Women's clothes become more artis-
tic every year. and for this the thanks
are due chiefly to men. Dress is an
art nowadays because distinguished
and manly men persist in so consider
ing II. Men have always been the real
arbiters of womens fashions, the in
spiration and the reward of their best
efforts. Even Americans who have
been in the habit of looking upon a
man interested in the feminine ward
robe as rather effeminate are becom-
ing accustomed to the European point
of view.
In these days of strenuous country
life and athletics for women, men and
women meet more as companions
than heretofore. They ride, shoot and
play golf together. A greater SINH
larity in tastes Is the natural result,
and American men have, in addition,
exceptional opportunities to observe
| fashion and peculiarities In women's
dress. see.
The late President Mckinley took
the deepest interest in his iwife's dress
ing. Col John Jacob Aston. Rough
Rider and man of affairs as he is, is
most discriminating in all such mat
tiers, and Mrs. Astor's gowns are con-
sidered works of art among fashion,
able New Workers. Peter Marie, whose
collection of miniatures OF lovely wo-
men is famous, has always been look
ed upon as a connoisseur OF women's
attire, and Harry Lehr always helps
Mrs. Lehr decide upon her gowns.
Albert Herter, the artist, is the author
of many a picturesque costume worn
by his Madonna like wife, and Louis
Carey years ago laid aside architecture
and pictures to design frocks for the
400" of New York.
A man as far from the effeminate
as the great Napoleon was a keen
critic Of style and beauty in clothes,
and many a noted statesman of mod
ern times is not ashamed TO express
his taste in the selection of a ward
robe for his wife, sister or sweetheart
King Edward and the Emperor of
Germany pride themselves on their
knowledge of women's clothes, and
both Queen Alexandra and the EN-
press have availed' themselves OF the
sartorial judgment of their royal hus-
bands. And ii goes without saying
that the women of King Edward s
court and OF all fashionable London
dress for his eyes above all, for while
women value the envy of other wo-
men, they care most to please men.
Count Boni de Castellane is his
wife's highest court in the business Of
designing and planning her wardrobe,
and 1t is wonderful what his taste has
accomplished for a woman far from
beautiful. The Duke OF Manchester
is also an expert on women's dress,
for his wife's reputation for charming
and appropriate gownlng Is largely
due to his judgment.
Men dressmakers are far more orig
inal than their women competitors,
and some have made their names as
famous as those that designate the
artists in music and painting.
AS a rule the average man likes
rich fabrics, subtle and elaborate de-
signs, combined with simplicity in CUT,
with long, graceful lines. To him
grace and distinction seem to be the

A cup OF CHOCOLATE.

"A cup of hot chocolate, as clear and
devoid of greasiness as a cup of coffee,
is a. marvel not to be ignored. says
the Baltimore Herald, and this is the
way to make it: "Take a ten-cent
cake of good observation-disclosures is
rot economy in this instance-shave
It and put into half pint of hot wa
ter. Then. by pressing the chocolate
against the sides of the pan with
spoon 1t will form a thin paste. Com
bine this with one pint of hot water
and keep the liquid chocolate obtained
tightly corked. When a cup OF the
delicious beverage is wished merely
pour some OF it into cup. add
small quantity of hot water. cream

1t is certainly peculiar that reduc-
ing the chocolate to a paste and then
converting it back to the liquid Ike

effect, but this process viii effectually

wise head upon her pretty shoulders,
for nothing is so efficacious to keep
the skin in good condition as hot milk.
A woman who has bathed her face in
il night and morning for several
months says her skin is fresher and
clearer than 1t has been for many
years. She heats a pint of milk over
a little alcohol lamp which she keeps
for that purpose. and just before 1t
boils turns it out into a basin. She
then dips a soft linen cloth into the
milk and bathes her face with II. sat
urating her skin with the milk for five
minutes. This she does regularly
morning and night. with the result
that her skin has the clear. healthy
glow so desired by all women.
Occasionally this milk devotee takes
a tub bath of hot milk. particularly
when she is exhausted by the too siren
uous life. Then she orders a couple
of gallons of milk, but instead of heat
ing IL turns II into the tub and adds a
little boiling hot water to it-enough
to heat the milk-and in this she lit
orally soaks herself for five or ten
minutes. When she comes out she Gays
not only her skin, but she herself has

