NOTE TO NEUTRALS.

Copenhagen, Feb. 7.-(via Lcndon.)
1t Is officially stated that James w.
Gerard, the American ambassador to
Germany, will not be allowed to leave
Berlin until the German government
is satisfied as to the treatment of
Count Won Bernstorff, the retiring
German ambassador, by the American
government.
Berlin.-In an interview with a Nor
wegian correspondent as given out
here by the Overseas News Agency,
DR.. Karl Helfferich, minister of the
interior, said:
"We consider submarine warfare to
be an effective means of shortening
the war and breaking nee and for all
British tyranny on the seas. 1t is true
that neutrals will have to suffer in
some respects from the submarine
war, but do not they suffer already?
You can be sure that the difficulties
caused to your country by our sub
marine wal will be little compared
with those caused by Great Britain.
There Is no way back for us. We
shall go on the way which we have
chosen to the end and we are con-
WINGED that later neutrals will be
thankful to u.s."

about GO of them, n strangely bright and lovely
memento of that dreary sojOurn In the Tower Of
London. The following is typical Of his valentine
verses:
Wilt thou be mine? Dear love, reply
Sweetly consent, or else deny;
Whisper softly, none shall know.
Wilt thou be mine, love; aye or no?
Spite of fortune we may be
Happy by one word from thee;
Life fees swiftly, Ere it go
Wilt thou be mine, love; aye or no?
1t was an ancient idea cherished through many
mating for birds as well as for men and women.
Herrick refers to this charming fancy in this
lovely valentine verse:
Oft have | heard both youths and virgins say
Birds chose their mates and couples, too, this day,
But by their flight l never can divine
When / shall couple with my valentine.
Lovers less talented who found rhyming on
their own account exceedingly difficult were obliged
to resort to books which were regularly published
with a view to supplying valentine verses and
replies appropriate to all stations in life and all
trades. These verses, published in small volumes,
with highly colored frontispieces, were not usually
Of the loftiest order.
Reply valentines were very much the fashion for
n time, as were those In which there was a play Of
words upon some particular calling. A valentine
for a butcher and his sweetheart, included among
those supplied In n little book published In Lon
don, was as follows:
Valentine From a Butcher.
Strong as an OK my love for thee,
Thou tender bit of veal;
Though small thine eyes as pigs they see
Too well my love to steal.
This hast thou done, and something more
Deprived me of my sleep;
Oh, then, be kind, nor shut the door
Against the hapless sheep!
To this the beauteous maid of the butchers
fancy replied:
Good Mr.. Butcher. 1 must own, although I am no
%glutton,
I'm rather partial to the taste of beef, pork, veal
and mutton;
I've half a mind to grant your suit, but one thing
makes me %falter;
l fear, when tied, you'd take me straight to Smith
field in a halter.
In some instances lovers also chose st. Valen-
tines day as an occasion on which to reprove their
sweethearts and cut them off from further COM
munication, as shown In the following verse:

PARAsJTEs-MALE AND FEMA1E
BY DOROTHY ok

IF there is one thing that l am mopt

ted orator runs out Of something else

Whenever a foreigner who has

telling about the parasitic American

We hear so N UGH about the para

us have ever personally encountered
one Of these domestic monstrosit1es.
The women we know are not engaged

Instead, they are working, tooth itnd

one of the greatest arguments against

it seems TO promote parasitism among

Ely far the smartest thing to possess
this spring and summer Is a set con-
sisting of parasoL hat and bag to
match. In fact. it will be rather a
difficult task to limit ones self to only
one of these sets If one has to, so ir'
resistible are they. More than likely,
those who can satisfy all their long
ings will provide themselves with q
vet for each dainty frock.
These sets may be created by any
one or you may choose your materials
and put in an order for the making OF
them at the umbrella counter. One
set that has been made up entirely OF
ribbon has the ribbon running down
each rib Of the parasol, trimming the
hat, making the bag and also a sport
coat. It takes 1-3 yards to decorate
a parasol Of ten ribs and the hat and
bag may be made as elaborate as de-
sired.
Smart New ParasoIs
Many of the parasols are obviously
intended only for effect, and hardly
for protection from the sum. These
are of filmy silk with chiffon borders
embellished with dainty embroider1es
or hand-painted designs. More sub.
stantial though no less picturesque,
are those of ribbon and figured silks.
Striped and lowered effects In the
ribbon parasols are favored as much
as the plain colrs.

ice and beauty Is of gold colored silk

vides the money to run It, but he eX-
poets his wife to furnish everything
else. She must give II its tone, She
must draw about them the kind OF
people they want to know, and that It
is to their advantage to know. She
must do the social climbing and make
the position for him and the children.
AS for the children, the American
father seems to consider that he has
no other duty than to pay their bills.
He leaves their rearing entirely to
their mother and holds her respon-
sible for the way they turn out. She
decides on their clothes. She selects
their schools for them. She forms
their manners and their morals, and
SO completely does she monopoliZe
the whole parenthood Of the family
that half the time the father calls her
mother himself.
Also, the American husband de-
ponds upon his wife to keep him en-
| tertatned Outside of his business,
! the average man is pauper In inter
est. He has never taken time to de-
velop any side line He has no out
side interest, no hobbies, no fads. He
does not very often even care for any
other reading except newspaper.
This leaves the men perfectly at
sea when they have any leisure, and
puts 1t up to their wives to steer
! them into some pleasant port. 1t Is
not because American women have a
natural tendency to henpeck that they
choose the theaters to which they
shall go, and drag their husbands
around in their wake with them when
they travel 1t Is because the men
don't know what to do with them.
selves and turn the job Of amusing
them over to their wives.
1t is often remarked that there are
practically no widowers in this coun-
try. The reason Of 1t is that the Am
erican married man has been a cling
ing vine spiritually so long that when
his prop is taken out from under him
he Is miserable until he hunts around
and finds another to lean on.
Therefore, considering the utter de-
pendence Of the American woman.
and tn eway she lives upon her vivac-
ity and joyousness and quick wit, 1t
is absurd to lay the charge Of parasit-
ism at her door She earns all she
gets, for If her husband supports her
physically, she supports him spiritual
ly and socially.
