thlj playing of parts;
Women as arch deceivers
Ulino Gullibility and the Woman Who Trades Upon
That Fact Her Own Sex Is Not So
Easily Imposed Upon
By ELLEN
EYHUT clever woman la at heart a born
actress. She mar or may not reallxe
ttw" fact and It the doesn't reallxe. It.
then she Is all the more accomplished In
tear roles. For she ptaya them so whole
heartedly that she
doesn't see that after
all, It Is only acting,
and that aha Is merely
a player ot many
parts.
This clft for the
playing of parts has
caused woman to be
regarded as an arch
itoeelver. rerhaps she Is but that Isn't
her fault. It la merely the fault of the
men, or rather of mascullno obtuseness
"lien were deceivers ever," goes the
ancient saying. Yes, perhaps. But If
men are deceivers, then It Is the women
who are arch deceivers.
1 heard a woman discussing this very
petnt the other day. She wns a clcer
woman, and she knew men thoroughly
or thought she did. "Yes, I know that
soma one once, said that 'men were de
ceivers,'" she announced complacently,
"but I can't help thinking that the only
reason this person didn't mention women
In this connection was because he thought
feminine deceit too well established a fact
to need to be put on record.
"You see, man's deceit Is an artificial
sort of thing, acquired mainly through
force ot circumstance and the straitened
gate of the Ten Commandments. No man,
for Instance, who could live the free, un
questioned life of the South Sea savage
would ever want to be deceitful. But a
woman's deceit Is second nature.
"Woman simply must decclvo somebody.
It doesn't really matter who her husband,
qr the neighbors, or her best oung man,
or even herself or die. Deceit Is food and
drink to her. more Invigorating than
oxygen. 'The woman Hho Hcs In a per

never pierce that Impalpable armor of
falsehood wherewith she has gaily en
cased herself. Stronger than any giant
ah defies the world.
"A woman, bellee me," continued the
same redoubtable lady, with much empha

something to conceal. It Is the woman
who has nothing to hide who wears a

to himself. "I think I am the most

'Kb? What's that?" asked Old Man
Qwl from his perch In the self-same

I'd Ilka to see that silly fellow 1"
"Wily fellow T" cried Jimmy, forget

worried look, because she Is so good and
bored."
This certainly does seem a strange phil
osophy. At any rate. It Is a most uncom
fortable one. We women, of course, do
admit that men are mot gullible crea
tures. It Isn't hard to decclvo a man.
But at the same time, such n sleeping
condemnation of the entlro female sex as
that made by the strong-minded lady
above quoted must be refuted. Women
may be arch deceivers. Hut they are
sometimes arch without the deceit And
pretending to be what she Is not Is never
the ralson d'etre of the averago woman's
existence.
Speaking of the gullibility of men re
minds me of an Interesting episode I wit
nessed recently. A woman with a baby
In her nnns was meandering down a cer
tain street, a most doleful expression on
her far from prepossessing countenance.
The baby wns walling dismally, and tho
mother was brandishing a large bottle of
medicine In her hand. "My baby nnd I
have Just come out of hospital," sho
whined dismally, "and we need a dollar
to take us home to the town of X .
Won't ou please help us?"
Tho first man she accosted muttered
some unintelligible words of sympathy
and handed her a dollar. The woman
pocketed the dollar and set off In an
opposite direction. But pretty soon she
appeared again In the same street. The
baby had a remarkably healthy look, and
the bottle of medicine had nil tho appear
ance of colored liquid, so bright was the
hue of its presumably healing water. Yet
the two together literally "did the trick."
For In the space of half an hour that arch
deceiver had collected 3 nnd some small
change. I watched her count It all care
fully, then walk peacefully from her
happy hunting ground
to the next with a
watchful expression
on her healthy coun
tenance. Tho next
happy hunting-ground
was live blocks away,
and probably she did
as excellent n. trade
there as In the first
locality. The curious
thing Is that she didn't
deceive one single woman. In fact, she
soon stopped approaching the women alto
gether. But the men actually believed
her ridiculous little tale all of which
goes to prove their extreme gullibility.

"Oh, please, friend Owl, don't talk that

cited. "Sou only show how little you
know about breezes and winds. We have
a great many Important duties. Ruffling
your fathers Is only a very unimportant
pastime. We don't need to do that at
all If you dlllike It"
Old Man Owl was quite mollified by
such politeness on Jimmy's part, so he
said very graciously (for him): "Then
please don't do It In the future. And
while you are here I might listen to your
account of what you think you have
to do."
Nothing pleased Jimmy better than a
chance to talk about his work, which ho
really loved In spite of his complaining,
"Our most important work Is scattering
the seeds," he said eagerly: "and this
season of the year the seeds form so
rapidly that we are kept busy from
morning till night blowing them to their
proper resting places,"
"But I thought seeds Just dropped,"
said the owl curiously,
"Many think that," replied Jimmy:
"but such Is far from tho case. Each
little seed that forms Is taken, by some
breeze and carried to a place ot safety.
Look at this garden! See the many
itants all making seeds? Do you wonder
wo are busy?"
"No, I don't," said Hhe owl respect
fully! "that's a bljr Job!"

