thinks it a dreadful misfortune
because she can't.
And the most capable OF
women, those who are convinced
of the equality of the sexes,
those who believe in the comrade-
ship and partnership of man and
woman, arrive at time, IL they
marry happily, when they are
obliged to depend, and when they
delight In finding handy the pro-
lection. comfort and strength of
the superior male. But they
don't tell him so.
The normal woman wants to be
petted and spoiled. The women
who kill this need from their
souls, or are deprived of it 10y
fate or intention, have horrid
price to pay.
They misunderstood man, mis-
interpret him, consider him self
fish, brutal, stupid. They lose pa
thence with him, condemn him,
despise him.
They forget that man
makes one-half OF the human
race, and that when they
shut him from their lives, or
refuse to regard him even as
an Interesting volume, then
they are delibratly closing
thir intelligence to One-half
of the big truths of existence.
Thereafter, they will see life
only in shadows, out of focus
and blurred.
They grow cruel, bitter and
narrow. And all Of the time they
want to be just normal. devoted,
old-fashioned subordinate but
protected wives and mothers.

Some women are born indie
pendent, few achieve independ-
ence and many have independence
thrust upon thin. But no woman
dotes on the condition.
Every woman would like to
throw all her burdens on some
strong man, forever and forever.
But this is a secret which wom-
an seldom discusses with any
man, lest it prove her inferior to
him, or lazy, or selfish, or q too
willing burden. And for certain
of these reasons she seldom con-
fesses her true inclination to any
other woman either.
Whether a woman marries and
points out some mans path for
him; or remains single and be-
comes a business success and eco
nomically independent; or, as a
divorce, holds marriage an in
tolerable experiment. every wom-
an admits, in her heart. that she
is really beggar maid, and
whether lovely or not, that she is
very much in need of a certain
ruling King Cophetua.
Coquetry, however, prompts
even the silliest of women to af-
feet a staggering show OF indie
pendence, or of Indifference to
man. The pretty doll who would
starve in week if left to her own
efficiency, makes a charming
bluff of her ability to twist a
man around her little finger, and
the prettier she is and the more
helpless, the greater delight does
her pretense of authority over him
delight the man!
The most exasperating nagger
is often unfortunately persistent,
but not because she actually de-
lights in ruling her mate. She
proceeds from a stern sense of
her sad and disagreeable but I'M
escapable duty to make an I'M
willing spouse pursue the right
way--HER WAYl But in her
secret heart she would just love
to slump and to be easy, and sh'

HOW no JUDGE A WOMAN

There is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is
we'll kept to judge of Q woman's
neatness, or good taste. II you are
one OF the few who try to make the
most OF your hair, remember that
1t is not advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all
purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly
for shampooing. You can enjoy
the very best by getting some can
throx from your druggist, dissolve
teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough SO 1t il
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head.
Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be SO fluffy that it
will look much heavier than it is.
Its lustre and softness will also
delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which in
sures hair growth.

trouble with most girls
nowadays is, IL they're good,
they're so long-faced its no
wonder that men don't seek
for them for their compan-

the other kind, the majority
of them would not be faith
full to anyone. All they want

will spend and the good times
he will show them.
