26 WOMA Plaids and Squ The cubist who delights in squar: end right angles ought to find satit faction in contemplating the new fab- rles. For plaids and squares galore are among them and dressmakers and milliners have started In using them for clothes to be worn in late winter and epring.

At least that !s true of the siiking plaids, and the fads of the hour are striking. The milliners are apparently put- ting across the plaid idea by means of ribhons, some of which follow the Scotch tartans more or less faithfully. while others are just two-toned checks.

Aquarius. Very good aspects predominate up- til noon. Decisions made today will be of great benefit to those concerned. The afternoon may bring about some misunderstandings, although not of a serious nature, while the evening influences will create happiness and Joy. A child born today will be sensitive, imaginative and creative, but easily influenced and temperamentally vin- dictive. People born under the sign of Aquarius are noted for their intellec- tuality and their spirituality. They are generally kind, generous and for- glving. They are courageous and enterprising, and often found among the lsaders of popular movements. They are also lively in dispasition and are apt to be entertaining. They are inclined to mock at fate nd take long and hazardous chances; always live for the moment and thus live in moments of increasing power. You are ambitious and rather un- scrupulous in the means vou employ to achieve your end. Happily, your end is usually in concordance with public ideals, so that what might be murder and treason is often heroism and patriotism. However, your jud ment is not as cautious as it is in- flexible. You might make a tragic error and stick to it rather than admit it. You are courageous and adven- turous, because, after all, life means little to you unless it can'furnish you the excitement your soul craves. You are fond of travel and might spend your life going from one strange land_ to another. You adapt Yourselt easily to the customs of for- eign places and .you feel at home wherever you are. You are generous and Indulgent to those you love. Money means little to you, but the happiness it can create in you and in others is all you care about, and, on the whole, you like to see those about you happy. Well known people born on this date are: Bartholomew F. Moore, lawyer: William Farrell, meteorolo- gist; Willlam McKinley, ‘twenty-fitth President of the United States; Charles F. Crisp, congressman; Sarah C. Woolsey, author; John.D. Cham- piin, author. can women.

EAR DOROTHY DIX: I have been keeping company lately with a young Chinese man whom I met at college. He is very wealthy, and has all kinds of cars and I have alwzys had a good time with him. We are not engaged. In fact, he has not asked me to marry him, but my mother objects to him on account of his nationality. I would llke your advice on this matter. ALISON. Answer: My dear Alison, I have been much In China, and T am a great admirer of the Chinese nation. I have nevar met more brilliant, cultivated, fascinating gentlemen anywhere than I have in Peking and Shanghal. But “East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,” matrimonlally speaking, and I cannot concelve of any fate more terrible for an American girl than to marry any orlental. This is entirely wighout reference to the man himself, or his wealth, or his social status. If you marry a Chinese man, you will become, by law, a Chinese woman, subject to the laws and traditions that bind Chinese women. A Chinaman's firt wife s picked out for him by his parents, and it is not likely that a waalthy and aristocratic Chinaman's father and mother would select & forelgner for that exalted position, so you would probably start out as & sacondary wife, or concubine. At any rate, your husband would have many wives, and if 'you failed to have sonms, your position would be a most unenviable one. You are used to going about, to having a good time, to all ‘sorts of amusements. The lifc of Chinese women is, from our standpoint, one of ineredible dullness. They live shut up in the women's quarters with absolutely nothing to do but got nd how would you even gossip in a language that you probably never would be able to master? And you wauld have precious little other soclety, for there is small intercourse between the foreigners and Chinese in China. And worst of all, my dear, the Chinese man's mental attitude toward wamen is entirely different to that of thé American man, and he can no move. chango that than he can change his skin. For untold centurles the Ghinte have looked down on women ae inferior belage. Women have bean thalr slaves and their playthings, of no more value than the meanest animal. No veneer of education and culture can change this, and it would be practically impossible for a Chinaman to give to his wife the tenderness and consideration and the deference that an American/ woman demands of hew husband, and without which life is cinders and ashes and dust to her. > International marriages are rarely happy. Those between orientals ¥nd occidentals always bring misery on the woman. DOROTHY DIX. S “ e e R MISS DIX: I am a young man just in my tienties. I have a very kind uncle, Who offers to finance me if I wish to get a university edycation, which would take from four to eight years, depending on the coyrse. If T became highly educated, would this place a barrier between my fance, who has only a public school education, and myself? SELFISH. It would depend on the girl. ahe could keep in conversational distance with you by reading and improving harself, and generally widening her mental horizon. But if she Is one of the girls who do not read at all or who only read fqolish, trashy novels, 1 think that you would find that you had very little In common with her by be very dull company for you. On the other hand, you have to take your own tybe of mind into censideration. There are many men who do not care for intelligence in thelr wives. They prefer women who are ignorant and before whom they can pose s wiseacres. They like the kind of a woman who takes all of her opinions from her husband and who asks him what she thinke and what she shall do on all occasions. They like wives who are perpetual incense burners and who gasp with awe every time thelr husbands speak. J2 you belong to this complacent, self-conceited class of men, you will find it no drawback to your wife that she isn't your mental equal. """ But if you want companionship in & wife, a wife who talks your Haggusge and who s interested in just the things that vou are interested ip,-you had better stay on the same ‘hno as your sweetheart, or else wait 1 you get through school and select the kind of woman who appeals to you then. 0 ¥ Sonalder this: That efght years spent in study at & university will make of you an entirely different man.

Buying “Seconds.” All the world loves a bargain, and so when the sign, “Seconds, Greatly | Reduced!” 1s erected over a counter of desirable merchandise the alsles of that department are Immediately crowded to capacity with bargain- hunting shoppers. By “seconds™ is meant any kind of merchandise, from hardware to linens, in which some slight flaw in the weaving or manufacture has rendered the goods tmperfect, so that they are not fit for sale at the regular price. They.are shipped by the manufac turer to the Tetaller for sale at a substantial reduction, and the pur- chaser buys them with the full knowledge that they are imperfect and at her own risk. Always the guaranteed merchandise has the advantage from the shop- per's point of view, as It remove: from her mind at once any doubt as to the safety of her Investment. They sre safer for the inexperienced or uninformed shopper, or the woman who fears to trust her own judgment. However, as “seconds” always can be purchased at a_considerable reduc- tion, they may prove a real bargain to the woman who knows values; but since they are never guaranteced by the manufacturer, the shopper her- self must know how to recognize quality in the type of merchandise she is buying. Often it is possible to find real bargains in slightly imperfect kitchen utensils; but then again ‘“seconds" may be so uneven in the bottom that the vessel does not sit squarely; or in enameled ware there may be ex- posed portions of the under-metal, which consequently shortens the life of the pan.
