MASCULINE LEANINGS FOR'
LURE OF THE UNATTAINABLE
The Girl Who Wishes to Be Admired Should Remember
, That Familiarity Breeds Contempt and There
F fore Should Not Cheapen Herself
r,- , ,
By ELLEN ADAIR
WHAT we cannot get I, of course,
exactly what we long to poe.
The longing frequently becomes an obses
ion, and we feel that It ihall profit us
nothing If we gnln
the whole world and
lone that upon which
I TjJvV. our foollah hcarta nro
act Children crying
for the moon are no
more nbiurd In their
longings than we are.
And the unattainable
atwaya will havo
this atrange lure,
thla magnetic power
which draws the
very hearts out of ua.
No man valuea what he can easily ob
tain. No woman, either, for the matter
of that Tho spectacle of tho fair damo
xel dragging a doien scalps at her
chariot-wheels may not be edifying, but
It Is none the less a fact And the reason
that she trails those selfsome scalps
through the very mire lies In 'the fact
that she possesses sole power over them
to do so and she knows It
Borne men show a curious failure to
understand the workings of the feminine
heart Perhaps It's just as well that this
should be so for us, at any rate If a
man lays bare the Inmost secrets of his
soul to tho averago girl, nnd brings her
to a full realization of the fact that she
and all that appertains to her nro en
tirely Indispensable to him, then she's
going to use that power on sundry occa
sions when It had much better bo left
dormant! She is going to attach him to
her chariot wheels, and the dragging
process may not be entirely soul-satisfying
to the unfortunate victim. Yet tho
eternal femlnlno in the woman is going
to make her do precisely that sort of
thing. '
The reverse sldo of the picture Is true.
too. No man would desire the moon If
the moon were to bo had for tho asking.
Nor does he seek the foolish maiden who
is only too willing to accept every Invita
tion he deigns to give, and to concede
to his every whim.
"If a man get all he wants before he
gets too hopelessly entangled In the path
of dalliance to escape matrimony, you
can bet he'll stop at flirtation," said a
gentleman of much .experience recently.

A STUNNING TROTTEUR FOR
STREET AND DANSANT WEAR
NOTHING Is so wel
come In a well
dressed woman's ward
robe as an effective street
costume. Tho tailored
suit often unswers this
purpose, but only to a
limited extent. For In
stance, there are certain
affairs afternoon dan
sants, auction, particu
larly the chnrltable kind,
and such when a smart
one-piece frock looks
"TTOOre dressy and more
appropriate than any
other style of apparel. It
is a very strange thing,
but any ono who knows
the psychology of clothes,
if you could so term the
art of wearing the proper
thing at the proper time
and on the proper occa
sion, will tell you that
the one-piece costume
fulfils a unique need for
the average woman who
has a number of social
duties.
Velvets of all kinds,
and in particular tho
wonderfully soft chiffon
velvet, nro seen on the
afternoon frocks for
smart occasions. Tho
early openings In the
I'arislun atellor.s showed
a number of velvet offer
ings, the most popular
being made In the shade
of deep wine-colored tint
supposed to resemble the
uniforms of a certain de
tachment of the French
army after hard usage
at the front.
Even If American wo
men will not wear this
color, the tallleur shown
tr in today's cut Is made up
In velvet In a wonderful
tete de negre shade, and
trhnmed with bands of
bcajfer fur. The blouse Is
extremely plain, with u
vest of fragllo chiffon
. nnd a sort of Jacket of
the velvet The skirt is
made with the fashion

Plucky
MBS. BROWN DUCK was a most
beautiful rreatute. So beautiful was
he that when a hunter up in the north

save her life and take her back home with
him. Hut t was no easy matter to ratcli
her. After days of laying nets, and of

