DISAGREEABLE TRAITSTHE BEST
WAY TO ACHIEVE UNPOPULARITY
The Daily Story
One Bachelor Declares the Fair Sex Is Divided Into Bores,
Disagreeable Women and Spiteful Cats.
By Ellen Adair
TO Tllfl person who goes around the
world with opn eyes, oil sorts of curi
ous little comedies are. -momentarily en
acted, and the only way to understand
human nature Is to duly observe It. Cer
tain habits are decidedly Infectious, you
know, and Just as the Influence of a pleas
ant person will brighten up a whole room
ful of people, to will the atmosphere which
clings around a disagreeable person act
as a species of dsmper and breed general
Unpleasantness alt around,
Once upon a time I heard a cross old
bachelor hold forth on the subject of
women. He was a regular misogynist, by
the way, and couldn't stand a woman
about tlio place. An old man-servant was
his trusted attendant and constant com
panion, and Into his cars ho would pour
forth his unflattering opinions of woman
kind. "Women are divided Into three classes,"
he would say testily, "and really. I don't
know which particular class I dlsllko
most! There ore, first of all. the Dores.
Then the Dlsagreeablo Women. And last
of nil, the Spiteful Cats, f think that
most women could come under any of
these three categories. You see, most
women are bores, and at the same time
disagreeable and catty. No, I never wish
to have nnythlng to say to them!"
If I recollect aright, the old gentleman
who thus sweeplngly condemned the en
tire fair sex at one blow had strange I
vengeance wreaked upon his head In the
person of a very determined cook, who
somehow or other ousted the man-servant
from his Job, took upon her strong
shoulders the management of tho old
gentleman and finally married him! lie
must have been accessory to the crime
or whatever the legal expression Is for
he seemed quite complacent under the
tyrannical yoke of the largo and buxom
cook. But then I understand that what
kept his spirits up under the cross was
the thought of how ho had disappointed
various hopeful female relations who had
been literally counting the months till
he should remove himself to nnother
world. "It Is such an unpleasant surprise
for them," ho would chuckle to himself.
"They won't get any of my money now!"
The world Is a place which pretty well
reflects our own attitude toward It. If
we go around acting as pleasantly as we
know how, our mood will be taken up
by others and wo shall find life very
delightful and very kindly. Conversely,
1 have frequently noticed that one un
generous action Is prolific of others. We
all detest the person who takes nn un
fair advantage of us, and are Inclined
"to do as wo aro done by." It's human
nature, perhaps, but It Is not a resolu
tion conducive to either our own or other
persons' happiness.
when, as the consort of Napoleon III, she
reigned In such splendid brilliance In alt
tho magnlflctnco and luxury of the court
of the Tullerles. She was a wise woman,
who. In spite of all the tendencies of a
court and the frivolous people who
thronged It, preserved a tender heart
with regard to the young girl debutante.
"Vou are sure to meet many Ill-natured
people here, my dear," she counseled ono
of them. "Take care oh, tako'care thai
Jou do not catch the Infection and return
Ill-nature by becoming Ill-natured. Tou
are sweet now. Vou will be adorable If
you guard yourself against the tempta
tion."
The soft answer which turneth away
wrath Isn't aluays easy to summon when
people do and say disagreeable things.
Retaliation Is natural, but distinctly un
wise. And unless wo, too, wish to be
come as unpopular as the person who
does and says tho unkind things, we will
remember that forgiving even unto tho
proverbial seventy times seven la the
finest course, and at tho samo tlmo tho
best policy to pursue.

are cool and delight
ful for summer days,
but they are hardly
wearable for formal
occasion. Fashion
able costumes for
formal wear are con
fined to net, crepe de

