY New York, Feb. 23.—How are American women exercising today the *“equal rights” for which they were 8o strenuously fighting a dec- ade ago? What have their organiza- tions accomplished: civics, sch- ence, politics, art? Whither goes feminism ? It was to these and other ques- tiona of concern to very one inter- ested in the future of America and of the world that answers were sought from leading feminists gath- ered here some time ago for the bi- ennial convention of the National Council of Women. And here, as representative of the opinfon of ten million women, are the replies of eleven of them, writ- ten in their own words exclusively for The Herald. Miss Lena Phillips, president of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs: “More and more, scparate clubs and national organizations are uniting upon projects of common intereat.

Tingey, Mormon presideat of the Yound Ladies’ Mu- tual Improvement Aasociation: “Women's cluhs are the intellec- tual fertilizer of American home life.

Educators will continue working for education. medical folk, like myaelf, for health, and so on. Women's clubs will have the same ally.” Dr. Valeria M. Parker, president of the National Council of Women: “Gone are the days of woman's handicaps—educational, social, pro- fessional and even sartorial. Wo should now forget ourselves and our past handicaps and accept the re- aponsibilitiea given us by our un- precedented freedom and prosperity to contribute to the promotion world civilization. Gone, too, are the days of segregation of women. Women's clubs now are planning programs to deepen women’s inter- ests in civic affairs and public ser ice, slongside of men. By their po erful organizations, women of all faiths, many races and widely di- verse interests, now work in cone cert for measures that affect the protcction of human welfare and interests. They are grown-up and out mel ready action.” Miss Belle Sherwin, the National league Voters: “Women ‘are not yit to work in mixed civic gro De spite their much talked-of freedom and equality, they should work alone until they understand fully their power and their weaknesses. The exceptional woman of today should give other women the ad- vantage of her intelligence and leadership, working with fthem in women's clubs, Instead of being buried in politics.’ president of of Women ready Mrx. Frank Shuler, co-anthor with Carrin Chapman Catt of “History of Woman Suffrage”: Women have feared being too ac tive, fearing disapproval by their husbandas, fathers and &0 on. Now they are developing confidence and can stand together, now, as =0 many people, forgetting their gex.” Mrx. John D. Sherman, president of the General Federation of Wo- men's Clubs: “Women's clubs have hacked practically every movement for the improvement of conditions in their citics and country. They are, there- fore, indispensible to the life of their communities. By gradually learning more of basic aspects of government, women wi' be ready to work with men on all questions. They are taking up civic atters, cducation and industrial reform in increasing numbera. Miss Mary Garrett Hay, eminent feminist: Women’'s clubs have graduated from the seminary-education class out into the world of co-operation with men.