EVENING
"Any girl cnu get klssed-even In these
days of femlnlno preponderance, but to
stny kissed that's a different matter,
nnd only tho accomplished flirt can see
such n matter through successfully "
"They msnago these things so much
better abroad; In Italy, for Instance,
whero the coquette drives her lover wild
through the medium of an Iron-barred
window; or In France, where "mamin"
tnkes the plnce of the barred window.
Hut over here, Rlrls haven't tho sense to
make barbed-wire entanglements, and
they altogether loso sight of the fact that
what can easily bo obtained Is seldom
worth the seeking."
I received n letter from n maiden all
forlorn not very long ago, seeking the
usual advice on affairs amorous. The
young man In tho caso had, llko tho
lirlnco in the fairy-tale, kissed and rid
den away, leaving the erstwhile lady of
his heart alone and lamenting. "I can't
think why ha went off llko that?" she
wroto In a straggling hand, "Can you
tel' me the reason why?"
Indeed I can, O maiden all forlorn!
Once n man has been given carte blanche
In tho osculatory lino ho generally does
bctako himself off to fresh fields and
pnstutes new. The charm of tho un
known has fled, or. In other words, the
gilt Is figuratively oft the glngerbrcnd.
If he can get kisses easily, he will as
suredly take them. Hut he will take him
self off sooner or Inter, when tho novelty
of the nffnlr is over.
Where n dcflnlto engagement has
tnken lncc, matters are, of course, some
what different. Hut
the forlorn damsel
whose true love, so
far from running
smooth, had run off
altogether, was not
hitched up by any
Buch tie. Not that
the modern engage
ment Is much of a
tic, anyhow and
even In engagements
the feminine acces
sory to tho fact or
whatever the legal
term may be, should
remember that a lit
tle wholcsomo neglect on her part toward
the other member of the pact Is very
Balutary and that In every case familiar
lty breeds contempt.
SMART AFTERNOON FROCK
Mrs. Duck
youikelf It's more lonesome to be among
people whf know each other than to bo

Not a duy pusned till she was explor

GAY FASHIONS SEEN
AT GIMBELS' OPENING
Waist Line Comes Back in
Styles That Follow Paris
Dictum
Any one who makes a study of early
autumn nnd winter fashions as demon
strated at tho Glmbel opening will come
to tho conclusion that waist lines are
coming In agnln. Toquln offers a smart
navy serge tallleur with an hourglass
walit line, outlined by a narrow and ex
tremely smart belt of black patent leath
er. And, whatever may be said to the
contrary, tho I'nrls dictum controls the
American woman's fashions, even In war
time. Colorings nre decidedly sombre, and
the mllltnry Influence Is evident. Dull
green, navy, tete de negre and block are
tho predominating shades. The latter Is
pnrtlculurly popular, with tiimmlnga of
white or mustard. Ooats are short,
belted In nt the waist line, and flaring
out at the knees. A broad band of fur
gives this bouffant effect, with a high,
tlo.-ely fitting collar of tho same. Heaver,
black nnd white fox and martin furs
aie seen A notlcenble Innovation is tho
uso of dull red and sold touches of em
broidery on navy suits, as shown In the.
Paquln creation.
Onc-plece costumes are, almost without
exception, made of velvet. A stunning
model from Doeulllct Is made of brown
velvet, with n basque bodice, buttoning
straight up tho front to the high fitch col
lar. A tiny pointed yoke of the velvet Is
used at the front of the blouse, and the
wide skirt Is edged with fur.IilnuscHnip
novel Indeed, one style shown to be worn
with n suit Is made of dove colored
chamois cloth, smocked in blue and tan,
and made with a full peplum.
Weeks shows an old-fashioned velvet
gonn with a wide cape of cardinal velvet,
edged with beaver. The front Is laced to.
gether with silk cord and the skirt Is very
full. This shade of led is said to be
very popular in Paris. A very striking
little dance frock for the debutanto is
made of pink chiffon, trimmed with loops
of silver rlbbo'i at intervals of three or
four Inches on the skirt and bodice. Pas
tel shades are still in vogue for the young
girl. Illack, with metallic ornaments, le
worn by the older woman, although a
few mldnlght-bluo and egg-plant purple
afternoon frocks are seen.
PORTABLE SCHOOLS HERE
Acting Superintendent Garber Sug
gests Rolling Buildings to Remedy
Part Time Evil
The school will be brought to the child
1' the child cannot be brought to the
school, and In a novel manner In this city,
if the suggestion of Dr. John a. Garber,
acting superintendent, is adopted.
Portable buildings, consisting of one
classroom to accomodate 40' pupils, and
costing from 1200 to J20OO, Is the rem
edy he advocates to relieve congestion.
There are several factorH that make
the portable school a possibility here.
There are more than 20,000 school chil
dren on part time. New buildings, under
process of construction, will go far
toward ultimate relief. Jn the meantime.
It Is pointed out, a remedy which would
provont a delay In the educational ad
vance of thousands of children would be
provided by the portable school.
Shifting population leaves neighborhoods
comparatively deserted which once were
crowded and where schools were built and
arft now useless. The portable school
could be taken to the points In the city
where tho ureatest congestion Is reported.
Suggests Remedy for Unemployment
Unemployment In seasonable vocations
and during hard times is preventable, ac
cording to Morris L. Cooke, Director of the
Department of Public Works, who advo
cated teaching employes who now work
only In odd periods of tho year, several
other trades, which would keep them busy
the year round. He spoke last night at a
banquet of the notary Club, "If we do
what we can with unemployment in good
times," he said, "we will not have It with
us when times are bad."

