IS QUERY M'LISS PUTS .Those Gifted With Fatal Fascination, Eminent tWr.iter Tells-Us) Are Always Possessed of as Many Temperaments as Chameleon Has Colors TTOW many women are you? You can't Just be) one any more and set away "with, It. At least you can't from the femlntHla point of view. "When a woman has captivated a man with $. life-tons' fMclnatlon," writes Pllen Key In her feministic tract, "Love and Marriage," "tho occret has. beon that he has, never exhausted her; that she has pot been one, but a thousand." To "be a thousand women In one to ome to the breakfast table every morn. ?f rife for nlgl on to three years, a different creature 'each day, a very difficult achievement for even a woman of su perior capabilities; I should nay. Per fiaps t Is bno of tho- reasons, this dim. cult, why so few men are captivated With llfe-lon; fascinations. ' Though we may hot ngreo with many ef this "new" woman's very radical ideas, aho has hit the nail on the head In her penetration otthlsi secret. All women, however, havo an Inkllnc oML Does not their passlan for now clothes and more jnew clotheS"pV6vo ft? Women dress for men all contentions to the contrary. Few clever women dls retard the Importance of becoming clothes. Though' It might be added, that, by, the same token',' the cleverer the 'woman tho less she should be dependent upon dress to "put across" hor variability. To the woman, iiowever, who has It not In her power "to bVnli thlngrs to all men" clothes are a powerful help. Garbed In a velvet gown, wh6 could not achieve an Impressive- stateliness? And the next day, given tho. aid. of a sports suit and tailored blouse, would it bo very difficult to achieve a complete transforma tion of personality? Add to this cling ing raiment for clinging moods, forbid ding serges and taffetas and brocades for remote whims, tinsel and spangles for the capricious, oclntU'ant frames of mind, dull blacks for Introspective, mcdltatlvo poses, baby blues and pinks and Im maculate whites when one Is feeling very young and foolish, and almost any woman could bo as different as a chame leon. But few womon can afford so com prehenstve a wardrobe, and must, per force, unless they havo naturally baro metrical temperaments to depend upon, content themselves with being Just a few things to one or two men. In the samo book Miss Key tells us that tho most successful women and she thinks the most successful aro those who are most attractive to men have natures which are a combination of Eve's, Mona Lisa's and Delilah's. It would seem, therefore, that to be successful one must bo much of a siren. Delilah was tho queen of temptresses. Indeed, If one wcro facetiously Inclined, one could say she put the tresses In temptresses. At least Samson might hold to that opinion. Tho Mona Lisa lures by tho mystery of her. Her In scrutability Is her chief charm. A riddle Bolvcd is a riddle dono with. Likewise a woman whoso possibilities havo been ex haustcd, whose trial's of speech and temperament are like the open book. Perhaps Eve's fondness for forbidden fruit Is tho reason for her inclusion In Miss Key's triumvirate. Moro than likely, though. It Is her human quality, coupled with the fact that sho typifies mother ltness, being tho mother of the race. Not many women possess the qualifi cations specified by the Swedish feminist. Few combine the mother Instinct with that of the vampire, least of all the new women about whom the modernists are so fond of writing. M'LISS. Letters to the Editor of tho Woman's Page Address alt communications to M'l.lna . Dear WLlss -A recent Inquiry In your column from soma one who u asking uucstlons of jrenealoalcnl Import and your . reply that you would aubralt aamo to a gcnealoslcal friend of youra emboldena ma to write and aak you If you could put ma In touch with the latter. I am at the preaent time enjoying myself hugely In my new hobby traclnc the branchea of ?r family tree. However, being an amateur, am aomettmee at a loaa to know Juat what are tho ueually followed avenuea. I have rotten quite a maos of atuff collected and am now at a atandatlll. dua to a break In the records. I thought perhaps your friend could show me wherein I waa blind. I alao wish to aak her or him Just how much hope an amateur could ever entertain of maklna aucb work a bualneaa. Write on one aide of the paper only. I am afraid that.aurh work la now mostly conducted by firme doing nothing- but thla and having their own oorpa of trained European lnveatlgatora. It would atrlke mo as a thing neceaettatlng aome fame or financial backing before aurccsa could be achieved. I thought per hapa moat direct and definite advice could be gotten tbrough you or through your friend. E. E. C. I do not remember publishing such a query In my department. Perhaps you will give me the date of the paper In which you read It. I have no genealogical friend, un fortunately. Can some of my readers help? MARION HARLAND'S CORNER Glue for Panama Hats WHILE studying abroad I lived with a French family, of which the father was In the wholesale hat business. He gave us all pieces of translucent hard glue and showed us exactly how to block our Pan ama hats. I brought one piece home with me, but have long since used It up and have never since been able to get more. If any other reader can tell me where It may be bought I will gladly give "Reader" direc tions for reblocking, provided she still needs them. MRS. M. B. H. Potato Water as Cleanser I wish to say whenever any of my waists get faded from coat linings I take two or three raw potatoes and cut them into small pieces without peeling. Boll them In cold water. Immerse the whole waist or arti cles In the potato water, holding the faded parts In It until the stain disappears. This is an unfailing remedy, but, of 'course, on white goods. I never tried georgette crepe, but see no reason why It would not work Upon any white material. SELMA K. The Washerwoman's Song" I aee that much la aald In the Corner about "The Washerwoman's Song." It la by Eugene F. Ware, and I piiie It highly. Tot me It laf wnaavnui poem. i imsui kq lorn, luna to find It. but I am willing to hunt for It ahould any one deatre a copy. It la among my treaa urea. So If he or ana will aend a atamped en velope I ahtll mall a copy, MARY A. S. Several copies of the poem in 'duestlon were received in response to a call from another reader. All were distributed among admiring readers. The pathos and fervent religious spirit of the verses commend It to all who have had the privilege of Seeing them. We should be glad to bave yet another copy. Slip or Stone Plant In answer to the query of lone, who asks about stone plants, I have two large 'ones.' They might also be called Ice plants, for they are as cold as Ice the warmest day In summer. I -should be pleased to give, a slip 4 of this curiosity to lone If she will 'answer my letter. MRS. J. T. P. Population Statistics of 1011 Gertrude M. asks what Is the largest city in the world for population and com merce. I give you tho figures, according to an atlas of 1911: London, England, to my knowledge for years Is and always has been the largest city In the world, by a large margin for population. It Is also the leading commercial city and financial cen ter. Greater London has a population of 7,262.963. Paris, France' ranks second for population, which Is 2.888.110. New York :comes third In population, which Is 2,782, 522. As a commercial and financial center, "New York comes next to London. The fig ures for population have, no doubt.

