WHO MAKES THE BEST HUSBAND?
By DOROTHY DIX
they should not bo blamed for getting
misfit husbands. Their range of selec
tion is limited to what they can get.
They have to take what is offered
them, instead of the one they might
have preferred. Still, there is a
choice among blessings, and even if a
woman has to pick a husband out of
a limited assortment it is worth while
to exercise care and judgment upon it.
And here's one point for women to
note—all of the qualities that make
a man dazzling to the world, such as
great beauty of face or form, social
talents, cleverness, wit, genius, even
extraordinary financial ability, mili
tate against making him a good hus
band. So the very things that attract
a. woman to a man before marriage
ere the ones that make him undesir-
Hble as a husband.
In choosing: a husband, girls, don't
marry a very handsome man, for if
you do you will always prevent an
invidious contrast to him that people
will remark upon, and beside him you
will seem twice as homely and unat
tractive as you are. Moreover, a
handsome man never admires any
body hut himself; and in a family,
if there is going to be any bouquet
throwing, it should be the woman
who gets the nosegay instead of the
man.
Beware of the Man Who Makes i/ove
to You Too Perfectly
Don't marry a man who makes
love beautifully and romantically.
That is an accomplishment so rare
aDd so fascinating that no man who

possesses it can refrain from prac
ticing it. It's all right as long as you
are the object of it, but after a while
making love to his own wife palls on
a man's taste. He wants something
with more "pep" in it, and he begins
to quote poetry to other women.
There is great safety in a husband
who halts and stumbles in his speech,
and who has to screw his feet around
the rungs of a chair in order to brace
up enough to call a woman "angel
face."
Don't marry a man who is a philan
thropist or who has a mission. All
missions lead a man away from his
own hearthstone, and philanthropy is
too precious a commodity for family
consumption. So far as his wife en-
Joying his society is concerned or get
ting any of his attentions, a man had
as well be addicted to drink as to
causes. Both will keep him out at
night and use up his salary. The men
who are uplifting humanity are gen
erally letting their wives stand off the
butcher. If charity doesn't begin at
home it never gets there.
Don't marry a man who is too
clever, and especially avoid a wit. A
man who is delightful raconteur and
who can tell a good story is the most
charming of acquaintances, and gen
erally the most boring of husbands.
Also, unless a woman is willing to be
the butt of his jokes, she does well
not to marry a humorist. He will
make her faults, her foibles, her mis
takes, her most sacred emotions, the
subject of ridicule: and few women
have a sufficiently well-developed
funny bone to enjoy a good story at
their own expense.
Don't marry a man who thinks he
knows it all. Every woman Is glad
and proud to sit at her husband's feet
for a limited space of time and burn
a reasonable amount of incense be
fore him, but patient Grizelda left few
lineal descendants, and most femin
ists in these days have a petty con
ceit of their own opinions, and like
to air them now and then. The days
of Sir Oracle are gone, and the hen,
as well as the cock, wants to share in
ruling the roost.
Watch Out For Too Fine Sensibilities
—You'll Treat! on Them!
Don't marry a man with too fine
sensibilities, for if you do you are
sure to tread all over them. When
you ask hjm for money you will jar
him with your commercialism. In
times of household stress, when the
cook leaves and the beds are unmade
and the dishes unwashed, the terrible
materialism of domesttclt* will get
upon his nerves. When the baby
howls with the colic, and you are
walking it garbed In bedroom slippers
and a dressing gown, his aesthetic
soul will shiver away from you. The
woman who marries a supersensitive
man spends her life in doing the
chords and trying to protect him from
the hardships of existence; and, while
he accepts her sacrifices, he considers
himself a martyr for having missed
his affinity.
Don't marry a famous man, he
cause he belongs to the world and
not to you. The most that a wife of
a famous man can hope for Is an in
finitesimal portion of his heart, a
fraction of his time, and a small de
gree of his interests. His wife is
merely among those "also present"
in his life. She is not the whole thing
and to read the exploits of your hus
band in the newspapers is poor com
fort compared to having his love,
his tenderness and his every thought
for yourself.
