bring on. 1t is the ruthlessly selfish
one who always gets the best Of
everything. 1t is the man who curses
and swears, or the woman who goes
into Mysteries when things go wrong.
to whom we all sacrifice ourselves to
save the peace. At home we are all
ruled by the tyranny Of the weak.
1t is seldom that a strong man has
the power TO make over weak
woman, or that a good woman can
lift a bad man up to her level OF the
higher life. But It is fatally easy
for the weak and evil wife and hus-
band to pull down the good and
strong
Generally speaking. wives have far
more influence over their husbands
than husbands have over their wives.
Perhaps the reason Of this is because
n woman concentrates her whole mind
on trying to make a husband what
she wants him to be, while a wife is
never the whole interest OF life TO a
man. She Is a sort Of an annex, and
he is very apt TO take her as she is.
with gratitude and relief IL she is what
he wants her to be and a philosophi-
cal shrug If she isn't.
No man studies his wife's character
and modes of thought or really tries
to find out her limitations, or what
she might be developed into, as a
woman does with her husband. The
woman has to do this in order TO
know how to manage" her husband.
to get out of him the things she wants
and to make him do the things that
she wants TO do. Therefore, he misses
the opportunities to influence her that
he might have if he had troubled TO
study her psychology. whereas even
the stupidest of women knows how
to play on her husband as upon a
harp with a thousand strings.
You Will often notice a man radi-
cally changed in a few years after
he is married. If he marries a wom-
an who is above him socially and who
has he'd advantages of education that
lie never had, you will be amazed TO
see him blossom forth into a lmost a
Beau Brummel perfectly turned out
as TO dress. and with brilliant social
accomplishments.
On the other hand. a man who mar
ries bcneath himself socially does not,
in this country at least. seem often
able to change his Cinderella into a
fine lady. Unless the girl is very
clever and ambitious Of herself she
stays provincial in appearance and
manners TO the end of the chapter.
OF course one reason that women
influence men more than men do
women is because in America women
make the social running. The people
who come to the house are the wife's
friends, all OF a mans environment
outside o. his business is Of his wife's
making. and of course he is influ-
enced by the people she knows and
what they do and think
All OF which goes 10 show we are
not self-made. We are made by those
we marry.

HOROSCOPE.
Friday, November 2, 1917.

This is not a lucky day, for the
reading of the stars gives sinister
warning. Neptune, Mercury, the Sun
and Venus are all in malefic aspect
1t is not favorable time for court
ing or marrying and romance today
is likely to bring hearta che, for deceit
is indicated wherever men and women
trust each other.
Theatrical affairs apear to take a
serious turn for the worse here and
the signs are not encouraging, al
though a star will score a historic
success before the end of a season.
They who would succeed in any ap-
plication, either military. professional
or commercial. should not tempt fate
tC day when the rule of the stars is
forbidding.
1t is a threatening configuration for
the sea and all who go forth upon
it. Again a terrible disaster is fore
shadowed.
Newspapers come under a peculiar
influence making for sensations and
discredit. owing 10 some clash with
the government. Editors should be
especially cautious for in the next
few days they may make a serious
mistake.
Under this rule there is a sign of i'll
omen for harm my in business Or la
bcr affairs. Unrest, discomfort and
open rebellion are foreshadowed.
War problems most unexpected will
develop during this month when in
The Washington herald., 1917-11-02

sidious influences will work among
The great mass of peoIle in the United
States and these will not be of for
eIgn origin.
Warning is given to importers or de-
signers of all costly things for women.
as they come under a sway making for
heavy losses, owing to some change
in public sentiment.
The stars tsat encourage secrecy
also breed suspicion and in the United
States distrust and discomfort may
develop strongly under the power of
Neptune.
1t is not a good day for making any
sort of contract of agreement.
Persons whose birthGate it is may
have annoyances in business. They
should safeguard their health.
Children born on this day may be
toe fond of amusement for their own
good. These subjects of Scorpio may
be rather careless and impetuous.

And I'd like to know the man,"

Now. Dick. am not going to be

am going to say to you that one or
the greatest mistakes man can
make is to calmly go on in the pleas

paid a woman the dubious compliment
of marrying her. she thereby becomes
immune from the fascinations Of other
men.
"Oh, Dick, when will your Sex get
a glimmering OF the fact that women

to realize that there is always an

back to the question, 81 don't think

a smile.
Dick had the grace to blush.

