Dear Mies Fan-fax: I am M. Mv mother
died when I was 6. I keot houiw for mv
t father, so I-sm-net prepared for the busi
ness world. The time has come when I
must make my own living; the only
thing I can do is to be a cloak and suit
model. My friends sav it Im a dangerous
' position., as there ore too' many tempta
tions connected with it. 1 am at a loss
.what to do.
; The clangers a girl meets tn the business
'world are- grossly exaggerated. If youl
work for a reputable firm and your man--ner
la dignified and worthy of respect
'you will be able to get along on your
' merits. A cloak and stilt model can man
age to be dignified and efficient If she
chooses to. If you find yourself with
4men who will not respect you.' you can
imply resign and seek another position.
When you tenderly peel the wrappings- of tis- ,
ue away from a new frock Just home from the
l!ttle shop, do you ever visualize the last girl
face that bent over It when it was folded la away
irom the light when It started to youT
When you draw It out and spread Its froth
and shimmer out to the light between your
fingers, are there ever, for you, lingering ghosts
of the patient glrl-flngers that; deftly stitched
upon it under night-lights so you might have It
In time? . Perhaps they were just aa white a
pair of hands as yours, and sweeter tn shape.
Who can tell?- Just four fingers and a clever
thump like yours and, thrilling to the touch of
satin and chiffon Just as yours do. Spread out
your hand and think about It.
One girl dark and soft-faced hunched bet
shoulders in their cheap little blouse over the
last shimmering details and catching pink
rose-burls, dewed with a bit of sparkle in each
of their hearts, with tiny stitches thousands of

heart fluttered painfully. For Mademoiselle
wanted her frock for a dance tonight, the
madame bad said. And the gown, passing from
girl to girl, arrived at last to little Tired Shoul-'
ders, with the deft fingers tor finishing. And
her eyes shone and bait shut with the beauty
of the stuff under. her hands.
And girl-eyes and girj-flngers and girl-heart
drew a bit of second-hand thrill out of a frugal '
draught of econd-bnnd Joy seeing in fancy the
lucky tyrl who was to wear the little dream
dress on her way to ber precious dance.
' The brown box that comes to yon holds not
only a holiday frock and pink and white tissue

it; a shimmer that may be the light of girls'
eyes that have labored an4 beamed upon it; Us
rustle, the faint repetition ( tt some beating
heart that bent above it. A box of dreams It

The only cure for Jealousy la common

not be able to get through the streets

would be nothing but a, wailliiR.lace..
Men's heart and women's hearts are
run on different rchedulos.. .Women are
monopolists In love, while men are free

man to be devoHnl to his -wife, to prefer
and admire her above all other women.

Therefore, "ho-rever aKRravatlng It may

account. Nor la if any Indication -that
he la weary of hei. She's still Ms wife,
and Just being a man's wife gives, her a
prestige In his eyeo that no other womnn
possesses.
For this reason If a man is good and
kind and tender to his wlfo she IS wise
If ahe shuts her ryes to the fact tlisl he
Is prone to be a little too soft where a
pretty face Is concerned, and that any
little two by tor debutante with fluffy

Certainly the Jerloua wife does not help

! beyond the present moment which com
placently marries upon nothing In hand
and the uncertain hope that something
will turn up in the future.
, Pew people will pretend to deny that,
aa life goes nowadays, wives, excepting
among the laboring classes, and of the
sort who "worketh willingly with her
hands," ar expensive luxuries.
Bald Thiers: "Moat men contemplate
making some self-denial when they
marry. They think they will give up uoh
and auch expensive pleasures. Later on,
when they discover that they cannot do
so, and at the same time they lack the
means to indulge, they complain that it
la the extravagance of tbelr wives which
causes the Inconvenience." Which wise
saying U applicable to men in other coun
tries besides that of Prance. Officials of
the bankruptcy court estimate that at
family, costly entertainments, ruinous
florists' bills; It is all the fault of the
woman whom "Thou gavest to be with
me." Rash and extravagant speculation
often Is the immediate occasion of finan
cial ruin, but it is the usual plea that
such speculation was entered Into In order
to satisfy the demand of an importunate
wife who wished to vie with hrr richer
neighbors. It would seem as If men
"hardly-ever" wanted the earth, except
ing In order to give It to some woman.
When a man Is possessed of an assured
Income large enough to meet the expenses
of a reasonable menage, he Is entitled to
a wife If he wants one. But mhen any
man alts down to wonder whether the af
fections of the women he professes to
love Is worth, having at a cost of' so
many pounds,' shillings nnd pence, he al
ready ha solved the problem. Unless he
desires her so much that he Is willing to
sacrifice anything else save honor. In
order to win her and can count the loss
gain, he had best love and ride away.
She certainly is not worth the money to
him. Men who discuss the cash value of
wlvea so severely appear to ignore the
value of love and sympathy, of eongenlal
