HOW THE YOUNG MAN ,
MAY KNOW HE IS
GETTING A GOpD WIFE
Jealousy and Selfishness and Other Unpleasant Traits
May Be Discovered Before Marriage.
By DOROTHY DIX.
The other day we discussed some of
the earmarks by which a girl could tell
what sort of a husband a man would
make before she got him, and In time to
sidestep a bad matrimonial bargain.
it is equally important that a man
should Judge of the kind of a wife that a
girl will make before he has agreed to
stand for her board bill for life.
Matrimony is generally conceded to be
the greatest game of chance in the world,
and the picking out of a life partner Is
believed to be attended with about the
same degree of certainty as locating the
bean In the shell game at a county fair.
To a degree this view of the matter is
true, but it Is only true because both
men and women play the game of mat
rimony with their eyes shut and their
ears stuffed up, and they refuse to take
note of the guide posts that are greeted
along the road to the altar.
In reality matrimony is only a stage of
evolution. It develops whatever is best
or worst In men's and women's natures.
It doesn't give them an entirely new set
of characteristics.
Can De Learned Before Marrlnce.
Whatever a girl is before marriage, she
Is going to be after marriage, only a lit
tle more so, for marriage is a mordant
that sets the color of a woman's nature,
and this enables any man to forecast
with sufficiently reasonable accuracy the
ort of a wife a woman will make from
trie kind of a girl that she Is.
Every man, for instance, prays to be
delivered from a Jealous and nagging
wife, but he looks to his guardian angel
to preserve him instead of depending on
himself.
Tet the matter is absolutely in his
own hands, for a hunchback woman
could easier conceal her deformity than
the green-eyed woman her Jealousy. If,
therefore, you are engaged to a gfrl who
has fits and hysterics every time you
notice another woman, and who can't
accept a reasonable explanation of why
you should have taken some old woman
friend to lunch, or why you walked up
the streei with some good comrade girl
that you work with in the office, why,
son, be warned In time. Break oft your
engagement with that girl before you let
yourself In for a lifetime of misery.
Will Be Constantly Spying;.
She will make the sort of wife that
will keep you In terror all your days
and that you will have to He to and
deceive until you hate her and" have a
contempt for yourself. She will go
through your pockets after you ar9
asleep looking for letters from women,
and sniff at your clothes to see If they
smell of perfume and If tliere is any
poudre de rlz on the lapel of your coat,
and she'll be forever popping into your
office to see what you are doing, and
you won't dare to employ a stenographer
that is under sixty-five and bald and
with false teeth.
Jealousy doesn't develop suddenly, like
appendicitis. It's a chronic complaint that
is constitutional with some women, and
It's an incurable malady. So pass up
the maiden who gives unmistakable signs
that she Is afflicted with it.
Domestic Tyranny.
Every man, likewise, has a horror of
getting a wife who is a domestic tyrant.
And well he may, but it is his own fault
if he does. Just take a good long
squint at Angelina in her own home,
son, and see whether she bosses her
family If she rules the roost and her
mother looks at her before speaking an 4
her little sisters and brothers keep In
the background when she Is about, duck
and run, though you were on the very
steps of the altar, unless you feel that
you wouiu actually enjoy being hen
pecked. The girl that can run her own family
can rur a husband with one hand tied
behind her. In marrying her he hasn't
even got a show for his white alley, and
he will spend the balance of his life eat
ing what she thinks is good for his diges
tion, going to the church she approves
of, visiting her family and friends and
wearing the neckties that she picks out.
"Would Avoid Extravagance,
Every sensible man also desires to
avoid marrying a woman who is extrava
gant and unduly fond of dress. He can
blame nothing but his own stupidity If
he marries one. Every woman wears a
-pried tag on her clothes that proclaims
whether she is a good bargain as a wife
or not. When a man deliberately picks
Gingham dress
The simple gingham dress, which enjoyed so much popularity many
years ago. has made Its appearance again and promises to' be a fash
ionable fad of the approchlnj summer season. y
By the simple gingham dress Is meant those delightfully youthful
frocks which are easily made by ".he home dressmaker, the sort that
come from the tub looklngllke new, to give the wearer that cool, fresh
appearance so charming In effect, but so difficult to secure when the ther
mometer is making leaps and bounds upward. Its foundation Is one of
the fine French or zephyr ginghams In plaids, stripes, or shepherd checks.
Every conceivable color combination le represented, among1 the favorites
being the light blue and white shepherd plaids and the Scotch combina
