Woman's Thirst for Admiration
The Empty Flattery Too Often Mistaken
for the Genuinely Honest Thing.
The Story of Jade
Ugly Duckling Must Make Most of Her
Consolation Prize Woman Need Not Lack
Attention from Men If She Makes Most of Her Talents
OS
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Nothlnc In all the world can convtnr
a woman that a man Is not absolutely
Justified for being in love with her. Noth
ing can convince her that she la not being
cheated out of her birthright and given
an unfair deal and being abused and ne
glected and generally maltreated by
malicious fate unless her progress through
life la marked at Intervals by admiring
males.
Everyone of us ha enough sane judg
ment to know when a man Is making a
fool of himself by falling in love with
somebody else. But when It comes to the
personal singular. Judgment falls. We
don't have to deserve love ur to win It
we Just want It! And ty the force of
'wanting we expect to attract It; while
because of the force of that same desire
we think the tide of life ought to go out
of Its way and digress about all obstacles
In order to wash up on the shores at
our feet shipwrecked mariner who will
exclaim at once and in glowing terms at
pur own first person singular supreme
charm I
We want admiration ergo: we must
have It.
, And the ways in which we set out ' to
get it. oh, my sisters, are strange and
wonderful and wonderfully-; Ineffectual.
We make ourselves fine with gay raiment.
We learn all the futile little tricks of
modern society. We manever to out
shine other women. Wo cater to the very
characteristics In men which in our
hearts we least admire and which, when
deliberately appealed to, fail to yield last
ing or deep response. We make ourselves
cheap and conspicuous and easily attain
able and lower our best standards. And
all of thia for admiration and the glitter
of compliments.
And even while we are chasing In a
circle as amusingly futile as the one Pus
syklns describes when she whirls after
her own fluffy tall, there are the big
emotions waiting outside the pathetlo
little circle we choose for iur dally round.
, Masculine admiration Is well worth
having. But It Is not to be confused with
mure compliments, or with amused toler
ance or with patronising tribute to the
"weaker sex." No grown woman can
really want a man to like her In the way
he would an adorable pretty child. No
being of flesh and blood can live on the
sort of glowing criticism a beautiful
picture might call forth. And no woman
of character can be satisfied to appeal to
man save In an Intellectual way.
But "most of us go unerringly after
what analysis surely shows us we do not
want. We don't discriminate between
praise and flattery and honest admira
tion. For the sake of the icing we swal
low cake that Is made of moldy flour and
cold storage eggs and rancid bu'ter.
We envy the woman who Is showy and
popular. We despair because of some girl
who trails through promenades with a
string of courtiers. . We want to Jiave
other women see that we are admired.

We want to have the men we honettly
like to see thnt a lot of men whom we
probably honestly dislike admire us.
And for whose good Is It all? Admirers
are not always deelrers. The girl of one

far better than the girl who, with a
string of admirers to choose from, se
lects the one who moM caters to her and
who most gracefully flatters her and
pasres by the sincere affection that dares
to look at her with honest eyes and
Speak to her with a true tongue.
How much difference dors it make In

If you have dancing ability and you
turn It to account either making a
livelihood through It or teaching little
slum children grace rhythmic expres
sion If you achieve something tlgnal
through this talent you will receive true
admiration and you will be too busy to
notlco It. : '
For there lies the gist of the whole
matter, some women play to the gallery
and they are far more Interested In
the applause given them than In the
consideration of what they have done to
win it. And some women are doing
work home work, personal work,
world's work It matters not which, for
their Interest Is In doing well their task.
They aro not considering the flattery,
that might confuse them as to real Is
sues In their efforts. They are consider
ing the end of a Job well done.
Ulysses had to atop his sailors' ears

drifting off the reefs for no other rea
son man because tney listen 10 we siren :
song of praise. And so sweet sounds the J
chant that they don't look out into life's
sea and remember where they are point-,
ing.
A great many women are modest
enough not to think themselves Irresistl- .
ble until a few flatterers have told them
so. But they long to be made to be-
lleve.
Don't listen. The siren song of flat
tery leads right to the rocks. The faith
ful attachment of one loyal man Is a
fine thing to have. The admiration of a
real friend la manna to the spirit. But
that you have to win and deserve If you
wont to keep It long.
And the only way to deserve real ad-!

