The Gentlewoman Receives
airousiy ireaiea
He Finds Her.
By JULIA CHAXDLER 3A?f2.
The woman who U eternally trying to
pick the mote of discourtesy out of her
brother's eyo had better look to the loe
of wood that impairs her own clear vision.
This thought came to me forcibly the
other day while a business woman was
-rigorously protesting asalnst the dlscour-,
tesy of men in the Washington street
cars. We were each hanging to a strap
at thj-time the comment was made to me
and were nearing our destination. When
wo reached the gettlng-off place the
woman who had growled about man's
discourtesy elbowed her way to the door,
trampling on everybody's toes as sb
went, scowling her own displeasure
through the entire length of the car with
out bo much as a "pardon me" to any
one who suffered through her rough hand
Courtesy looms large in pSibllc places.
One will forgive a little rough handling
if he receives it with an accompanying
smile and a word of excuse. Certainly
they got neither from the woman who
so rudely made her way through the
crowded car on the morning of which I
told you, and her conduct brought to my
mind the parable of the mote and the
beam.
I had a seat by a man reputed to be
courteous not long ago In a somewhat
crowded car. A oung woman sot on and
btood hanging to a strap directly In front
of him He went on with his conversa
tion ignoring the fact that she stood and
also that she carried an armful of books.
I looked at him askance, but he still
made no sign, and I felt quite ready to
class him with the seat-grabbing type of
man. when the girl moved further up the
car. and he answered the Inquiry in my
eves with a smile.
Profited by Former Experience.
"I have ridden on the cars with that
girl a good many times." he told me.
"Upon several occasions I have offered
her myjtat, which she took with con
descension and no expression of thanks."
"After all." he went on to say. "It Is
the fanlt of the grasping street car
companies that everybody does not have
a Feat after they have paid their nickel
for It. It Is not right that either a man
or a woman should hang on to the
straps, and there Is certainly no law to
compel a man to relinquish the comfort
able place he has paid1 for to a woman,
except the laws of chivalry and common
courtcsj. a law which every gentleman
recognizes and obeys. When a woman
proves to me, howler, that she does not
take my action in giving her my seat In
a crowded car as one of courtesy, and
acts as though sh were doing me a
tremendous favor by allowing me to hang

HE LEADETH ME.
(Pubbshed t tie requt of Htlen Tires.)
Een tho' the way be dark
His face I cannot see,
ralth cheers me on,
I know He leadeth me
In das of darkest trial.
In nights of deepest grief.
He whispers words of comfort
He sends me sweet relief
He comforts me in sorrow,
I know I'm not alone.
He bids me come to Him for rest
And calls me still His own.
His arm Is never shortened.
His eje is never dim.
When I am sorely tempted
He bids me look to Him.
I try so hard to do what's right
I try and try In vain.
Ho overlooks my errors.
And bids me try again. c
What tho' the night ue dark.
His face I may not see.
Until the glorious morn
Breaks on eternity.
When I Bhall hear His loving voice
His kindly face Til see.
This hope I have, and so Til sing. ,
He ever leadeth me.

Coat lengths.
Few coals are. made longer than half
length, a style the average figure
carry successfully. w
The short woman will find the coat
that Just covers her hips more becoming
than any otner moaei.
The average or medium figure will look
v.ell In the half length, though she can
wear the shorter length If she so pleases.
It should never be longer, however, than
half length.
A -very tall figure should choose the
three-quarter-coat If she would appear
at her best.
How Old Is Your
Hair and Complexion?
("Esther," In Household Helps)
"Tour hair need not be gray to look
old. It adds years to your appearance
if It Is dull, .lifeless, and lusterless. Wash-
in the head gives" that effect. It
Is better to use a dry shampoo, like an
origtnat package of therox mixed with
a cupful of xornnieal. Therox makes
hair grow when everything else fails.
Sprinkle a tcaspoonfnl of the mixture
on your head once a week and brush out
welL It makes the hair light, fluffy,
and clean full of life and luster.
"What woman would not look young
If she had a clear, soft complexion?
Throw away powders and cosmetics If
ou would look young and fair. Make
a. simple lotion by dissolving an original
package of tnayatone In a half-pint of
witch hazel,, and rub gently over the

I looked at the girl to whom he had
refused his aeat. -Some other man who
had had less experience with her had
given her his place, and there she sat
with her legs crossed, and hr feet stick

