The WOman's Ideal Woman.

[By Frances Demerest.l
Everyone knows what a mans man
is. but very few have a thorough con-
ception of the phrase, "a woman's
woman" In the case of the sterner
sex the favorite is of athletic build,
fond of good stories, more inclined to
iinger with the men over wine and
cigars than to join the ladies in the
drawing room; one that would rather
hunt than dance, ride rough shod than
be romantic, and, in fact, what his
men friends call "A good, all-round
fellow" and the women consider a
bore.
A wOman's woman is very different,
for she is usually a favorite with both
sexes. She is, however, one that en-
joys a quiet chat with girl friend as
much as a pavilion ON beach scene
with the beau of the season. She does
not ignore others less fortunate than
herself or become puffed up with van
ity or self-satisfaction if she dances
three times where another is asked
only once, but would gladly share her
admirers with those to whom the little
attentions would seem so much.
She loves little children and does
not take every opportunity to snub
them. She is kind to the unfortunate
and has heart big enough to take in
the whole world, shows a Difference to
the old and is purely and genuinely
unselfish. Therefore, how could such
a one help being not only the kind a
woman admires, but likewise favor
lite with the opposite sex.
Progressive Conversation.
There is nothing better to promote
sOciability than progressive CONVERSE
ton. Prepare cards with five or six
good topics, such as Should Women
Vote?" What Would You Do With a
Million?" What Trip Would You
Take If You Could Choose?" What
is Your Hobby?" What is Your Bette
Noir?" Can You Keep Resolution 2"
Pass these cards and allow 10 minutes
for topic. Then ring a bell and

Preserved His Dignity.

fFrom the Kansas City Journal.)
One time Col. Bill Hackney, of Win
field, was indicted by the grand jury
for betting on election, along with sew
eral other men. Hackney stood in
with the judge. The defendants all
pleaded guilty. Before passing sent
ence on the bunch the Judge took
Hackney into a side room and asked:
How much shall l fine you, Bill?"
What are you going to soak the
rest OF the bunch for?" asked Hack
neE.
"Oh, think will give them 81 and
COSTS" said the judge.
We'll. I don't want to be treated as
common criminal" said Hackney.
Just fine me $50 and costs"
And the judge took his seat on the
bench and did SO.

Children who are naturally weak or those close

every way when several months are spent in the

which are always needed in later life.
If the money that goes in doctor bills each
year were wisely put in summer outings, there
would be marked change for the better in the
average child's health.
The ever increasing growth of suburban col

The legitimate occupation of a child is play,
and it is interesting to see how he will work
out the problem for himself and how every act
to which has been given the name of play has
for its object the development of his physique.
Some diversion brings his muscles into play,
others develop his quickness of perception, the
alertness of his eye and his sense of calculation

dren will adapt their various sports and diver

are being watched.

in the sun, OF avoiding the MONDAY heat and

Garments made all in one for small children
greatly simplify the clothes question, and are
less inconvenient for the little wearers.
Many children are wild with delight when

ton must be employed in this matter, as chill
dren not accustomed to come in contact with
Mother Earth are subject to colds and should
never be permitted to run through the damp
grass in the morning after nightfal. The
next best proposition is the wearing of sandals
as they protect the soles Of the feet and pre-
vent them from spreading These may be wyrn

shoes should be worn in rainy weather.

Ralph Bingham, Entertainer.

The versatile Ralph Bingham, the in lmitable Ralph Bingham, the amusing Ralph Bingham, entertained at the Montgomery Theatre last evening. His hours were from S:30 o'clock to 10, and his guests were many. MT. Bingham was attired in the conventional black. but this formality was not required of his guests.
 Mir Bingham entertained under the auspices of the Montgomery Lyccum Course. He introduced himself to his audience when they came in, and kept them in a good humor while they re- mained. When they left 1t was gath cred from the remarks on all sides that "a good time was had by all" If it was not. 1t wasn't to be laid to MT. Bingham. For the entertainment of Ralph Bingham last evening was unique, amusing and delightful. His humor was refined. his witticisms new. His manner was his own. The combi- nation of the three produced an eve ning's pleasure that was refreshing and recreative. Mir, Bingham said, be- fore closing. he hoped he had made his hearers forget their troubles. their worries, and even their debts" In jus tice to him, 1t must be acknowledged that while he was on tho stage. the au- dience forget everything but MT. Bing- ham.
 MT. Bingham played a lone hand. He was his own support. and save for an accompanist in his violin and vocal selections, was the whole cast. He introduced himself and he introduced his numbers. The audience always &C., knowIedged the introduction with a round of applause. Ills numbers in their variety ranged from II Trovatore to "A Hot Time" in the musical se- lections. and from Indiana through New Jersey to Virginia in his dialect sketches. In one he showed his cath olicity of taste, and in. the other he proveu himself thoroughly the cosmO- politan.
 Mir. Bingham began his entertain ment with a tragedy and closed in burst. of comedy. He preferred that order of things to the reverse. he said, in explanation. That his tragedy was considered comic by the audience may not have been his fault
 That his talent lay not wholly in lighter vein was shown a few minutes later when he performed several class teal selections on the violin which drew forth a round of applause His variations of a rag-time selections were ho less warmly received. Per haps his best work was done, however, in the character sketches. As the countryman of Riley's poem. and Mrs. Brown" at the Afro-American picnic ne was irresistible.
 Throughout the entire entertainment MT. Bingham had a running line or talk which kept his audience in good humor. His evening in Montgomery proved de- lightful to those who heard him.
 The last entertainment of the Ly- ceum course will consist of an illus trated lecture on The Panama Canal" delivered by Edward Burton Mcdowell of Chicago It will be presented at the Montgomery Theatre April 2.
