COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
- THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.
One of the most curious and-:possibly
the most important departures in mod-
ernlife is the fact that for the first time
in human history an element of plain,
practical, common sense is to be intro-
duced into love making.
Heretofore it has been felt that love
throve only on illusions, and so the ex-
periment of subjecting it to the pitliess
light of truth will be watched with much
interest.
In the past, w hen a young man went
acourting he 11 cut dressed in his best,
wearing not only his company clothes,
but his company manners. The gi1-,l
on the other hand, was powdered, and
primped, and crimped out of all every -
day knowing, and they sat and talked of
soulful things, and didn’t find out a bit
more about each other’ s real selves
than if one had been in the Klondike
and the other on the equator.
Neither were conscientiously trying
to. deceive the other, but, all the same,
after they were married there were
many cruel disillusionments.
To the new fad for athletics for wom-
en we owe a change. The girl who
goes out a-wheeling with her beau, and
takes the ram, and sun, and dust, and
wind, and tan, may not be a divinity to
him, like the parlor maiden, but she is
a human gi1l, and he has a chance to
know her, and judge her on that basis.
If she still appears beautiful to him,
and he is still in love with her, she has
nothing to fear from fading good looks,
or wearing curl papers and wrappers
to breakfast.
While if he still appears heroic to
her in knickerbockers and with a. sun-
burnt nose, she may rest satisfied that
her love is founded on a rock that noth-
in g can shake.
Aside from this view of the - subject
is the far more important one ,of char-
acter. A woman’s parlor views of life
may be merely theories that she lacks
the strength and courage to put into
actual practice, and hence are utterly
worthless.
The real way to know a woman is to
go on an outing with her.
be cheerful in the face of difficulties,
and can make allowances for mistakes *
and failures; if she can accept a sub-
stitute for the thing she wants with a
good grace, then, indeed, she is of the
right kind and qualitythat will make
her companionship; a lifelong pleasure
and benefit. .
The woman, on her part, has an
equally good chance to study a man.
She sees him off guard, when he is no
longer trying to be a prince charming.
It is One thing to spring to pick up a
lady’s handkerchief in a parlor. It is
another to stay his pace all day to keep
near a woman who is a poor rider.
That is the real chivalry a woman
may trust to protect her in the days of
sickness and misfortune, and that
would be patient and for-bearing with
her weaknesses.
If a man is mean about little things,
selfish, stingy, haggling, they are little
straws that show which way the wind
blows.

Very ladylike and practical for sum-

tailor gown, which forms an attractive
change from a coat and skirt costume.
The material of this gown is one of the
new French cloths in subdued mixed
color effects. The skirt lined with soft
black. satin, is made perfectly plain. It
has five gores, and is a very desirable
model of 11. simple tailor gown for
general wear. Three and three-quar-
ter yards is the width at the , foot, and
the back breadths of the skirt may be
fitted in deep pleats or gathered, as
preferred.
' The little close-fitting coat,» slightly
double-breasted and opening in front
with abroad tailor collar, is braided
with soutache. It is fastened across
between the braided metifs at the edge.
These motifs are repeated on the collar
and cuffs, as well as at the top of the
