GIVE HIM Hls KIND OF a RESI-.

Business women always assert that
business women make the best wives.
And when the home. girls bristle up
about It, their working sisters are
ready with long list OF reasons. The
one most appealing to men Is that OF

In the little trying times Of business

How can girl who has never had

day know the feeling of utter gone
ness" that comes when that work Is
over? they ask. Or know the absolute
need for relaxation. the temper on raw
edges, the longing OF both brain and
body for rest?
And that's not the rest to be gained
by dressing up" and going out to din
ner, or bridge OF a dance. it's the
kind that can be wooed only In soft
negligee, In the quiet OF ones own
porch, In the cool rush OF air out on

Getting Off Car Backwards Only
Perfectly Natural Way For Women

and women commenced to demon
strate their predisposition to climb
of backwards" with resultant
smashups. indignation, hurt pride, law
suits and the like.
Here's the reason. discovered and
admitted by a woman. The real rea-
son Is a physical one. Getting OF
backwards Is the only perfectly ma
tural way for woman to get of, what
ever the disastrous results may be.
Did you ever watch a mother car
rying her baby? II you never did, you
may perhaps have watched the aver
age woman trot along with her arms
full Of bundles, or, II you are woman,
you have undoubtedly yourself either
carried packages or baby-maybe
both.
And II you are one OF the ninety
nine women out of q hundred, you
carry that baby In your left arm, the
packages In your left hand, your purse
In your left hand-not altogether, Of
course; but as far as possible; for,
while woman cannot be classed as a
"left-handed race" they carry their
burdens In the left hand and arm,
leaving the right free to pick up their
skirts or to defend themselves with
mayhap; whatever the reason, the
right arm Is left free. That perhaps
1t Is instinctively left free as a weapon
Of defense.
Therefore, passing up the preamble
and returning to the subject In hand,
namely, why does a woman get OF a
street car backwards" s.e does this
because when she leaves car, from In.
stinct, whether her leff hand IL really
occupied with packages or not, II is
supposed to be, and her trusty right
is her business hand. she therefore
takes hold Of the hand support with
her right hand instead OF her left,
which would face her correctly for
alighting from the car In the safe and
proper way, and she simply lets go
and drops on backwards.
No legislation. argument OF doc
tors and health savers will ever work
reform on women as to their method
or leaving street cars; whenever a
revolution Is worked along that line.
II will be when women study the mat
ter from physical point of view, and
train themselves along new and differ.
ent lines.

AT THE BELLE ISLE
BATHING BEACH
"check this please, mister"

"Check this please, mister"
A little codger at the bathing beach
at Belle Isle solemnly handed over a
single penny. The cost to the city OF
checking Is a half cent, but II gladly
accommodates all Its patrons, from the
man with the diamond stick pin TO the
little fellow with his pennies. Com
missioner Myrtle p. Hurlbut. OF the
department OF parks and boulevards,
says II Is not at all unusual for boy
at the beach TO leave as small an
amount as a penny In charge Of the
checkroom while he enjoys a swim.
When the bath house was built It
was thought II would be large enough
for many years, but the rapid growth
OF the city and the popularity or the
beach have resulted IN It's being I'm
adequate already. Free suits, laund-
cred thoroughly after every time used,
and free towels are provided for the
small boys who cannot AFFORD to pay
for them. To those who wish simply
suits, towels and locker for their
clothes. a charge OF five cents Is made,
and to those who wish q room by
themselves, ten cents. Thus the beach
with all It's accommodation Is prac-
tically free to all.
An annoying and dangerous prac'
tice that Commissioner Hurlbut has
found reason to complain OF Is that OF
careless boatmen who row their boats
In among the bathers. Not only dc
row boats intrude among the swim
mers, but canoes and motor boats
plough around them. Commissioner
Hurlbut thinks this is the result Of
thoughtlessness and that once the at
tention OF the boatmen Is called to II
the practice will cease.

On the average Of once In q billion
years some other sun approaches quite

that at the time OF the formation OF
this earth another sun was near to ouI

the great power OF gravitation OF our
sun.
The missiles thrown from the sun
were drawn away ins,ead Of being
drawn back as ordinarily. They were
left whirling with uncomfortable
rapidity in space. These continuous

SECRET OF THE AMERICAN
WOMAN'S CHARM

Foreigners are impressed by the
peculiar attractiveness OF American
women" writes Grace M. Gould In the
August Woman's Home Companion.
They say that. next to their own wo-
men, II is the American woman who
charms the most.
"Now. why Is this so?
1T Is because of the infinite variety
OF the American woman, which pleases

monotonous. II the first, last, and

'blue-stocking' girl, who looks al MIN

from her he turns to demure,
mouse-like maiden, whose infrequent
gaze Is soulful, and who says little,
but who says It so intensely! The
firtatious girl and the athletic girl
