New York Judge's Decision Thai Woman No , Longer Has Status of Slaves or Chattels a Knockout Blowfor This Individual PEnSONAIAx, I tot very norry for the "dominant mate" Just about now. Ordinarily, I don't havo any sympathy at ail for him. But Just at present h la rt-uemblinp; tha moat pathetic- of all objects, a punctured balloon! , Of course, you know nil about tlio dominant mato by this time, and tho Bad utory of why ho is no longor ontltled to tho ndjectlvo "dominant." No? Well then, tho dominant malo is that species of tho masoullno gentlor who be- , lloyes and has believed slnco the day when Adam was a younjr man. that he Is preeminent in his own household; that tho feminine members of his family unoutq itowtow to him, If not actually and physically, at least mentally. For a long, long time tho dominant malo hasn't boon feeling; as chesty as was his accustomed wont in the nood old days. What with higher education for women, suffrage agitation and tho broader feminism, lie's had a pretty difficult time has this dominant malo retaining his somewhat slippery foothold. Now ho has slipped positively. He's drowning nnd screaming for help, anil there's nary an outstretched hand to rescue him. It was Justice Sucarn, of tho New York Supremo Court, who shoved him off his ancient raft. A most virulent examplo of tho dominant malo, tho Rev. Burton Howard Lee, not content with tho Court's ruling In regard to his children (It had boen decreed that he should havo tho oldest and his wlfo, from Whom he is separated, the youngest, alternating them nt weok-ends), tried to abrogate it nnd keep both of tho children. His crstwhllo wlfo, howovor, behaved in a way that does not spook well for tho brand of discipline exercised by dominant males. Sho took tho matter to court, Tho Judge, too. In rendering n decision, demonstrated that some men have ovolvod from tho dominant mnlo Btnge. In a noteworthy pronouncement ho set usldo tho decision of 1842, giving a father first rights to his children, and declared In favor of tho mother. "Wo havo emerged from the Dark Ages," ho said, "during which married women had tho statu of slaves and chattels." Of courso wo havo emerged. Women havo known It for a long time, but wo havo not had tho law with us. Tho eminent Blackstono outllnod what ho considered tho married woman's proper Htatus when ho declared that woman's very being and legal exlstencu wnH suspended when sho took unto herself a husband. Other decisions havo emphasized tho dominance of tho male. But all that Is done now. Not only havo wo women come to seo tho light, but certain men, like Judge Shourn, have also emerged from the Dark Ages. Strange as it may seem, a woman Is in tho futuro to hnc eijunl rights with a man whore her children aro concerned. Vogue of Simplicity "Wear simple frocks this summer." Thl3 Is tho ndvico that a now organization tho ..tu uil .Made In tho U. S. A. League Is sending broadcast. Tho motlv'o of tho league is to holp tho dyo and textile Industry, but many wlso maidens who caro not for dyos or textiles or tho shortage thereof will give heed nono the less. Simplicity no a stylo keynote Is more than good tasto; It Is good Judgment. The average women If sho could only bo mado to realize It does not look well in fussy things, and It takes a real beauty to wear tho bizarre. The early Greeks, of course, wero the Ilrst to exemplify this, and although wo havo had hundreds of years since that ago to develop a more beautiful fashion, has any mode of any pooplo ever equaled tho Greeks for the charm and beauty of their simplest robes, or any more becoming? Therefore it is expedient as well as philanthropic to adopt tho advice of this league.

Write on one Dear M'LIss Pleaso tell mo about amber beads and whether or not they will really keep a child from having a pore throat. My little girl has a weak throat and a neighbor says an amber necklace Is a sure cure. Can you find out fqr me? MOTHER. Slrico. tho days of the early Romans, u amber has been thought to possess cura tive properties. By friction It becomes strongly electric and this fact. Is largely responsible for tho reputation It has achieved for preventing Boro throat, ton sillitis and even goitre. Perhaps because those children who wear amber necklaces usually go with bared necks, and naturally havo hardier throats on that account, this superstition has gained and held ground. Of course, there Is no scientific Justifica tion for It. Dear M'LIss Will you kindly tell mo how Mrs. Tellcgcn, who was Geraldlno F.irrar, pronounced her last name before she was married? Thanking you, I am. V.J. I am told that she pronounces it with tho accent on the last syllable both of tho "a's" being pronounced like tho "a" In "far."

THE GOOSE STEP ONE GOOD ATTRIBUTE OF MILITARISM ol kUR favorite prescription for auto-In toxication, biliousness, Blmplo nne- , mla, that tired feeling, lack of ambition, incipient obesity and cold hands nnd feet all in one person Is two miles of oxy gen every day, or, in other words, walking to and from work. Individuals engaged in sedentary occu pations indoors are particularly subject to the group of symptoms mentioned, and nine times out of ten these seml-lnvallds don't like to walk and don't know how to walk. They really Imagine a mile Is a long, long way to walk, especially when the weather Is a little too cold, too warm. too wet or too dry. If your work Is JUBt around the corner it Is somewhat difficult to cover the miles rolng and coming. But here is one Way to do it without wasting time running around In circles. Try the gooso step. Everybody knows what tho goose step U from the pictures. It Is a manner of walking with exaggerated extension of the legs. Instead of allowing the leg to swing forward passively and flexed, as In ordi nary walking, you throw It forward with the knee stiffened, so that you really step much higher In the. air than necessary. About 10 goose steps will set your heart sthumplng and make you puff a trifle, It Is so hard. Twenty goose steps will make you pretty tired. Thirty will just about be Y enough for the first offense. Try It some ??"", evening when nobody la watching Just to snudde now. lt coes. scenes, r rfce e003o step Is an antidote for "high "As .tomachs."

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Fattening the Checks Is there any skin food or preparation which one can rub In for the purpose of fattening hollow cheeks or filling out the neck and buut? Answer There Is no such agent known. Certain fats may be absorbed when rub bed Into the skin, but If so they are not deposited locally any more than elsowhero throughout the body. The only way to fatten cheeks, necks or busts Is to fatten the whole body. Tonsils and Glands in Neck I have large and Infected tonsils and haven't the necessary funds to have them removeu.

Felt Initials The latest "kink" In band-embroidered linens, such as towels, napkins, bed spreads sheets, tablecloths and even tho Turkish towels, which some women have taken to decorating of late. Is the felt Initial. Tho Idea Is to supply a padded Initial, like- tho papier macho stylos which have been on tho market for tho last two or three seasons. The felt has been found very practi cal, for there Is no possibility of crack ing, thus Bhowlng a very ugly line be neath the embroidery. They cost 6 to 10 cents, according to size. One woman who had quite a number of articles to embroider did not caro for tho expense of buying the Initials, so she went to a shop nnd bought a couple of yards of heavy white felt and a book of transferable Initials. Now she can havo them in any size or any desired style, without extra expense. She makes en largements for her bedspreads, table cloths, eta, herself and transfers them to the felt .Instead of paying to have It done. Period Hats Second Umpire hats, llko those worn by the Empress Eugenie, are In again. The effect Is Incomparably chlo and demure, a quality which Is qulto In keeping with tho grandmother's frocks which young girls nro wearing Just now. Tho hat In ques tion Is small and sets low upon tho head, with a rolling brim on cither side. Tho trimming Is very slight, consisting of n few wild flowers or velvot streamers at tho back. 11XCI.UHIV13 l(ll.l AND HIL,VKU Embroidery Sueciut deslcne to match the fashion of your garment. j HANI) AND JIACIIINK KMOHOIDEBT J juffnvraaa worK ai iqw pricea.
