FEMININE FRIPPERIES HONEY
TO WOMAN SOUL, SAYS M'LISS
She Disagrees With the Doctor Mary Walkers
of This World, Whose Hobby Is the
Wearing of Masculine Attire
. i
H6W many women, 1 tinier, envy Miss Florence Khullfr, the young
riilladolpliln. woman who, eschewing; nil the fascinations of feminine Attire,
haa adopted for herself u Iiyhrltl costume, with nil of tho conveniences ot a
mtln'B garb and hono of tho nil tire of ti woman's.
Personally, I don't. In fact, If tho truth be suited, I feel u bit sorry for her.
1 think sho Is misguided In her point of vlow. 1 have never regarded tho skirt,
iho earring, the French-heeled slipper ns a baitse of woman's enslavement or
ns a sign that wo have not Advanced very far from tho barbaric stage, ntul I
would not feel at all comfortable or happy rigged out In an unrelenting vest, pack
coat and 'harsh linen collar.
Indeed, I beliovo u great deal of tho fun of life wolilif be eliminated If tho
anticipation of new costumes and glorious clothes combinations were denied us.
Far bo It from my Intention to Infer, W. t. Qeorgo notwithstanding, that
any happiness Is to bo derived from normlttlng clothes to becomo tho dominant
influenco in one's life: but Imagine, for Instance, looking forward to tho coming
of spring untlncturcd by any thoughts of the bonnet that Is to accompany H
nnd contribute u the geuelal spirit of roJmonoMCctire
Tho Doctor Mury Walkers of this world, wltb their i rml. -miiile and wlrirtlv
tailored Ideas, may be, ns they contend, ihe t rally sensible piuple ot earth.
Florence Ivlndlg and her Ilk may snu- n couple of hundred dollars annually by
tho adoption of masculine or scuilmasculino attire (though I doubt it. for clover
women Will not require much moro money for flounces and frills than tho average
man does for his tailored effects), but In so wiving, they are deliberately atrophy
ing that part of tho woman naturo which, since time Immemorial, has been clttir
actcrlstic of her tho love of beautiful, soul-satisfying clothes.
Wlmt Docs This Prove?
In tho Clermantown School test, embracing n wide varluiy of questions drawn
up to ascertain Just how well-informed the American youth Is, the boys cotn
ttelely outclassed tho girls. Does tills prove that tho inalo of tho species Is pos
sessed of more Intelligence than the female?
Supposo tho test had been on domestic science, dressmaking, or whether
iho next door neighbor's spring frock was brand new or Just rebuilt from last
gear's?
Enigmatic
'Cancer ot tho tongue," said Dr. "Jack" Da Costa tit ono of his crowdeil
clinics In the Jefferson Hospital yesterday, "occurs moro frequently to men than
to women. God knows why!"
Students who attend this famous surgeon's lectures and most of them
i o who can declare that he never misses an opportunity to tako a sly dig at tho
uex, and that ho enlivens even tho dullest subjects by his quips and bon mot3
whlgli havo women as Jielr target.
Not hu Is-not a crusty bachelor. On tho contrnrv, u docile husband, it Is
said, proving once more that, llko a dog's, a man's burls can often bo worse
than his bite.
Enter the Mantilla ,
Do you -cherish among tho possessions that you have laid away for use
somo tlmo when things como "In" again, ono of those delicate Spanish lace scarfs,
or perhaps o, gonulne mantilla?
Oct It out. The Castillan influenco which stole In, none knows how, has
becomo definitely established and threatens to outrival even tho already accepted
crinoline and Its concomitant styles for first place.
Indeed, you who haven't any Amialuslan heirlooms may tako heart. The
American manufacturers, ,urged by tho demand, aro creating lovely Spanish
laces, oven those with the chrysanthemum pattern so often seen in tho old
mantillas. M'LISS.

'Dear M'Llss I'leaso toll mo what I can
do with, my discouraging hair. It Is
straight and lifeless, and no matter how
much troublo 1 go to to try to fix It

people's. Is there any fluid that will mako

you will advise me. DISTRESS.
There aro curling fluids on tho market, I
am told, which tend to hold tho hair In
curl after It has been curled by tho Iron
or curler. There Is also a process which
some halr-dresaers employ, known ns tho
permanent wave, f spoko to a colffeuse
about the nllegod pcrmanenuy of, this
method and sho told mo quite frankly,
just as sho tolls her patrons, that Its
"permanency" is of only six or, say. 12
months.' duration, depending on rapidity
with which one's hair grows, for, of
coUrse, straight hair grows out Btralght
und there you aro I
Why don't you havo your hair treated
for Its lifcletsness? -Often hair which
shows a lack ot vitality Is but an Indlca
itlon of a general lack of vitality.
My advica is to watch your health und
have an expert tell you what treatment
will be best for your scalp. This will cost
you less than curling fluids, in the long
i-Un. Healthy hair Is always attractive,
and console yourself with the thought that
some people prefer tho straight variety
to curls.

