Ddionde we might also add the passing of the straight front corset, In fact, few women wear corscts at all in Paris.” “What about pantaloons and the Oriental woman?” I asked. “Absolute stuff and nonsense,” laughed Mrs, Posner, although sho ad- mitted that pantaloons and Turkish trouser offects are decidedly Oriental. “But you wil] never get the French woman to give up her short skirts,” she added. “Sho knows when sho looks well; and styles may come and styles may g0, but short skirts go on forever with her. gowns, a number of them black as a background and then loaded with beads, tinsel embroideries and all sorts of gay colors to represont the Oricntal, but the skirts will all be decidedly short.

Milady is simply loaded with black jet bracelets and onyx with pearls; Beads of all the colors of the rainbow are wrapped and en- twined about her. But her little brown hands wear but ono ring, usually upon the third finger of the left hand. And oh, what a ring! It is @ large diamond surrounded by & flower-like design of hosts of little diamonds set in platinum. A few sapphires and emeralds sometimes complete the design, but usually it consists of one glare of diamonds.” “And if all our fizzy headed beau- ties with bobbed hair decide to let their locks grow and to become Orien- tals, can you assure them that they ‘will look as attractive as in the past?” I said, reminding Mrs, Posner that it would take a lot of grit to change from a Gretchen to a Hindu over night, i i i : tf if i seen a score of beau- transformed into the most adorable little Oriental maids you can imagine,” said Mrs. Posrer, "and I’ have been admiring the French women and their fads and tardies for several seasons, but I must admit I never saw them so at- tractive as when assuming the color- ings and effects of the Far East.” So there you are.

San- derson) Will Retain Home in Madison, Conn.; Satisfied to Have Hubby Live in Bridgeport; Both Will Share New York Apartment for Week-Ends; Financial Affairs on a Fifty-Fifty Basis; Did Not Marry to Be Her Furnace Tender. By Marguerite Moocrs Marshall Copyright, 1919, by The Prose Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World) HIS is a story of the very newest 1919 model marriage. Nina Wilcox Putnam, novelist and feminist, has just become TL the wife of Robert J. Sanderso’ “Miss Nina Wilcox Putnam,” although Putnam was the é name of her late husband, Robert Faulkner Putgam, a member of the well known publishing firm and nephew of George Haven Putnam, Miss Putnam, and Mr, Sanderson will be economically independent, Each will wear a wedding ring. The sole reason for their marriage and its only significance is old-fash- loned, romantic love, “I believe in monogamy,” this bride with the curfous mixture of new and old ideals assured me, “It ought not to be called a failure, for the sim~- ple reason that it has never been tried—by society as a whole, I mean, On the one hand, there have been all the evasions, the hypocritical ar- rangements tolerated by a professed- ly moral and monogamous civiliza- tion, On the other hand, the mono- mous union of one man has been linked up with so many irrelevant conditiona—the joint household, the woman's skill as a cook, her depen- dence on the man as a breadwinner, All such details are just amendments, often mischievous, tacked on the treaty of love and loyalty. which is all marriage should mean, “I'm sure you didn’t marry me be- cause you wanted a housekveper,” she added, turning with a smile in her dark eyes and a caressing movement of her plump, white hand toward Mr, Sanderson, who sat between us at a breakfast table in the Brevoort, where he and his bride were finishing their four-day honeymoon, “And I know,” continued piquant, exceeding- ly pretty Miss Putnam—to conform to her preferred nomenclature—“that I didn’t marry you because I wanted & man Ground the house to take care of the furnace.” Mr, Sanderson smiled quietly, quis- ically, and returned the affectionate ce with compound interest, He i m unusually tall and lean young man, with .a pleasantly weather- bronzed face and shrewd, blue eyes. He had already observed that he was going to be deaf, dumb and biin during the interview—quite the ideal afflictions for a normal male in the APART IN Now England Telephone Company. The two of them will live under separate roofs, not even in the same town, and will visit each