M'LISS SEES BACHELORS FACE
TO FACE WITH WAR PENALTY
Uncle Sam in Need of Money for Navies, Armies and the
Like, and May Make the Eligible Unwedded
for Their Freedom
Pay.
IT LOOKS tie though bachelorhood were coming to bo considered a privilege
for which n, man will have td pay. Uncle Sam has got to have nomo more
money for navies nnd armies and things, and, judging from all accounts, he's
seriously considering making the unmarried men of the country dig down In
4 their Jeans nnd fill his coffers for him.
The fact that he who has spurned connubial happiness already pays a
tax on a $3000 Income, whlto his wedded brother Is exempt to the $4000 limit,
will have no weight, It Is said, with the "powers that bo" who have been en
trusted with the revision of the Income laws. My Information doesn't say
that theso legal wiseacres have themselves bowed down to Hymen. The sup
position Is, however, that they have, nnd that, considering themselves suf
ficiently taxed, they will now put their heads together to trim the wings of that
"freo as a bird" creature, the heart-whole and fancy-free bachelor.
Incidentally, some of Philadelphia's most prominent citizens, politically,
financially, professionally and socially havo resisted Cupid's darts Senator
Tenrose former Governor Edwin Stuart, Judgo Sulzberger, Dr. D. J. McCarthy,
C. Willing Hare, Dr. Hobert Le Conte, Livingston L. Diddle, the Wheelers
Arthur nnd Walter "good catches" all of them will havo to shell out for tho
privilege of single blessedness.
In tho meantime tho bachelor maids who, cither by the grace of Heaven
or their own energetic efforts, are In the Income class, will not bo Immune
Taxation without representation, this; but. despite that fact, It seems to ba
the "male old maids" who are doing all the squealing.
Antls, Too, Arc Gnthcrlng Speed
WHILE Pennsylvania's 60 delegates nnd alternates nre preparing with much
enthusiasm to trip Washington-ward for the national suffrage conven
tion, to bo held from the 14th to tho 19th, a small minority (but select, I sup
pose) nro wondering what has become of tho "antls."
You wouldn't bcllovo It, girls, but thoy, too, havo been resting up after
the victory of last November 2, which, lam told, they consider exclusively
theirs. Nevertheless, next Thursday they spring Into action once more. A
committee meeting will bo held at tho headquarters in the Finance Build
ing for tho purposo of mapping out ways and means of controverting "suft"
activities.
I can't understand this victory business, though. There seem to have been
two of them, nnd while tho suffragists are preparing what seems to me rather
convincing literature on tho Pennsylvania results, I hear tho "antls" aro get
ting out pamphlets to show Just how disgraceful the defeat was. It's an un
clover woman who can't argue both ways.
Outfaddinu the Fox Trot
IT IS said that tho skating fad will outfad tho fox trot. Early In July
tho papers printed alluring photographs of "Philadelphia's Ice Palace."
A few months later I saw notices that stock was selling, but where Is tho Ice
Palace? The Waldorf-Astoria has a skating tea every nftcrnoon on tho roof-
garden, which Is a practical way to utilize a space which would ordinarily bo
Idle. I wonder If any of our enterprising Philadelphia or Atlantic City hotel
men will follow suit?
Girls, Are You in Earnest?
MEN havo a more ov less Instinctive distrust of woman's ability to ac
complish things, anyhow. And, In a certain sense, I don't blame them.
Too many wealthy girls take up professions llko law and medicine and arts
for tho so-called Bohemian llfo which they hope to enjoy, and. In many cases,
do enjoy. And you can't mako a Hfework out of a hobby horse. But, on the
other hand, many a man docs the same thing. Success Is Individual, It must
be earned by every one, Irrespective of sex.
