WOMEN THE BIG SUCCESSES
OP THE AGE, SAYS M'LISS
- - .i i i.i
Those Who Harp on Feminine Failures Have
Overlooked the Facts in the Case, as
Activities in Every Line Prove
Ik .ANOTHER nlnco on this pngo Ihcro Is printed a resume of an article by a
Hler, a deep student at our sex, who declares that woman Is the- "world's
' worst failure."
"VIih no Intention or desire to qualify ns a choerful cherub, I should like
to register a protest. Not only do I not botlcvo that woman Is the world's worst
iallure, but I do not oven think she Is a failure at nil.
Thoro Is In every woman, 'Rebecca West declares, a deep Instinct for
elegance, and It Is this Instlnrt wlitch "urges her, Just so far as It Is not resisted
by lior Intelligence and education," to lend an nlmlesa, vacuous existence, which
ehoves her soul Into tho background and makes her body and Its adornment of
Jammbunt Importance.
I do not think tho Instinct for elcganco Is one that should bo stifled. On tho
contrary, I think It should bo fostered. If I had any crltlcslm at all to make It
would be that this Instinct Is not met with as often as would be desirable. He
causa an Ink-spot on a new evening gown keeps her awako at night, Miss West
opines that wo havo not succeeded. Is not this making tho proverbial mountain
out of tho equally proverbial tnoU-hlll?
I am suro that the kind of woman who would not be deeply distressed, who
would not develop several wrinkles nnd lose a wholo week's sleep over a ruinous
smudge on a brand new, becoming and cxpcnslvo frock would bo a drab, tin
Interesting person, Indeed.
Of course, there nro women who think loo long and often on wnys nnd
moans of pleasing men. Of course, thoro are women who use their work as a
stopping stono to matrimony. Of course, there are women who prefer having
their bodies well dressed to well-dressed minds.
No one denies these very patent facts, nut the mnscullm? world linn Its
Beau Brummoll8 nnd Its Chestorflclds to correspond with tho feminine proto
types. If Chestnut street has Its "chickens," hns It not llkcwlso Its bnntnm
roosters little, dnpper men with their mincing gaits, dangling cigarettes nnd
cunning canes?
, Ono hates to babblo about tho war at all times, but In tho fnco of the great
work that women are doing how can any Blncero observer of tho activities of
tho sex In these troublous limes daro mnko the assertion thai women nro the
world's worst failures?
Miss West herself. If I am not mistaken, cites In nn article In another
magazlno tho work that womrn of tho present day are doing In Kngland, France,
Eerbla and Belgium. I remember one example that sho quotes of a woman who
ts traveling to tho dovnstatcd villages In Belgium carrying condensed milk In
her llttlo pushenrt to tho starving bnblcs that remain there.
Consider tho work of Winifred Holt, who Is putting new life nnd courngo
Into tho blinded soldiers of France. Consider tho work of Madatno Antolne
Cupago, martyred on tho Lusltnnln, who In tho early days of tho war estab
lished tho first battlefield hospitals In Belgium. Consider tho work of Madnmo
Blavko Qroultch, who hns gathered funds to sow seed In bloodsoaked Serbia
lifter this war Is over. Consider any number of big women who stand for big
things, nnd consider how their number grows ai this enrth grows older, nnd
then answer tho question for yourself: "Is woman the world's worst failure?"
.
Why So Tale and Wan, Fond Lovcr7
Advlco to rejected lovers: Shoot yourselves. Not dangerously or fatally, but
Just enough to make a big nnlsc. In this way you mny soften the hard heart ot
tho damsel of your choice, nnd thereby gain a bride.
; Tho 16th century lyrist, It would seem, had tho wrong dope. "Why so palo
and wnn, fond lover?" queried he, "prlthoo why so pale? Will, If looking well
can't movo her, looking 111 prevail?"
Hose Beck couldn't "see" Dr. John Klrby ns her sweetheart when ho wns up
and doing nnd capable of taking his three meals a day. Driven to desperation
by her attitudo toward him, ho attempted suicide.
"I lovo him now," cries Miss Itoslo, "I want to marry him."
Women lovo tho big, tho spectacular. They tlko a man to stand forth In
bold relief from tho rest of his kind. A dead or wounded hero Is preferable
to a llvo nonentity nny day! M'LISS.

Dear M'Llas Tell mo what a young girl who strives to llvo right Is supposed
to do when sho is constantly misjudged and misunderstood Plcnsc glvo ma a
little advice, for at present I am very miserable EDNA.
It Is very hard to answer your letters except In the most general way. On
tho face, of It you seem to bo Mirroring from what all young pcoplo suffer they
are all, In somo way, misjudged and misunderstood, Equally, on tho faco of It,
you aro doing the proper thing by trying to llvo right. Slnco you say nothing
concerning tho exact circumstances, I can only givo you very general advice,
and I know that It will bo linrd to follow, because you will have to apply the
rules yourself. If you nro living right tho only thing for you to do Is to mako
It appear that you aro living tight.
