Family disagreements and quarrels
are not so unusual that they create
great surprise when they get into the
publicity of the news columns. And
there is an amazing percentage of such
differences which are never allowed to
get into print, but which eat out love
of friends and family ties with the
virulency of acid.
Money matters and friendships
money matters and love-money mat
tiers and happiness-they are all sub
jects for special articles but the mat

II people were not so afraid of that
strange and intangible thing-feelings

business and will pay good interest.

So much for the emotional arrange

case the law will not help. 1t will

So, In either case, the sister loses
when the simple lines of writing
would have saved her. But she could
not hurt brothers feelings by asking
for what was merely a right.
Two friends embark on specula'

low 1t to be made OF either wide or mar
row materials. The skirt has four cores
and at the center of the front and back
the cloth is turned back and stitched to
give the effect of o slot seam. At each
sioe is a real slot seam with strip
of material sewed underneath the
turned-back edges of the material. A
skirt of this description will be excellent

suitable for either long or short skirts
and may be trimmed with buttons or
