STATUS OF THE BACHELOR GIRL
Indicates Progress, Says Writer in
the Louisville Herald.

She is not an evil indicative of race
suicide. She is a statutary step. She
indicates progress. Marshall Field
twice married, declares that marriage
is a good thing, if one gets the right
woman.
American bachelor girls are apply,
ing Mr.. Fields theory, and waiting
for the right one.
In the so-called good old days"
they didn't wait Hence the seed OF
the divorce evil and inferior offspring
the genuine seed of race suicide
In those days they married the elg-
IDLE whom parents selected. or the
substantial one, who offered a good
home, in order to escape the awful
ignominy of becoming an old maid.
And then unhappiness.
But things are changing. It has
been discovered that a man in her
life is not, to every woman, an inds-
pensable attachment.
True, the fullest and best, and most
fortunate life is that in which the
right man is.
But failing to find the right man a
woman does infinitely better to pad
die her own canoe.-Louisville Her

Effect of the Auto Craze.

Just how badly some men have the
automobile habit was shown on Broad
way the other night by a man and
woman who were spinning down that
thOroughfare in little open touring
car. The man, who was driving the
car, was in formal evening dress, a
crush hat on his head and his white
tie and waistcoat showing under his
long gray top coat. The woman by his
side wore heavy white veil over her
head and her gown was covered with
a big cloak. Seated by her side at
her feet on the step was the chauffeur,
whose duties so far as that run was
concerned, were purely ornamental

WILL WEAR ANKLETs OF GOLD
Fashionable Women Of To-Day to Re.
Vive the Old Fashion.

S1NC VIC Slu dShiOH.
The anklet, after hundreds of years
has returned to favor and is to grace
the slender ankles of the belle to to-
day, says the London Express.
The modern anklet resembles the
plain gold band worn as a sign OF
bondage.
Being slave no more, woman, as
Is her habit, is only too glad to play
with the symbol of slavery, provided
the symbol is becoming. Therefore
the anklet graces the foot of the girl
who wants to be just a little more
than merely up to date.
Oriental anklets are much in de-
mand and, in many instances, these
are supplied with hinge and clasp
and slip round the foot easily.
Some Of the new anklets are the
tiniest gold bands inscribed with an
cient charms. said to defend the wear
er from all diseases and from evil of
every kind.
Other anklets are made of precious
stones strung together These are
worn under the stocking and scarcely
show through, SO fine and small are
they.
Phoenician glass or beaten gold
anklets carved in heiroglyphics are
very popular and will probably be
worn at winter dances.

Ironized Water.

There is no drug that has been so
wrongly used and unjustly condemned
as iron. 1t has been taken in huge
doses and has then been rejected as
causing headache or other trouble.
The truth is that iron does most ser.
vice as tonic when the dose is very
small and as it Is taken over in extend
ed period. The following is an excel.
lent way of making an ironized water:
Place teaspoonful of dilute perchlo-
ride of iron in an eight ounce bottle,
fill up with water and shake. Add a
tablespoonful of this to sufficient wa
ter to make one pint. This may be
taken freely as ordinary water.
