By DOROTHY DIX Man, what would you wish if you could have the thre things you would desire most? Woman, what would you ask? Here Is a very Interesting communica tion, written by a gentleman, who signs himself. "A mere man," who tells whut he thinks he. should wish If he were a beauteous young maiden standing at the wishing stone. He says: I would learn one thing well enough so that I mls'i t be Independent of any one and all men, that I might choose or refuse ono of them for my futur help-mate as I should deem fit. With President Taft I would "wish every woman In the world were so situated that she did not think It necessary for her to marry if she did not want to." And I. would "have the matter so arranged that wo men, when they came to decide to make their choice, should have a full and free choice, and that can only be reached when they are put in a situation where that which they cloose is not a life which they select because it Is better than some that they expect, but a life that they look forward to with unmixed happiness." I would to. be able to so care for my own needs that I might have to call no man master, that even after wed lock he should know that I. being master of my own destiny, would compel a respect for my personal Integrity and Just as much effort on his part to keep my respect for him as when, before, all the giving was in my power and he was the seeker. In other words: I would not be so dependent upon man's strength as to be compelled to marry one of him Just to get a meal ticket. I would to be so situated that I might marry the sort of a man I liked or marry not at all. I would to have as my primal ambi tion and one great thought In life that of making the one man when he had ought and won me and I, by my natural womanly charms, had compelled a free mill offering of his devotion, happy, as lay In my power to do. I would, with this end in view, to make of myself that which would seem a goodly sight In his eyes. I would to care for my body to the best of my knowledge and attainment that I might be a worthy physical mate for such as my Ideal mui must be. f Beware" By GARRET "I se," said a Frenchamn who re aided several year In New Tork, but who lately, to hla great regret (which Is astonishing for ft Frenchman), has been compelled to return to his native land. "I see that rich New Torkers are still raising the wages of French rooks, and import ing them in shoals. Vet me tell you that it is playing wtth fir. The greatness of na tions lies in plain cooking, which in duces fast eating. Your quick lunch la one of the main stays of your na tional power. "Ixok at my countrymen. they close their banks. and practically ar rest all business for S4 hour or two tn the middle of the day, In order that even clerks and porters shall have plenty of time to loiter over a lung 'dejeuner.' They eat half a doscn courses, and drink a bottle of wine, which, by retarding digestion, prolongs the animal pleasure. Then, In many places, they stop fur 'gouter.' and another bottle of wine. In the middle of the afternoon. Finally t.ey wind up the day with a prolonged, din gier and mure wine. "The wine bill of the army exceeds the bread bill. The cook Is the most Im portant member of the staff. The tyranny f French cooking Is the curse of the I would to make of my mind one capable of great understanding to cope with the many things I would havt htm of my dreams to know. I would cultivate a spirit to be worthy of comparison with the one I would have him to possess. 1 would, being Independent, to keep a quiet reserce In my affections of all men, r'en unto being railed staid and dispassionate. But finding the him of my choice, the one who drew unto him self a response from my mind,, my Inner most spirit and my physical being I would to open wide the floodgates of my soul and, stinting not, lavish the pent-up accumulation of a life-time's love and devotion upon him who made of my dreams a reality. I would, having accepted him as such, aid him with all my power, to live up to my Ideal. I would, finding him falling short of tho mark set for him, be charitable, for giving and would encourage him but after a certain point. 