The Modern Girl and the Bachelor
"Why do we find eo many eligible, at
tractive young men still among the ranka
of th bachelor today? More than that,
why do they appear bo utterly contented
with their lot of single blessedness? To
wham should the blame "be attached?
'Men ore n selfish I" walled a pretty
little girt the other day. "All thoy care
about Is tor smoke and play cards and
OiaVo ft good time with each other In
tht.lr horrid clubs. When they take girls
out Uiey are seldom serious In their In
tentions, but just amusing themselves.'
The) opinion of this forlorn damsel haa
been echoed a hundred times. So many
letters aro written me by discontented
Ktrls on tho subject of man's selfishness
and his dislike of marriage that I have
begun to Investigate the question. Why
does tho modern mail hesitate to assumo
tho responsibilities of marriage?
I am convinced that the greater part of
the blame rests with the modern girl and
cannot be put upon man's Inherent sel
fishness. "Cllrls nowadays expect so much," said
very attractlvo young bachelor the
other day. "To tell you tho honest truth,
I would Hko to got married but I'm
afraid to risk It!"
"Wherein lies tho risk?" I Inquired.
"Well, It's like this," said he, slowly,
"the girls 1 meet all dress so expensive
ly and near such a variety of wonderful
clothes that I simply wouldn't dare pro
pose to one of them. Although I'm mak
ing qulto a fair salary, I couldn't possibly
afford to dress a wlfo like a young duch
ess, give her two new suits every season
and a fur coat every fall besides all those
wonderful things that girls wear nowa
days. So I Just can't ask a girl to marry
mo and then have her disappointed after
ward nnd call mo mean or stingy!"
Now, I happened to know about this
particular young man's feminine circle
At first glance tho girls thereof did ap
pear to be decked out like unto Solomon
In all his glory. But, had the young
man. only known It, their clothes were
not one-tenth so costly as they appeared
to be. Tho expenslvo-looklng fur coats
wero only "imitations," the variety of
mart suits wero only old garments re
modeled by clever fingers at home, and
the diaphanous waists, Jeweled necklaces
ana chains could have deceived nobody
but ft trusting bachelor as to their value.
All Is not gold that glltters-but how
can one tell a man that?
"I am so disappointed In the conversa
tion of tho average girl nowadays," said
another bachelor, thoughtfully. "She
talks nothing but gossip nnd clothes. The
latter bores me stiff, and the gossip Is
only entertaining for a short tlmo. Then
a man grows sick of It. So I go round
with men most of the time, and you can't
wonder at It Yes, I confess quite frankly
that girls do bore me."
This seems a sweeping statement, but
there Is lots of truth In tho accusation
Why will girls Invariably show their
foolish side to men? The brnlnless,
stupid girl Is to be excused, for she
knows no better. But It strikes me as
extraordinary that tho clover, Interest
ing girl should put her Intelligence on
the shelf, so to speak, when In tho com
pany of men, and act Hko the veriest
little fool.
"Men like a girl to bo a little fool,"
declared a clover, witty girl tho other
day In self defense. "So I give them
what they Hko and play up to tho
standard 1"
"Down, you mean!" I said Indignantly.
"Ao you will," was the tranquil re
sponse. "But jou forget that there Is
such a thing as sex Jealousy. Men
hate a girl to bo wittier than themselves,
and you know that a clever woman Is
anathema to them. So I play tho fool
nnd am accordingly popular."
"But what Is Buch popularity worth?"
I asked.
"It's worth dinners nnd dances nnd
theatres and a good time generally," said
she quickly.
"And beyond that7"
She hestltated, wrinkled her forehead
thoughtfully, then reddened.
"It doesn't go beyond that," she ad
mitted, slowly.
And I knew It didn't. Tho "worth
while" man may amuse himself for a
short time with the foolish typo of girl,
but his Intentions nre never serious, nor
jnntrlmonlal. And the foolish girl and
the overdressed girl nre largely respon
sible for tho army of Confirmed Bache
lors Increasing so quickly nowadays.
