Here's an account Of a divorce sniff in

that the gay deceiver who broke M his
home and stole his wife away from
him did so by calling her a Door. tired
little kid although she was as husky
as Jess Willard and weighed $50

That's the dope; that's the magic

she's doing exactly what she wants to
do So 1 don't know that I blame the
woman who elOped with a man with
gumption enough to call her a poor,
tired little kid"
"Sure thing" agreed the Bookkeeper.
"and the less she looked like a poor,
Tired little kid the more soothing TO her
feelings must have been the appeIlation.
No doubt. her husband, with the brutal
caudOr Of our near relations, had let
her see that he considered her an able

pared her invidiously with slim young
maidens about half her age and a third
her weight
balm upon a smarting wound ii must
have been to be called poor, tired
little kid Not even monument Of
virtue could have resisted sutton with
such honeyed tongue as that"
There's one thing observed the
Stenographer, that I've noticed about
most men and women. and that is that
they'd rather be praised for their de-
fects than their virtues II you want
TO flatter pretty woman, don't ap-
plaud her beauty, but hurl few bo-
quets at her intellect. even if she hasn't
got any more brains than a hen, and
il YOU want to get smart woman 60
ing. Just hand her a few about her
complexion and figure. even though
she's ugly enough to stop the clock.

his profession that have made him
world famous. but the way to jolly him
isn't TO talk about his scientific
achievements, but to praise his poetry
and he writes the worst verses You
ever heard, and I know q successful
literary man who purrs under your
hand if you praise his clothes and tell
him he's a second Beau Brummel
It's a funny thing, but il looks as
if the less truth there is in flattery
the sweeter it is and the more II goes
TO our heads"
'Right-o," said the Bookkeeper.

TT I could say one word more earnest
than any other to working girls
- It would be this:
DON'T BELIEVE N FAIRY TALES,
GIRLS.
The story Of Cinderella and the
Fairy Prince is fiction It neser hap
mems in real life. It never happened
TO any girl 1t assuredly Is never go
fue- to happen TO you so get the silly
idea out OF your head and set down
to the real business OF life
DO YOU know why the working girl
so easily falls a victim TO the wiles OF
any we'll dressed MANI II is because
she still believes in fairy tales
She really lives in a romance thar
she makes up for herself In IL some
gOd-lize male creature who IS napps
combination OF a matinee hero ana
philanthrOpic millionaire catcnes
glimpse Of her at her counter. or IN
her cashiers wicket, or over her sew
ing machine. and he falls madly N
love with her, and marries her' ana
takes her off TO live In golden palace
on Fifth avenue, and she becomes q
society queen. and has her pictures IN
the newspapers every day
That's the stuff the working glris
dream is made OF, and she's so anxious
TO find this Fairy Prince that she fits
his cap on every man she meets who
looks Ike what she considers swell
He doesn't even have 70 be deep,
dark subtle villain to deceive her She
deceives herself into believing that
street fllrtation-means an oVerWheln1-
ing passion that she was inspired IN
the mans breast. and that few JOY
rides and a dinner or two at a restau-
rant. and a summer excursion mean
marriage in the end.
The Awakening.
Many a girl has Weakened up from
her dream OF the Fairy Prince TO wish
that she had never been born, and 10
find that her hero had just been anus
ing an idle hour with her, and when
he had tired Of her. had thrown her
aside like a broken toy, careIes5 wheth-
er he had wrecked her life
Quit dreaming. girls Wake up and
face the truth. and that is that men
rarely marry out OF their class. They
may find the working girl pretty. and
piquant. and her very uncouventiOn-
aliry diverting, but when a man OF
family. and wealth. and tradition mar
ries he almost always picks out for a
Wifea woman who knows how to give
dinners, and run an establishment, and
who can add her fortune and her social
prestige 20 his.
OF course there are exceptions to
this rule, but. the average working girl
has just as much chance to be elected
president as she has TO marry a nil
uouaire.

A Pink Rose Adore the PEN Gives the
GrauntiOn Dress Of Net and Taffefa
Touch OF Color.
At first glance, IL seems me whole
graduating world is to be gowned in
yet, so completely does the fabric domi-
nate the collection. No doubt, il is the
extremely full skirt that brings this
material so noticeably to the fore; but
regardless Of the cause, the effect II
charming in the quaint Empire bodice
and bOlerO dresses. showing features
from old fashions such as short. puffed
sleeves and narrow ruffles. Valencien-
mes tllet and imitation Irish crochet,
repeated again and again in the trim
ming reminds one forcfbly OF the
timely revival Of these three laCes.
There are frocks, too. where heavy en-
broidery is used in the characterization;
others edged with half-inch SHRED rib
bon, and here and there a model
touched with taffeta. One frock in
particular OF the last type has the
new laced front bodice, ripping pep
lum, and applied hem OF the silk. The
gulmpe, showing above ard between
the lacings Of the bodice: the sleeves.
puffed until they resemble toy ball
looms and the skirt, with its entire
width gathered in at the waist are Of
net A half-blown rose Of delicate
pink, tackled above the hem, gives a
touch Of color, which makes the ner
and taffeta seem the purer white for
the contrast II might be well to add
all the frOclzs have this bit OF color
and are named according TO the flower
they show The model mentioned
above is the rose dress. the marguerite
rock has a chain Of daisies around the
waist and the pansy dress, a corsage
bouquet Of deep purple pansies as the
name implies.
These touches and trimmings are
also carried out in frOclls Of other fan
rics; introduced, perhaps, to diversity
the net models or for the few who do
not care for such transparent material
as the net As the styles themselves
hint OF old-time fashions so these tex
lures have their origin in the modes
OF from 1870 TO 1850 Sheer Swiss,
plain and embroidered, batiste, pofnt
d'esDrit organdy and dimity show to
good effect with Valenciennes lace
Only two really modern materials are
used and these are cotton crepe, and
wolfe.
Since so many OF the schools have
set the limit Of three dollars for the
cost Of the frock, the stores also fea-
ture inexpensive fabrics by the yard,
