is
worth onr hostess' hospitality l
Married women give dinner parties
or dances or entertain plrls from out
of town. Of course, they jilut must
havo some olislblc men on hand. What
matter if Mr. Handsome or l'crcy
Pompadour did oat Mrs. Smith's din
ners nil last season, mid never showed
her the least little courtcsv in return,
sbe can't leave the slrl isitor to pliic
nlonc, or be bored with a lot of mar
lied men. And so once more the imi
tation so forth and the bachelors re
flect. "She cannot get along without
we!"
Married couples repay Micial obliga
tions. So do girls. If dinners or auto
mobile trips or theatre parties nre
given by one couple, or one debutante,
itt courc the ones who urc entertained
i-oon plan a definite function In order
to feel that they havo not "sponged,"
but have been equally generous.
Uut do the individual men of the
party do anything like this? They do
not! Not having n home, they cannot
entertain in exactly the same way, per
haps, but, of course, there nre clubs
and hotels and theatres, and, in the
Inst extremity, the gift of flowers or
candy to a hostess i8 a graceful thing
that causes her to feel appreciation
wholly beyond their monetary value.
Why does not some feminine relative
suggest tliis to the selfish, stingy and
fcdf-ccntcred males?
Thou they could bring toys to the
children ; but usually they nre spending
nil their income on themselves. The
Jpunger men take girls to theatres and
dine them, and strain their rewwrrcs to
Rive them good times. Hut thoy arc at
the mating age! It is no credit to a
man in love that ho "rushes" the lady
of his heart, and lavishes gifts upon
her. That is as natural as the brilliant
plumage of the male bird, with which
he struts about to enptivnte the female
bird's eye and nfTection. We nre not
discussing the young man ardently
wooing, but the swarms of hettled
down, unattached men who announce
that they arc "not the marrying kind."
Why shoal 1 they be exempt from
social courtesies and expenses that the
over-burdened benedict is saddled
with? All of us know of single men
who go regularly to week-end partis
in the country, and actually save board
for several days the latter part of each
week. Yet they do not return the hos
pitality in town, btt evidently regard
their company as of such real value
that it pays for meals! Asalu I ask,
is not it sur fault that wc let them
taluo themselves ro highly?
But what can the poor girl do? She
must have escorts and dnnce partners,
and elfish ones, if handsome and well-
dressed and affable, arc better thau

Chauncey Depew Celebrates
CUIAUNCEY M. DKPEW, arch generator of good cheer in the hearts nnd souls
'of humniiM, recently celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday.
For far further back than we can remember, Mr. Depew has been dispensing
optimism, wisdom, sane philosophy and hnpplness as naturally and as generously
as Old Sol himself radiates his beneficent light nnd warmth ; yet he blooms
perennially in the spring a year younger in appearance, in manner nnd in spirit
than he was u twelve-month before.
"The world is a mighty good place to live in, nnd people, take them as
they come, a mighty good sort to live with," Is his conclusion after more than
three and a half score yrars of acthe, Intimate contact with all kinds and condi
tions of pcrhons nnd things.
Eighty-seven yenrs behind him 13 merely a "pusher" toward Mr. Dcpew's
grcn't goal the century mark.
He has enjojed life so much he wants to see more of It, and he has faith
thnt tomorrow will be a little better than today, which In Itself goes a long way
toward making tomorrow happier and sunnier.
"The world needs humor," Mr. Depew said, his blue ejes dancing. "Think
of It," he complained, as n shadow of sadness crept Into his fnce and voice, "on
a recent six weeks' trip, I wns not able to plok up a single funny story. Most
of the world's great humorists Mark Twain, Artcmus Ward, Josh Billings
have gone, and there is no one to take their place. A real funny story thnt
would trael 'round the world and set us laughing for a day would help cure
many of the Ills of mankind. It almost looks like we have forgotten how to
laugh, and there Is no oue to make us. If things get a little more desperate,
I may have to tell a new funny story myself!
"A joung fellow came In today with n list of the world's problems he wanted
me to settle right off," continued Mr. Depew ns his face lightened up again. "I
told him, "No, life's too short.' Nearly everybody asks me which of my birth
days wns the happiest. My answer is, 'the last one,' for It is the sum of all Us
predecessors. The real heeret of health, happiness and longevity is to forget all
the disagreeable things nnd people and all that, nnd remember nnd think only of
the good things, good people, good friends and honorable men you have known.
