WOMAN WOULD MAKE
 BACHELORS PAY TAX

That the love .aYairs of girls Of sixteen have ceased to interest the rest of womankind and that the greatest interest is now taken by women in the love affairs of other women who are from thirty to thirtylfve years old was the opening statement of an ad- dress delivered by Mrs. Frank N. Gro mise before the Rainy Day Grub in the Hotel Astor recently.
 When anybody says that 6 woman can not love more. than once," said Mrs. Cronise, i've women can say at once. We know better Does not the girl love the grimy faced little urchin not really love the man who asks her to marry him? Neither men nor wom. ~n now pine away and die because they are not loved by the object Of their affections. q want to say to you that if a man tells you he loves you and does not ask you to marry him he does not have for you love of the quality real women look for. Sadder than the lot of the woman who does not marry Is that of the bachelor. I am a firm ad> vocate of the plan to tax every bach elor sufficiently to make 1t possible to pay at least $40 a month to every wid- ow and every unmarried woman Who Is in need of the money.
 DO not in the fear of a homeless old age make a loveless marriage. All women enjoy being made love to. but there are some women who should uever marry. Women should not mar ry for vanity. although do know women who hate and detest the mar ciage bond and who are still glad they are married. because they each can take some man around and say Look. this is my husband.'
 Why should marriage be treated as joke? Why should fun be made ot widowhood? To call woman 'mer- ry widow Is to rattle castanets and cymbals over a new made grave The only merry widow is . woman whoss husband left no reason to be regretted.
 "Thers is nothing in this world so blind, weak and unreasoning as a man who Is in love. He must be pampered and treated like a baby. I have stores of admiration for those women who have sense enough to see that with many men lovemaking is only habit. like their cigar or their morning tub. Many of us think 1t is stupid to marry first and fall in love with our wives or husbands afterwards. but that Is true happiness"

SUMMER A SEASON
 OF SELFISHNESS

Summer Is usually a season of sell fishness. The heat enervates not only physically. but morally. and we think Let us once get into our heads that bors. Yet never is there a time when "the golden rule" works out better Let us once get into ouh heads that those around us are as uncomfortable- perhaps more so-than we are our selves and the tfefd for kindness broad ems. says The New Orleans Times Democrat.
 The woman who would not have energy to go into the highways and by- ways to do summer kindnesses can find them right at home.
 Do you know the joy of having a few flowers sent to you when sick or suf- fering from the heat? Yet there are women with yards full of lovely flow CTS who are either too lazy or too sell fish to remember the pleasure they would give a sick friend or some pa tient at a public hospital.
 If you are the fortunate possessor of an automobile, lots of your friends are not, remember the benefit you could give some friend who is cramped in a little house and hardly has an oppor- tunity to get enough pure, fresh air, one such act will help brighten many a weary day.
 Many families have large houses in the city with large galleries and beau tiful lawns. Just think what boon to some friends if you offered the use of the house for the summer provided 1t be well taken care of during use, or if your neighbor is not going away and has no nice large porch how much enjoyment they could have, if. when you leave for the summer You think to offer them the use of your porch and leave several (not expensive) chairs on the porch.
 If you know women who cannot af- ford to go away. even for few days, invite them to your home for lunch or dinner, and get up the daintiest, coolest meal you can for them. If they have children persuade them to leave them at home. if possible. If that cannot be, have some one amuse the little ones out of sight of the tired mother or relative. Do not get too warm and engrossed with your own comfort and pleasure to remember the happiness you can give others. It Is not always necessary to do big things, for after all the little things tell, as the thoughtfulness which we dignify by the name of kindness, Is what helps make summer more endurable for our selves and others.

NEATNEss AND
REFINEMENT

.
 There ts no more pronounceS r,.r,- or lady ,scrupulous neatness i oo not mean cleanliness by this state ment for 1t Is taken for ganted that every girl is clean. but I mean an saaed touch which. comes from innate
 It Is an astonishing fact that neat ness in details of dressing is a rarity. Tnere may not be holes or tears. but 2 pm taking the place of stitch will oestroy every atom of smartness and make the wearer appear sloveniy.
 Fersons who are obliged to count the cost of living closely know that perIect eieaniines, in the extreme sense of the word. is an expensive lux ury. Either money or time must be consumed in achieving it. and the pur- suit Is endless. No sooner is some arti- Gle Of wearing apparel in condition then another requires attention. or else the first needs renovating at the end Of the day. When laundry bills are to be considered. it is only by washing many little pieces that a girl can keep her accessories in con dftfon. and. as many can tell, 1t can not be counted diversion to stop to wash necktie when one Is tried and wants sleep.
 Even so. scrupulously fresh tie is to be regarded as important. not as
 
 town observe those among whom she Is associated and see how infinitely better the one looks whose neck wear is Immaculate. which Is some- thing more than clean. The same is true of her hands. 1t Is not enough that they shall be merely mot dirty" Should she be willing to take the trnu. 'ble she can keep them white. even though working with cartoons or type writers. It takes time. of course, and work. but it can be done. and that she instinctiyely makes the effort to achieve this shows Q girl to have the highest kind of refinement.
 Sloppy" is not a pretty word, but 1t precisely describes a type of girl often seen in business houses and else where. Everything she wears Is clean. but 1t Is put on in any old fashion. and more often than not is cruInpled. Such a girl Is not immaculate as to gar ments, and she lacks both distinction and an air of good breeding. ! The idea some seem to have that a bit of lace or ribbon tackled on will cover soil or creases Is a mistake. Or namentation only adds to the undesi- rable effect, and may even create, an impression of tawdriness. The smart est and best bred girls wear immaeu- late severely made garments whan working, leaving fripperies for other occasions.