who pased them would be compeltedvto

"She has no claim to any man's cour
tesy.." I admitted to the man who' had
described to me her former action.
"A gentlewoman alwaya meets with
man's courtesy wherever she goes," said
my companion, thoughtfully.
"No tnatter how crude the man, there
is a spark of chivalry In his breast for
every truly womanly woman. Haven't
jou been through the experience of hav
ing, the most unexpected man give you a
seat In the car, or show you some other
courtesy when jou were In need of It?"
he asked.
I thought of the old men, the III men.
tho worklngman with their palls who had
more frequently dffered me a seat In a
crowded car than the dandy young
whlppersnappers, and I admitted that
my companion was right.
Women Who Dnene Xo Courtesy.
Tq the sort of woman tc whom he re
fused his seaf, I am going to add a few
more types toward whom every man
feels -righteously resentful.
First there Is the woman who sprawls
all over a crowded car and makes no
pretense of moving over a little to ac
commodate a new comer.
Next thtre Is the woman who always
travels about with so many bags and
bundles that she has to set them out In
the aisle where everybody must stumble
or crawl over them In order to make
their egress.
The woman who zigzags her way leis
urely along, getting In the way of evcrj
body else, thinking only of herself and
caring nothing for the hundreds of hurry
ing people behind her. Is due no cour
teous consideration from either man or
woman.
Then there Is the Ill-natured woman
who zlares at everybody who happens to
Jostle her a little. She has the manner
of one owning the whole street car com
pany, and any man who shows her a
courtesy does it DCgruagingiy, uuiu
not do It all all.
If you haprn to belong to the class
represented by any one of the women de
scribed you will do a good service to
jourself and to the "public at large If
jou will take your manners out of their
hiding place where they are rusting
away through disuse and give them, a
vigorous polishing.
HAS HELPED
AIL CLOSETS SHOULD
BE WELL VENTILATED
Few housekeepers realise that the
closet should be well ventilated and that
particular care should be taken that it
Is kept free from close, disagreeable
odors. A small window in the upper
part of the door can easily be cut, and
It this Is provided with small slats Is
hardly noticeable.
Shelves, the Inside of the door, the
walls, and the floor should be washed
with water containing a liberal amount
of violet ammonia, and when this dries
it will leave a faint scent A piece of
strong- white muslin hung against the
walls Is a good protection for the cloth
ing, and under the muslin should be
hung sachets containing lavender or rose

Tig Tarts.
A joung woman, who prides herself on
her ability to copy Irish crochet patterns
and to copy any food recipe after hav

roaung most aeucious good things by
her experiments. At a tea room she be
held fig tarts upon the menu and forth'
with ordered some. When she went home
she proceeded to make' some fig tarts.
She purchased some of tho dry. whole
figs, soaked them thoroughly and added
a little extra sugar. Tart pans were
lined with rich pufT paste and baked a
delicate brown. Then each little tart cup
of pastry was filled with four or five of
the figs, which had meanwhile been al

HO HAPPINESS IN
Han Who Asks It Is a .Cad.
., By nOROTHY DIT.
A young girl writes ma that she U
very much in love with a man who
swears that ha worships her and who Is
urging her to marry him secretly, and she
asks me whether I would advise her to do
so or not.
I can answer that question easily
enough. I would urge that girl by every
thing that she holds sacred, by her every
hope of happiness now and In the future,
not only to be no party to a secret, mar
riage, but to turn the man who has pro
posed ltlo her out of her home and, never
speak to him again. For the man who
seeks to inveigle a girl Into a clandestine
marriage U either a fool or a knave, and
she does well to avoid getting either one
tor a husband.
I know that to an Inexperienced young
girl the idea of a secret marriage has an
alluring air of romance and a fine flavor
of a thrae-volume novel. Did not the
Lady HUdegarde secretly marry, at mid
night, the Duke da Montmorencl. her
hereditary foe, and did she not always
wear his wedding ring around her neck,
hidden In her breast, until he came back
to claim his bride? Did not Nellie, the
beautiful cloak model, secretly wed the
haughty millionaires son, .and, as soon
as his father died. leaving htm a fow
billions, did he not rush, madly to her
side and proclaim her his wife before the
world?
They dld-ln fiction. But, In fact, tho
secret marriage turns out the other way.
The bridegroom generally doesn't come
back. and. In any event, ninety-nine
tlmea out of a hundred there Is a nasty
scandal that the girl's family tries to
hush up by printing a belated marriage
notice In the papers at which the ma
jority -of people shrug tbelr shoulders
cynically and in which they don't believe.
There Is a certain stigma attached to
a secret wedding, and though a woman's
house Is papered with marriage certifi
cates and she is a model of virtue. It Is
a blot on her escutcheon so long as she
lives.
Certain Conventions.
There are certain cnventlons that all
civilized people have agreed upon as the
proper thing o obtain, under certain con
ditions. One of these Is the public mar
riage, and when a decent man asks a de
cent girl to marry him he does It in a
decent way
He publicly proclaims to tho world
that she Is his wife and he is proud of
it. and that he assumes all of the re
sponsibilities of marriage, and that he
means fo live up to them. He doesn't
slink away and marry her secretly,
without the knowledge and consent of
her parents. Therefore, any girl may
well be more than suspicious of what
a man's intentions are regarding her If
he asks her to marry him under the
rose.
When a roan tries to persuade you into
a secret marriage just sit down, little
sister,- and take a good, long think, and
ask yourself why? What good could
come of It? Where do you come In?
tHow is It to end for you?
fascinating stranger, or a man who is
rich, or belongs to a more fashionable
circle In life than you do, and he tells
you that for some reasons, with which
)ou must not bother your pretty little
head, he can t publicly marry you now.
but that you'll be secretly married and
after a-whlle be win come back and get
his darling little wife.
Xot the Honorable Way.
Don't you know that honorable men
don't woo their wives In that vaj, and
that such a man never has the slightest
Intention of doing jou anything but
harm? There Is no earthly reason why
any man who Is twenty-one, and free,
can't proclaim to the world any mar
riage that he Is capable of legally mak
Ing, and the mere fact that he wants to
keep a marriage secret should be warn
ing enough to any girl.
Suppose the man urges a secret mar
riage because he savs he Is too poor to
marry. Will keeping It In secret help
him to make money? Will meeting him
around In queer places do an) thing but
ruin your good name? Just tell such a
man what a cad and coward you think
he is to be willing to sacrifice you for
his own pleasure, ror If he had one drop
of manhood In him he would roll up his
sleeves and work with such energy and
purpose that he wouldn't have to ask
the girl to marry him secretly, but could
do it In the face of the world. And he,
would wait until he could support a wife
before he married her.
Suppose the man pleads with you to
marry him secretly becaute your parents
object to him Just reflect that fathers
and mothers are mighty apt to have a
good reason when they oppose their
daughter's man lng, and that, at least
until jou are of age. -It Is wise to listen
to their counsel.
Practice Economy.