SKATING FAD INTRODUCES
MANY SMART INNOVATIONS
IT 19 btlng whispered
about that the skat
ing fad will replace tho
rnee for dancing. Al
ready fashionable New
Yorkers have made en-
gagements for smart
parties a glace, or
whAtever one's particu
lar set chooses to call
them. The nmnller
towns must look upon
this with an Inquiring
glance, becauso tho ar
rlvat of Ice In those
vicinities Is more or
less on the knees of the
weather gods. But be
that ns It may, we all
take It upon ourselves
to make our own
choice between tho con
flicting fads, and I am
euro that there aro
many devotees of tho
dnnce craze who will
remain staunch. The
practical end of the
skating fad Is the new
anil Interesting line of
fashions which It has
Introduced. Ono can
hardly go Into a shop
nowadays without en
countering one of the
fur-trimmed, leather
Jacketed costumes for
tho Ice party on dis
play. Another good but
sadly neglected point
about tho skating suit
Is that it Is warm
How mnny winters
have wo felt tho Icy
blasts blow through
thin sklrti without ut
tering a murmur? But
that Is all changed
Milady has woolen
gloves, heavy boots,
buttoned high up tho
leg, woolen stockings
and a weather-proof
coat which would shel
ter on engineer on n
midnight route. She
carries her skates slung
over her shoulder, at
tached to another pair
of walking boots, ready
to put on. Tho more
clahorato costumes aro
trimmed with wide
bands of fur nt the
skirt, collar and cuffs,
as shown In today's Il
lustration. This has a

the slender waist line, with a high Chln

Millions for Gifts: Not One Cent for Rubbish
A MILLION dollars, according to a recent report, will bo taken from the sav
ing banks of tho city In a few days for the presumable purposo of Christmas
gift exncndlturc.
pQ. Let us send up a solemn prayer to heaven that this monoy will not bo
epeiu in (.lie iiiuvuuuiu luiiiuLU-piuuuaiiiuim uuu uiu uuuiuuuus uiui'imiuu-uvi'i-
glass hatpin holders.
A wonderful array of cholco glf(s aro to be had In the shops for tho pur
chasing. If you haven't an eye to beauty In the matter of gift-giving (but what
woman will admit that7) at least you can bo utilitarian. Some people prefer
useful remembrances, anyhow.
Speaking of Christmas gifts, once in a whtlo a really original suggestion Is
born In tho brain of the masculine mind. A man I know gives nn old lady
friend of his she Is an Invalid and her communication with the outside world
Is solely by means of letter-writing a dainty box of stationery. Nothing original
in that! But wait, ho Includes enough postago to stamp all the envelopes.
A Plea for the Childless Woman
BACK of tho abduction of Bnby Snyder by a young woman as yet unidentified
lies a story which. If tho light is over turned on, will doubtless prove ono of
the greatest examples of the lengths to which starved motherhood can be driven.
Tho police havo a. suspect. She Is a 19-year-old mother whose first baby
died at tho ago of 4 months. Perhaps she has been told she will never havo
another. Though her action In returning tho Infant when she could not secure
milk for It without discovery denotes sanity. It may bo that tho tortured girl was
temporarily crazed by an obsession that Baby Snyder was her own.
At any rate, In a day when there Is much rant anent race suicide and the
selfishness of the American woman, It Is encouraging to know that a woman
exists who will faco disgrace and penal servitude In her frenzy to possess a
child.
And even If this incident had not occurred, tho recent action of a number
of childless women, notably Mrs. Flnlcy J. Shepard, who was Helen Gould, In
adopting motherless waifs and taking them Into their hearts nnd homes, gives
the He to much of this silly criticism. M'LISS.

Letters to Editor of Woman's Page
Favors Retention of Maiden Name
Dear Madam It's good to hear you get
In a word about women giving up their
names at the altar. It's all right to say
that a woman of Individuality can retain
It regardless of the name she sails under,
but I'd like to see the man who would
consent to give his name up even though
It's Smith, Brown or Jones. Women
give up enough at the altar, anyway, and
why should we, when we have made a
success In somo particular lino In which
a name really counts, consign It to
oblivion and start all over again?
Miss Byan Is right. I hope others fol
low her example.
