I have received a letter from an
irate young woman who says:
What do you think Of a young
man who takes up FIVE years OF
girls time, coming to see her nearly
every night taking her TO places
monopolizing her society leading
everybody to think that they are en-
gagged when he's never so much as
popped the question to her, and then
goes away to live in another CITY
without even saying goodbye?
l think that the man is a Gao, and
a social dead beat But 1 think any
girl who lets herself be treated That
way is so silly that she ought not
TO be permitted to go atound without
A guardian. She should be locked up
in an asyIum for the feeble minded.
: There is no more difficult problem
that girls have to face than that of
what to do about the man who be-
comes steady company, but who
Shows no sign OF offering to bec"me
a steady support as a husband-one
q, the men who. as a homely old
woman once said TO me, Comes and
sits. and sits, but never courts"
In every community, and in every
grade of society, there are dozens OF
men who are professional beauN, so
To sneak, but who have no intention
I of Lurdenins themselves with a wife.
They like feminine society, and even
J ing after evening may be found en-
towing the cosiest seat by the fire in
winter. or the coolest chair by the
window in summer. in some woman's $
home. Women smile upon them, and
devote themselves to entertaining
them, but il is loves labor lost such
a man never makes good. He is simp-
ly a social CRATER. a love pirate. who
makes his women friends houses
serve him as a club, and often as a
meal ticket, without having to pay
the price.
or course, IL a middIe-aged woman
chooses to allow these social para
sites to attach themselves to her, II
! Is her own affair. After the first at
tractiyeness Of girlhood is gone, a
woman who desires attentions from
men has to pay for il by feeding
them and entertaining them. and il
is for her to decide IL what she gets
Is worth the money. Besides she is
either married. or the chances Of her
marrying are slight so the attentions
of the man without intention can &c
her little harm.
Far otherwise, however. is the case
of a young girl who does not know
how to protect herself. and is moi
/ aware even of the danger she runs In
permitting a man to monopolize her
who is merely amusing himself. Many
a young girls life Is blighted by one
of these constituencies scamps, who
leads everybody to believe that he is
engaged to her, and who drives away
all other suitors, and then calmly
drops out of the girls train. and turns
his fatal attention TO some other
young woman.
4 Nor is that the worst OF It, Such
men are frequently extremely fasci-
mating. and they not only take up a
girls time but they nh her heart 90

Fiction and Fancies of Interest to Washington Women ;:
By MARIE LA ROGUE

greatest tragic actress England has
ever produced. was of the aquiline
type, and our own Margaret Anglin,
who is usually regarded as the best
OF our emotional actresses, has a
nose that shows really beautiful
aquili.e proportions.
The girl who has an aquiline
nose may have waited in vain for
an American writer of modern
novels or short stories to portray
fair heroine possessing this type
OF nose. Rather small. straight or
slightly upturned noses seem to be
more in demand nowadays. Still
the nose that Is like an eagle's-for
aquiline means. of course, eagle
like-has had its admirers in liter
ature.
Edgar Allen Poe seems to have
regarded a well-formed aquiline
nose as more beautiful even than
a Greek nose. When he describes
Ligeia, who was his ideal of beauty
as well as of intellect. he says:
Nowhere but in the graceful me-
dallions of the Hebrews have 1 be-
held a similar perfection-the same
scarcely perceptible tendency to the
aquiline. the same harmonfously
NAS
spirit"
And Balzac In describing his
Madame de la Chanterie-one of
the most famous of all his women
characters-tells us that she had
"a rather sweet face, with soft,
coldly colored complexion, an aqui-
line nose. a benign brow. hazel eyes
and a double chin. the whole framed
in curls of silver hair"
Russian novelistI show a predi-
lection for heroines with aquiline
noses. For instance. there is Tur-
genes Mariana in Virgin Soil,
who. he says. had a round face, a
large aquiline nose. big bright eyes,
fine eyebrows. and thin lips" She
was regarded by the other char
acters-save. of course. by her rival
as being more than ordinarily
good looking.

all Miyo loves her "Kiku," and when she was
asked TO pose for The Herald picture, she selected
"Kiku' to pose with her.
Because" she explained. "shc is really, truly
Japanese doll, just | am really, truly Japanese
little girl"
Since coming to Washington, Myo has been
dressed entirely in American cothcs and the little
maid from Japan is beginning to like them, her
mother told the camera man, because she finds
il much easier to and jump in them than
in the stiff embroidered kmonos of her own land.
Miyo loves TO skip and run. too and with her
jolly little white poodle, Toddles, romps and races
around the Connecticut apartment, where she lives.
Sometimes she takes "Kku' out for a ride in the
doll carriage, and then she walks very sedately,
so that she will not spill her favorite or shock
her with her American manners

In the far-away home of little Miyo Fujii, the
3-ycar-old daughter of Keinosuke Fujii, third
rotary OF the Japanese Embassy, and Madam Fuji
the people celebrate Dolls Day, when both the
little folks and grown-ups pay tribute to the queens
of nurseryland
In the nursery and heart of little Miyo, "Kiku,"
her big black-eyed Japanese DOLL rules supreme
partly because she is, of course, the most beau
tiful doll in Washington but mostly because she
reminds her little mistress of their own home in
the land OF cherry blossoms
OF course there other toys and dolls in
Miyo's nursery big yeow-haired beauties, with
blue eyes and stiff little white frocks just like the
ones Miyo is learning to wear, and big brown
teddy bears that growl when Miyo squcczes them,

that there is no room in IL for the
honest man who may love her. and
whom she might have loved. il It had
not been for the man whose atten-
tions were without intention.
All of us know beautiful and at
tractive women who have once been
bellies in society. but who do nor
marry, and as We see them drifting
into old msidenhood we wonder at A.
We should know the answer IL We
knew the girls secret-that she gave
all her love to the man whose delicate
courtesy, whose tender speeches.
whose constant visits she took to
mean love, and for whom she waited.
and waited in vain.
Strangely enough. the working girl
is peculiarly the victim OF these social
dead beats. The girl who tolls for her
living is thrown intimately with men
who find her, oftener than not. bright,
vivacious. and entertaining. and IL Is
a common custom for many OF these
men of a higher social grade than
hers to form a habit Of dropping in
two or three times a week for a visit
to a Young woman whom they know
they will find entertaining. and anus
ing, and sympathetic. but whom they
have no idea OF marrying.
Sometimes they throw a SOP to
honor by telling such a girl they
are not marrying men They make
a great outward parade OF platonic
friendship. but the platonic pose
does not keep the girl from falling
in love with the man. nor from
believing that sooner or later he
will arrive at the proposing point.
The man never does. but only too
often he keeps away from the girl
the worthy young man of her own
position in life that she might
have married.
or course in discussing this quos-
tion of a mans attentions to a Eiil.
one must keep within the bounds
of reason. A man can't be cN-
pected to propose to a woman the
first time he calls upon her. nor
would she desire IL. but no honora-
bic man should make his attcn-
tions a continuous performance uu-
less he means business. In sport
ing parlance. he should put up or
shut up after he has been visiting
a girl for a few months. He should
remember that youth Is q girls
harvest time, and that he has no
right to expect her to waste it up
on him.
As for the girls, they should re-
feet that IL we don't look after
our own interests. ourselves. no.

for us, and after they have given

There should be a time limit on
courtship. and every man should

his attentions.
