HOBBIES or uacrelons.
What one woman Thinks She Knows
About Unmarried Men.

what Ono woman THINKS Shc Ano"@
About Unmarried Men,
One woman who writes thinks that
the men have as many fads as women.
She feels convinced that the fancy for
the left hind foot of a rabbit, for certain
kinds OF caramels and soda water, for
peculiar pets and orchids, for col
lection OF odd pillows, and another OF
curious ornaments is offset by the
masculine fancies pertaining TO their
sex or to the individuals among the
gentler sex whom they happen u
fancy.
The girl with brothers, she declares
Is apt TO know more about male weak
nesscs than less favored members of hcr
sex. She finds considerable difficulty
In regarding any young man as q hero
and when occasion offers she is by nc
means averse 10 speaking her mind
freely about the male sex In general.
At recent "dove" luncheon the con-
yersation turned on hobbies, one or
two OF the girls expressing the opinion
that the sex 10 which they belonged ran
roo much to that sort of thing. Prompt
dissent from this view was uttered by
girl who has three brothers. She
said:
"We girls get credit for an awful lot
OF faddishness. but / don't believe we
nre any more given 10 riding hobbies
than men are"
Somebody inquired: "Whaf kind OF
fads do you think men foster?"
"Oh," answered the sister of three
brothers. "rcal foolish fnncies. For
instance, have college friend who
has panel hung in one cor1er OF his
room. and on IL he fastens al the half
worn slippers he can collect from girls.
Such curiosity that slipper hook of
his is! or course, he doesn't label the
shoes; that would be altogether TOO
public But the odds and ends OF foot
gear he has collected would stock Il
shoe chest. Funniest part of this col
lection is the man who owns IL boasts
that he has in turn adored rap;urous-
ly the various owners of the different
slippers.
"Similar TO this fad is the one OF Sc
curing gloves. Several of my brothers
friends have gone Systematically to
work TO get together as many suede,
6ogslxin and dressed gloves as they
| could beg. borrow or steal from the
girls of their acquaintance. Handker-
chief collections have always been fad,
/ fancy, with masculinity.
"Some young men keep stock OF
sticIpins on hand, and that reminds
me OF the pickle stickpin collection
got a certain faddish young man into.
| This particular youth collected college
| pins from all the girls he knew who
were attending higher education As
a result he could display quite an as
sortment Of enameled stickpins. He
| plastered them over the lapel OF his
coat. He used TO wear them as senti-
mental trophies, much as an Indian
would dangle scalps from his belt. One
day a sticlpin collector was to escort
his very best girl 10 foot ball game.
and the stickpin array confronting him
on his coat front he hastily removed all
but the one the best girl had given
him, fastening the others underneath
his collar. The course Of true love ran
smoothly that day, until the thought
less pin collector turned his coat collar
up about his ears. Then those many col
orcd college pins told their tale. lie and
his best girl have parted company now,
hut the youth still collects college stick
! pins. Talk aboutfads, though, the sliclest
one know of Is ruin for all IL is worth
by man who has what he calls a
souvenir hairpin book He has gotten
an ordinary scrapbook and bound II
with white linen, on which Is water
color sketch of girls head. with flow
ing locks and lot OF loose hairpins
scattered about. Inside of this book you
viii find hairpins of every shape and
size. They are fastened 60 the pages by
means of little slips OF paper pasted
across the center OF them. There sre
initials under each one. Unless you
could see this book you have no idea
how much romance can Turk about q
hairpin. How does he get them Well
don't know. have seen tho book, but
/ don't by any means pretend to know
the inside history OF its creation."-