MRS. ELIZABETH FINNINGER
WOMAN CONDUCTS BANK
BUSINESS FOR HUSBAND
While Banker is at Mines Mrs.
Elizabeth Finninger Sells
Stocks
Tho name of one woman only Is listed In
tho three and a half columns In tho class
ified directory under the heading "Bank
ers nnd Brokers." It Is that of Mrs. Eliza
beth Finninger.
Mrs. Finninger takes equal responsibil
ity with her husband In the brokerage
firm of Finninger & Co. When he Is In
Goldfleld nnd Tonopah to personally look
after the Interests of the firm, the office
Is In charge ot his wife.
"And even In the first days when I
began In my husband's office, I didn't
find men hcsltnte to deal with a woman,"
mild Mrs Finninger. "Both men nnd
women como to me as freely as to my
husband. I find no difference In their at
titude toward me, nnd I find no differ
ence In dcnllng with them.
"But I cannot understand the disad
vantage under which a woman Is placed
who wishes to buy or transfer stock. A
broker does not like to handle stocks In
a woman's name. One must have the con
sent of her husband If she Is a married
woman. I must verify her right to sell or
transfer the Btock In her own name. I
believe It is possible for a husband to
stop the transfer or sale If It Is being car
ried out without his consent. Perhaps It
Is only n custom, but I wish wo women
could wipe It out. We that is, all brok
ersprefer to Jinndle stock In a woman's
namo under her Initials. That Is, Mary
Jnno Jones signs a paper 'M, J. Jones.'
With a man, we ask no questions. Why
the dliTcrcnce?"
Explnlnlng her work further, she said:
"We have concentrated In recent years
in gold stocks In Golddeld and Tonopah
I've been there frequently, and I know
conditions from the miners', as well as
the brokers' viewpoint. The last strike
we had was In 1906; so I think conditions
are better than they are In Colorado.
"We also have mines In Mexico; but
nt present we nio watching nnd waiting
for some conclusion there. The trouble Is
really between English and American
mining and oil Interests. Ono Govern
ment backs one set of concessions; the
succeeding one annuls the grants of his
predecessor and favors a Bccond set of
capitalists. And so It goes. I stand with

$70,000,000 a week? And. we forget that
three-fourths of the m$ney ubout to be
borrowed from us la, already owing to
our ammunition men, and all those who
are supplying necessaries to the Allies.
How long will this loan iHst? I think the

permanently.
"The war has affected our business. The

almost all other stocks are stationary.

Germany for silver la simply nil. Paper

QUAKER GRAY CREPE METEOR
WITH NAVY BLUE EMBROIDERY
AFTnnNOON frocks of all descrlp'
Xx tlons are being shown In the
shops with an alarming disregard for
consistency. Here you see a short,
extremely bouffant skirt, nnd a
basque bodice, nnd rlgftt next to It Is
shown a simple, dignified skirt, with
a smart coat effect nnd elaborate em
broideries. It seems to me that you
get Just about what you can nfford
to pay for this season, and there are
all kinds of gowns to select from.
For street wenr during tho moder
ately cool weather, serges, wool pop
lins and gabardines are the first
choice These nre made on severely
tailored lines, with touches of dull
gold to emphasize tho mllltnry tend
ency. Afternoon, frocks show an
nlarmlng diversity, probably because
tho season Is young- et for this par
ticular field Crepes da chine and
charmeuse nnd tho old favorite
georgette are nutlcenble. The styles
are too dlverso to describe any gen
eral tendencies, but today's Illustra
tion shows a rry pretty model from
Glddlng In gray crepe meteor.
This little dress Is designed ex
pressly for tho young miss who goes
off to boarding school or college.
Tho Quaker gray tint Is most becom
ing to a joung girl, nnd the girlish
line nre further accentuated by the
double tiered skirt of accordeon
plaited meteor, Tho girdle Is crushed
to the figure, with n shallow yoke at
the hips. The tassels on the endi ot
this girdle are navy blue cord. The
touch of hand embroidery on the
bodice Is the sntrib color, with a nar
row knot of moire ribbon. The
plaited collar Is made of white
georgette.
American Fashions
Every girl nnd every mother of a
girl Is talking about college clothes
Just about now, and mamma begins
to plan gowns that will wear and
daughter demands the latest cut and
something as attractive as art can
make It.
This has been season ot combina
tion dresses; that Is, of gowhs which,
by the change of n belt and gulmpe,
can be transformed from day Into
evening frocks. For such a gown this
pattern Is admirable. It provides a
good model for linen, gingham, wool
or silk, nnd will be very smart. In
deed, If built of tafTeta, bengallne,
poplin, or, for hnrd wear, serge.
Leghorn or Neapolitan straw Is
suitable for garden party frocks, and
they may be trimmed either with fluft
feathers, flowers or ribbons. The
plateau or Nlnlche hat Is firmly in
stalled Just now, and Is decorated
with soft, summery faded-out colors.
The brims are faced with ahlffon,
maline or taffeta and always repeat
the color of the trimming. An ador
able "bonnet" is of Panama violet
velvet, with sailor brim, faced with
