was heartbroken-for a time. After
that time, of course, he fell in love,
married and was entirely happy.
The women were both his type. If
the first girl had not died, believe he
would have been equally happy with
her
So, l also believe it is perfectly pos
sible for a man or a woman to marry
twice and be in love both times.
Sometimes, of course, a man or wom-
an may make a mistake and the second
marriage may not be as perfect a one
as the first. But it may also be the
other way around. I know at least one
woman who certainly cared more for
her second husband than for her first.
Inasmuch as second marriages oc-
cur later in life l will add that the
the care free, passionate emotion Of
youth, but it may be none the less
strong and beautiful.
Then again material considerations,
such as a wish for home and a de-
sire to have some one to look after
motherless children may perhaps enter
in. But material consifera tons have
been occasionally known to. enter into
first marriages
The evidence now being in, tile judge
will sum up the case and leave it, as
she always must, for the jury to do it's
own deciding.
l think, while second marriages may
sometimes be business transactions,
there is no inherent reason why they
should be.

quite so many love marriages the Sec

EVENING"


Are second marriages business trans
actions or are there just as many love
marriages the second time as the first
someone writes to ask me?
1t is an inter sting question but
tremendously big one because it rests
on one of the greatest problems in the
fcrld-the nature of man and woman
love.
If you believe that each man in
the world is made for just one woman
I suppose l ought to say it the other
way, but I'm not going to-if you be-
lieve that love is matter of affinity
and all souls are paired off by Fate,
then you must also believe that no one
can possibly love twice and that if
the first marriage is a love one, the
second cannot possibly be.
For my own part, l do not believe
anything of the sort. 1t seems to me
perfectly absurd to say that there is
only one person with whom each of us
can be happy
On the other hand, | should be very
loath to go to the other extreme as
some people do and say that it is all
propinquity and that a man could
probably come to love any nice woman
into whose society he happened to be
thrown and vice versa.
l have thought about the matter
good deal and the conclusion to which
| have come is this-that it is partly
propinquity and partly congeniality.
l believe that if you are a woman
there is certain type of man in whom
you will naturally be interested and
if you are man there is a certain
type of woman who will naturally at
tract you. I believe that with any in
dividual of this type you can probably
fall in love-
l know a man who was practically
engaged to a certain girl. She was the
only girl in the world for him, he said

the straight front for a gown Of this
sort. The plated skirt was made on
the basis of the goods While the front
was cut on the straight and from being
very narrow at the waist the front
was curved outward widening the skirt
by two inches. In the bodice the front
was apparently carried upward the
sides and folded over. The shoulders
were on the bias to match the skirt.
The neck was cut in a slight V and a
pointed shawl collar of white embroid
cry was its finish with an inner yoke
and collar. The sleeves were long tight
fitting and ornamented with small jet
skirt and the waist. A black silk tie
and belt was used with black gloves
and hat.
Wraps of all sorts, loose. straight
sleeveless with immense armholes ex
tended into a winged piece that served
to cover the arm is much used for
the evening. A number of these fasten
on the left side with double rosettes of
frogs. and many are made in toga
style, that is, the upper piece that
fastens over is draped and fastened on
the shoulder with seam and outlined
with small buttons, while a larger
size-one or two-are used for closing.
The new sleeves are close fitting to
the elbow and just below are two Or
Sometimes the ruffles are headed with
band, sometimes the band lies be-
tween the two with the ruffles rel
versed to each other. Another sleeve
that is frequently seen is very like
these of the summer and we'll adapted
to heavier materials being cut in the
long coat sleeve style and finished with
points coming over the hand. A num-
Der of sleeves in the lighter gowns are
being made very long and slightly
riffled and held in place with a brace

this bracelet is made of braids or laces
or beads and clasped with a gold or
silver buckle

be seen this winter for the age we are
copying is one of decorative art. All
kinds of gold thread and inwrought
pieces will add to the trimming when

With the Small Farmer
WEAVING the Colt

The weaving period is a critical one
in the life of a colt The time at
which the youngster should be finally
separated from the dam depends upon
the condition of the mare and the age
of the colt If the foal was dropped
ip February or March, August is the
month to take ii away from the mare.
but if it was not dropped until May or
later, the weaving process will have t"
be deferred until September or along
in October
1t is best to wean ne colt gradually.
The common practice, however, IS TO
wean it at once by shutting it I'D i'll d
box stall, taking the mare away from
it. This is done with the idea Of saw
ing time and trouble The most suit
able way is to keep the colt away from
the dam two or three hours daily. III
creasing the time each day. finally
parting them some morning or some
evening
A daily feed of crushed oa;s, min
gled with a little chopped hay and
bran given to the colt week or two
before weaving will soon teach it to
be independent Of the mother, but
care must be taken not 20 allow the
mare to have access to the manager
while the colt is eating, as she would
probably eat it herself.
Before the colt is weaned it is inn
portant that it should have been han
died. To get a foal haltered, taught to
be led about. and to be able to handle
it, lift it's feet up, etc, without its
Offering any resistance is a work that
involves a certain amount of time,
but the time spent now is time saved
when the colt is old enough to be
broken in. If the colt meets with an
accident or falls victim to some OF
the numerous ailments to which horse
flesh is liable. a colt which has been
handled is far easier to doctor than
one which has never been touched.
After the mare and foal have been
finally separated the foal may be kept
in a box stall out of the hearing Of
other horses if possible for two or
three days, and it may be turned out

fiounces The front breadth was shorter
than the back and sides and decorated
with deep fringe which ended just on
the line with the sides portions. This
sverdress of the embroidered net also
had sleeves that came down to where
the messaline ruffles began. OF course
such a dress is trying to any but a

to overcome all but the greatest faults
of figure.

