No Ermine Tails
Are Proper Now

"Al1 the tails must be taken from
your erniine," said furrier, the other
day, ''or, rather. they must not be put
there in the first place"
II you notice the very latest fmporta-
tions YOU will find that no black lines
mar the smooth surface Of an ermine
stole or muff. What is done with the
tails? All, that is a very reasonable
question.
Well, they are used as a straight
fringe at the bottom Of a long scarf.
They are combined with lace or beads
to form ornaments for a hat. Or they
are used 10 outline the yoke and sleeves
OF an evening gown. Be assured that
they are not thrown away; only, tall
less errntne Is the thing for this season.

Sprinkle Clothes
With WhiSk Broom

A whisk broom kept especially for the
purpose is very helpful in sprinkling
clothes.
When lamp wicks grow stubborn and
will not work easily, pull out a therad
from each edge. This makes the wick
smaller and easier to manage.
IT will soon be ''draught time" when
the wind will come whistling round
our doors and sills. A long, fat sand
bag at the door will keep a room free
from draughts.
Rub fresh lard over new tinware, heat
1t in the oven befofe using, and you
need never worry about its rusting.

Newspaper Used
For Coat Hanger

An emergency coat hanger when you
are away from home is easily made by
tightly rolling a newspaper, tying It Sc
curely in the middle with heavy cord,
and finishing with a cord loop to at
tach it to a convenient hook or nail.
This is a thousand times better for the
nearest available place, and is contrived
IN a minute with materials always at
hand.

Old Maids
Find a Paradise
In New York City
BY DOROTHY DIX.

But the minute she sets foot I'm New
York the old maid is free to realize for
herself that dream OF every woman's
life, place Of her own, where she may
have the kind of wall paper she wants
and cook things the way she likes
them.
Nobody criticises her. Nobody thinks
It strange-with an emphasis on the
strange Nobody suggests that be-
cause she has established her own tea
pot, instead Of having to drink the
dregs out of her sisters or her sister,
in-law's that she must be leading the
double life.
On the other hand. New York recos-
nizes II as most natural and commend
able that every woman should desire
and have her own Lares and Penafes
under her own roof, and no invitations
bachelor-Eaid households.
Furthermore, in New York the old
maid and the old bachelor come nearer
10 standing on a common platform than
they do anywhere else in the world, and
mere Is scarcely an advantage, or even
pleasure OF the city, that is not as
free to the one as to the other, Even
Mrs. Grundy takes a large and liberal
view Of the situation, and reIaxes the
iron-bound rules as to conventions that

Result of Growth
Of Individualism.
The colonization of such masses of un-
attached women in New York is the d.
rect result Of the growth of individual
ism among women In the past, the
woman who did not marry and have a
home and husband and children OF her
own, was felt to have somehow for
feited her rights to any of the cakes and
ale Of life.
She was supposed to find all the pleas
ure and freedom she craved in living on
sufferance in a brothers or sisters
house, darning the stockings, taking
care OF the children, and spending her
and nephews.
The modern old maid refuses to be
thus offered up as a sacrifice on an
others altar. She wants a life Of her
own, interests of her own. the good
things that her own work or money
buys. She can't have them in Oshkosh,
or Kalamazoo, or Birds Center, where
people are still saying what a pity 1t is
that poor Jenny never got married, and
where sister Caroline thinks that she
should desire no liveIier amusement
than watching the baby while sister
c. goes to the bridge club, and that she
should prefer to spend her money on
giving Tommy a pony rather than buy
ing herself a new hobble skirt.
But New York offers the old maid In
terests, anusements. a home Of her
own, and an intricate world of woman's
clubdom, all that she has got the talent
to take, and the money to pay for. It's
the old maids paradise, where relatives
cease from troubling, and the neigh
bors' tongues are at rest.
Praise be to Allah, for such a sane
tuary! .-.---.- - $3.50 .-..

appeal to the home

of the little labor

Agreeable to Live
Among Her Fellows.

Whatever the facts in the case, this
latter theory Is naturally a soothing
one to the spinsters' vanity. 1t is also
agreeable to dwell among those who re-
gard II as no reflection upon a woman s
charms for her not to be able to exhibit
some mans scalp as the result of the
prowess of her bow and spear, but who,
on the contrary are disposed to think
that the woman with a good profession,
or an ample income, and her own latch
key and Individual pocketbook, and no.
body with a legal right to tell her of
her faults, has, as st. Paul said, chosen
the better part
New York also offers to the unmar-
ried woman a degree of freedom in liv-
ing that she can have nowhere else. In
other places, and particularly in small
cities and rural communities, woman
without a husband never outgrows the
chaperone age. Although she may, in
reality, be long past the time when,
like a Lady Kew's daughter, she is
forty years old and has heard all there
is to tell, public opinion still holds that
she must live in somebody else's house

A WAC once declared that all good
~ Americans went to Paris when
~ they died.
In like manner, it may be said
that all good old maids come to New
York when they die. II they are really
clever and good for much, they don't
wait to die before they come. They
come while they are still alive. and able
to enjoy the terrestrial paradise Of the
spinster
No other city in the world shelters so
many unattached women, and the num-
Der grows every year by leaps and
bounds. for word has been passed along
the line Of spins that New York is the
really and truly only Mecca for the un-
married woman; the only place where a
woman without a husband Is frankly
regarded more as an object of envy than
a subject for pity.
AS result, every unapnroprfated
blessing the country over, who has the
price, packs her trunk and hikes out for
the promised land where woman has
the right to stay single, or double, as
she pleases, without having to stand
for the contemptuous comments Of her
acquaintance.
Goddess of Liberty
Stands As Guard.
Not by accident does that eternal old
maid' the Goddess Of Liberty, stand
guard at the gateway of New York.
She Is symbol Of the freedom that the
greatest city in America offers to the
spinster.
The hegira of married women to
New York has been accomplished so
quietly that few people realize how great
1t has been. or how large is the colony
of husbandless ladies. but they are
counted by the tens Of thousands. and
still their number grows.
To begin with, there is an army of
professional women writer's, artists, ac-
tresses, designers, stenographers, buy
ers, and so on, who naturally find New
York the best market for their talents
Beside these, however, there is a legion
Of women who do not have to work,
women who are rich, or well-to-do, who
have simply come to New York to live
because this city Is the one place In
which lone, lorn woman suffers no in
convenience from not having a man tied
to her apron string, or Miss" on her
visiting card
The reason for this is easy to find
in New York the unmarried woman oc-
cupies an entirely different status from
that which she holds In any other place.
Elsewhere, and especially in the prov
inces, there Is a tacit belief that when
woman Is a spinster she is one by
force of circumstances-in a word, that
she didn't marry because she couldn't
New York assumes that the old maid
is an old maid by choice, and that she |
