will not be required.
Wkat ' Man Likes
4n a
w oman
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
That a man likes beauty goes with
out waving, as that a bee likes flow-
is.- But as the bee only flutters
about a flower which contains no
lioiiey'-vieidirig property, so man only
lingers a hrief time about the beauty
without wit or charm.
A man likes a woman to he capable
of talking well at times, but tie does
not care' for the garrulous girl. lie
likes to be listened to himself, and ob
jwtn to the girl who monopolizes -the
conversation utmost as much as to the
one who does not talk at all.
A man likes modesty, but he is dis
gusted with mock prudery.
lie secretly likes a slightly uncon
ventional girl, but he Is so sensitive to
public comment that he is afraid to
openly show his liking for her unless
she is well grounded socially. And he
-is quick to censure if the defies the
proprieties or violates absolute good
form.
Man Tracks Independence.
A" mao is utterly lacking in inde
pendence regarding these matters, and
Jar more sensitive to public opinion
'than the Weaker sex. However much
he might enjoy the society of a wom
an who defied conventional rules of
, dress or deportment, he would not be
.seen in public with her if he could
avoid it. And a lapse from good mor-
. ls does jiot offend him as quickly as
a lapse from good manners. A man
. likes discretion, but he Invites indls-
t eretion from women. In order to
1' lease mm in me nmiu-r oi conuuci
and morals, she must do exactly the
opposite to his either bold or subtle
suggestions. He will advise her to
be discreet with others, but himself
tempt her to folly merely to flatter his
own vanity. But he is disappointed
ana aisurusioned " sne yieias. mere
are few exceptions, to this rule. All
men are alike in this instinct, and
in their secret hearts hope that vir
tue will withstand temptation. A man
J ikes an enthusiastic woman, but he
abhors gush. The girl who enjoys
herself thoroughly, and is not afraid
to sliow her enjoyment, always wins
more admirers than the languid beauty
who is forever "bored." j
Prefers Daring That Xs Controlled.
Man is afraid of the woman who
boasts of her conquests. The woman
who tells a .man how many proposals
the, has . received and rejected from
his disappointed fellowmen destroys
his respect for and confidence in her
discretion, and he is very sure not
to add one more pnorrosal to her list.
He-likes- a hint of daring in a wom
an's nature, but he vVants it hidden and
-ontrolled. Then he enjoys thinking
how he can develop this dangerous
rait, antt eongratulateshiniself on be
ing an excellent fellow when he does
not attempt it.
A man likes a woman of sympa
thetic feeling and affectionate nature,
hut he. is afraid of the intensely emo
tional one. She tires and fatigues
him ajid is liable to be exacting in her
demands, or at least he fears that she
might ' be. The highly emotional
woman needs to wear an armor of
control and repose, no matter what It
costs Aer to do so, If she would be

WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW
ATTRACTIVE DESIGNS FOR THE INDUSTRIOUS NEEDLEWOMAN BY SARAH HALE HUNTER