In life that you forget the applause that
honestly and always comes in the end

IIstc an Understanding.
Dear Miss' Fairfax: For many years I
have been about with a man who has
asked me at different time to marry
him, yet he never sets a date, and intro
duces me to his friends as his sister, and
boasts he Is a bachelor. Ever since I've
known him he has received letters and
cards from different women. When
asked to explain he says "These women
are nothing to me and I am silly to
bother myself about them." These things
are making me lose my respect for him,
because he won't talk about his affairs
and I have commenced to feel I've been
Imposed upon. Do you think it best to
break with him? Or is the fault mine?
If so kindly enlighten me. B. B. B.
Tou must have a clear understanding
with this man, both for the sake of your
self-respect and your peace of mind. If
he really lovea you and means to marry
you and you in turn care for him, make
up you mind not to be a Jealous, nag
ging wife who refuses to trust her hus
band. If on the other hand he la Just
selfishly taking up your time. It would
be better for yoti to know it at once and
to suffer a quick, merciful blow rather
than drag though years of uncertain
wondering.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am engaged to a
young lady with whom I have been going
about three years. Hlie goes out to theaters

. A flat shaped vase of cm -
erald green jade.
By GARRETT P. BERVI8S.
There Is a great charm about the stone
oalled Jade, which, from prehistoric
times, h been carved Into ornaments
and implements. It la a. crose-gralned,
hard, massive substance, showing a
peculiar lustre on the cut surfaces
and possessing a distinctive color, usually
some shade or blending of green or blue.
It Is sufficiently rare to prevent objects
made of It from becoming commonplace,
being found only In moderate quantities
In certain parts of the world.
China has always been famous for its
jade, and it la found also In Siberia.
Turkestan, New Zealand. Egypt and
northwestern America. Another name for
n la nephrite, from the Greek word for
kidney, an old belief being that It had
curative powers over kidney diseases.
There are two varieties jade proper
and jadelte. The former la a silicate of
calcium and magnesium, and the latter
imcaie or aluminum ana sodium. lna,
In his "Mineralogy." says that the alumi
num-sodium silicate In other words,
jadelte Is the stone most highly prized
Accidents
By CHARLES U. PARKH I'RST.
The Police Bulletin, Issued monthly un
der the auspices of the department, con
tains a quantity of matter that is of
Interest to the general public as well as
to the force. The
October issue gives
a carefully worked
ut - analyst of
highway accidents
occurring in New
Tork city, calculat
ed from a variety
of points of view
and affording mat
ter for careful study
to all who use th
streets, whe t h r
as passenger or
pedestrian.
It appear that
during the first
eight month of
th present year
there were 409 per
sona k 1 1 1 d, or
nearly two a day, and IS,. 616 Injured, or
about sixty-five dally. One result ob
tained which doe not at all coincide
with popular impression is that com
paratively few of these accident are due
to the fault of motormen or drivers, but
to pedeitrain or passengers.
In th month of August last, out of
71 Injured only thirty-one are set down
as a u to tne rauit or motormen or
driver; ' that 1 to say, only about' one
In twenty. Of the accidents occurring In
that month, and due to personal care
leanness, 171 are attributed to "improp
erly boarding or alighting;'' ZH to "cross'
ing streets not at crossing;" 137 to "play
ing In the street."
Such facta and figures afford pedes
triana something that It is worth their
while to ruminate upon. The general Im
presslon that street fatalities and in
juries are mostly chsrKeabie to the risli
ness. and carclerar.ess of chauffeurs .s
thus authoritatively contradicted. It is
always agreeable to es aie personal re
sponsibility by locating It elsewhere

