THE HUNDREDTH WOMAN
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
(Copyrisrht, 1924, by Public Ledger Company)
Lyra Graham is to be married
■ to Peter Griswold in three weeks.
■ Thomas Hunter, better known
as Tex, a friend of Mr. Gra
ham’s, is invited to come on for
The festivities preceding the
- wedding. He feels out of place
and thinks Lyra and her friends
extremely artificial, but there is
something about Lyra that in
spite of himself stimulates his
imagination.
CHAPTER XI
Bedtime Confidences
IT was much later, nearly 1
o’clock in fact, and Lyra sat be
fore her dressing table. Her sil
very hair stood out in a nimbus
around her head. She was wrapped
in a negligee of pale pink satin bor
dered with swansdown, and her slim
bare feet were thrust into pink satin
mules. Strange thoughts were crowd
ing up in her. Somehow she could
not regain her usual nonchalance.
That moment of seriousness in the
garden insisted upon intruding upon
her thoughts. She could not for
get that blank feeling of dismay
that had surged up in her when,
for the first time, she thought of
Lhe aftermath of the wedding.
“Strange,” she murmured softly,
half aloud, “that until tonight I
didn’t think beyond the buying of
the ring, and the trousseau, and
* what people would think when I
walked up the aisle in my wonder
ful Lucette wedding dress. But, any
way, it's just as well,” she went on,
trying to reassure hersplf. “And, of
course, everything is all right. Peter
, and I will get on splendidly; we’re
exactly suited to each other. I sup
pose every prospective bride goes
through a time like this when she
■wonders if everything will be all
• right. I m just being foolish about
it.”
A knock sounded at the door, and
Lyra wheeled around in her chair.
"Come in,” she called out clearly,
and the next moment the door open
-1 ed and Cynthia entered.
“Bedtime confidences,” she said
with a laugh, curling up on the
couch drawn up between two large
French windows. “You don’t mind
if I smoke in here, do you, Lyra?”
She was fitting a cigarette into
her onyx holder as she spoke, and
Lyra, looking at her, thought, as she
had many times before, that all of
• Cynthia’s movements were languidly
graceful like the movements of a cat.
Cynthia looked up suddenly and
the eyes of the two girls met. Cyn
thia v laughed that little throaty
laughs of hers, which always vague
ly irritated Lyra It was so arti
ficial, so plainly manufactured, and
yet where men were concerned it
was one of Cynthia’s chief charms.
Tonight there was a little note of
> triumph in it, and her eyes were
more than ever wide and slumber
ous. It was obvious that Cynthia
had something to say, and Lyra won
dered curiously what it waij.
Cynthia was drawing deep breaths
of smoke into her lungs. For a mo
ment or two she did not speak, and
then she said suddenly:
“Well, what you think of Tex
1 Hunter?”
Lyra shrugged her shoulders. “I
don't think about him at all except
ing to wish that dad hadn’t asked
him here just now.”
“I think he's quite fascinating,”
Cynthia said suddenly. “There’s
something about him so different
from the men one meets in our
I crowd. He’s refreshing, and' some
how. real.”
Lyra reached for a buffer and be
gan to polish her already glistening
nails. She had never before actual
ly disliked Cynthia, there had been
no reason why she should, not even
when Cynthia had pursued Peter,
but tonight Lyra wished vaguely
that she had asked some one else to
b« her maid of honor.
“I suppose that means,” she said
>• after a long moment, “that you’re
going to practice jour wiles un a
new victim.”
Cynthia opened her dark eyes
wide.
“Why, Lyra, what a catty re
mark. And anyway, why should it
make any difference to you?”
“It doesn’t,” Lyra returned quick
ly, “only that Mr. Hunter is a great
simple creature who may think
you're in earnest.”
‘ Cynthia shrugged. "Well, what of
it? He’ll have to learn some day.
I'm for all the fun 1 can get out of
life, and from what I know about
men, they’re all able to take care of
themselves Besides, 1 may fall :n
love’ with the man. It would be a
unique experience. Picture me, Ly
ra, on a ranch, but then think of
the cowboys and what a lot of fun
. you could have with them.”
Lyta opened her mouth to speak,
thought better of it, and was silent.
After all, if Cynthia wanted to vamp
Tex Hunter, it was her own affair.
Tex could could probably take care
of himself.
Lyra Graham is to be married
to Peter Griswold in three
weeks. Thomas Hunter, better
known as Tex, a friend of Mr.
‘Graham’s, is invited to come on
for the festivities preceding the
wedding. He feels out of place
and thinks Lyra and her friends
extremely artificial, but there Is
something about Lyra that in
; spite of himself stimulates his
imagination. Cynthia Weston,
Lyra's maid of honor, decides to
ha-ve a flirtation with Tex.
CHAPTER XI!