Is Nuisance
By Madame Maison.
.In days gone by a large kitchen
wjas considered quite the proper thing
ana very little if any attention was
paid to maintaining this most neces
sary room in he house comfortable
and attractive. When I think what
miles of speace was covered in need
less steps taken from pantry to sink
from table to stove and from stove to
icebox, how the sinks were at a back-
breaking height and no attention naid
to proper lighting, either by night or
oy day, 1 wonder more housekeepers
did not givo up the ghost long before
iney aia.
The other day I heard a young ma
tron say regarding the new house
iney were building: "We began with
the kitchen and shall furnish it first
and do the rest afterward." Here is
the way she has planned it. The sink
of ample size with wooden drain
boards on either side is to be placed
under a row of three casement win
dows facing the west; drop leaf tables
adjoin the drain boards so there is
is ample space for extra dishes. A side
electric light is on the wall over the
sink to be turned on when needed,
then there Is a hanging ceiling light
over the stove and a side light on
the wall over the table. A steel
kitchen cabinet fits in a space on the
west wall, there are two windows to
the north; the floor is covered with
blue and white inlaid linoleum, or
will !e; the side walls a deep cream
and the ceiling a shade lighter, and atl
the enamel. Wash paint will be on the
walls. Twelve by Jo feet is the space
allotted for this iroom; thare is a
small butler pantry off with a small
sink under a window, just for washing
the silver and glassware. A coarse
quality of scrim makes excellent cur
tains for kitchen windows, as it stands
frequent washing; It is well to make
two or three pair ; a time. Over the
sink, which for the average woman
should be placed 30 inches from . the
floor, there should be hooks for hang
ing spoons, strainers, measuring cups,
egg beater, pancake turner, etc.; also
a shelf for the clock and for cook
books. In most kitchens there is room
for a built-in cupboard for dishes and
underneatli there iare shelves for pots
pans. etc. When furnishing all the
receptacles for spices, tea and coffee
may be purchased of one color, like
wise mixing bowls, so there will be a
harmonious color -scheme. A high
stool and a couple of chairs are a nec
essary part Of the equipment. Zinc
covered tables or glass covered ones
are a boon greatly to be appreciated,
but if too expensive, white oilcloth
must be the substitute, using the
pieces left over, for covering the cook
books. This same young housekeeper
told me she was using the elimination
process in furnishing her house, and
said it was astonishing how much one!
could do without. Elimination and
concentration are the two words one
hears most frequently these days, and
I assure you they both apply to inte
rior decorating and furnishing.

That Are Novel
By Dame Curtsey.
At a church social when every one
had arrived, three little girls appeared
on the. platform with placards. The
first said: "My first, I hope you are";
the second, "My second, I see you are,"
and the third placard read, "My whole,
I know you are." . The answer is
"Well-come," and the one who first
guessed the charade and spoke the
answer while the girlies stood on the
stage received a prize. This promoted
immeiJiate conversation and the ice
was broken. More charades worked
out by committees could follow, and
the evening be called "a fharacie so
cial." A Doll Carnival.
Quite the prettiest affair of the
season is to be a "doll carnival" given
for the benefit of a children's charity.
It is being given by children, of course
superintended by older people, but the
girls and boys, too, regard it as their
special entertainment. There is to be
a sale of dolls, dollhouse furruture,
clothes; and a complete dollhouse is to
go to the child whose turnout receives
the most votes in the, parade which
is to be a feature of the evening. Only
children under 10 years of age will
participate in this, and each doll is to
be in a doll buggy trimmed with flow
ers or in any manner that suits the
owner.
The judges are youthful, also; 14 is
the age. The interest in the affair is
widespread; fathers are arranging to
be present school teacheTS have caught
ine rever; in Tact, the "doll festival"
is in the air, and someone remarked
that the way to success lay in inter
esting the children. One especially
interesting booth is to be entirely in
charge of boys. They will display all
sorts of home-made toys, orders " will
be taken for dollhouse furniture from
samples, pictures framed, etc. And
there is to be a clown doll in a wheel
barrow in the parade. (Popcorn, salted
peanuts, home-made candy and "light"
refreshments will be on sale. Canned
fruits, jelly and other delicacies for
silk children will be receive!, also
contributions of pictures and cards
suntable for making into scrapbooks.
A Uirt Inlay Show-r.
Did you ever hear of a ''birthday"
shower for a brides
Try it the next time a bride-elect
is to be honored. This is the way one
was mana..-d: The guests are request
ed to bring something suitable for
their birthday month. For instance
say the natal day is in June, a bunch
of roses, or any gift, for June is the
month of brides; or in May a basket J
or flowers or something in green glass
to represent an emerald; in Febru
ary a heart-shaped pincushion, or a
book of Dickens quotations. This
shows how to work it out. An um
brella or even a pair of rubbers for
April, a bunch of firecrackers and a
fan for July, or a sJlk flag. This,
you see, may be made very interesting
and amusing. Having funny things al
ways adds to the merriment. This is
a shower in which the men ean partici
pate and is best for the -evening. A
rhyme to go with each parcel will
help make more fun. A clothes basket
or hamper may be given in which to
send everything home' to the bride.

ing given under . the -name of -calendar"
showers; that is when there are
Just li guests and each one brings
a gift suitable for the month which the
hostess designates in the invitations.
Every one, of course, selects some