without ever letting any one hear
the rattle of the domestic machinery.
She must have everything done on
time, without ever discussing the SER
want girl question. She must be a
devoted mother. but she mustn't tell
the smart things her babies say, and
she must worship her husband with
out ever Dragging of his perfection
to other women. Still. for all that.
every man likes to talk about his FAM
lily. Therefore, a woman should do
all the work of the household and let
the man take the credit.
Eleventh. A woman should be rea-
sonable. A woman's home and children
should be sufficient to her. and she
ought not to want to have any amuse-
ment outside of the nursery and the
kitchen. If she does. 1t shows a very
unhealthy moral state. Nobody. how
ever, can expect a man to be like that.
He needs something to divert his mind
after a hard day in the Office or store.
and it is nothing but right that he
should sit up playing poker, or go on
an occasional bat. A dear. loving
wife will see it in this way. and when
she opens the door for him at a..
m. she will wear a glad, sweet smile
and spend the next morning applying
wet towels to his aching brow. Still.
it wouldn't do for her to attempt to
break the monotony of her life by
straying off any. Therefore, a good
wife is one who excuses things in her
husband that he wouldn't. overlook for
minute in her.
Twelfth. A woman should also
have good common sense. She should
be liberal enough to know that YOU
can't tie men down to the same code
of morals and manners as women. No
girl should Investigate mans past or
NEEDLE much with his present, and
a married woman should never take
her husbands little fiirtations seri-
ously. It's a wifes business to make
q happy home and take what she can
get thankfully OF course no man
would take this point of view about
himself He demands an absolutely
clean bill of lading with the woman he
marries, but that's another question,
and nothing annoys him more than
the foolish suspicious and jealousies
of women. Therefore, an ideal wom-
an is the one who realizes early in the
game that what is sauce for the goose
is not sauce for the gander.
Thirteenth. a woman should be a
wizard with money. She should be
able to dress so as to reflect credit on
her husband. keep a fine table, enter
tain. send the children to school, and
yet run up no bills, and make no de-
mands for an appropriation. or course.
no man will say that he expects his
wife to be able to work miracles and
make one dollar do the work of three.
still that is about the size of IT, II
there were no financial problems in
the home. there would be few quar-
rels. Therefore, the ideal woman is
one who can live and make a show on
nothing a year.
Summed Up, the modest requirements
Of our brother, is that a woman should
be:
Beautiful. though ugly.
Intelligent. but humble.
Witty. but dumb.
Domestic. but brilliant.
cllnging. yet helpful.
Gay but discreet.
AdorinS. but not jealous.
Fashionable, bat economical
And that she should be- as wise as
the serpent and harmless as the dove,

UNNOTICED.

The following fragment of a CONVEX
sation, says the Chicago Journal, was
overheard IN a park one morning be-
tween two well dressed ladies':
did you notice that girl who looked
at us so pointedly just now?"
mo, dear. Which one?"
1T was just as we were passing the
Achilles statue
"Oh! do you mean the one in a gray
Elton Jacket with blue silk revers and
strapped skirt to match; a blue hat
with big bow of green velvet; pale
gray kid gloves stitched with black, a
pale blue silk flounced underskirt
high-heeled patent leather shoes, a
spotted veil and a blue parasol?"
Yes, dear; that was the one"
No, then, 1 didn't notice her; In fact
l hardly looked at her"

THE IDEAL WOMAN.
The Masculine Estimate of What
She Should Be.


She Should BE.
In considering the attributes that
go to make up mans ideal of woman,
says Dorothy Dix in the New Or
leans Picayune. I have found:
First. That woman must be beau
tiful. This demand. however. is not
so discouraging in reality as it looks
on it's face. since not one man in a
million knows a pretty woman when
he sees her, or is any Judge of beauty.
He can be fooled by a pretty dress,
a lively manner, an agreeable talker.
Every man is Paris who sets his
own criterion of beauty. and we have
all seen him bestow the apple upon
some pretty homely Venuses. Never
theless, beauty is the first item on
his list of feminine charms. the one
thing he never fails to continually
compliment her upon, but nothing dis
gusts him so much as for her to be
vain. Therefore. woman should be
beautiful, but not know IT..
Second. A woman should always be
well-dressed. There never was man
who wasn't a slave to frilly skirts and
slippers. No young man will go out
with a girl who doesn't make a good
appearance and look smart. Few hus-
bands exist whose love can stand curl
papers and wrappers. Even on the
street cars and in business, men make
an insidious distinction between the
woman who looks dowdy and the one
who is silk-lined. 1t Is men who make
women's clothes the most important
i L.
they never weary for knocking her
about thinking so much about dress.
A woman, therefore, to come up TO
the masculine ideal, should always be
the glass of fashion, but she shouldn't
spend much time or money on doing
it,
Third. A woman should be intelli-
gent. She should keep up with the
times so as to be able to understand
when man expounds the political sit
uation, and tell how he could have
settled the coal strike in two minutes,
with one hand tied behind him, or
how he could run the government
without a hitch, but she should never
know enough to argue the question
with him or have an opinion of her
own. In other words. she should know
enough, but not too much.
Fourth. woman should be SYM
pathetic. She should be one OF those
comprehending creatures to whom IL is
an unalloyed joy to tell the sad, sad
story of your life. She should be will

man descants on his achievements.

HOW GIRLS CARRY CAR FARE.

The up-to-date girl has a new dang
Ter upon her chain. says the Chicago
American. 1t Is a cylindrical shaped
affair, small in size, and from 1t
nickel springs out whenever the fair
one wishes to pay her car fare These
neW coin carriers are dainty little af-
fairs in gun metal, not much larger
than n five-cent piece. But they are
handsomely finished and mounted, and
in themselves are an ornament. They
are attached to the long chain that
every well-dressed woman is wearing
these days. But since the ornament
is of gun metal, the chains are pre-
ferably of gun metal also, set with
crystals.
