THE WOMAN QUESTION.
By L. A. Miller.
From the palmy days of Eden to
the present time the woman question
has been, of all others, the hardest to
settle; in fact, it never has been set-
tled, and if the future is to be judged
by the past, it never will be.
Those fair daughters of Eve, who
pretend to be so meek, so tender and
so unobtrusive, have ever made bold
to stand with the hardy sons of Adam,
no matter where his lot may have
been cast. The blazing suns and chaf-
ing winds of the desert deterred not
Sarah from following Abraham, even
after he had denied that she was his
wife and allowed her to be taken by
Pharaoh the King. Neither did the
promised hardships of a new country,
the anger of an outraged parent, and
the chances of being made a slave,
stop Rachel from following Jacob.
Our country and times are full of
instances of woman’s daring and ad-
venture. There is no gulch so dark,
canyon so deep, or mountain so high
but that she may be found there be-
side the sturdy miner or restless pio-
neer. It is the nature of the creature,
and it is well known that a woman’s
nature cannot be changed entirely.
She may tremble a little more per-
ceptibly than man in the presence of
danger, but her fear quickly vanishes.
She may stop still in the face of tow-
ering obstacles, but in the course of
time she comes up smiling and tri-
umphant. She may complain more at
the outset, but she is more, cheerful
at the close. With such a factor as
this in the case what is to be done?
How is everything to be settled? Full
of caprices, indefatigable in the pros-
ecution of her pet notions and as craf-
ty as a lawyer, she ever has been, and
ever will be the undefined term in the
domestic or social problem. She has
her faults, just as any other living
thing has, yet we cannot say with
Milton: “0, why did God, creator
wise, that peopled highest heaven with
spirit masculine, create at last this
novelty on earth, this fair defeat of
Nature ?”
If there is one thing that women
will kick stronger against than anoth-
er, it is against rules. She will suffer
herself to be encased in rigid stays,
endure skin-tight shoes and wear her
hair twisted painfully, yet she cannot
endure iron-clad rules relating to do-
mestic affairs, especially if they are
made by a man. She wants to be free
to act according to her feelings in all
matters except fashion.
In all domestic affairs she claims
the right to the casting vote, and re-
gards the veto power as one of her
prerogatives. Some women go farth-
er, and exercise the veto power out-
side of the domestic circle, but these
are special cases. It may often be
necessary for them to exercise this
power, and also the power of suspend-
ing the habeas corpus. When such ne-
cessity arises, it is fortunate if they
are equal to the occasion.
If a woman is competent to wield
such power, there is no law, written
or unwritten, to hinder her from do-
ing so. That incompetent women
often assume to do it is manifestly
true, and it is a pity if her better half
is not so constituted as to take it phil-
osophically and kindly. If he does
not, there can be no harmony, no do-
mestic bliss, no fireside felicity.
The man who will compel his wife
to get up first in the morning, start
the fires and prepare the breakfast is
a brute; and the woman who will com-
pel her husband to get up, light the
fires and put the teakettle on, is no
better. There should be no compel-
ling whatever in such matters. Some-
times it is more convenient for one,
sometimes for the other. If one can-
not bear to get up and leave the oth-
er snoozing comfortably, it will prob-
ably be better for both to get up and
divide the duties. At any rate this is
not a question to be decided by an out-
side court, but one that must be set-
tled by arbitration, and the interested
parties as arbitrators.
Improbable as it may seem, it is
nevertheless a fact that a large per
cent. of the domestic infelicity preva-
lent today, as well as in times past,
has been and is due to the neglect of
just such small affairs as this. Were
a man dealing with any other woman
than his wife, he would make a bar-
gain, have a definite understanding
and live according to the contract. So
would a woman agree with any other
man than her husband what her duties
should be. Why should husbands and
wives not have such arrangements ?
More than half of the infelicity ex-
tant is due entirely to a lack of the ex-
.ercise of common sense. Husbands
and wives seem to forget that they
are men and women, but look upon
.each other as a species of chattel
property. The marriage contract is
regarded as a surrender of the obliga-
tions incumbent upor. ladies and gen-
tlemen, at least as far as they are
jointly concerned.
0, we do all offend,
There's not a day of wedded life, if we
Count at its close the little, bitter sum
Of thoughts, and words, and looks unkind
and forward,
Silence that chides and woundlings of the
eye—
But prostrate at each
should
Tach night forgiveness ask.

Faithful to the Last.