LITTLE THINGS
IN DRESS
The woman who looks out for Immacu
late neatness hi her costume wilt al
ways be consoled with the knowledge
that she looks her best. There Is a cer
tain attraction about a neat, dainty cos
tume which cannot be Imitated In 'nny
way, Unless tho daintiness Is really there.
The woman who Is particular about her
homo IB not always the best dressed,
and it often happens that n woman
whose homo Js very untidy looks stun
ning In her street clothes.
Most men would rather see their wives
looking well, than to have a model home.
They nro proud of your good looks, even
If they don't mention it. And they no
tice carelessness almost as soon n your
women friends do, and that Is very, very
soon.
Tho points In dress that most women
overlook nre rollings, footwear, gloves,
hats and handkerchiefs. Take core of
these and your costutno will tako care
of Itself Don't bo too quick to buy what
seems Hko a bargain In gloves, there
must bo some reason for It, and as a
rule, you nnd It out to your sorrow.
Many bargnln gloves have ono finger too
short, or too tight, or too large
Bo sure that your glove Is properly pro
portioned, and when you decide on a well
fitting style, buy no other. Dust a little
ponder Into jour gloves before you wear
them and smooth nil the seams straight,
have tho lines on tho backs properly over
tne center of the hands, and tho fingers
In the tips of tho glove.
It Is noil to keep a tube of some de
scription on hand to roll your veils on.
This will koep them In order nnd you enn
wear them nt a moment's notice. Shoes
should never be thrown under the bed to
gather dust. You can get a shoo bag
very easily, and every pair should have
shoe trees In, besides.
Keep your hats In their respective
boxes Until you want to uso them and
return them thoro when you tako them
off. Alwnys brush them, especially if
thoy aro mndo of black velvot, or a dark
material which will show tho dust. Never
carry a soiled, or oen crumpled hand
kerchief. The only romody for this is
to. keep a plentiful supply on hand, and
to seo that you aro always In posses
sion of a clenn ono.
These are only "little things," and It's
tho little thing which mokes or mars
a gown.
A New Soap Dish
There is a very convenient soap dish
ror the Kitchen sink. It Is called the
faucet soap dish, Is made of wire, and Is
hung between the two fnucetfl.

Attractive Suits for the Luncheon
AN ATTRACTIVE SUIT OF EXCLUSIVE CUT
A Pretty Coverlet
Kverybody goes In for health and
science nowadays, and nine women out
of ten who used to look upon a nap as
confined to the younger generation takes
a 15-nilnute beauty sleep every after
noon. Poor dears, it's tho only chance
aomo of them get to rest, with tho nu
merous dansant3 and whatnot which
keep women on the go. The Idea, in all
these observations is to remind you of
the usefulness of the coverlet. It Is not
a quilt, strictly speaking. It Is Just n
little coverlet to throw over milady when
she takes her "cat-nap." For it doesn't
matter how short the 40 winks may be,
a cold is easily caught If there happens
to bo a draft.
These coverlets are the last word in
luxurious appointments. They are su
premely artiste as well. Made of quilted
Bilk, satin, crepe de chine, or broende,
and bordered with lace and French roses,
there Is nothing more attractlvo or more
expensive. Tho centre is finished off with
a wreath of satin roses, or a monogram,
worked in dull gold.
Your Young Child
So much la said about proper training
for children that there only remain a few
hints for the training of mothers, and
these have been collected by some indus
trious person Jnto a series of "don'ts."
Here are some of the most interesting
ones.
Don't forget that children, like plants,
Buffer seriously from want of sunlight.
Seep the nursery as light and as home
like aa you can and have lota of fresh air
for thetn. .,
Don't forget that children are more se
riously affected by impure air than
grown-up people.
Don't forget that little children are
easily depressed by gloomy surroundings,
and that this lowers their vitality.
Don't let the nursery be used aa a laun
dry por a larder. You should never keep
food there.
Don't think that any room In the house
will do for a nursery, as "It's only for
the children.' ulve the sunniest, airiest
and most cheerful room in the house to
the children if you want thera to be
sturdy and strong,
Pon'fc phake or acold a child who wakes
UP at night and cries. Often night ter
rors are a purely nervous affection, and
to bejiarsh with thera only makes mat
ters worse,
JJott't forgot that you sometimes harm
your children by dqlner too mueh for them.
