Womans Great Need
Common Sense
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Copyright by the New York Evening
Journal Publishing Company.
Every now and then a world-weary
and folly-weary man marries an lnno
cent, unwordly and “good woman.'
He wants the sweet home life he has
not found In the paths of Pleasure, nor
In the byways of License. He wants
the unmercenary devotion of a loving
woman, and he wants to* walk forth la
the broad light of day, unashamed, with
hie wife by his side.
It Is the Inevitable goal of every
worth-while man.
The world approves of such mar
riages, and the woman feels that she
li filling the highest mission of her sea
In reclaiming a lost sheep.
But how few such women know the
wise middle course to walk with such a
man.
It Is all very well to listen and be
lieve when he tells you he Is happlet
than he has ever been In hla life be
fore, and that his home Is dearer to
him than any club on earth.
But It Is far from very well It you
fall upon his neck and' weep the llrst
time he Intimates that he would like to
drop In at the club and talk with the
old chums for an hour.
The Poorest Method.
This is the poorest method you could
adopt to convince him of the greater
joys of home.
There Is a certain fascination In club
life to most men. There Is danger In
this fascination to some men. When a
man sickens of It and wants a home. It
Is because ho has had nothing but his
club, and because there Is a worthy el
ement In hts nature which calls for
something better.
The fact that he should want to visit
the old scene now and then Is not an
Indication that he Is sick of home or
that he Is wandering from the fold
again.
If the pasture Is sweet, and the shep
herdess kind and wise, the sheep will
not wander far.
If you have married a man who has
been over-fond of the fair sex and If
he Is kind and true and loving, do not
stand forever upon the alert lest he be
come disloyal to you.
Constant surveillance never yet kept
a man true. It has made many a man
unfaithful.
Altho your husband may have told
you over and over that you are ten-fold
more pleasing to him than any woman
he ever knew before he met you. that
does not signify that he might not like
to sit by some other at a dinner party,
or dance with some other at a cotillion.
It does not signify that he would not
enjoy talking with others, whom he re.
gards less highly than you.
In the association with the women
he does not love a man often most ap
preciates the woman he does love.
Should he take a seat by some other
woman and converse with her In your
presence, do not act sulky, distrait or
Injured.
That only makes you ridiculous and
unlovable.
Make Him a Willing Captive.
Altho your Innocence and unworld-
llness won your husband from the paths
of folly, those qualities will not keep
him at your side, unless you mingle
common sense and tact with them.
It Is easy for many women to be
brilliant and it Is easy for others to be
good. But It seems the most difficult
thing In the world for a woman to be
sensible.
Genius and virtue are everywhere;
but we must search for common sense.
Absolute loyalty, absolute morality,
absolute honor and cleanliness of life,
every woman' has the right to ask of
her husband. Tho best of his devo
tion and the larger portion of his leis
ure should be given her voluntarily,
hut to maks him a willing captive,
should be woman’s art, not to make
him a life prisoner, and the home a
reformatory, and the wife a suspicious
varden. always Imagining that the
Prisoner It planning escape.
The good wife must possess other
•mantles besides goodness to render
her marriage with a mere man suc
cessful.
Common Sense and Taet.
Common senae and tact must be two
■tranda of the rope to make It atrong
enough to. act as an anchor for the
domestic ship. The too good wife re
lies wholly upon ono strand and tho
•hip breaks anchor.
If your husband bas given up dies!
potion, do not Insist that he must let
his cigar go also.
if he has abandoned the gaming
'able, do not »ay that ho must give up
the social gams of cards a* well, to
make you happy.
If he has stoppsd all flirtatious re
lations with tho opposite sex, do not
ask him to relinquish all friendly asso
ciations with other women.
If he has come up out of a lower
Plane to your altitude, do not ask him
to stand forever upon a pedestal. Let
him walk upon tho earth among mor
tals and be satisfied.
In order to think him a good man,
do not ask him to be an angel.
" holesome, normal, aenalblo human
•xlngi are what we-all need to be while
«n earth, not disembodied spirits.
Clean thoughts, clean habits, clean
bodies and happy hearts and faces help
to make beautiful lives and homes.
Rut the too good wife sometimes sees
♦' ll where It does not exist, and by eus-
plclon and Insinuation ruins ber own
trances of happiness.
. In order to be a good wife, do not be
too good."
And remember "Thoughts are things"

SOME CHARMING FASHION HINTS FOR THE SUMMER
YOUNG GIRL'S FROCK.
This Is a charming design for a frock of blue and white wash ma.
terlal. The simple straight lines would be becoming to a slender, girlish
figure. The frock Is cut In semi-princess lines, very scant with a
scarcely perceptible curve at the waist and the elliptical shoulder line.
The yoke and nndersleevee are of white linen, embroidered In dark blue
tone of the dress stripes—of this also Is the belt The kimono sleeves,
the blouse front and either side of the center gore on the skirt are cut
out In wedge shape and laced with blue silk cord.
