Why is it That ftfl Qnnn a see that he is so much in love with me that I can make him do anything I wish. I lose interest in him? I think want to De mastered. I want a man to sweep me so entirely out of my own mind that I can think of nothiug but him. read of the splendid lovers of bygone days and wish I had, lived then. The heroes of the old romances who fought for their lady loves appeal to me so much more than the men nowadays.

What do you think of a girl like this? I really regret it. "GUIXEVERE." I think you ought to meet a prize fighter! What do you mean by "being mastered." anyway? There are so many girls who say they have the same symptoms that you define that I should like to analyze your case. The greatest Master the world has ever had conquered by kindness. But you appear to be rather short in appreciation for that kind. If a man loves you till he wants to be and do what you like, you give him the refusal courteous.

And it's a sure sign of their ignorance. Could you love a man whose acquaintance with water was limited, and whose knowledge of the gentle uses of soap was positively nil? That is they way they were then. Even if he carried a spear and rapped you a good manly clap with it, then seized you by the iiair and dragged you to his castle, I fancy you would still miss the soap. You girls who want to be mastered always make me suspicious. There is always the insinuation that you have hordes of weak-willed men lying about your feet, so lackadaisically loving that they cannot stand upright and swing a good right arm to beat you to submission.

looking for love as an emotional gymnasium, nor does he seek a girl who expects him to make a home run every other minute, and to strike out on every ball. He wants repose and comfort, the peace of congeniality, the animation of gentle sportiveness; he Is looking for the kindly, heart-warming flame that radiates and soothes and delights. So I don't believe you girls at all when you assert that you can bump and bruise your admirers and they still ar supine in adoration. Men are not made that way! And you always imply that the mastery must be something almost wholly physical. I give you my word that every one of you I have met has seemed the type whom a man of average intelligence and common sense could completely overmaster.

I do not know what this "mastery" is which you want; and I strongly si'spect you do not. either. When married men "master" their wives with clubs or bottles, they get into court. I heard of a woman who wanted a master marrying a cab driver. But I never heard how it turned out.

The grounds surrounding the United Presbyterian Home for the Aged at Trenton and Penn avenues, Wilkinsburg, presented a brilliant appearance yesterday afternoon and evening when the annual lawn fete was held by the United Presbyterian Woman's Association. Attractively decorated booths were placed about the lawn, those for lemonade, candy, the toy snop, common sense articles and the French shop being directly in front of the house.

At the side were tables for ioe cream and cake, while on the lawn at the rear were the supper tables, prettily decorated with vases of summer flowers. A canopy of green and white bunting was suspended over the cake tables, the same colors being used at the common sense booth and at the toy shop, the latter being made to represent a summer house. The lower part of trie booth, which was round, was covered with tiled paper in two shades of green, plain paper in the lighter shade being used over the top and sides. The candy table was entirely in white and both It and the lemonade booth, which was decorated in yellow and white, were made doubly inviting with quantities of flowers. Suspended from the large trees were ropes of Japanese lanterns and immense flags were draped around the verandas of the home.

The day was perfect, and when the card announcing the 5 o'clock supter was put up. throngs gathered to procure tickets. Supper was served from 5 until 8 o'clock, all the tables being filled many times. Many small money donations were received at each booth, which, in all, will amount to, quite a nice sum. The general committee included Mrs.

The fund stood at $5,445, and the traction company's gift, with more received in five small subscriptions, brought the sum up to $7,515. As toward the approach of Independence Day subscriptions usually flow more freely, there will be plenty of money for the celebration, especially as council probably will appropriate S1.500. In addition the Pittsburgh Board of Trade is soliciting subscriptions in the East End for the celebration in Highland park, and on the Xorth Side banks and business firms are contributing to the doings there.

Black Russia leather pumps have plain steel buckles. Shoe buckles at set upward now, not i flat as formerly. The coronation season promises to be one of brilliant colors. Black patent leather pumps have quiet or brilliant decorations. Trimming with dotted foulard is promised to be iptite a fad.

