Selfish Woman Unbeatable.
The New Napkin Rings.

Oblong napkin rings with squared-off
ends are among the novelties in table
furnishings. They are developed in silver
and gold, decorated with an engraved
pattern or repousse pounded into an ORR
entail design and in carved ivory or painted
cClluloid. These oblOng rings are found
cheek by jowl with the holders OF cir
Cular type Which, instead Of being rath-
er ponderous affairs, are now decidedly
narrow and rather sparsely decorated.
They also lack the rolling double rims
which erstwhile distinguished such rings.
= Not especially substantial yet won
derfuIly attractive are the napkin rings
of filigree silver. OF the most delicate
design and irregularly-edged. they look
when drawn over a roll of damask-
like tracery in frost. II carfully handl-
ed. they do not bend out of shape or
break, but 1t is necessary to use extreme
elaboration in the cleaning of them.

For the Home Doctor.

To save the trouble and care Of keep
ing the usual household collection of
medicine bottles and boxes. while at the
same time keeping the prescription num-
Der, try this plan OF which heard and
used with success: Have a small blank
book and write the doctor and druggists
name, the number. and date, with the
sickness the medicine was used for. I
have found this idea good. as It does
away with the bottles, &C., which ac-
cumulate dust and take up space in the
closet
Have any of the mothers tried the
plan of making infants long dresses
with a placket down the entire back,
buttoning all the way instead OF the
usual two or three buttons? Any one
who has tried to put crying baby's
head through the small opening will ap-
preciate the above even though 1t ne
cessitates the making of a few extra
buttonholes: it also makes the dresses
easier to iron.

Warming Arainst Pofsons.

To prevent accidents with bottles con-
tanning poison. buy a dozen tiny bells,
and every time a bottle of poison is
brought to the house tie a bell to the
neck Of the bottle. Even in the dark
the bell will tinkle its warning. Another
good way is to paste a piece Of sand
paper securely to the top of the cork.
One can easily detect the rough surface
and thereby know the contents.
Plants can be left on the window sill
at night in very cold weather IL a news
paper is placed between the window and
the plants. The plants will not freeze
II this is done.
A successful way to restore pearl but
tons to their original brightness and
beauty Ii first rub them with little
olive oil, TO take away the blurred look;
then sprinkle with nail powder and rub
well with channels skin.
To preserve stories or articles from
magazines, do not cut or tear out the
pages. Take the entire magazine to
pieces by removing the wire clasps and
separating the pages. This will leave
neat. wide margins on the. stories you
save and will facilitate rebinding them.

told me with a tone OF indignation in
her singularly mellow voice.
Wise women know that without fem
mine charm the most brilliant female
mind in all the world would go a-begging.
She has all the mate characteristics
OF her sex which make her charming.
and as soon as abe bestirs herself to
the very important task OF learning to
think, she will bring about a more COM
plete understanding between herself and
the man who companions her through
life"
There is q decidedly true ring in the
big IDEAS which the gifted wife OF Mr..
William Faversham has for the future
Of her sex, and her prophecies give every
indication OF being fulfilled. for the cling
ing vine type of womanhood is passing.
because man has come to a realization
thai he needs a helpmeet and not an
incumbrance in his battles OF life. an
intellectual equal in his domestic com
panion, and not a helpless, entirely de-
pendent wife who can't change her mind
without his assistance.
She Is n Vampire.
The cIinging-vine type IL a vampire,
demanding everything OF the man she
marries and giving nothing in return
Just a miserable stumbling block in the
path Of his success. There is no place
for her in this modern world of self
reliant folk in which we are having our
being. Foolhardy indeed Is the man who
encourages the girl he marries TO de-
pend upon him for everything. and still
more fooIhardy is the woman who sinks
her individuality into that Of another
human being. relying upon him to- even
do her thinking for her. I think we are
all glad that the type is growing extinct,
and that we all look with approval on
the woman who is just as well prepared
to meet life and live 1t, whether In sin

t,Washingtonians a chance to see this

not confined to Julius Caesar" for Miss
Opp gave expression to some very inter-
esting ideas concerning the future Of
woman.
There Is a new sex coming" she told
me. TT will be Portia-like man-wom-
an. The new woman will have a mind
as highly developed as that OF any man
without losing any Of that delicacy and
tenderness OF her sex which lends 50
materially to her charm"
I suggested that this sort OF woman
has already come-this female Of the
species" whom Miss Opp says has been
in the making for centuries.
"Only in spots. and mighty little spots
at that" she laughed.

