WHAT WOMEN DRESS FOR.
One OF Them Says 1t Is Because They
Wish to Please Me,.

VIC VI Ahem says IL Is Because They
Wish to Please Me,.
A group of yong women sat around a
dainty tea table discussing dress and
their waters almost in the same breath,

Drowned maid who had just returned
from summer resort where there were
twcnty-siX girls to three men. ~Al-
though my summer costumes were per-
fectly lovely, l did not thrill over them
once, Tor what was the use of donning
the most becoming frock when there
were no men to be overpowered by the

brown-eyed creature who always looks

That's all very true" argued numb
one, but the influence that men eXer-

sees and judges from the effect pro-
duced. and verdict is passed accord
lngly, whereas the feminine mind IL
often distracted by the choice of color,
material. trimming and style offered;
ana when and where natural good
taste does exist it is frequently domin-
ated by the will of another actuated
by self-interest, and thus good judg-
ment is for the moment overpowered.
Again, the desire to confine expense
within certain limit is another fer
tile source of sacrifice on the altar of
good taste, Still, allowing all this an;
more. the fact remains incontrovertib,e
that a man intuitively knows what
suits woman better than she does
herself"
With convincing air the speaker set
her cup down, gave herself furtive
glance in the mirror and departed to
be seen soon after on Walnut street
looking perfectly radiant as she walked
along quite conscious that the man by
her side regarded her get-up as emf.

A Delightful Theory.

"The strangest invention that ever
came to my notice." said a patent agent
to 2. W., twas that recently brought
out by an old German. His idea is to
build a massive pillar in the center of
the Atlantic ocean and place upon it q
revolving bridge. one end touching Liv-
erpool and the other New York. SO that
people in England desiring to go to New
York could get on mt the Liverpool end
of the dridge. and vice versa.
''By semi-circle turn of the bridge
the passengers will be brought to their
destination.
"When asked him how he could get
the pillar in the ocean, and where the
power would come from to turn such u
structure, he admitted that he had
overlooked it. and when told him fur
Their that there was danger of the ice
in the Arctic regions being an obstruc-
ton TO the turning Of the bridge. he
decided to carry the idea no further"

1t so happened in Korea, near CEN

by his departure from this life, had en-
tailed upon his people the wear OF the

succession followed him, at the respect
i've intervals of three and six years, were
themselves moved down by the unspar-

stricken nation was kept in blanched
attire for continuous period of ten
years. By popular account, at the ter
mination of this protracted mourning,
some wise man whom the occasion pro-
duced suggested that, should the people
again provide themselves with their
many-colored garments worn in happier
times, and the alarming mortality so
recently experienced should again be sui
fered by the royal house, the nation
would have INDUCED in the useless eT-
pense of garments never to be worn. So,
with a view to economy and constant
preparation for DEATHS visitation, the
Koreans became perpetual moufhefs.