not In use. as even a low flame costs
money. After a pot has begun to boil,
turn down the blaze to the lowest point

TRA VELERS'
GUARDS SAFETY OF WOMEN
By OHI C. BlKnB. .
In order to prelect girls from the ex
filing perilous social conditions and to
stand between them and tho many hands
outstretched to draw them to their ruin,
an effort was made six years ago to
guard the terminals and docks of lew
York through which so many destined to
other parts of tho country pass. SlxtecnJ
great railroad systems discharge pas
sengers continually at seven terminals
!!ery twenty-four hours. Eleven lines of
regular trans-Atlantic steamsnip compa
nies land thousands of parsengers every
year. NInetj- lints of steamship plying
Ixtween TSew TorK City and ports on the
coast of the United 8tates and all over
the world, land thousands more. Of this
never ceasing and ever increasing multi
tude of travelre. many thousands are
young women and girls, both foreign
and American, who need -protection.
Frelnds and relatives often find It Impos
sible to meet them. In such cases the
offer of a stranger who has shown ap
parent Interest and kindness, to escort
the young-traveler to a hotel or board
ing house Is In many cases accepted.
To guard against this danger the Trav
elers' Aid Society, which Is the only non
sectarian society definitely organized to
cover the entire field of travelers" aid
work, provides Information, advice, guld
ance, protection, and aid to all travel
ers who, through Ignorance, Illness, or
other disabilities, are In need of assist
ance. Agents of tne society who speak
different languages meet, aid and con
duct ihn travelers at any time of the day
ror night to their destination In the city
or to trains or stesTns hips to otner points.
This supervision Is continued by notify
ing societies at other terminal points
until the traveler Is known to have reach
ed the proper destination. - .
Sen lee Extends Kverywhere.
The society co-operates with .many
other societies doing travelers' aid work
from New Tork to San Francisco, and
also with travelers' aid organizations In
nine foreign countries. Through these
the society Is notified that a certain Per
son will leave for rew xorK on a speci
fied day nnd tram or boat. The society
then aMumrs the responsimilty ot see
ing that the traveler reaches the proper
stlnation.
Acentx renreseitlnc the society are
constantly In Attendance at the Grand
Central and Pennsylvania stations. While
the Koeletv feels that Its most Impor
tant work Is for young women and girls.

trans-Atlantic steamhlps earning first
and second class passengers (steerage

More than 53.000 persons, representing

examples of those who stand In need of

The society Is not a commercial enter
prise In any sense, and Its services are
free, irrespective of ace. color, creed,
class, or sex. The work Is no longer an
experiment. If even a small percentage
of the large number aided had fallen
Into th bands of an unscrupulous per

How a Woman May
Retain Her Youth
The woman who wants to look joung
must taboo massage creams and liquid
rouge. She will only harden thestruc
ture ot her face and destroy the fine
texture ot the skin." said Mrs. Margaret
Holmes Bates, the welt-known author, to
a Chicago Journal representative.
Reputable phj-sidans have declared
that If she Indulges In artificial methods
she risks loslnz her hcalthX she con
tinued. A perfectly natural 'method of.
ireauac a oaa complexion is oy using
ordinary mercollzed wax. This adds
nothing to the complexion, but removes
It instead. This vax, obtainable at any
drug store. Raxes off the sallow or
blotchy out skin- (n fine Particles, cent-
Ir. without harming thei skin beneath,
which gradually makes its appearance.
The brilliantly beautiful complexion thes
obtained is a new one quite different
from a patqhed-up old complexion. This
is one way to retain youthful, looks. An
ounce, of raercollzed wax is sufficient.
