Status of Unmarried Women.

One thing Is sure, and that Is that more attention is being paid to the comfort of unmarried women. They have as dis tinct a social status as the bachelor, and if they know how to manage they may have almost as comfortable time of 1t. which is saying great deal There are now apartment houses exclusively for woman where she may have more than the comforts of home and be almost frec from gossip-that is, as free as she can be In place entirely populated by wo- men. Then she need no longer mind the fact that some boarding houses prefer to cater entirely to men, because there are any number of apartments hotels where she Is hailed with joy as a pros pective tenant, She can go to the thea Ire alone if she wishes, and, better stiii. the day has come when two women can even tnke dinner in a restaurant without exciting unpleasant comment.
 If this slate of affairs continues I can see tho marriage rate decreasing. No- men will become particular on the hus- band proposition now that their liberty is no longer made bitter for them. How ever. you wouldn't expect to find en- coura ragement to spinsterhood coming from old fogy Europe, would yop? And yet here Is what a friend writes me from Denmark: She says: '"rhey have here a. celibacy insurance company, and if the r~i If -rnlrv is unmarried at forty

stay so every time.
 Give me the man who knows what Is going on around town and who takes lively interest in 1t; who is not too blase td go to the theater and laugh in the right place and who has good, healthy appetite for supper afterward. Give me the chum who is equally good for an expedition to Chinatown or trip to Sherry's. who never misunder- stands you, who is always jolly and who doesn't pose. For the benefit of that man I am willing to deal out my choicest conversation and my sweetest smiles, not to speak of wearing recix- lessly my prettiest gowns
 Men certainly don't always under stand girls, but that is because most men are naturally thoughtless. A man will send a girl a cart load of flowers and then perhaps forget her on her birthday. It isn't the quantity; 1t is the thought that counts. A bunch of vielets may be bought for as little as 75 cents Isn't that better than sending nothing at all because one can't afford roses? Of course it Is lovely of the man to weep because he can't afford to send you roses. but the violets at least will show he has not forgotten you, and a girl can't al- ways teil "iLiiOut hHcSS llttie BE HS.

 Materials fer Taller Mades.
 I just put that phrase in as a gentle introduction to fashions because I want to tell you about the particularly pretty materials the big New York shops are showing for tailor mades. The tailor made this year. you know, is not going to be strictly tailor made at all. It will be just the thinnest imaginable little. blouse coat and skirt, The former will be all shirred around the long shouldered yoke and made to puff prettily into high. tight fitting girdie. In the front 1t will remain open to show the very dain- ty needlework blouses which we are to wear this year instead of the stiff shirt waists.
 The materials for the9e suits arc soft silk in plain and fancy weaves. mostly gray in tone. pougee and. last. and not east mohair. The Latter comes dyed in blue, brown, silver gray and, what is decided novelty. heliotrope. It is no longer plain, but distinguished by tiny lettings and markings.
 The pongees come in the natural shade, n brown, inheliotrope and in pale gray. rkere Is also a rich tone of blue. The ,ongees are particularly pretty when
 ombined with rich embroidery of the
 rienta1 variety.
 The skirts of all these street gowns 1ust be cut so as to clear the ground. hey are deeply plaited both back and
 ront. and the short jackets either swing to SC over a wide belt or else blouse back md front, also over a wide belt The day of narrow belts is utterly passed.

come to close with everything in as
hopeful and prosperous condition, as
it is this year.
