WOMEN NO LONGER PEAR
. SHADES OF NIGHT, SAYS M'LISS
Number of Unaccompanied Damsels on Streets
After Dark Indicates Small Demand for
Protective Masculine Arm.
AREN'T there enough men lo bo around, or la that mysterious antagonism said
TXto exist between the sexes becoming tnoro pronounced?
I don't know what the answer Is, but I do know that the number of women
who go forth Into the streets at night, either alone or with other skirted com
panions, Is growing noticeably large.
The time was when n woman counted It a misfortune, Indeed, to have lo
brave the uncertainties of out-of-doors after the shades of night had fallen if
she didn't have n masculine arm to cling to. Sometimes she did go out alone.
to a friend's house or to n lecture, but there was nlways the solf-saet Hieing
father, brother or other ninte relative who camo at the appointed hour to rail
for her. If she was Inadvertently detained anywhere nnd had to come homo
atone, after dark, her stoutest hat-pin was counted nt the best substitute for the
more pacific masculine arm. And every Innocent shadow or rustle of a leaf
back of lief set her heart pounding nnd jrelatlned her ncives.
Cut look at them now! Illevcn o'clock, midnight, 1 o'clock. ou ran sen
them, head up, chest erect, swinging along fearlesslj. Their attitude is almout
indlcntlvo of n prcfeienco for solitude or the companionship of their own sex
rather than for nny mere male.
And yet, though tho policing of big cities und the lighting of them has
obviated the necessity for masculine protection, I do not believe that there li
any real woman who, other things being equal, would not rather go out with
a man than with a woman.
I do not mean to Infer by this that the many women we see abroad at night,
or In the movies or at tho theatre are of tho unattractive lit ceil In whoso
company men do pot find pleasure. Uut I believe tho day has passed when women
will .sit at home and wait for Invitations. They are some women who "piny"
for them and get them, too, for few men are a match for a woman when she
really wants n thing but there are other women to whom this form of batting
Is either distasteful or too much trouble.
Aa Bernard Shaw would put It, the "life force" Is not strong within them,
or Is, perhaps, dormant. They wish to be sought after, not to seek, and that
egetating process known as "growing onto a chair" would be more desirable to
thfem than continually Inviting men to go places.
Fortunately for the modern woman "growing onto n chair" Is becoming a
more or less obsolete way of spending an evening. Tho economic Independence
of woman, whose pay envelope Is sometimes twice the size of her brother's, plus
her enlarged capacity for enjoyment due to the widening of her sphere, which
Is no longer bounded by tho kitchen, tho sewing room and the nursery, are
greatly responsible.
She can go out alone without fear
But Is sho nny happier for It? I doubt

