Are Out of Reach and Because a Hidden Love Adven- ture Seems More Romantic Than Honest Courtship. D. C, Classes Them With Forbid- den Fruit— Tempting Why dre Married Men So Attractive to Girls A MAN wants to know why married men have such a fascination for girls, 4} and wherein a benedict's woolng differs from that of a bachelor. The first part of this double-barreled question was answered by live in the Garden of Eden, and every girl takes after her greatest grandmother. Married men are forbidden fruit, and that alone whets the appetite of the foolish little Evelyns for them, and makes them seem the prize pippins of the whole matrimonial orchard. The thing that a woman cannot have, that she has no right to have, and especially the thing that some other woman possesses, is always the thing that she wants most. If you have ever watched women fight over 4 commonplace and unattractive article on a bargain table, where each was !du(ermlned to have it just because the others desired it, you have the psychological explanation of why a girl falls for a married man that she I\\'nul(ln'z look at if he were single. Also women are the adventurous sex. They love to play with danger hild plays with fire, and a large part of the lure of the married man nsists in the fact that a girl knows that when she has an affair with one she Is risking every shred of her reputation and gambling with her happi ness, and that any minute she may be cited as a co-respondent and dragged into’the slime of the divorce courts. Also, the average girl is simply slopping over with romance, and some- how she gels more kick out of bLeing wooed under the rose than she does in an aboveboard, honest-to-God courtship. There is something about the secrecy of a love intrigue with a married man that thrills her. It makes her feel so desperately wicked, like one of the grand pussion heroines of her favorite novels, who cried, “All for love, and the world well los {she chucked her bLonnet over the \\'lcdmlll . . . S because the married man is the only man in the world who 1s out f her reach, and whom she has no right to try to grab; it is because other woman has set her seal of approval on him by marrying him; 1t is because an illicit love episode is a streak of lurid romance in her drab idays that the little Tottlss and Flossies are able to see the hero of their { Birlish dreams in the fat, bald-headed, middle-aged men for whom they work, {and the Mauds and Gwendolyns imagine that they have found their aflinities in some ordi . commonplace married man. who would bore them to tears it his wedding ring did not give a fictitious value in thelr eyes. Add also to this, vanity and cruelty. In the man hunt women look on the married man as big game. and when they bring one down they feel as it they had capturcd an elephant instcad of having shot a tame rabbit There are girls who boast of their conquests among marricd men, and w | have so little heart that they dclight in watching the agonies of jealousy { that they inflict on the poor defenseless wife. Many young women are likewise gold diggers, and these virtua their attentions to married men. as wealthy bachelors ure few, a do, middle-aged married men are plentiful and also easy. Why the married man who starts out as a Lothari f feminine hearts is perfectly obvious. To begin with dvantage that the widower has over the single man. v to speak, instead of an amateur lover.

It is pitv. And so he begins his lov ! by telling the cirl that his wife does not understand him. that she is his real soulmate, that they have nothing in common. and that his home is bleak, and barren, nnd unhappy. Generally he accuses his wife of being {# human iceberg, while he is a perfect geyser of love and tenderness jAnd then he mouns, “Oh, why did we not meet in time?’ And th i little idiot of a wirl undértakes the consolation role. ! Of course, all of this effective love play is more or less impossible to the i bachclor. He lacks the technique of the married man. He cannot appeal {ta u woman's sympathies, or pose before her in the role of a martyr. { Mie can only make love in the commonplace old way, and it cramps his style j Just the same old reason that made Eve listen to the serpent.

For several days thereafter he was content to go no farther than was necessary to get food enough. They saw no more of Gray Fox or Yowler the Bob Cat. In fact, they saw no one to be afraid of. Bob' White came around every day and Whitenose the Fox Squirrel paid them a visit now and then. They be- gan to feel quite contented and happy. They saw nothing more of their un- pleasant_relative, Little Robber the Cotton Rat, and they had no desire to see more of him. They had about decided that they had no other relatives down theré in the Sunny South, when one moonlight night, when they had ventured a lit- tle farther than usual from home, j they unexpectedly came face to face jwith a stranger who, at the first glance, they knew must be a relative. That he was a member of the Rat branch of the family they had no doubt whatever. He was considerably bigger than Little Robber the Cotton Rat, and quite naturally Dapny and Nanny were afraid of him. They turned to run. “Don't do that” squeaked the stranger. “I won't hurt you. It seems to me I've never seen you before.

ALLEN. ‘Why Mole Wraps Are Costly. “Why,” the shopper after beautiful furs wants to know, “Is a moleskin Wrap as costly as a tiara of jewels, and a good moleskin neckplece in the same class as the necklace round the throat it covers?” Moles are certainly not scarce, and never can be scarce. They burrow in the earth and multiply as rapidly as rats. And they come to the mar- ket by the millions. But" when one considers that it takes 600 skins to make one small wrap, and more than 1,000 for a long one, the price is not to be wondered ‘nt. Of late years mole has been an extremely popular fur, and an almost incredible quantity of these tiny skins has been used. Consider for a moment the shimmering bronze-taupe fellow tyrned up In the furrow by the Elou(h-ho)’. Country life is over for im, and he is destined for a lady's evening wrap. The skin is pickled, | and in a few days is in the hands of | the city fur buyer. It now has t be “fleshed” and _cleaned— that is, the tiny particles of flesh and fat still_glinging to the hide must be scraped off. ‘This is a most delicate process, as the moleskin is as frag- ile as oiled paper, and one careless stroke may ruin the skin entirely. This fs all hand work, and is done | with the bluntest and smoothest of | bone scrapers, such as the Indians ! used, or a special knife In the hands | of a'skilled fur dresser. { Wext the moleskin must be cleaned | and “topped.” They call it “top-| ping” when the skin side is dipped | to dye the edges where the seams meet; if this were not done the raw little pelt would show up at each of the twenty-four hundred seams in your coat. Then cuch moleskin is cut ever at the edges and sewed into squares- twenty-four hundred cuttings, twen ty-four hundred sewings, in all a: average of eighty-four hand opera- tlons, before the manufacturer ha even yet begun 1o fashion the eoat. The mole’ has been compared to plush, but it is far n perishable and more velvety than any plush ev worn. ~ No art of man has been foy to imita oduce the luster a the pansy softness of this almost- vet fur. The world ca 6,000,000 600 are aseribed h of moles ia rate +» and of these, 2,000 to Amerl 1 trade ‘The best skins come from cotland, have a very short velvety fur: the color is a deep glate blue, and when seen in certain light shimmers into bron: he shins are #mall, measuring only ut two b four inches in size Thin in leather, and fragile as t« fur, moleskin s’ suitable for eas wear, but certainly not for hard continued usage. Women buy suc) delicate things, as the 1-lover acquires precious stones—to have and to liold, to 100k at, to carces lovingls and 1f not to keep in glass cases, at least to treasure in cedar chests and moth-proof storage. To do other- wise and to subject rare furs—mole chinchilla or gray squirrel—to roug! outdoor wear, is simply to show one ignorance of furs. Miss 1. L.
