NIT other countries at will, advRn-
tage in Joining the union being mu-
tual understanding, sympathy, promo
tion and protection.
II representatives for the congress
could be chosen from former mem
hers of home congresses 1t might tend
to bring all legislative bodies more
closely together.
congress would be less on the part
OF each country than for the
maintenance of any considerable e
military equipment. Education would
go faT TO take the place OF bayonets.
Education could at least demonstrate
that from every point of view war
and anarchy do not pay. that II is
wiser and cheaper and more lasting
to negotiate than to steal and kill.
There is now little fear OF war for
some time to come. In the meantime,
when a more generous prosperity
comes about, largely aided by the
congress, and 1t is found desirable
to establish an international police
force, 1t would be an easier PROPOSE
tiOn than now-ln that tho burden
would be more evenly distributed.
Today all nations are less far apart

grandeur OF nations could be brought
about by methods now no longer un-

1t would be interesting, if one
had the necessary time, to trace q
cause and effect relationship be-
tween war and the bizarre IN
dress, Look over old prints Of the
Napoleonic period, and the women
wore, if possible, even less than
they have during the last three
or four years. The skirts Of the
Empire fashions were shorter
than any worn of late years, and
there was, without exception, the
same uncorseted effect Of siIhou-
cite.
Chroniclers Of court gossip, rich
in back-stairs detail, speak Of the
amount of cosmetics used by Jose
phine, Marie Louise, the Bona
parte sisters and their ladies. The
length and comprehensive detail,
with which these embellishments
are treated, suggest a modern tax
return in their sub-heads and
complications.

mess that seems to have been held
greatly in esteem, consisted Of
crushed strained strawberry juice
mingled with various oils and
greases into an emulsion. It was
smeared on at night, and was sup
posed to be a sovereign remedy
for freckles.
AS long as Napoleon persisted
in making a jig-saw puzzle of the
map Of Europe, fashions kept up
their hectic tempo. Color styles
and facial makeup were tuned in
key with the blare Of trumpets and
the rattle and crash Of artillery.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems Pitfalls the Workers
Especially for Washington Women

A week or ten days ago a girl
wrote to this column saying she
was too shy to make friends with
men, that she shut up like a clam
when any were about, and that she
was very unhappy over her fate
the letter was signed Lonesome
Twenty Three"
Up to date / have received for
e this girl eleven proposals Of mar
riage, fourteen letters from men
saying they should like to make
her acquaintance, and seventeen
from women stating they would be
glad to befriend her, and try and
see that she has a better time.
Forty-two in all, letters for a girl
whose chief claim to distinction Is
she shuts up like a clam when a
man is about"
Are these letters so many straws
showing that the wind has begun
to blow from a different direction,
and men-after a surfeit Of the
other kind-are looking about for
girls of a quieter type?
Personal IntrOduetiOns Taboo.
I am sorry 1t will be impossible
for me to forward any Of this mail
to Lonesome Twenty Three" as
personal introductions are taboo
in this column. But no doubt when
she realizes for the first time how
men really regard a sweet, modest
girl she will be less III at ease and
reader with the give-and-take Of
small talk.
l hope so, at any rate; because
this modest violet type Of girl
Is more than refreshing after the
Haunting. sunfower type that has
wearied our eyes at every turn for
the last few years; and which is
about as restful for war-jangled
nerves as a good screaming circus
poster.
l am going to quote part of one
of the letters that came to me
from a young officer In regard to
the shy little girl who "shuts up
like a clam" when a man is about!
What has become Of the old-time
girl that a fellow used to be able
to visit in her own home, instead
Of meeting on the street corner as
they do nowadays, and when the
man arrives, insist on taking him
TO some dancing place where she
can "shimmie," to her hearts con-
tent, then "home, James," in q
taxi?"
He goes on to say that what he
is looking for is a real pal who
will have seme interest in the sane,
wholesome things of life, and who
does not spend her entire time

New Fashions in Girls.
Spring fashions in girls seem to
be changing, for styles in girls
change as much as they do in
skirts, boots, or breakfast foods.
And perhaps the challenging young
person who has occupied the pub
lie eye so long, is getting to be
something Of a back number. Her
vivid complexion, her extreme and
scanty attire, her impossible shoes,
her bravado went with" the
clamor and confusion of war. But
now that we are getting back to
the paths of peace, our taste will
favor a more restful type then
Bellona of the hobble-skirt and the
impressionistic complexion.
Intimations Of the change are

Paying good wages is not charity
as Alt is the best kind Of business.
A business whose benefits come to
q halt m the company's office is not
q healthy business. The benefit has
got to circulate so that every man
who had part in creating and run
ming it has also q part in enjoying
It It is simple fairness.
II it is right for the manager of
business TO try to make it pay
larger dividends, It is just as right
that he should try to make It pay
higher wages. For wages are the
chief dividend-on the money side at
least-and more people are depen-
dent On them.
To hear some men talk you would
think that the returning soldier
would double our dependent popula-
ton. He is bringing up the reserve
force that will put the country over
the top.
The very best charity we know
anything about is to help a man to

moro productive work TODAY than he
did yesterday is a social reformer
OF the highest type. He is doing
something genuine. He is squaring
his own account with the world, and
helping others to square theirs.
And after work, the next duty ia
TO think. Nobody can think straight
who does not work. Idleness warps
the mind. 1t is a wonder we do not
hear more about that fact-that the
practiced hand gives balance to the
brain.
The genius walks into his success.
The rest Of US must work for ours.
The most dangerous notion a
young man can acquire Is that there
is no more room for originality.
There is no large room for anything
else. 8
Money for moneys sake Is a per-
fectly stupid motto. Money would be
as useless as a heap of brass checks

So that it is true that money itself
is not the whole of Success.
The day Is coming when goodwill
shall be the most valuable asset a
man can have.
Men are not divided by the kind
OF work they do, but by the kind of