White Is the first se
lection, with touches
of color for trim

of sheer and heavier
materials, such as
chiffon cloth and
crepe de chine, or
taffetas with Georg

much In vogue.
Last season saw
the beginning of the
stripe fad, and this
season's styles have
accentuated It to a
degree. Satin striped
crepe de chine Is a
iQvely, lightweight
goods, and comes In
every possible color
combination. Candy,
awning and "Just

quite the thing for
afternoon wear.
Today's fashion
shows one of the best
novelty costumes
seen this season. The
style Is a not un

more or less con

of the striking de

Navy and white Is
used, and the blouse

ALICE looked up with A start M ft
. shadow fell across the floor. 8ho
had not heard the horseman's approach,
and her first warning camo as she looked
up Into the tanned face with lis square
chin and steel gray eyes.
"Bid I frighten you?" asked tho In
truder, as he noted her dismay. "I would
not have dropped In like this If I had
known there was n woman about, I
thought thin was a 'batch' shanty."
"My brother has gone over lo Corson
vllle," she said without thinking. Then
her face went white. Phe had admitted
that she was alone on tho ranch, and
this man was clearly the original of the
rude half tone of the circular on the
wall headed "Wanted! J20.0M Howard!"
Thcro could be no mistake. Hero was
his full description and his name. Tho
bill was datod back In August. Ho must
be a clever man to stay out of the
clutches of the law for nil that time.
The more clover he was the more dan
gerous. The only thing to be dono was
to mako tho best of It and nt least hldo
all traces of fear.
"I go past hero pretty often. I'll drop
In sometimes," ho announced. "That Is,
If you'd care to hovo me."
Sho murmured some conventional
speech nnd covered her confusion by put
ting nwav the freshly Ironed clothes.
Then sho turned hor attention to the din
ner and In 10 minutes they were nt table.
Her fear had worn off. Somehow hat
steady gaze was most reassuring. Tho
man might bo all that tho bill declared,
but there was nothing to ho afraid of.
Hayefl was a capital story teller and ho
hod hor In a gals of laughter as ho kept
up a constant flow of small talk.
Hho was almost sorry when tho meal
was over and they rose to leave tho tabic
lie helped her carry tho dishes Into tho
kitchen nnd then calmly established hlm
solf In the armchair again.
"Thnnks for a good dinner nnd most
pleasant company," ho said afl he swung
off the big sombrero. "May V come In
again?"
"Ves, If you think It safe," she said
softly.
"I don't think It's safe," ho smiled,
"hut I'm coming."
Ho touched his horso with the sDurs and
rode off. Sho went back to the houso
slowly. It hurt to think that ho was
only a desperado. Tho bill stored her In
tho face. With an angry twitch alio toro
It from tho wall and thrust It into tho
fire.
Somehow she could not bring herself to
confess to her brother that It was Hayes
who had been at tho house, and her ac
count of tho happening of tho day con
cerned an unknown cowboy of whom sho
could glvo only a very hazy description.
Ho might be a man sought after by the
law sho could not betray him.
Twlco nftcr that sho saw him, onco at
tho house and again ono afternoon when
sho was riding alone.
Then came tlfe third encounter. Sho
had ridden In to Carsonvlllc nnd tho
shadows wcro falling as .she ncarcd tho
ranch. Just oft tho trail Hayes' horso
grazed quietly and sho rode toward It.
With a cry sho perceived In the shadow
tho figure of a man and realized thai
