TOO MUCH TIME SPENT III DAILY DRESSING

Women Hate to Get Up Because of Their Hair, and Men Lie in Bed Rather Than Arise and Shave. Suggestion for a Greek Costume.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. , A certain Frenchman committed . suicide. I "Tired of this eternal dressing and i

undressing." was the message left to the world. This illustrates that pronouncement by Shaw before quoted here that we get tired of everything. And of nothing sooner, also said before, than the thing we like best. Habit is tyrannous. Kverythlng Is a habit and nothing more than dressing. The American, Duncan, brother of the famous Isadora Duncan, the dancer, who, to the scandal of New York and now of Paris, adopted a bastard form of Greek costuming, as did bis wife and little boy, was not far wrong. After a time, like the Frenchman, you feel that you would either never go to bed, or, having got there, never get up. For dressing is such a madness. Only exceeded in general Insanity by the daily shedding of the habiliments of civilization. Think how we are tied up and bound down by the multiplicity of outer wrappings. We skin them off layer by layer at Bight. In the morning we go through the process of shuffling on our uncivilized coll. How many of us lie abed o'mornlngs putting off the evil hour? 8t. Andrews' ticks off the quarter. You remember your resolution made nightly for the past century or two to arise early the next day. You recall how you said you would bound Into the center of the floor at the last stroke of seven. And then you listen for the bell which follows the flnal toll after the penultimate six. You say that the moment the bell tops you'll slip out from between the covers. Suddenly you hear the fifteen minute stroke can it be possible that even has struck, the bell has rung and you are still affectionately em- ' bracing the pillow? You hold a conversation with yourself "Get up get up," you chant to the tunc- of the factory machinery across the street. , "Get up idiot where's your resolution what it it is cold its always cold except when its hot think of the time you waste! "Think of the books you could read In the half hour snatched from eternity each day! "Consider the kind things you could do for your friends Instead of lolling aloft. "Reflect on the walks you could take thereby sidestepping the statute of limitations against weights and measures." In the moments added to your repertoire of activities you could learn language how nice to surprise your friends some day by casually referring to your translation of the sages of the Choctaws and when they call you a wonder and ask you when you did It you carelessly remark oh, odd seconds subtracted from Greenwich time. Then you might learn to sew and do fancy-work in those hiatuses just after dawn now spent Idly dreaming of thousand dollar cheques' floating through the window and curling up Just inside your fingers.

"I'd rather be taken out, stood up against a wall and shot," said Sal, "than learn how to sew." "It certainly would be a more pic-' turcsque spectacle," said the cynic. "It is not well," he went on, "to know how to do too many things." "I agree with you," cried Sal. "Now If I knew how to sew, I'd have to make all my own clothes, and heaven knows who's else. I'd have to darn and. patch and cut andtnatch and lengthen, ad turn up not for me!" vociferated Sal. "I grieve to hear thee making mock 01 the sweet domestic virtues," sadly said the cynic. "Is there a lovlier picture than the fair one seated by the evening lamp weaving the needle in and out fhe while my lord snores peacefully, if unmusically, over the evening paper which she never gets to read until the next morning." "I'm glad to hear you admit she never does," deployed Sal. "Its the truth that households are run for the men when they've read the papers, canned the magazines, looked over the new books, skimmed off the cream the women are permitted a chance at what's left." "There's no use arguing with you, 8arah." said the cynic, "on these matters. Your prejudices are too deeplyseated. Your vision is too permanently oblique. So let us return to the original proposition how tired wet get of everything." "If I had plenty of time I'd talk to the crack o' doom about anything I wanted to," replied Sarah. "This way you have of railroading subjects through you're tired talking about or bout which I have you one better, makes me weary." "Tired there it is tired," reiterated the cynic. "How tired we get of everything. Sometimes, Sarah," grinned the cynic. "I actually believe I get tired of you." "Pooh." tossed Sal. "you can't make me mad. If you get tired of me. consider how weary you make me. There are times," said Sal with a charming mile, "when it would give me real pleasure to see you gently decapitated nd your ears thrown to the populace." "Sal my Sal oh thou blood-thirsty one!" reproached the cynic. "Women get tired of men lots sooner than men do of women," announced . EaL "There are times when a woman cant endure the sight ot a man especially the men in the same house where she lives. I've said before that It drive a woman crazy to have a man sitting round the house. No matter whether she cares anything about him or not. Just to have him on the spot Is irritating." "Oh. yes." said the cynic, "men and

women get tired to nauseation of each other. The truth is men and women don't really care anything about one another. They're only Interested in one another for one reason. When that wears out they seek the society of their own sex. That's why you see men herding together at parties and caucusing at picnics." "Men and women," went on the cynic, "are of a different order 01 creation They have nothing in common. Wom