IYRA went into the city early
. the next morning. Strangely
enough her first thought was
if tljtj fact that she dreaded to meet
Tex Hunter in tne dining room and

THE ATLANTA IKI -U htoiuA JOURNAL
breakfast served on a tray in her
room.
Peter went in on the same train
with her. Cynthia and Corinne
Graves were to meet Lyra at Lu
cette’s later. They were the only
two girls staying at Bridgewaters,
the other five bridesmaids lived eith
er in New York or near enough to
make it easy for them to meet there,
and the dresses were to be tried on
at 11 o'clock.
Lyra had regained all her spirit.
It seemed to Peter that he had nev
er seen her so radiant, but it watt
due, of course, to the fact that ex
citement always stimulated her. She
loved things in a whirl of gayety.
She loved things to happen to her so
fast that she was left no time for
serious thinking.
The day was filled to the brim.
There was the thrill of trying on the
dresses and afterward lunch. Then
there was just time enough to dash
to a matinee, and afterward Peter,
the best man, and several of the
ushers, took the girls to tea.
When Lyra returned home that
evening, Marie, her mother's maid,
had spread the blue and silver
dress out on the bed. It was one of
Lucette’s triumphs, a glamorous
misty thing of tulle with silver
threads. It was made in Directoire
fashion, with a high waistline, and
was very long, showing only the tips
of Lyra’s silver slippers. The dress
was really intended for her trous
seau, but Lyra intended to wear it
just this once to the dinner and
dance that evening.
Dinner was at 7:30, but it was
only 7 when Lyra ran lightly down
Hie stairs. She wanted to superin
tend the decorations, to see that
everything was just right, and as
she stood for a moment in the wide
entrance hall, she nodded her head
approvingly as she glanced about.
Great boughs of trees had been
brought in, and the russet gleam of
autumn leaves was everywhere. Hot
houes chrysanthemums stood about
in tall jars, and the effect was real
ly lovely.
She wandered into the living room,
and as she did so a tall figure in an
ill-fitting dress suit came in through
the French window. In spite of
herself, Lyra started, and a wave of
annoyance swept over her. For the
time being she had forgotten all
about Tex Hunter; she had not ex
pected to see any one down so ear
ly, and the prospect of a tet-a-tete
with him was certainly not pleasant.
For a long moment they stood
staring at each other, and then
Lyra’s lips trembled into a smile.
But the gravity of Tex’s face did
not change. Somehow he knew that
the smile was directed at him, for
he could see that there was nothing
of friendliness about it.
He stumbled on a rug, recovered
himself, and stood where he was,
abashed and silent.
It was then that Lyra spoke.
“How do you like the decora
tions?” she asked lightly. Laughter
trembled in her tones. It stung him
to anger, but left him impotent to
do anything about it. Against her
poisoned barbs he was helpless and
he knew it only too well.
“You must tell me something
about your life out west,” Lyra went
on lightly. “I suppose all this prelim
inary business seems quite unneces
sary to you, doesn’t it, Mr. Hunter’
Is it really true that out in the
great open spaces, where men are
men, a man rnerelj' throws a wom
an over his horse and rides off with
her?”
He threw back his head suddenly,
his eyes blazing. For a moment
they stood there motionless, meas
uring each other, and then, with two
strides, he was across the room. For
once she would realize that she had
gone too far, for justthis once he
would dominate her by bis strength,
he would make her pay for the way
she had treated him.