IS LOVE CRITICAL?

Although in the big things of life the things that really matter. love is generous and forgiving. in the minor faults and small failings lovers are very critical. Little acts of careless ness will vex one grievously, says clever writer. If there Is one thing more than another that a man hates it Is waiting for half an hour or so while the girl of his choice is getting ready In the fret and fume thus occasioned. he might begin to wonder if he has chosen wisely. Always be brisk and punctual If you are keeping an ap- pointment with the man you love. Make a special effort to please him, and do not relax this effort when the nup- tial knot has been tied. So many wives make the mistake of thinking that 1t doesn't matter afterwards. It does. Very much so. You should always re- serve your sweetest smile for your husband, always give him of your best, be gentle and sweet tempered toward him. His very love for you makes him critical. remember. Do not take ad- vantage of 1t and think that he is blind to every fault.

pcrtunity for pardon rob departure
 or death of something of its bitter nesss And yet. in the radiance of sorrow or death. is 1t toward truth or error that one has taken the last steps one is allowed to take.
 Is 1t the living or the dying who can see and who are in the right? Thrice happy are those who have thought. spoken and acted so as to receive the whom great sorrow has given a clearer insight.
 We must learn to live in a beauty, an earnestness that shall have be- come part of ourselves. In life there is no creature so degraded but. knows full well which Is the noble and beau tiful thing to do. but thts noble and beautiful things is not strong enough within him.
 It Is this invisible and abstract strength that it must be our endeavor to increase first of all, And this strength increases first In those who have acquired the habit of resting more frequently than others upon the sum- mits where life absorbs the soul. upon the heights whence we see that every act and every thought are in- failibly bound up with something great and immortal
 Look upon men and things with the eye of the soul. never forgetting that the shadow they throw as they pass by. upon hillock or wall IS but the fieetinR image of a mightier shadow which. like the wing of an imperish- able swan, floats over every soul that draws near t" their soul.
 Do not believe that thoughts such as these can be mere ornaments and those who admit them.

THE ovER-ANx1oUs HOSTESS

Did you ever visit in house
 where your hostess fussed over
 you to such an extent that you wished to goodness you had never come. are well-meaning hostesses of that type. and they wear their guest to frazzles before she has been twenty four hours in the house. Z They ask every few minutes what they can do; they fear you are not comfortable. and they make you mis- erably conscious that your arrival has | upset the whole house. Also--and keep apologizing for the | taste-they keep apologizing for the entertainment offered. In the first place. never invite A guest to your house unless you gen. | timely want her. Forced hospitality Is no compliment.
 When the guest arrives. make her
 heartily welcome. and do not think | that you must sit and entertain her | every minute.
 Remember that while she Is with you her bedroom belongs to her. not | to you; so never enter 1t without knocking first.
 Don't apologize for your table. nor | for anything in the house; give her l the best you can, and that Is all any | one can do.
 make neT unueTstauu your tiiHe is a ' l her disposal. but don't force yourself on her. Let her go to her room for an hour or two in the afternoon if she cares to. If she likes to have breakfast in her own room. see that
 she has it; it will give you leisure to attend to your morning household
 duties and probably Is a treat to her. Don't fill her ears with complaints
 of your husband or your neighbors; let her enjoy the impression that your life is a pleasant one: 1t will
 heighten the pleasure of her visit ten-
 fold.
 Don't let the children bother her; they may be the marvels of the age to you, but she does not know their wonders. and has come to visit you,
 not them.
 Don't make her conscious that
 her coming has changed the ordinary
 routine of your life. occasionally visit an old school
 friend who fusses over me to such an
 extent that I am sure she goes to bed
 to recuperate after I am gone. If she
 would be content to let me enjoy her
 society, would have a delightful visit
 but she is possessed to entertain me.
 and we are on the "go'' every minute.
 If you want to enjoy your guest
 and have her enjoy her visit just leave
 her to herself, after you have made
 her thoroughly welcome and at home. Don't make her wish she had not come by fussing over her. And don't let her have the horrible feeling that you are spending mora
 on her entertainment than you can af- ford.

GIRLS SHOULD NOT KEEP
 OR WRITE SILLY LETTERS

A wise old philosopher once said. Never write letter and never de- stroy one" But modern life has proved that 1t Is as wise to destroy as to leave unwritten.
 Under the stress of many emo- tional occasions, girls are prone to write foolish letters, and men, too. for that matter. And often the results are mortifying. Friendships are broker by hasty letters written in the heat of anger says a writer in The Phil adelphia Evening Times.
 Ridicule and unhappiness follow close upon unwise love letters and who has not heard the pitlfully foolish fstters of a married man or woman