Thnt bents Professor Elm-tcln's theory of relativity nnd every other theory all
hollow."
Mr. Depew 's proscription for keeping young at 87 or at 187 is classic. It
has become pnrt of the common law of life worth living, and the successful prac
tice of the principles of perpetual youth.
"Keep In touch with the joung." he snjs. "Join In their games. Be a
feature In the dance; romp fastest and turn quickest In tho Virginia reel or the
country dance. (Jo up to the old lollrge and light your pipe, and sing college
songs. Take your children to the thentre nnd howl with them at the roaring
farce, and laugh wtth them nt the comedy, nnd cry with them at the trngedy.
Be their confidant In their love affairs, nnd if they are not equal to It, write
their love letters, nnd neer stop writing some for yourself."
Here's looking ut you, Chauncey. You love the world, which h ono rea
Bon why the world loves you. And everybody wishes you the best of everything,
and everything else you wish yourself.

HARPER COOLEV
Prey on Women
(wo or more generations of girls, some
times going about with the daughters
of former sweethearts. It usually is
taken for granted that each succeeding
generation will jolly them along, nnd
moke them welcome at the family fire
side, or motor them to the local coun
try club, never expecting them to pay
the hills. v
Of course, there aro n few exceptions,
ricre and there we can recall some
kind .old universal beau who arranges
a theatre party once a year, to include
the hostesses and their daughters who
have entertained him throughout the
winter. We think, however, that even
these get off rather cheaply, nt that !
Besides the comparatively harmless
egoists and selfish men, there Is another
class in every metropolis that is prac
tlrally criminal. These unattached men
attend teas, make themselves charming
to lovely young girls or fashionably
dressed matrons nnd follow up the cas
ual introductions with a carefully pre
pared campaign. Usually their inten
tions are dishonorable from every
standpoint. They are amorous sensual
ists sometimes, but always mercenary.
At the first or second little dinner they
discover, to their chagrin, that the
have changed their suit and forgotten
their money, nnd the woman tactfully
and delicately insists on paying the
check.
It may be that this game cannot be
played often on the same woman but
there arc so many other women to fnll
for It ! To our shame be it said, some
times, we may be taken In over nnd over
by the same man and the rnme trick. If
once our confidence is established ; if
once wp nctually believe that he Is com
manding a large salary, but his check
has been lost In the mails or some other
calamity has befallen him we urge, beg
hlra to accept a loan, wording our plen
with utmost finesse.
Other men snort in fury nt these
grafters who prey on the finest qualities
of women their generosity and trust
fulness and credulity yet we refuse to
accept the valuation of the other men.
believing them to be hard-hearted and
lacking understanding.
In all walks of society such men ply
a remunerative and easy trade. There
is no legal redress for the victim, for
the man did not steal, he merely ac
cepted a loan! In the case of well-to-do
widows men prey upon them in endless
ways, beguiling them into fake invest
ments, borrowing thousands of dollars,
even proposing matrimony. Yet when
the woman wakes up to her mistake she
is Involved In some way that would be
embarrassing to the point of social ruin.
Who would dare bravo newspaper pub
licity and ridicule and innuendo? The
man can easily cast light aspersions on
her actual reputation, nnd she is power
less. No one knows better than she
what a FOOL she was ! She loathes htm
as a reptile, but herself more, for being
so gullible.
She swallows her medicine, berates
herself for years, ashamed of her ac
tions that were, after all, as we have
said, often the result vof real virtues,
unselfishness and generosity. Mean
time, the bandit goes scot free, quite
within the law and finds other victims.
I know of one young mnn who
clnlmed Ire had paced the streets In
terrific heat, looking for work, many
days. He was just planning suicide. A
gracious woman gave him ten dollars
and addresses of several prospective em
ployers, i.he next sue heard he had
eloped with a dancer. A very slick man
got fifteen thousand dollars from a middle-aged
widow who was usually
shrewd. She was a fine woman, but
simply believed him honest.

ANXIOUS.
The lady should speak to the receiv

Barry Ntil fj arrested for em
lexxling funis, and JJarrtel. hit wife,
became $he believes in hi innocence,
it determined to prove it to the world.'