Marriage of Jefferson Davis In an "Abridged History of the Stato of Iowa" is an account written by Clay Dillon of the elopement and marriage of Jefferson Davis to Knox Taylor. Ac cording to Dillon, the elopement was from Prairie du Chlen, where Davis was sta tioned, to Galena, 111 , where they were married by Elijah Charles, Judge of the Probate Court of Jo Daviess County.

TltULT the queerest fashion season Is ushered In with the golden leaves and velvet toques this year. Any style Is dis tinctive, because each gown, coat, hat and suit Is a law unto Itself. The association of women's tailor, or whatever It Is that sets out to define the styles every year, solemnly decreed longer skirts, pannier hips, no hoops and a slimmer silhouette than we had last season. And with true feminine contrariness women set about selecting the fullest, widest skirts they could find and tho most distended of hoops. aianclng through the shops, one sees the most alarming variety of frocks. One house favors frilly, lacy things, with yards and yards of soft tulle and flowers everywhere. Another manufacturer launches the classic simplicity of the Grecian age. with a simple girdle of gold cloth. Long sleeves are seen on evening gowns, on blouses and house frocks. The short slcevo Is an unknown quantity.

Why not select some smart black ball buttons and link them through your bodice from the sailor collar to tho waist In front, and on the cuffs of your blouse? Gray ones with tiny roses on them would also be pretty. A sort white collar tacked on the neckband of your blouse and spreading over the black taffeta would look well. I Bhould not change tho style of the frock If you like It Use a net foundation. I would use chiffon or georgette In self tones on the material you enclose.'