tions. Embroidery is a favorite trimming. Washable braids are osed,
and often the frocks are trimmed In bias bands of the material, of some
plain material matching a color appearing; prominently in the foundation -fabric.
The girl or woman Inclined to stoutness and, toy the way, the glng
bam frock is quite as suitable for the middle-aged, or even the elderly
woman, as for the girl should avoid plaids and select a. dress pattern
from one of the dainty stripes. Young girls have a preference for ex
tremely large plaids, which require very Uttle trimming, and which stand
the stress of numerous washings without fading.
If a woman is at all clever with the needle she can select a dree
pattern from among the many offered, toeing earful to choose one not too
elaborate. What a comfprt will be the attractive little frock that springs
Into being under her hands,and how she will enjoy telling her friends
about the accomplishment, Such a frock will be enough of a, relief from
the eternal shirt waist and skirt of the city street to znketfc wearer
a mark of approval for admiring' eyes.
out a girl that looks like a living fashion
plate, and that he knows Is dressed far
beyond her means, what "right has he to
complain If. in time, he grows as hump
shouldered trying to pay her bills as her
father did? He had his warning, and ho
refused to take it.
Every man desires a wife who will be
companionable and sympathetic and un
derstand the things tha he does. Are
there not a thousand ways to test out
whether a woman Is broad .and intelligent
or narrow brained and prejudiced before
you are tied to her for life?
I know one wise youth, a man of heart
and soul, who was very much taken with
an extremely pretty girl and on the verge
of popping the question to her. Fortu
nately for him. Just before he took the
fatal step, he invited the girl to go with
him to see a play that swept the whole
gamut of the finer emotions. The man's
heart was wrung with Its pathos, and his
throat choked with the passion of it, but
the girl sat up absolutely untouched and
unmoved, her eyes as dry as at a base-
ballsgame.
The man took her home and simply
dumped her at her front door, and never
went nean her again. "Why, she is a
stick, a stock, a stone," he said to me.
"I would rather" be dead than married to
a woman that couldn't understand a play
like that" '
One Test of a Sendble Girl.
If I were a man I would never marry
any woman until I had been on an ex.
curslon with her, or on a camping ex
pedition. If I found a girl who- could
be as entertaining and agreeable at
breakfasts as she was at dinner; who
looked as neat and attractive in her shirt
waist and skirt as she did in a ball gown;
who could take missing a train, or a
rainy day with good-natured philosophy
Instead of acting as if the misadventure
were a personal grievance: if she was
cheerful, and helpful, and unselfish, and
a good companion, and a good fellow
under all circumstances, I'd keep on that
girl's trail until I persuaded her to marry
me. For I would know that I had her
number, and that It was a winning one
every time. ,
But if she was peevish, and selfish,
and exacting, and didn't know how to do
anything, and expected everybody to wait
on her. she'd never lure me up to the
proposing point, not even If she was as
beautiful as Venus, and was stacked up
to her neck In jold.
Oh, you don't have to be a prophet, nor
the son of a prophet to tell what kind
of a wife a girl make. She carries
her sign about with her. If a man will
only take the trouble to read It.
Lace Severs.
Quite new are the flat rovers of Irish,
Duchesse, or odd linen lace, with a frill
of Valenciennes about two Inches wide
around the edge. On a sheer embroldler
ed batiste with a hint of pale pink in the
flowers was a side frill of the same mi
terlai as the' waist 'reaching well below
the bust. The frill was edged with fine
point de .Paris lace In a wide round
scallop showing a quaint design that
might have been taken from some long
forgotten treasure chest.
For the Summer Girl.
This Is the time of the year when
the woman who can pack a trunk is
very much In demand by the members
of her own family at least. The French
woman always places the dress skirts
In the bottom of the trunk. 'Strips cf
tape fastened along the edge have the
skirts pinned to them with long hat
pints at belt and hem. Underwear is
used for pads in lingerie dresses, and
stockings are rolled and used to stuff
sleeves. Nightgowns and other starched
undercothes are folded as they come
from the laundry. Handkerchiefs, belts,
and so on are placed In labeled boxes.
To Wash a White Linen Parasol.
Editor Wccun'i Pice:
I washed my white linen parasol with
out taking It from the frame. With a
small brush and a dish of warm soapsuds
I scrubbed It while 'open. Then I
poured boiling water through it, finally
rinsing ltwlth cold water. I hung It,
still open, on the line, outdoors, pinning
it by the little strap. When It was dry
It looked as If It had been starched and
Ironed, and was pure white. H. B. W.