Bhe obtains a position with Barry's
firm under a different name, and there
attracts tho attention of Charley
Harmon, the son of the head of the
firm. Thinking that she may learn
something from him, Harriet accepts
a dinner inuirolion, and discovers
soon afterward that Charley is fall
ing in love ir her. One night
Lucy Pratt, an office stenographer,
appears, at Harriet's boarding house
and teams her to leave Charley alone.
A Jew minutes later Charley appears
teith a declaration of love.
A Dangerous Game
"TITIRIAM, don't you care for mc
AVI at nil?"
Harriet was trying to think what to
do. At thnt moment she wns very
near to throwing up the game. It
seemed so useless to try to go on ploy
ing It, for she wns no nearer to making
a discovery of any kind than she had
been in the beginning. Every impulse
In her wns crying out ono thing, to
tell Charley that she hated him, thnt
she never wnntcd to see him again. But
something told her to be enutlous, to
go on for just a little whllo longer. It
was hnrd to give up now, to relinquish
everything when she was virtuolty in
trenched in her position.
"I don't know. How can I tell?" she
faltered.
"You mean I've been too sudden?"
he spoke eagerly.
She nodded, not trusting her voice.
He was exultant now. Harriet's
hesitation meant just one thing to him.
She was shy and he Jind frightened her.
If he had been obnoxious to her she
would have known in a minute. He
drew a long breath.
"That means I may hope, doesn't
it?"
Harriet made no answer, but he was
content. He could afford to wait, tho
reward was worth it. and he hiadc no
effort to press her further that night.
When thcr stood together In the dark
hall, he leaned forward and gathered
both her cold hands in his warm clasp.
"I'll wait as long as you like, don't
worry." he said, comfortingly, nnd it
was saying a great deal for Charley's
nature that he was willing to be pa
tient. He had never waited for anything
in his life. Everything he had wanted
had always been his the minute he had
expressed n wish for it.
He mndc no effort to touch her again
aside from crushing her fingers in his
for n moment, but Harriet felt some
how ns though she were being drawn
Into n web from which she could never
extricate herself. She knew very well
that she was allowing Charley to hope
for something he could never have, but
It was necessary to do that in order to
play for time.
As Harriet turned to go upstairs after
the door had closed upon Charley, a door
In the rear of the hall was opened sud
denly, nnd Mrs. Baxter stood silhouetted
in the light that streamed fr6m the back
parlor.
"is that you. .mss unyior sne
called, nnd Hnrrtet fnncled a disagree
able Inflection in her voice. She won
dered If him had heard anything through
the folding doors that separated the
frofit and back rooms.
"Yes, I'm just going up," she nn
swered. Mrs. Baxter stood still and stared
offer her, as Harriet began to climb the
stairs, but she made no other remark
and Harriet heard the door closed ns
she began the third flight.
If only she pould confide in some one.
No one In the world hnd ever needed
advice so badly as she did, and Barry's
trial was coming up now in a very
few days. She hesitated for n moment
outside of May Wnton's door, but
slinking her head finally turned away.
She must he brave and hope for the
best. Sometimes when everything seemed
darkest a sudden rny of light nppenred
from an unexpected source, and she
must cling to this rather forlorn hope.
But she dreaded going to work the next
day. She dreaded seeing Charley and
the accusing dark eyes of Lucy Pratt.
She tossed for a long time on her
pillow, turning from sldo to side in nn
effort to find n cool spot, and when she
finnlly dropped asleep she dreamed that
Charley had given her a jade necklace,
nnd that Lucy Pratt was mnklng a
terrible fuss in the office about it. She
woke up some time in the night with
the necklace still jumbled up in her
thoughts. Oould Charley have given that
necklace to Lucy? The thought had
suddenly occurred to her for the first
time,

In Defense of Women
Dear Cynthia Woman was created
to bo a type. Each one should havo a
distinct Individuality. The girls of to
day, wo will say tho girls of average
Intelligence, aro unoriginal. They seem
to be sort of a mass production ; In" fact,
they express themselves In terms of
other people's minds, nnd a lacic or re-
other people's minds, nnd a lacic or r
sponslblllty mainly has lod up to th
.untnrtthlA cnnrittlon. Homo Is not.
blllty mainiy naa iou un io mm
a
symbol of principle nnd good citizenship ;
thcro Is no laea oi permwionuu.
