UflHI Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax Fashions change In women Just as they change in clothes, plays, food and houeefurntehings. % Before the war it was the fashion to be frivolous, extravagant, exclus ive. And a little farther back plain imbecility had a great vogue. Who does not recall the famous "monkey dinner" that occurred in Newport A woman with many mil lions and a frantic impulse to dem onstrate her "originality" borrowed a monkey, trained to the usages of knife and fork, and placed him among her guests at dinner. The dinner was considered a great social success; every one who at tended it was charmed —only the monkey kept his real feelings to him self. This was also the period of foun tain wading. A "society" girl in Bal- j timore jumped into a fountain fully clad, and splashed about. And pres- j ently. all over the country, we had i an eruption of tank and fountain , waders demonstrating their "origi- j nality." .... Then came the reign of the Tedd> bear, and girls carried these tiresome toys about with them, in an effort to be striking and original. Green and Violet Wigs Colored wigs came just before the great war. and with this culminating bit of folly the • original" sex seems j to have waked up to better thing. | Such pitiful efforts to be original have had their day. the war has giv- , s „ women real work and *.*> :hat goes with it.

One glance was apparently suffi cient—to judge by the patience, in dustry, eagerness with which fash ionable women have kept -at work. They have made wonderful discov eries—among them that work, real work, is good. That work well done brings immense satisfaction, some thing deeper and more comfo,rting : than being freakish. They will never go back to folly for folly's sake. The monkey din- j j ner. as a social function, is as dead , as Nero's fiddling. Human service jis beginning to humanize the idle I rich. The war has been a tremendously I educative force. In a couple of j years it has shoved the clock ahead j a century or more in the way of \ progress. For fifty years the suffragists I have been working for social justice to women, brushing away one fool ish prejudice after another. At times it seemed as hopeless as brush- up the sand on the seashore. Grudgingly women were given education, grudgingly they were al lowed to work, grudgingly the law , began to recognize them as people. Then along came the great war and overnight showed them into the place they had been maneuvering to se cure for over half a century. No Longer Sulkily Endured Women are no longer sulkily en i dured in industry. They are'wel ■ corned, besought, told that it is their ' patriotic duty to fill the gaps left vacant by the fighters. We hear no i ' more of that well-born stencil: ! •'Women's place is home." Even the most reactionary of men ' whose chief claim to distinction is that they ha.ve not changed their minds in fifty years have quit say- j ing that. One does not hear it any longer i in Congress, not even in the Senate. And having been brought up on it, j I am conscious of a strange sense j of loss. It is almost as if the par- j rot had died. The war has speeded up evolution for women, tremendously. In the flashing of sword great power has come to them and they are taking it in a clear-eyed, responsible way that is highly gratifying. Political equality is practically won, no one doubts —not even the Senator who announced a day or two ago "that he knew what the women wanted better than they did." Such utterances, like the monkey dinner, the violet wig and tank wading, belong to the buffooners of , yesterday. To-day sicence recog ; nizes them under the head of "In I feriority Compensations." LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DI By MRS. WILSON WOODROW Once the son of a family that I knew went off to seek an "eddica j tion" and after a lapse of years re j turned as a full-fledged college pro | fessor. i He was typical, even archetypic ! al, good enough to serve as a car | toon. He had cultivated a straggly | beard and a case of chronic dyspep ! sia, wore owl-like, horn-rimmed spectacles and walked with slow aloofness, absorbed in mighty mus ings. Those who remembered him as a snub-nosed, freckle-faced boy. gen erally regarded as "not quite all