A Everv hardened bachelor blames his "lonely state" on the fickle and Xlirta.iovs women: whereas, there would be no flirtatious women If thero were no hardened bachelors for them to practice on.

Nobody is so irritating- saintlj as the man who has been on the water TraRon for just twenty-four hours, or the woman who has Just grazed through a flirtation without belnp: It is insulting for a man to ask for a Uss when he might simply tako it without trying to place all the responsibility on her. The man who takes longest to make up his mind to marry is apt to find the plums and peaches in the garden or Love have turned Into prunes by the time he is ready. A man feels toward a lot of pretty wemen somewhat as a girl does when she faces a soda-fountain: it is almost as hard for him to choose between blond and brunette. Mabel and Maud, as it is for her to choose between strabwerry and chocolate or a svndae and a phosphate. A iran doesn't think he can keep young unless he has a new flirtation every now and then but it never seems- t-i occur to him that the same old sentimental menu may cause his wife a touch of heart-fag.

too. One of the things a woman admires about a man is his strength of efearactei, the fine, masculine will-power, which enables him to resist any temptation on earth that doesn't happen to appeal to him. Oh! Oh! Women of Mode: The Zoo's Out By MARGARET MASON. Behold the lady a la Zoo Her stunning hat and gown arc "gnu; She wears a monkey jacket smart, And lace is lion o'er her hart; Her throat is fust a little horse; Her fingers tapir, and of course Her snoxvy neck's a little bear.

Class for Employers, Too, and a Uniform Wage Scale as Well as an Employment Bureau Are Included. To solve the servant problem for Washington is a staggering task. But that is what the Housekeepers' Alliance has undertaken. The alliance does not hope to accomplish it over night. It intends to establish a school of housekeep ing, in which colored girls will be trained for domestic service, and which will place them first in homes of members, from which they may be graduated to homes outside the club circle.

Hitherto the club has avoided publicity in this project, but now, on the eve of its fulfillment, Mrs. Guion Miller, president of the alli ance, has made the first announce ment of plans for readers of The Times. Mrs. Miller, one of the most ac tive club women in wasnington, analyzes the servant problem and also makes public a project for establishing a woman's club home, in which all the leading women's clubs of the National Capital will be housed. By J.

R. HILDEBRAND. "Washington is the worst city in the United States In which to obtain help. That should not be so. for experts agree that the colored servant is the best sort that can bo had.

She is superior to the foreign, including the Oriental, and even to the white servant. But the colored woman must be trained to be worth anything." Stating this premise. Jlrs. Guion Jllller. of 1S22 Iimont street, president of the Housekeepers' Alliance, today made the first announcement of plans looking to an ultimate solution of the servant problem in Washington.

The Housekeepers' Alliance is going to undertake the great task of bringing into a working re-latlcnship with its own 150 members an equal number of colored girl properly tnined. and hopea afterward to broaden the scope of its work indefinitely. The establishment of a sehool of housekeeping is to be the first step in carrying out the project. Jlrs. Jllller Is one of Washington's most active club women.

She is a'so affiliated with the Twentieth Century Club, of which ftho. was president for two terms: the College" Woman's Club, and tho Federated Clubs. In wnlch she Is a moving factor. She hopes to bring these clubs into co-operation with the Housekeepers' Alliance in its plan for untangling the problem of household help. Difficult Handicaps.

We are going to have an employers' class At least half the trouble in keeping help in Washington lies In tho fact that women do not know how to handle servants," said Jlrs.

Jllller. "If their husbands downtown, treated emploves the- way their wives treat servants, their business would go to smash. 1 do not mean they are wilfully eruel. They are thoughtless; that Is all. And we purpose to have a course in household efficiency for club members so that the employer will be as much on her job as will the servant wei turn over to In r.

Jlrs. Jllller is fostering another project in which she hopes to enlist the Interest of a dozen of the principal woman's clubs of Washington. The Twentieth Century Club, the Housekeepers' Alliance, and the College Woman's Club already have taken it up. A woman's club home is Jlrs. Jill-le-r's other project.

None of tho above named clubs, she pointed out. have club rooms The alliance meets iu the parlors of Its members, often too small to hold the fJO members and guests who usually attend Other clubs meet in rented rooms, which also are inadequate. It is Jlrs. Jllller's aim to get a number of the clubs interested In the Idea of having a joint club home, whero ample facilities for meet ng would bo provided and club rooms where- committer; meetings might bo held and the members mingle socially. At first, she purposes to rent a building, and later, she believes, a building fund sufficient to erect a club house might be raised.

Ketumlng to the plans for the se-hool of house-keeping, which the alliance hopes to start this spring, Mrs. Jill cr, explained that the standardization of wages was one of the ultimate aims of the movement "We expect to have our members agree upon a reasonable wage. This won't be an agreement In rest! nint of servant trade.

Investigation will likely prove that she is wearing one of the real swagger hatsteing exhibited here." Jumping with 6reat gusto into the pun column, it may be said that the lid was taken off for society women at the Ritz-Carlton today, where the collection of Paquin gown's and other feminine watchamacallits are being exhibited.

A majority of die hats are small and are pronounced just "too sweet." With one gown exhibited today the model wore the skillet hat. It sits as far on one side of the head as the law of gravity will permit, the long "handle" shooting skyward and tipped by something of other which milliners probably have a name for. Then the cymbal hat. Ifs a regular lid a vast flat plain with a little round knob, a la cymbal, in the center which serves as a crown. The general effect of having opened a 'huge oyster and put oqe of the'half shells on either side of the head was presented in another hat.

The "shells" are prevented from closing up on the head of the wearer by dainty chin straps which would prevent any great movement either way. Goine back to the kitchen, some one hit on the" lid of a roasting, pan as a good pattern for a hat, and it was exhibited with the others. The lid goes on the head just as it would go on the pan. Still another was built along the general lines of an old man's- skull cap with a weather-vane attachment of two wings extending fore and aft atop. There were many hats suggesting the period when bustles were worn and the' little head pieces appeared to be in deadly peril of bobbing off at any minute.

The women have the men to it in going back to sideburns as a facial adornment From under the hats creep curls which put the best patterns of galways displayed in the old prints to shame.
