THE MAKING OF WOMAN.

Twashtri, the god Vulcan Of the Hin'
doc mythology, created the world. But
on his commencing to make woman
he discovered that with man he had
exhausted all his creative materials,
and that not one solid element had
been left. This, Of course, greatly per-
picked Twashtri, and caused him to
fall in a profound meditation. When
he arose from it he proceeded as fol-

A girl to be truly popular never, says

willing to let other girls have their

what women represent in mems eyes. And parents mostly have themselves to blame for this A girl Is taught that she must marry; yes, the superstition clings on even in this enlightened age. As g mat ter of fact, a woman need do no such thing. She won't die if she doesn't mar ry; she won't grow old any faster. per- haps less so. and she will only grow old maAlish and cranky if she was born with that disposition. In nine eases out of ten even her financial con iition will be better if she doesn't marry.
 Marriage is certainly mirage with the average woman. (No. that isn't meant to be pun. Can't you see that it isn'tO
 Some one has wisely said that girl spends all her life in being in love, and a man can count his love experiences on the five fingers of his right hand. An other sage remarked that love with a woman was her whole life: with man 1t was only an incident. Nonsense! II wasn't intended to be so. and do you know the reason why it is so as a mat ter of fact? Because women have such narrow spheres. Men live two lives--that of business and that of pleasure. Love comes under the heal of pleasure, and sometimes 1t doesn't even come under that, but occupies little corner by itself as 1t were.s

THE NATIONAL CONGRESS
Quay Insists Upon Consideration of
 Statehood Bill to Exclusion.


 Washington. Jan. 2s.-In the Senate today MT. Quay, in charge of the ombibus state hood bill. insisted on its consideration to the exclusion of other business. When Senator Platt of New York attempted to call up O committee report providing for the printing of a document, Mir. Quay objected. Mir. Hale thereupon declared that Mir. Quay con- fiscatng the time of the Senate. The latter replied calmly that this could be obviated by allowing a vote the statehood bill.
 resolution offered by Mir. Morgan of Ala bama, questioning the credentials of Dr. Her ran, the Colombian Charge d dAnfaires, who signed. with Secretary Hay, the canal treaty, caused the Senate to so into a long executive session.
 At its conclusion the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was passed. The Lodge amendment providing for reorganization of the service was ruled out of order and de- bate thereby cut off.
 The Lodge amendment rejected a point of order by Mir. Gallinger. who said the Senate had listened to lecture by the Senator from Maine. who had charged that a majority was flibustering. It was something he had never heard of before and he hoped he would never hear of it again.
 The credentials of Mir. Alger, recently elect ed Senator from Michigan. and of MT, Kilt redge, reelected Senator from South Dakota, were presented and the oath of office was ad- ministered to them.
 Shortly before adjournment the statehood bill was again taken up, and MT. Foraker, having 1t in charge in the absence of Mir. Quay yielded for the passage of House bill making an appropriation for the suppress sion and to prevent the spread of contagious and infectious disease of live stock. MT. Burnham tready to continue his state hood bill speech today, and. at 4:30 p. m, the Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

The John and Mary Way

Here Is a case in point: John comes to see Mary on Wednesday evening. The visit is-er-very satisfactory. Undying promises of love are exchanged. perhaps even few kisses. Gets admit such an extraordinary case for the sake of argu- ment) After leaving Mary at the con- ventional hour John goes on up or down town. as it happens to be, and stops at his athletic club. punches the bag for an hour, takes swim for half an hour or does some stunt calculated to direct his thoughts back to normal channels. He goes home healthily tired. sleeps soundly ard the next morning rushes downtown and Is plunged into the whirl of affairs. If he thinks of Mary three times during the day he is doing well.
 Now, just listen to what Mary does:
 When John leaves her, she first dream fly contemplates herself in the glass; then she wanders around with a blissfully in- ane expression, living over and over again the events of the evening. weighing each word, each phrase, each hand pres sure. Then she goes to bed, but if she sleeps at all it is to dream of John again. The next morning she arises to breakfast either extravagantly gay or thoroughly llstless, according to the weather and her inward presentiments. She mopes around all day, reading sentimental novels and thinking of him-planning, in fact, and wondering when they are to meet again. Or she rushes over to some girls house and confides in her, or if she Is. a still greater fool she writes or telephones to John. But even if she is a wise girl she wastes valuable time thinking of him just the same.
 That's how the little god of love makes slaves of us women. If Mary would only bestir herself and do something useful, If Mary would change her mental atmos- phere, pick up a story of the strenuous life after John leaves, do something-any- thing, to remove that fatal spell-well, more girls would be saved breaking their hearts in vain; that's all.
 No, I am not an old maid or new woman. I declare unblushingly that no 20 od time is perfect to me without a masculine coat around. but know few things concerning the tricks and ways of the said masculine coats. and I should like to see the scales swing a little more evenly, that's all.
