Dorothy DIX Tails
One Of Lifc's Little Ironies-1.
~ DOEoTHT DIX
Wossars Hishes4 Fad Wemsn Writes.


1t is one of life's little ironies that
men love women for their faults, and
not for their virtues. Perhaps that is
the reason that the feminine sex does
not make any. strenuous effort to
reach the higher planes but continues
to be silly, and frivolous, and incon-
sistent, and more concerned about its
complexion than its immortal soul.
For there is no woman who would
not rather be loved than to be right.
OF course men are quite unaware
of this idioSyncraSy. Every man has
his ideal of what a woman should be,
and particularly has he fixed ideas of
the qualities that model wife should
possess. There isn't a woman who
hasn't heard every man of her ac-
quaintance discourse by the hour upon
this subject. But the woman listens
with an inscrutable Mona Lisa smile
on her countenance because she has
observed that the women who come
up to a mans ideal never seem to fire
his fancy.
Also. she has taken notice that the
girls who are best fitted to make good
wives never have a chance to ke
wives, and that the married women
of her acquaintance who have the
most adoring husbands are not the
patient Griseldas but baby dolls.
Therefore, the wise virgins do not
take seriously mems structures upon
their weaknesses, and only the fool
ish ones attempt to make themselves
the kind of a woman that a man
thinks he desires. The others make
themselves what he really wants.
Take the matter of dress, for in
stance. There is no topic upon which
men expend SO much really heartfelt
eloquence as they do upon women's
love of dress. It is enough to raise
the hair on your head with horror tc
listen to what they have to say about
the wicked waste of time and money
that women expend in adjoining theiI
bodies, and you shudder as you hear
them tell how women ruin theil
health by wearing high heels, and
ehiffons instead of red flannel, and
how It grievsS men that women will
foolishly follow the fashion instead OF
not caring how they look as long a
they are comfortable.
There isn't man, to hear him tel
It, who isn't strong for the rationa
| dress for women. and who doesn't be.
heve that women should discard frilis
and furbelows. for nice, durable
| clothes, and flat heeled shoes, and
sensible hats.
But if you dress a woman up &C.
cording to a mans ideaf. wild horses
He would die before he would take
her to ball, or be seen in a restaur-
| ant with her. The lady he take:
abroad is the one who is dressed UT
| within an inch of her life, and whose
rags are so extremely glad that they
make everybody rubber.
Women know this, and they dres.
| for men, not for other women. II
proof whereof. take note that wher
| women are alone with women, they
| take down their hair, and discard
their straight fronts, and put on theil
flip-floppiest slippers and most com
! fy kimonos. It is for men that they
! don their warpaint and torture theil
hair into the latest and most fantastic
