"Why Do BIra Walt on Women t
Irreverent persons suggest that
man's only, object In life 16 to please
woman and to serve her. Slightly ex
aggerated this statement, perhaps, yet
there must be some truth at the bot
tom of it. Otherwise, why should man
vait on woman at all? Why take
pleasure in being agreeable to her?
Why go out of his way to assist her?
In other words, why should he be
chivalrous?
Chivalry is the expression of man's
real, instinctive deference for woman.
Although, like other instinctive feel
ings, It is being modified or rooted up
by education and civilization, the chiv
alrous instinct nevertheless still makes
Itself felt In modern man. It impels
him, when confronted with woman, to
pass through three different stages. In
the first one he strives to attract wom
an's attention; in the second to please
her; finally, to serve her.
The unconcerned are highly divert
ed by the first. There Is no end to the
things a man will do to attract wom
an's attention. Nothing is too absurd.
One man found it necessary to spoil
his patent leather shoes. He was be
ing rowed across a lake when a girl
passed "by in her canoe. Without a
moment's hesitation he plunged both
feet Into the rippling water, letting
them dangle there, stupidly.
Other men use other methods; some
grow spry and climb fences, stumble
over their own feet; some Imagine
themselves the proud possessor of a
voice and exercise It; others whistle
out of tune or twirl their mustaches.
Still others grow disconcerted and for
get where they are going or lose the
thread of their conversation.
So much for the desire of being no
ticed. When it comes to pleasing wom
en, men are more particular. Then
they strive for personal perfection.
The intellectual ones go about with
poetry In their breast pockets and 'learn
It by heart, ready to repeat It at the
first occasion. Or they dabble into art
or literature or some "ism" in order
to acquire the correot pose. The more
matter-of-fact puzzle over material
things: whether the hair is parted in
the right place; whether the red or
blue tie will make the better Impres
sion. For men are vain and dress to
pleare.
Woman and the Ballot.
A woman from Colorado has brought
rejoicing to the cohorts of the anti
suffragists. "The really feminine
women," she Is quoted as saying, "as
a rule are content to leave the govern
ing to the men." She herself is fond
of outdoor sports, is an expert with
the rifle and has slain bears and other
beasts. All these, of course, are truly
feminine accomplishments. Your truly
.feminine woman should be prepared
at an Instant's notice to drop the
Inlttlng needle or the baby's bottle,
else her trusty rifle and sally forth to
lay. Yet this modern Diana from
Colorado shrinks coyly from the bal
lot, we are told. Knowing that her
husband was stanch for McKlnley,
when her time for suffrage came she
ran right out and voted for Bryan,
of course, and whimsically signed her
name so that the ballot became void.
Reasonable doubt may" exist as to
whether all this really Is a feather In
the "antl" cap, and the answer hinges
upon a definition of "the really fem
inine woman." This woman, when
found, will be prepared to state
whether or no she would have the bal
lot, and to her the manly man will at
once doff his hat, swept low, and ex
claim, "At your service, madam."
Suffrage will be hers for the asking.

moainea to something not far from

There was a time when the typical
bachelor was pictured seated alone In
a sadly neglected room, pushing a re
luctant needle through unyielding
cloth, as he strove awkwardly to sew a
button on his coat, using the side wall
of his room for a thimble. That is all
done away with now, when the Uni
versal Valet Company, Unlimited,
sends its motor to the door of the
bachelor apartments and carries away
the garments of Benedick, returning
them at nlghtfally, every button re-enforced,
every spot and stain effaced,
And In what careless comfort do'-s
Benedick live! Unhampered by fem
inine niceties, he sets down his pipe
where he will, and swings about his
room in easy half dress, shouting tho
"Stein Song" at the top of his voice,
without let or hindrance. Atlantlo

