Suspender effects are much liked this
season and wide belts or plain girdles are
new features, so that this frock is an
especially interesting one. The blouse is
made in the kimono style that means very
little labor and the plated skirt Is a per-
fectly simple one Joined to a deep yoke.
In the picture, light weight wool material
In shepherd scheck is worn with blouse
Of white lawn but, since the blouse and
skirt are entirely separate, various COM
binations can be made, although white
would be preferable for the blouse. In
place of the shepherds check, washable
material such as linen or pique could be
used or pretty, dainty little frock would
result from one of the lowered cotton
crepes for the skirt and suspenders with
white for the blouse. The sleeves may be
longer or shorter as liked.
For the year size, the skirt with sus-
penders will require 21s yds. of material

Why My Wife Left Me

now I should have moved heaven and
earth to have provided Ellen with
some companions of her own age and
sex and some normal and healthful
occupation. But / didn't, 1 was ego
tistic enough to think that just being
married to me was amusement and
carea: enough for a lifetime for any
| HCI..sn n. and that when / was away
froiu her she cJ.:l5 wa lt no other
pursuit more fascinating than con
templating my many charms and
vii tues.
so introduced my men friends to
Ellen, and I watched with artless
pleasure their admiration IF her
fresh young beauty and native man
ners, and we made up all sorts of
parties together and had Il jolly good
time
81 Hal to BE Away"
Unfortunately my business re-
quired my being away from h0me
great deal, and so as / was not Will
ing to leave Ellen alone in an apart
ment, we lived in q hotel, where she
had absolutely nothing on eartn to do
but % kill time-in itself the most
hazardous of all pursuits fo.' wo-
man.
| ELLEN grew eXtravagant because
she had nothing to do that was anus
| ing but to shop, and nothing to think
about but enhancing he" good looks.
She became frivolous because she
| breathed nothing but an atmosphere
! of frlVolity. She made acquaintance
with ether women similarly situated
as anc was, and became bridge ficnI,
and q fTequeLter of the tea dances at
our own and other fashionable hotels.
Without her realizing 1t, ~ my
! knowing it, she was drawn into a
sporty set of fast men and women,
he ,FnHf of IA. Itch
and vain women, and who find their
decadent amusement in home wreck
ing and the kind of women who are
always doing a hazardous balancing
/ act on the outer edge of respectability.
: What chance had my poor little
country Ellen among these wolves of
society? Not so much as lamb in
den of ravenous wild beasts.
"And / wasn't there to protect her,
or even to warn her of her danger.
Worse STILL had thrown her into the
pit, and l have always held myself re-
sponsible for what happened, for
there came a day when Ellen fled
away to misery and disgrace, with a
scoundrel who abandoned her as soon
as he had tired of her.
THAT is how l lost my wife. I
/ lost her because / did not know how
to take care of her. I lost her because
left her lonely for some other man
! to entertain, because 1 did not pro-
vide her with healthy interests and
amusements, because I did not guard

, of which she was ignorant. Many
other men have lost their wives as |

treasure unprotected, while we look
up a fifty-dollar bond in a safety de-

Make yourself as charming and

Some Fashion Notes Of
Interest to Women

Some of the new ruffs are combina-
tions of fur and tulle. The high stand
ing tuIle ruching flares upward from
a narrow fur collar that clasps snugly
around the throat.
Waists and gowns for afternoon and
street wear all have long sleeves. Long
sleeves of lace and tul1e are smart
combinations with the silken bodices of
the afternoon frocks The lingerie
gowns all have long sheer sleeves.
Ostrich feathers are smart trimming
effects. Paradise and osprey aigrettes
are most fashionable. but as the latter
cannot be used for new milliner-- in this
country, horsehair limitations are being
used in large quantities.
Purple will be a favored color for
late winter. Soft shades and wisteria,
as well as reddish purple, will all be
worn. The bright colors seem to be
on the wane. and black and navy blue
are the leading colors for suits.
Persian colors have passed out of
style according to the latest fashion
experts. The Persians will be sue
ceeded by plaids for trimming.

Sometimes there will come an end

Sometimes | may ask in vain
For the touch of it again,
When between US land or sea
Holds it ever back from me.
Sometimes may need it so,
Cropping somewhere in the night

Would make all darkness day,
And along some sunny way
Lead me through an April
shower
Or my tears to this fai hour.
Oh, the present is too sweet
To 60 on forever thus!

Who can say what waits for us?
Meeting, greeting, night and day
Fearing each the selfsame way
Still somewhere the path must
end
Reach your hand to me, my
