These leather coats were worn
considerably by very smart women
in Paris last autumn because they

was that absence OF ornateness
about them that was in keeping
with wartime necessity. But they
still wear them. those women who
had them before the war ended.

The Discouragement of Virtue
Bv DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

The real reason why woman's ad-
yancement is 30 slow. and why so rev
women rise to the full stature OF
their womanhood 10 because men put
a premium on women's shortcomings.
and penalixe their virtues.
Men may admire theoretically what
is strong, noble. big. brave and tntelli-
gent in woman. but they do 1t ao-
stractly and at long distance. What
thew love and enjoy and cuddle TO
their hearts, and coddle and cherish, Is
the baby doll woman. The clinsing
vine is still the masculine ideal OF the
feminine article that Ii desirable to
have about the house. Never the oak
woman.
or course men will deny this. but II
is true, Just the same. BY their works
shall ye know them. and by the way
man treats a woman shall you take the
measure Of his regard for her. Let us
consider how the men treat the two
different types Of women.
Take beauty and brains as a nrst
test. Which do men fiock about most.
the peach or the college graduate!
Does it make any difference to men
how a woman's upper story is furnish
ed on the inside provided the outside
is beautiful? trow not.
1t is the girl who Is a good locker
who has her dances out into fragments
while the good student girl papers the
walls at parties. It Is tho girl who Is
a living picture who Is invited on Joy
rides and to theaters, and who has her
waystrewn with chocolate creams and
violets, while the intelligent young
woman sits at home and communes
with Bernard Shaw and Ibsen.
There isn't anybody who does not
know that for q girl to be above the
average in brains and for her to have
received q thorough education Is q
matrimonial handicap to her. No
hostess, who had a girl coming to
visit her and who wished her guest
to have attention from men, would
eves- dream of making such Q blum
der as to say the girl was we'll read
and intelligent No clever woman ever
let's men find out how clever she 10.
Men, as a class. do not like intelli-
gent women. and they viii not marry
them. Here and there il an exoep-
ton, but, as a general rule, the less
a woman knows the more apt she Is
to make q good match. This Is true
even among intellectual men. who
seldom seem to care for wives on
their own plane.
As second test Of how men penal-
ize women's virtues and reward their
faults, take the matter Of unselfish-
ness. Every woman who really loves
the man she marries has an instinc-
tive desire to sacrifice herself to him
She wants to make of her shoulders q
ladder on which he may climb to
success. She wants to stay in the
background and keep the spotlight
turned on him.
Thousands Of women do this. In
order to help their husbands get .
start in business they work their m
gers to the bone. and become misers

who grind the last cent out of every
nickel. That their husbands may pre-
sent good appearance In public they
60 shabby. That their husbands rest
may not bs broken at night they walk
the baby with the collie.
How do the husbands repay this
selfiess devotion? Generally by neg
lect. You will rarely see q case in
which Q woman has made q door
mat or herself for Q man where the
man failed to walk upon her. ana
Kick her out OF the way when she
got old and shabby and worn.
The wives who are kept in cot
ton wool. who are considered. who
are waited upon and adorned are
not the unsefish wives. They are
the women who are adamanttne
punches Of egotism. who have de-
manded every comfort and luxury
from their husbands and forced tho
the husbands to get them.
As . third proof Of how men pre-
Ter weak women to strong women,
take the question of a woman heip.
ing . man Every woman who loves
her husband longs above everything
! else to help him; but it is practically
impossible for her to do this with
out making him hate her. Perbap,
the flavor Of favors received Is never
| sweet in any mans mouth under any
circumstances. but when the stimu-
liant has been administered by q wou,-
ans hand 1t Ii gall and wormvood
on his lips.
That h why . marriage between
a poor man and q rich woman nearly
always spells misery to both. The
man wants the woman's money, but
he cannot endure the knowledge that
she has given II to him.
Nor 10 the woman who seeks to helm
her husband by earning money, and
relieving him Of the family burden In
any better case. Neither does the
woman who slaves at home to try
to help her husband meet with any
better reward. Neither are the women
whose intuitions and sympathy and
brains forge the weapon with which
. man hghte his way to victory called
on to share his laurel wrsatha
It 10 said there 10 q woman behind
the door Of every mans success. Per.
haps that n true. but II 1t is, when
he passes on to glory he still leaves
her behind the door and takes on with
him some woman who had no hand
In the manufacture of his success and
who believes that he made II all him
self. alone and unaided.
Alas, for human consbtency, men
want the help Of women, but they
never forgive them for giving It. They
need the strong wives who can put
their shoulders to the wheel and push
the family wagon out Of the rat, but
the wives they love are the ones who
can do nothing but loll in the corner
Of silk upholstered limousine.
Mem admire women for their virtues,
but they love them for their faults
and that's why being q wife is the
most hazardous profession anybody
ever followed.

Dear Mr.. Yohansen:

Dear Mr.. Yohansen:
l here that the Governor is coming
over in a few days. Daddy and Mother
were saying how sorry they are that the
Governor can't be entertained in the
Government House not having any fur
njture, which went back to Denmark in
stead of the francs and bits. Now that
things are so dear here, Mother is afraid
that if the Governor, is invited anywhere
folks wont be able. to give as big a blow
out as the people here usually like to give
those they only see once in a while.
Mrs. PiOus says we must be thankful
that things are not worst and we should
cur out such Injuries as shaves, hair-cuts
and postage stamps. After all she thinks
that the National Bank is only going dry,
and by the time it is bone dry N. B. may
stand for No Budget. EGGS are seven cents
now, and KraZy wants you to sprint this
little poem which he calls: The missing
Bird.
We have the little sparrow,
We have the yellow-breast,
We have the little doctor,
With his blue and greenish crest.
We have the little ground dove,
The solemn pelican,
The rather shy blue pigeon
That from above must laugh at man.
In the yard, the golden rooster,
Woos he still the speckled hen;
But without the Silver Eagle,
Eggs will soar to heaven, men!
Yours truly
