of thrift and saving making 1t impos-
sible for her to throw away even q
well-worn pair In spite Of the fact
that the need for repairing had long
since passed.
Slade found himself looking at the
little woman who had been his wife
for twenty years, through lean years
and hard years, as faithful and pa
tent then as later, when success first
began to come his way, very much as
he might have scrutinized an entire
stranger. For a moment the tragedy
of their present state caught at his
soul, and he felt the infinite pathos
of the woman's predicament A softer
note came into his voice as he asked
slowly:
Say, haven't you got any clothes.
Mary? Haven't you any Of the things
other women wear at night-silk or
lace or ruffles or-whatever they
are?"
Eyes. I've got .'em," Mary replied.
indifferently, but it's too cold to
wear 'em. and those silk stockings
you told me to buy-I can't wear
them, either-they tickle my toes.
Satin slippers made me uncomfort-
able, and" she finished with bub-
bling little laugh. Il guess l wasn't
made for those things, Dan, dear. I'm
too mt CHI of a home body"
Her very self-satisfied complacency
nettled her questioner. The very
sight Of the darning needle in her fin
gers maddened him.
Good God, Mary" he exclaimed.
cant you ever stop this endless
mending? Haven't begged you, day
and night, not to mend my socks. l
won't wear socks all over darns-
they're uncomfortable"
Just suggestion of smile played
around Mary SHADES sweet mouth as
she answered.:
They're yours, Dan. It's the only
thing left that can do for you-now.
l can't bear to see strangers touch
your things" and her voice trailed
off in a wistful sigh, a sigh which
might on any other occasion have
made It's appeal to the earnest-faced
man now gazing at her SO grimly.
The lightness Of her tone showed
how little she realized the seriousness
of the situation-how little she under
stood how inadeQuately she was fill
ing her position as his wife. She
loved her husband with the devotion
of slave and the reverence Of wor-
shipper at shrine, but, like. many an
other good woman, she wanted to
show her affection in her own way
and not in his. Because she wanted
to do for him with her hands. she
turned q deaf ear to his pleas that
she use her head. She wanted her

IIAT brims are growing wider and
II modistes foretell a vogue for large
hats, to begin with the fall season.
Large hats and small, simple coiffures
do not harmonic, and already the
light puff for filling out the coiffure
has made its appearance. We have
also to consider small hair rolls or
pads for supporting the hair, and
coiffures are quite generally dressed
in waves. These are the wavelets
that are breaking upon a new shore
line in hairdressing, speaking f1gura-
lively; they are foretelling a rising
tide of favor for more display in the
management of the hair. The coiffure
shown here pictures the hair parted
at one side and waved in smooth, reg
ular undulations. There is short
lock at the front arranged in light
curl. Some of the new styles show
two very precise ringlets, one on, each
side of a middle part. For this style
the hair is also waved, but more loose
ly, and the coil is arranged lower on
the neck.
Long, light puffs help out in build
ing up a coiffure and few of them,
arranged about coil, make the new
styles easy to accomplish.
The coiffure arranged on top of the
head, with the hair combed back from
