Hints on Dressing Economically

turned on the wrong side when re-
moved, and well aired An evening
dress when removed should be hung in
closet not too full Of other garments
The next day It should be smoothed,
mended. If necessary, spots should be
taken out, and the dress laid lightly in
box or drawer aud covered with tissue
paper, or, If hung up in a closet. it
should be covered with a piece Of fine
muslin
Hats should be busted carefully when
removed, put in boxes and covered with
tissue paper or cheese cloth. To keep
shoes in shape they are PLACID on trees
There is economy in having several
pairs Of shoes and wearing them alter
nately Gloves should be removed by
drawing them inside out. turning them
back again, blowing into them and
smoothing them out neatly. Rips in

was no more room.
The woman, white faced and disap-

have gladly paid for a cab to take her
to her destination, dared do nothing Of
the sort. But he said:

They Forget.

Every man and woman must remem-
Der how they acted in their own court
ing days, and yet in spite of this you
will hear a father say that he is not
going to let Sally and her fool beaux
drive him out of his own favorite chair
in his own sitting room. Very we'll
Let him stick to 1t II he wants Sally
to be an old maid and TO have to sup
port her instead of her having a hus-
band to do It.
OF course. the architects that arrange
modern fats don't take love making
into account. They crowd the little
winged god out, which is perhaps one
reason why there's less marrying in
cities than there is in the country and
small town.
The moral OF all Of which is that If
you want your girls TO marry you must
give them a chance. You must help
along the love game, not strew tacks
in its way.

A Puzzle.

l know beautiful and charming
young girl who is much admired by men,
who are much puzzled as TO why she
never invites them to call upon her at
her home, though she evidently en-
joys their society elsewhere, and who
wonder why, when they suggest coming
to see her, that she always makes some
excuse to prevent their doing so. The
real reason is because her family con.
siders every beau that she has as their
game Only let a man come to see her
and they make merry over his every
popularity They Initiate his walk and
his mannerism and turn him into such
figure of fun that it has made the girl
have perfect horror of having a man
come to see her and thus offering him
up as a fresh victim.
The family think all of this a merry
jest, but about ten years from now,
when Sadie's beauty begins to fade
and they realize that she is still hang
ing on the parent bough, the fact that
they kept her from marrying by making
her afraid to have a man come to see
her, won't seem so funny. But that's
just what they're doing Family crit
icism explains why there's many an
old maid.
Then there's the family that kills
loves young dream by ridicule A
maiden's budding fancy is the most del
icate and sensitive thing in the world,
and it can be blghted almost by
breath. Heaven knows why, but a GER
tain poetry and romance must surround
man before a girl can fall in love with
him, and if you tear this away from
him there is nothing doing in the senti-
ment line for her.
I once asked a particularly charming
old maid why she had never married,
and she said that the reason was that

Many Ways.

This can be done in many ways; by
letting a girl go to places where she
will meet eligible men, by giving her
the best clothes that can be afforded,
because her youth is the sunshine in
which gill must make her matrimo-
NAL hay, and chiefly by making the
home such a pleasant place that men
will like to come to IT,
Yet there are mothers and fathers who
make every young man who comes to
the house feel as if he was an interloper,
or burglar, with the very natural con-
sequences that no youth has the cour-
age to encounter such an lnhospitable
reception a second time, and all the
men in the community flock around
some girl whose parents give them the
glad hand. Believe me, mother and
father have just as much to do with
making Mamie and Sadie a belle as the
girls own attractions have.
Another reason why so many girls
are old maids is because their parents
haven't enough sense to get out OF the
way and give a man a chance to make
love. How can a fellow have the nerve
to make love to a girl when father Is
sitting by the drop light, not six feet
away, reading the evening paper, and
mother and Aunt Jane are gossipins
whiting earshot. and little brother is
listening behind the portiere? And how
can a girl play up her little arts and
artifces with the family looking on,
ready to guy her about it as soon as the
front door closes behind the MANI

BY DOROTHY DIX.

a GREAT many parents wonder
~ why their daughters do not mar
L n ry. They see other girls, not half
so pretty nor attractive as their own,
settling themselves comfortably in life
with husbands and homes, while their
own daughters are headed for the Spin
sters' Retreat. and they puzzle their
brains why this is thus, and why one
maiden is called to the altar and an
other left.
And it never occurs to them that they
themselves are their daughters matri-
monial hoodOo. They don't intend to
be. Good gracious, no! Far from it!
They are convinced that matrimony is
the predestined career for woman, and
that the wedding bell is about the surest
dinner bell that ever rings for a girl.
If you would accuse them of trying to
insure their NAMES and Sadies being
old maids, they would Indignantly deny
the charge. Yet such is the case. They
block the love game at every turn in
stead Of pushing it along.
Take the case, for instance. in which
the family constitutes itself a commit
tee of criticism that sits in judgment
upon every young man that comes to
the house and tears him limb from
limb Is any youth going to subject
himself to that ordeal if he knows It ?
Is any girl going to stand for having
her men friends vivisected if she cam
help it?
Not much. We are all human and
we've all got faults and foibles, but we
don't care to have them discussed and
ridiculed, nor do we enjoy having our
friends made the target for the near
wit of even our own family

she began to count his change.
He would take no more risks If he
could avoid them. Not a single police
man in London would have failed to ar
rest him at that moment were his store
of gold revealed by any chance, Yet
Philip was rich honestly, and there
were men driving away from the city
at that hour whose banking accounts
were plethoric with stolen money. For
their carriages the policemen would stop
traffic In neither instance could the
guardians of the peace be held blame
worthy; such is the importance of mere
appearances
The boy. during his short and terribly
sharp tussle with London life, had al
ready grasped this essential fact and
with great skill and method he set about
the task of altering his own shabby
exterior.
In a side street leading out Of Gray's
Inn road he found a secondhand clothes
shop. Here he purchased a worn, but
decent, blue serge suit for shillings
6 pence, a pair of shoes for shillings,
a cap for pence, a wooden shirt for
and a linen collar for 3 pence.
He haggled sufficiently over the bar
gain to suit the needs of a scanty
purse.

Helping Along the
9 Game 3

when she was a girl every time any
man came counting her her family
would make fun of him. They would
point out that he had a nose like beak,
or Jaw like a bulldog, or that he wad-
died when he walked, or that he sput-
tered when he talked, and, having been
made to see him in this absurd light,
she could never again behold him as the
hero of her dream. The result was
that she kept waiting for the one per
feet man, beyond family criticism, to
come along, and, as he never did, she
drifted helplessly into spinsterhood.
Another reason why girls don't marry
is because they have the misfortune to
lhave parents who are hindrances in
stead of helps. Before you can pull off
a success at anything you've got to have
a good chance to do It, and this is as
true of matrlmony as of business \
girl can't marry unless she has the OPP
portunity, and it is up to her parents to
provide that opportunity.
