price, and you win enjoy looking well for

carefully executed plan.

not stop Immediately upon gaining your
point. Otherwise your husband might sus-
pect the reason OF your solicitude and con-
slderation OF him, which would never do at
all, by spelling future chances
Sometimes it may De necessary 10 begin
a long time beforehand to win the husband
into a favorable frame OF mind. but the
foregoing will suggest line Of procedure.
Another good way TO get clothes or money
is to display utter indifference to such
things
Tell your husband you are glad that he
takes so much interest In your appearance;
that he is so observing and notices when
ever you need new dress. 1T is so nice
to feel that some one is solieitous about
those things for you, for you really cannot
spare the thought from your housekeeping
and him" Indeed it is good policy for a
woman to rely upon her husband in this
way. He grows to like the dependency and
takes a keen pleasure in dressing her, far
beyond what she could do II he felt she
was capable OF looking out for herself.
These methods are much more likely to
succeed than those which keep man sus-
pecting that he Is being piuoked or con-
stantly on the alert for some new cunning.
Disarm him and keep him absolutely sure
that you are frank and free to think so
much Of him that It is impossible for you
TO think he will not do his best for you.

popular finish for the plain parasol of rich
gros grain, MORE or taffeta, and the color
ings introduced in these Persian borders
are wonderfully lovely.
Allover Persian designs on a white ground
are used for whole parasol covers, and in
many of these the soft, bright browns and
yellows predominant, making them charm
ing accessories for the fashionable brown
and white toilets.
In the hand painted parasols there are
some new and attractive ideas. Beautiful
flower designs are a foregone conclusion
for parasols OF this type, but we have seen
some lovely, painted bird designs-hights
OF birds across a softly tinted background.

striped along its length in several rich
shades of blue and yellow, with lines of
black satin at the edges. It was the color

purchaser the design which she ordered

flight Of butterflies of the gorgeously
marked blue, black and yellow species.
The stick was smooth and white, but had
two bands Of blue cut crystal just above
the swelling end OF the handle.

New sIarriaEe Theory.

Miss Elizabeth Magic. who some months
ago startled Chicago by advertising her
self for sale, has developed a new and
amazing theory of matrimony. She be-
lieves married life would be ideal were 1t
so arranged that the husband could see
his wife only once every three days, II
this were a compulsory condition Of mar
riage, she says, she probably might be in
duced to embark upon this sea of I'M
certainty herself.
Miss Magic has been in Washington for
about three weeks. relates the Washing
ton Post She is staying now with her
brother. Edward r. Magic. at his home in
Bethesda. Nd. When seen by a reporter
the young woman talked huently about
the trials and tribulations following her
escapade in Chicago.
"The mental anguish, the torture. the
awful conflict OF resentment that ragged
within me was awful" said she. but it
is all over now, and I am busy at work
on my book. The book will reveal the
shadowy side OF human nature-picture

insincerity Of the soul. From a psyche

A great many parasols in biscuit and in
the natural pongee tones are displayed, and
q parasol of this kind is a practical thing
for general use, though it has not the
gay smartness of the more pronounced
colors. Many of the pongee parasols are
embroidered in an all over design or in a
deep border. the embroidery usually being
in self color. though occasionally the
Chinese and Japanese designs and color
ings are employed, and rich oriental blues,
greens and yellows are used upon the nat
ural toned ground.
Parasols are covered in colored pongees
to match colored pongee frocks, and much
more covering to order is being done in
the parasol world than is customary, a
fact accounted for by the wealth Of subtle

An old Mains Advice.

Henry Arthur Jones, whose plays, Mrs.
Danes Defense" and The Hypocrites,"
are now attracting 80 much attention,
brings out a new play in The American
Magazine for March. The chief character
is an extraordinary man IS years old. who,
face to face with death, goes on enjoying
life and making great plans. One OF his
friends is a young girl, who, during the
old mans moments OF relaxation, listens
20 his wisdom.
The veil Is withdrawn from the fully
ripened and completed individuality. The
end. soon to come, brings It's own philosO-
ply and engenders frankness OF speech.
Here is his advice on choosing a hus-
band:
Take care how you choose your partner
for life. You'n have wide choice, and all
your future happiness, and the happiness
perhaps OF many generations 20 come, win

the face and be sure that the whites OF
his eyes are clear. Take care he hasn't got

this belief Is due the oft-repeated charge
that dutiful wives frequently are obliged