THE fact is" she went on, 1T is like

The trouble with woman is that man
has feminized her too much. Her men,

Miss Opp explained.
Man thought he wanted her to be
brainless clinging vine, but the centuries
have taught him that the vine entangled
his feet ard impeded his progress, so
that now he is willing to allow her a
separate growth. with room enough In

Every woman knows that the most
lovable man is one whose nature Is
streaked with tenderness. Cntinctured
masculinity Is british. Tenderness and
delicacy are feminine traits. hence the
man who possesses them Is partly wom-
an It must follow that the perfect
woman should possess a developed mind
Now logic, reason, consistency. generally
speaking. are masculine qualities. so
that the purely feminine needs some
masculinizing, Just as the purely mascu-
line needs some femInizing."
I suggested to Miss Opp that her ideal
woman was perhaps colored by her OBJ
vious sympathy in her finely portrayed
role of Portia, which she said was quite
likely, at the same time reminding me
that Shakespeare's women are the near

BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

Twilight was fast approaching, and
a little group Of boys and girls had gath
cred at a corner for the last game that
was to mark the close of outdoor play.
They were planning and talking. all at
once, as boys and girls will, and snatches
of everything drifted to the ears Of a
passerby, who soon grew interested and
curious.
For she heard one of the boys speak
up, good and loud-"Don't let's take her
in at all this time"' And then the pass
erby became a real spectator, and, yes
did.
Well, a tolerant spirit prevailed, and,
in spite OF the protest, they did take

as she could. stopping long enough to

Determined Her Fate.
It was all over in a minute, and then
those merry, laughing boys and girls
broke up their game and went aside, like
a lot of determined. sober-faced men and
women, TO sit in Judgment and determine

down the back.
In some way or other the fashion
makers seem to turn the feminine figure
into rather a fiat affair. Flat. that is.
when viewed from the front, and narrow
when taken from the side. 1t reminds
one somehow of the oval. fat cans OF
talcum powder that are in the shops A
great deal Of this is done by the fact that
the sleeves are long and plain. and that
the shoulder line is brought out as much
as possible.
II is the old ideas, modernized. Of
having straight lines from shoulder to
foot, both back and front, and the hu-

The new year sounded the deathknell
OF the suit. say those to whom the least
whimsy Of fashion is known. In the
placs OF the coat and skirt, or the coat
and the skirt and blouse, as the case
may be, there is to be the heavy one
piece dress, warm enough, with the ad-
dition Of a set OF furs or orocaded
scarf to wear on the street In the bitter
est weather.
Yet because even the designers are not
quite cars, and must make a more or
less gradual change from one style to
another, the new heavy "coatess
gowns, as they are called, are fashioned
to resemble the suit.
Tunics Are Often Used.
To do this, the tunic is used on almost
all of them, and where there Is no tunic
the skirt is draped. One Cheruit model.
made in a fine blue serge, had a straight
skirt, with a tunic that fared away at
the knees. The dress had long sleeves,
cut in one piece, with the waist. The
blouse was fastened tightly at the throat,
with a stand-up collar, over which fell
frill of lace. From the throat the
blouse fiared open to show black vel
vet. gold trimmed vest. with a row of
velvet-covered buttons that ran straight
down. and were continued to the bottom
of the tunic.
Another model Of the coatless gown
had a draped skirt. falling nearly to the
floor in the front, but where the draping
was canght to a panel in the back three
inches shorter than the rest of the skirt.

heels and a trim bit of ankle in the
back.

But they did something worse than
that. for they planned. then and there,
that when that selfish, trouble-making
girl showed her face in their midst they
would tell her to run and play in her
own back yard, for not a game could
she play with them. And the way they

tary figure sitting there. disconsolately
plying herself and hating the rest, she
thought of the way things run in the
big game of life.
1t is always the same. In the long
run, nobody has any use for the man
or woman who has not learned that
there are other wills and other ways
in life than those that center all upon
self. We may run and pout II we can
not have our way, but by and by we,
names. and. worst of AL, will be left
to pout by ourselves.
For men and women are just as wise
as little boys and girls. and they want
folks around them who will not run TO
cover because they cannot have their
way all the time.