Highly popular Is the single rose
for hat trimming this season. Of
course, when used In this solitary
fashion It must be of tho finest
quality and most artistically
placed. This hat of leghorn has a
wldo pliable brim and high crown.
Flat motlfa of cream lacs are ap
plied on crown and brim, having
centers of pale liberty. On the
right, weighing the brim far down
over the face. Is the single rose
mentioned above—In this case a
delicate shaded pink, giving the
most beautiful touch to the color
scheme of the whole.
COAT SUIT OF TUSSOR.
Here Is shown a coat suit of tussor, In one of the blond shades
The coat blouses slightly both front and back and closing diagonally. Is
held at the waist by a crushed girdle of liberty, fastened with ornamental
buttons Narrow soutache decorates the shoulders and short kimono
sleeves. On the front are two ornaments, composed of soutache and the
fancy buttons. Tho skirt Is plain and scant and decorated with a sash
of liberty, held at the aide by a button. The hat worn with thla was
rough straw In a shade matching the gown, trimmed by loops of the-
braid and soft pink rosea.
&
Engagement Rings
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Tho other day a girl had her fiance
arrested on a charge of larceny.
It seems that tne young man had
bought hls engagement ring on tho in
stallment plan.
When the payments came due ho had
not tho money to meet them. In dls-
palr ho borrowed the ring from hla
flanco and returned It to tho jeweler.
The young woman, who Is evidently
more grasping than romantic, promptly
had him arrested.
She protests that she loves him. It Is
a case of “I love my sweetheart, but
oh, you engagement ring."
Naturally every girl who becomes en
gaged likes to have an engagement
ring; It la a token, a pledge of the
man’s love, and therefore very dear to
her.
But tho ring la really not of vital
Importance, and If she sincerely lovea
the man aha won’t fret If she does not
have & ring.
It’s tho Sentiment. Not the Ring.
A great many girls seem to think
that an engagement Is not genuine un
lees a diamond solitaire adorns the
third finger of their left hand.
That’s all nonsense, for It Is tho sen
timent, not tho valuo of the ring, that
C °If n you really love tho man, you will
love tho ring, whether It bo of dia
monds or a plain little silver band, slm-
ply because ho gave It to you.
I have seen a girt gaae with dreamy
adoration at a circle of diamonds, and
I have seen one gaae In exactly the
same way at a single little Inexpensive
turquoise. Both gtrls were deeply In
loye. and the value of tho rings meant
little or nothing to them; It wsa tho
sentiment that counted.
When you become engaged

Hag.
Don’t Mind What Others Say.
And don’t care what outsiders say.
If they express scorn or wonder at the
simplicity of the ring or the absenco
of one. Just say proudly:
"No, I have no ring, because I am
helping him save money, so we can bo
monied soon; I asked him not to give
me one. 1 * •
If your love for a man la dependent
upon the valuo of bis gifts to you and
tho money ho spends In entertaining
you. It Is a pretty feeble typo of love.
From tho moment you become en
gaged to a man. It la your duty to help
him save hla money, or to spend It
W The man who saves money for you Is
naylng you a far greater compliment
than the one who squanders It on you.
He saves because he longs for.the day
when he may/marry you. If you are
not satisfied with any pleasure unless
It costs a good deal, you are more of a
handicap than a help to the mao you
After all. tho chief pleasure Ilea to
being together, so why not be content
with Simple, Inexpensive forms of
am whst e You’ll Do, if You're Wise.
The man lovea you and, of count
hls greatest pleasure would be to lavish
gifts upon you; but If you are a wlao
girl you will put your foot down very
firmly on all such foolishness.
Tell him frankly that you love him
for .himself—not for hls gifts or an ex
pensive engagement ring.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
There Is ona girl who Is ths best of
all girls—the girl that both men and
women Ilka—the womanly girl.
’’Of all girls give ms the girly girl," a
man once said to me. “I think I ex
press the opinion of all men when I say
that the more feminine a girl la the
better we like her.”
Sometimes she Is a beauty and again
le can lay claim to no beauty at all—
that la, beauty of coloring ana Mature.
Her charm Ilea much deeper than that.
To begin with, she la sympathetic and
she understands msn.
, There are girls whose charms are
chiefly negative; they never make mis
takes, but neither do they have Inspira
tions.
Tho girly girl haa Inspirations; she
has an Intuitive perception of when to
say and do tha right thing, and her
Judgment la unerring. She la not
flirt, but she Is a coquette.
In a group of girls and men you never
find her doing all the talking and man
aging. Sho Is content to listen and
sha knows that every man In tha group
Is only too willing to serve her.
But aha Is absolutely true to her own
sex, la the girly girl, and Is never
guilty of a meanness where girls and
men are concerned.
Bhe Is popular from babyhood to old
ago.
Little boys, big boys, young men and
old men, all succumb to her charms.
As a little girl, aha may bo a hoyden,
but she Is never rough and she knows
when to let boys help her and when to
be Independent.
She avolde the feminine pit-fall of
over-dependence. The clinging type of
girl cloys eventually.
