said one of the matrons, II gave her
only one piece of advice and that
was to consult Henry, about some
thing or other, at least three times
a week. Of course Mabel always
does exactly as she pleases, but she
makes a great point of consulting
Henry"

Exactly, the consultations es-
tablished Henry's position as the
head of the house, but of course
she never asks him about anything
important. She says: Henry, do
you think the grass ought to be
cut? and of course, she makes
strong point of agreeing with him
whatever he decided about the grass.
And she lets him take little Arthur
to the barber and have the poor
child's hair clipped, till he looks
like peeled onion, for my son-in-
law has strong convictions on this
point"
Consultation Denotes Sympathy.
Consultation denotes sympathy, it
was conceded in the talk that fol-

genuine sympathy will fail to real

He does not at ali object to an
invisible power house that runs
everything-himself included-from
some unobtrusive angle of the do

power house concealed by clinging

Men may admire women-at long
range-for their intellects, but they
love them for their weaknesses, for
in contemplating weakness one feels
endowed with strength.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

The other day several women
were having lunch together in a
restaurant and, as usual, the con-
versation turned on men and the
type of women men admire.
The consensus of opinion was in
favor of the clinging vine, either
genuine or camoufaged, Some of
the opinions were as follows:
Mary graduates the first of June,
and how l am going to keep that
scandal about her dark is what is
puzzlng me-"
We looked at Mary's mother in
blank amazement. She was the pic
ture OF cheerfulness, and here she
was glibly mentioning scandal in
connection with her daughter.
We'll, what is the scandal"
some one asked, who suspected a
joker in the statement.
The scandal about my lovely
daughter that l hope to conceal I'M
til she is safely married is-she is
clever. She actually enjoys good
books, good plays, and she has opin-
ions about things"
But ! thought they liked them
clever nowadays" someone said,
But Mary's mother, who has sons
as well as daughters, shook her
head: They pretend to, but their
ideal is still the doll-baby type, clad
in fluffy ruffles and afraid of a
mouse"
A Premium on Deficiencies.
And the highly successful matron
continued: THAT is why woman is
still in the crawling stage of her
development, and why SO few &C
quire any degree of self-expression
even though they are gifted with
exceptional talents. Man puts
premium on her deficiencies, and to
please him a woman must cramp
her gifts as Chinese women used to
cramp their feet"
We stood up for the men for a
decent interval and said they ad-
mired brains, efficiency and execu-
tive gifts, but eventually everyone
wound up by agreeing with Mary's
mother that, in spite of all that
women have accomplished during
the war, to prove their brains and
ability. the favorite 1919 model of
femininity is the weaker vessel.

off the wives of the worlds most
eminent men.
l wish it were possible to cali
the roll of this: "Brainless wives
of eminent men" series, if only to
show how really clever women can
be when they are genuinely reused.
But the "brainless wives" series
had been compiled from ladies too
high in station to point morals and
adorn tales. Suffice to say that
another woman present had the
grace to remark:
These brainless wives showed
sufficient intelligence to pick win
ners, didn't they?"
Did they pick, or were they
picked?"
Mary's mother smiled 1--WE in
variably do the picking, but Curl
ously enough the men never found
it out till along came that tattling
1rishman Bernard Shaw and gave
away our pretty little scheme"
Clever as You Please, Only
"The trick as l understand it,"
said the very happy wife of sue
cessful man, SIS to be as clever as
you please, only do not let your
sin be discovered"
Someone sighed and said:
Everyone realizes that good edu-
cation is a matrimonial handicap to
a girl even in 1919. But if we send
our daughters to a Miss Pinker-
ton's'-and believe me these schools
flourish today even as they did in
Thackeray's time-she may not
marry after all, and of what bene-
fit is her extensively cultivated ig-
norance then, poor thing?"
This point was duly considered
by five women, all of whom had
manageable daughters. And while
they conceded that education was
a handicap to marriage, the tremen-
dous over-balance of the sexes due
to war, made the fashionable litter
acy a bit risky.
If a girl does not marry she will
require some genuine education
with which to get through life, par
ticularly if she would take up
profession. And if she has been
sent to Miss Pinkerton," and
carefully and extensively trained in
the paths of ignorance, she would
have no foundation on which to
build.

hculty could be obviated by CAM

Night Walks In Woods;

Louise Fazenda has just finished
one of her wild-woman walking
trips. Louise insists that in an
other incarnation, she was a big
gray timber wolf. Every once in
while, when the moon is full, or
isn't full-anyhow, once in while,
Louise harkens to the call Of the
wild and goes out for an all night
walk through the mountain canyons
near Los Angeles. She says the
brooks are full of elves who sing
to her, and that all the little wild
people of the woods-the coyotes
and the red foxes and the night
owls-prowl around. too. One
night she took two of the lovely
girls who appear in the Paramount
Sennett comedies with her to hear
the night noises of the wilderness.

Makes Wrinkles Go

Nothing else nearly meets every re-

and tonic properties, it both tightens the
skin-thus naturally smoothing out the
lines-and improves capillary circulation
and nerve tone-tending to strengthen
loose tissue and bring about healthy
condition. Yet, powerful as the saxolite
lotion is. It won't harm your skin in the
least. And it's so easy to get the in
expensive ingredients at your druggists,
and SO easy to mix them.
Just dissolve one ounce powdered saxo-
lite in one-haf pint witch hazel-thats
all. Battle your face in this-immedi-

result. You look like you've lost years

Get yourself chained to your

Yes, the position of the dog is
