swearing is an escape valve. and that as
a way of letting off steam 1t beats all
other methods yet devised.
Yet to women this very safety valve Is
denied; no matter how great her need she
must not profit by 1t, She must express
her emotion In some other way, while
most men, no matter what their age, race,
color or previous condition of ~servitude,

Everybody has heard the story of the
woman whose husband fell In love with
her at q dinner when the waiter spilled
the soup on her frock- The SOUP was very
hot and very greasy, there was a lot of
1t, and the frock was very pretty; but
save a smiling, well-bred ''Oh, it doesn't
matter in the least" the girl never said
a word. Not by look or syllable lid she
show that she was at all annoyed or per-
turbed. That's the sort of disposition
I'm after" said the man to himself, and
he shortly proposed and was accepted.

upon the past. had occurred, he one day
observed:--Do you know, my dear, how
I happened to fell in love with you? 1t

is a TINY crown of the cream velvet. COW
cred with a pattern in seed pearls. 1t is
put on beretta fashion. and yet only
boasts of a diamete of three and a half
inches at the most.
Choux of cream chiffon are tackled on
each side of the crown and reach nearly
TO the ears. The only bit of color is a
twist and knot of bright pink velvet,
with a sivery sheen that suggests the
frosty heart of a watermelon.
Another theatre bonnet, more suitable
for matrons. was made or the same gem

ferent. The small crown was of dahlia
satin, embroidered in gold, and follow
ing the base of the crown were tiny
punches of gold and purple h~eaxtsease.

one of these was a toque with a covering
OF white satin. embroidered in silver and
straw. Around the edge were choux of
white and green tulle, and at one side a
tail bunch of mistletoe.

work such havoc with picture hats.
English corduroy will enter into some
of b most fashionable day gowns of
the late autumn and winter, n will be
especially popular in dark green and in
its familiar gray shades, combined with
brown cloth trimmed with black. a quaint
arrangement of color that rivals the popu-
larity of green with black or of suede
with green.
A stylish imported gown has a redin-
cote of cloth finished in tailor style and
over a shirt of corduroy. The cape
collar, revers and cuffs are also of cor,

made up. with a redingote of dark Rus

vest collar and cuffs of suede cloth, over
laid with green and gold braid.