There are a great many things which It is
far better to teach children t do for
tatrtA:lv!a.
In the Kitchen
If you find that your soup Is too salty,
the Housewife says to add. a few slices of
raw potato and cook a little longer. The
idea Is that the potato will absorb the
uperfiuou salt.
She also saya that it wijl Improve your
Me coicsen immensely if you run the
Jr.s'.aA and outside with bacon drippings
t.fora you stuff It Sausage used Instead
of stuffing is good for a change.
If your croquettes are heavy, try draln
tag them with a newspaper. Crumple the,

THE ART OF
LOOKING NICE
By a Practical GlrJ
If you have very little to spend, don't
buy anything In a very bright, notice
able color. Dark shades don't "dnte" as
a bright one does.
Besides that, one soon gets tired of a
bright color; and if ono has to go on
wearing it all tho same, one qulcklpr
grows to hate the very sight of it.
Choose washing gloves for light wear
if you can't afford a cleaner's bill.
Chamois, if carefully washed, will last a
surprisingly long time and always look
nice.
Plain Tailor-mades
Never wear the skirt of a coat and
skirt costume Indoors. Nothing shabbies
out a skirt more quickly than to loll
about in It. '
And do buy good tailor-mades If jou
can possibly afford them. A good coat
and skirt always looks good, while a
cheap one cries aloud of Its cheapness,
and never looks really smart. A plainly
cut one can be worn quite well for sev
eral seasons, and quickly smartened up
by the addition of a pretty collar, wrist
frills and a corsage bouquet
If buying a corsage bouquet, choose
colors that will Bo with anything. A
mixed bouquet Is far more useful than
ono of one color only.
The Useful Navy Blue
Navy blue Is quite the most useful
color to choose for a coat and skirt cos
tume if one Is hard up. It is always
worn and always looks smart, t
Directly you take it off put the coat
on a hanger, and fold the skirt full
length and hang both on a chair to air.
A costume that Is well aired every time
it is worn never gets thaC fussy smell
that it Is apt to develop If It Is put di
rectly into the wardrobe.
Just occasionally it la worth while to go
to a good hairdresser and get a lesson In
how to do one's hair, It is money well
spent, for up-to-date halrdresslng does
help to make one look smart.
Shabby Hats
If you wear silk or velvet hats you will
find that if you stick the pins In Just
anywhere the sides will soon become very
shabby looking.
Thy this plan. When the hat Is new
put the pins In where they will be com
fortable, and afterward stick them Into
the same holes before putting the hat
on.
It keeps so much tidier than if the pins
are put into different holes every time.
Give your tailor-made an occasional rub
with a clean wash-leather If you want to
keep It looking nice. It removes dust and
stain in a most surprising way,
t
Oloves and Shoes
If one's gloves and shoes are neat, that
Is half the battle. I can't afford to get
new gloyes often, but I manage to keep
mine tidy by patching them. It sounds
fupny, I dare say, but it Is quite a suc
cess, notwithstanding,
I save the best parts of any old pair
of gloves I am throwing away, and when
there conies a bad hole in a pair that I
am wearing I look over my pieces, and
generally find one that will go with the
worn pair.
Then I cut a circular piece a little big
ger tlian the worn part, buttonhole it
round, cut out the worn piece, buttonhole
the edges of that, and then, dropping the
piece In. buttonhole the two together
It makes a quite neat patch and looks
far letter than a badly worn place, L
find that I can keep my gloves In good
condition a surprisingly long time by fol
lowing this plan.
Buy only what you reallv need, and the

Joan Meriet. . .
tier mother ond Ms mother acre that
the children must not be snoouraoed.
Without warning, Ouy Wimberley dis
appears, CHAPTER XVTT.
IT was John Erlelgh who brought the
terrible news to Monksilvet-John Er
lelgh, white-lipped and haggard-eyed.
