Chicago.-Receipt of a letter by
Chicago man recently, a letter which
should have brought employment and
happiness, caused the man who re.
ceived 1t to commit suicide The
strange story of how her husband, who
had long been out Of work, took his
life upon the receipt Of letter which
meant the offer of job and future
comfort is told by the suicides widow.
MY husband, after being long de-
spondent over sickness and his inabil-
ity to obtain position, in moment
Of weakness took my bank book,
which recorded small amount OF de-
post, and forged my name to check
Tor $12. I know that he used the
money in an endeavor to find employ.
ment and that he would have paid it
back to me, but fate willed differently"
said the widow, sadly.
Il discovered the forgery accident
ally when l went to the bank few
| days later.
| II was ushered into the presidents
office and told him my story. l >ex-
planned to him that my husband had
always been hard working and honest
and had never before committed an Of
tense Of any kind before, but that he
had been Respondent because of his in
ability to find work. The banker
seemed touched by my story and treat
ed me with the utmost kindness.
81 do not feel, said the bank Of
acial, that this is a case for the courts
ltseems that perhaps your husband has
| hppn loo vi nf c{r
stances. and think that If he is given
a chance he will be an honest man
henceforth. So strongly do l believe
this that I will show your husband
that every mans hand is not against
him. l am going to have him call upon
me and will give him a position in
the bank as a porter, and If he does
well l will make him a watchman. I
will write a letter to him at once
THE bank president wrote a letter
simply asking my husband to come
and see him. / went out to do some
work and did not return home until
evening. The letter had reached my
husband in the afternoon at home. I
suppose that since the letter did not
speak Of a position, and as my hus.
| pduu DIS COuSClOuS tHdt ne WAS guilty
Of the forgery. he became crazed with
the thought that his act had been dis
covered at the bank and that the letter
telling him to call meant that he would
soon be in the clutches of the law.
II suppose the terror of his posi-.
tion drove him insane, for he went into
a shed on the rear Of our lot and killed
himself by hanging. The letter. taken
out OF the envelope. was in his coat
pocket, a mute witness OF the cause OF
his self-destruction. found his body
later in the evening when l went to
the shed and was almost crazed with
grief, the sudden changes from despair
and fear to Joy and then again to hor.
ror and anguish being more than
could bear.
THE president of the bank has new.
er ceased to reproach himself for
what he terms his negligence in not
giving more complete explanation
when he wrote the letter. and since
my husbands sad death the kindly
bank Official has seen to It that l have
all the work at dressmaking that
can do"

velvet with the white satin and wing
trimming.
White trimmings on black hats are
to be the grand chic-so the milliners
say-and along with this notion travels
the fad for picOt-edged ribbon in black
and white. A tailored hat for first fall
wear has been designed by Virot to
accompany an autumn going-aWay cos
tune of black and white whipcord. ard
the striking thing about the rather
simple, girlish hat is the trimming of
white ribbon having a black picot edge.
A band OF the ribbon binds the edge of
the brim and a smart bow of it slants
backward at one side Of the crown. BY
the bye all hat trimmings slant now,

milliners call ''stiek-up" fashion The

This graceful sailor shape, made of
ly saucy roll to the brim, has been

to be the hat of the season, as far as
younger women are concerned The