And yet man-made Ideas aro respon
sible. The woman beautiful Is glvon first
place of tho women of the world, sho
Ih taught to put the pursuit of pleasure
heforo everything, duo to her worldly
education J'sensatlon Is her only source
nt hnnnlniss. and sho creates a series
of ranldiv succeeding; pieasurea mm
feed her appetite for sensation. Life,
then. Is for hor a series of entertain
ments, and the sensations she experi
ences are never deep or lasting. Girls
of all classes who are not clover enough
to be remarkable copy these pampered
women, who hnve absolutely no Ideals
to consecrate their lives.
Yet now women are free to alter these
conditions. Are they going to stop and
think how to change things for tho bet
ter? I think thev will. For hero women
who have done their duty as citizens or
this glorious Republic will lead, and the
chaotic state of a soctoty that Is tragi
cally Inconsequential will disappear and
tho order of nn older and more cul
tured society will reappear.
Tho old-fashioned order can onlv.
however, lead In so fnr as It Is good.
The pettiness and (snobbishness can't re
turn. How could It, In this modern
world, which has only lately emerged
from a baptism of fire. In which old
fashioned 'deaa were ruthlessly torn
down nnd modern foundations laid which
changed the principles of every man?
The old-fashioned girl will never
wholly return. Her narrow viewpoint
would bora us. Her virtues will return,
nnd that virtue will make this age one
of hopo nnd strength and noble activity.
If we have a kindly understanding nnd
love for every one. CHAIIMIDES.

You Are Contented and Smug Abqut the Little Daily Iie
Ypu Lead You, Grdw Narrow Don't Be Ashamed
j ' of Your Wanderlust j
THE wanderlust is here ngaln
, While spring wH coming on, reach
ing out reluctantly to summer, but
clinging to winter's hand nil the time,
It. was easy to ''stay put."
The one Idea was to get nil the flow
ers out, decide whnt to wear each' day
and provide something to get Into ns
s6on as the warm weather really came
to stay.
But now things arc fettled and that
restless feeling is beginning to make It
self known onccroore.
You pass the station platform nnd see
a much -labeled trunK unloaded from a
wagon, and your thoughts go leaping off
to some far-away place.
Tour car crosses a little river, lying
calmly in the midst of greenness, .turn
ing and .twisting its blue trail through
Hie country. , '
The sun cntehes a gllmpseiof itself
In a tiny ripple on the serene surfnee
and you feel yourself Involuntarily brac
ing against the rlstf and fall of n little
boat that sklras along and takes you
straight. Into the heart of summer.
nh . thflt VAllM otln tn 'lin tli
sturdy little boat right this minute!
YOU get into a train to take your
silly little trip pant dirty slreets,
between factories, through dingy tun
nelfi, close to advertising signs nnd
across another trnck.
And there on.the bridge, hnltcd for a
moment by some signal or other, stands
n long train with many cars nnd n pow
erful engine.,, r
Thcre.Is a diner on that train nnd you
enn see people .sitting at those fnscinaty
Jng'llltle tables, looking out at you as
you flit by, as If you were the Interest
ing object.
No doubt the nnininls nt the Zoo feel
thnt way about sightseers!
There nre sleeping enrs, Pullmans
with little screens In tho windows one
of those observntlnn platforms at the
tali cud of the train.
Wtiat scenes that1 car has cut In half,
whnt romnnce it carries with It, whnt
distance it hns covered, whnt a roving
nnlrlf it arouses!
But your busv little local trnln
whizzes .along as if this were a mere
S resale trnln of cars that it Is leaving
ehlnd nnd pretty soon you arrive nt
your own pretty, homey little station.
YOU feel as if you had stepped down
from one of the planets when your
feet touch tbc commonplace boards of
the platform.
You come down to solid, practical
earth with a dull thud nnd wonder,
after all,' whether it wouldn't be nicer
just to be smug, complacent, satisfied
with your own little lot and life.
But 'It, wouldn't be.
Discontent is not a state of mind to
be cultivated.
But, if you arc content with a narrow
little existence of getting up, doing your
daily work and going back to bed again,
you get narrow; you lose your per
fpcctlvc. To have no long-dcslrcd wish, no
far-distant 'goal. Is to have no pur
pose, no nlm In life.