"Ouy," he stammered out "the boy has
run away. All night we have been look
ing for him all night. We shall find him
bring him back, of course; but it is a
cruel business for you, Anne cruel,"
He gasped out the broken sentences.
His head was bowed as though he did
not dare to look Lady 'Wimberley In the
yes. And she stood there quite motion
less. The hand which had been stretched
out to greet him had been raised quickly
to her throat as the first words, had fallen
almost as quickly to her side, and she
had remained thus, while he faltered out
his broken sentences. There was no ves
tige of color in her face. It might bave
been carved out of white atone.
"We found out last night." he con
tinued. "We have been looking for him
everywhere. Of course, we shall find htm
some boyish prank but cruel cruel
Anne, my dearest."
He moved fqrwardastep to take her in
his arms, but she shrank back from him.
The movement did not seem to show aver
sion. It was as though she thought that
this was not a time for a lover's embrace,
even though It wero meant to comfort
her.
"Guy has run awayT" she said stowly.
"No, that Is not true. Why should he run
away? He was so happy at school."
"I don't know why he has run away,
Anns, dear. Some boyish escapade, I've
pa doubt But be has given us all a ter
rible fright Well, he is bound to be
tjirougbt back, 'fhe police bave wired ev
rywer?Mi leoklsff evtrywbero-a boy
like that he couldn't possibly escape; be
pldes, ho will como back of his own free
will he hasn't any money."
Sho flung herself Into a chair and hid
her faco In her hands. For nearly a min
ute Erlelgh did not speak. Then he said;
"Of course, I've frightened you, Anne;
my faco frightened you but I've been up
all night I look a ghastly wreck."
He smiled as if to reassure hor.
"Ho has not run away," she sobbed;
"It Is not true." Then she suddenly sprang
to her feet and faced hhn. " Toll me tho
truth," she said fiercely. "Tell me tho
truth let mo know the worst"
The door opened and Lord Arthur
Meriet entered tho room.
"Now, then, Anne, old girt," he said
cheerfully. "You mustn't go all to pieces
ever this the young raBcal. Well, Erlelgh
will give him a fine hiding when v.o fetch
him back."
She camo quickly forward and caught
hold of his arm.
"Arthur you have news good news
for pity's sake."
"I've no news at all, old girl," he said,
putting his arms around her shoulders
and kissing her; "but we'll have him
back In a Jiffy, the young rascal, to
have given us the slip for so long. A
chip of tho old block, eh7 Don't you re
member Georgo gave 'em the slip at
Eton: very nearly expelled; but he had
a rare thrashing. Now, look hero, Anne;
jou've not got to worry until there's any
cause to. To look at Erleigh's face one'd
think there'd been a death in the family.
But he's not used to sitting up all night
like I am nights on end I've been up
In Africa, afraid to go to sleep."

he left with Erlelgh half an hour later
Lady Wimberley began to think that
nothing so very terrible had happoned
after all. Even John Erlelgh was smiling
as he--parted from .her, with the promise
that he would return again at lunch time
and tell her tho latest news. It was
not until he was alone In tho car with
Lord Arthur that he seemed to collapse.
There was a hopeless look In his eyes
as he leaned back on the cushions.
"Why did you como after me?" he
rauiterea xniCKiy,
"Because I was a fool to let you go
at all. Great Scott! I could see you'd
nearly given the show away. And be
sides, you're wanted down at Harptree."
"Anythlng-fresh7"
"Tes, they've found a letter from Guy
In one of his school books. It's ad
dressed to you, but the Inspector opened
It. Its not a very nice letter. He saya
he s sick of the school, of you, and that
he's going to clear out"
"Sick of the school?" Erlelgh repeated.
"A forgery, of course."
K.',7f.r.f, 'ikely! '? fact- aImost certainly;
but It 11 do to show Anne, I think, rd
have brought it up, but I thought It best
for you to have a look at it You know
the boy's writing better than I do, and
1 uth.'J,k ?.ou d. better Beo t ft"d decide
whether it will pass the scrutiny of a
mother's eyes. They're dragging the
river. That's why I wouldn't let Anne
come down to Harptree."
lty?raKKine tlle rJver? She will hear of
"They're giving out that they're drag
glng for the body of a tramp that dis
appeared two days ago."
