Why are women happiest married?
They are. There's no doubt Of IL. Ex-
ceptional femlnines there are, it is true,
who announce their own self-sufficiency,
and openly proclaim that they would
rather forego the uncertain joys Of mat
rimony than subject themselves to its GER
tain sorrows.
But deep down I'm their hearts they
know that If they could be dead certain
Of drawing a genuine prize and absolutely
assured that marriage would not forever
eurtan the blessed liberty which is as pre-
cIous 70 every Independent woman as il
could be TO any free-spirited man, and
positively convinced that the day would
never come when they would wake up 10
perceive with tears OF agony the fearful
clay feet OF their idoI-if these certain
guarantees were handed 70 them along
with the marriage certificate, they know
that they would not only unlock the door
to Cupid. but fling It wide and call the
little blind god 10 come in.
Headstrong daughters and sons are
daily bringing sorrow and disgrace into
families which have always been able 10
look the world squarely in the face

who are carefully trained have great re-
snect for the wishes Of their parents

Hats Touched In with Fur.

Touches of fur are seen or many of the
hats Sometimes fur is used lavishly on
hats. but more often a small band or the
skin Of one small eTmine is considered
sufficient. Occasionally the tails of err
mine are applied on black or white tuile,
the little ermine heads catching the trim
ming here and there. Chinchilla Is be-
ing used in combination with blue. Co
penhagen blue and the soft gray Of this

Mr. Shonts will not be prosecuted by

New York, Jan. 2I,-Theodore P, shonts,
president of the InteTborough Metropoli-
tan, and formerly chairman of President
Roosevelts Isthmian Canal Commission,
has had a little experience with the
United States customs authorities here
which Mr. Shonts is not inclined to view
with the equanimity Of one who believes
that the government can do no wrong.
The incident isn't ended yet and 1t may
be that as result of the work Of Col
lector Fowler In following up the tip of
a discharged servant of Mr.. Shonts, the
latter may have TO pay 500 duty. or even
worse. may lose about $3.50 worth of
gowns belonging to the women members
Of his family which have already been
worn considerably abroad, and which. for
this reason, the Shonts family say. they
did not know they had to declare when
they arrived here last September.
Col Fowler said that the case would
have TO 90 TO Washington 1t isn't be-
cause Of what happened on Monday, when
FIVE employees OF the collectors went
through his house in the search for duti-
able goods that has made Mr.. Shonts fee

collector that his men would like to look

threw open his closets and his check book
showing what they had bought as well.
Servant the Informant.
/ What has made Mr.. Shonts feel ill
treated Is the fact that. when a dis
charged servant Of the family, whom the
family was still sneltering, took the in
formation to a newspaper that the house
was filed with clothes on which no duty
/ had been paid. the customs authorities
sent up a woman 70 the house with the
! servant some weeks ago. when the fam.
/ fly was out. and the two went through
I the house taking a careful inventory OF
the wardrobes OF each member Of tht
/ family.

Inspected the Gowns.


All Of the gowns were hauled over. and
Mrs. Shonts and her daughters pointed
out those gowns that had been taken
over and worn. They did not know, it
was explained that some gowns which
they had bought on their arrival I'm Paris.
and had worn all the time they were
abroad. were dutiable believing that the
law applied only TO new and unworn
clothing. When the inspectors asked If
they had anything new with them they
pointed out some presents upon which
duty was paid. There were no gowns in
the trunks that had not been worn.
According to the Shonts side of the
story, the housekeeper, Mrs. Johnson,
was discharged in November because Of
her inability to run things as they de-
sired, She told Mrs. Shonts that she
was III, and Mrs Shonts told her TO re-
main until she was better and could get
another place. She remained over six
weeks during which time the family has
learned she began writing anonymous let
ters TO the newspapers. The newspapers
took the woman 10 the collector a month
ago. and 1t was then that a woman in
spect0r. said TO have been d Miss Els
worth, was assigned by the collector TO
accompany the woman to the Shonts
house