Beads are used to give stri'red effects on mousseline de soie. Jeweling lace is one of the sartorial schemes of coronation year. Many lingerie robs are rif the open meshed voiles and marquisette. Xovelty mohair in white and colors is supplanting linen for spring suits. The newest sailor collars are very deep in.

the back and hardly existing in front. Bead fringes are a fad of the moment. Satin slippers of every shade may be had. Coats in many instances show pointed backs and fronts. postillion outlines, "swallow-tall" shapes and irregular lines.

It is very evident that the new millin- ery will not be confined to any hard and i fast fashion or to specified sizes. Never I has the variety been more infinite, the I colorings more artistic, the results more fetching. Pioue. mercerized poplins, linen, crepe, madras, either plain, embroidered, figured or striped, are ttie fabrics em- ployed in the new soft talored neckwear, which is severe without being masculine in effect. Hat trimmings run to Mowers and the combination of the largest and the tiniest on one hat is tne latest idea, lehl anrj garden flowers also hobnob on the same and natural colorings are given i little attention.

Combinations have firmly established their place in the underwear modes, es-peciallv for spring and summer wear. Drawers and corset cover and skirt and corset cover share favor equally, and the three-piece style is also seen. Tiicr is a tendency to elaborate skirts with braids, bands, folds, buttons, fancy panels and trnres. fashion having evident- iy tired of the plain bag-like styles of the past season or two. Ankle lengths at I present prevail for the street.

At high noon today Miss Katherine Davis Brown, favorite granddaughter of former United States Senator Henry Gassaway Davis, and destined to inherit a large share of his millions, was married to Lieut.

Two hours after landing she received her first letter from her father in that time. Her father is Fazlollah Ashraf, a government surveyor, to whose home all English and American visitors to Teheran always go fur the daughter, Ghodsea, was one of the lew women who spoke English, and could entertain the travelers. Since she left home the five Americans sent over bv the government to assist the Persians in planning the various reforms along industrial, agricultural, educational, social arid other lines proposed bv the new constitutional government, reached Teheran and a letter from her brother a few days ago shows the general regret that sne was not there to help them to enter-(ain the Americans and their wives, who have accompanied them on their mission to Persia.

"The Persians are very fond of the Americans," said Miss Ashraf, "and planned a big demonstration for the nva American commissioners, meeting them outside the gates of Teheran and later giving them a brilliant reception within lne h.e France of the of its women, with meir omen, nair ana eyes ana swarthy- complexion, and the poise and charm of manner inuicaua Dy their representative now in this country, a young woman of 22 years, does not belie the term. European dress has been almost universally adopted in Persia, together with European furnishings and customs. Although a greater freedom is allowed the women since the granting of the constitution they are still not allowed to meet with men outside their own family. But Cupid can circumvent even such an ironclad custom, and as Miss Ashraf naively remarked yesterday "the veils the women wear are thin so that they may see through them, and while a proposal of marriage is made to the parents the girl still has the privilege of rejecting an unwelcome suitor. The announcement of the proposal, she said, is not made by the parents to their daughter but a girl friend of her own age is selected who teils the news to the girl and acts as an intermediary in the case.

The Persian women are fond of games which they play in the gardens in inner courts of the Persian houses, and onlv members of their own sex are invited to their entertainments. The veil has not yet been discarded by the Persian women and girls, although some of the more progressive men permit and even advise the women In their families to go out in public without it, knowing that the adoption of new ideas wiil come with the gradual working out of the new constitutional liberty. The deposed shah is an exile in Russia, and Russia is readv to gobble up Persia should the present government become unstable, declared Miss Ashraf. But modern education and vari-ious reforms are being pushed by the regency while the present shah, a bov of juss snrai treai-granoratner was prominent educator in Persia, her grandfather was distinguished in support of the nation, and her father is now in close sympathy with the present government. Dr.
