Health before STYLE" is one of
Dame Fashions latest edicts and
without even winking an eye she
has contrived the suggest little
leggings of the softest, fluffiest
chiffon and handed them on to
her votaries to be worn with the
much abbreviated new kilt skirts.
The new leggings are really
part of a trouser-like undergar-
ment which is very pretty, and
Dame Fashion hopes that it will
be comfy" too, when the wintry
breezes blow.
The new "kilts" which have
called forth the new leggings are
long enough to drop below the
knee; the pleated skirt is topped
by a quaint little jacket with
pointed front. A vest of piqt g
or taffeta is worn beneath the
jacket.

Q.-Your valued advice
will be most highly appreci-
ated. We have been mar
ried ten years and have a
boy years old. My husband
is away from home almost
every night playing cards, he
tells me. He seldom returns
before one or two in the
morning and frequently is
away all night. Some nights
he loses heavily; then l am
cut off with little or no
means until these debts of
honor" as he calls them, are
paid.

power to interest him In
other things, but to no

anonymous letters telling me
my husband is paying atten-

the woman's name is given.

cards every night. ! have lost
all the love l ever had for
him and the late hours he

A week ago a gentleman
came to the city. He and
were sweethearts in anoth-
err city, some years ago; in
fact, since we were children.
Someone told him of the life
my husband leads, and he
came especially to see me.
He said when ] can no longer
stand this life to send for
him; that he has idolized
me always and that / am the
only girl he ever has loved
and how proud he would be
to have such wife and boy
for his own. | would not let
him speak further. ] have al
ways been true to my hus-
band and this is the first and

A.-YOur husband certainly hit
the nail on the head when he said
he made a mistake to marry ut
all. He Is not fit to be the hus-
band of a good woman nor the
father OF children.
Virgil Lockwood correctly states
that every child has the inalien-
able right: To he born right; to
be loved; TO have his individuality
respected; to be wisely trained In
mind, body and spirit; 10 he pro-
tected from evil persons and In
flueDces; and to have "a fair chance
in life.
put this question to you: Is
the disgrace of divorce greater
than that of remaining i'm such
surroundings with your child who
will grow up with the example
set by his father constantly be-
fore him?