Don't marry a financial wizard. It's
nice of course, to have all the money
you want to spend, but the man
whose whole soul is engrossed In
money-making has neither time nor
thought to give to such small de
tails as making his wife and children
happy.
Many Girls Would Trade Kntire Bank
Accounts For I jive Husbands
A cash register and a bankbook
are cold propositions to espouse, and
many a woman who has them would
be glad enough to exchange them for
a real live, human husband wtthout
a dollar In his pocket.
The best kind of a husband is just
the plain, every-day, good, honest fel
low who thinks that the woman he
marries is aji angel and that he's done
the biggest thing in the world in get
ting her. Such a marriage is not spec
tacular, but it is full of the happi
ness that is all wool and a yard wide
and that stands the wear and tear
of domestic life.
THE LATEST TONIC SKIRT
FORJOUNG GIRLS
A Model That is Adapted to Re
making as Well as to New Frocks
By MAY ~MANTON
8363 Two-Piece Skirt with Tunic for
Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18
years.
This plain circular tunic is apt to be
effective over a skirt of contrasting ma
terial and the greater number of girls
unquestionably will like that treatment,
but there never was a fashion more prac
tical or more adaptable than the tunic
skirt, and this model can be treated in
many different ways. Since the founda
tion is iust a plain two-piece skirt over
which the tunic is arranged, it is easy to
see that it is adapted to remodelling as
well as to the new frock and the autumn
has brought forth so many new and inter
esting materials that it is a simple matter
to find something to harmonize with almost
any costume tnat may need to be re
modelled. There are striped and checked
and various fancy materials while again
silk is combined with wool and silks
Include moir£ and plain effects as well as
plain surfaces. The tunic is made in three
pieces and both it and the skirt can be
closed at the left of the front, where the
edges of the tunic overlap, or at the left
side seam.
For the 16 year size, the skirt will re
quire 2 yds. of material 27, 36, 44 or 50
in. wide: the tunic 2% yds. 27, 2yds. 36,
1 % yds. 44 or 50 in. wide. The width of
the slart at the lower edge is I yd. and
20 in.
The pattern 8263 Is cut in sizes for t6
and 18 years. It will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department of
this paper, on receipt of ten cent*

"And yet, » ,-v your plans i
for him, Lanny. Thcro is another thing |
to consider," she replied, with an ab-1
rapt chsnffA of tone. "But first let us j
leave Feller's quarters. We are In- j
"traders here."
"A man playing deaf; a secret tele- i
phone Installed on our premises with- 1
j out our consent—thlp 1b all 1 know so
far," said Marta, seated opposite '
Lanstron at one end of the circular |
seat in the arbor of Mercury.
"Of course, with our 3,000,000 ,
against their 6,000,000, the Grays will
talc* the offensive," he said. "For us,
the defensive. La Tir is in an angle.
| It does not belong in the permanent
| tactical line of our defenses. Never
theless, there will be hard fighting
here. The Browns will fall back step
, by step, and we mean, with relatively
small cost to ourselves. *o make the
; Grays pay a heavy price for each step
[ —Just as heavy as wo can."
"You need not U3e euphonious j
terms," she said without lifting her
lashee or any movement except a
I quick, nervous gesture of her free
1 hand. "What you mean is that you
! wfll kill ae many as possible of the
! Grays, ien't is? And if you could kill '
[ five for every man you lost, that would ;
be splendid, wouldn't it?"
"I don't think of it as splendid. There
is nothing splendid about war," he ob- j
Jected; "not to me, Marta."
"And after you have made them pay
five to one or ten to one in human 1
lives for the tangent, what then? Go
on! I want to look at war face to face, 1
free of the will-o'-the-wisp glamour that
draws on soldiers."
"We fall back to our first line of de- j
dense, fighting all the time. The Grays ;
occupy La Tir, which will be out of the j
reach of our guns. Your house will ;
no longer be In danger, and we happen
! to know that Westerling means to
make It hie headquarters."
"Our house Westerling's headquar
ters!" she repeated. With a start that 1
brought her up erect, alert, challeng- I
lng, her lashes flickering, she recalled
that Westerling had said at parting
that he should see her if war came.
