"D O I get my own way?" the young I iLr married woman asked the i pseudo-palmist who wu presiding at a i charity bazaar. I; The pretended palmist gazed at the : soft white hand. , ; "No," she said, "you don't." "Well, I just do." assented the other i :decisively. "I just don't let up till ' John gives in to me." Then she strolled t ' on to the next booth. "She tells the truth there," said an acquaintance, who had been listening. "She nags and nags, or else she cries, !;and, finally in desperation, her husband I gives in. And then she crows about it." "If I had known that," said the pre- tended palmist, "I certainly would have ; handed her one as to her future. And ; It wouldn't have been guess work .either. You can count on what will ! happen to those two as sure as you J can add two and two to make four." ; "You certainly can," said the ac I . quaintance. "And it Is a pity. too. Her "' husband is a nice fellow. . But he will either become resigned and just stolid- ly endure the life she makes him, or - some day he will kick over the traces, and there'll be either a divorce or an , infirmity,' as the old darkey called an ; affinity." : , "But don't she see how selfish she ; is?" inquired the pseudo-palmist, in ; dignantly. "Can't she see that she ; really loesn't love her husband when '. she never considers him at all, but just wants her own wishes gratified t all the time? Now and then, of course, lier way might be the right way; or i it might be all good and proper for lier to do as she wishes. But simply jways to want her way, because it is BROADCLOTH WEAP " " r ns h ft i 1! fUdv ; zt&?v$& 1 'Jf-vw isjf rjTS m . lf- , - . , m , lis '-r!;'f ; "l v' A striking new wrap is the above model of navy blue broadcloth, with trimmings of white wool braid. The cape was designed in Vienna and is practicable to wear over the pretty, crisp Spring frock. hers, and to contemptibly use tears to get her way, for lots of soft-hearted men can't see a woman cry, and then to gloat over a triumph won in this fashion, is almost as small and mean as anything a wife can do." "That's quite true," observed the ac quaintance, cynically. "But that's the programme of many a wife. And that's the sort of outlook many a husband has. It is a case either of always giving in, or always quarreling. Some men are heroic enough to shoulder their burdens and make the best of them. But it is mighty hard on them." "Especially," said the pseudo-palmist, "when you think how happy they both might be, if she would be considerate. jByJtditfilfn&JitlfoImes.

The athletic girl's clothes this season savor strcngly of the English influence. From the tips of the sturdy little walking boot to the crown of the soft felt hat, the clothes are English. A suit of etthir cravenette, cheviot or tweed is desirable. The skirts are plain with added fullness to permit ease in walk ing; the coats are loose with the Nor folk effect. A waist of tub silk is worn with the suit which has a soft turn-over collar with a four-in-hand tie. The flimsy lace underskirts are re placed by knickerbockers and bloom ers. The satin and brocades are dis carded for the most serviceable ma terials, and the whole general appear ance gives one a vision of a fishing stream or the shady woods. A smart suit for golf or tennis is of a soft mixtu'-e of tweed with plenty of large pockets, a feature which appeals to every woman. The skirt and coat are both trimmed with large button! to match the material. An attractive hunting suit may be developed from green cravenette. A tan Angora hat is worn to' match the waipt and tie of tan wash silk. The Russian sport coats are especial ly attractive. They are made of plaid cheviot with a wide belt just below the waist line. The coats are full and fall below the knees. Another model is one with the belt :it the waist line with large buttons all the way down the front. The model is developed from plain material with velvet collar and cuffs of a different color. boilcitH SuliMcriptionx to Mainlines). A HEHAL1S, Waslx., Feb. , 27. A hovel way for a girl to make pin money, whether she lives In a city or country, is to take subscriptions for a popular woman's magazine. Several magazines have pin money clubs. Join one of them and you will receive "some lucky hints and other useful supplies." The club's treasure box is running over with bright, gold coin, waiting your demand; the only limit to the amount you draw is your own ambi tion. By getting subscriptions you retain a certain amount for yourself, the rest sending to the club; besides you receive an additional salary ac cording to the amount of work done, with dainty "encouragers" to show how very much they are interested in your success. Before calling on i prospective subscriber, saturate your self thoroughly in the magazine's at mosphere, know all telling points, and you are bound to succeed. Of course one will oftentimes meet objections; a woman will say, "I can t afford it then suggest a six-months' subscrip tion. Another "last resort" method worth trying is to suggest two friends or neighbors taking a subscription to gether, each paying half price. I do this kind of work in my spare moments. Last Summer I earned about S225 in three months. Your sal ary depends upon the time you devote and the saying is: "She can who thinks she can." MISS C. G. Presses Trousers of Father. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 26. I am a 16-year-old " girl, and I find that I can earn quite a little pinmoney at home by pressing . trousers for my father and older brothers, for which they give me 25 cents a pair. Often they give me other little odd jobs, such as mending gloves, repairing a hat band, cleaning and pressing neckties, or laundering evening ties, and some times there is a whole suit to be sponged or repaired. For all of which, of course, they pay me according to the amount of work. Any young girl who is handy could do the same. 1 am sure If she just suggested the Idea to the menfolk of the family they would be glad to pay for the con venience of having their work done quickly at ihome, and whenever theyJ wanted it. M. H. Bake Salt-Rising Bread. SALEM, Or., Feb. 27. One way I make money at home is by making salt-rising bread. So many people, who are very fond of it, do not make it. I can sell almost any amount of It at from 15 to 20 cents a loaf, accord ing to size. The morning before I want to bake I scald two heaping tablespoonfuls of cornmeal with hot milk, making a thin batter, then I add more cornmeal (not scalded) to make it thick, cover to keep the air out, and keep in a warm place until light; when light put In a cool place until next morning. In the morning mix up a batter of part milk and water and flour and a pinch of soda, a little thicker than C : JfowTofa70dney Smart Skirt of Blue and Black Novelty rvtixture. in Tunic Effect.

Advice, Men Speak to Her. r EAR Mrss BLAKE: I am a girl of J 18, rather tall and very pretty, with large, expressive brown eyes, a quantity of golden-red hair, and a good complexion. I have often been told I was good looking, but of course I myself never think about this. But lately wnenever I go on the street I am bothered by the stares and comments of people, especially men. As I dress simply and quietly, do not paint or use much powder, and do not putt and frizz my hair, I canot see why this should happen. My friends think my maners very dignified. Do you think it could be, as some of my friends say on account of my unusual beauty? And what can I do about it? I cannot wear a veil always. ANXIOUS." You probably exaggerate the atten tion which you excite. If you walk along quietly you will not notice the stares and the comments of men. Un usual beauty does not excite comment. It may excite admiration, but never un favorable comment. Make up your mind that if you are quiet and reserved no one will pay any attention to you, that is. no one will embarrass you by com ments. She Has a Broken Heart. "Dear Miss Blake: I am nearly 30 and very close to the age called spin sterhood. So you see if I am to marry it must be soon. I have had several offers of marriage, all from a worldly point of view desirable, but I love none of the men who made them. Long ago I had a very unfortunate love affair and ever, since my life has seemed so profitless. Could you not suggest something that I could do to occupy my thoughts? My housekeeping is not extensive, as only my widowed mother is left me. I canot read a. I the time. and when I sew I can still think and dwell on my past. One of these offers of marriage of which I speak is still open to me. Shall I accept it and so change my condition by giving my self new interests? Although I can not bring this man love. I can be a faithful and devoted wife. Awaiting your help. B." One of the greatest truths about love is that often the person whom we love ardently when we are young will appeal to us in no way when we are older. This is perhaps true in your case. If you would see the man who caused you unhappiness when you were young your entire self-made love would leave you. It is your interest in it that keeps it alive. In a case like yours, I should think that mar riage would make you really happy. It would not be fair, however, to marry without explaining to the man that 1 1 4 1 bit it wi ih Bui ri 1 Y XJxJ In the next few weeks, the very period in which will appear four of Vogue's great Spring Fashion Numbers, you will be spending hundreds of dollars on the things you select for your Spring wardrobe.