en are always masquerading with men and men aren't natural with women. They come together through an arrangement, in which they have no part or understanding, made by Nature. Its a false basts and when the glamour is gone, it wabbles miserably "Here we are back on that man and woman mixup," interrupted Sal," I'm tired of that, too." "Now as to clothes," she continued, "its true that women are miserable slaves. Just look at the things we wear!" she exclaimed. "Don't I beg don't destroy any of my bachelor illusions!" cried the cynic. "Pooh." said Sal. "You like to talk about such things. Don't back-pedal with me. The thing that tires a woman out more than anything else is her hair. Now if a woman didn't have to fool with her hair an hour or two in the morning she wouldn't mind dressing as much as she does. Men only have to take a couple of brushes and give their heads a cross-lot lick or two and they look all right. A woman has to comb and brush and twist and screw and get the hand-glass and stand in the proper light and then she isn't sure what she looks like." "On the other hand," said the cynic, "she don't have to shave. Think of getting up and spending an indeterminate period In dallying with the razor a man would rather pin on his hair any day in the week." "But at least he can slip into things be don't have to corkscrew into 'em like women do," said Sal. "Corsets now " "Sarah Sarah! I beg of thee " "Getting into a corset nowadays," went on Sal without noticing, "is as complicated a process as being strapped into the electric chair. After which its fatal to lean over or try to pick up things. You can't lounge or sit with your leg over the arm of a chair as many of my interesting sex do when not on parade. The truth is," said Sal, "that women can't look nice and' still be comfortable." . "If women would only throw the corset Into the discard," ejaculated the cynic, "and give Nature a chance." "And whose fault but the men's" cried Sal. "Is the corsetless, dress-reform female she who receives the attention of the male of the species? Not so you could notice it. Corsetless women are given the grand side step by the masculine fraternity. The real good girl who lets Nature have her way is the girl who sits partnerless against the wall at the parties. While the maiden, buckled and bolstered up by the corsetiere, is surrounded six deep." "That's another thing that makes me tired," ran on Sal. "Men think they know what they want but its mighty different from the thing they really want. What the latter is is 'what every

woman knows.' " "Wouldn't you and I look nice walking down Main street in Greek cos

tumes?" grinned the cynic. "It

wouldn't be nve minutes before they'd have the patrol tracking us to the

curb."

"And the Ministerial Association would denounce us," cried Sal. "The

cloth nor the law give freedom any

encouragement." "Now under a Socialist regime " "Goodbye!" cried Sal, skipping out the door.

Careful Man's Opinion. Business men are careful about what they say it is part of their training. Therefore 'when Mr. J. G.. Clarke, a business man of Westchester, X. Y., answered a question about his greatly improved health his opinion may be considered correct. He said "Having been troubled with a bad cold and bronchitis for nearly a year, I decided to take Vinol a short time ago. The cough has now disappeared and my health is very much improved. "I certainly consider Vinol a valuable remedy and should be kept in every home until people try it they don't know its value." Thousands of other Intelligent people praise Vinol simply because they have found it Just what ther needed

j to drive away lingering coughs and build up their health and strength. Vinol is a delicious cod liver and

iron preparation without oil and is the greatest strength renewer for all who are weak and run down. We guarantee it to give perfect satisfaction. Leo H. Flhe, druggist, Richmond, Ind. MRS. K.

Washington's Etiquatts. Every action in company ought to be some sign of respect to those present. In the presence of others slnjr not to yourself with a bumming noise nor drum with your finders or feet. Speak not when others speak, sit not when others stand and walk not when others stop. Turn not your back to others, especially in speaking. Be no flatterer: neither trifle with any one that does not delight in such familiarities. Read no letters, books or papers in company except when necessary: then ask to be excused. Come not near the books or writing of any one so as to read them unasked Let your countenance be pleasant, but In serious matters somewhat grave.

CHANGING THE SEASONS. " In China It Is Summer When tha Emperor Says It Is. The emperor of China has some strange duties. One of these is the ordering of the seasons. It is summer in America when the sun warms the earth and not nntil then, but in China it is summer when the emperor says It is summer. As soon as the emperor declares that summer has come everybody in China puts off winter clothing and arrays himself in summer garb, no matter what his feelings on the sub

ject may be. All domestic arrange- J

ments are made to suit the season as proclaimed by the emperor, although they may not suit the Individual at all. The nearest approach to the Chinese system of ordering the seasons is the practice observed in France in all public buildings. There it is winter on and after Oct. 1. Fires are then lighted in all government offices, and tha employees exchange their white summer waistcoats for the thicker and darker ones of winter. At that date the public libraries are closed at 4. and In the streets the sellers of toasted chestnuts make their appearance. In official France it is winter, no matter what the weather may say and no matter what unofficial France may think. New York Press.