It was Hayes.
He was bleeding from a wound In tho
shoulder and had fainted from loss of
blood. Tearing strips from her habit
iho manufactured a rudo bandage nnd
with her handkerchief sho washed tho
tiny nolo nnd made a pad to place over It.
Sho had Just finished hor amateur sur
gory when ho opened his oyes. "You,"
he whispered. "So they didn't got mo
nfter nil."
"Vou wero all alone," sho said softly.
"Now you muBt not try to talk. I am
going to try to get you Into your saddle
and tako you on to the ranch."
He raised himself upon his left arm,
but sank back with a groan. "I guess
I'd better lie quiet n moment," ho Bald,
"until my head stons swlmmlnc."
Her quick ear caught the sound of hoof
bents. "Hero comes help," she cried.
".More apt to -lo more trouble," 'ho
gasped. "They feel safer now It Is get
ting dnrk."
"They won't tako you," sho cried, as
tho rider camo nearer. "It's only ono
man."
"I guess I did the other ono up," ho
muttered. "Hand me my gun and get
behind that tree."
As tho rider came to & halt at tho sight
of the horses she rose to her feet.
"Throw up your hands," bIio called,
Ievollng tho gun. "I have tho drop on
For answer thcro was a flash and oho
could hear the whistle of a bullet as It
sped pasf-her. Sho pointed her gun,
pulled tho trigger and as tho recoil toro
tho weapon from her shoulder sho saw
the newcomer fall.
llo recovered consciousness before sho
had completed her task, but Hayes was
on his feet now and a pistol held at his
iuu neiii mm quiet.
It was slow progress with two wounded
men under convoy and Alice was glad
when she heard her brother's hall up
the trail. He had becomo anxious and
had ridden out to meet her.
She rode forward to meet him.
George," she said, "a man Is back there
with the sheriff. I hul in ihnnt h
sheriff to prevent his taking my res
cuer. I'm not golns to have him cap
tured. Ho saved my life. "Wo owe it to
him to let him go free."
"We'll talk that over when we get to
the house," ha said, spurring past her.
"I mean what I say," Bhc called de
fiantly aa sho wheeled and followed.
It was not until the ranch had been
reached. and now dressings applied that
sho breathed more freely when she saw
her brother had rebound the stranger
and left Hayes with his hands free.
"It was a close call for you," he said
as ha handed Hayes a light, "Alice
swears that she Is going to let Saunders
go because ho saved her life."
"No," corrected the girl. "It was Mr,
Hayes who saved me."
"Vou told me It was the man whom the
Bherltl was after," Insisted Oeorgo. "Jack
Is the Sheriff."
"But that circular," she said, puzzled.
"The one In the kltchen7" Alice nodded.
Her brother rolled on tho fjoor m an
ecstacy of mirth and It was Hayes who
offered tho explanation. "It was one of
the boys' Jokes," he said kindly, "I was
photographed when I went to Frisco last
summer. They thought It was a need
less extravagance and some one got up
that circular and seemed to think it was
aNgood Joke on the Sheriff to advertise
him as a fugitive.
"And you aro not an outlaw?"
"Don't you think you could love the
Sheriff as much as a desperado?" he
asked boldly. He read the answer in her
eyes and drew her toward him. Her
brother sat bolt upright.
"Well, ho said, "you aro In the captur.
ins uusincss ior fair tonight, trirst you
get Saunders, who is worth 10.000 good
railroad dollars, and now you capture the
Bberirf."
"No." she said shyly as she offered her
cheek for his congratulatory kiss. "I
think he captured nae when he carne to
dinner."

