Winning a Husbana.-

How to change these comradely
men into lovers and husbands is the
problem that confronts thousands of
young women. 1t is a difficult task,
and one that each individual woman
must work out for herself; but per-
haps no better remedy for the general
situation can be suggested than to try
the shock treatment
The trouble with a great many
women is that they let themselves be-
come habit to the men they love. Il
"a woman knows that the man on
whom she has set her heart depends
on her for sympathy, she is always
there ready to hand him out the glad
hand or tears, according to his demand
on her. If she knows he depends on
her for companionship. she is ready
to trot around the golf links with him,
no matter how she loathes 1t, or to
automobile with him tho she quakes
in terror every minute of the time
or she lends a listening ear while he
discourses on the grocery trade, OF
stocks, or politics, or whatever other
subject he is interested in, and about
which she only cares because he cares
If she knows he depends upon her
for comfort she will work her fingers
to- the bone to give him the food he
| likes, and to have his chair, and his
smoking stand, and his reading lamp
Just at the particular angle that he
prefers them
And in time the man comes to take
all this devotion with the same calm
acceptance that he does the sunshine,
and the beauty of nature, and the
graciousness of life. The woman does
not exist as a woman in his Conscious
ness, but simply as a thing that gives
SAVIOR to life. He does not even
recognize how dear and precious. a
woman is to him until she leaves the
scene.
That is why many men who have
been Indifferent husbands are heart
broken widowers when their wives
die. The measure of their loss is the
measure of their love. So 1 would
advise any woman who wanted to win
the modern man to first make her
self necessary to his happiness and
comfort. and then to suddenly remove
herself from his vicinity.
Shut the door that has always been
open to him, Take away from him
the companfonship upon which he
leans, and il that does not make him
realize that his liking is loving. noth-
ing will. AZ z-ss

In fact. everything about a man is
significant. There is no effect without
a cause. Every move that a man
makes, every line in his face, every
infection of his voice, the way he
combs his hair and the way he dresses,
the way he sits in, a chair. and the
way he walks are all tell-tale. if only
sse could understand them. And these
systems for reading character which
are springing up in such number are
all based on this fact. They are steps
toward the founding of a science of
human personality. and If it ever be-

CROW CONSIDERED ALL-WISE
Basis of Faith Among Eskimo Indians
More Of Their Queer Customs
and Superstitions.

t.'The crow made everything. He is
all-wise. When he flew, he made the
waters. When he dropped his feath-
ers, he made people" Such is the
basis of faith held by Eskimo Indians
throughout Alaska. Other native GUS
toms and superstitions include the fol-
lowing:
Heles are pierced in the lips, nose
and ears of each girl baby, when eight
days old, so that she may later wear
heavy strings of beads suspended from
the holes. When a mother dies, her
newly born child is buried with her;
generally no one wishes to keep it.
A potlach is held in honor of a dead
chieftain or other notable, feast last
ing for several days, at which all the
guests are given presents.
Upon the death of any man, work
must cease in the district for four
days, lest his spirit. be disturbed on
it's journey. In the case Of woman.
spirit travels more slowly.
Marriage is trade between the
man and the woman'S mother, in
which the bride has no choice. In fact,
a woman is the very last considera-
ton of her husband. He cares for his
gun first, his children next, and his
dogs and wife last Of all. Often
woman carries one child on her back
one astride her neck, while she pulls
along the stream boat in which her
husband is sitting.

4 is hard to decide which of two
things is most vitality interesting
to the female of the species, and they
are the clothing she wears and the
furnishing of her home. Except for
the care and thought she bestows on
her family, nothing engrosses her as
these things do. 1t is an instinct with
women to want to be attractively
clothed and to make their homes at
tractive, and let us hope that these
things will remain uppermost in her
ambition.
A great deal Of attention is given
now to pillows for different parts Of
the house-tIose for the living room,
the porch and the bedrooms-which
they help to make inviting and rest
full. Cretonnes and other cheerful and
durable fabrics serve for porch fur
nishings, silks, tapestries, pushes and
other more pretentious fabrics take
care of the living rooms, while bedroom
or boudoir pillows avail themselves of
dainty laces, embroideries, silks, rib
bons and even georgette crepe and chif-
fons.
Most of these boudoir pillows are
first covered with silk in light colors

THE choice of a tailored suit for
Il spring gives one more concern
than any other item in the wardrobe,
except the hat that Is to go with it.
The woman who knows how to clothe
herself correctly, from head to toe
for the street. in transformations but
elegant garb, as full Of style as it is
quiet-well, she will command admira-
ton. No one can outshine her. She
must begin by studying her own pc
culiarities, considering her figure and
her own. style. Some women look best
in the plainest suits, but they are
rather few.
Women of this day have a great adj
vantage because the needs of all fig
ures and all styles are very carefully
studied by professional designers.
They plan to conceal the angles of
women who are too slender and to
lengthen the curves of those who are
too stout. They incorporate new
style features and manage them
adroitly, and they introduce color or
omit it, so as to suit every one.
The new spring suits are swinging
away from the fanciful styles of the
past season and are somewhat plain

er. Vests in contrasting colors and
made of silk. for which there was a
furore last spring, have reappeared,
but they do not dominate the styles,
for there are many coats without
vests to be worn over the popular
lingerie waists. Braid and buttons
are sparingly used, embroideries -four
ish and there is pronounced liking
for neat effects. Coats are shorter
than they we're; jacket styles have
attained some Importance; skirts are
about shoe-top length, the extremely
short models which Paris launched,
finding themselves rejected in this
country. The two suits shown above
may be taken as types worth consid-
ering; that one having vest of cross
bar fantasi silk and vertical accordion
plaits in coat and skirt revealing new
features in the mode.

Experiment With Wild Geese.

A familiar harbinger of spring in por-
tions of the eastern United States is
the passage northward, flying high
overhead, Of honking fiocks of wild
geese. These Canadian wild geese are
supposed to hatch their young beyond
the Arctic circle, but they migrate to
warmer southern regions to spend the
winter. One of the most interesting
experiments in changing animals to
new homes is that of a New Zealand
society in introducing these geese to
the southern hemisphere. From be-

Of birds, a flock of 300 has been devel-
oped, and fresh blood has been lately

The wild-eyed Swedish maid admit
