new WINTER WAISTS

How beautiful the new winter waists

And for that portion of femininity who
bow before exquisite Iaces, enthusiasm
borders on rapture. For the waist with
out touch of lace-and usually a gen

The lingerie waist, which is never over

By DOROTHY DIX.

Old Mother Nature. who concerns her
self with the good of the race and not the
happiness of the individual, almost in
variably gives TO men and women en-
dOwed with these opposite characteristics
a fatal fascination for each other, so that
they marry each other and live scrappily
ever afterward.
Don't be misled into believing that
marriage is some sort of magic sooth-
ing sirup that softens down all the angles
in peoples dispositions, and makes those
who have always disagreed on every sub
3 ject able to agree as soon as the knot Is
tied.
Take it from me as a sure tip that
the matrimonial yoke isn't a patent ad-
Unstable collar. It's the most stiff and
. unytelding stock that was ever invented.
! and the most liable to gall. Also, peo-
! pie are not changed by having the mar
! riage service read over them. AS they
, were before wedlock in character and
disposition. so they are in wedlock. Only
little more so.
Pick Out Kind YOu Want.
Therefore. If you wish to be happy
though married, pick out the kind of a
wife you want, instead of marrying the
one who is exactly the sort of a woman
you don't approve OF, and then trying to
make her over into your ideal. Believe
me, that is a painful process, the end
whereof is generally Reno.
OF course, it is part of every mans
vanity TO believe that his wife is going
to be as plastic as clay in his hands,
and that he can mold her character to
suit his own fancy. Never was there a
greater fallacy on earth than this. By
the time a girl Is old enough to marrT
she has hardened into the sort of
IL IT,
change the color of her eyes, or the
shape of her face easier than you could
her tastes and beliefs and standards of
conduct.
The question Of whether she is going
to be Independent or clinging sensible
or a fool broad minded or narrow and
prejudiced. thrifty or a spendthrift is
already settled, and no mere man can
alter the verdict. She's there to take
or leave, but she is there.
In my opinion the reason there is so
much domestic misery all about us is
chiefly because so many men do the
thing you are tempted to do-marry
women who are one thing and then ex-
pect them to be something else. We
should think man a candidate for a
lunatic asylum If he bought a grand
piano and then complained because it
was not a cook stove when he got it |
home
Ridiculous Expectation.
But that is no more unreasonable than |
for a man to marry a girl because she is
q beautiful butterfly Of fashion. and then
blame her because she is not a thrifty.

more ridiculous than for a man to pic,