otaer or run away together for week-ends, The bride will not call herself “Mrs, Sanderson,” but Sort MARRY You to Be His Cook, Nor He} nm, district manager for the Southern separate’ roofs is not final. In the future we are likely to change our arrangements, as I’m going to remind Mrs, Sanderson—for I shall call hen that if nobody else does!" “I admit it,” promptly and docilely responded the author of that funniest of the fall books, “ jeve You Me," and of other delightful stories, “But just now we are not going in for the nest business, I have my country home in Madison, Conn, and Mr. Sanderson lives in Bridgeport. His business demands that he travel a great deal, id I need a certain amount of solitude for my work. When [ feel a story coming I want to write it instead of pouring the coffee at breakfast, We shall keep an apart- ment in New York which we shall share for our playtimes, We plan to run away together for our week-ends and share our fun instead of our drudgery,” “As a matter of fact,” Mr, Sander- son quietly intervened again, al- though his wife shook her head at him and tried not to blush, “I have to keep after her to make her do the work she ought to saccomplish—in- stead of wasting all her time on me!” “That's another reason why two people who are fond of each other ought not to live together,” she con- ceded, with a half rueful smile. “There is a constant temptation not to get any work done at all!" By this time my private conviction that a modern marriage may be short on convention but long on romance had been reinforced strongly. So I asked with cheerfulness how they were going to manage their money af- fairs, “We shall be economically indepen- dent,” declared Miss Putnam. “Each of us is earning @ living, and all our | arrangements will be on a fifty-fifty basis, Of course”—again a becoming smile and dimple—"sometimes one of us may be ‘broke’ and sometimes the | other, But in the end it will work | out into equality and a joint sharing of expenses.” ¢ “Which doesn't mean"—once more Mr. Sanderson firmly manifested his presence—"“that. when I buy her a bunch of violets I charge it up to the joint accoun' Then he was called away to the telephone, During his absence his wife explained the Putnam-Sanderson platform on the question of her name and their wedding rings. “It was Mr. Sanderson's own idea that we should each wear a rinj she said, “He told mo he didn't think it was fair to ask me to wear one unless he did, too, That seemed to me very fine of him, so we were circumatances—but at this point he iy rite fe. where the bell may be conveniently long, brown fi bi ee DE, ppaee over ble matter of our baving ial Sst married with the double-ring service and we each have a gold band. “As for 7 nee it is the one have written for years, under which sa i cl TO Be your” _ THE MODEL 1919 MARRIAGE; _ BRIDE AND GROOM TO LIVE DIFFERENT TOWNS and I am going to keep it, although it did belong to my Brat busband. Neturally, Mr. Sanderson doesn't ex- actly like the idea, but we have talked it over and decided there is nothing else for me to do. A woman writer of my acquaintance, married for the second time, told me it has cost her at least two thousand dollars to make her new name as valuable, profes- sionally, as her previous one. Where IT made my mistake was in writing under my first husband's name, in- stead of my name before [ was mar- ried at all. However, I shall be ‘Miss’ Nina Wilcox Putnam, I don’t see why married women any more than mar- ried men should be singled out ana branded with a special title. One’s sex status is one’s own affair.” “Then if marriage doesn’t mean to you support, or housckeeping for your husband, or even ‘Mrs.’ what does it mean?” I asked. In her answer Nina Wilcox Putnam voiced the faith which many other modern women be- dea myself share with her. Marriage means love, remantic love, founded on trust and managed with intelligence. Marriage means that I enjoy being with my husband more than any one else in the world, and that I am resolved not to rub off the bloom from our romance by mak- ing it too commonplace and everyday. Of course, I believe in marriage. And I am So tired of these women who make an alibi for their own unhappi- ness, thelr own mistakes, by holding up MARRIAGE as a failure!” “So—am—I,” viewer. confessed this inter- Two-Minute Speeches For Busy Men By Copyright, 1019, Matthew J.