ANNA F. ULSTER.
Neglect Sometimes Necessary
Dear Miss Your Indictment In yester
day's paper of mothers who leave their
children play around carelessly and get
out of their eight Is very good as far as
It goes, but what about the woman who
has a young brood of four or five, who
keeps no servant, who must do the mar
keting, the shopping, the housework and
the cooking? Can she be expected to
have them at her apron strings for 2t
hours In the day?
It seems to me that this constitutes a
real problem for the city to face. Maybe
this new school system that everybody's
talking about would help by keeping the
children under the eye of the teacher
longer. It would leave only the babies
tor the mothers to look after. Anyhow,
don't blame us too much. Our very love
for our children makes us have to neg
lect them some time.
ONE OP THEM.
Scores Atlanta Medical Board
Dear M'Llss I think almost any
teacher would be respected by her com
munity for refusing to comply with such
an order as the medical director of tho
Atlanta public schools Is trying to en
force. Thank heaven, despite all this talk
about modernism and tho new life, some
things still remain that women will not
do In order to retain their Jobs, There
are many things, It Is true, that we do
have to put up with, such as working
In offices with men who smoke like
steamships and stick their feet up on
desks with no regard for our feelings.
But these things we can overlook. When
It comes to the point of making women
undress for a medical examination, how
ever, before a strange doctor, when a
reputable woman doctor or the family
physician would do as well, a halt should
be called.
I hopo when women get the vote they'll
legislate such men as the Atlanta tyrant
out of ofllce. Sincerely yours,
A WORKING WOMAN,
JL cold" delusion today is tho fact that
chills or chilly sensations are so fre
quently experienced with tho onset of
pneumonia, bronchitis and coryza ("cold
In the head").
But there nre plenty of other diseases
Introduced with chills, too. For example,
septicemia, or acute blood poisoning, al
most Invariably begins with chilliness or
an actual chill. Malaria, erysipelas and
other Infections aro characterized by
chills. A chill Is a symptom of Infection
already consummated, and not a causi
of Illness.
Ill thn fnait rt tnfliiAnvn n tint mikiIi
I too common "cold" tho chilly sensations
mat creep up and down the back at tho
onset are very clearly due to surface
nnemla, the blood being temporarily busy
elsewhere at the seat of Infection, fight
ing the germ Invasion.
The chill that occurs with the onset of
pneumonia Is of similar origin. When tho
chill begins tho harm is already done.
The pneumonia germs the pneumococcl
have crossed tho borderline and planted
n colony of foot soldiers on the battle
field. The system naturally rebels, all
available blood Is rushed to tho sccno of
hostilities at once; this leaves the skin
surface temporarily unsupplled with
warm blood, and tho patient begins to
shiver convulsed In tho throes of battle.
In children an actual convulsion may
occur instead of a mere chill.
But a chill Is a favorable sign once In
fection has occurred. It signifies that
the blood Is at least putting up a deter
mined resistance. In alcoholics, debili
tated old people nnd others below par
tho chill Is conspicuously wanting, and
the outlook Is accordingly more serious.
Chill moans Internal congestion. The
Illness may stop there If the Individual's
resistance Is strong and the Infection not
too lrulent. Hut whatever tho result tho
fact remains that all Is not "cold" that
shiver)1. The chill Is a smptom the first
gun of the battle perhaps but never of
Itself a cause of Illness.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Edunrd S. W. asks: Is tho finding of
tuberculosis germs In tho sputum tho
euri'i st sign of consumption?
Answer No incipient tuberculosis of
the lungs may be diagnosed long beforo
any bacilli aro discovered In tho sputum.
T. P. writes. My little bo. aged three,
has frequent attacks of fovcrlshncBB and
upset stomach, and I nlunjH note that his
breath has a peculiar heavy, sweetish
odor, oven before tho fevcrlshncHS comes
on. My mother Insists this means worms.
What would bo ojr c pinion? Tho boy
generally got.i well In a day or so, after
he has a good dose of castor oil.