Hot Weather Salad.
The next time you are giving a
luncheon, and It turns out to be one
of those extremely hot days, when
nothing tastes Just right, try this
frozen salad, which is a decided novelty.
It Is also good to serve at a heavy din
ner Instead of an ice or frozen punch.
To make It, beat one package of
cream cheese ".with a quarter of a cup
of sweet cream, six finely v chopped
raisins, a little salt, paprika, a dash cf
sugar, a tablespoon of sherry, and a tea
spoon of powdered pecans. Mix well,
turn into a freezer, but do not freeze
hard. Remove In time to mold, then
pack in ice until ready to serve, when it
is to be sliced on lettuce and covered
with mayonnaise. And don't forget
when making iced cocoa, to add about
two tablespoons of coffee, which adds
very much to the flavor.
PICTURE GOWNS FOR.
SUMMER AND FALL
Floral Fabrics Are the Latest Dress Innovation from
the Paris
There are some new fabrics out of
which we are to make picture gowns for
the midsummer and the fall. They are
mentioned In the letters from Paris.
The foundation color of most of them
is a queer old parchment tone, which is
one of the novelties coming back IntorJ
the art of dyeing. This was very popu
lar in Its day, and for decades at t
time It was Ignored or possibly for
gotten.
There Is nothing about it that is artls
tic. The only way to describe it is to say
It looks like old parchment. It has no
stiffness, it does not crinkle or crush, but
it looks as though It "would ripple and
rustle as parchment If one were to shake
it. It Is a dry, ecru, brown tint that
stands for any color that is superimposed
on It.
For Instance, here are the variety of
colors used with it: One design has
bright pink roses, large and small ones,
bedded in quantities of green leaves. In
between the bunches of roses are little
loose groups of blue forget-me-nots. An
other design has bold cerise foliage In
It like wonderful autumn leaves, or the
red of the sumach, and In between these
sprays of leaves are quantities of black
and white berries sprinkled on the sur
face. Possibly the prettiest design shows this
dull parchment color for the foundation
with stiff little bouquets of pink, mauve,
and yellow scattered over the surface.