A Virginia gentleman was treubled
by a disobedient and lazy coachman,
who had been in the family a long
time and was well out of reach of dis-
cipline. He disobeyed orders and neg-
lected his duties and made himself a
general nuisance until in desperation
his employer decided to threaten him
with dismissal. “I can’t put up with
you any longer,” he said. “At the end
of the month you hunt another place.”
« ¢Nuther place, nothin’.” was the
reply. “I druv yeh to yer baptism,’ I
druv yeh to yer weddin’ an’ I'll jest
stick here till I drive yeh to yer fun-
eral.”

WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
If one door should be shut God will open
another; if the peas do not yield well the
beans may; if one hen leaves her eggs
another will bring out all her brood.
There's a bright side to all things, and a
good God everywhere. Somewhere or oth-
er in the worst flood of trouble there al-
ways is a dry spot for contentment to get
its foot on and if there were not it would
learn to swim.—C. H. Spurgeon.
It really isn’t a bit surprising that
the smartly charming coat-dress is
given a place of great prominence in
the autumn wardrobe. There isn’t a
more versatile garment to be had, and,
with one in her possession, a woman
feels that she always has something
to depend upon. :
The most distinctive thing about
them, as you have doubtless already
discovered, is their devotion to per-
fect lines. They are handsomely tail-
ored, and have a grande dame air
about them which appeals always to
those who are distinguished for their
taste in clothes.
In other seasons they have been de-
veloped almost entirely on the lines of
the redingote. But this year, although
the redingote is still as smart and as
youthfully graceful as ever, it has sev-
eral rivals in style. These models,
which follow the wrapped-around
theme, are looked upon with favor.
One of the new brown tones is usually
chosen, such as maroon or cafe au
lait, or it may be caramel, any of
which are delectable in the soft au-
tumn materials. And with her new
fall chapeau in a matching shade of
velvet pulled smartly down over her
permanent wave, milady feels herself
correctly gowned for anything short
of the formal affair.
A coat-dress is delightful for shop-
ping when one does not prefer a suit
and when a top coat is too heavy, yet
summery-appearing things are not to
be thought of. It is quite correct to
wear at the luncheon in town, or even
at a restaurant dinner when occasion |
demands. It makes a charming garb
for a stroll through the park on coo! |
days, and many women consider it the
only fitting background for the dash-
ing little bits of fur which they wear
tucked up smartly about their throats.
As a rule, it is a bit heavy for house
wear, in these days of steam-heated
apartments. But there are many
models to be had in the finer materials
developed on these becoming lines,
which will not be found uncomforta-
ble even in the warmest rooms. Many
of the new matellasse fabrics, for in-
sance, make up stunningly as a coat
dress. Terra cotta is one of the fash-
ionable fall shades, and in matellasse
crepe it is aslovely a thing as one
could imagine. Faille crepe is also
frequently used for this type of frocks
and is often seen in black, with a
touch of cinder gray on the sleeves’
facings and side panels.
Trimming, however, except as it is
severely tailored, is not the usual de-
sire of the coat-dress. It is quite
striking enough to rest on its merits
alone. The most that is permitted as
a rule is black silk or soutache braid,
which is always smart; scalloped side
closings, bound in self-material, or
loops of self-material outlining the
side, thé wide sleeves or the reverse.
A little later it is promised that they
will appear with fur at neck and cuffs,
and perhaps to accent the diagonal
closing across the blouse.
Kitten’s ear cloth is an exquisite
thing for a model of this sort, and if
fur is used it will undoubtedly be mink
or sable. Broadcloth, which is becom-
ing more and more popular, is intrigu-
ing in that brown known as burnt
bread, and makes a coat dress quite
lovely enough to charm the heart of
any woman. Poiret twill, always dis-
tinctive, always smart, is an excellent
choice for the business girl, and the
coat model is one of her best friends.
With fresh collars and cuffs she may
be constantly charming, at only an in-
itial expense.
The separate blouse and skirt are
receiving much consideration at the
hands of the fall designer. It is ex-
pected these neglected garments will
be reinstated in milady’s wardrobe,
particularly the decidedly tailored
models.
Coats are as varied in their length
as materials. One finds many short
coatees which might almost rank as
a bolero, while others of three-quar-
ter length fit at the waist-line and fall
in circular folds. There are short box
jackets which scarcely reach the hip-
line at the back and form a bolero in
front.
The cuffs of these dapper little
coatees are of deep fur, reaching the
elbow, and the collar is fashioned al-
most narrow of the same fur.
