She Wears an Aato Coat Madet Qt Yobbe White Colt's Hide Inter view With the Charming: Lady. rljKfJhlJglf'tljqailJSV & (3k&4& czt. fZf&J&hZftdO' Mrs. Alfred Harmsworth Is fast be coming recognized as one of the beat dressed "women in Paris, says a Paris let ter in the Chicago Chronicle. This probably means that she Is queen of style. The London Daily Mail editor's wife thinks nothing of coming to Paris to try on a couple of dresses, fiometimes re turning to London the same night But she spends more and more of her time on this side of the English channel, and says she hopes soon to persuade her husband to buy a Paris residence. When Mrs. Harmsworth came here she was handicapped by the anti-French tone of her husband's publications. But lately she has become a great favorite in Frpnch society. She has Juax caused a huge sen sation by appearing in the most novel au tomobile coat, made of the hide of a per fectly -white young colt, trimmed with dark able tails and having a great col lar which can be turned up and buttoned so as to leave only er eyes and the Up of her nose exposed. The effect is start lingly "smart." After Mrs. Harmsworth's first appear ance in it all the wealthy women rushed to get imitations. It was the first time an Englishwoman had set the fashion for Paris. On account of the scarcity of white colt skins a coat costs 4000. Redfern, the maker of the original model, cannot make others, for Mrs. Harmsworth bought the exclusive right to It Yet she gracefully gave him per mission to make a duplicate for the Emp ress of Russia. One of the morning papers prints an In terview with Mrs. Harmsworth, who is sftid to have largely contributed to her husband's success in the world of journal ism. She is proud, also, of her successful married life. Mrs. Harmsworth Is a tall, typical Eng lish beauty. Her manner is English in its graclousness, her voice Is English In Its well-bred softness and the beauty of its modulation. She Is the best exponent of the "how-to-be-happy-though-marrled" theory that I have ever found. "Every one ought to marry, you know," said Mrs. Harmsworth. "It Is a woman's sphere and a man's success. I don't be lieve single men ever attain the best there is In them. It Is but natural they should not, because tbeir natures are lricomplete without the softening, tempering Influ ence of woman." "Yet the careers of many men have been wrecked by marriage." "Exactly, and if a bad marriage wrecks a man's life it helps to prove how greatly marriage counts. But every one owes It to himself to marry well. "The trouble is, girls don't think of these things. They don't realize the pos sibilities of marriage. They don't realize how large a factor they are to be, for good or for bad, not only in a man's home life and social life, but in his business life, too, and in the development of his private character. How many girls con templating marriage sit down and weigh the qualities of their future husbands as against their own, to actertaln whether or not it is possible for two people such a? they are to live together perhaps 50 years without friction." "Now, Isn't It true that most girls spend more time on the details of their trous seaux than they do on the details of the man's private character?" "Half the girls don't know until they are married whether a man dislikes read ing or has a decided literary bent wheth er he prefers to dine at night or midday, whether he Is a believer or an atheist whether he's horsey or a prude, whether he wants to live In town or In the coun try, or whether he detests the prattle ox children or looks foiward to the joys or parenthood. All they know is thai he has a great deal of money or a title or a good social position or a certain fascin ating manner that leads them to believe they are In love. So they are married. The consequences of such marriages you bee about you everywhere. "When we were married we began at the beginning. I shall always be grateful for that The girl who marries a man after he has attained wealth and fame loses the very best part of It From the time I was old enough to realize I hoped it might be my lot to be a part of my husband's success. I believe that wish has been fulfilled. At least he says so. "Mr. Harmsworth was Inclined to be moody most men are and I was versa tile. At times he was all business, his head and heart filled with schemes and projects, and I was all business, too. "At other times he was wearied of busi ness. A word of it would have Irritated him. Then I was wearied of business, too. He wanted music we went to the opera or green fields. We drove Into the coun try. He longed to angle for trout; we followed the stream. Or he wanted to get out of England, anyway, so we traveled a bit, with a sure relapse of the business fever, and home we came and glad of it "Then there were times they come to all of them when he wanted the society of men just men and by a strange coin cidence I realized I craved the society of girls just girls. So we kept the hosts of our friends who were friends before mar riage and so we are both ready to aver that marriage is not a failure unless the carelessness of one's choice may make it so. "Now, I don't mean by that," said Mrs. Harmsworth, smiling, "that a man's ge nius Is his wife. Concerning the vital, fundamental qualities which make his success he must possess them and he suc ceeds entirely on his own merits. Some times a genius lacks courage, sometimes he lacks faith in himself, sometimes he is so diffident the world never hears of him, and sometimes he Is so bold and frank he would show his whole hand be fore the time is ripe. "While a man may possess all the ele; ments of greatness In himself, he needs a wife, for It Is In the nature of things that nothing in itself should be complete or perfect For my own part, I have en deavored to be an unceasing encourage ment to my husband, and any sort of a commentary adjunct he needed at the time. I could never have edited his pa pers; I could not have wrlttem for them, I have none of the qualifications for a genius. But I can keep house. Next to the study of human nature a particu larly male human nature, I mean house keeping is the best-paying profession a wife can follow." VISIT SNOQUALMIE FALLS Portland Party Inxpects the Electric Lfgrhtlngr Plan There. SEATTLE. March 22. Seven members of the City Council, two members of the Board of Works and the City Engineer of Portland passed through Seattle to day, en route tq and from Snoqualmie Falls, where they went as guests ct the Snoqualmie Falls Power Company, to In spect its plant for the generation of electricity by water-power.