Dear M'LIss: Do girls entertain ns
much In the parlor (living room or salon,
whatever you may choose to call It)
as was once the ense. There wn a
time, not far distant, when one could ex
pect a night In and a nlgnt out. Such a
Utopian state. If my obseratlons are cor
rect, exists but lnfreo.ucntl nt present
Life Is but one enbdret after another.
As Sam. the barber, would say: "My af
fection for you cannot be told In words
But, really, you're not company. You're
an expense." Why Is this? J V.
Girls do not entertain their friends at
home as much as they used to marc's thu
pity. It may bo the fault of the girls,
as you Insinuate, but It's my opinion that
the hornets responsible or, perhaps, the
lack of It.
Homes are shrinking, even In this
city of homes. Sister's beau does not
have much chance at the parlor sofa these
days, because more often than not that
charming article known by the more mod
ern cognomen "davenport" or "convertible
couch," serves as the bed for young
brother, who gets restless If guests stay
on after the sandman has come to him.
Hospitality In the old sense of the word
Is virtually Iniposodblo In the cramped
quarters of tod.i. In which the overage
family pursues Its canned housekeep
ing and unless the pater and nintur. to
say nothing of the rest of the family.
ro willing to hide themselves away In '
Kltchennettc, or taKo to the streets,
the daughter of tho house does not have i
a fair opportunity to entertain her call
ers. Then, of course, there Is that other
even more homeless class to he con
sidered the boarding house unfortunates.
Do you not agree with me that a nlcht
spent on the street cars or In tho movies
Is Infinitely preferable to the kind of dl-
vertlssement that the average boarding
house "parlor" has to offer? Perhaps the
very gadabouts that you crltlclso are, In
their secret souls, yearning to stay In.
Dear M'LIss In the Travelers' Hallway
BE CAREFUL TO MAKE PROPER
SELECTION OF YOUR ARCH PROPS
By WILLIAI
READY-MADK arch supporters of vari
ous kinds are urged upon customers
by unscrupulous shoe dealers, net because
the dealers have the necessary skill to
advise treatment for foot troubles, but
because the traffic Is so very profitable.
One would not permit a clothing mer
chant to advise one to wear a spinal
brace, yet the'tallor knows fully as much
about the treatment of, spinal troubles as
the shoe dealer knows about the treat
ment of foot troubles. In one aggressive
tore an "orthopractlc" soecialist la em
ployed, and his employer announces that
the young gentleman Is a 'graduate." The
young gentleman recently showed us his
"diploma." He also showed us htj
"course of study" whleh consisted of six
"lessons," or rather six lectures, all of
which could be read In, say, an hour.
Think of that for a while before you sub
mit to shoe-store "treatment" for your
arch trouble.
Alluring statements relative to "painful
feet," "weak ankleB," "broken arches."
"fallen arches," etc., are placed before the
public to attract customers for these ex
pensive appliances. Customers In some
shoe stores are graphically told of the mar
velous cures e.fected by the particular
prop or appliance the dealer wishes to
ell, and perhaps warned of the dis
astrous effects of neglect of an Imaginary
falling of the arch. But perhaps we
speak with bad grace of this kind of
fraud. Some physicians when consulted
by patients suffering with foot trounle
confess themselves Incompetent by saying,
"Get a pair of arch supporters,"
Patients are constantly applying for
treatment who have worn arch props fur
years, trying all the modifications the
hoe clerk could think of, and suffering
all the time. The reason they have been
so long deceived Is that the prop or sup
port seemed to offer considerable relief
When first applied. But this relief was
always temporary, and soon the old
trouble waa as bad or worse than before.
Of course the support weakened the
rpuacles and ligaments, when worn for
several months, and the original weakness
was only exaggerated, so that the lctlm
became a steady customer, a slave to the
prop.
Jn the great majority of rases of actual
arch weakness or flat foot or pronated
foot (the earliest stage of flat foot), arch
supporters are unnecessary and injurious.
The patient requires general treatment,
and scientific advice about the toning up
and development of the weakened mus
cles and ligaments. Massage, certain ex
ercises, and above all. (be adoption of
proper shoes, will give permanent relief if
anything can. In pronounced case noth
ing less than surgery can effect a cure.
To wear an area prop, of any kind im
material whatever, for a prolonged period.
la as wrong as it would be to bind a weak
arm in splits for an Indefinite time and
as disastrous

Season's Silks
Fancy foulard silks are confidently pre
dieted by the fashion arbiters for nirln,-
and summer. These old-fashioned silks
come in a variety or new-fashioned de
signs. The Japanese Influence Is notice
able among the latter. Early In tho win
ter the rage for Japanese figured taffeta
for evening gowns was evident. This Is
rellected in .he new soft foulards, which
feature small bridges, pagodas, Japanese
ladles, fans, etc., in natural and Oriental
colorings. Another very popular design Is
he Chippendali pattern. This comes In
such a striking variety of conventional fig
ures that It would be Impossible to de
scribe them, except to say that they are
charming.
Flowers for Spring
A pretty trimming for the spring eve
ning gown is an extended garland of roses
which starts at the hem of the gown and
continues up the front of the skirt to the
girdle. The flowers are very small, moss
roses or variegated French flowers, with
gilt fruits here and there. The effect is
novel.
Sports Hat
A very good-looking black sailor hat for
sports wear has a crown of alternating
bands of black and white moire ribbon.
A plcot-edged bandeau of emerald green
faille surrounds the crown, and the tamu
is used In facing the rather drooping
brim.