You remember that Julius Caesar said of his wife that sho must bo abovo
suspicion. Ho did not accuse her of doing wrong. lie didn't even misjudge her.
But ho insisted that sho behavo so that people wouldn't even have tho chance
of talking about her. It Is always easier to conform to tho habits of people so
long as you havo to llvo with them than to follow your own Inclinations.
You havo ono consolation, which you must always keep. You know that
you aro right. Never do anything you know to bo wrong, oven If it makes things
easier for you. But try not to outrage tho feelings of others.
Dear M'Llas Kindly tell mo tho meaning of tho names Jean, Catherine, Jay,
May and Malcolm. I thank you In advance. J. V. H.
Jean Is from tho sumo Hebrew root as John. Literally translated it means
"iho Lord gavo graciously." Catherine wns tho name of the patron saint of girls
and virgins. It Is from tho Syrlac, meaning "crown." Saint Catherine wore a
tripio crown, typifying martyrdom, wisdom and virginity. May Is from "Mala,"
tho mother of Mercury. Sacrifices were mado to her on tho first day of tho
ji.onth of Mny. Malcolm signifies literally "tho brow of a rock, a bald head."
As far as I can discover Jay was first a surnamo before It wns given as a
Christian name. I do not know its significance, If it has any. Can a reader,
perhaps, thjow somo light on tho subject?
Dear M'Llss Kindly tell mo the meaning of tho following names: Elizabeth,
Charlotta and Amelia. Thanking you, I am E. C. P.
Elizabeth is from tho Hebrew meaning "oath of God." Literally translated.
It Is "one who swears by God." Charlotte Is taken from tho Teutonic and
means "noble-spirited." Amelia signifies "gentle, engaging, courteous."
Dear M'Llss How can I Btnrch a fringed article? BESSIE.
I know a woman who holds all tho fringe tightly In her hand while sho dips
tho rest of tho article In tho starch. When the piece Is dry Bhe combs the fringe
out with a course toilet comb, making it look as well as when new.
Dear M'Llss My brushes are all soft from being washed In hot water and
ammonia. What shall I do for them, as they are quite new? HALLItOOM.
Yqu should never use these strong liquids on good brusheB. The most
rellablo wash for thera is tepid water with gasoline In it.

EQUALITY IN FAMILY WORRIES
BASIS OP REAL HAPPINESS
By WILLIAM
TX A
well-regulated
household thero
JL should bo a fair and equltablo division
of the worrying. Tho father, for Instnncc,
should worry about his Ufa Insurance pre
miums, his sick and accident Insuranco
prcmlumr. his Income, his character and
his future existence or non-existence, as
hu believes. Tho mother should worry
n bo ut hor brend and cakes, her new
clothes, tho children's cleanliness and
health. Whatever more worrying mny
be necessary should bo passed around, so
that every ono mny have a share.
The g.-ent t. uble in some Households
Is that father or mother assumes the
burden of doing all tho worrying. This
Is hardly fair. It makes fathe. or mother
very uuricult to get along with, If not
easy to get along without. Generally, It
la mother who worries most. Somehow
slv Imagines sho will bo happier If she
has plenty to wory nboi t, so she borrows
somo of father's worries, and father Just
grins and bears It the best he can.
Father has n way of coming home at
night and wnndcnng why mother Is so
anxious to get out and gad the streets or
hang round tho bargain sales. Home looks
pretty good to father when ho arrives
homo from work. If he had to stay
around tho plant where he Is employed,
and mako himself generally useful thore
163 hours a week, you can rest assured
that he, too, would bs only too anxious
to welcome tny chance diversion which
might relieve the monotony.
Whoever worries ought to do so pri
vately. If ono is afraid llttlo Johnny's ill
ness or accident Is more serious than one's
husband or wife believes, or that busi
ness Is going to be bad next month on ac
count ot the backward season, or that tho
sun Is going to cool off and stop warming
the earth pretty soon, keep It strictly prl-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How to Find Out
Kindly advise me what kind of examina
tion Is necessary to determine whether one
has tuberculosis. It is sufficient to top on
tho upper part of tho chest and listen with
tho ear? Do theso symptoms suggest
tuberculosis: Anemia, frequent head
ache, nervousness, soreness In right chest,
Rlood pressure 143?
Answer Tho patient must remove all
clothing nbove the waist line. The x
amlnatlon must cover the entlro chest,
foro nnd aft, nbove and below. Tho tem
perature, pulso and breathing must be ob
served. All these things must be done o:i
different occasions, possibly half a dozen
tlraes. In order to reach a positive con
clusion In an early case. Tho symptoms
you describe do not suggest tuberculosis,
but neither do they exclude It.
Blood Pressure and Tonsils
Havo been advised to have my tonsils
removed have had repeated attacks of
quinsy. But nn Insurance examiner finds
my blood pressure a little high. Would
that mako the operation Inadvisable?
Answer It would bo better to have the
tonsils removed.