PAPER MADE BY WASPS.

The Way the Insects Gather Material and Form the Product. Wasps are wonderful papermakers. They make real paper, too. just as truly as human papermakers. A wasp flies to a flower and covers the front of Its Uody with the dust of the blossom. This is moistened and mixed with the wax which Is secreted on the surface of the wasp's body. Then the insect if pairs to an old fence or other piece of weather worn wood that has a loose, fuzzy, fibrous surface. The wasp rubs itself on this fibrous matter just as it did on the dust of the flower, and a layer of such matter adheres to the insect's body and be'comes mingled with wax in the same way. Then away goes the wasp to the nest which it is building, places Itself just on the spot where it wants the layer of paper to He and then works Itself into a heat by a furious motion of the wings, so that the wax is moistened next to the body, when the paper drops off in the right place, where it may be adjusted properly and fastened. The paper of the wasp Is as much paper ns the product of the paper mill Harpers "Weekly.

PUBLICITY IS THE FORCE WHICH MOVES THE WORLD; it is the mental dynamite which uproots ancient traditions, counteracts studied adherence to custom regardless of conditions, and in vests every department of human endeavor with that wide-awake spirit which stands for progress. THE PROFESSIONAL MAN, THE PHYSICIAN AND THE ATTORNEY, for illustrationeach in his own way is justified in calling attention to his mental qualifications and professional equipment, that he may give to the public that quality of service which the latter wants, and the larger his sphere of activity, the greater his value to the community in which he lives. This may be called advertising, but it is truly ethical, because the personal element is kept in the background and the public left ia freedom to judge of individual qualifications without solicitation. -

The manufacturer, the jobbing distributor, the retailer, the artisan, on the other hand, each in his own way and in his own sphere of activity, advertises along different lines. Their offerings are material, not mental; they are tangible in form and substance and may be accepted or rejected by the purchaser, equally as well equipped to judge of value as the seller; hence, the ethical aspect of such advertising lies in a strict adherence to the truth. It is simply serving notice upon those most interested that you are in position to render to them a service or a benefit with which they may not be familiar. There are limitations, however, which naturally apply to each vocation, and beyond which one cannot go without just criticism. Ethical problems cannot, however, be solved by formulating fixed laws applicable to all professions and business enterprises. There are well established rules of conduct which govern their attitude toward the public, and in both instances such rules tend to elevate the moral standard among those who might be actuated by unworthy motives. THERE ARE WORTHY ADVERTISEMENTS, AND THERE ARE MANY MORE WHICH ARE UNRELIABLE. THEIR ETHICAL CHARACTER DEPENDS SOLELY UPON THEIR ADHERENCE TO THE FACTS, AND THEY WILL APPEAL TO THE READER TO THE EXTENT THAT ONLY FALSE OR OVERDRAWN STATEMENTS ARE ELIMINATED AND THE TRUTH ENTHRONED AS THE UNDERLYING, BULING MOTIVE GOVERNING ALL REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY THE ADVERTISER. Diseases Successfully Treated by Our Miods BLADDER AND KIDNEY TROUBLES Are often .caused by excesses alcoholic liquors and severe sickness, the usual symptoms being highly colored secretions, with strong odor, chilly and feverish spells, worn out feeling, puffiness under the eyes and swelling. Our long study and extensive practice in treating Kidney and Bladder Diseases insure success in all cases not past the curative stage. PILES Are small vascular Tumors, and they have a most degrading influence on the general health. We cure Piles without cutting, nor do ligature or injurious injections. Our treatment is safe and painless, causing no detention from business. HYDROCELE Results from injury is something difficult to distinguish from Rupture or Varicocele. The treatment we use for curing Hydrocele completely obliterates the tumor at once, and not a sign or symptom of the disease remains. NERVOUS DEBILITY Means weakness of the nerves and nerve centers. The patient is usually undecided and timid; at times there may be despondency and loss of energy, a feeling that recovery is impossible. Digestion sometimes weak, complexion sickly, unable to endure much exertion. PROSTATIC ENLARGEMENT Results from inflammation and obstructions through the canal. Our special treatment removes the inflammation, reduces the enlargements, and as near a normal condition is resumed consistent with good treatment. Our past record as well as our professional and financial standing is a sufficient guarantee that you will receive honest, faithful and successful treatment.
