QUESTION ASKED TEACHES
WOMAN WONDERFUL LESSON
Given Time for Introspecton. Herald Readers Are
Surprised to Learn the One Great Desire that
Dominates Their Beings and Spells Happiness.
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI,

The cynic would be disappointed in the
to me in answer to the question: IF you
could pray you a prayer, or wish you
Just one wish, and have it granted, for
what would you ask?"
The fact Of the matter is that strong
predictions were made concerning what
the majority Of the readers of The
Herald Page for Every Woman would
have to say concerning the subject
why" declared a mere man, ''of
course they will wish for wealth. The
dominating passion of the American race
is for money-getting and money spend
ing"
Small Percentage Wish for Wealth.
But so far it hasn't been ''of course
at all.
In fact but a small percentage Of either
men or women have written me that they
would ask for wealth could they have
their one great wish granted. OF this
small percentage the majority have been
men. Among hundreds of letters there
are Just three from women who give a
big fortune of gold as the main desire
of their lives.
There is not a man or woman anywhere
worlds goods to assure them comfort
and freedom from financial worries, but
when the question is put to them frankly
of the dominating passion of their ex-
istence, money consideration pales be-
side other desires of the human heart.
What a wonderful lesson your ques-
tion has taught me, my dear Mrs. Manz," ="
writes Miss Phoebe French.
Had l been forced to answer the in
terrogation offhand. I doubtless would
have expressed a wish for tremendous
wealth, but, given time to look into my
heart, 1 find that this is not the thing
at all.
Cannot Buy Religion or Love.
Il mentally enumerated the things in
life that gold cannot purchase, and found
mat they involve all the things that seem
TO me worth while-health and religion,
and love, for instance.
81 presume it would not be permis
sible to answer your question with such
a generality as happiness?
For happiness is an individual thing,
bought for every individual with diff
ferent coin.
For one woman motherhood might full
fill her greatest joy, while to another 1t
might be the glitter and glare Of a
social life, fitting through the world
like a gilded butterfly. !
so, for the individual the question
narrows down to what will bring them
the greatest happiness, and for me the
answer lies in one word-spirituality.
Would Ask for Righteousness.
''If I could pray me a prayer, then,
and have that one prayer granted, 1
would ask first for the kingdom of Coz
and His righteousness and all these
things would be added unto me-
Another woman tells me that she would
build homes for little motherless chill
dren, out where the winds sweep the
fields, and where there would be enough
daisies to fill every little hand that now
has to work away childhood.

HOW THE WHITE
ROSE CAME.

By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
The roses all were pink and red
Before the humble bee,
A lover bold. with cloak Of gold,
Came singing merrily
Along the sunlit ways that led
From woodland and from lea.
He paused beside an opening rose,
The gardens pet and pride;
She burst in flower That very
hour,
While wooing zephyrs sighed;
No smile had she for one Of those
And hope within them died.
The ardent butterfly In vain
On radiant wings drew near;
The hapless moth In vain grew
wroth-
The fair rose leaned to hear
The deep-voiced strangers low
refrain
That thrilled upon her ear.
She gave her heart in loves de-
light
And let the whole world see.
But, ahi one day. away, away.
Sped truant humble bee:
Twas then the red rose turned to
white
50 was the tale told me.

FASHIONS PANCIES
OF FRENCH SHOPS
Seen at the Races and Water
ing Places.

A new idea seen at the races and a
the favorite watering places is the liner
frock Of white trimmed with q contrast
ing color. This is Of linen and can bs
plain, striped, or checked.
A chic little dress Of this characte,

noon. 1t was Of white linen. eyelet en-
broidery, and trimmed with an under.
skirt of blue. The tunic was slashed ur
at one side and trimmed with blue ova
| crocheted buttons on each side.
The bodice was of white, with a very
deep circular collar OF blue lined with
white and trimmed with buttons The
kimono sleeves were treated in similar
manner.
Under them was a full puffed sleeve OF
blue chiffon that carried out the color
idea and at the same time softened the
straight, trying line Of the kimono cuff
sash of blue chiffon, striped with blue
linen, finished the scheme. Frenchy? I,

Serge Has Fine Twill.
Martial & Armand are fond of showing
serge in a fine twill and in the mos,
attractive designs for little outing suits
Sailor styles are in evidence, the revers
and collars growing larger every week.
Thick cords of satin, linen, silk, or cot
ton are used to form braided designs on
the bottom of skirts, on collars and cuffs
and even on the brims Of large fabric
hats.
Buttons trim the skirt Of plain tailored
suits. Do not forget to open the silk
skirt at the left side over a contrasting
underskirt. At last the hobble skirt has
been evicted.
Some of the latest jabots are pleated
and gathered upon a pleated ribbon in
some bright color, such as cerise, emerald.

