Are men growing less defferentiaI to
women?
The Baltimore Sun asserts that good
manners are in state of deca6ence,
that men are less deferential to women
than they We're a generation ago, and
that the habit of rudeness is growing.
The writer continues In the north it
has become simply brutal In New
York. If man surrenders his seat in a
street car to a woman every one in the
car knows at once that he is from the
south. Occasionally, however, one
meets a southern man in say, New
York, who has inbibed the notion that
it is the thing to exhibit Indifference
to women. on the streets and in all
public places men take advantage OF
their superior brute strength to jostle
and hustle women out of their way. to
rush ahead of them, and to deprive
them of their rights. 1t is a trite re-
mark to say that the decrease in polite
ness to women means simply a decrease
in civilization. 1t matters not how q
people may advance in wealth and re-
vel in luXuries, no matter what the We
-neer may be, people who mistreat
women are lacking in true civilization,
and assimilate themselves with the
savage tribes of mankind"
In reply. Harper's Weekly editorial
ly: after reading the above, it would
be pertinent to ask how long since the
editor of the Sun visited New York
city, and to question whether at that
time he penetrated further into the
precincts of New York than Coney
Island, for. as a matter of fact, con-
sidering the cosmopolitan character of
It's citizenship, considering it's cease
less activity and the hurry and rush
of business life, there is no city in the
world where a woman may come and
go with less disrespect shown and more
courtesy and consideration offered to
her than in New York. To say that
courtesy toward the fair sex in the city
of New York is the stamp of southern
birth, is an amusing conceit which may
reasonably be expected from one who
has never yentured out of the state of
Maryland, but to indict community
upon mere intellectual vagary, even
when it is REINFORCED by natural
pride of birth, is not fair. and suggests
not so much that our good manners are
on the down track as that the sense of
justice in at least one southern mind is
sadly warped"

Flowers in the Hair.

One long discarded custom is be-
ing brought into favor-that of wear
ing a flower in the hair. Had woman
realized to what extent the pretty
custom was admired and even loved
by the majority of the opposite sex it
never would have fraternized with
the spinning wheel, the blue dishes
and the lace mits in the dim and cob
webbeI garnet Of things past.
To man, and that man a sweet
heart. this little art, for such it is,
of putting a flower in the hair is a
signal to all the sensitive sentiment
within him. If you doubt this, look
to the voicings of the poets. There
you will find holding sway and run
ming riot as roses on an old wall,
such phrases as "a blossom in her
tresses," "a flower to bewitch me
in her hair" and that rose above her
ear was my undoing."
Whether the hair be black or
brown, red or gold. the charm OF
primeval femininity remains the
same.

short in the back. Before putting on

the sleeves or pulling of the shirt

been carefully arranged. The hat will
be beaver felt, with plateau crown, a

The shirt waist is Of vestlng, as has
been mentioned, and is made with a
wide panel of the same, finished on
either edge with tuck an inch deep
extending from collar to belt in the
front. On either side is row Of
large fiat pearl buttons. The sleeves

about the top and small tie of black
silk is knotted in front.
Last of all is the jacket which is
made with blouse front, plain coat
collar fitted back and short peplum.
The peplum is no longer in the back
than at the sides and narrows to a
point on either side in the front A
girdle is stitched about the waist and
crossed in front, where it is fastened
by an invisible hook.
The side fronts of the blouse are
laid in fiat tucks or stitched plaits
closely pressed with the tailor's iron
and stripes of braid such as are used
in the skirt extend from the shoulder
to the bust line and are graduated in
length, these at the outside of the
shoulder being short and those in the
middle longer. Two Of these straps of
braid are drawn over the shoulder and
extend under the belt nearly to the
ends of the peplum. where they are
folded under so that points are
formed. The jacket is fastened with
small buttons and the sleeves are me-
dunn sized bishop style and are drawn
into a wide band at the waist, which
is pointed and hooked invisibly. A
strap of the braid is laid through the

SUBSTITUTION.

Please listen to a short talk upon Q
most vitality important subject-one
which is greatly disturbing the BUSH
ness world to-day.
You have doubtless heard OF the
word Substitution" You have prob
ably read that Substitution is fraud"
Tack that saying firmly in your mind
and keep it there. 1t Is worth some
thing. 1t is true-almost invariably.
You call at store and ask for an
article of certain brand or manufac-
ture, one which has been thoroughly
advertised for years, and which has
earned an excellent reputation. The
dealer says heres something just as
good for less money" That dealer
thereby usually tells a direct false
hood. He knows that the article
which he offers you at lower price
is inferior. but the point is that 1t
yields him a greater profit; hence his
desire to substitute.
You may ask If an article is superior
just because 1t is advertised. Yes. it
40, dhu hOiC . WY. Ing many WCh-
known houses which spend millions
of dollars every year in the good pub
locations of the country are managed
by men of brains and wide business
experience, and these men know only
too well that unless an article has
merit there is absolutely no business
sense in spending good money to adj
vertise it. 1t does not pay to adver-
tise any article OF general use for
short time only. Every advertiser
must wait some time before his adver-
Using has created the desired impress
sion and while he is waiting his goods
must have time to prove whether or
not they are good. If they are good,
they stick; if not, they do not, and IL
they were not good and did not stick,
would this experienced business man
continue to spend good money adver-
Using the goods-throw good money
after bad as it were? Never! He
has too much business sense.
The average article which you see
advertised month after month in good
publications is itself good. Buy an
advertised article. 1t is the true safe
way.
When you are buying ask for what
you want and get what you ask for.

stand, which takes up little space and

four in number, are made of stout
barrel-head pieces, fastened to q cen

The foot of the shaft is firmly fixed

at the same time she made the re-
mark you saw her arrayed in delicate
and flimsy lingerie. thin and brilliantly
colored hose and the like, with a dain-
ty dressing sack thrown over all, what
would you expect her to do-go out
and put on tailor-made walking suit
and walking shoes over all this flimsy
underwear? OF course you would not
expect her to do this, and Of course
she would not do it. On the face OF 1t,
it seems hardy worth bringing up as
a point, and yet there is often as great
incOngruity in less conspicuous direc-
tions in what is considered toilet.
To be dressed for an occasion is to be
dressed therefor from tip to toe, and
some time has been spent during the
past few days in finding out suitable
ways in which one may dress for the

The young lady in question is in
medium circumstances and the gar
ments described neither extremely
rich nor very plain. The first is a
knit merino combination suit and
black cashmere hose with panels Of
dark blue in diamond shapes across
the instep. According to the most
approved authority on hygienic as well
as artistic dressing she will be very
careful not to draw the garters, which
are attached to the front of the corset,
too tightly. The side supporters she
will wear as is customary, and the
hygienic enthusiast will probably have
nothing to say.
Next in order will be either knit
ted corset cover and knitted short
skirt or a muslin corset cover, prefer
ably cut off at the waist, and short
skirt or muslin or light flannel, as
taste or weather dictate.
Next she will put on the long petit
coat, which, if it is silk will require
frequent cleaning, or il it is desired
that it should be washable it may be
of pongee. The shoes will be medium
weight walking shoes.
Next in order is the walking skirt,
made of Scotch tweed, with seams
strapped with black braid and a mar
row circular flounce around the bot