Lingerie of Gray
Hue the Fad Now

Gray linen is the very latest thing
for lingerie and may, in time, become
the rival OF flesh color, which has held
sway for long time in the underwear
realm.
A Fifth avenue house advocates not
only linen of gray tone but also gray
satin for undergarmcnts for the young
miss. The theory is that, while the
fabrics are quite as elegant as any
used here tofore, the color Is very
much more practical for school girls
and their college elders.
Much Of the success of the Tin
gerie girls" will undoubtedly depend

all modern underwear had to undergo
that same severe test, with the re-
suit that those who could afford ex-
travagant laundry bills adopted the
novel colors, and those who could not
stuck to old-fashioned white in fairly
practical fabrics.

with fllet lace dyed the tone of the
fabric. Satin garments are trimmed
with crepe Georgette.

NOVEMBER WHIMS
BY LUCILLE CAMERON.

In the Powhatan lobby were a
young reserve officer and a blithe lass
whose fresh complexion was irresisti-
bly, reminiscent of those red and white
peppermint sticks we all used to eat.
While they were looking over his first
photographs in uniform, one couldn't
help noticing her unusual coat of
gray broadcloth lined with blue velvet
which, when striped with gray silk
soutache, also formed a generous col
lar and cuffs. A tam of the velvet
was striped likewise to the complete
satisfaction Of all beholders.
With an extremely well cut coat Of
biscuit toned velour, a spriShtly
young matron wore unique hat of yell
low felt appliqued with beige felt
flowers. To complete the garden ef-
feet, there was a beige Veil with em-
broidered vines trailing over it.
The dignified and gracious wife OF a
major of the Reserve Corps recently
went on a regular tour of inspection
of one of the nearby training camps
under the guidance OF her husband.
Her triS suit of checked brown velour
revealed just bit of her high necked
rows and rows OF fagotting AID little
pearl buttons. A toque of pheasant
plumage and brown walking boots
with tan suede tops were admirable
notes in a well-balanced costume.
A tall, svelte, blond dcmoiselle who
graced the ShOreham dinins-room
wore an original and very distinguish
ed suit OF apricot broadcloth and
golden brown velvet. The graceful
muffler collar, cuffs and skirt OF the
coat were of the velvet, while a mar
row band of mink marked the low
waistline. A dream of a large poke
hat in golden brown velvet was faced
with apricot and embroidered orchids
twined lovingly about the crown.
At a quite recent tea there was a
little black-cyed damsel who seemed
to have been created for the express
purpose of wearing her wonderfully
attractive frock of japanese red tai
feta. The skirt of which fell in cling
ing, slender lines below rather more
than a suggestion of a hustle. Long
sleeves of chiffon were thickly en-
broidered with crystal beads and
finished off with long tassels. The
young lady's dark locks were brushed
straight back from her face and fas-
tened in a snug know which was Sc
cured by a large intricately wrought
tortoise shell comb.
Taking a young naval officer down
to his office in her luxurious little
electric was a charming girl whose
debut last year was one of the most
notable affairs of the season. Her
coat of dark taupe broadcloth pos
sessed deep panels of wolf and an in
tricate triple belt. A small hat of
taupe velvet was trimmed with a
taupe ostrich band and posed demure-
ly over it's wearer's eyes.
A prominent Washington woman
who is noted for her intellectually
and activity in behalf of altruistic
movements was observed wearing an
elaborate afternoon gown of mallard
brown Georgette over peach tinted
charmeuse. Insets of beading in sever
al tones of pink furnished effective
decoration. A small chapeau of bronze
metallic brocade was quite guiltless OF
adornment while cape of sable
fringed with tails and n two inch bar
of diamonds and pearls gave an i'm
preston of amazing opulence.

WARTIME REFRESHMENTS.

1t is always possible to simplify re-
freshments and If we avoid as much
as may be be tabooed articles We can
still find many attractive things to
serve in the afternoon or evening.
While the ban remains on sugar We
may think It patriotic not to serve
bonbons. Salted nuts, although of
course they do not quite satisfy our
taste for sweets, still do satisfy our
desire for something to nibble on and.
as nuts are plentiful and as Europe
has made no demand on US for them,
we may eat them as much as we will.
OF course, nuts fill a vastly different
food need from that filed by sugar,
but, nevertheless, they may often be
served as dessert i1 place Of sweets.