FORKS DEMEO PLEA
TOKILLTESTIW
OF ELISS MOSfflEfi
CHICAGO. Dec. 15.—(8y the Asso
ciated Press.) —Federal Judge George
A. Carpenter today denied a <i< ense
motion in the Forbes-Thompson con
splracy trial, to strike out the entire
testimony of Elias H. Mortimer,
chief government witness.
A petition by counsel for J. W.
Thompson. Chicago contractor, for
the.examination of Mortimer’s seven
tla.vs of testimony was not permitted
to go into the record after it had
been read bj’ the court.
“1 am unwilling,” said Judge Car-
I enter in rejecting ihe plea, “that
even the .spurring of defense eminsd
shall drive me to prejudice in this
case. '
Edward C. Stockdale. Washington
representative of the Sumner Solicit
Construction company, in 1922, who
followed Mortimer as a witness, told
of a visit to Forbes’ office in search
of hospital work for his firm, lie
was told the projects had not yet
been authorized by congress.
A few days later, he testified,
Mortimer came to him to say that
if he wanted to do an.v business at
the veterans’ bureau it would have
to be done through Mortimer.
Stockdale said he called Forbes
to his hotel some time after Mor
timers statement and asked the di
rector if it would be necessary to
work through Mortimer.
“Forbes said everything was off
between himself and Mortimer,” the
witness said.
John B. Milliken, a head clerk in
the war risk insurance division of
the veterans' bureau under Forbes,
told of traveling from Washington
to Chicago with Forbes anil Mr. and
Mrs. Mortimer at the beginning of
tlie western inspection trip on which
Mortimer testified he gave Forbes
§5.000.
Milliken said he had not seen
Thompson in the hotel room in Chi
cago in which Mortimer testified he
paid Forbes the $5,000 a few
minutes after Thompson turned the
amount over to him.

1 lb. brown (light) sugar.
4 tablespoons water.
1 cup broken nut meats.
1 teaspoon vanilla.
Stir water and sugar together, let

takes about four minutes to cook.
When mixture reaches bubbling

greased marble or platter.
Ophelia:
Sorry but the rules forbid my se
curing either positions or places

Jessye:
A gift to a man, unless kin or
prospective husband, should be of
small intrinsic value. Good taste and
thought counts most.
Mother:
I know just how you feel, but if
you can’t afford new dolls a cleaning
up of the old ones, and a few new
clothes for the old friends, makes
a mighty happy Christmas.

You can safely give a bottle of

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
A Stfoii£ Talk to the Girl iti Love'
(With Her Married Employer—ls
the Mother Happier Than the
Childless Wife?—Shall She
Try Matrimony for the
Fourth 'l ime?
DEAR MISS DIN—For the last
two years I have been wildly
in love with my employer, who
is a married man with four chil
dren. I think lie is just as much
in love with
ne, because he is
always calling
me into his pri
vate office and
making love to
me and kissing
me. In a few
weeks from now
the firm is
sending him to
another city and
he wants me to
go with him.
■Would you ad
' > vise me to go
! with him? He
is the only man
r
gat -
K
I. ever loved, or over will love, and
to be separated from him would al
most Rill me. LOVESICK.
Answer:
There really ought to be a nice
padded cell whore a girl who is con
templating doing such an insane
thing as you are could be locked
up until she had time to think it
all over and recover her sanity. Any
cne who has so completely taken
leave of her senses is a menace to
society and a danger to herself,
and she should be forcibly restrained
from committing moral suicide.
I suppose there is no use in preach
ing to a girl who is having a love
affair with a married man, for the
woman who can calmly contemplate
breaking up a home, robbing a wife
of her husband and orphaning lit
tle children has drugged her con
science beyond the power of any
words to awaken it. She is an ut
ter egotist, determined to take wnat
she wants at any cost to others, and
so I appeal only to her selfishness.
So consider the case entirely from
your own standpoint and ask your
self what you are to gain beyond the
gratification of the passion of a day,
or week, or month by following your
wicked love.
This man for whom you are ready
to throw your cap over the wind
mill does rat offer you marriage. He
cannot marry you. He cannot give
you a decent place in* society. He
asks you to go away with him and
leave behind your good name, the
respect of your friends, your puritj'
and honor, all that makes life worth
living for a woman.
In this city to which he proposes
to take you, you will become one of
those women who live under a false
name, in littie apartments in ques
tionable streets. You' will become sis
tet to the women from whom you
used to draw away your skirts and
you will live in deadly, nerve-racking
fear of your lover leaving you :.nd
going back to his wife or some other
woman. And when he does leave
you, as he will in time, you wil.
sing into the gutter.
You will never know one minute’s
happiness, because no happiness is
built on the misery of others. You
will never trust him, because you
know that the man who is faithless
to his wife will he true to no woman.
Don't you think that is a pretty
high price to pay for a little lurid
romance under the ro.se?
Don’t go with your married lover.
Cure yourself of loving him by think
ing what a contemptible cad he is to
be willing to ruin jour life for his
own pleasure.
DEAR MISS DlN—Why is it that

