PRAYING CAPS.
Chicago Women Adopt Them With

Chicago Women Adopt Them With
CoIors to Match the Hair.
"Praying caps" a recent departure
in women's headgear, are the out
growth of the recent hot weather in
Chicago.
The new millinery IL the outgrowth
Of the custom of women to go about in
hot weather without a head covering.
The women attending services, how
ever, discovered that they were violat-
ing the church rule which prohibits a
woman from entering without a head
covering. So the women got together
and devised the praying caps" They
are small, circular caps of black that
scarcely can be seen when perched on
top Of the heads Of dark haired women.
Lighter colored ones will be made
for the blond women who do not care
to wear conspicuous black headgear.
A supply Of the caps has been placed
inside the entrance Of one Of the
churches, and any woman who desires
to attend the services hatless may do
so in the future without fear of violst
ing church rules

for riches, taking ten minutes for
lunch, seldom off on a vacation, and
for what? For vulgar display,
great houses, so many houses that
they have no homes, sumptuous fur
nishings, costly quipages-these are
the things that seem to constitute
for the mass of American women a
perfect paradise-in prospect only;
for when the Eden is gained the hot
breath of a simeon has withered the
verdure and the flowers, dried up
the fountain and slain the singing
birds, and there is little more or no
domestic happiness or life.
Many a woman would be willing
to sacrifice for the sake of becoming
a mans wife, but most men who do
not marry on the pretext of economy
could If they were willing to sacri-
fee some of their luxurious habits
and were content to begin life with
simple, honest, wholesome comfort,
to be increased as life went on. But
no; they must start where their par
ents left off, they must cut a dash;
they love their pleasure too much to
sacrifice any portion of 1t for domes-
tic bliss.
The sentiment has become prev
alent that a man must make his for
tune before he marries, that his wife
must have no sympathy or share with
him in the pursuit of it. in which
most of the pleasure truly consists.
This is very unfortunate; it fills the
country with bachelors who are wait
ing, to make their fortunes, endan-
gering virtue and promoting vice; it
destroys the true economy and de-
sign of the domestic institution, and
encourages inef1ciency among wom-
en-, who are expecting to be taken up
by fortune and passively sustained
without any concern on their part.
Just as it is a mans duty to pro-
vide for his family, so it is the wo-
mans duty to adoTn it with all the
exeellences and graces OF good taste
and either by her own industry or
the well directed industry of those
who serve her to fill it with health
full influences of cleanliness, good
order and neatness, so that every
thing may minister to the comfort
and enjoyment of those she loves.
The state of life into which it has
pleased God to call our daughters is
plainly for the most part that which
entails the duties of the housekeep-

to the force of a better example were
the women to set 1t.
How can the wife whose husband
has limited income follow each new
fashion, and who shall condemn the
woman for dressing her very best
If young she helps to add to her
charms by varying her attire, and
when NO longer young she must
adopt with eagerness every kind of
attire which will charm away that
melancholy specter which throws its
shadow on the looking glass-old
age.
When men select women for wives
in quiet homes where domestic
graces prevail, the finery of the
world will sink into insignificance.
The most fascinating women are
those who can enrich the everyday
moments of life. The time was when
women of the very best society be-
came their husbands friends aud
companions, considered their inter
ests identical and did not hold them
as so much fair game and graft.
They made their houses their homes
and not mere passage places for van
ity to go through.
Give US women contented to be
what God and nature meant them to
be; but no, the ideal life set up by
the girl OF the period is plenty of fun
and luxury. Dress dwarfs her in
telligence, while virtue gives up the
ghost at her nod: fed to order, she
must be nursed like a baby and kept
from historical fit by a sugar plum.
Il may be a scandaIous thing to
say, but the scandal of the fact is so
much greater than the scandal of
confesSing il that / will risk criticism
for the statement of the fact; the
domestic life OF this country is in
an appalling condition Many a man
has given up all high ambition for
study, for self denying service of
his fellow men, stified the voice of
his conscience when it demanded sac
Tifiee, and devoted himself TO the one
object of gaining the wherewithal to
keep sunshine in his house by the un-
limited indulgence of fashion PAM
pered woman's fancies.

BY MADISON c. PETERS.

There are over 1000, 900 bachel-
ors-men past 80 years Of age-in
the United States who are not mar
ried, and the number OF them is con-
stantly on the increase. Why do
not these young men marry? VIII it
become so in the future that COM
paritively few men will marry?
Independent careers are becoming
more and more impossible to the
young men in our land; wo-
men, too, are filing positions
which men should occupy to
make homes; the salaries of our
young men even in good positions
are low, good salaries running from
$12 to $25 q week. How can a man
support a wife on the present-day
salafy?
Marriage is being effectually dis
greatly increased cost OF living,
both in town and country. Par
ents without fortunes support
their daughters in luxury and girls
expect to be thus cared for after
marriage. It costs more to sustain
such a girl than the average man
can earn, and the time is coming
when only the exceptionally FORUM
ate man can marry.
The inordinate passion for dress
is a terrific impeachment to marriage.
The love of refinement belongs to
woman. Every woman should be So
licitous to have her belongings well
chosen and to good taste. But it is
of excessive fashion as a foe to home
making that 1 write Benedict Ar
mold proposed to sell his country to
get money to keep up the extrava-
gance OF the home wardrobe. We
have surrendered elegant simplicity
for the Haunting trappings Com
mon sense seems to have forsaken

to figures compiled at the county
court house 1911 tax assessments
on Moline real estate show an aver
age increase Of approximately 16 per
cent over the figures for last year.

increases were on property IN the
