MASCULINE i The .Advantage of J3 Dorothy Dix in New Y Undoubtedly men have most of the advantages of life, Whether this is because, they got in on the ground floor byjbejng created fust, or not. it is impossible to find '.out at thia late J day, but certain it is, from Eden down io now they have retied most of the perquisites! of existence. In work and play they have the best time. Take the first great amusement work-and how the sexes differ in what they get cut cf iii As a mle, men like work and women hate it. Why? . Because the mere difference in en vironment in which the average woman does her work and ?he average mau does his is the difference between drudgery and play. It. is what makes running an automobile a picnic, while running a street oar is day labor; it is what makes a maa willing to pay out money for the privilege of play it-g golf, while he'haa to be hired to dig potatoes, ?< A man's work is,done among his fellow men, where bis eyes are eon stantly diverted by a shifting pano rama and his mind kept excited by new thoughts, new suggestions, new ideas. ? MOBt of woman's work is done sn the home. She sees nothing, day after day, but C-he same old walls, Sbe has no one to talk to hut the baby, and, however much you may love a child, its conversation isn't exciting. She spends her time doing over and over again a dreary and monotonous round of duiies that never vary cooking meals that are eaten as soon as cooked, darning stockings that are'worn, sweeping floors that must be swept again in an hour. She sees few fresh faces.. People do not drop in to tell her good stories, or the latest joke. She bas not even the interest of looking for something new to happen in her business, for nothing ever happens. She works jost as hard as her merchant, cr broker, or lawyer, or editor husband, bat she doesn't get the amusement ont of her occupation that ho do ca. Housekeeping is a most respected pro fession, but it ia- folly t? claim that it io thrilling. Men profess to think that a woman who can ?tay at home' all the time with the children enjoys a perpetual I picnic, but it is observable that the ] pleasure of taking oare of his off spring on the nurse's Sunday out will reduce an able-bodied father to a ner vous wreck ia v single afternoon, and will actually fatigue him more than A week's hard labor at his busi* neBB. Women do not get the same good time out pf their work that men beoause ?0 much of their labor is pur poseless. A mao. Bees things grow under bia hand, A woman rarely ob serves, the result of her labor. A man [feels that he is doing a part in the ?great work of tho world.

Undoubtedly up to now men have, had a monopoly of the fun of work ing. They have known all the tense excitement, the thrills and joys of achievement, and the calm happiness of reaping the rewards of good work Gaeceaafully accomplished, while tho majority of women have worked, and still work, without either praise (or psy. The same conditions apply to seel oty. Here, too, the men have the best cf things. Undoubtedly tad happiest time of tue average wonjan's Ufe is her girl hoed. Ii is the one little golden hour of her existence when the world ',s run for her benefit. j For the time being she la a little I queen, with everybody her loyal sub jeot, anxious to do her bidding, eager j to give her pleasure, sud to burn in cense before her. j ; The memories that a woman keeps j in-lavender until the day of her ' death ali begin with: "When. I was a j girl--" This is tho reason that moth I ers strive r so hard to indulge their ! daughters in their girlhood. But compare even the halcyon pe ried of a woman's life with the same I period of a man's life and how poor it i seems 1 1 To begin with, for a girl to have & good time in society it is neoejeary tb be literally endowed by nature and art, whereas all that is require l of a man is tho mere faot that he is a man. If a girl is ugly, ungraceful, dull and stupid, she is foredoomed to a life of good works, but not of gaiety. She may be estimable, but she won't have any fun. " Galaxies of anxious young men will not brighten up at her approach. She will never be inundated with invita tions to thc theatre, and industrious youths wilt not spend their hard-earn ed dollars on candy and violets for her. Unless she is really, and not affect edly, literary or . piouB-and it is doubf*ul if any amount of piety or literature ever consoled s ag girl for the lack of beaux-the .d of a time that a homely woman ass in her youth is something that no man need j envy her. A man, however, is not dependent upon tho adventitious aide of beauty fn?jgraee for his pleasure. His wel I come in society is not affected by his looks. Ho muy have the figure of a tub, pale, watery blue eyes, with no eyebrows or hair? but.'.that f?ecs sot j hinder women from beaming and; gurgling with delight at bia atten tions. i The human imagination is incap able of th? strain of picturing a simi lar looking woman as trie belle of a ball, but his personal appearance, does not hinder the ugly man from ooming home from the cotillion strung with choioeBt favors, A girl, to be a success in sooioty, has also to be properly launched. She bas to bavd a certain family position and - broking; A mau ia blissfully su perior to this. It is, of course, always convenient to have a family tree some where in tho back yard, but it is by nb'means & necessity, and nothing Ja mors common than to . floe a young man triumphantly careering around in drawing-rooms whose dblVs Srohermet ically. sealed tcbis sisters, whoare in every weyoat as attractive and agreeable as he is. It's a little ridiculous, .but it is un deniably true, tha<> a pair of -, trousers is a combination l ey that unlocks,the best society.

