If you have acted in a way that is unwomanly you may have disgusted some bachelor with the sex in general, and he may eschew matri mony because of you. The writer in question would awaken women to a sense of their responsibility in this matter ar>d says that the girls who are ready to accept attentions from . any man, or to flirt without conscience, are doing a great deal of wrong to their sex, and if they have not the required self-respect to behave with dignity they should do so for the sake of the great est good of the greatest number. The girl, the writer says, who is will ing to go to theaters or restaurants alone with Tom, Dick, or Harry is dis gusting the really eligible man who v/onders much and concludes that all girls are alike and care merely for the good time of the moment. Joking aside, there is a good deal of truth in this criticism, for many a woman does turn men against her sex by forwardness, which destroys his il lusions concerning woman. For there are few mon with mothers and sisters- who have not a high opinion of wom en in general and feel much chagrined when they see other women acting In a way to bring the blush of shame to : the rheeks of their sisters, v Anthony Hope has recently written a book which concerns several married couples who seem to have many : troubles, and with each the cause is different But on« j of the stories stands... out r and shows the terrible results which come from the giving- way to temper. i This particular wife finds fault with her husband because she considers him inattentive, and he in turn blames It all upon the terrible fits of anger to '■ which she is subject. "When she is suf- : fering from them she is not responsible for what she does. The husband Is not, perhaps, to be much blamed when he refuses to go home, where he is never certain of his reception, or whether there will be a storm brewing. This tale ends in a tragedy and the ill-tem pered woman picks up her little girl in .a fury of rage, throws her heavily on the floor, cutting her head and injuring her severely.. She always c-omes to her senses .after the fits are over and : is consumed with remorse. This is a very painful story, but-is, after all, a natural one, for, unfortunately, too many wom en allow their tempers to run away with them. Nothing is more fatal to domestic peace. '■ Of course a bad-tempered husband is quite common-and just as bad. ex . cept that a fiendish disposition in a man is not quite the shock it is in a woman;; The woman who forgets > her. i dignity and degenerates into a common j : scold is doing muchvniorS harm than I j she has any idea of, because, as the : writer "above 1 referred to says, she is: bringing down the entire race of wom en with her in, the eyes of any man who • may be.a witness to her tantrums.. Above all, it is unfortunate when a woman gives way to temper before her children. The latter, in the story spok en of, were fearfully afraid of their j mother, and it can readily be Imagined that in a home such as this there are no illusions left for any one. 'And when ; men who are bachelors hear the shrill ; voice of an angry woman in cars or on the street they lose that feeling of ' reverence which many men feel for women, and wish to feel for them The girl who flirts regardless of con sequences, just to see how many con quests she can make, is also doing in calculable injury to her sex. When she really loves a man she may find that he has,no faith in her, knowing of her flirtations, and unhappiness results But the girls who do this sort of thing are legion, 1 hey think that the more strings they have to their bow— and more beaux on their string-the more at- But lhV hey WHI be to the one man. Si hht I- ". ot true if the man is <* the right kind. If he loves her i n the proper way he . will be rather glad than sorry, that she has not been en gaged or had a great many flirtations .But how few,girls think of these things < howevor ViPf a g°Odtime; .they should, •however, stop once in a while to re flect upon whether they are doing any evl,nf mas^ lower-women --In the j ejes ot men. ■■-.-■• '",:'• J— ———- —.' .'•••".•'■'•"■ a Mainly About People ; i a ; .— — : — r~P Dr. H.

Already there is much rebellion over the antiquated ruffled and berib boned evening dresses ■ that - are being forced forward by the importers, for if one may speak the truth, many are far from - pretty.

Mi chael Francis Doyle, of Philadelphia, representing the sewing women, called on the president today and informed him that his orders had not been heeded; that only a part of the work had been restored to the women. He pointed out the making of trousers, which amounts to about $500,000 a year, had been withheld from the women in direct con travention, of the president's orders. The president sent a note to the war department, asking for a report on. the matter and calling attention to the fact that he had directed that the work be given to the women. He Indicated his intention of ascertaining who had violated his instructions and why they had been violated. Working Girls Will Have a Hotel NEW YORK, Nov. 14.— A hotel for working girls and working women will soon be built in this city if the plans now under consideration ar c carried out. Philanthropy «nd'business will combine in thp hotH. Plans have been submitted by an architect involving the expenditure of $300,000. but- several well known men interested in the pro ject think that there win be no diffi culty in raising, whatever money is necessary, because assistance has been offered by mcii prominent in the finan cial world. Toe Jiotel probably will be in the neighborhood of the 4arwe de partment stores on the West side, where many girls'and women are em ployed. Their board at the hotel will be about $3 or *4 a week. Th.-y will have the use of the hotel laundry* when they wish to do up their collars, hand kerchiefs and cuffs and such light ar ticles. There will be a room w« spw ing machirea .a-t their service when they want to do mending. A number of small reception rooms will be on tbe first floor, where the girls may receive friends.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM Heredity cannot be the myth the newest new school of mediolne asserts it to be when it draws . all the way from Oregon's shore to the national capitol a woman whose chief reason for desiring to establish herseW in Washington is that her grandmother and great-grandmother once graced the White house. Mrs. J. Wesley Ladd, of Portland, is a direct-descendant of. the beautiful Emily Donel son, whose two marriages to Andrew Jackson stirred official circles more than a half century ago. She is a great-granddaughter pf the woman for love'of whom President Jackson went about with a chip on his sturdy shoulder that meant trouble for somebody every time it was knocked off, but there is none of the blood of "Old Hickory" in her veins, for her grandmother was a daughter, of Mrs. Jackson's first husband. Mrs. Ladd was brought up by her father the younger Andrew Jackson Donelson. near New Orleans, but at the time of her mar riage was living with her grandparents, Col. and Mrs. R. S. Howard, in the Northwest. She is doing her best to have her millionaire husband named for congress, and hopes soon to hold a place in the official society in which her grandmamma shone. New York and New Orleans are likely the coining winter to have a glimpse of an American girl known throughout Europe as one of the most lavish spenders among the royalties of the world—the Princess of Monaco, who was Miss Heine, of the Crescent City, and who carried to her husband a dot he found more than acceptable. !

Anna Massena d'Essling de Rivoli, recently married to the ambitious young Mar quis of Albufera. looked in vain for the abbreviated waist long regarded as an indispensable adjunct to stays. Instead, they saw stacks of wondrous chemises, each prettier than its, pre decessor, on which nimble fingers plainly had lavished unusual beauty to insure their welcome. As the bride groom is a Bonaparte, a great-great grandson of the Lucien of that name, and as the bride derives her ancestry from several of the oldest families in the imperialist nobility, being a great-grandnieoe of Massena, It may be supposed the lingerie was designed with an eye to the newest fashion. The tuxedo set doubtless will cling to the corset cover for a while, but it must yield in the end —the chemise has come to its own again. v Jests at : royalty's expense— even • good stories on he.