Designers. ,
Imagine such a gown made in Dolly V-ar-den
fashion, and trimmed with TJunches
of satin flowers and stiff little rosettes!
Whether or not you will be able to find
or able to buy this new material It is in
teresting to know that it is the leader in
the revival of floral fabrics. The figures
in It are a far cry from the bold geome
tric designs of the Egyptian, peasant,
and Byzantine; Its Introduction has been
demure and unannounced by a blare of
trumpets.
However, if one Judges the future by
the past, these floral fabrics will be In
full swing by autumn. We are all be
ginning to see a few of them made up
into good looking frocks, by midsummer
we will see more, .and possibly they will
be strongly advocated in the new things
that will be offered to us in September
for winter.
The manufacturers are never as revo
lutionary as many think. They put out
feelers months before they make up any
thing in quantities.

THINGS MADE OP PAPEE.
Paper Is said to be made from barley,
oats, rice, Indian corn, peas, beans, al
falfa, ramie, pine needles, tobacco, and
cotton stalks, lichens, the leaves and
barks of trees, potatoes, and other equally
strange things, while linen is the ideal
material.
While paper can be made from nearly
anything, nearly everything can be made
from paper. With compressed paper are
made wheels, rails, cannon, horseshoes.
polishers for gems, bicycles and asphalt
ed tubes for gas or electric wires. With
wood pulp and zinc sulphate there has
been an attempt to make bricks for pav
ing, roofing, tile and water pipes.
Telegraph poles made of rolled sheets
of paper are shallow, lighter than wood
and resist the weather well.
It is said that In Japan, clothing, win
dow frames, lanterns, umbrellas, hand
kerchiefs, artificial leather, &c, are made
from paper, while In America coffins, bar
rels, vases, and milk bottles are made
from this handy material. Straw hats
may now be bought Into which not the
least particle of straw enters, but are
mode of narrow paper strips, dyed yellow.
A patent has been obtained for paper
thread to be used In sewing shoes, and
artificial silk Is now made on a basis of
paper pulp.
The uses to which paper may be put
are varied and extensive. It Is used to
make imitation porcelain, for bullets,
shoes, billiard table cloth, salls.for boats,
boards for building. Impermeable bags
for cement and other powdered sub
stances, boats and vessels to hold water.
A paper stove has even been made, while
houses have been built of paper.
In Norway It Is said there is a church
holding 1,000 people built entirely of
paper, even to the belfry.
Homemade Buckles.
When a buckle Is required for a dress
and you don't care to spend a lot on
one try this: Cut out the shape you want
In heavy cardboard. Cover It with the
material of which te dress is made and
then trim it with whatever trimming is
being used.
A pretty one was made of row after
row of beads to match a dress trimmed
with bead fringe. Cover one with lace,
gold tisstle, or anything ornate, and see
what a pretty. Inexpensive ornament for
the back or front of a girdle yu can
have. , i
To Proteot Petticoats.
To protect the ruffles of petticoats
from the inevitable wear and tear, bind
the edge of the outer ruffle with rlck-
rack braid and the dust ruffle with tat
ting braid, which is coarser. Not only
will the lace and lawn be protected from
harm, but the appearance of the ruffle
Itself will be Improved.

the children began to play games all
kinds of fine games. There was pin
the tail on the donkey, which was great
fun; "on the green carpet'r dap in and
clap out and a lot of others. For over
an hour they played, and then Mrs.
Canton announced that the children
wouldall go into the parlor.
During the good time Ruth had al
most forgotten the parlor, andjhow she
shouted with joy with all the children
as the great folding doors were opened.
What do you think?
The parlor had been decorated most
beautifully with all kinds of flowers,,
while in the center of the room therei
stood the most wonderful white table
pf good things you ever saw. There was
ice cream in pretty shaped mojdsj candy,
nuts, sandwiches and fruits, while in
the center of it all lay a wonderful
birthday cake ablaze with candles.
There were ten little lights, one for
each year of Ruth's life.
What a "feast it was 1 -

she was tucked in bed that night
And then Ruth went to sleep and

the automobllists of the city. One of the
most picturesque parts of the park Is
made accessible by te order which was
issued in pursuance of the Commissioners'
policy to Increase the road mileage of
Rock Creek Park.
It would not be surprising if the an
nouncement Is soon made that a merger
of the General Motors, United States
Motors, the Studcbaker Corporation, and
the United States Tire Company has
been formed and backed by the Morgan
Interests. J. Pierpont Morgan, it will be
reoalled, some time ago financed one of
the above named concerns and It has
long beenj understood that he has been
interested in another one of these big
holding companies. These concerns rep
resent a large proportion of the standard
cars on the market to-day and In addi
tion to the automobile plants which they
control they are heavily interested In a
number of parts and accessory houses.
A merger of this kind would mean the
forming of a company with at least a
$500,000,000 capital.
The work of Improving the , Conduit
road is progressing. Between George
town and the-Llttle Falls road It is be

Great Falls the highway Is being treated
to a coat of tarvla. This road is one of
the highways around Washington that is
most frequented by motorists who have
been complaining of the dust and rutty
condition of the highway.
"Washington cannot only stand a law
which will provide a prison sentence for
any one who appropriates to his own use
an automobile that does not belong to
him, but It also needs some adequate traf
flo regulations," , said "Ted" Johnston,
manager of the Bulck Motor Co. yester
day. "Of late there has been a number
of cases In which automobiles have been
stolen from In front of residences as
well as theaters and office buildings. In
nearly every case when the machine has
been-recovered It was found to have suf
fered some Injury. A sentence would un
doubtedly do much to do away with this
form of theft. While enacting that law
they might tack on an amendment In the
nature of a set of adequate traffic regula
tions. As conditions are now a person