UNITED STATES WILL BE
WHITE SOX NATION SOON
President Wilson la Urged
Act to Relieve Dyestuflf
Situntion at Once
Tho United States may become a nation
of whlto sox perforce unless diplomatic
measures ore taken to relievo the short
age In dyestdrfs, according to members
of the National Association of Hosiery
and Underwear Manufacturers. The As
sociation at a meeting at tho Manufac
turers' Club sent an urgent request to
President Wilson to take measures to
havo foreign dyes brought Into this
country.
The entire supply of dyes Is now about
12,(C0,0rx pounds, the manufacturers say.
Ordinarily tho honlory makers of this
country uso 21,000.000 pounds a jear, so
there Is now u shortage of D.OOO.OOO pounds,
end no prospect of making It up. Tons of
dyes nre now being held In Uuroncnit
ports ready to be shipped, but awaiting
diplomatic negotiations with Great Urlt
all nnd acrmany, tho manufacturers say.
Scores of proposals to relieve the situ
ation were advanced nt the meeting. A
commlttto on price urgently recommend;
cd an Increase from 25 cents a pair to 35
cents a pair on socks made of nrtlllclal
silk. It was suggested that a general
movement be started to have Americans
wenr white socks. One nnd all, the man
ufacturers ngrccd that domestic dyes,
promised from time to time since the war
started In Kurope, have failed to jnatc
rlallze. Substitutes for the foreign product
put forth to 'date have proven almost
useless nnd nut up to the foreign
standard.
Tho Committee on Prices consisted of
W. K. Chlpman, of Unston; James S.
Hambo. of Korrlstown, and J. K Wells,
of St. Joseph, Mo. The Committee on Dye
stuffs was mnde up of Gustav Over
lander, of Rending; Frnnk Sutro, of this
city, and T. F. Thlmc, of Fort Vnne,
Hid.
President Wilson was requested In the
esolutlon to "take such effective steps
ns will relievo the situation." JuBt what
these steps should bo was not outlined.

CRITICISE METHODS
OF TEACHING X-RAY
Roentgen Ray Not Good for
Everything, Says Physician
in Experts' Meeting
ATLANTIC CITV, Sept. 22,-Caustlc
criticism of existing methods of Instruct
ing medical students In the fundamentals
of the X-ray phaso of medical science
supplied stirring notes for the opening
session today of the annual convention of
the American Roentgen Ray Society here.
"Too many instructors are talking over
the heads of their students," protested
Dr. A. M. Cole, of Indianapolis, after
Dr. II. K. Pancoast, Philadelphia, had
told the convention about some of his
experiences In Roentgenallc teaching.
"We should teach the fully equipped doc
tors of the future the primary facts, that
X-ray is good for some things and not
good for others. There Is a crying need
for practical Instruction."
"There Is too much technique In the prl
mary teaching," added Doctor Donahan,
Cincinnati. "Some students don't know
what an ampere Is when they are" turned
out with a smattering of the fundamentals
and a surplus of technique."
X-ray specialists are here from all parts
of the country. Tremendous advances In
the science are predicted as a result of
the practical uso of field equipment on
sanguinary fields all over Europe. The
meetings are in the Chalfonte.

Miss Mary Davlcs, nn heroic Eng!
nurse, who inoculated herself with

tatlons of Dr. Kenneth Taylor, an Atne:
can doctor in l-aru, was the subject

Although Miss Da Vies was Und4 L

In the opinion of Dr. "William Henry
wnisn, or. uie i;niiaren s Hospital,
Philadelphia, tne medical prof.
would be exceedingly wary of accept!'
Miss Davles' experiment until a sctea-
ttnc body had passed definitely upon
serum.
"It Is entirely posIble that the
of such an antitoxin could be esUbllshew
In fact, it Is one of the things, this tryhsn
for a gangrene serum, that doctors art
always experimenting for, but If Dorter
Taylor's discovery had been proved acw
and had been accepted by the FreneV
army, I am sure that our army would havi
been aavisea ana burgeon General BImB
notified. II
"The nurse displayed a wonderfal
amount of nerve and courage to subject
herself to such a terrible danger lass
Interest of humanity, but I feel that w
cxperlmcnt. as the dispatches tell of It f 'i
is practically valueless from a sdoatMa r

According to Dr. AVilmer Kruien. Mm 1
Davles' net comes under the general htm h
