GOOD MANNERS A
STRONG FACTOR

One Of the chief characteristics Of my
ideal man is that he must be gallant and
have free, easy manners. By this I do
not mean the fictitious kind simply cul-
tivated to survive the sweetheart days,
but real thoughtfulness and attention to
those in his company, the kind love of
true honor and respect for noble wo-
manhood.
He must have a great regard for old
age. a strong character, high ideals. and
good business qualifications, must be
capable of serious and deep thoughts,
but at the same time possessing a quick
sense of humor and able to become in
terested in the more frivilous and lighter
subjects Of those around him.
He must be a great lover OF home life
and make me his real companion. enter
ing with me enthusiastically in the
smaller as well as greater joys of every
day life. My ideal man must not neces-
saf1ly be handsome. for I think possess
ing all. or even some of the uualifica-
tons named above, would have no
trouble in forgetting that he was not my
ideal in appearance. However, il I
should draw a picture Of him in my mind
he would be tall and rather slender, with
dark hair and eyes, but these attributes
would not be required to make my ideal
reality, SO with already a dream of
man too perfect. I fear. to ever come
true, will not demand more.

IDEAL MUST HAVE
STRENGTH, GOOD SENSE,
AND HONOR

Way down in the corner of every girls
heart is tucked away the image Of her
ideal man, the man she would marry.
If you ask her what he is like. very often
she will say he his handsome. rich and
, modern. and then she will stop. because
the rest is more sacred; but, sometimes.
she stops there Intentionally. thinking
that II these very important details are
provided for. the rest can be put up
with. But my ideal must be perfect in
a very different way
1t is true good-looking men, who can
dance well, ride well, play tennis and
sail boat are always attractive, but
these things are not essential From
earliest days women have admired
strength in men. Strength Of body.
strength Of mind, and moral strength.
My ideal must have strength, not the
strength which primitive women de-
manded, by which you could knock
down an adversary, but the more mod
ern bodily strength, which bespeaks tenn
perate living. clean thinking and healthy
instincts; and moral strength which can
resist temptations and do right despite
any difficulties. Then he must have good
sense, trustworthiness, broadmindedness,
fairmindedness, honor, courtesy and pu-
rity. Few men realize how dear cour-
tesy and honor are to the heart of every
woman; the little thoughtful acts which
only instinct can prompt, the kindness
which only true manhood can foster.
weak man is unjust, unkind, pas
sionate, Incorporate, Jealous and unre-
liable. while a strong man rises above
these petty sins and weaknesses, and
can be relied upon at all times, in all

BETTERMENTS FOR WOMEN
BEGAN WITHEARL Y,BAND
OF HEROIC SUFFRAGISTS

met with the assurance that they are
well protected as II is and have all the
rights and privileges they need.
| Now. everybody knows that legisla-
fures will not, cannot, arbitrarily nx a
uniform wage scale. sending woman S
1t wills. one way or the other. And what
ever else may follow in the trail OF the
ballot, 1t Is not likely that uniform pay
for men and women will be an immedi-
ate outgrowth. That will take time for
adjustment.
But there is a mighty force in the
mere matter Of example, and when a
woman once stands on the same level
with man, legally and politically, in
every State in the Union. it will not
need the vision or the wisdom of a seer
to predict many other changes that are
not directly dependent upon the vote.
History Aflay. Doubt.
II one doubts It. one need only turn
the pages of history, woman-hIstory, in
our own country. and noto how one
change In her status has brought about
another opportunity for growth.
Now, they tell US again that all these
betterments have come at the hands Of
individual legislatures, all made up Of
men who have yielded one thing after
another in the way OF better protection
to women, particularly married women.
But did you know that those better
ments did not begin. indeed, were not
deemed necessary. until that early
band of suffragists first pointed out ia
grant inequalities in the written and
the unwritten law and then went to
work to bring about improvement? Those
at an familiar with that bit of history
know the opposition and the abuse they
met. but, one after another, changes
were made. each step making It easier
for the next.
Human Thing to Do.
And as we read of women who work
for long. weary hours, day after day.
six days a week. for a weekly wage
less than five dollars, at least some OF
us feel that 1t is the human thing to
concede every step ahead that will
tend to make the way OF the working
woman a bit easier.
Women are in the world Of work.
hard. telling work, and If there is even
the barest chance of betterment by
reason Of equal status for all. it surely
is time that the last mark of differ
ence is wiped out for all time. Then
IL the wage scale is unchanged. IL no
hardships are cleared away 1t will not
be for lack Of trial.

To Help Nature Shed
a Bad Complexion
From the Family Physician.l

Beauty devotees are enthusiastic over
the beautifying qualities of mercolized
wax. Perhaps nothing discovered within
recent years accomplishes SO much, SO
quickly. without harm, without OBTAINING
one indoors, and at such small expense.
The principal reason for its wonderful
merit is that 1t works in harmony with
physiological laws. Instead of hiding or
touring" complexion defects, II removes
them. The wax actually takes OF the
aged, faded. sallow. or blotchy cuticle
gently. gradually. causing no inconveni-
ence. 1t is natures way Of renewing
compilations. When the natural process
is retarded because of deficient circula-
ton or nerve tone, mercolized wax
comes to the rescue and hastens the
skin shedding. The new complexion
WHICH appears IS a natural one, youthful.
healthy, exquisitely beautiful II you've
never tried mercolized wax, get an
ounce of 1t 1T the drug store, use il
at night like opld cream. washing II on
in the morning.
Another natural identifying treatment
for wrinkled. fiabby skin--is to bathe
the face in lotion made by dissolving
an ounce Of saxolite in half pint witch
hazel. This IL remarkably effective.

MUST BE ABLE TO
COOK, SCRUB AND SWEEP

The proper man to marry is the one
who is of an agreeable disposition and
who knows how to cook, scrub. and
sweep. A man who does not know how
to do these three necessities should not
be considered eligible for marriage. In
cases where a married man has not
these three requirements, how do mat
ters stand when his wife is i'll for a few
days? A servant is not always ar COM
mand 80. IL man can manage to get
breakfast, lunch and supper, and wash
the dishes, he is of great assistance no

stay home and mind the baby occasion

where. Some men may laugh at the
three qualifications I have named hut.
without them, girl exchanges an ad-
mirer for a regular boarder, IL she gets

smoke unless 1t be cigar. He should
not drink any intoxicating LIQUORS. or

is not afraid to soil his hands by fixing
the furnace or doing similar work is
the best one to marry.

Tho last report of the minimum wage
commission of Massachusetts brings to
light figures regarding the pay Of work
lngwomen in that State which are not
very reassuring II one is disposed to ask
how they live when the work day is
over, how they meet the necessary de-
mands Of dress. the peremptory calls OF
sickness and all the actual needs JUST
to keep life going.
For while the wage scale is lower Tor
women than for men. there Is no corre-
Eponding reduction In the cost OF living
Il is dollar for dollar all along the line
In retail stores so per cent OF the
women workers receive less than $s per
week, and in candy factories sS per cent
earn less than that low figure. In iaund-
ries and cotton mills there is similarly
large proportion receiving less than that
meager sum.
Earn Less Than s5 Weekly.
Figures are not interesting and We are
very prone to skip them unless there Is
some special reason for a look at their
meaning, and there is just such a reason
when we read that Al per cent of the
candy workers, 10.2 per cent of the sales
women, J61 per cent. of the laundry
workers. and q per cent. of the cotton
workers earn less than S. a week.

thing to put into their lives a new ele-
