High collars are returning TO favor and
this waist gives evidence Of the fact but
by no means all women are ready to accept
them; therefore, 4 choice is allowed be-
tween that finish and the open neck. For
the tailored suit and for all simple uses,
there is no waist quite so good as the
plain one and this model with patch
pockets and yoke blouse is exceedingly
smart. Appropriately it can be made
either from linen or cotton materials
or from the silks that are used in the
same way and many of the new silks are
exceedingly beautiful in color and effect.
Here white linen is used throughout, but
a handsome and fashionable waist could
be made by usifig striped tub silk with
white pique for the collar and cuffs.
Colored waists will be worn this winter
also and colorcd taffeta, colored linen or
colored batiste would eexceedinglypretty
made after this model with collar OF the
same or of white.
For the medium size, the waist will
require as yds. of material 27, 294 yds.
80. , yds. ~ in. wide.
The pattern of the waist $40 is cut
in sizes from 81 TO ~ inches bust measure.

by DOROTHY DIX.

The reason that my marriage was
a failure said the first man. was
because I WAS that most deSpicable
OF human creatures, domestic ty-
rant.
"Oh. of course. I don't deliberate
y so TO work 10 humble my wife's
pride and crush her spirit and break

leaving me. It was the only thing
that an intelligent human being with

Il was no more overbearing and
uictatorial 10 my wife than my father
was To his. I will say that in my own
defense. My mother endured her per-

highly educated, college bred; she was

ested in everything in the world: she
had been in business before we were
married, and had commanded a good
derie that should have revolted the
salary. and she was proud. and inde-
pendent, and high spirited.
Wouldn't you have thought that
anybody with sense enough TO be per-
mitted to roam around loose in a COM

was no appeal.
Soon after we were married l de-

no, for really no reason.
Ii has been a year now. and dur

for him much, even though I have
not been with him. I would like to
get back again, and I really don't
know how. 1 don't want him to think
I'm chasing after him.

has altered yours. But why do you
not write a note and tell him that as
he is leaving your part of town and
YOU are not likely TO see him often.
you would be very glad TO have him

During the course of the evening you
