Men PuZZlerS Offer Proof
That Chivalry NotDead

THE subject OF this weeks contest
seems to have touched a sensl-
i tive spot in the masculine breast,
for MANY men have joined our
circle IN an effort TO prove that the ac-
cusation that chivalry IS dead is fall
lacy. Among the many letters received
from them this morning is one from
Harris MarsGsn. which reads:
at IS easy enough for man to per-
form some act Of great bravery in
moment Of tremendous excitement,
such as saving q woman In a big fire,
or from drowning. but the time when
real chivalry and gallantry is put to the
t'st is in HE every day life.
II have the pleasure of the friendship
OF man who has some sense Of JUS
Iice toward q woman. He knows when
he leaves the house each morning that
his wife has The children five in num-
ber), 10 get ready for school, the break
fast dishes TO wash. the sweeping TO
do, lunch 10 prepare, clothes to make
and mend. and thousand and one other
duties TO perform, as q consequence Of
which he tries TO make an equable di-
vision of those duties left to the wife
when his have been matched with hers
and shares them with her.
He sees to it that she has as much
change OF environment and as much
recreation as he has throughout each
week. and. in spite Of their very modest
means. she is thus not burdened with
work up 20 the very breaking point as
is the case with so many mothers Of
large families.
'Ts not an Inherent chivalTy which
PROMPTS this mans daily action Of great
er moment than the impulse of a mo-
ment's excitement which causes men to
risk their lives for the saving OF others?

should begin at home"

NARROW STRIPES
GOOD IN TRIMMING

Fine stripes are seen a good deal,
chiefly in serges and linens. The back
ground IS usually white and the stripe
black or a color quite narrow and about
half an inch apart
Trimming with the stripe IS often very
cieverly done. For instance, the stripes
viii run lengthwise through the body OF
the gown and be arranged going around
the fyure IN the form Of a broad band
attached 10 the bottom Of the skirt

It is worth while that we jostle a

Bearing his load on the rough road
Of life2
It is worth while that we jeer at each
