facilities is making itself increasingly
felt at the big London stations where
during the weekend long line of trav
clers form at the booking offices hours
before trains are scheduled to start. No
extra trains are being put on for the

as soon as the seating capacity of the
train is full, hundreds are left waiting.

When the Domestic Girl Loses Out.
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

A young woman has propounded to
me the riddle of the sphynx. She
wants to know why the sensible girl,
! who is fitted to make a good wife, so
seldom has the chance to be one, while
silly little goose of a girl, who will
be the ruination OF the man she mar
rles. can commit bisamy as often as
she likes.
why do men pass over the domestic
girl for the fluffy-ruffles one?" she
asks. Men want wives who will be
good housekeepers. who are prac-
tical and thrifty, and will know how
to save their money. Why don't they
flock around girls who will make that
kind OF helpmeets. instead Of the baby
dolls, who don't know how to do any
thing but spend money and dress
themselves up? They don't, you
i. know. We sensible. practical, domes-
| tic girls seldom have a beau, or get a
| chance to marry. unless we are the
| second choice of some middle-aged
| widower.
| why isn't II as alluTing to a man
| for a girl to knCs how TO perform on
| the cook stove as 1t is for her to per-
form on the piano? Why isn't he
| just as much thrilled in holding a
hand that has few needle pricks on
| the fingers as he Is in holding one
that some other woman has been paid
! to manicure?'
Why. indeed! | wish that l could
! answer my correspondents question,
and tell her why a man is attracted
to girl by the very qualities that he
deprecates in his wife. and why he
marries a girl for one thing and
I blames her ever afterwards for being
It. but I cannot explain this peculiar
ity of the masculine psychology. No
body can. Least of all does the man
himself know why he picked out a
hand-painted parlor ornament. when
what he wanted was a useful kitchen
appliance. He simply docs, and for
the rest of his life wonders why.
OF course the kind of a woman
that man falls in love with is a
matter OF personal taste. and there
is no arguing about tastes Still,
one can suggest several reasons
why the homespun girl is not as
alluring to the masculine fancy as
the pink chiffon girl.
One of these reasons Is that the
practical, common sense kind of
girl generally overdoes the prac-
tical and common sense stuff She
lacks romance and sentiment, and
after all these are the veil in which
a woman must Clothe herself before
man sees her as the lady love of
his dreams. instead of just one more
female inhabitant of the world.
The very practiCality which
makes a woman a paragon of a
wife is her undoing as a lady love,
| because it keeps her from practic-
ing the little wiles with which the
expert feminine fisner or men bats
her hook for the catch. The prac-
tical woman cannot goo and coo

and gurgle over a man, because she
would feel like a fool IL she did
II. yet men like to be literally and
metaphorically chucked under the
chin and fused over. as If they
were babies. Neither can the prac-
ticaI woman talk to a man on any
but sensible subjects, and how can
discussion of the steel dividend,
or the best way to Hooverize" lead
up to popping the question?
Love making can only flourish in
congenial atmosphere, and the
practical woman does not know
how to produce it. Neither has any
man got the requisite nerve to up
and ask a woman to marry him I'm
cold blood. He has to be gently
and insiduously worked up to the
proper temperature. and the COM
mon sense woman hasn't that kind
of sense in her repertoire. Nor
does the practical woman know
how to jolly a man along. Instead
of telling him that he is the won
der of the ages, she candidly calls
his attention to his faults or short
comings. and points out his mis-
takes to him, than which no woman
can make a more fatal move IL she
desires to be admired of man.
Another reason that the practical,
common sense girl does not attract
men is because she stands too stur-
dily on her own two little feet, and
when a woman shows that she can
stand alone. the masculine tendency
is to let her do It. Helplessness in
a woman is the one quality that
appeals most to a man. That is why
the floppy dishrag woman can marry
early. and as often as necessity de-
mands.
A man always pictures himself as
knight rescuing a distressed dam
sci. 1t appeals TO his chivalry to
feel that he is protecting and sup
porting a clinging little thing. 1t
tickles his vanity and makes him
feel about seven feet high, and as
wise as Solomon for a girl TO ask
him what he thinks about everything
and to defer TO his judgment: and
has the better she can marry, and
the less useful she is to her hus-
band, the more he does for her. And
it is also where the practical, common
sense girl loses out.
But perhaps the real reason why
men are more attracted to the silly.

her time in adorning herself. instead
of to the practical. common sense