This corroborated Lanstron's informa
tion. One side wanted a spy In the :
garden; the other a general In the
house. Was she expected to make a
choice? He had ceased to be Lanny.
He personified war. Westerling per
sonified war. "I suppose you have j
; spies under his very nose—in his very |
1 staff offices?" she asked.
"And probably he has in ours," said j
: Lanstron, "though wo do our best to j
' prevent it."
"What a pretty example of trnst
, among civilized nations!" she ex
j claimed. "You say that Westerling,
1 who commands the killing on his side,
1 will be In no danger. And, Lanny, are
| you a person of such distinction in the
' business of killing that you also wlJ' j
be out of danger?"
She did not see, as her eyes poured j
her hot indignation into h:s, that hie :
; maimed hand was twitching or how !
I he bit his lips and flushed before he re- |
' plied:
"Each one goes where he is sent,
link by link, down from the chief of j
staff. Only in this way can you have !
j that solidarity, that harmonious effl- j
I ciency which means victory."
"An autocracy, a tyranny over the j
j lives of all the adult males In countries
i that boast of thi ballot and self-gov- !
erning institutions!" she put in.
"But I hope," he went on, with the 1
quickening pulse and eager smile that '
used to greet a call from Feller to "set |
things going" in their cadet days, "that '
I may take out a squadron of dirigibles.
I After all this spy business, that would !
; be to my taste."
"And If you caught a regiment in i
1 close formation with a shower of I
bombs, that would be positively heav- j
I enly, wouldn't it?" She bent nearer !
to bim. her eyes flaming demand and
, satire.
| "No! War—necessary, horrible, hell- •
! ish!" he replied. Something in her I
j seemed to draw out the brutal truth I
she had asked for in place of euphoni- \
\ ous terms.
"When I became chief of Intelligence
I found that an underground wire had i
! been laid to the castlo from the Eighth !
division headquarters, which will be j
our general headquarters In time •
of war. The purpose was the same as I
! now, but abandoned as-chimerical. All |
that was necessary was to Install the I
instrument, which Feller did. I, too, |
saw the plan as chimerical, yet it v.na |
a chance—the one out of a thousand. f
If It should happen to succeed we j
should play with o_r cards concealed j
and theirs on the t2bl-s.
"The rr~t of Fellor's p~rt you have
guessed already," ho concluded, '"tfou
can see how a deaf, inoffensive old
gardener would hnrdly seem to know
a Gray soldier from a Brown; how it j
might no more occur to Westerling to
•end him away than the family dog or
cat; how he might retain bis quarters '
In the tower; how he could judge the !
atmosphere of the whether elatsd
or depresced, pick up rcraps of conver
sation, and, as a trained officer, know 1
the value of wfctt 1:3 heard and report i
it over the phone to Partow's head- !
quarters."
"But what about the aeroplanes?" |
she asked. "I thought you were to de- !
pend on them fcr scouting."
"We shall use them, but they are
the least tried of all the new re- [
sources," he said. "A Gray aeroplane
may cut a Brov.n aeroplane down be
fore it returns with the news we want.
At most, when the aviator may descend |
low enough for accurate observation j
he can see only what is actually being !
done. Feller would know Westerling's
plans before they were even In the |
first steps of execution. This"—play
ing the thought happily—"this would
be the Ideal arrangement, while our j
planes and dirigibles were kept ow !
, our lines to strike uown theirs. And,
• Marta, that is all," he concluded.
If there Is war, the moment that
; Roller's ruse is discovered he will be
; shot as a spv?" g », e asked.
I "I warned him of that.' said Lan
i stron. "He is a soldier, with a sol
j dler's fatalism. He sees no more dan
der in thie than in commanding a bat
tery in a crisis."
| "Suppose that tfie Grays win? Sup
: pose that La Tir is permanently
; theirs?"
i "They shall not win! They must
not!" Lanstron exclaimed, his tone as
rigid as Westerling's toward her sec
ond prophecy.
