Why Bachelor Quarters Are Filled.
One crusty old gentleman complained to ms
one time about women's everlasting conversa-
tions on dress. :" If they would learn TO let
evening pass and then without talking
dress they might eventually be bit interest
ing"
Dress is tiresome thing for a man to have
to listen to always. And perhaps more than
any other feature dress does more to widen the
breach between marrageable girls and sane
reasoning young men. So many women think
of nothing else and can talk of nothing else.
They fret over fine things all the time They
sigh for jeweled ornaments and gorgeous even
ing gowns and elegant opera cloaks in the
presence of the young men, I have known of
girls whose parents were terribly hard up, even
in debt, who would deliberately buy chain or
bracelet or fancy hatpin or brooch because
they simply talked about these things so much
with their chums they could not resist the
temptation to buy them.
Is it any wonder that men tire of such wom-
en- and that bachelor quarters are filled at the
sacrifice of homes?

Are Women Rapidly Developing
into Such Creatures of Dissipation,
Dress, Vanity, and Small Talk
That Men Are Beginning to Find
Them Hopelessly TIreson7e
IIreS0n1e :?

N NOTED author told me the other day
IN that he was certain women are max
ing such fools of themselves nowadays
that no sane man will ever think much
of them again.
His statement was broad one, and sus-
picion, which was partly confirmed later, en-
tered my mind that he must have been under
going the after effects of heart affair and he
was mercilessly taking revenge on the whole
sex.
But when he referred in tones of disgust to
the present mode of life Of the average young
woman and their almost universal mad rush
to adopt the present ugly fashions-particu-
larly the vulgar skin tight skirts that accentu-
ate every line of the figure and necesstate a
slit with a more than vulgar display of silk
stocking, the cigaret smoking, the highban
drinking, the turkey trotting, the card playing
mania, was convinced that his statement was
not wholly without truth.
This man is convinced that his mother was
the last sensible woman, though he owned he
once very nearly trapped into marriage.
But the girl married some one else, which
really may be the reason for his bitterness
toward womankind. However, he told nse that
he discovered she was a remarkably frivolous
creature and he could never have been happy
with her.
" She was of the type one meets on every
hand today" be said. !" She preferred social
acquaintances to friends. She was always
seeking new pleasures, and both physically
and temperamentaly she was unable to make
and keep home without the help of servants.
She was the sort of woman who would sacri-
flee real pleasures every time to artificial ones

Dear Miss Libbey: have been going

Undesirable Type Increasing.
While do not for one moment agree with
this man that there is such desrth of women
with the above named qualities, still it is
painfully evident fact that yearly the undesir-
able type of woman-the type of woman that
man is beginning to nnd himself better off
without-is increasing alarmingly.
This is the element characterized as gay
butterflies " ornaments" ballroom flowers"
accomplished social whirlers, and women
who crave continued vaudeville in their lives
Unfortunately these women have propen-
sity for keeping themselves much in evidence
and consequently give rise to doubt as to the
value of women as whole. These women are
entirely without lasting qualities, and, conse-
quently, find them very tiresome after
their superficial gloss has been penetrated
Largely among this class to be found
women who have usurped mans role of the
pursuer. They meet at some function a man
who makes favorable impression and they in
wardly resolve to leave stone unturned in
the pursuit of him. They call him up at his
place of business arrange little effairs at their
homes for him, invite him to accompany them
to dances, and even buy theater tickets and in
vite him to go along. They take him auto rid
ing and insist on making themselves objec-
tionable nuisances to the man in a short time
The reward they get generally for their un-
womanly demeanor is to have the man tire of
them and avoid them entirely.
Most of the faults, however, of the young
women Of today are due to their parents. They
are not brought up and trained for the respon-
sibilities and self-denials of successful lives.
They have bad manners and wear conspicuous
clothes because they have been encouraged to
do pretty much as they please. Thousands of
girls reach maturity without the faintest idea
of how to go about making cup of coffee or a

Yes, you acted entirely right. A girl who
f1irts on street cars or any other place is
most undesirable type and not the kind of girl

1t is correct for the hostess to invite the
young man to call again. Ofteatimes, how.
ever the gentleman invites the invitation BY
some courteous remark % the effect that he
has had pleasant evening and hopes it will

SKINS That SOAP Makes DIRTIER

n n OST persons have long believed
N that liberal use of soap and
water insures bodily cleanliness.
1t will be a shock to learn. therefore.
that certain numerous type of persons
have skins that soap only makes dirty.
This is on the high authority of the Lon
don Lancet, the worlds leading medical
journal.
The active principle of all soaps is al
kali, the action of which, ordinarily, is
to separate dirt from the oil of the skin
and enable it to be washed away.
But it seems that certain skins are not
proof against the action of alkali, and
soap acts as deterrent because ii forms
an emulsion with dirt and the liberated
alkali removes the fat which causes dirt
to cling. Any inquiry therefore, turned
to the question of the effects of soaps
upon the skin amounts to determining
the sensitiveness of the skin to the
action of alkali.
Owing to hydrolysis soaps when dis
solved in water exhibit a marked alkaline
reaction, and this is true also of the
so-called superfatted soaps, though these

Castor oil soap, he finds, is least irri-
tating, but it has the disadvantage of
being too freely soluble and therefore
wasteful, while it is apt to become ran
cid. Cocoanut oil soap is decidedly irri-
tating, while palm oil soap though still
an irritating variety is less so, and tallow
soap shows low irritating value.

OF the cheaper and clothes-washing kinds,
as they are made mostly from cheaper

time.