"She's bound to learn the truth-very
soon. Don't you think we'd better tell
her everything?"
"Certainly not Now look here, Er
lelgh, you've got to pull yourself to
gether. The battle is not lost yet"
When they reached the schoolhouse
Lord Arthur found tho boy's letter and
gave It to Erlelgh. It was short and to
the point
"My dear ChiefI'm about sick of this
rotten school, and after what you said
to me the other day I think I'd better
clear off. You won't onlss me and I shan't
miss you. Tell the mater not to worry
I shan't come to any harm, and -11 turn
up at Monksllver later on Yours,
"WIMBERLEY."
Erlelgh smiled grimly. "Not the sort
of letter the boy would have written."
he said.
"He hasn't got himself Into trouble, I
suppose," paid Lord Arthur.
"Only over that shooting affair. Of
course, that may have thrown him off
his balance. But I'm pretty sure tho let
ter is a forgery."
"Yes pretty strongly."
"You did speak to him about the
pistol T"
"The writing and paper school paper.
eh?"
"Yes, but any pne can buy it at Lin
cock's in the town, It's like the boy's
writing very like "
"Well, well leae that for a moment.
There's something I want to say to you
befors the police aomo to disturb us. i
want to talk to you about your sister."
"My sister. Lord Arthur?"
"Yes I think tho time has come for
you to know that your sister has got
herself mixed up In this business."
"My sister?" Erlolgh stammered, "Mrs.
Travors mixed up In this business?
What nre you talking about. Lord Ar
thur?" "I ought to have told you some time
ago; I wished to see how things worked
out I quite made up my mind I would
tell you If these scoundrels got hold of
my nephew."
John Erleigh's eyes flashed angrily.
"You aro talking nonsense," he said,
In a low voice. "What can my sister
have to do with thl3 horriblo business?"
"She is a friend of Dick Meriet"
"I don't bellevo It I have never heard
her mention his name."
"Very likely not," said Lord Arthur,
drily. "But Dick Meriet has been watched
for somo years, and your sister under
an assumed name Is known to have been
a friend of his. Denham recognized her
the first day she called at Monksllver.
She Is also a friend of Vertlgan's, and
she was on tho platform at St Pancras
tho day they tried to kidnap Wimberley.
I'll give you chapter and verse if you
like. You'd better elt down ond pull
yourself together. Of course, It's a bit of
a shock to you."
John Erlelgh sank baok Into one of tho
armchnlrs In his study. His face was
white and there wero beads of perspira
tion on his forehead. Many horrible
things had, happened lately, but nothing
so horrible as this If it wero true.
"Ynil'rl hHf1 aninlr. o nln ..I, V .-.
Arthur. "Nothing like a pipe to quiet
the nerves."
Erlelgh filled his plpo nnd lit it with
trembling fingers. Lord Arthur remained
standing by tho fire. For a mlnuto thore
waB silence. Then Lord Arthur began to
speak. He kept back nothing of what he
know about Mrs. Trovers. How Barker
had found her tnlklng to Vertlgan In thnt
very room, the visit to Lord Arthur's
chambers, the meeting of Dick Meriet
and Vertlgan In tho tatter's lodgings,
where Mrs. Travers had been announced
-all this was set forth in a quiet nnd
matter-of-fact way, as If the speaker
were an unprejudiced Judge summing up
a case. When Lord Arthur had finished
ho lit a cigarette and kept his eyes fixed
on Erleigh's face.
"You see," he said, after a long pause,
there Is no absolute proof any more
than there Is (proof that Vertlgan Is
mixed up In the business. But I think
one la Justified In drawing one's own con
clusions." Erlelgh made no reply. His face was
ghastly. He sat huddled up In his chair
like a man who Is utterly crushed.
t "V" meant to ,et yu marT Anne."
Lord Arthur continued, "If I could pos
sibly help It. Sooner or later I knew that
your BlBter'a share In this shocking bus
iness would come to light. I should like
to think that she was innocent-for my
sister-in-law's Bake. But one cannot think
impossible things."