1 would again begin to tighten the Strings and to gradually draw up within myself until, finding my Bubble bursted, my Ideal entirely shattered. I had again reached the stage where AU Men were hut a Passing Throng nd I the Ptolld Watcher, secure In the knowledge of lfiy own Strength and Power to control the situation. My reserve would not be such as to ward off advances from those call ing forth an Answering Chord In the Harmony of my Ideals, but would gather Warmth from a repetition of thosi Chords or Kindred Ones. The Pepth of the Response would depend upon the Purity of the Tone and Past Disappoint ments and Experiences would tend to ms.ke that Response slower In coming, but it would gather Strength and Vigor and be finally an hundred-fold greater by reason of any suppression or forced restraint. The One who at last felt the real Power of my Love would know It forever-more, and, keeping It. tender its Equal in return. For no Man, loving less than I, could hold me to Him. My Love would crave a Response, the One Thing given where I would be selfish enough to expect Its Equivalent In return. So says a man, and It's Interesting and significant that if he were a girl he would wish for a liberty and Independence to which only the strongest minded women aspire, not to be a door mat. He doesn't think that if he was a woman he would wish to be a Patient Grlselda, but to have enough backbone to stand up for her own dignity and rights and to demand as good as she glvse. It's an illuminating view of the woman question. Now wiil some woman arise and tell us what she thinks a man ivould ask If hfc had his three best wishes lven him? Perhaps the sexes are beginning to un derstand each other after all. the Cook j P. SERY1S country, robbing it of Its stamina. It wasn't so in the days of the first Na poleon; he gave eight minutes to dinner- good American measure and If he had had American foldiers behind him he could never have been conquered. I solemnly warn you to beware of French ' oks and French dishes. Look what happened to Rome .vhen they began to eut peacocks' tongues ami to Import oriental cooks. As to the talk aheut In digestion. It is all nonsense. Anierkans are longed lived and more vigorous than Frenchmen. When one of my country men, nourished on his endless national dishes, reaches 50 or 0 years, he becomes as gray as a badger, and Is counted out of the cirrles of active life. He Is reck oned, and reckons himself, as good for nothing henceforth escept the pleasure of the table, which he will continue to cultivate to the end of his life, blindly habtening that end with their aid. "I assure you that if America, which eats Its midday meal In ten minutes, were brought Into direct contact with western Europe, which consumes an hour or two for the same purpose, the Old world would go down like a shack before a cyclone. "French cookery Is simply the deifica tion of the stomach. Steer clear of se ductive dishes: let wine and beer alone let whisky alone, too don't allow the ktpmach to become your monarch, and re member that the glory of America resides In her quick brains and her swift mus cles." If the reader detects any paradox In my French friend's remarks he will know how to allow for It, but It aeerna to me that there la a good deal of sound sense In them.

Hy MAIU I. 1IKHBEHT VRNEIt. Now where do you want to go?" de manded Warren, as they emerged from the subway station, where they had Just met. After much persuatlon he had promised to go with her this afternoon to help select a hat. "I tliousht we'ed better go to A s f THt." suggested Helen. "That's very near liere." "All rlcht, come on then, with an air of getting through a disagree able task ss soon as popllie. "Hut I'm not going to be dragged through moio than half a dozen shops-1 can tell you that. "Oh, no, deur; we'll only go to a few places. I'm 5 S" sure wo can find something." Although It wna the middle of Oc tober It was a very warm, sultry after noon. The avenue was crowded with motors, carriages and well groomed people. As Warren walked beside here, Helen was proudly conscious of Ills tall, well- built figure and commanding curriage. There seemed an air of distinction about him that made him stand out above every ono else. ,t the entrance to A 's, Helen paused to Icok at the elaborate display of cos tumes ami millinery. Tho whole window .a trimmed In lavender. All the hats iiul iruwiis were of vliUt ami lavenuer n their various shades. "Come on," demanded Warren. "You haven't any time to waste." When they entered the millinery depart ment, they were met by a condescending saleslady In a trailing black gown with a towering head dress of blond puffs, Something in a black or black and white dres hat." murmured lieien Something not too large." The saleslady pushed forward two chairs. "I'lease be seated." Tnen sue disappeared to return with a ponderous hlack hat covered with white plumes "This looks much smaller when It s on the head." at Helen's protest at the sue 'Just let roe put It on you." "Oh, I know I couldn't wear anything ho large and heavy as that.' Again the saleslady swept away, to re turn with a tiny black velvet net me Hhape of a skull cap. with a big white plume curled over the hack like an angry tall. Helen shrank back an she attempted to place this crtutlon upon her head Oh no no; I couldn't wrnr anything like that." , "You said you wished a small hat madams " "Yss. I know: but I want a brimmed hat nothing on that order." Onee more the saleslady trailed back this time with ft mlshty Injured air. And now she brought out three hats of vail nus sizes. Before Helen could protest she placed on her head a pnke-bonnet ahape with ft big, spreading bow In the back. It was so large In the crown that It came down In a rakish fashion almost ever Helen's ear. 