By DOROTHY DIX.

Once upon a time there was a Woman
who. although possessed OF the Average
Measure OF Pulchritude and many Admir-
able Qualities, did not succeed in tagging
down any Masculine Creature for a Hus-
band. and who began to perceive that
Spinster would be engraved on her
Tombstone.
Happily, this Calamity cut no ice with
her, for she was a Suffrsgette. and in
stead Of sitting down and bewailiBg her
Fate IN getting Left at the Matrimonial
Post, she Touted herself as a Winner.
1T may be True" she said to herself.
that those who Dope out the System OF
Life are Right when they figure Il out
that the One Best Bet Is a Good Hus-
band, but so many OF my Friends have
put their Money down on Also Rams
that I am probably in Luck not TO butt
into the Game at all
Not for Her.
'Tnasmuch, however, as / shall not
have any Hubby to stand for my Meal
Ticket. Il is UP to me to get out myself
and acquire a Wad. for l do not pro-
pose TO be the Fringe on Anybody's Fam
lily or to Lose my Beauty Sleep Walking
some other Womsn's Baby with the
Colic.
TT may be that the proper Career for
an unmarried Female is to Listen to
other Peoples Troubles. and work Slip
pers for Preachers. but not for Muh.
With this. the Woman rolled up her
Sleeves and Tackled a Good Job. and
such energy and Sagacity did she display
that Il was not long before Money was
coming TO her on Wings. and she blew
herself TO Gleesome Paraphernalia. with
Carbons a-plenty. and as she had no
Husband to Audit her Accounts she Blew
In her Dough whenever she liked on
Theaters and Feeds. and Life was one
Merry Trala with her.
Now the Woman had a Sister who was
one OF those Sweet Feminine Creatures
that Men Admire. and in her early Youth
she had Espoused Handsome Counter
Jumper in a Dry Goods Emporium. and
they gave a Living Illustration OF how
Baseless is Mr.. Roosevelt's Fear Of Race
Suicide
Indeed. there were so many Little
Counter Jumpers the Family would have
been on the Blink except that the Old
Maid Auntic was always good for a
Touch and stood for the Rent
Notwithstanding this. the Married Sis
ter greatly pitied her Spinster Sister, and
when she came to bring the Children new
Shoes Mother would tell her Offspring
that they must be very Kind to Poor,
Lonely Aunt.
How Sao." she would exclaini, 1t must
be to be an Old Maidr'

In the new Blue Book of who Is Who.
and who Is Worth While in the Susi-
ness World" the name Of the supersen-
sitlve girl no longer appears.
She may be Just as picturesque as
ever, but she hasn't ray Of chance
Of success In commercial life. and SO
her name is rapidly disappearing from
the books of business firms.
We still see her often enough, how
ever, to be familiar with the type. and
we who come in contact with her in our
business relations avoid her as We would

Portable business associate
One never has the remotest idea when
she Is going to fly up the creek over a
Cross tone and burst into tears.
The business man who innocently en-
ploys the girl who wears her feelings
on her sleeve would as soon invNe the
bubonic plague into his ONCE IL he knew
at the time that every time he threw a
pebble # would smash into her house Of
glass crushing all her dear, tender little
feelings.
Has No Chance of Holding Job.
The girl who has nursed the idea all
the way up to womanhood that she was
born sensitive and %just can't help u
has no chance OF permanently holding
down q good Job.
Tears are her refuge and her joy when
her feelings are hurt, and no man will
stand for a girls tears during business
hours. Only a marriage license gives a
woman the privilege of weeping in the
presence of a man, and she who abuses
this privilege even then does so at her
own risk.
The thread that binds a young woman
gg
TO risk weakening it with any lack OF
SeIf-discipline.
A young business woman who prides
herself on her sensitiveness, believing
that II indicates a refined and delicate
nature was telling me just a few days
ago that things were not always as they
are to-day.
when a girl firstSYent to work in a
business office II was considered quite
the thing to do when her feelings were
hurt to have a nice little cry, which
meant Just as nice a little apology from
her employe IL il was his. ungusrded
tone that had offended her dainty little
feelings" she told me.
She said men were brutes in this day
and generation and bewaIled the fact
that women receive less consideration
now than formerly and are thought un-
disciplined II they so much as dare raise
their weeping eyes to heaven.
Does Not Apply to the Present.
don't know how this young business
woman knows so much about those days
when it was perfectly rIgnt and proper
for woman to grow up with no more
backbone than a jelly fish.
] wasn't living when TINS was the case
and so I could only point out to her that
conditions governing the long ago yester-
year have nothing to do with the condi-
tions under which women work to-day.
II the description Of this pessimistic
miss is true, let us be very grateful
that 1t does not apply to the present

WHITE TAFFETA FR0CKS
FOR AFTERNOON TEAS

Little frocks Of taffeta are just now
the craze. and every debutante has her
afternoon tea frock Of %hite tanetas
made in simple, girlish style.
Such a frock is. OF course. worn under
a fur coat or other wrap in a convey
ance, the wrap being left in dressing
room. and the tafreta frock must be made
in a style suitable for afternoon rather
than evening wear.
This pretty white taffeta costume with
its graceful lines Is frightened by touch
of silver lace and the black and white
picture hat has a silver lace frill under
the brim. With these white frocks are
worn dainty buttoned boots OF white
satin.

PROPER METHOD TO KEEP
STEEL KNIVES BRIGHT

Steel knives need special care. They
should never, never be laid in water but
held in the dishwasher's hands while
they are washed, then wiped perfectly
dry. II they are silver plated they are
polished like the rest Of the silver. Steel
knives should be secured as often as
used. This helps TO keep them sharp as
well as brig-t
Avoid anything which greatly heats the
bIaues, for this breaks the handles oy
expanding the steel which runs up into
them.
Some people say silver must be cleaned
once a week, others once rtnight'
others contend that once a month Is
enough.

ChaperOn.

Marjorie S.-Conventio9ality demands
that a young unmarried woman should
be chaperoned when out on the street.
However, the parents or guardians of a
girl can decide whether she needs chap

abundance OF good sense and good judg-
ment, while others of the same age are
SO silly and frivolous that a chaperon
Is needed TO give them advice.
