The black and white or gray and black
mixed cloths are popular for separate top
coats and are perhaps as practical for gen
eral separate coat wear as anything one
could choose, although, Of course, there
is nothing dressy about them. They are
smartest when semi-loose and severely
tailored.
Goats Of very light biscuit rough serge

Prizes for Model Husbands.

Twelve prize winning husbands were Sc
Iected by q COMMITTEES OF three women in
Chicago as models after which all other
perfect husbands should exemplify. The
twelve husbands have been awarded blue
ribbons for all the counts, including court
illness, iacing shoes, fastening gowns and
other husbandly duties. The affair at
which the awards were given was the oc-
casion Of the third annual husband show
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. S. Nc
Cullough, 512O Kenmore avenue.
Three women who have weighed hun
dreds Of men In the balance and found
them wanting were the judges.

fast enough to win a prize?" tainted one
woman to her husband, who was among
the also ran.
'TYoul After all the practice you had
last week, to think that you would let

This and q thousand other denuneia-
tons were heaped on the heads Of the
eleven husbands whose teeth were not
straight, could not guess within 4 cents OF
the price of a hat or failed to fasten fifty
seven buttons in record time.
The stunts which these exhibits IN
cluded in their PAGES left them faint and
gasping. They were asked to dress In
street costume a lay figure which had been
provided with a glove fitting costume. They
tied their wives shoestrings under the glar-
ing gaze OF three judges armed with stop
watches. They were forced to guess the
price Of a picture hat and sew on buttons
without prioking their fingers.
Their teeth were counted. their feet
measured n their frecklss counted. They
were made to run, trot, pace and canter.
The judges made each promise to buy them
a box OF candy before announcing the
decision.