Pleated tulle is also in favor for ruf1es
on collars and cuffs.
Long handles are characteristic of the
newest sunshades. Contrasting Innings
of chiffon or silk are used on the linen

china silk. These, with the lovely lin
gerie hats shown in the best shops, make
cool, attractive costumes for the little

The Lingerie Frock.
The combination of broderie anglaise
English eyelet embroidery, You know
with mousseline de sole in colors is one
that must not be overlooked when PLAN
ming lingerie frocks of the dressy type
There are bands Of the colored muslin
or deep hens under tunics, and there is
always a suggestion OF the color on
sleeves and bodies. A cord or a silk or
muslin sash defines the waist line.
Fflet over color is another suggestion
for the summer gown. Pale rose is the
shade combined with white. Perhaps 1t
is an afterglow Of the rage for cerise.
Flowered organdies, muslins, and ba-
tistes are rapidly forging to the front
of new materials. They are woven In
bordered effects and are beautiful

What is grownup?


III sic and Dorothy played grownup.
What is grownup?
Well, I will tell you. You see, Mrs.
Perkins, Dorothy's mother, had
loaned the girls two of her old
dresses and they had arrayed them
selves just for all the world like
grownup people would do, and how
funny they looked.
Of course, the dresses were much
too long and the little girls were con-
stantly tripping over them, but they
did not mind. for somehow It seemed
really grand to be grownup like NAM
ma.
Let US make call on Mrs. Eddy"
said Jessie as she gathered the long
gray dress up from the ground.
"And we will tell her we were Just
passing and thought we would drop
in" added Dorothy seriously.
And 20 they started down the front
steps very slowly, because If they had
gone fast they surely would have
tumbled down.
Down towards the other end of the
street they went. laughing and talk

"Oh-perhaps she will" cried Doro-

rived at Mrs Eddy's house.
They gathered their skirts up and
slowly made their way up the broad
front steps.
Then Dorothy reached up and gave
the bell little tug.
They looked just as serious as two
little old ladies.
And then the door opened and Mrs.
Eddy was before them. "How do
you do, Mrs. Eddy" began Dorothy,
Eve just thought we would drop in to
call"
"Why, I am delighted to see you,
won't you come right in3" said Mrs.
Eddy graciously, as she made way for
them to enter.
And Dorothy and Jessie passed in
through the door to the parlor.
Mrs. Eddy was just fine, for she
played they were real ladies all the
time and they stayed for over an
hour.

had lots of fun?

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March G.--The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged prices
to an advance of points. which was con-
sidered a little better than due on the
cables, but soon weakened under local
selling and scattering liquidation. with
prices during the middle of the morning
showing a net loss of about jaS points.
There seemed to be an apprehension that
some of the larger longs were reducing
lines and the market was very unsettled
during the middle of the morning.
Possibly reports that uncertainty as to
the action of Congress on tariff matters
and the reciprocity bill during the extra
session called for April 4, would prevent
any revival of domestic dry goods trade
in time to affect the old crop situation ac
counted for some of the early selling
which sent prices down about dollar a
bale from the opening figures. and to a
net loss of from . to II points. with May
touching 14.30,or ~ points below the high
point of last Thursday. Stop loss orders
were uncovered on this decline. and after
the execution the market rallied or Z

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The local stock market was dull to-
day There was but little demand either
for the bonds or for the stocks listed.
What buying there was consisted Of small
lots of stocks. There were some orders
for five and ten share lots and for one
and two share lots both in gas stock and
in the Washington Railway preferred,
and these were filled at current prices
and without exhausting the apparent sup
ply.
Buying of that sort is usually looked
upon as inves .ment buying, which is al
ways considered an excellent feature of
the market, although it does not lead to
as large an array of transactions as bust
ness that comes frcm speculative sources.
A transaction was recorded in the flVe-
percent bonds of the Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon railway, one
bond selling for 95,H, which is half a
point above the current bid price. The
asking price at the close was 81, While
the bid was %.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. March 6.-Weak cables
formed depressing influence today in
the wheat market here. The result was
scattered commission-house selling, main
" for longs. Lack OF strength in Euro
pean prices appeared to be due TO heavy
world shipments and TO favorable crop re-
ports from India and the Argentine. The
market here. however, showed tendency
TO rally, owing to the fact that primary
receipts this season have been 21.OOO.OUO
bushels less than last year. whereas ex-
ports are of but 23.OOO.0OO bushels. Open
ing figures were Is to Is down. May
started at 91ss to 91l2 a loss of Il to sc.
declined to 91i.a91A and recovered to
915sa912.
Corn turned upward on purchasing by
pit traders. after initial weakness caused
by sympathy with wheat. May opened a
shade TO isah easier at 4Si. to 4sAs, and
then rose to 49a49ls.
Oats were fairly active. but wholly
swayed by the action of corn and
wheat. May started i. to Il lower, at
30ss TO 30lz. and rallied to 3Oasa3Os&
Higher prices for hogs lifted pro-
visions. First sales were unchanged
10 IizalO up, with May options at
1870 for pork. $50 for lard and go
10 9.62L. for ribs.