Answer It may be worms say, one
chance In BO that It Is worms but the other
VJ chances are thut It la simply Intestinal
IndlgeHtton produced by errors of diet.
The sveet breath Is characteristic of tho
acid fermentation going on In stomach
and bowel. Spare tho poor child the castor
oil, glo him milk of magnesia Instead
It's ensv to take and ncutinllzes formenta
tlvo nclds besides; nnd then It won't
constipate him next day

1000 GIRLS LEARNING
TO BE LITTLE MOTHERS
Volunteer to Aid Child Federa
tion in Campaign to Reduce
Infant Mortality
One thousand llttlo girls, ranging from
9 to 14 years of age, are Joining the Lit
tle Mother's Leaguo annual campaign of
the Child Federation to help make It a
greater success than those of previous
years. One thousand of them nnd every
one giving up play time after school to
learn the rudiments of caro due to smaller
sisters and brothers and every one Vol
unteering to aid tho federation In tho
campaign to reduce Infant mortality.
The campaign Is being directed chiefly
with a view to reach those potential
mothers who may not have a chance to
tnko Up the regular currlculums that tho
Board of Education conducts In Its house
keeping centres nnd through which 33,000
girls will rpcelvo this year instruction in
tho care of the baby.
The regular class yesterday afternoon
wos the scene of tho origination of a new
plan to get greater effectiveness out of
the work. Tho teachers were quizzed In
stead of the regular lecture. After tho quiz,
try teachers In n general discussion, pre
sented problems arising In their classes
which were not Included In the regular
schedule. Theso same teachers, by the
way, aro members of the federation who
give their tlmo nnd services In this work,
nnd they aro suporWied by nn ndvlsory
committee, so that thoy arc well qualified
to lecturo nn well as demonstrate on tho
vital need of proper caro for babies.
Through the co-operation of tho Bureau
of Health tho federation has started an
Innovation this year In the form of 21
municipal nurses who got to the homes of
those who need Instruction and teach
the mother herself Just what steps bIio
should tnke to Inruro safety for her In
fant, By co-cpcrntlng with the federa
tion, the nurses nro now nhle to reach 40
families where they could formerly reach
but five or six.
Through the addition of these nurses to
tho present corps the federation today nn-
nounccd that It would be able to organize
and opernle 21 additional Little Mothers'
League classes In the public schools, tho
classes to start in January.
Christmas Hints
Two very noticeable reductions havo
been seen In a certain shop during tho
last 10 days. The shopping hints an
nounced that silver cloth camisoles, with
flesh-pink straps over the shoulders and
tiny Trench roses, sold nt $2.50; now rfn
other shop comes out with tho announce
ment that they may be had at Jl. Of
courso there Is a llttlo difference In tho
quality, but tho article Is really a good
valuo for the money. It makes a timely
suggestion for somo ono who needs n
camisole.
Another reduction Is In tho warmly
quilted Inner Jackets which the women
are wearing Inside their suit coats, It
they want to keep out of tho way of a
winter cold. Theso ordinarily sell at Jl.23
and come In almost any wanted color.
This is for the model without sleeves:
thoso with sleeves cost $1.75. Tho same
shop mentioned before Is selling tho same
Jackets at DJ cents and 1.35,
Silk stockings nro more varied and
moro elaborate this winter than thoy
ever were before. They havo all kinds
of decorations nnd nil kinds of color
schemes, Ono very handsome style seen
recently was rhlnestonc trimmed show
ing a diamond-shaped design In bril
liants on the nnkle, nnd costing but $2.75.
At 31 Innumerable fancy styles with
stripes, plaids, colored tops and clocks
may bo had to match the tailored suit.
A traveling bag is always acceptable
to "him" If he hasn't one already. Good
serviceable-looking models mny be had
In black at J3 up. Among tho leather
novelties nn ovemight case wns sho wi
formerly selling at JG50. and i-nrked
down to J3.75. Also, tiny velvet bags,
