Show MEN ARE NOT THE MOTIVE. Wninim Do Not Don Tliclr rrrttlrit Vroclri to Win ltafcnllno Btnltrt. Thoro Is a fallacy confined, though, to tho mnscullno halt of society and that Is that women dress tor men. Ot course all women know better thar that and laugh at It In their aleeves at tho most ridiculous ot Ideas. Most ot them would like, though, to let men go on thinking so, but I don't care, so I'm going to toll, says a woman in the St. Louts Qlobo-Democrat. I think any creature who belongs to such a stupid box ought not to bo allowed If there is any way ot enlightening him to go on thinking that any woman would throw away tlmo and material to dresc tor him. Let me tell you, please, what I heard once. It was this: A woman of my acquaintance was clothed In a new nnd most beautiful dinner suit, which had cost hundreds ot dollarn. She wore It for tho first tlmo with an air of a quocn ah, me, who couldn't have worn It so? nnd looked as If sho had Just stepped down out of the latest Parisian fashion sheet. A man looked nt hor a man who had reached an ago whon ho ought to have had discretion dis-cretion nnd who was still not in his dotage looked at her and said; "That's your last winter's wilt, is It not?" I don't think I need to tell you more, but I will. Another human adult ot tho same sox told me once that my gown was very beautiful. It was a ten-cent lawn that I myBslf had made. So, of course, nil women aave up their bc8t clothca for people who can appreciate ap-preciate them, and thoee people are not men. |