rule, a pretty careful class, nor without
discovering that a great many pedes-
(rUm, w,u, ke

start across the street at -ny point that
suits their convenience, without taking
any survey of the condition of the street
traffic. That might be discreet in the
country, but not on a crowded city
thoroughfare,
Th figures just quoted show that such
negligence is suicidal. It 1 only fair to
add that there Is no doubt but that chauf
feurs do, to some extent, trespass upon
the rights of pedestrians, especially In
treating crossings as being their own
property. Instead of being th Joint prop
erty of th entire traveling public. The
entire matter can be fairly and briefly
disposed of by saying that the mass of
people la this city are In such a pertur
batlon and unreasonable agitation (hat
they have not sense enough left to know
how to take care of themselves.
Th Bulletin itself states th case in
saying: "It must all t due to the tre

Externally tne two varieties appear so
much alike that only an expert ur a min
eralogist can distinguish between them.
Recent examination has shown that
much of the Chinese hide Is really Jade
lte. Color furnishes no certain test, for
both possess a great variety of hues and
shades, and hardness and lustre are
equally Inderterminate qualities. Chemi
cal composition Is the only sure clue.
However, for tho collector of antique
and beautiful specimens of Jade carving
the question of the chemical composition
of (he material used la of relatively little
importance, since whether it be Jade or
Jadelte the qualities that give it value
are equally present. It is the work of the
artist upon a matertnl suitable to express
and perpetuate his Idealized forms that
Is sought for and admired.
In prehistoric times Jade or jadelte was
employed for implements of labor, such
as stone axes. This hss given rise to the
name "axe-stone," sometimes applied to
these minerals. Specimens have been
found, for instance, among the remains
of the "lake dwellings" of Bwltserland,
although the stone does not exist nat
urally in Europe. This Indicates that

Much of the charm of Jade objects
arises from the exceedingly rich and
varlognted colors of ths material. These
colors are not glaring or conspicuous, but
stibd'iccd and beatlfully harmonious, and
the artists, in the finest specimens, have
taken advantage of the distribution of
the various tones and tints to heighten
the effect of their denlgns while bringing
out the contrasts of color.
Often, as in tho objects shown in the
photographs on this page, the most ex
quisite effects are produced by the vary
ing shades of color running through the
carved figures. Among the colors charac
teristic of Jade and Jadelte, are emerald
green, "mutton-fat," tea-green, violet,
"camphor" and yellow. Nearly all these
shades are sometimes found distributed
through a single specimen. The rarest
combinations are said to be of vlolot and

