HER HUSBANDS HELPER
Ellen Adair Discusses The Virtues of the French Wife

Once upon a time that most delight
full of writers, Max o'Rel, made an
amusing after-dlnner speech on the sub
ject of wifely independence and wifely
submissiveness as perceived by himself in
different countries. In pursuance of this
interesting study the eminent author had
seated himself near the door in variety
of restaurants, where he could quietly
watch the entrance of the particular
couples whose matrimonial bliss he wished
to scrutlnize.
His deductions proved most entertain
ing. The English wife, he stated, came
In shyly behind her husband, looking
quite nervous and f1ustered her lord and
master preceding her with a majestic
and self-conscious frown upon his
countenance
The French couple, he said, came sail
ing in arm in arm, n beaming smile
upon the features of both monsieur and
madame.
The American combination did not APP
pear to him SO happy The wife marched
Into the restaurant first, determination
In every line of her face, while her little
submissive husband came meekly trot-
ting behind. This marital attitude struck
the eminent author as being peculiarly
significant of America
have frequently noticed that although
1t peases the Ensllshman to refer to his
wife ms his better half" he would be
the last man in the world to believe any,
things of the sort! But, on the contrary,
the Frenchman does! His wife Is some-
thing more than his right hand to him.

MODES OF
THE HOUR

Furs Will Be the Vogue This Season.
Attractive Combinations With Taf-
feta, Silk or Velvet Find Favor
With Creators of the Mode.
Beaver Coat Suit.
Fur and taffeta, fur and velvet, or two
kinds Of fur together, anything to lead
us away from the simple life and TO
make us give long long thoughts to the
ralment in which we are clad, is the law
this winter
A little fur goes long way when It
is combined with silk or velvet, or both,
and the three-pece sets made up in
this style, hat, collar and muff, are effec-
tive additions to the wardrobe and show
to great advantage with the plain tailored
suit
Monkey, Of course, can be used quite
happily zen combise," and 1t is dis
tinctly fashionable and not expensive, as
furs go. And II goat is palmed off as
monkey, It Is hard to see any harm in
1t, II one can't see any difference in
the hair.
The Russian cat knownrto polite soc-
ETY. as kolnsky, is also basking in the
sunlight of fashion, where 1t was placed
by the wave of the hand of Partisan
dictator Of dress.
Beaver returned to us in rather un-
ostentatlous manner, but in a quietly in
sistent way It is appearing on coat-suits
top-coats' and on an occasional evening
wrap.
Skunk has not allowed itself to be
pushed aside. and when fur is used to
the extent that is fashionable this sea-
son there seems to be room for all the
furs in Christendom.
After all is said and done, no matter
what rules are made by the self-ap-
pointed arbiters ms to what Is or Is not
fashionable, the woman who carries her
self with certain air and who possesses
distinction of face and voice and manner
can wear anything she pleases and create
fashion for herself.
To go on with the list again. there
is baby lamb and sealskin for coats, hats
mufs and collars and for banded trim
ming, and there is also ermine. one of
the lovelIest things in the world for the
debutante with a complexion of her own,
and lovely, too for babies.
Raccoon must not be omitted from the
list of fashionable furs nor can opossum
be excluded. 1t is very good form for
motor and top coats and thye maye an at
tractive addition to the plain suit or
one-piece dress.
The furs pictured today are sealskin
and fitch, a combination very much in
favor this year with the designers of
recognized taste and skill.
The barrel muff is not in evidence here,
possibly because the fitch shows to bet
ter advantage on a fiat surface.
A whole animal Is used and is held in
Its ohlique position by straps of seaskin.
The little animal looks caught and trapped
and rather pitiful, and one has the qualms
that come occasionally with both feathers
and furs
Another animal is used for the neck
piece in combination with the seal The
contrast between the very light fur and
the very dark is striking and undoubtedly
makes a very handsome set of furs and
one very much la mode

October's Soul

Soft days whose silver moments keep
The constant promise of the morn,
When tired equinoctials sleep
And wintry winds are yet unborn:
What one of all the twelve more dear
Thou truce and Sabbath of the year?
More restful art thou than the Nav.
And if less hope be In thy hand,
Some cares 'twere grief to understand
Thou hast as is the mothers way,
With mists and lights Of fairyland
Set on the borders of the day.
And best OF all thou dost begule
With color-friendlest thought of God.
Than thine hath heaven itself a smile
More rich? Are feet of angels shod
With peace more fair? o. month divine.
Stayl till thy tranquil soul be mine.
