Professions and Their
Relation to Marriage.
A Man's Business Certainly Influences His Character
and It is Well for a "Wife-toBo to Consider That
By DOROTHY DEC
A young; woman who appears to be
mors blessed In the matter of suitor
than Is customary In this bcauless ace
writes me that three, men arc suing; for
her heart and
hand. One of these
Itomeos Is a law
J or, another a doc
tor and a third Is a
preacher, and she
desires to know
which one of these
professions turns
out the best variety
of husband.
Tf I were choos
ing a husband I
should pick out the
man and not his
occupation Still, as
a matter of fact,
h woman Is con
cerned In her hus
band's business;
and, so, perhaps it
is Just as well for her to take that into
consideration in selecting her life mate.
Certainly a man's profession influences
his character to a degree. Also It largely
determines the conditions' under which
his wife must live, and It Is as well for
hor to consider beforehand whether these
would be to her liking or not.
A soulful woman, for Instance, might
find a never ending discussion In the
family of salt and fish, and green gro
ceries getting upon her nerves, no matter
howf worthy was the husband whose in
terest was bound up in the provision
trade. On the other hand, a woman
whose mental range never reached
beyond her own kitchen and nursery
would be likely to find the society of a
learned college professor somewhat
heavy. Also the woman who Is keen for
money and the good things that money-
buys obviously makes a mistake In mar-
rying a maa who follows the fine arts
and whose reward is mainly plain living
and high thinking.
j.nere are just, as many gooa husbands
in one profession as In another. It all
depends 'on the man, but whether a
woman should marry a man following a
certain occupation depends upon the
woman.
Lawyers make excellent husbands, but
no woman who Is particularly endowed
with the feminine vice of curiosity should
marry a lawyer, because he is bound to
have secrets from his little wlfey that
she will be dying to know. As a class,
women haven't a very high 'sense of pro
fessional honor, and the ordinary wife
woiild almply go through grinding tor
ments, knowing" that her husband knew
all the inside facts or some thrilling scan
dal that he wouldn't tell 'her, and she
couldn't see any reason why he should
not tell her. unless he had some dark,
ulterior motive. Therefore I advise my
correspondent to look Into her own soul
and see if she is one of those who al
ways want to be told everything and if
she is to pass up her lawyer beau'.
The woman who is Jealous should never
marry a doctor, because her husband is
bound to spend his time holding the
hands of lovely ladles In pink silk and
lace negligees who have dolled them
selves up especially to be admired by the
doctor. The doctor's business throws him
into a dangerous intimacy with many
fascinating women, and unless his wife
can bring herself to accept the fact that
he Is 'thinking how big a fee he can charge
a near invalid as a he gases Into her
lustrous orbs instead of reflecting how
lovely her eyes are, and how much bigger
and darker than his wife's why she had
best let the physician go by. Otherwise
he will ruin both her own and her hus
band's lives, for a Jealous wife is a handi
cap against which no doctor ran struggle
successfully.
The woman who is fitted for a preach
er's wife must be that female paragon
who has neither curiosity nor Jealousy,
for the clergyman must be the repository
of as many secrets as a lawyer, and must
be as sympathetic, with women as the
doctor, and. In addition, custom has made
it obligatory for him to be a sort of lady's
pet and openly receive the adoration 'of
the women of the congregation In a way
that must be maddening to a wife In
clined to be green-eyed.
Moreover, the preacher is in this per
petual danger zone he lias to converse
with the sisters of his flock about their
Immortal soul, and women know, if men
do not, that women have no souls. They
have only hearts, and when they converse
The Suffrage Movement
And Womanly Beauty
The newspapers happily have proven by
printing photographs of many suffrage
leaders that they are up to the minute,
both as to clothes and as to beauty and
we contend modern women are beautiful
because they have learned to care for
themselves and study beauty methods.
Then, too, we have found an astonishing
thing namely that they have discarded
face powder. The reason complexions
suffer so much In summer is because
powder does not offer sufficient protec
tion against the hot sun. A plain spur
max lotion not only safeguards the skin
from tbeelementsbutlnlUelf Is a beau
tifier of great worth. To prepare thls
lotion at home, dissolve 4 ounces apurstax

most fluently about the yearnings for
heaven they are thinking most about
flirtations on earth. Therefore the woman
who cannot detect the difference between
a man's seal for the salvation of the
ewe lambs In his flock and mundane love
affairs does well to say "no" to a
preacher.
No woman outside of the theatrical pro
fession should marry an actor, because no
other woman Is quick enough change ar
tist to fall In and out of love so as not
to mske a messy tragedy of matrimony.
The life of the actor concentrates his at
tention on the emotions and makes them
tho center of the universe. Therefore, he
Is always taking tho temperature or his
affections, and the minute they've gone
down from the boiling point to normal he
becomes alarmed and nervous and starts
out on a still hunt for something in the
way of a tonic.
Actresses, being also temperamental,
feel the same way, and understand this
condition of affairs perfectly. Therefore,
there are seldom any hard feelings or
hurt heart In a theatrical divorce.
Ordinary women, .not in. the profession,
cannot reach these emotional heights,
and so they are wise If they confine their
adorations for matinee heroes to the front
of the house. Instead of behind the foot
lights. '
Generally speaking, the safest choice
for a husband Is Just the ordinary, every
day business man. He doesn't expect too
much of a wife, because he's used to
employing people and knows the measure
of human Imperfections. He also knows
that nothing ever comes up to your hopes
of It, and so he sets down the disappoint
ments of matrimony to the general profit
and loss account of life and lets it go
at that.
He Is not accustomed to flattery like
the doctor and the lawyer and the actor,
and so he Is willing to admire his wife
instead of expecting her to throw bou
quets at him. He gets about all the ex
citement that he wants In his business,
and so he Is content to stay at home at
night, and Is easily tamed and domestt
.e,tedi ond or the ,d other reon, he
makes the preferred risk In matrimony.

