WOMAN 5 WORLD

II ought to be easy enough, says Dorothy
nix in the New orleans Picayune, 10 put
ourselves in other women's places, and do
rs we would be done by, seeing we all
want the same things and have the same
s~ievances. but when we really do il the
millennium will be in sight. Just consid-
or. for instance, if you were hostess how
YOU would like a girl who apparently
,bougbi that you gave entertainments for
no other purpose than 10 furnish her with
picturesque background for her Irritation,
and who was sulky and dull when routed
out from behind the palms? If you were
an elderly lady what would you think of
a girl who took no pains TO hide the iact
that she was bored to death by having TO
spend few minutes in your company! If
Won were a married woman, how would
YOU like for pretty, young girl TO try TO
get up Irritation with your husband and
ridicule you for being jealous when You
resented it? If you were homely gill,
would you enjoy having a popular girl
spend the time recounting her uiumphs
and what this man said and the other man
thought, and how box parties,a and candy
and flowers were lavished upon her? You
know very we'll that you would get tired
of it very quickly We may do many OF
these things thoughtlessly, but no one is
dun when it comes 10 their own feelings,
and when in doubt about any line Of con-
duct safe guide is to make a personal
test If it would be unpleasant to us we
may be pretty sure it would be to other
people.
Then. for goodness sake put yourself IN
the place of the average young man, and
refrain from limiting. Try to remember
that his entire salary for a month would
not pay for one of your silk-lined frocks,
and out of that he has got to sett,a with
his landlady and washwoman, and that it
doesn't allow any margin over for extras.
Every time you inyeigle him into sending
YOU violets or candy or roses you are send
ing him TO the lunch counter or into debt.
There is a general theory that every man
is a millionaire, and has money to burn.
Nothing is so far from the truth. We
can count all the rich men in town by
name, and there is something infioitely pitt
iful in the way so many girls force man
either to spend money on them or seem
mean. When a man is in love with a
girl, and wants to please her, il takes the
courage of a hero for him TO have enough
determination to resist her hints, ana
many a man makes his first start on the
downward road of dishonesty to crafty
his sweetheart's silly desire to be able to
brag about presents her best beau sent
her. Put yourself in a mans place, gins,
and think of how much more respect he
must have for a girl who VIII nos him,
and how hpartfaltlV grateful ne rn11-t IA
to one who will not receive any kind of a
present.

Parents are frequently responsible for

Fathers and mothers need not be hus-

heartily and eheerfully into the lives of
their girls at this. stage of their career as
well as any other. Many a young woman
has been deprived of social life because of
the indifference or open inhospitality of
her parents to her friends.
The father who selfshly seeks his own
comfort and enjoyment, burying himself
in a book or paper when his daughters

lasting wrong than neglect of some of their
personal wants in their earlier years would
have entailed.
Nor does their duty end in Willingness
to receive and entertain IN a cordial way

IL II be that there are not young men and
women in their neighborhood with whom
their daughters can associate il is their
munity furnishing the necessary elements

for much less important reasons; they sell

lence is done to any right feeling II parents
have the distinct aim in such a move Of
taking their daughters into the society of
young men as Wen as young women of con-
genial tastes. Sensible people nowadays
know that Mrs Thornburg is right when
she says, aprppos Of matches: 1T Is pro-
pinquity that does it." 1t is their right
that young women should have the oppor-

l had been a sufferer for fifteen years

to gall stones. He relieved me for short
time, and then there was a hard lump about

right side. It became so sore could

doctors in town and they said medicine

Do you know why it is that the fashiona-
BILE woman looks as young and rosy at so
as the questionable woman generally
looks at 30?, 1t is because she takes care of
herself The questionable woman gets her
beauty sleep every night and never dissi-
pates in the matter of balls and little sup
pers prepared over the blazer while the
rest of the world is asleep. She eats her
three meals a day and at just the proper
hours. Everything on her table is whole
some and intended to keep her skin rosy
and her little body fissome She thinks It
almost immoral to clog the pores of the
skin with powder and pomade, and she
believes in nature absolutely. AND Just
there is the difference. The fashionable
woman-or the woman of the world, IL you
choose, for the fashionable woman is
hardly broad enough term for the wo-
man who is always young at 50-believes
IN art. She knows that nature is a wonder
ful restorative but she has infinitely more
faith in art and science. When the wrin-
kles begin TO come the fashionable woman
knows OF pomades and masseurs. She has
found that the Turkish bath will do more
towards making her eyes iustrous and her
skin clear than all the ten-hour sleep and
le-wheat-bread remedies in the world
She wears corsets-snug ones, too-but
they are corsets that fit the figure and do
not grip 1t in a cast-iron wise, and she
hangs her skirts from the hips But she
can dance all night and be as fresh and
rosy next day as if she had never seen the

the promoters decided to give three

pose.
All Thursday and Friday a steady
stream of people have been subscrfb-

not already advertised that the lists

they would close them, but having so
advertised, the lists will remain open
at the office of p. F. Dillingham;, Judd
block until o'clock today.
The entire amount received on as
sessable stock is paid direct into the
treasury of the company and is to be
used exclusively for developing the
plantation. No cash is paid by the
company for the land. the promoters

security which American ownership
insures to every property interest in
the country, capital could not be found
to come forward to the amount OF
millions in two or three days, to float
new enterprises.
The success of Olaa has been assured
from the beginning; but the results OF
the last two days make the fact patent
to all.