there."stared amazed at . his evolu tion. Some of the more ribald mocked, it is true, at £is preten tious mannerisms, but for th most part he was accepted as a superior being, an exponent and apostle of the great god Culture. The Woman's Club fawned upon him. The superintendent of schools, a clergyman or so. and one or two bookish lawyers formed themselves into a sort of Pretorian Guard about ; his person to protect him from con i tact with the rude and vulgar. The efforts of his family to rise ! to the exalted and rarefied plane where he existed were almost piti ful. Their attitude was very much , that of a flock of barnyard fowls I who have found an eaglet hatched , out among them and who c4n only ' gaze at its soaring flights in stunned admiration. Nevertheless, they tried to be worthy of him. I I remember on one occasion he i was discoursing patronizingly to me on some artistic question and made a reference to Bastien !e Page. His cousin, an estimable girl—worth ten of him any day in the week —was listening raptly to him, but at this point she so far forgot herself as to interrupt. He turned to her with a look of almost uncomprenending wonder. To him it seemed incredible, little short of a crime, that any one should be ignorant of Bastien Le Page. Then gazing at her in stern rebuke, he murmured witheringly: "Bawstein Le Pawge was a heav en-born genius!" How faraway and different seem those times when people regarded it as vitally important to be familiar ; with this or that phase of literature and art, when long, hair-splitting discussions upon such subjects were i the order of the day, and the High- Brow sat in the seat of authority. The war has changed all that. DailyJ)ot Puzzle ! u ' *. SI 25 ' • a, S • Sa 21* 3 4. * ! ffl# 5.- S * • 19 A. • 3£ to ? a b .v: * •• .l' *4o ••• ? y is jV • A ,<7 " .44. j. 44 <?

UXRRISBTIRG TELEGRAPH It has brought us back to old stand ards and to simple, elemental prin ciples. Even that college professor— solemn prig though he was is thinking to-day. I doubt not, is things more essential than the in fluence of Ibsen upon the drama, or the effect of the Futurists upon artistic ideals. Not that I would imitate the Moslem conqueror who ordered the destruction of the library at Alex andria. or wipe out from the minds | of men, if that were possible, even the least of the achievements which have been made in the way of creative art, or of helpful criticism. ; The High-Brow, too, has his place: and his function. But the things! which occupy him are the ornaments of life, not the necessities. The war has brought home to us all what the real necessities are. and has regroup ed our ideas of value. In the presence I of the tremendously big, we can no j longer attach inordinate importance j to the comparative little. We want culture, yes. But the best' culture, as Walt Whitman says, will always be that of the manly and' courageous instincts, and loving per ceptions, %nd of self-respect ••aiming! to form over this continent an • idiocracy of universalism which. I true child of America, will recruit to| her myriads of offspring, able, nat-1 ural perceptive, tolerant, devout be-i lievers in her—America —and with ; some definite instinct why and for what she has arisen." And that is the culture which is> i sweeping over America to-day, and ' .from America is spreading out all' over the world, chasing away, like "Kultur" and with it all the dachs hund's little Neitzchian fleas, which "Culture" tried so hard to trans plant to this side of the ocean, and failed. In one of our earlier cynical and | supercilious periods, a learned law- I yer of his day stigmatized the self evident truths of the Declaration of Independence as "glittering general ities," to which Emerson replied: "They do glitter; they have right to glitter." And to-day they are glittering as never before—glitter ing as a guiding star for all man kind. Culture? to quote Whitman again: ! "You can cultivate corn and roses' and orchards: but who shall culti-; vate the mountain peaks, the ocean 1 and the tumbling gorgeousness of j the clouds?" "The Americans," he says also, "of all nations at any time upon the earth have probably the fullest poetical nature; for the United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem."

Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX SEI.F-CEVTKRED DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am an attractive girl, well man nered, have a fair education, a lov able disposition, and am sympathetic. Don't think for a moment that I am conceited, for the above description is the truth, but you would think that a girl who has as many assets as I have, should be able to attract atten tion from all people. All of my girl friends adore me, and think me the sweetest girl they know, and also all of the old folks, all friends of mine, adore me, but, I cannot draw the at tention of a young Romeo. Perhaps 1 am romantically inclined (I am 18), but the only men who like me are the homely ones. There is one young man who loves me, but I fio not love him because he is not the man I always thought I would sometime love. When I meet a handsome man he never gives me another thought, but its vice versa with a homely one. Sometimes I be come so despondent, that I look at myself in the mirror to see if I can find some fault with myself. My broth ers tell me that they envy the man I will sometime marry because he will get such a sweet, loving wife, but this does not help me. Please tell me what the trouble can be. H. H. S. Dear me, what a paragon of all the virtues you must be! How can every one fall to worship a girl who thinks so very well of herself in or out of the mirror?. The trouble is that you are self-centered. BE GESiEROI'S DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I know a young man Ave years my senior, who has expressed both verb, ally and in his mail to me that he loves me dearly. He is a soldier-boy, and has been in camp for some time, for he enlisted when the war broke out. Recently, before he was to leave for France, his mother called on me ! and requested me te accompany her to the fort, in order to say good-by," which I very readily dIH, thereby neglecting my work and placing my self in a position to lose my situation, for I am a private secretary and was only at my position about two weeks at the tint*. It so happened, however, that he was not sent over as Jie ex pected, and wrote me to that effect, stating that if he obtained a pass he would surely visit me. He did ob tain a pass and I awaited him all that ' evening, but he did not call. The following day I received an apology with an explanation, that when he was on his way to my home he met two pals, thereby leaving him no time to see me. Don't you think. I Miss Fairfax, that if he really cared j for me he would not put two pals be- I fore seeing me, or that he could have | at least called me on the phone and no't spoil my evening? He expects to i leave for "over there" at any moment 1 now. Do you think I ought to forgive him or that he is worthy of consid eration? CONSTANT READER. Have vou ever hearl the old adage: "In all love affairs there is one who kisses, And one who turns the cheek?" In this case you seem to be more generous and kindly, more un selfish and devoted than your lover. But he is a soldier enlisted in the service of his country, and surely you will not hesitate to sacrifice an even ing at home for a boy who has gone bravely to the war in defense, of you and his mother and all the other wo men of our country. Forget the little incident; his great experience will probably purge his character of its weakness. Continue your friendship with his mother and give him all the brave, warm cheer and encouragement you have in your power to offer. A SXOB DEAR MISS FAIRFAX. I am 16 and am considered good looking and can converse well. I am working as bookkeeper and typist at ipresent in a downtown office, making sl4 per week. I am under the impression that well as the rich girl is, I am a daughter of God, just as well as the rich girl is. I am not poor, but at the same time I am not rich. We (our family) have enough to eat an* clothe our selves. but we haven't enough to have anything luxurious. It is always my wish to meet some rich young boys and girls. Now please tell me how I can do this. I have one rich uncle, and he thinks he Is different because he has more money. K. Your trouble is easy to diagnose. You are a snob! Of course, you are a daughter of God as wejl as are the wealthy, but so are the other people in moderate circumstances away from whom you wish to climb. Suppose you work, work hard, try to Improve yourself and to learn to love beauty and character Instead of money. Com t ing in contact with rich people won't bring you one thing, because Just now you can only attract secondrate, medi ocre people. Mfike yourself first class. Study and improve your mind. Do a' bit of war work. Try to get on in 1 your office and don't condemn your ' self to the ugly poverty of ignorance and snobbery. : FEET WOULD SWELL [! : "Kidneys and Stom ach Were Out of Order," i. * says Mrs. S.

SIMPLE WALL PAPER CLEANER The following suggestion appears in the August Woman's Home Com panion: "Last spring in the house clean ing season it occurred to me, in cleaning my wall paper, that rubber is the best eraser: so I tried one of the red rubber sponges such as may be had for a dime at any five and ten cent store. It worked like magic, and in addition to leaving no streaks or sticky rolls on the paper, it requires no kneading and is always ready for use; the dry sponge crumbs can be taken up quickly with the vacuum cleaner or brushed with a broom, and they will not stick to the floors or tramp into rugs.