The girly girl haa many men friends
who are not hi love with her. but they
thoroughly enjoy her friendship and
tha ready sympathy she gives ths re
dial of their love affairs, woes and
joys.
"I’m not a bit In love with her, 1
man once said to me. In speaking of a
girly girl. "We are bully friends and
I’ve told her all about Polly; but,” ha
added honeetly, "I could be In love with
her If I hadn’t already fallen In love
with Polly."
That’s the great charm about that
kind of girl. All men are not In love
with her, but no man would count It a
hardship If obliged to marry ber.
And tnalde of a month he would bo
In love with ber; he couldn’t help It.
Don’t for a moment tblnk that the
girly girl la only found In the home
environment. You find her In ehope. In
ofllces, In factories. In schools. In serv
let; she Is tvery place, this golden
girl, and always aha la loved and re
spected.
If you are lucky enough to win her,
take her to your home and heart, and
guard her as the most precious of your
possessions.
Just as women like a manly man, to
do men like a womanly woman; It la
the natural law of opposition and se
lection.
The girly girl develops Into the worn
only woman.
1 would like my brother or any man
whom I cared for, to marry a girl oi
this kind; because I know that ahe haa
the power to make a man happy and
to hold hla love.
The strongest point about the girly
gtri’s charm la that It la not In the
least dependent upon good looks.
Some of the beat loved women In
history have been plain of face. But
every one of them was feminine from
heed to foot.
If you are In love, you are to be con.
gratuiated, for love, even If It be un
reciprocated. la good for everybody.
But if your love Is returned ami the
The Modem Diaita
When a Girl of Today Seee a Man She
Would Like For a Hueband She
Wattes No Time in Preliminaries,
But Hunts Hunts Him Down
at Ones.
By DOROTHY DIX,
' The time-honored theory that. In
matters of the affection, man was the
pursuer and woman tho pursued, haa
always, probably, been a good deal of a
myth.
It was one of those convenient fic
tions that women Invent for their own
advantage, and men accept, because It
Is pleasing to their vanity. Without
doubt most women picked out their
husbands blfore the men were awaro
of ths ladles’ amiable Intentions toward
them; and It Is likely that tha most
shrinking violet could have told. If she
would, how sho happened to get pinned
on the particular coat lapel whereon
she was worn.
Heretofore, however, women have
carried on ths love chase under cover.
They have disguised their traps. They
have pretended to run from a man
when really they were running after
him.
To hla surprise, a man has suddenly
discovered himself stumbling over soma
particular woman at every stop of hls
pathway, but aha was always ready to
present a perfectly good alibi.
Sho was there. It waa true, and ho
couldn't get away from her, but sha
always said ahe waa there by accident.
Certainly by accident, and In the end,
somehow, she made the man believe in
the accident theory and that ho dis
covered htr, and ho took credit to him
self for It, and for winning her, whereas
the truth was that he never at any
time had tha slightest chance of escap
ing her.
Diana Hunting In tha Open,
For many generations women have
practiced these tactics for the promo
tion of matrimony and tha satisfaction
of man. and so It Is a matter of some
wonder to note that this ancient plan
of campaign la rapidly being discarded
by the modern young woman, and that
Diana haa come out of tha sequestered
woodland and la hunting In tho open.
Tho young women of today have
given the old convention respecting tho
relationship between the sexes a Jolt
from which It will never recover, and
which makes older people simply sit up
and gasp. For these gtrls—and they
are nice girls, good girls, girls In good
positions In society—frankly take the
nltlatlve In furtherng an acquaintance
with any man they meet who happens
to strika their fancy.
A young man with whom I am ac
quainted, for Instance, la an attractive
youth, with a handsome face, a glib
tongue and a certain way with him. Ho
la not rich, nor has ho any brilliant
prospects, nor Is he particularly eligible.
Neverthelese he l« simply persecuted by
the attentions of young women.
He will meet a girl at a party, for
Instance, and the next day he will get a
note from her saying that her mother
Invites him to dine on a certain date.
Not being smlttan with the girl, and
being overrun with engagements, ho
will decline. In a few days another
Invitation will coma that will also bo
declined. Then another, and another,
and another, until finally ha la simply
coerced Into accepting.
As the girl likes him on further ac
quaintance, she pursues her advantngo
and the youth finds himself forever
dangling at her heels. In her house, or
as a member of her theater parties, nr
In her father’s motor, and all really
against hla will.
What the Phone Qirl Hears
Nor la this an Isolated case. A girl
who waa a telephone operator told ma
not long ago that tha conversations
that went on over the wire between
young woman and man were Incredible.
She said It waa a common thing fur
girls to call up thsir men acquaint
ances and reproach them for not hav
ing called, and when the men showed
reluctance to do so, and made flimsy
excuses, the girls would simply Impor
tune the men.
Tha mothers
are living at home
to tho fact that tho modern girl Is a
sentimental hustler, and they havs
some very scathing remarks to make
about the way that the young woman
to be congratulated ten times over, and
to bv envied by less fortunate men.
