Editorial for Women Stealing a Husband By DOROTHY VIX In a scandal in high life that la now before the public, the acgrleved wife charg-ea In her ault againet the other woman that the aald other woman alien ated her hueband'a affectlona from her "by the use of blandishments and flat teries." Precisely so. Thats practically al ways the way it ia done. Tha recipe for being a siren is as simple aa the rule for making cake. X woman has only to take a cupful of the sugar of flattery, a few spoons of the butter of soft words, a little of the milk of human comrade ship, a eouple of egg shells full of sym pathy, throw in a little flavor of pleas antness, and stir all well together, and bake In the warm oven of affection, and she's got a confection that will make any man come and eat out of he hand. Instead of aaklng for our sympathy, a wife should be ashamed to admit that some other woman has alienated her husband's ' affections from her by the use of blandishments and flatterlcw. What was she doing that she didn't beat How Two Women Talked It Over: Little Experience Illustrates Great Point By ADA PATTERSON'. They sat across the aisle from each other In the waiting room of a Jersey City railroad station. It was one of the darkest of the dreary days of a week of dismal weather before Christmas. Neither of them wanted to be there nor did any of the others. The floor was damp from the passage of many rubber clad feet. The walls were dingy. The windows were veiled by sleet. The depot attendants were morose. The waiting passengers were depressed. Suddenly the brown eyed woman gathered up her skirts and her courage. She crossed the aisle and timidly took a seat beside the gray-eyed woman with the worried frown between her straight, black eyebrows. "I'm going to do something very rude," she said in an ingratiating little voice. "But you have such beautiful vigorous hair. Mine Is beginning to turn grey. I hoped perhaps she went on desperately, you would tell me how you take care of yours. Tour hair looks so happy." "My hair does, perhaps." There was a world of tired emphasis on the word "hair." The gray eyes looked into the brown ones, and the frown betwen their straight the other woman to it? Why didn't she-1 blaclt brow l,"ly fded use them herself? Phe had the best I chance, the Inside track, and It's her own fault if she didn't make use of her opportunities. Good women always profess to believe that bad women have some magic for mula by which they lure men away from their own firesides. The only conjure that any woman, good or bad, knows how to work on a man Is simply to be pleasant, and sympathetic, and admir ing, and rub his fur the right way, as ia the common custom of wives. There is nothing mysterious or occult about the charm of the charmer. It is a simple Illustration of the law of supply and demand. A man wants some cheer ful female companionship. If his wife la a cbronlo grouch, who is always com plaining and whining at home, he goes away from home and hunts up some woman who laughs and is Jolly. The man craves flattery. Ills wife is the leader of the anvil chorus and never misses a chance to give him a knock that leaves his vanity bruised and bleed ing. He finds aome woman who jollies him to the limit, and he makes a fool of himself over her in consequence thereof. Perhaps the man la heart hungry for sympathy and understanding. If his wife can't abide anything that he likes, and yawns In his face when he tries to talk to her about his business or profes sion, why, sooner or later, he meets up with a woman who doea comprehend his aspirations, and. who fans the flame of his ambition, and there s another case 'of affinities. As a matter of fact, every woman who has got a husband won him with blan dishments and flatteries, and It is a tragto and a pitiful thing that they haven't enough sense to keep him fed up on the same sweet meats; but that they ait supinely down and let aome other woman steal their bait away from them, and go fishing for their husbands with the fly to which every man from Adam down invariably rises. "It might help me to know whether you wash your often or seldom, and what you use In the shampoo," pleaded she of the brown orbs. They plunged Into comparisons. She of the gray eyes waa of positive nature. She was confident that her thick, dark curia were due. after her inheritance of them, to three habits: shampooing their with herbs, to eschew soap, which she regarded as an enemy of hair; to keeping the akin of the scalp loose and cool by light dally massages; to letting the hair hang, loose and free, to the aun and air, as often as possible. The other, a negative, . listened as eagerly as a chtld to a fairy story. "Of course, I have a good store of vitality. The more vitality the better the hair as a rule," her instructor said. "Tes. I noticed the gray hairs first when I hsd a severe nervous breakdown. And I've had a slight one lately, brought on by Christmas shopping." . Ah. ' It waa a cooing sound such ss one uses with a child whom she wants to comfort. The gray eyes that had been bright and cold as a bar of steel, while the frown remained between them, were soft now as a forest lake with the sunlight of a summer afternoon upon them. The women, by that swift freemasonry of nature that each need the other, be came friends. It chanced that they were taking the same train. Their cheerful, helpful chatter floated back to me across the Intervening car seats. They talked of Christmas shopping, each giving the other hints as to how to simplify it. They exchsnged ideas about keeping their children healthy and how to so educate them as to make them equal to their strong wrestling partner, the world. They grased. sympathetically, the mother-in-law theme. To their en during credit, be It said, they said noth ing about their husbands. They were wise women who knew that all wives are dissatisfied, more or loss, with their hus bands. They were loyal women who thought the faults of their partners should be covered so long as the part ners themselves permitted them to be covered, if their husband's shortcomings had brought the frown between the gray eyes and the slight sadness Into the brown ones, their owners did not trans late them into speech. Discussing womankind's problems, they shunned the principal one of the marrlel woman, how to get on with your mate. The woman with the brown eyes got off at her station among the cedar dotted, snow-cloaked New Jersey hills, she took her companion's hand, and giv ing it warm, though timid pressure. "You have comforted me on a hard Journey," she said. "You have made mine lighter and brighter." said the gray-eyed traveller, "for you have taught me patience." You have lent me strength." Her smile of parting waa braver than that of her greeting. The one who had feared to Intrude cast a smiling backward glance through the car window. A slight Incident of railway travaL Tet there had been that which make the life tour easier, an Interchange of helpful Ideas. There had been the benefit of "talking things over." They had com forted each other by the way on the longer Journey. Advice to Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfax ! Oa Yoar nisnlty. Dear kllss Fairfax: I am a steno grapher. JH. and considered pretty.