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS
( LIMBING UPWARD
By William I). Upshaw
It was morning's dawn, and standing
Far down in the vale below,
A youth with noble purpose
Looked up at the golden glow
Os the mountain height in grandeur i
Kissed by the rising beams
Os the comin gusn in glory
And it stirred his boyish dreams!
“I will climb to it's lofty summit —
I will stand on that shining height.” |
And it nerved his arm to labor
And filled his soul with light.
But the path was rough and flinty
And the way seemed dark and long, ■
And the night oft hid the sunlight '
And hushed his heart and song;
But he kept climbing upward,
With prayer and love and hope,
Till in life's eve he conquered-? ■
And stood where the portals ope
To a sweeter, fairer blessing
Than had been his “beacon light”—
And he knew the joy of climbing
From the vale to mountain height!
Did you ever know a more beauti- j
ful December? I can almost think
that I am in Florida instead of away I
up here in the very northern part of |
Alabama. The little really cold
weather that we have had has been
a clean, clear cold. It is all that I
can do to keep from counting the
days till spring shall come. When ‘
the rebellious spirit comes to me I
try tn remember the little poem of
Riley's and saj’ to myself, “If it
rains, then rain is best.” But this '
is one of the muddy corners, and it
is not a pleasure to be enveloped
In mud, the sticky kind that will not
be scraped off.

"rubbing it in ’ to those without chil
dren? They lake a delight in tell
ing you what a mistake you are mak
ing and how sorry you will be in
later yens if you tire childless. My
husband and I are ver.y happily mar
ried. We are everything to each
other, but I am beginning to wonder
if it is a mistake so rus not to have a
family. We do not miss children
now. but how will we feel about, it
20 years from now? Do you think
that children add to one's happiness
in later years?
THE BEST EVER.
Answer:
To give life is as great a. responsi
bility as to take life. Greater, 1
often think, because the agony of
death is just for a moment, where
as the suffering of life may last
through many years. I do not be
lieve that any one has a right' to
bring a child into the world who
cannot give it a good heritage of
clean, healthy blood and assure it of
adequate care in its childhood. But
certain]j’ it is right and proper that
healthy, normal people, able to care
for their children, should pass on]
the torch of life.
As to children adding to people’s
happiness and being a blessing to
them it their old age, there is no
doubt about that, provided the par
rnts rear them proper!”. For wheth
er children are a crown of glory or
a heart-breaking sorrow depends al
together and entirely upon the way
they are brought up.
You will find, Best Ever, as you and
your huslw.nd grow older, that your
interest in many things will begin to
pall and that you will see life through
rather bored eyes unless you look at
it through the eyes of your chil
dren.
In your boys and girls you are re
born. Eaby hands are the magic
touch that makes even nursery
games exciting once more. Your own
schoolboys and girls make college
debates more important to you than
sessions of congress, and when your
girls begin having beaux and your
bc?’s are on the football team you
taste again the freshness of romance
and adventure. Life is just one ex
citing thing after another to peo
ple who lave children and grand
children.
And when you grow very old and
one or the other of you dies, lonelj’
indeed will be the other who has no
daughter to comfort him or her, no
strong son to lean upon.
Children are a lot of trouble, they
are a locos anxiety end expense, but
they are the best investment that
any couple can make.
DEAR MISS DIN—I am 37 years'
of age and three times a widow. 1
have three sons. The oldest one, 17
years old, has been committed to a
reform school.
I am in love with a young man
26 years old who suffers from neuras
thenia. He loves me and wants
to marry me, but his relatives are
strongl.v opposed to our marriage.
What do you advise me to do?
A. B. C.
Answer:
Well, A. B, C., you certainly are
a glutton for trouble. I should think
that any woman who had been mar
ried three times and had a son ’n
the reform school would have had
sorrow and worry enough, and would
be glad to live peacefully and quiet
lj- the balance ofjher life.
But you are evidently out on a
still hunt for further aff!ictions;'and,
take it from me, you will get then,
if you marry a neurasthenic. For a
neurasthenic is an incarnation of all
the temper, and irritability, and un.
reason, and cantankerousness, and
general cussedness in the world. He
has every disability of every known
variety of husband bunched into one.
And neurasthenics don’t die. I’ltej'
kill the people who live with them.