Of course, the girl who ia a beauty and belb and is greatly admired has a good time--the most enviable of all times that can come to a woman, judged by the ordinary feminine standard-but how insignificant even thia is compared to the high old time that the man has in being the ad mirer. For he can pick and ohooso. He r.ctd never be bored. He caa flit from flower to flower; as it were, in haling the fragranoe of each. With a woman the case is far dif ferent. . In the first place she has to wait for somebody to come and ad mire her. She can't go and round up beaux. In the seoond place she has to take the attentions that are offered, and no matter how wearying, or boring or uncongenial a mac's sooioty is to her she dares not send him about his business, for nothing is so fatal to a woman as to get the reputation among mea of being difficult and hard to please. In order not to drive away the one maa whom she enjoys a girl has to go through a regalar inquisition of the company of dull men, and egotis tical men, and cranky men? and senile men, and eallow men. v And this is even more true ic the oase of love, where the mac oac pick out the one woman of all the world, while the woman has to take whatever is offered to her. Certainly, as far as the pleasures of BOO ic ty goes the m?n ha's . a better timo than the woman. In a ohoioe between being a butterfly and the rose anybody would prefer to be the butter fly., .

One of the valiant officer* of the American, navy is Bear Admiral Robley D. Evans, still in tho service. Until reoently he has boen cruiein? in Oriental waters. 8omc years ago, at a dinner given him in New York by a few r.orsonal friends, the Admiral, in telling how he came to go to sea, illustrated what work will do for any ambitious boy. He said: "I was born in a couatry, or a sec tion of this country, where the people woro poor and their sons poorer. Every boy worked, or was supposed to work. "I was a pretty small boy when I took it into my head that it was not healthy for me to work. I thought that to play all the time would just about suit me, and one day I frankly told my father so. I oan well remem ber that at tho moment he said noth ing, but that evening after supper he brought me to his knee and asked: M 'You feel you oughtn't to work?' "I nodded my head. Then he went on: " * Well, I'm going to let you do just what you think is right in the matter, but I only want to say this: The Jails and poorhouses are generally filled with people who wouldn't work when they could. If yon want to be a misery-maker, go ahead; but think it over before you start in that di rection.' "I did think it over. When I was ohoppisg wood or oarryicg water or running errands, the words would come into my head, 'misery-maker,' and I could not get them out, They bothered me so much I told my father one day: " 'I think I'd rather work than make misery.' "'Go ahead,'?was his only oom ment. "I did go ahead. I worked hard at all hours, trying to improve myself, and when I decided that I would iike to be a sailor, and told my people so, the One injunction I got wap: " 'Well, work.' "I found after a time that as I worked I became moro skillful, and being that, I commanded more respeot from my superiors. I learned todo my duty under the law of work, and all my life it has bees tho most help ful and-healthiest law I have known. "Whatever success I. have won has come to me from early conquering of a fear of sensible work, and I ezpeot to keep at work until such time as the God above calls upon me to quit. "Let me tell you, gentlemen, that where you find a hoy who will work, and who does work, yon will find, one that is going to make his mark. We can't all risc to high office, but we oan all rise to the honorable level of being capable and intelligent workers foi ourselves and others."

How Men Chooa? Wives. New theories of unconscious selec tion on the part of man and wife like mating with like-as opposed to Darn io's idea that men and women de pend upou their perceptive and intel lectual faculties in choosing each oth er, were propounded by Prof. Karl Pearson, of University College, Lon don, yesterday, at tho Royal Institu tion. He maintained that man has an un conscious tendenoy to select a wife of his own height, with eyes of his own color, a proportionate span from fore lieger to fc;efi?ger, a forearm corre sponding to hie own, and a Constitu tion ?? like pbysioial vigor. These theories he expounded by means of tables and diagrams. Among every thousand men thc color of the eyes is divided as follows: Blue 303, grcon 312, hazel" 127, brown 94. The eyeB of women aro generally darker, only 280 of them in every thousand having blue one;?. If these the result would be that they would mate at the rate of 104 per 1,000; but he had discovered that the actual blue-eyed discovered that the aotual number of marriages per 1,000 of blue eyed persons was 140, or 36 abovo the random average, thus proving that the blue-eyed man and the blue-eyed woman aro unconsciously attracted to wards one another. In the same way, men with greenish gray or hazel eyes tend to marry women with eyes of like color. Tho average height of a man he gave as from 67 to 68 inohes, and that of a*woman as 62 1-2 inches, and he contended that the average tall man bas a tall wife, and the short man a short wifo. "One could hardly imagine a man choosing a wife by measuring her from forefinger to forefinger," said the professor; yet his diagrams demon strated that as tho span of ono increas ed so did that of tho other. A like result was produced in the measure ment of thousands of forearms, his figures showing that there was a dis tinct tendency on the part cf men with long forearms to marry wives with proportionate long forearms.