BARBARIC HAIR STYLES POPULAR.
r
Some New Hair Dressing Fashions.
Since the huge pompadour rat has gone the way of all freak fads, worn
en wear their hair any old way their fancy dictates, and are in style Jusi
so long as they add a lot of unsanitary hair switches in the form of braidi
and swirls. Each woman chooses her own becoming (?) style, and then
emphasizes it until one wonders how the roots of the real hair manage to
stay where they belong. Some even confess to wearing $25 switches and
a few extra curls besides.
Oriental decorations are in high favor. Strings of semi-precious stonei
are wound round and round the head, tiara-like arrangements are worn
any time of day or evening, bands of ribbon with dangling ends, gold and
silver galloon embroidered in barbaric designs and colors, and huge hair
pins of intricate device are all worn by faddy women. The prettiest of ail
and it can't be denied that many of these oriental fashions In hair orna
ments are pretty is the simple ribbon bandeau.
Occasionally one sees a woman with a beautifully groomed head of
hair, softly colled In a graceful, becoming way, fastened with a few pretty
Bhell hairpins, and absolutely free from false hair, rats and the like. And
how welcome a sight It is and how rare!
come the foulards and rajah weave
silks for the summer suits.
Dotted goods are much used just
now, not only for dresses, but as coat
trimmings and the like. Many hand
some coats of the season are made of
ttiBsah, linen and other spring goods,
with deep facings of dotted foulard.
Coquettish little bonnets of shirred
materials are worn by debutantes.
They are In rich colors and 'give ad
ditional color to the very youthful
face. The cord shirring adapts itself
nicely to this particular style of bon
net. There is a decided fancy for white
frocks this season for other than even
ing wear. Tailor coat and skirt gowns
and afternoon frocks on princess lines
are contrived of rough-surface white
woolens, of corduroy and of broadcloth.

The simple cabin stitch, done with

as a finish for dressy gowns. This is
particularly effective for outlining pan

A fight for title to 4,400 acres of Fer
ry Lake In Caddo pariah, southwest
Louisiana, and laid to be an oil field
valued at approximately fro.OGo.GCO, La
been begun before Commissioner Den
nett of the general land office. The
claimant la John B.Klng of Texarkana,
Texas, who made entry over one year
ago under the placer mining act. He
claims that the area of the lake was
never turned over by the government
to the State of Louisiana, and aa the
attorney general of that State did not
put in an appearance yesterday It Is
believed that the State U content to let
the general government deal with the
proposition before it In any manner
It may deem advisable.
Former Representative John J. Lenta
of Columbus, Ohio; J. A. Telller of
Little Rock, Arku, and J. D. Korner,
also of the capital of Ohio, made up
the legal array which presented Mr.
King's aide of the case. At the close
of the argument Commissioner Den
nett took, the matter under advisement
He did not announce when a decision
will be rendered in the matter.
For several months past It has been
believed that the State officials of Lou
isiana were going to put up a vigorous
fight for the lake, which also has a
considerable area In the State of Tex
as. Several year ago, while prospect
ing over the general oil field In the
section where the lake Is located, Mr.
King discovered that while the Stand
ard Oil Company had located Its wells
on all sides of the property, no attempt
had been made to locate on the lake.
He then went to work, and made a
close examination of the records bear
ing on the question of title to the land
on which the lake lies. This was for
merly government land before the back
water from the Red River overflowed
the section and left the lake. He ascer
tained, so It was pointed out in the ar
gument of the attorneys before Com
missioner Dennett yesterday that the
lake was never turned over by the
general government to the State of
Louisiana, and he lost no time in mak
ing an entry on the 4,400 acres in ques
tion, which Is believed to be the rich
est In the section in point of possible
oil fields.
With his entry he then made his
plans to bring the matter to the atten
tion of the commissioner of the gen
eral land office, so as to perfect the ti
tle before he begins operations for lo
cating oil wells. He talked at length
yesterday of the question and pointed
out that as the lake Is only about two
or three feet deep It will be a compara
tively easy matter to locate oil wells In
all parts of the area covered by the
4,400 acres in question. Mr. King Is
positive from the Investigations he has
made that the area is of immense value
and hopes as soon as he gets title to
begin operations.
The section in which the lake Is lo
cated in both Texas and Louisiana Is
looked upon by oil experts everywhere
as a particularly rich oil country, and
this fact has been singularly brought
out, It Is declared, by reason of the fact
that the Standard Oil Company has
come Into the section and bought up
all the land bordering on the lake.
