Reflections of Dorothy Dix.
The More Womaa, Costs Man, the More He Value Her-So Take This Tip Wives, and Don't Mark Your OaUn Price Tag Too LoU.

a pleasant, inexpensive evening in agreeable feminine society? They do not. They are left solitary and alone, with no more takers than a left over remnant on a bargain table.
 The men are all off chasing after the girls whose company is so ex- pensive that it will send them to the cafeterias for a week. Yet the golden girls are no whit more at tractive than the homespun ones.
 We just naturally value things by what they cost us. We are mad over orchids when we pay $15 a spray for them. Where they grow wild nobody notices them.
 The peculiarity of men that makes them value woman by what she costs them is of especial significance to mar ried women, and it suggests to the astute that the greatest mistake that wife can make is to make herself too cheap.
 It does not take female Sher- lock Holmes to discover that the best wives are seldom the best loved and the best treated. It is not the wives who toll, and save, and skimp, and go shabby, whose virtues are re- warded by hte devotion of their spouses.
 On the contrary, the women who hold their husbands to the end and whose husbands are proud of them, and boast of them, are the women r who, when there are any sacrifices to be made, and any heavy work to be done, let George do it, and who keep themselves young, and pretty and attractively dressed.
 Also, it is the women who demand things who get them. The cheap wom. an who will put up with cheap things always has to do it; but the woman who will have nothing less than the best gets it as her just due, and her husbands respect and admiration thrown in. Nor is the expensive wife the handicap she might be supposed to be. Many a man who would be con tent with doing little things himself is spurred on to make the effort that achieves a big success because he had to get his wife hmousines and pearls
 Men take women at their own valuation, and every man treats his wife just exactly as she demands to be treated. If she holds herself cheaply, and is willing to be door mat, he wlaks over her. If she con- siders herself nothing but slave, she will work like slave for her board and clothes, and will never have a penny of her own. If she will stand being talked to and abused like a dog, she will get dogs treat ment.
 But if she demands fair treatment, if she demands to be treated with courte. sy and consideration, if she demands admiration and appreciation, if she takes the queens seat, and holds it she will be looked up to and wor. shipped like a queen.
 Women write their own price tags,
 and they make the error of their
 lives when they don't mark up the price as high as the traffic will stand.

it is true that it is the bird of para disc, with gorgeous plumage, that ravishes a mans fancy, and not the quiet. domestic little hen who is busily scratching around in the barn. yard. The more that a woman costs a man, the more he values her.
 Of course, men howl with rage over the high cost of loving. They accuse girls of being grafters and holdup ar- lists. They declare that the latest in- carnation of Robin Hood wears abbre- viated petticoats, and uses a lip stick, and has bobbed hair. They wonder why a girl cannot eat enough before she leaves home to stay her until she gets back again, and why, when she has to be fed, she invariably orders the highest priced dishes on the menu. They grow sarcastic over the fact that the maid who thinks nothing of taking a ten-mile hike has to be conveyed two blocks in taxi, when there is a man to foot the bill.
 Furthermore, they assert that the reason they do not marry is because it costs so much to court girl that it leaves nothing to marry upon. All of which is true. Nobody will deny that the girl of today is a cheerful little worker, who is an artist in separating a man from his hard-earned dollars.
 But she is not entirely to blame. She has looked around a bit and observed that she has got to put herself in the luxury rating to make men want her. Otherwise, they pass her by and leave her on the shelf.
 For there are plenty of girls who are not in the de luxe class. They don't demand expensive entertainment They would be perfectly satisfied to sit at home with a man and pop corn or sing duets, or dance to the phono- graph instead of going to jazz palaces They don't expect orchestra seats iu a theatre. They would be tickled t6 death to go to the neighborhood movie
 But are these girls sought after by men? Do men crowd their little living rooms? Do men beseech them for dates, so that they can spend

My Neighbor Says:

To preserve the colors, wash an American flag in water to which alum has been added. Hang it while wet upon the flagpole, as it will dry more quickly and kept it's shape bet ter.
 Teach children the proper care of their books by having low book shelves around the walls and insist ing upon. their putting their books in place after the story hour.
 To keep the polish of the dining room table perfect, rub every three days wtth a mixture made of equal parts of olive oil and turpentine. Apply with n flannel cloth and polish with clean flannel cloth. Dull spots on other furniture may be treated the same way.
 After squeezing the juice from a lemon save the skin and after peel ing vegetables rub it over your fin gers. It will remove all diseoloration. Do not use water or soap until after rubbing your hands with lemon, as it sets the stain. -
 
 All fabrics dry at least two shades lighter than they. appear when wet after being dyed. It is therefore wise to dye a sample. first, dry it and then make changes in the dye liquor if the color is not what you want. You may have to dilute the bath, or you maX have to add more powder. If you ainl for a very deep shade of color on light-colOred material, you had better build up. the color, getting all you can the first time and then beginning over again with a fresh dye bath.

Ia response 20 n ninqurv made

as the result of a visit here sevc-
raj weeks ago of solicitors who de,
sired TO canvass FL Centre for sub

Secretary Coyle has received the
following information from the As
sociated Jobbers of Los Angeles.
We find solicitors are very
adroitly approaching merchants
with enticing skeleton pages, TO be
used in Los Angeles special cdi-
lions and with other propositions OF
3 similar nature.
We have had Il very thorough
investigation made Of "A number of
these publications, and find rs far
as an advertising medium is con-
cerned, they are practically value
less.
. We have n list of the bona fide
publications that are endorsed by
railroad employees rganizations.
and we suggest that no immediate
contributions or advertising con-
contracts be made without first
consulting this list which is on file
in our office. Each year we find
there is waste Of thousands of
dollars in the manner described
above.
The men who visited FL Centre,
wished to solicit the merchants for
advertisements and the general pub
lie for subscriptions to a magazine.
Upon investigating their PROPOSE
tion, Secretary Coyle refused to give
it his approval and the men claim
ed they were being Disseminated
against.