SUMMER HEALTH HINTS
FOR BUSINESS WOMEN
Dress Coolly, Get Fresh Air and
Exercise; "Don't Wory," Says
Mrs. Pierce.
Gentle woman reader especially If you
happen to be a business woman listen
to a few words of sound advice. Perhaps,
you will get a vacation, and If so, no
doubt you have selected tho ploco where
you will spend tho precious two weeks.
Itcgnrdlcss, however, you must not forget
that "dog days" will soon bo here, not to
mention tho many days during which tho
city will bo baking under tho summer's
sun. How will your ofTIco or factory
work seem to you then? Will you go
about It fagged out, wan nnd worn, tired
from head to foot, and spend Innumer
able days praying for autumn's cool
broozes. If you do, In many cases. It
will bo your own fault.
Tho summer days are undoubtedly hard
days for tho business woman, but thoro
Is no reason why she should not weather
tho summer Just ns well as tho nverago
business man If she uses common sense
and gets plenty of three things fresh
nlr, proper food, nnd plenty of exercise.
The assertion that women In general aro
unfit for business on account of meagra
physical equipment Is untrue.
The foregoing Is tho opinion of Dr.
Lydla Pierce, of tho Women's Homeo
pathic Hospital,' who has amplo oppor
tunity to observo the physical conditions
of many business women In largo cities.
"All will admit," sho Bald today, "that
It is much easier to work In winter than
during- tho scorching summer months,
but thoro Is no doubt that n Httlo com
mon senso wfll help women to stand tho
heat and work up to their usual standard
of efficiency, regardless of tho thcrmomo
tor. "In tho first plnco, women should dress
cenBlbly during tho summer. Tho present
styles aro decidedly cool as far as dresses
aro concerned. In fact, some peoplo
think they aro too cool, perhaps," Doctor
Pierce said, laughingly.
"But I am referring especially to
shoes," sho continued. Women should
wear low-heeled shoes to work. I am
suro that hlgh-hcelcd shoes 'provo only
an additional strain during the summer
months.
"Then, again, business women should
toko nil tho exercise they can get. In
stead of sticking nt homo on Sunday let
them got out to church and bo out In the
open evorv mlnuto thiv cnn. Vri ni.
'will accomplish wonders. If tho nvorngo
bunlncss woman would Inhalo plenty of
fresh air, say even a fow lungfuls, boforo
going to work. In the courso of a. few
weeks sho would feel like a different
woman, I think.
Doctor Pierce said that tepid baths are
very refreshing, but sho said sho would
not ndvlso a business woman to tako very
hot baths, especially In summer. Sho
aaacu mat a business woman, if she
wnnts to keep her health In tho broiling
summer heat, "should not worry."
Does anybody In Philadelphia know the
llttlo girl who Is pictured hero? She is
tho chubbiest sort of 3-year-old person,
wth tho fattest lttlo legs and arms and
trrnv eves flecked with Impish brown
spots that ordinarily denote n mer.y
temperament. ....
But Itoslo the child declares that la
her name Is not merry. For four long
weary days she has been away from her
mother and father, nnd In all that time
no Inquiries have been made concerning
her, and nlthougn ner predicament nas
been advertised no Information has been
received about her.
It almost pnsscs belief that BUch an
ndorablo youngster could havo been de
liberately abandoned, and yet that Is tho
theory which Is held out nt tho Philadel
phia General Hospital, whero tho child
was taken when no ono enme after her.
Early Mondny morning she w'as found
wnndorlnsr aimlessly around In tho vicin
ity of Sd and Arch streets by Policeman
Qarforth, Ha took her to tho 4th nnd
naco 'street police station nnd placed
her In charge of tho matron there, think
ing BUrely that It would only bo a matter
of a fow minutes heforo the mother of
such a desirable youngster would rush
In frantically to Invoke tho aid of tho
pollco In locating tho "lasted" one.
But this scene, so typical In pollco
Btatlons, did not tnko place. Monday
passed. No Inquiries wero made, nnd tho
child grew polo nnd taciturn. In fact,
she's almost too young to bo Intelligibly
voluble Alt tho Information that could
bo coaxed out of her was that her last

INCIPIENT foot trouble among children is al
most universal, and large ailments grow from
small beginnings. It is never too early in the
child's life to begin intelligent care of its feet but
it may be too late.
Even heavy diapering often disturbs the
natural poise and starts arch trouble. Eapidity of
the foot's growth between the ages of 2 and 4 is
hardly realized by most parents, and in those years,
just when it is most necessary for body building,
healthful play is interfered with by foot weakness.
The square toe idea has been exploded. No
foot is square. The Geuting idea teaches the
doctrine of foot freedom. It provides a shoe which
correctly follows the lines df the foot itself, and
which so poises the weight of the body .as to give
the foot no burden to bear, creating a parallel
stride and allowing for sufficient action to develop
the foot muscles.

We warn mothers not to nag their children to
toe-out. This is incorrect, and positively harmful.
We warn against the promiscuous use of arch

are competent to prescribe them.
We advise mothers to protect the growing girl
from high, misplaced heels which cause an ab
