WAIST OF FLESH TINTED CREPE

convertible collar and long sleeves with shaped, turn back cuffs. There is also a shoulder yoke to which the fronts are slightly gathered and which offers opportunity for the introduction of vein ing or bands of insertion if a more elaborate effect is desired. The aver age size requires 2A yards Crepe Gcorgette. Buttons of silk crochet may be suggested for the trimming, as they are exceedingly fashionable this year.
 After the crepe is folded, the collar, back and facing are put into position for cutting. these sections being laid on a lengthwise fold of the goods. The facing and collar, however, may be of contrasting material, in which event tllAy also would be placed in the same way for cutting.
 I'd the right of the collar and on a lengthwise thread of material comes the front and following the front the cuff. Opposite the cuff, running along the selyage edge. the stay is placed. and finally comes the sleeve. The small ''o'' perforations on the sleeves show how the pattern can be cut off to form the elbow effect.
 With the turn back collar a string tie may be worn, and, truly, it must be a string to be really fashionable. Just strip of velvet ribbon or satin is all that is necessary, and the other inn portant thing is to see that this strikes as sharp a contrast in color as possi- b1e.

 Laugh Down Pests

Washington, Sept. May Irwin, the actress. has written a letter to President Wilson. in which she says:
 T am only a humble almost citizen, but think it the duty of every wo- man. child or man. to encourage you with a. direct approval of your course. Hence this letter. Without presump ption permit me to express the greatest admiration for and personal sense of security in the policy you are pursuing
 T would like to see a new de- partment added to the government to be known as the department of laugh ter. The function of 1t should be to laugh out of court these fools and self-seekers, these pests and jingoes who are trying to annoy you in your work The rulers of old had their Sir Motleys and testers for Just such . purpose.
 respectfully apply for the port folio of this department on the sup position that know a good laugh when T see one. My first action would be to request the biological de- partment of the Smithsonian Institu- ton to attempt to propagate the fool killer and I'd put him to work inn- TnediateIy.

EIGHT CHILDREN
 TO WORRY OVER

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a mother of eight children. My husband is and always has been care less. He shirks work and cannot with stand the temptation of drink. My life is so miserable at times I fear it will drive me insane. He even hates the children. I had him put on probation for which he makes life almost un- bearable for me. My great terror is, that the children-any or all of them, may take after him. I see indications already that point that way. Do please tell me what to do? am almost dis tracted.
 MRS. S. K
 Dear heart, your lot is certainly cruel one, but even so dark a cloud may have a. silver lining. You cannot live your past again, to change condi- tions. The present only is yours. Be a brave woman; rise above your sor- rows by mighty will power. Com mence making a change in the home. Do not weep, plead or pray to your husband. Try being pleasant. smiling and cheerful You will soon arouse his curiosity as to what is causing such wonderful change in you Make home neat, happy place for the chi1- dren. Gain their confidence, love, trust and respect. Talk brightly, hopefully with them. Forget your own wrongs by entering into your chi1dren's daily pursuits with heart and soul, encour- aging, directing and aiding them. AL low no harsh discussions among the little folks. Turn aside anger with loving words and a smile. Make it your life-work to set the feet of the children in the right path. Out of the eight there will surely be at least two or three of them who will repay your present sacrifices thousand-fold. There are few if any lives without some secret sorrow. Do not give way to despair; resolve that grief shall not conquer you

HOW SOME MOTHERS
 BORE SPINSTERS

In the September Woman's Home Companion a, spfnster, who calls her self contented, writes a little article in which among other things, she shows how some mothers bore spin sters Following is one of the little stories she tells:
 .sMollie is one of my oldest friends, and usually like her; but when she comes to see me and, after sitting in my favorite chair and drinking my ex- ceIlent teA and eating my delicious little cakes, both of which were made and served by. my devoted maid why, then, Mo1lie eyes me sadly, and says: Lucy deaf, if you were only rnarriedI There's no real life for a woman but mo-o-otherhood. She sorts of bleats the word, and it makes me very, very peevish-
 t'For her. house is ugly and uncom- fortable, her husband. is a cross and imp ble sort of man with all the small vices of bad table manners, un- Molly often tells me-when she is pitying herself, not me-how he leaves his clothes about for sher to pick up, burns holes with his cigar in all her table covers, and so on. Mol lies children take after their father. There are three of them, and even their youtKfulness isn't pleasant. They all of them. I'd be sorry to bring child into the world that gave no more promise than Mollie's.
 ''Of course a good bit of it is Mol lies fault. She likes to talk lot about o-o-otherhood and she be- being real mother to her children why, she simply isn't and can't be. She doesn't know how and is too lazy to learn."

