Hints on Dressing Economically

turned on the wrong side when re-
moved, and well aired An evening
dress when removed should be hung in
a 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
a box or drawer and covered with tissue
paper, or, II hung up in a closet, it
should be covered with 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
gloves should be mended without de

OF course, the architects that arrange
modern flats don't take love making
into account. They crowd the little

reason why there's less marrying in

A Puzzle.

l know a 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 blighted almost by
breath Heaven knows why, but GER
tain poetry and romance must surround
a 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

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 nose like a 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
have 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 20 do It, and this is as
true of matrimony as of business. A
girl can't marry unless she has the OPP
portunity, and It is up to her parents to
provide that opportunity.

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
because her youth is the sunshine in
which a girl must make her matrimO-
NAL hay. and chiefly by making the
home such a pleasant place that men
will like to come TO II.
Yet there are mothers and fathers who
make every young man who comes to
the house feel as II he was an interloper,
or a burglar. with the very natural con-
sequences that no youth has the cour-
age to encounter such an inhospitable
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 gossipine
whiting earshot, and little brother is
listening behind the portiere? And how
can a girl play up her little arts and
articles with the family looking on.

By DOROTHY DIX.

a GREAT many parents wonder
II why their daughters do not mar
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 a 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 II 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.

MUSICAL EVENTS

A successful musical event of the
week was the sacred concert given last
evening at the Trinity Lutheran
church by the members Of the Luther
League chorus, under the direction Of
Mr.. Lee B. Nusbaum. The chorus was
assisted by Professor Frederick K.
Hicks, vtolinist, and Miss Edna Deu-
ker, organ accompanist. Mr.. Hicks
played a beautiful violin number, a
Nocturn by Mendelssohn. 1t is seldom
that Mr.. Hicks appears in recital and
he Is always greeted with applause.
His execution last evening was excel
lent. He added materially to the sue
cess Of the affair. Mr.. Thollie Druley
sang pretty solo entitled The Shep-
herd King" by Berne. In Part Mrs.
Charles Igelman sang n beautiful solo,
Bending Ger a Cradle Low" by e.
Mario, with violin obligato by Mr..
Hicks. Mrs. Igelman has a beautiful
voice and her number was one of the
best of the entire program. Numbers
by The chorus were also excellent. The
organization is to be congratulated up
on the success OF the affair.