Many houses are displaying milli-
nery with dresses and especially orig-
inal are the Moyen age modes, re-
minding one of a gladiator’s helmet.
Covering the head and extending down
the back of the neck like the close-fit-
ting cap. A seam across the top of
the velvet or panne helmet shows a
thick, high-standing piping from ear
to ear, and forms a crescent-shaped
piece over the head. Fur is becoming-
ly used for the seam crossing the tip
of these helmet hats of satin or ve-
lour. In metal tissue these Moyen
age-shaped chapeaux are realistic and
will be very becoming to a certain
type of face.
Very full skirts, showing a flat ef-
fect in front and . at the back, are
quaint examples of the early age, and
made with close-fitting corsages. The
high collars and pleated ruffles of
wide lace at the top, turning back to
the shoulders, are effective in their
picturesque styles. ;
Some full-skirted models display
gathers from a low waist line and oth-
ers are gathered inserts only from the
knees.
The Maison Chanel, whose house
was practically made famous by suc-
cess in sports coats, shows many at-
tractive models with a wider and mod-
erately long skirt, and plain corsage
with a waist line marked by a string
tie of the same fabric as that compos-
ing the dress.
The sheath-like silhouette is favor-
ed in rich metal tissues for beautiful
evening dress models.
HOUSES OF THE FUTURE.
tion to the fact that houses are being
built all over the country of concrete,
blocks.
houses will become very common in
the near future, and that improvement
tively cheap form of construction, and
practically indestructible.
Another form of construction that
is “coming back” is the building of
houses of field stone, where the ma-
terial used is the pebble-shaped field
stones, obtained, very largely, from
old stone walls throughout the sur-
rounding country. These stones,
properly built into a house, give a
very pleasing and substantial effect,
and as time covers the stone with
vines and moss the effect will be
heightened and improved. Durable as
the eternal hills, these houses, a hun-
dred years from now, will be just as
sound as the day they are finished, if
the work is properly done.
The day has probably gone forever
when houses will be built entirely of
wood. While the price of building
lumber remains at the present figure,
brick, concrete, tile and stone can
beat it out, as far as expense goes,
and such houses will outlast the wood-
en ones four times over.
Another thing that has gone, un-
doubtedly, is the ‘‘big house” of the
past generation.
with its many’ gables and wide,
bling halls, will be a curiosity to our
grandchildren. The house of the f
ture, for any but the very rich, will
be small, compact, easy to heat, and
with no waste space.—Ex.
Drafted Men Physically Defective.
Surg. General Ireland told a Wash-
ington club that of all Americans
drafted for the world war under Class
1 21 per cent. were physically unfit for
all military service. In other words,
more than one young man in five was
physically unfit to perform any type
| of army duty either here or abroad.
The head of the army’s medical corps
reported the total number of men of
the first and second registrations and
including those who went to camp pri-
or to December 15, 1917, as 3,764,000.
Of this group 550,000 were rejected
by local boards. Over 2,700,000 oth-
ers were finally sent to camp but many
more were rejected by the military
authorities. Even 47 per cent. of
those taken into the service had some
physical defect.
The number of defective men, ac-
cording to General Ireland, varied by
States from 64 per cent. in Rhode Is-
land to 35 per cent. in Kansas. More
men from the cities were rejected (23
per cent.) than from the rural dis-
tricts and small towns (20 per cent.),
due not only to environment condi-
| tions in the large cities but also to the
influx of foreigners. The average
| height of 1,000,000 men was 67% inch-
jes. The shortest men came from
Rhode Island, averaging 66 inches,
and the tallest from Texas, averaging
68 inches.—Ex.
MEDICAL.
That Morning Lameness
If you are lame every morning, and
suffer urinary ills, there must be a
cause. Often it’s weak kidneys. To
strengthen the weakened kidneys and
avert more serious troubles, use
Doan’s Kidney Pills. You can rely on
Bellefonte testimony.
Mrs. H. W. Johnson, Valentine St.,
Bellefonte, says: “I have used Doan’s
Kidney Pills whenever my kidneys
troubled me. I had attacks with nty
kidneys and felt so miserable with
backache I could hardly get up on my
feet. Mornings when 1 came down
stairs I was so lame I couldn’t raise
my feet to go up the steps again. My
kidneys were disordered and annoyed
me a great deal. Doan’s Kidney Pills
from Runkle’s drug store soon put an
end to my suffering and rid me of the
aches and pains. I depend on Doan’s
now when my kidneys get out of or-
der.” !
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim-
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Johnson had. Foster-Milburn