Suggestions for
Girls Wko Work
Business Life Hints.
Many a girl is a failure in business
because she intrudes her home life
into the business world. If you will
learn at the start you will save your
self many heartaches and disappoint
ments later. Most men understand
this intuitively or learn it quickly.
Many women workers feel they are a
little too masculine if they divorce
their home life from the workaday
world;
When your employer hires you, be
sure to understand what he, expects,
including hours, the quantity and
Quality of the work he wants, and sal
ary. After making a bargain try to
keep to it. Do nt come in 10 minutes
late in the morning. Do not take an
other 10 minutes more tnan whst is
expected for your midday meal aiid
have your wraps on when, closing time
comes.
If you make this as your program
it will certainly count against you.
though your employer wakes no com-
mtnt on it. Taking time that does not
belong to you is quite as bad) as steal
ing anything else. If you are ex
pected to be down the first one in the
morning, be there or have some better
reason for not being there than there
is nobody to watch you. Do not take
time off to make engagements for the
atre, for luncheons, and for other
social affairs. Remember that busi
ness is usually too important to be
deferred for society. The same holds
good for sickness. Be at y(our post
unless you are sick abed. If this hap
pens, .let your employer know imme
diately so he can arrange for some
body to do your work without delay.
Once at your work take on a busi
ness attitude and try to.keep .it all
day. You are being paid ito work and
to do the best work of which you are
capable, not for your charms and
femininity. By talking and laughing
incessantly you - not only interfere
fwith your own work but you hinder
Fathers from doing their best work.
JJ The worker who is put on her honor
pas deeper obligations to her employer
than one who is watched. Do not wait
pntil your employer tells you that you
alone, : or in the company of others,
are disturbing him . by unnecessary
noise.:'- , ... ::
s The best . recreation to te gotten
from your work is the satisfaction of
knowing that every -day you are doing
the best of which you are capable.
COMELY PATTERN FOR A WORK BAG
Shirk ers in the
Wedded Realm
By Edna K. Wooley.
Matrimony Is a job. It isn't always
a satisfactory job and often it is one
which pays little or nothing to the
woman engaged in it. At the same
time, the woman who goes Into mat
rimony should expect to be "on the
job" if she has any idea of getting
anything out of it.
Any woman employed in a wage
earning position knows that she must
give at least eight hours, and possibly
more, of time, thought and energy to
her employer's interests. If she has
any sense she also realizes that her
employer's interests depend upon the
quality of her work in his behalf. Also,
she knows that if she doesn't fill the
bill, the natural sequence is her dis
charge.
But there are women who marry
with the sole idea of getting a man
to pay ineir way and give them a
home, without at the same time enter
taining sense of giving that man any-
tning in return Tor his outlay. In
other words these women "lay down
on their , job." And when the man, as
he occasionally -does, tries, to "fire"
such a wife wow, what a howl goes
up!
I have in mind a recent divorce suit
filed by a woman who married some
ten years ago. She was a widow
when she married the second time, and
old enough to know what she was do
ing. For a period of - some three years
she was a model housewife and there
was peace in the family,Then the itch
for publicity seized her, born out of
seeing her name and picture in print
because of some slight activity in
charity work.
She went in for - philanthropies of
all sorts. She went in for allthe lat
est feminist fads. She became an
ardent suffragette, spoke on street cor
ners and placarded the - town during
suffrage campaigns. She had a heart
full -of pity for all unfortunates, and
a heart full of scorn for all .male crea
tures ' of voting .age. . She was inde
fatigable in her worE, and apparently
had solved the problem of being in
three places at onoe-rthough one of
the places was not her home.

up. When he remonstrated with the
wife of his bosom, he was called a
brute, and when he asked that she
go a little slower on expenditures, as
he was only a poor man on a salary,
she inveighed against his "stinginess."
The husband was a worm and ought
to have known it. But he began to
act like a mule. He kicked. He
brayed. He IJalked. He refused to
pull the load alone.,. So the wife of
his bosom brought suit fir divorce and
alimony.
Whereupon the husband also brought
suit for divorce.

the evidence, "fired" the wife from

sound resembling the ticking of. a

The ticking has been going on in
the child's head for two months, the
physician who brought her ; to the
meeting, asserts. By placing - their
ears close to the side of her head those