PARIS DEGREES
 WIDE SKIRTS
 IN FALL MODES

New York, Sept. Mrs. Belle Whitney, who arrived from Paris on the French liner Espagne yesterday with ''4O trunks or SOL told America a few things about the coming fash ions and what is at fault with some wonen's taste.
 women usually pick out a, gown for it's color, next for it's cut and last for it's texture" she said, flicking a particle of dust from her immaculate Partisan tailored suit, little realizing that the smallest purse may attain the finest effects if everything else be for gotten but quality.
 Calls Designers Inspired.
 After the war started I. with many others, thought that Paris would lose her heart and with her heart, her ideas,'' Mrs. Whitney went on. 50 many buyers thought this that a great percentage of them dropped out of the reckoning. Others were afraid of the seas. Then I got in; just pulled my courage over my head and took the plunge and came up gasping and covered, as Hugo says, with stars.
 t''These dresses that Paris has put out are so much more wonderful than those of other years that one won ders just what the war has done. It seems to have inspired the designers.
 "One cloak is a copy of the famous
 
 the Doge of Venice. It is undoubtedly the most wonderful thing on the market. Another novelty is an err mine coat, embroidered in net.
 Ribbons are going to be very pre- va1ent, ribbons upon, the hat, the shoulders, the wrists, the bodice, everywhere. The hats are rather small brimmed, but large crowned and high

 low or to try to keep up with the woman of means" she said. 'So many styles dash in one after the other until we are surfeited. The cheap niddlen copies the Parisian model and the woman of the smart set, sec ing it, discards her original, which means something new once more.''
 Fur to Be Used.
 Fur will be used, Mrs. Whitney pre- dicted, and skirts will be wide. Satin, silk and velvet will predominate and the newest creations will have cloaks just matching the hem of the dress which they cover, so that when the wrap is removed the gown is suitable for evening wear.
 In September Mrs. Whitney, under the management of Se1wyn & Co.,, will have a fashion show at the Hudson theatre, presented in a series of mat inees. Later the show will be put into motion pictures and sent into all parts of the country not covered by the show itself

STREET MANNERS

An elderly man was walking down the streets of this town one day, when he encountered a group of children some 10 to 12 years old. They were walking along the sidewalk four abreast. Busy with their pratt1e they filled the whole walk. Grandfather had to turn out in the gutter. He turned and looked at them as they passed, and grow1ed out something about that kind Of thing not happen ing when he was boy.
 Incidents like these are not con fined to children. One often sees people of mature age, or even persons of some standing and prominence taking LID the whole walk.
 Having to turn out for such persons is or course a trifiing matter, invoIv= ing no physical effort But it jars ones sense of fitness, and suggests an arrogant habit of mind, even though such things may be done uncon- sciously. If people who walak along the street would be more careful to observe the rights of others, it would remove some mental friction, and make them seem more like ladies and gentlemen.

MARRYING A COUSIN.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am going. with nay cousin and wish to marry her. Would this be right? :? If not, why not? Should a young man marry a woman older than himself? If not, why not?
 MIR. N. While no positive objection to the marriage of first cousins can be raised still it is considered to be wisest and best to wed one who is not related by such close family ties. Tradition has it that the offspring of cousins is ex- tremely delicate and hard to raise to the age of manhood and womanhood. know of several cases to the con trary, however In regard to marry ing an older woman. I have also known marriages of this kind that seem to be particularly happy. know of others that have not been for tunate. Philosophers who have made a study of life tell us: The man should be the older of the twain.''- supposedly because man, as years go on. is liable to grow weary of an older mate. #@AA
