Why shouldn't woman express herself naturally and unaffectedly to ways a mans place to say the kind thing?
 In a magazine the other day read a very interesting little talk in which a man tells how he found himself on a New York bus with only a fve-dolIar bill and a nickel. The fare is dime. The collector could not change the biIl and the man was asked to get off. whereupon, in- stead of man. it was a woman who stepped into the breach and offered him the necessary nickel. He tells with much friendly relish of the frank, unaffected way which she did ii, how proud he was to accept it, and how much he admired and respected her for doing fl.
 One Man Respects the New Woman.
 That's what one man thinks of the woman who isn't afraid to meet men on a friendly basis.
 Personally. I can't believe that a friendly give-and-take attitude be- tween the sexes will be any loss fof woman.
 People sometimes say when Femin- ism (which isn't synonymous with free love, by the way) is discussed, "I suppose fin those times men will never give up their seats to women.
 I don't see why that follows. don't sec why a helpfulncss toward woman as the physically weaker and a deference to her as the mother of the race is incompatible with credit ing her with mental equality and meeting her on social footing of mutual fricndlincss.

She bought one par ticularly pretty utility dress made of Georgette satin combined with black = and ue-andwhite striped taffeta. The satin forms the tunic, which is short and cut up on the sides, but end- ing in a long point in front and back. The skirt is made of the taffeta with the stripes running round. The sleeves
