200 to Death After They Had
Surrendered.

Towelings

men and women stood silent and un- covered for a. moment then broke into applause that swept the stands. It IS small wonder that a team backed ali ways by such loyalty won even during years when it seemed much weaker than it's opponents.
 1T have heard opposing players de- clare they would rather face anything in the game than the grinding root ing of the Chicago South Side -ans. The only duplicate I know is the rasp- ing, nerve-racking, long Yale yell.
 .'Not all players are frank enough to admit that the roofing has any effect. Indeed it is a common pose to pre- tend that they do not even hear. But they do. Even among themselves they pretend they do not care; but once in a while they tell their inner feelings. They know that half the men who quit the major leagues are driven out by the voice of the fan. I have seen men break and go all to pieces, rave and swear and abuse everyone after suffering a cruel grilling by crowd.
 Waiter Wilmot, one of Anson's fa- nous old Chicago players, came to game on the old grounds fifteen years after retiring. He looked across to- ward the left field and said:

TO AID THE HOUsEkEEPER
THE GIRL THAT
 CHEAPENS HERSELF

He kissed me as matter of course," the sweet-faced girl said, when she was explaining why she was so familiar with a man who had no intention of marrying her. He said afterwards that all the girls he had gone with had let him, and they were all nice girls too, just as nice as I. And he had taken me out to the theatre and had shown me so much attention, and it had all cost so much that when he put on that surprised air, why I felt that I was in the WrOng.'
 There are young men, not too scrup- ulous, whom other girls have spoiled, who will kiss every pretty girl who will allow 1t. They are mean enough such return for whatever entertain ment they have offered. But a girl who can be deceived or moved by that kind of attitude has a vein of weak ness in her. Any young man worth marrying or worth. keeping as a friend will expect from a girl to whom he of fers some social courtesy, nothing but the pleasure -of. her society. The very fact that he says other girls have per mitted such familiaritieS should put the girl on her guard.
 But if I had held out,' objected the girl, "he would not have come again. He would have come again; he would have been piqued to think that here was one girl with whom he could not have his own way. And even if he had not come again, it would be clear gain to the girl, for she could have saved herself up for some one worth while. Any young man who speaks

IDA NJ. FARRELL SAYS SOCIAL ADVANCEMENT DEPENDS
 ON DRESS.

Tn an article in the August Ameri- can Magazine on "A Woman and Her Raiment," Ida M. Tarbell makes the following claim:
 "It sounds fantastic to say that whole bodies of women place their chief reliance for social advancement on dress, but it is true. They are, or are not, as they are gowned! The worst of this fantasy is not only that it forces too much attention from use full women but that it gives such poise and assurance to the ignorant and useless! If you look like the women of a set, you are as good as they, is the democratic standard of many a young woman. If for any reason she is not able to produce this effect. she shrinks from contact, what ever her talent or charm! And she is often not altogether wrong M think ing she will not be welcome if her dress is not that of the; circle tc which she aspires. Many a woman indifferently gowned has been made to feel her difference from the elegant she found herself among. If she is sure of herself and has a sense of humor, this may be an amusing ex- perience. To many, however, it is ar embfttering onei"

an answer, for, if you try to change the subject, she will revert to her question time and again until you f1n- ally must answer or offend her by say ing that you do not care to tell her.
 Another woman who is disliked is the one who is always telling her family troubles. She drags out the family skeleton and parades it, before your eyes. She pours her tale of woe into your unwilling ears. She never is satisfied with her family or her. sur roundings and seems to derive pleas ure in thrusting her troubles upon her neighbors.
 Another unloved woman is the one who has no thought for anyone but herself. If her husband meets with an accident. her first thought is how much extra work 1t will make for her. self. She never can see but one side of a question and that is her own side She wants to be the center of attraction at all times and wants all the sympathy available. She is not willing to share the sympathy or ad- miration with anyone else. She never can bear to hear anyone else being praised.
 Another uncomfortable woman is the one who is over-sensitive. Her friends are almost afraid to talk to her for fear of being misunderstood. She finds a slight where none was intended. A visit with a friend loses its joy in the after thought, for the things that were said in asjoke and meant that way, now take on new meaning and, un- der the microscope of her sensitive soul, reveal an army of unkind allu- sions. Every thing is taken as a slight
 These, poor unpopular women, won der why they are disliked. Yet, they never try to turn the mirror inward to get the reflection of their own short comings.-Dr. Edith B. Lowry in Wo- mans World for August.

THE WOMAN THAT
 IS TOO FRIENDLY.

She always is running in just for a few minutes chat. Probably she comes in, just when you are putting forth ev- cry effort to finish an important piece or work. She says, Don't let me in- 1 terrupt you. Just go right on with
 your work. only ran in for 8 few
 minutes" She does not stop to con sider that it is impossible for you to concentrate your mind on your work when conscious of the fact that she
 is making a mental inventory of every
 thing in the room.
 If she happens to come in just as
 you are dressed for the street, she in- mediateiy offers to accompany. you. Perhaps you are expecting to meet a
 friend and have a social time together.
 You have a number of things to say
 to this friend that you do not care
 to say in the presence of a third party. She is next of kin to the woman who always is asking favors. If you
 are going to the city for q day she immediately says, "Oh, would you
 mind getting this for me?'' Perhaps
 her errand takes you entirely out of
 your way and, as your time is limited, you must neglect one of your own
 errands in order to perform hers-of- ten of little importance.
 This same woman probably is one of the inveterate borrowers. She bor-
 rows your groceries, your thread, your
 clothing, your chairs, your bed and table linen, everything, in fact, except your husband, and she might borrow
 even him if he did not have stamina
 enough to refuse to be borrowed.
 Next to her is the woman who i'm itates. If you get an especially be- coming dress, she immediately has one
 made so similar that when .Iou meet
 some of your mutual acquaintances they say, "Why, you have a dress. just like Mrs R-'S"
 It is not only your clothes she bor-
 rows, or initiates. but your style of
 speech your ideas, your expressions. In fact this social pirate coolly will ap- propriate anything she happens to ad- mire As your ideas have net been
 copyrighted, you have no recourse
 pr. Edith B. Lowry in Woman's World for August.