For a month The Evening World has been receiving hundreds of letters daily from sincere readers who have availed themselves of the offer of the Character Analysis Editor to analyze their vien as well as their sweethearts’ handwriting. The following articic reveals some interesting observations upon these letters. By the Character Analysis Editor Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Oo. (The New York Evening World.) 1TH the trend of the times to- fluences of life, graphology, the science of character reading by handwriting, is possibly the must ac- curate of all other methods. Phrenology and palmistry, for in- stance, limited in their use and ap- Plication, are not always certain in results, as they both necessitate the personal presence for character analysis, Writing, however, {s an accumula- tive number of hand and finger movements made by tho pen, which always remain visible and station- ary; only changing gradually, ac- cording to the development or disap- Pearance of certain traits. The origim of graphology really dates back to ancient times, when letters and inscriptions were carved Into stone, or engraved upon bronze, and gauged, according to the crude or finished workmanship of the arti- san, but there was little individuality displayed in this style of writing; neither, also, in the Graffitt!, in Pom- peli or Rome, recording the daily happenings of the town, which might be considered somewhat in the class of the caligraphic writings of our clerks and copyists of to-day. Even with the transference of these characters and letters to linen, leather, skin, or paper, individual characteristics were rare, while the beautiful illuminated manuscripts of the monks of the middle ages served more to depict the people and pe- riod, rather than the character of the writer himself, and were classed as miniature paintings. However, it was different when writing became more widely used for individual and private purposes, and in the seventeenth century, an Italian, Dr. Camillo Baldo, Issued a little pamphlet on graphology. interesting, but containing no system, Then such men as Lavater and Goethe took up the study, followed by others. France, however, supplies the most thorough and satisfactory results along this line, and the Jesult monk, Abbe Michon, gave us the first scien- tifle system in character reading by handwriting, in his work “Le Systeme de Graphologie.” The Figaro, one of the daily jour- nals of Paris, has, on several occa- sions printed from handwriting spe- cimens full descriptions of the char- acters of prominent candidates for political offices. This puts graphology on a prac- tical basis. In fact were it more fre- quently consulted many — mistakes could be avoided. For instance, in the selection of a clerk for a position of trust; then again what a help it would be to a physician in verifying the disposition and temperament of his patients, to the lawyer in dealing with his clients, and to the pastor in knowing from what side to approach men and women regarding spiritual matters. How many unhappy m: riages could be prevented. Again, grapholdgy would be helpful to parents in bringing up and settling the career of their children. Why not strengthen and encourage quali- tles in a child where success stands written out boldly, instead of making a business man of a natural born preacher or artist. But most of all it aids him who de- sires to know himself in combating his weak points and developing the strong ones, Within the past few weeks hun- dreds of specimens have passed through the author's bands, which have given much food for thought by the constant repetition of certain tendencies. Possibly the surface unrest and lack of proportion in most, things sweeping over the face of the world to-day have had their subconscious influences in the hurried, nervous, unsettled writings of the present moment, beginning and ending with the word extravagance chiselled as MADE IT WORSE, R. PLAIN—You are sure to ad- mire him, he's a strikingly handsome man, The Girl—l'm glad he is, I simply detest homely men. (Suddenly start- ing blushing), Oh, I beg your pardon; I didn't mean to say that, Boston Tran- clear as a cameo, Men and women alike seem to be afflicted with the spendthrift mania, the . pendulum swinging even further to tho side of tho latter. Indications are that, extravagance elimins‘ed, many women have the making vf excellent wives and moth ‘The same thing as husbands applies to the men. However, with the exception of this trait, there is little similarity be- tween the characteristics of the sexes. It is curious to note in many ef the feminine apecim certain lack of candor, due to the instinct all women have for concealing, as com pared with the courage and ¢rank- ness of the men. Another point of difference ts the masculine grasp of the real moon- ing of graphology, shown in the di- rect questions pertaining to charae- ter analysis only, while in maby tn- stances the feminine view, displayed in ambiguous and irrelevant tm- quiries, persists in soaring into the realms of romance, totally ignoring the fact that character reading by handwriting bears no relation what- soever to clairvoyance. Hence it is needless to say that in most cases the men’s questions are more réadily and satisfactorily answered. Also a certain modesty and shyness evident in men proves concluswely that in affairs of the heart the eex ig the eternal boy, while the yearn- ing tenderness and anxiety in the woman for the welfare of her mate betrays the perhaps dormant ma- ternal instinct.