) "Yet if they should win and Wester
ling finds that I have been party to
this treachery, as I shall be now that
I am in the secret, think of the posi
tion of my mother and myself!" she
continued. "Has that occurred to you,
a friend. In making our property, our
garden, our neutrality, which is our
only defense, a factor in one of your
plans without our permission?"
Her eyes, blue«black iu appeal and
reproach, revealed the depths of a
wound as they had on the terrace steps
j before luncheon, when he had been
1 apprised of a feeling for him by seeing
it dead under hie blow. The logic of
| the chief of intelligence withered. He
understood how a friendship to her
was, indeed, more sacred than patriotic
: passion. He realized the shame of
what he had done now that he was
I free of professional influences,
j "You are right, Marta!" be replied.
| "It was beastly of me—there is no ex
i cuse."
i He looked around to see an orderly
■ from the nearest military wireless star
' tlon.
"I was told It was urgent, sir," said
the orderly. In excuse for his intrusion,
; as he passed a telegram to Lanstron.
Immediately Lanstron felt the touch
of the paper his features seemed to
take on a mask that concealed hie
thought as he read:
I "Take night express. Come direct
: from station to me. Partow."
This meant that he would be ex
-1 pected at Partow's office at eight the
next morning. He wrote his answer;
: the orderly saluted and departed at a
rapid pace; and then, as a matter of
habit of the same kind that makes
some men wipe their pens when lay
ing them down, he struck a match and
| set fire to one corner of the paper,
! which burned to his fingers' ends be
i fore he tossed the charred remains
j away. Marta Imagined what he would
| be like with the havoc of war raging
around him—all self-possession and
mastery; but actually he was trying to
reassure himself that he ought not to
feel petulant over a holiday cut short.
'T shall have to go at once," he said.
"Marta, If there were to be war very
soon—within a week or two week* —
j hat would be your attitude about Fel-
I ler's remaining?"
"To carry out his plan, you mean?"
"Yes."
Tjere was a perceptible pause on
j her part.
"Let him stay," Bhe answered. "I
shall have time to decide even After
| war begins."
■ "But instantly war begins you must
j gol" he declared urgently.
"You forget a precedent," she re
j minded him. "The Galland women
; have never deserted the Galland
house!"
"I know the precedent. But this
I time the house will be in the thick of
; the fighting."
! "It has been in the thick of the fight
ing before," she said, with a gesture of
Impatience.
"Marta, you will promise not to re
; main?" he urged.
"Isn't that my affair?" she asked,
i "Aren't you willing to leave even that
to me after all you have been telling
i how you are to make a redoubt of our
j lawn, inviting the shells of the enemy
I Into our drawing-room?"
What could lie nay? Only call up
• from the depths the two passions of
| his life In an outburst, with all the
I force of his nature in play.
"I love this soil, my country's soil,
| ours by right—and I love you! I would
J be true to both!"
"Love! What mockery to mention
| that now!" she cried chokingly. "It's
I monstrous!"
"I—I—" He was making an effort
j to keep his nerves under control.
This time the stiffening elbow failed,
j With a lurching abruptness he swung
his right hand around and seized the
j wrist of that trembling, injured hand
' that would not be still. She could not
! fail to noice the movement, and the
! eight was a magic that struck anger
| out of her.
"Lanny, I am hurting you!" she cried
: miserably.
"A little," he said, will finally domi
nant over its servant, and he was
•mlling ae when, half stunned and In
J ugony—and ashamed of the fact—he
had risen from the debris of cloth and
! twisted braces. "It's all right," he con
cluded.
She threw back her arms, her head
. raised, with a certain abandon as if
she would bare her heart.
"Lanny, there have been moments
when I would have liked to fly to
your arms.. There have been moments
when I have had the call that comes to
every woman In answer to a desire.
Yet I was not ready. When I really
go it must bo In a flame, in answer to
your flame!"
"You mean—l—■'
But if the flame were about to burst
I forth she smothered It In the spark.
"And all this has upset me," she
went on incoherenily. "We've both
been cruel without meaning to be, and
we're In the shadow of a nightmare;
and next time you come perhaps all
the war talk will be over aiwi— oh.
this Is enoueh for today!"