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Danger of Apathy Over Weevil
Situation
J. W. P., Millen, Ga., writes:
I wish to ask why so much
propaganda about calcium arse
nate. Had we not used any at
all the chances are we would
have made a million bales less
or twelve millions; as it is we
are making thirteen million. The
most of the cotton sold here this
year for 20 cents or less. Had
we made only twelve million
hales, we could have sold it for
30 cents. The more money we
spend for poison, the less we get
for cotton. What is the best
fertilizer for peanuts on sandy
land?
There is no propaganda being dis
tributed with reference to calcium
arsenate. One of the largest seed
crops of weevils that has ever gone
into hibernation is now safely pro
tected against the freezes of the
winter season. We have done our
best to induce our farmers to rip
up the cotton stalks and bury them.
They believe because we had a dry
season and made a good crop of cot
ton without the use of much
poison, or no poisoning at all'
in some instances, that the
weevil has passed on and
will not be in evidence in our midst
next year. This is one of the most
foolish conclusions our farmers have
ever reached, because the weevil
will in all probability do us very
great damage next year. It is quite
possible that we will have another
dry season; but if we have an abun
dance of rain in July and August,
which is the rule rather than the ex
ception during the summer months,
the chances are that many of our
farmers will find their cotton eaten
up and destroyed by the weevil. We
are trying to induce our people to
get in shape to protect their cot
ton crop against the ravages of the
boll weevil in 1925. It is our duty
and responsibility to do this, and
we should have the good-will and a ■-
five support of every constructive
citizen in so worthj- an undertak
ing.
I agree fully with you that the
price of cotton is manipulated. I
think this is a shame and an out
rage. The price of cotton, however,
can never be stabilized until our
farmers form some sort of co-opera
tive organization and are able to
withhold the lint from the market
until it commands a fair price. This
policj’ has been followed by every
type of industry in the world' ex
cept that of agriculture, and our
farmers must resort to this means
of protecting themselves. It will
call for education and the exercise
of a spirit of co-operation among our
farmers not hitherto evidenced; hut
the time has arrived when we must
get over the obstacles in the way
of stabilizing our agriculture and
putting it on a profitable basis.
Land which is devoted io peanuts
should he limed. Use a ton of raw,
crushed limestone rock. In addition,
apply about three hundred pounds
of acid phosphate and at least one
hundred pounds of manure salts.
How Chemistry Effects Cotton
Improvement
M. M-., Augusta, Ga., writes:
I would like for you to give me
all the information you can on
lhe relation of chemistry to the
cotton industry.
There is a very definite relation
between chemistry and the progress
of our cotion industry. As you
doubtless know, very elaborate and
complete analyses have been made
of all parts of the cotton plant from
time to time during the various
stages of its growth and develop
ment. This work was undertaken to
determine the amount and kind of
plant food required by the plant at
various stages of its growth. Natu
rally, with this information in hand,
it is easy to adapt the fertilizers used
under the plant more nearly to its
needs and so stimulate and maintain
its growth as a result thereof. Os
course in producing cotton, it is im
portant for us to discover what ele
ments the soil contains which the
plant needs. Also the amount of
these elements, and, where they are
present in sufficient quantity, to
meet the requirements of a growing
cotton plant.

is to supply his soil with the main
elements in which it may be defi
cient. For instance, we find that
applications of lime sometimes ap
pear to benefit cotton, It is a well
known fact that a complete fertilizer
formula containing nitrogen, phos
phoric acid, and potash, stimulates
the growth of the cotton plant. In
the ease of sandy soils, it is neces
sary to use a formula containing 10
per cent phosphoric acid, 4 per cent
nitrogen and 4 per cent potash. On
heavier soils, a 9-3-3 may answer
very well, and, in some sections, an
8-3-3 or an 8-3-2 can be used with
advantage.
Chemistrj - plays an important part
therefore in the improvement of cot
ton. The experiments made here at
the college for instance show that
the content of oil and nitrogen in
the seed of cotton developed from
different plants varies greatly. By
analyzing the seed thereof we are
able to determine from which type
of plant to select seed in order to
increase the content of oil and nitro
gen. The fiber of cotton varies in
size, length, strength, and general
character. A microscopic examina
tion of the fibers and their analyses
help materially therefore in deter
mining from which plants seed
should be selected for general plant
ing. It was through the co-ordina
tion of the agencies indicated above
that we have been able to establish
and develop a very superior variety
.of cotton, known as College No. 1,
and which is now being grown on
such an extensive basis in a number
of communities located throughout
Georgia.