Dear M'Llss Would you please publish
In your valuable column what becomes of
body of a person that dies In n hospital
be re In the city. A woman's body was
i Mmed and arrangements made by the
lesson who claimed her as his wife. This
ian then ran away and tho parents were
iotlffed, but never answered the letter nor
lalmed said body,
( think the woman was a foreigner and
probably her parents could not read the

there any hope of having it burled later?
A CONSTANT READER,
Apply to Dr. A. Hewson, secretary of

Do You Believe This?
A successful woman buyer In one of tho
big department stores was asked for the
secret of success the other day. This Is
what Mio said:
"A girl must bo ready to sacrifice al
most anything to her work. Sho must
think of It night and day. It won't do
for her to go home nnd put tho thoughts
of her woilc entirely out of her mind un
til the alarm wakes her up tho next morn
ing. No, she must study up the details
of her trade : sho must read.
"There aro trades magazines for almost
every occupation under tho sun nowadays,
and competition Is so strong, especially
where a woman holds down the Job. that
It Is up to her to know her competitors
and what they aro doing.
"I allow threo nights a week for this
kind of readln'g, nnd ono for studying.
This allows three over for recreation.
The trouble Is that wo are too much In
clined to feel that wo can rest when wo
really can't.
"A girl who watches tho clock la a cog
In the wheel ; she doesn't care for her
work and she will never bo a success.
Tho type of girl who goes Into a store
or Into a bhop to take up her tlmo be
tween graduation and marrlago Is tho
greatest obstacle that tho efficiency ex
pert has to overcome. She not only
hinders her own progress, but she acts ns
a deterrent upon her associates."
Sports Wear
Entire suits of golfino wool, velour nov
elty checks, plaids and stripes are smart
for spring wear. Theso aro ordinarily
sports modelB, belted In with a self-material,
suede or patent-leather belt. Com
bination suits are also seen. In two ma
terials. Colors Includo tan. rose, blue
green, purple, plaid and Joffre blue.
Drapery Again
If a skirt is short, it should bo very full.
However, many fancy house frocks havo
u rather elaborately draped skirt. This
should be just a bit above the ankles to
look well.
To Amanda
For ever fortune, wilt thou prove
An unrelenting foe to love,
And when we meet, a mutual heart
Come In between, and bid us part?
Rid us sigh on from day to day.
And wish and wish the soul away.
Till youth and genial years are Down.
And all the life ot life Is gone?
For once, O fortune, hear my prayer
And I absolve thy future care.
All other blessings I resign,
But make the dear Amanda mine.
J. Thompson.

REAL SURGEON ALWAYS SEEKS
ADVICE OP FAMILY DOCTOR
By WILLIAM
CONTRARY to the popular notion,
every graduate ot a medical school
who obtains a Ilccnso to practice his pro
fession is legally and educationally qual
ified to do surgery. Thoro Is no special
course ot training required by law In or
der to practice surgery. Tho general med
ical school courso fits a man for medical
and surgical work. However, It Is cus
tomary to spend somo additional tlmo In
poHt-graduato work It tho physician
wishes to establish himself In surgery
customary, but by no means essential.
Now U is unfortunate for the public
that tho vlow prevails that, because a
man can operate, lie necessarily knows
moro about the diagnosis and treatment
of disease than another man who docs not
operate. Wo bay unfortunato for this rea
son: Thero are surgeons and near-surgeons.
Surgeons fully realize their own
shortcomings In diagnosis and therapeu
tics or treatment. Near-surgeons eagerly
avail themselves of tho peoplo's credulity
and attempt to play tho rolo of all-around
specialists, to assume a ponderous nir of
wisdom, and to operate on slight pretext
or nono at all slnco people do delight In
having an "operation." Tho real surgeon,
who realizes his limitations, seeks the
counsel of tho family physician, who has
had exceptional opportunities to observe
and Btudy tho patient; bo summons to his
aid tho laboratory expert, the competent
specialist In this or that limited Held,, tho
X-ray expert. Ho weighs all the evidence.
ir divides the responsibilities with tho
family doctor or other consultants. If tho 1
verdict is opernie, ne operates, tt too
majority opinion ovcr-rldcs his own, ho
waits.
Your near-surgeon prefers not to bo
bothered by the family doctor ho likes
the patient to como without the family
doctor's sanction or knowledge. He al
ways operates, early and often. No mat
ter whether the case Is one legitimately

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Coddling
Is It a good Idea to rub the throat and
chest with alcohol before going out Into
the cold, or Is that what you would call
coddling?
Answer Yes. it Is coddling. Anything
done Just with tho Idea of not "taking
cold" is coddling. As for going out In tho
cold, your physical comfort Is the only
thing to consider. ,