with plated skirt attached at the
widest point of the hips under a sash
Of yellow silk tied in bow knots at the
left back side. Two bands on each
side of the front of insertion gave a
narrow effect to the figure. The clos
ing was on the left side made with
three buttons put through three points
of the upper side which points came
over the band of insertion The upper
part Of the panel near the neck was
laid back like a reveE disclosing a
square lace yoke beneath
A frock that is similar to the prin-
cess was developed from pongee With
a plain back and front, sides plain to
the hips to which were attached plaits.
The fronts were decorated with bands
, at the sides and the yoke was made
of an interlacing of bands which bands
finished the short sleeves. A lace tuck
er with high collar and lace under
sleeves were the finishing touches to a
very serviceable gown
For rough outdoor wear this au-
tumn plaids and checks promise to
have great vogue. They are very styl-
ish and smart and are extremely serv-
iceable as well. For early autumn
wear nothing would be more modish
than lightweight tweed in a block,
grey and white check trimmed with
black buttons. A bit of color could be
introduced effectively if so liked. The

gown may have her chance to show
herself to advantage.
Sharp contrasts in trimmings are
likely to be seen this coming winter
and the desire for the touch of black
is quite in evidence One of the trim
ming ideas is. transparent work in
soutache and braids, the material be-
ling cut away to show the dress mate
rial. indeed cut out work is much
used.
The jet bandeau is seen frequently
and all jet trimmings seem to have a
good deal of a vogue and with certain
black and white effects are decidedly
smart. For instance l saw some very
fetching belts today of fine white silk
decorated with black jet cabochons of

various sizes, which worn with white
linen and a black jet breach and the
black velvet bracelets already spoken
of and jet buckles give fine effect.
White pique hats are much in evil
dence and are an economical idea. BY
the way rata hats are a novelty that
has taken and are light and pretty when
lined and trimmed becomingly.
New skirts are long, with plain
backs and fronts and tucked sides or
plated.
Negligees of dotted Swiss over silk
slips of becoming color are well liked
and nothing more dainty could be
found.
Gloves of channels and fabric are
used extensively and this is a good
lme to lay in the new stock.

NEW YORK. Sept 16.-In spite Of
of September nevertheless the design
ers and dressmakers are making their
preparations for the fall crusades 10
new modes and materials, and whether
the criticisms made of late both by
clergy and laymen will have anything
to do with their modification remains
to bel seen, but judging from what has
happened in the past women viii prob
ably go their own sweet way and con-
coct few more of the "monstrosities"
that have raised the ire of these fault
finders.
That We will see great number Of
gowns of the Moyenage type this fall
appears to be a settled idea in the
dressmakers circles. and as the cooler
weather arrives and a greater amount
of material can be carried without dis
comfort, it is not unlikely tht we may
see the straight tunic effects of some
other material laid over the gown. The
underdress must be the main color, alb
solutely well fitted trimmed with
Nuns hem. tucks or bands or en-
broidery or insertion. The upper part
of the gown forms the bodice yoke and
sleeves, while the tunic material, for
which there is a great demand for en-
broidered nets, are laid over, it in
straight folds. This sort of gown can
hardly be spoken of as a maybe" for
il is already fashionable and being or
dered into the new gowns for the fall

\ beautiful dress of the type was
developed from silver grey massaline
with a tunic of embroidered filet net
showing faint tints of green yellow and
pink and blue. The under dress was
made as a plain princess slip with two
deep fiounces about the bottom and at

in the daytime and brought up at
night
The future usefulness of a colt de-
Ponds very largely on how it is treated
during the first winter Of its exis-
tence; therefore, to do full justice it
is essential that il should be literally
but not lavishly fed from weanins
time till the time arrives the follow
ing spring to turn it out into som
luxuriant pasture for the summer. If
the weanling is thrown on its own
resources and left to hustle for it's liv-
ing on full pasture" and around straw
stacks, it is pretty sure to develop
into a scrawny colt and that means
later a matured horse not worth rails
ing But if good, nutritious foed, such
as oats. bran and good clover hay
are furnished, there will be no ques-
ton about it's developing into the best
kind of an animal that the breeding
will warrant To keep a colt on short
commons with the idea of reducing
the cost of the keep is, according to
the old saying, "cent wise and dollar
foolish"
The colt should have water at least
twice day, and a box containing two
or three pieces of rock salt should be
kept within it's reach at all times.
After the mare has left the foal,
steps must be taken to suppress the
secretion of milk, and with that OBJ
ject in view dry food and plenty of
exercise may be given. A small guam
tity of milk may be drawn away daily
by hand. Special care should be taken
that the mare does not become over
heated. as this is liable to cause. in
flammation of the glands and serious
trouble.
