When Woman Goes A-Wooing
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

dangerous, she must be careful not
TO let him find out that she Is in love
with him and intends to marry him.
One OF the most precious illusions
that men cherish is that they have
| right TO the initiative in courtship
and they never knowingly surrender
this. Likewise men are sportsmen and
the harder It is 10 get a thing, the
more they desire It
Hence II is fatal for a woman to
let man discover that she is more
in love with him than he is with
her. II convention gave women the
right to propose II would do them
no good. Every man would say,
No thank you" Therefore the
successful husband hunter must
draw her quarry into her traps by
pretending to be always running
away from him.
The third and last point. that
the woman who goes a-wooiug
must bear in mind is that every
woman has to be her own press
agent and convince the man she
wants that he wants her. and she
must do this with such finesse that
he never discovers her fine Italian
hand in IL.

what they want in a wife as they
know what they want for dinner.
They eat what is set before them
and they marry the kind of wom-
al they happen to be thrown with.
That is where propinquity gets in
Its deadly matrimonial work
And IL is where a woman has her
innings IL she has the sense TO
take II. Let a woman make a
dreamer believe that she under
stands him. or a lonely man that
she is his soul mate, or a business
man that she is thrifty, or a hypo-
chondriac that she will nurse him
and take care of him. and he is
hers for the taking, though he
might never have found it out alone
and unaided.

Do all the modern blushes live
in little boxes?
Are 1919 girls incapable Of the
self-starting blush?
That's the opinion OF one Of "our
boys" Just back from "over there"
At any rate he's going about his
own United States announcing to
his girl friends that he hates
ready-rnsde compilations, that most
present-day girls are too brazen
to blush, that blushing is a lost art
for which the female OF the species
has substituted the art OF camou-
fiage"
Let us examine the matter SCI
entifcally. Are modern girls too
brazen to blush-eGcept out OF a
box? Not at all. Modern girls
can blush quite as prettily and
often as their grandmothers-ano
DO, on proper occasions. II is only
that the blush has become stand
ardiIed, and the little rouge pot
and pun is simply the blUsh re-
dueed TO such efficiency that II can
be produced when and where
needed,
Dear old Noah Webster, who wrote
the worlds best seller reports that
"a blush is q sudden reddening Of the
cheeks by a suffusion OF blood, caused
by modesty, shame or confusion
Now il Is manifesuy impossible for
any girl to go about in a continual
state Of modesty. shame, or confusion
which produces the becoming blush!
II is also evident that the blush is
immensely popular with men-accord-
ing to history. poetry, drama and per
sonal testimony. both ancient and
modern! What, then is more reason
able than that women should strive
for some method Of producing the
blush, the popular, charming, we'll
beloved blush-by some common-sense
means which shall insure the desired
result without the tedious, painful
and uncertain process originated by
nature?
But II the practical complexion
blush has been found and stsndsr~
died another lot Of perfectly super
huous bushes have been lost BY the
modern woman!

Nine. Housekeeper. have you re-

II not, this is a good time to clean

sorting and organizing, and replacing
outworn utensils used every day. and
adding to the equipment such pieces
as have proved real time and STEP
savers to numberless housekeepers
Most kitchens are cluttered with
tools seldom or never used-with pots
and pans too large for use except on
special occasions. These large uten-
sils should be retired to upper shelves
or storeroom. where they will be out

II is surprising with how few tools

also surprising at what small cost

HOROSCOPE.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY "A, 1918.

Saturn rules strongly for good
this day. according to astrology
Early in the morning both Mars and
Neptune are adverse.
This should be fortunate sway
under which to undertake real es-
tate or building operations There
is a prognostication OF benefit from
construction enterprises during the
spring months.
Farmers have q good omen today.
There is a forecast that seems to
indicate the use OF new machinery
and improved methods OF husban-
dry.
Europe will contribute TO agri-
culturists' ideas as far as intensive
farming or methods of thrift are
concerned, il is predicted.
Trouble over the adjustment of
army and navy matters may arise,
owing to the power Of planets that
emphasize personal ambitions
The forces that make for mate
rial gain are strong during this
conhsuration and II is an auspicious
time to make connections with men
or corporations that have won sue
cess.
One Of the malefc planets today
Is believed TO cause deceitfulness
and even untruthfulness. A tendency
to exaggerate will be noticeable.
The drama will receive an impetus
through some great movement that
will benefit the people.
The seers foresee much discussion
concerning the relations Of men and
women socially as well as indus
trially.
Growth of religious feeling and
spiritual consciousness will be evil
dent in the gradual evolution of
after-war conditions. If the stars
are read Alright.
4 new attitude toward work will
be one of the permanent benefits
derived from the war. astrologers
declare for the planets foreshadow
general industry and increasing re-
spect for il.
Persons whose birthdate IT is may
have some concern about health and
wealth during the coming year.
Those who are employed should be
careful.
Children born on this day may
be rather hard to control and too
generous for their own good. These
subjects OF Pisces are not usually
fortunate in business.

lift cooked food from pans, and to
aid in getting puddings, jellies. etc,
out Of molds. A dozen other uses
will suggest themselves to the cook.
The hater of dish-wsshlng will
praise and adore the simple plate
scraper made by inserting a flat piece
OF hard rubber in metal holder and
giving It a handle. II costs the whole
sum of 10 cents and Is worth its
weight in silver in the mussy job OF
scraplng up after meal To keep
sanitary. wash carefully In hot water
after using and then harden the rub
ber In cold water.
Az egG-separator costs 5 cents and
is worth a dollar when II comes TO
baking day. Separs ting the yolks
and whites OF six eggs is no job at
all with this help. Set II over a cup,
break the egg over 1t, and the yoIk
falls neatly into the center. while the
white slips through the slits into the
cup.

Small aluminium measuring spoons
three on a ring-measure one-quar-
ter. one-half and one teaspoonfui.
They save the bother Of leveling a
spoonful and dividing 1t and provide
for exact measurements.
The glass measuring cup is the next
convenience. II costs 10 cents and is
worth it in its saving of spoiled
dishes by insuring correct measures.
A little pitcher spout for pouring
liquids adds to its value.
The grapefruit knife is useful in
loosening orange and grapefruit pulp
from the skins. in getting the eyes
out Of potatoes. coring apples. and In
many other places where a curved
knife-bl3de Is handy.
Perhaps the l0-cent vegetable brush
is handlest OF all. II is essential in
cleaning root vegetables and is ar
