One--of these little Dora wives had
reached the brink of matrimonial un-
happiness and her feet were already
trembling over the dark waters
Her particular David had always
been the most devoted husband, until
lately when he found his home occu-
pied by a mother law. a sister-in-
law and various other relatives of his
wife. Dora had weakly allowed this
invasion OF her home, and her kind
heart could not bear the idea of saying
mo" to any of her kin The cOnse-
quence was that her husbands home
no longer belonged to him, and being
a very uncomfortable place, he avoided
it as much as possible, and Dora looked
out Of the window and watched for
him, until an older woman of her own
kind came and pointed out her failings
You'll have to choose" said the
older Dora, whether it is worth while
sacrificing a perfectly good husband to
the within of your own family. You
chose him, and it Is up to you to stick
to him. You have virtually given his
house away. His wife's time no longer
belongs to him, so, naturally, he doesn't
come back. If you prefer the others.
go with them. but this is a house di-
vided, which can not stand, and you
will be the loser"
And little Dora gathered up her cour-
age and gave formal notice to her rela-
tives that the house was David's. and
he would have to come first They left
in high dudgeon but happiness and Da-
vid returned.

Do you wish to make up that you
may quarrel once more? 1t looks like
it, and that would be a foolish waste of
emotion and time. You say she came
back each time; if you really must

beg pardon. l am sorry she has eaten
so often of humble pie without demand
ing that you eat your portion.

the present style of one-piece dresses

ideal sort of frock for young girl

girl is taught to carry herself upright,

this: With long-waisted dress, an

around the smallest part Of the body.
This prevents free breathing and with
this style some kind of corset is a
necessity.

effect is excellent without corset.
The plan would encourage girls to
take care how they stand or walk or
