When the visitor had departed Mrs
Roberts sat down and reviewed the
situation. Was her husband bossing
her? Was he humbling her to the
dust? Was he insidiously curtailing
her privileges? NO! Yes! Come to

lodge one night week?

COMING STYLE IN TRIMMING
Some Cardinal Points That Are Sure
to Be in Vogue for the Hats
of Fall.

If you propose to trim your fall hat
yourself, you cannot go far wrong If
you place a pert pair of wings or a
sharp pointed bow directly at the
back, and the back trimming must
show a trif1e above the high crown,
from a front view. Many OF the hats
may be reversed and worn any way
that proves becoming For example,
the smart little hat OF velvet with
rolled brim faced with a lighter col
ored material and having a pair OF
Mercury wings directly In front. might
be whipped around the other way If
one desired, so that the wings would
come at the back and the hat would
be equally modish and correct. This
hat has the very tail pointed tor
pedo" crown and is perfectly round
at the base. The crown IS covered
with brown velvet and the wings are
brown with flecks Of coral pink coIcr

Some folks wondered at the mar
rage between Stephen Roberts and
Clara Colby, and others admitted
that it might be good thing. Some
folks wondered because Stephen was
an old bachelor and set in his ways,
while the young lady was known to be
rather Eighty and f1irty Some admit
ted because they thought an old bach
elor was just the husband to make a
frivolous wife settle down
There Tas one thing Miss Clara
Dragged OF as girl, and that was that
nobody could manage her. Whatever
she wanted to do she would do Her
marriage wasn't going to make a bit
Of difference about that She said so
to Stephen His answer is not record
ed, but whatever it was he probably
did some thinking, and perhaps he
made up his mind to pursue a certain
policy
1t was weeks after the wedding be-
fore there was a clash The husband
made suggestion now and then, in
stead OF commanding or nagging
While they were only suggestions, the
young wife found herself following
them without opposition, and this
pleasant state of affairs might have
continued but for an even more frivo-
lous wife who dropped in one after
noon to say:

Christian era. Now we learn from a
Paris contemporary that the Emperor
Commodus possessed a similar car

Der, was the worthless son of a cele-
brated father, the Emperor known as
Marcus Aurelius through his Media

Commodus came to an untimely II

hero of about seven hundred gladia-

Put a Tax on Cats.

Puss is no favorite with the Nun
fch city councillors. They have now
decided to impose a tax on cats
The supporters of the new impost
contend that the keeping of cats
involves danger to the public health
besides frequently constituting a nui-
sance to the neighbors. When own
ers have to take out a yearly license
it is thought that cats will be better
cared for. It is hoped, too, that with
a lesser number of cats the wanton
slaughter of singing and other small
birds might be diminished This
measure of the Munich city council
is believed to be the first attempt
made by any government or local
