Dear Mtiss-Since you ask the opin-

galantry Of men, is the one profession
termed strictly feminine and in it's femi-
nineness only of course the oldest in the
world can understand perfectly, 1 say.
how this profession seems to be mainly
recruited, according to the testimony of
a recent investigator. from the servant
girl class.

loved at home nor by her mistress when

would gladly take to anything which pre-
cludes labor.
"They fasten themselves on to other
peoples homes like parasites in general

Veil the Bright Hat!

A millinery novelty and, incidentally, a
hint for the girl whose brilliant coral or
cerise hat is too loud" for her taste is the
new veiled hat. One seen recently was
fashioned of coral straw in the most vio-
lent shade imaginable. A yelling of navy
Georgette entirely covered the hat, leaving
no part of the violence at large, all of it
being successfully restrained with the
smart navy cover. A wing or two and
shoe-shine ribbon completed the trimming
scheme.

Why Oil OYerflOws

I'm answer to Mrs. A. r. NJ, let me say
that the oil on the outside of a lamp. when
not in use, is due to a principle in physics.
1t is caused by capillary attraction. The
oil follows up the wick through the tube
and, of course settles on the outside of the
lamp. 1t will do this in most cases whether
the damp is filled or not especially IL the
lamp is not in constant use. l. H."