'Just a little large In the crown. I'll get a bandeau." "Oh, no, no. I couldn't wear this any way." "Hut Ignoring her protest, the saleb lady brought a bandeau, pinned It In the hat. and again tried It on Helen, who sat helplehHy tn front of the mirror. "There, now. that's very becoming. Pon t you think so?" Turning to War ren, who was sitting with hla hands crossed on his cane, wutchlng the pro ceedings In cynical silence. "Pon t you think that shape is very good on her?" he akcd again. "Couldn't be much worse." whs War- ren's brief comment. This so dUconcerted the complacency nf the saleslady that she could think of nothing to say. Ho he quietly removed the offending hat snd tried on another. "How do you like that?" stiffly. "That's some better, but it's not whut we went," answered Warren curtly. "Now 1 think we'll ave your time and ours by walking around the" cases here and see whst you have." "Oh, of course, if ypu wish," Icily. "Hut many of our hate are not In the iases." "Well, we'll see those. that sre." and he strode toward the cutes, while Helen hur riedly pinned on her hat and followed him. "Nothing here for you." after a brief survey. "All too big and freakish. By Jove, If they tried they couldn't make 'm more liideuua. Come, let's get out of hare. Don't you know ai place where thv buve cane, normal-looking hate?" 15 if "I don't know, dear," doubtfully. "The . hats are all rather unusual this year." "Unusual! That's putting It mild. I'd call them monstrosities." As they crossed over to the elevator. the saleslady who had stood freeiingly aloof while they walked through the -show rases, now gased after them wtth angry eyes. When they resched the street, he paused with a brief; "Now, where?" 'We might try at M 'a, that'a very near. 'How 'bout that place across the street there?" pointing with his csne to a small millinery store opposite. 'Why, yes, shall we go there? I've seen some very pretty things In that window," 1 This time the woman who came for ward to meet them was undoubtedly the owner or mansger of the shop, and her manner was very different from the ootidescendliig saleslady. Also her judg ment In what would be suitable tor Helen was somewhat better. But though the buta she brought out were neither so large nor so freakish, nd though Helen tried on one after An other, yet none of them eecmed to suit. The moist air had taken the curl out of her hair and It dropped in llttlo unbe coming wisps about her face. Fhe was warm and flushed, too, and longed for ft chance to use her pocket powder puff. She was looking far from her best, and Wsrrnn was watching her with very critical eyes. . As she tried on another ' bat,, a most unbecoming one. Instinctively she turned to avoid hla gase. "Here, turn around, I can't see that way. No, that won't do. It's good- looking hat, but you can't wear It." The words stung Helen keenly; she felt ' herself flushing miserably. "If you would wear your hair Just ft -little fuller suggested the woman. "Yes, I know," hastily. "My hslr looks dreadful this afternoon. I really should not try to get ft hat now." "Nonsense," said Warren. "If you want a hat, now Is the time to get It. , That's what we came for. Isn't It? Here, try that one over there." But that, too, was hopeless. Then War- ren Insisted on going to another place nnd still another, declaring that, since they had coins for the hat, they would not go home at all without It. With each hat she tried on Helen grew more warm and fluahed, and her hair more disordered. 6he was wretchedly conscious that she was looking more un attractive every moment. And Warren's gaie grew more coldly critical. At last In desperation she decided on one of the huts anything to get this oi ileal over. When they reached the street he aaid critically. "You're mighty hard to get a hat for do you know that? Is It the way you wear your hair or whatT" "Oh. Warren. I've always worn my hair like this and you used to Ilk It. Tou wouldn't want me to wear lot of false puffs, would you?" "Certainly not. But you ought to do something fix It different tn some way. You didn't look very well in those hats 1 csn tell you that." They went home on the top of ft bus. At any other time she would have loved the ride up th broad avenue with the street lights gleaming through the misty October dusk. But now aha gased. before her with unhappy eyea. Eh had bought ft bat that ah did not like, that she knew she would never like. But It was not of the hat she wa think ing, but of Warren's eold critical apprais ing gaze.