listened last Thursday evening to the
Informal account that Mr. Osborne gave
of hi work at Sing Blng cam to th
conference with the notion that the war
den was administering his office under
a system of sentimentality, the result
must have been a thorough disabusing
of the mind of all auch Idea. The warden
la not built along sentimental line. HI
entire bearing la one of dignity, which
expressed itself both In what he said and
in the way he sald.lt, and gave the He
to any such conception of him as that he
would seek to fulfill his relations to the
convict by a policy of coddling.
The point was made by himself and by
other who took part In the conference
that th punitive system that nas been
In vogue In Sing Blng, as in other penal
institutions, la convicted of Inefficiency
by the poor qualllty of its results. One of
th conferees, s Judge In th court of
general session, stated that of the crim
inals that came before him for sentence.
S3 per cent had been sentenced before at
least once and In some eases twice, three
times and even up to ten time.
A system that can show no better work
than that la self-condemnatory, if some
different policy can be suggested that
gives even slight promise of yielding bet
ter result It stand to reason that It
should be experimented with and thor
oughly tried out. The difference after fell
between the policy that Warden Osborne
has adopted and the one which he has
displaced Is far more a matter of manner
than of matter.
On of th gentlemen present asked him
to glv a history of one day's perform
ances, first as things were under the old
regime and then a they are under the
new. The difference between the two I
far lea than a good many of th warden'
critic seem to suppose.
The Inmate ar allowed 'to talk to
each other at their meals. In view of
the unsanitary and altogether contemp
tible Inadequacy of the cells they ara al
lowed the freedom of the grounds as far
as la oompatlbl with the requlslt disci
pline of the Institution.
Under the old dispensation they were
treated simply s criminal to b pun
ished. I'nder the new they are still
treated aa criminals to be punished, but
alao as men to be so dealt with that
when they graduate they shall no longer
be a public nuisaace. but become a public
benefit. They are recognized as bad and
yet not so altogether bad as to afford no
realduuiii of manly decency to be dealt
with and fostered.
Although no allusion was made to the
'i n me warden' address ther is
something In th situation which has not
come to open statement and full public
recognition. There la no larger element
of leniency In Mr. Onborne'a policy than
there is in that of Warden Homer In the
ureal Meadow State prison at Comatock
In fact, there Is not anywhere nearly as
mum.
I can speak of Great Meadow from per
sonal knowledge acquired by having
spent considerable time on the arounds
and In association with the convict. But
ther are no criticisms passed on Oreat
Meadow. Warden Homer Is not being
excoriated. The newspapers are not eel
brating his sentimentality.
There is an animus In the mind of
the original author of criticism that does
not proceed from any anxiety lest the
convicts should not be dealt with with
sufficient severity. In that fact lie the
real nub of th situation.

women .wl.o can keep a man inlcrort. d
j end sniurd I the one that can hold
j h m. and of whom he never tires. "
i The second ndvnntnse the homely gtrl
' hoi owr her pretty sistrr Is In the mnt-
Ur of vanity. The whelp circumstances
ef Ivjn'i life lend to mk her self,
conceited snd neirtuh. She feels thSt
ndul;it!(.n Is her rlKhl. and that she
should hsve the lest of everything aijfl
everybody thould be subservient to her
whhiia. v
Men held pretty much the rame views
concerning their o n rreroaatlve.i thjit
tho beauty dors about hers, and so when
th two met there Is apt to be a clash.
That's where the ujly Krl hss hor In
ning spaln
. She Is wllllns to etudy a man and try
to pleaso him. Instead of having him
break his nerk tryin to pVopltlat her.
She's arxlmis to burn Incense before th
man InMead of expecting him t- pet
i.usy with his Jow Mirk at her feet.
She's resdy to hurl bouquets at the msn
Instead of haughtily r?rl?nlr.g to accept
a few tributes from him. And thl ex
plains why ravishing beauties so seldom
make good msirlno, while so many
plain looking women capture matrimonial
prises.
flttll .another advantage that the
homely woman has over the beauty Is
that aa the beauty grows older she fades.
while as the plain woman grows older
she nearly always get better looking,
o that often two women, one of whom
waa pretty and th other ugly at 20,
hav changed places at .
The middle-aged beauty whose hair h
lost It luster, her cheeks their roses,
her eye their brightness, her form It
lithe grace, la a plteou wreck of her
former elf, but th homely woman wpo
never had any beauty except that of the
mind and soul Is at th very height of
her charm, and her Intelligence and sym
pathy mak her even physically attrac
tive. x
Therefor let th homely girl not mourn
as on without hope, but stt herself to
work to cultivate her mind and heart
with th assurance that Intelligence and
oompanlonableness are a pretty good
substitute for beauty, and that when aa
ugly woman I fascinating she Is the
most fascinating woman on earth. t

Good Judgment haa often been termed
cowardice. ' I
It 1 easier to look Into th mouth of
som gift horse than others. '
When a girl laugh at being kissed It
la a sign that th fellow I wasting time.
When a fellow cannot maka a good
speech It will always help som to "set
'em up again."
Lot of men who claim to have corns
from fine families appear to be a long,
way from home. ' r