envelope. Miss Mary and Miss Sarah
Jones or Misses Mnry and Sarah Jones.
An enrly icply from you would bo ap

When sending nn Invitation to n family
of friends It Is not good form to say "Mr.
nnd Mrs. Jones and family." An lnvltt-
lion should hi- sent to Mr. nnd Mrs. Jones,
another to the Misses Jones anil ono to
each son. Repeal the name on the lnsldu
envelope, hut not tho address.
If you wish to economize on stamps It
Is coirect to send one Invitation directed
Mr. and Mrs. Joneii, the Misses Jones, and
another to tho .Messrs. Jones.
In both I'ni-es repeat names only on
tho Inside envelope.
2. In this case, two invitations should
lie sent, one to each, as, If there arc other
sisters in the family whom you do mil
know, you would not want to Imlto thoni

however, to Invite the fnmllles of your

ning, when I lenvo to go homo, sho will
uocr kiss mo good-by. Do you think it
is proper for me to keep company with
her or to break up? H. J-
As It Is geneially conceded that a man
engaged to a girl baa tho privilege of kiss
ing her. it seems rather strange that your
fiancee Miouid object. I would have a talk
with her on the subject, as if sho does
not Intend to marry you, It would be bet

tan-striped silk. A inauvo quill encircled
one side nnd roso up to n perky height
at the other.
Tho largo hat Is favored for dressy
wear, although this, like all fashion's
rules, l.s not without exception. Along
filh avonuo ono sees black horsehair and
horsehair lace-trlmmcd sailors, ench one
bigger than tho other.
Ono very different nfternoon hat wns
fashioned of dark blue straw, trimmed
with upstanding loops of lemon faille
ribbon. Those stood straight up nbout fi
Inches In height, all around the high
crown. A band nf old bluo fnlllo ribbon
wns woven In nnd out of the loops, fin
ished off at the front with n cluster of
bluo. pink and yellow silk roses. Tho
color schema was charming.
So mnny women mnko the mistake of
getting thoni!!clo.s accustomed to ono
style of hnt under the Impression that
nothing else becomes them. No stvlo need
ho unbecoming If propel y chocn.
Tho coiffure, too. has a great deal to
do with tho success or failure of the
hut. A smooth. Mmplo coiffure suits the
huge hat. for instance, while, one could
wear all kinds of eurls nnd pufTs plied
up iiiHlde the closely lilted toque. Pnrtril-Iii-tho-mlddlo
hair and n knot nt the nupo
or the neck nro best suited to the garden
hat.
Stitch in Time
It only taken a mlnuto to put n crors
Rtltch Initial on hosiery. linens, handker
chiefs and all the little femlnlno acces
sories which nro likely to get lost In tho
laundering process. April is famous for
its rnlnly days and rainy nights, too.
It would ho n great help to you to
utlllno ono of these nights or afternoons
In niniklng ench nrtlclo In cross-stitch.
Tho initials themselves need not be mnro
thnn an Inch high, aim nro very easily de
signed. , You simply draw tho outllno of
tho initial In double lines nnd then III!
this apneo In with tiny crosses. The red
or bluo thread In which the design Is
worked will hide nil pencil marks or thoy
will como out with the first washing. Ono
girl does this methodically whenover sho
bus spare time, taking tho soiled pieces
out of tho laundry bag as a starting
point.
Well-Kept White Shoes
You can clean white buckskin shoes In
an emergency by taking n good stiff nail
brush and a bar of scouring soap and
applying a stirr lather of the latter. Uriish
tho lather thoroughly Into tho nap, of tho
shoes, and. when they are quite dry
brush off. They will look llko new