Erdleigh passed his hand across his
eyes, rose to his feet and stared dully
round the room as though he hod sud
denly found himself In strange surround
ings. Then he picked up his hat. placed tt
on his head, and began to walk alowlv
towards the door. '
"Where are you going?"- queried Lord
Arthur sharply.
To find my sister London." V

READINQTERMINAL MARKET
We did have a delightful motor ride,
and on arrival at the hotel, found a very
smart crowd thoro for lunch. The Nice
Man had telephoned in advance, so a
charming little table, decorated with
freshly cut roses, was awaiting us, and
within a few minutes of our arrival
lunch was Berved.
At a table next to ua wan a merry
irrouD of people, who turned out to be
old friendB of our. host, ao we all got
quite friendly. Ono young married
woman among thorn Was particularly
Btyllsh. Sho wore a costume of aand
colorcd gloveskln cloth. The slevelesa
bolero fastened nt tho left Bide, under a
large braid ornament of tho same soft
shade. She woro a very pretty sand-colored
chiffon velvot waist of which ono
had glimpses, and the deep arailioles of
tho bolero were outlined wtlh fitch fur.
The long set-In sleeves of velvot were
finished with a deep cuff outlined with
fitch, and tho fur collar, out high and
tightly fitting, was flnlshel with a small
tea rose. The skirt won beautiful, cut in
the EmDlro style, with a doep yoke ex

For the Hallroom 'Girl
Here are somo good suggestions from
the woman who lookB after hor own
clothes. It often happens, you know, that
the working girl can't afford to send her
Sunday BUlt to the tailor moro than once
a season, and in tho meantime It gets
orushed in hor hallroom closet So If you
happen to bo a hallroom dweller, you can
become quite proficient by following the
rules given below.
Always have your suit on a hanger, and
It will pay you to got a bar for tho closet
as it Just doubles tho closet space. If
your landlady will permit try to have
an electric Iron in your room and a pad
ded sleeve board. If you uso hor gas Iron
be careful not to get It too hot. A damp
cloth placed over a precious gown whllo
you aro Ironing it will be a wise preca
Uon. All dark, materials, as a rule, will be
improved if you sponge them with a weak
solution of ammonia before you Iron
them. Our grandmothers used blued wa
ter and cold tea, and many a good house
wife uaos them, too. These are both good
for removing the "shine" from serge.
A Pretty Breakfast Set

These aro the days of tho fox trot and
Its attendant frivolities, and any ono can
easily Imagine how exhausted Milady
feels after a stronuous evening, to say
nothing of a dansant In the afternoon, and
a long session at brldgo before that Tho
most useful of arrangements has been
discovered In tho shops for the tired
woman, or the lnvahd. It is the break
fast set Tho wholo thing is charming
and Is composed of a mahogany tray and
a breakfast sorvlco of the daintiest china.
To keep Milady's coffee from becoming
cold, a "cosey" Is added, and It is a most
sensible addition, too.
The coseys aro made of soft, quilted
satin, and open on the sides wide enough
to cover the fattest of coffee pots. An
other use for them is to put them over
the telephone when Milady Is asleep. Of
course, they are closed all tho way up the
sides, when they are used tor this purpose.
To Make a Cheap Stew
To make a cheap stow, take one pound
or more of leanest part of skirt, skin
and cut Into small squares. Melt somo
of the fat in saucepan, brown squares
nicely, cover with boiling water and al
low to simmer one hour. Add a carrot
and turnip (If liked), sliced, pepper and
salt After the hour, slice two or three
onions and cook another half hour. The
meat will be as tender and tempting as
steak at twice the cost
Refreshing Lemonade
To make lemonade take the Juice of
two lemons, the rind of one lemon, one
pint of boiling water, four or five lumps
of sugar or to taste. Remove the rind of
one, lemon In thin fine strips, place them
In a Jug, add the strained juice of two
lemons, pour in the boiling water, then
add the sugar, stir well, cover, and let
It stand until cold, then strain and use.