The Girl in Love with Love
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
The world la full of girls who dramatic
ally tell me that they cannot live with
out the love of a certain man, and beg
of me to tell them how to win it. Some
of these girls are really In love with the
man who has tired of them or who does
not reciprocate their affection. But
more of them are In love with love.
The girl who Is In love with love craves
affection, but is In grave danger all the
time because of her own emotional
nature.
Liove Is a besutiful and holy thing. It
is worth waiting for and striving for
and working for and dreaming of. But
in order to be worthy of real love when
it comes, one must not waste her beauti
ful and holy power of feeling deep things
in a series of light and trifling emotions.
Affection can be spent like any other
of life's . great riches. It must not be
wasted and scattered.
Tho girl who Is in love with love Is in
danger from within and without xHer
own nature inclines her to look for love,
to Idealise some man and eve to try to
force the knowledge of her charms on
some one not at ail attracted by her. It
makes her forward and not so particu
larly lovable.
It causes her to be impatient of guid
ance and to foster illy affairs of which
she would not dare let her parents know.
It causes her to yield too quickly to
flattery and blandishment and to find
delight In all sorts of people against
whom her sober Judgment would warn
her If only she gave It a rhaare.
The danger that menaces her from
without Is manifold. It lies in the fact
that she la casly the dupe ot spurious
affection. The men who wins her need
Hats with a French Touch of Smartness
Everything that reminds one of "grandmother's" day is successful In the fashion world of today. So
this large, soft-brlmnied "tapellne" of bordeaux red moire Is tired of favor not only because of Its qulntly
becoming flare, but because It recalls the "Cabriolet" hat Of 1830. - '
Posed far back from the face, with a poke point In front. It Is becoming to any youthful wearer. The
crown gathers up In a broad band of the same material and it Is faced iu black velvet. It Is trimmed In two
"flanks" of Taradtse that wirl at the right Bide.

not be worthy of love he need only be
cbpable of meeting her love of love. He
need not be loyal and fine and worthy
If once he has come to be the object ot
her false ideas of love, lie Is tempted
to permit her to lavish her affection
upon him and to give only a sort of
toleration In return.
There are a number ot' things In life
besides loving and marrying and giving
in marriage. Ive and marriage do not
come to every woman. The girl who
fosters her own longing for home and
htisbund at the expense of the work that
is hers to do dally interferes with her
own growth and advancement.
Day dreams are beautiful things but
they have a way ot occupying time that
ought to be given over to the actualize
ot the day. There is work for each of
us to do. There are duties and strivings
and efforts that call for our best. And
we must give our best to the tasks that
re here and now Instead of "mooning"
about the romance that we long for in
our lives. "
Romance and fine sentiment come all
tho more readily into a lire tf it is not
choked up with weeds ot wasted emo
tions. bo to you unhappy little girls who tell
me that you cannot live unless you
have the love of a certain man I reply,
are you really a"' genuinely and un
selfishly in love with him or are you
foolishly and desperately In love with
the glam-jroiis Idea of love?
Don't let a I'.nghig for love sweep yuu
Into in ill-advised ami unworthy love
affair. Because y u have rc.l leellng

and save It fur a lasting affection and a

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 1 years of

last three years. HI nee lately his atten
tions are frequently given to the boys
more than to me. la it proper that he
should buy clothes for his sister and not
for me, as 1 am out of work?
IMPATIENT.
A self-respect Ing girl does not allow a
niun to buy her wearing apparel unless
lie Is of her Immediate family or la her
husband. So your fiance may buy clothes
for his sister, but not for you.
I suspect that you have been whining a
bit to your sweetheart, and so he Is seek

am sure your temporary clouds will blow

three years older than myself. He In
vited me to go on a picnic with himself

make up a box of lunch. What am I to
do? My mother says It Isn't proper for
a girl to make up the lunch unless the
fellow lays out the money before the
time. There are many of my lady friends
carrying on the same question.
ANXIOUS.
When young men arrange a picnic It Is
customary for the girls to bring the
lunch. It would be quite Improper fo

y How measure the distance between

C, .1 rcsder. Rlts-Carlton hotel New
York.
A. To measure the distance of the
stars, the diameter of the orbit of the
earth, a line about lss.WO.OOO miles long
Is the only one that astronomers have
for a bsse line. Any triangle can be
solved when three parte, one being a side.
are given. The diameter of the orbit of
the earth Is known with great accuracy
IM.7iJ,M4 miles.
Two angles, -at Intervals of half a year
are measured, giving dlrrotlons of ths
star from the earth In Its twv positions
Then the triangle Is at once computed.
Hut the entire 1.. 773,831 miles Is so ex
cessively short, ss seen from even the
nearest star, that It Is about as difficult
to measure as is the diameter of a
spider's thresd.
And It required 13 yesrs of hard work
to make instruments fine enough to mess
tire stellar angles. Then It was found
that the nearest star Is distant 25.500,009,
UIO.OOO inlles.
To measure the distances of the planets
Is easy In comparison. Measure the an
gles from the esrth and sun to all the
planets and solve. This requires many
years of accurate measuring.
But this glgantlo. work can be dispensed
with by merely watching the times re
quired for all the planet to revolve
around the sun. All that has than to be
done Is to square these times and extract
the cube roots of the squares. These
roots are true distances of all of the
planets In terms of the earth's distance
from the sun.
These relative distances were known be
fore the earth's distance In miles had
been measured. Thus It was known that
Jupiter Is 6 2 times farther from the sun
than the earth Is long before It was
known that the earth's distance Is VI,
8H6.B1? miles.
