FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

The number OF recreant wives Is in
creasing at a serious rate. and those who
have taken the trouble 10 study the sit
uatiOn find the cause TO lie in the neglect
OF husbands and the devotion Of other
men. Not that men viii admit neglect
bless you. they think they are doing their
fun duty In providing a home which the
wife runs. and spending money in other
ways for what they believe 70 be the best
interests OF their women. But after ali,
women are the best judges Of what con-
tributes to their happiness, and II they
place companionsh!p above other consid-
erations. there Is nothing more to say.
We can never get over this fact-men
have never considered themselves called
upon 70 alter their habits to any great
extent after taking a wife, for marriage
is an incident with them. The average
husband has his club or lodge. and his
snusements in which his wife can take
no part He feels privileged 10 remain
away from meals-with or without an ex-
cuse-and take holidays with his friends.
But he resents the absence OF his wife
when he chooses TO be at home. and has
objections TO the continuance OF friend
ships formed In her spinster days.
There are cases where wives are best
pleased when the husbands are absent,
but not when marriage has been founded
upon affection Usually wife looks for
ward 70 the hours her husband may
spend with her, and when he elects 20
pass them away from home he places her
at the mercy OF the first courteous man
who comes along. know she should be
strong TO resist temptation-that Is the
usual argument I believe-but she is not,
and that fact must be accepted with the
other. Human nature is just what It al
ways has been. full OF weakness
The occasional ungrateful woman. who
betrays a husband who has done his best
by her. is too base 20 be forgiven. She
is unworthy one thought OF a good man,
yet by perversity OF fate she fares better
than the woman who has some cause for
her faithlessness. Usually the man with
most 70 forgive yields promptly 10 his
better feelings. From a woman's point OF
view. II is easy 20 keep a wife contented
and happy. but man processes 20 find
womanhoOd too much OF puzzle TO solve.
u may Dc FEMININE 10 want 70 rule, but
it IS also a trait OF the sex to give IN
when We are made TO believe that we are
having our own way. Is not that easy for
anybody 10 master?
I happen to be fortunate in knowing a
large number OF eontented wives. women
whose husbands are devoted and consid-
crate. I often wonder how much OF that
is due TO masculine tact in giving way in
small matters and settling large ones ac-
cording TO their own judgment, IN Sc
curing privileges by pleasant methods.
rather than by taking them as rights.
Some OF these men have their clubs and
little parties with members OF their own
sex. and the wives are glad that they en-
Joy themselves. There IS management
somewhere, without doubt. Perhaps these
men remember that while they are out

things almost hourly women are going

COSTUME NOTES.

Prom vog1s.
IN the shops lately have been seen the
following, which might prove suggestive:
A net waist, over which is worn a sort
OF bOlero Of natural color linen, hand
embroidered IN brown.
A light blue satin cape, with a cloth Of
gold collar. The same effect might be
gotten with broadcloth.
A long. ulster-like coat Of lavender
linen, instead OF the more usual linen
color It is perfectly plain and cool look
ing
A lingerie gown which was supposed TO
be light blue The waist however, was
almost entirely OF white embroidery.
A wedding gown trimmed with silver
bugling, notable because Of the arrange
ment Of this bugling. reminiscent Of me
dieval armor, and became Of the fact
OF using silver trimming upon the tradi-
uona4ly white dress Of the bride.
Numerous shoulder capes for elderly
women much trimmed with lace and
braiding and ACCORDION pleated rufles

From the Chicago Record Herald
one OF the latest things from Paris IS

It is certainly decidedly youthful look
Ing.
Almost too youthful. in fact. for per
sons who are not entitled 70 wear -
II Is just a long-waisted frOck tied
around with a broad sash
muslin.
The sash should be light blue or pink,
with a wide bow in the back.
The skirt Is short, couple OF inches
OF the ground.
There IS no other trimming. unless Z,
be a BIT OF fringe for the sash.
The whole idea is a childish frock on a

Shake the powder onto the hair from the

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile during his
term as President, much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufac-
turers for the honor Of. selling him q
car and the public watched with in
terest to see what Mr.. Taft's choice
would be-. The knowing ones predicted
that the White Steamer would be se-
lected and they pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had used White Steam
ers for two years at his summer home
at Oyster Bay and had recommended
this make to Mr.. Taft as the most de-
sirable. =
This prediction proved correct. al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation.
hut, with his usual thoronghness, de-
termined to have an investiS cation
made of all the principal makes. Ac-
cordingly, he asked several officers Of
the War Department to look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes of cars, visited a number Of
factories SO that they might see what
materials were used, and. finally, they
investigated the records OF the differ.
ent types OF cars in public contests
and in private service.

Steamer, except that his car has the
United States coat.of-arms painted
on either door. In other words,
when we make car for the Prest
dent of the United States there Is no
way In which we can make 1t any
better than the car which you. or
anybody else. can purchase from us.
"Some Of those writing to me
about Mr. Taft's car say that, al.
though they are very DESTROYS OF
having car like Mr.. Taft's, they
are afraid that such q car Is some
what larger and more expensive than
they desire. In reply to such letters,
i point out that our Model o. 20
horsepower car is exactly like our
40 horsepower model, except as re-
CARDS the size Of the different parts.
The principle of construction Is, exc
actly the same and the smaller car
possesses all the desirable qualities
Of our larger model. In other words.
one can secure an exact duplicate OF
Mr.. Taft's car for $4,000. or car Of
the same qualities, but of smaller d.
mansions, for only $4,000. Judging BY
the demand for White cars. a good pro
portion OF those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Taft's judgment as to the
best and most desirable make"
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1909-04-09

When their labors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr.. Taft In favor of the White, and.
accordingly, a car OF this make was
Immediately ordered from the manu-
facturers, The White Company OF
Cleveland.
The new car was delivered to Mr..
Taft In Washington q few days be-
fore his inauguration and since that
time 1t has been in almost constant
use. There has not been a day when
the President or some member OF
his family have not been seen riding
around the National Capital in the
new car. It is limited that Mr.. Taft
likes fast travelling and that when
he rides out into the open country. he
does not always insist that the speed
OF the car be kept within the legal
limits.
