The skirt that is made with a yoke is
one of the best liked of the season and
this one is especially designed for the use
Of two materials. The yoke is just slightly
full at its upper edge and the skirt can be
finished a little above the waist line with
belt and frill at the back or at the
waistline with a straight belt. In the
picture, the skirt itself is made of gabar-
dine and the yoke is of taffeta, but there
are many combinations that will suggest
themselves. If the pockets are omitted,
the model is adapted to such materials as
taffeta for the skirt and chiffon cloth fer
the yoke and with the pockets, it is suited
to any material that Is adapted to a tail
ored finish. The cotton gabardincs are
much liked this season and one of these
would be pretty with cotton crepe for the
upper part of the skirt, or, pique could be
used in combination with handkerchief
linen, for piqeu has returned to its own
and is exceedingly we'll liked for skirts Of
this kind and is always effective in con-
trast with linen and similar thinner ma
terials. Both the skirt and the yoke can
be cut in either two or in three pieces as
the material renders desirable.

How to Keep al husbands love

|, to give her pleasure. So one is in
clined to Judge leniently the lady
whose errant heart went after the
man who used, as her husband AYERS,
fourteen lavish ways of spending
money to win her love.
But, after all, the moral of the
case is not in what the lover did, but
what the husband left undone. Few,
If any, women ever really sell their
love, but many men lose a woman's af-

to keep 1t. The majority of husbands.
however prodigal they may have been
in gifts before marriage, after mar
riage are apt to think that it's too
much trouble to make their wives a
present.
Checks Are Unromantic
They justify themselves by saying
that Mary or Sallie can buy what she
pleases at the shops, and they hold
that in paying her bills they are max
ing her a perpetual present Even
on the OCCASION of Christmas or birth
days, the present only too often takes
the form of a check which satisfies
the mans sense of duty, but brings
to the woman none of the romantic
thrill that she would have had in some
little gift that represented some espe-
cial whim or fad of hers.
The mans excuse under such cir
IHdL ne ulul KNOW WHAT
she wanted adds insult to Jury, for 1t
shows how little she is in his thoughts,
and what small notice he really takes
of her. There was a time when he
did know what she liked, and even
felt 1t worth while to keep a memo
randum of her preference in chocolate
creams and flowers.
To men 1t may sound farcical to say
that man won woman's love by
the big tips he gave to walters when
they went out together, but women
will understand the psychological sig
nificance of it. They know how often,
when their husbands take them out,
they do 1T because they've been held
up by the wife's tongue.
Keep Heart in Repair
Nothing is so funereal as a pleasure
jaunt forced upon one, and the man
who has to take his wife out because
she has nagged him into doing it, is
in surly temper that makes him
take it out in rowing with the street
car conductor, abusing the play they
go to see and badgering the waiter at
the restaurant.
Not SO acts the man whose pleas
ure in being with a woman makes
him smile upon the world, regard the
street car conductor as a long-lost
brother every play as a masterpiece,
anu the waiter as a SOQnnR VINO
serves nectar and ambrosia, and who
deserves to have gold and silver Of
fered up before him.
There's a lesson for men in the man
who won a wife's love away from,
her husband by fourteen lavish ways
of spending money. It's good econ
omy to keep things in repair, even
a wife's heart, and lots of divorce
expenses and alimony money could
be saved by a few judicious invest
ments of small change in candy and
violets.

While the work of the State Bureau

stage OF the organization of the con-

been worked out from reports of dis

BY DOROTHY DIX

One of the burning topics of inter-
est to every married woman, and espe-
cially to the married woman who is
getting unfair and fat, and forty, and
whose husband is accommodating enough
money to make him attractive to
other women, is how to retain a hus-
bands love.
Under such conditions keeping a
firm. yet gentle grasp upon a slim,
slippery diversion compared to hold
ing man nailed to his own fipeside.
Hence most middle-aged ladies' spend
much time, and thought, and labor,
on how to keep their husbands fas-
cinated, and thus circumveut the
charmer, and prevent the head of the
house from roaming.
Average Man Not Jealous
Men do not bother to try to pre-
serve their wives affections. Whether
this is a compliment and indicates a
husbands perfect faith in his wifes
r love and loyalty, or whether M is an
insult and shows that he esteems her
SO unattractive that he thinks that he
can't lose her, no woman knows.
And she'd give a good deal te, know
in her own particular individual case.
1t remains, however, a fact that
the average middle-aged married man
goes through none of the agOnies of
jealousy about his wife that she does
about him. Nor does he diet. or exer-
ClSes OF use ndlr IONIC TO keep MINI
self looking to his wife like the ro-
mantle young person she married,
while she goes through the. tortures
of the inquiSition in a vain attempt
to preserve for him the illusion that
she is still the bride he led to the al
tar.
In spite-or because-Imen do
habitually leave the stable door un-
locked OCCASIONALLY the gray mare does
bolt and goes off with another master.
Inded, this catastrophe is happening
with increasing frequency and it be-
gins to look as if the time might come
when a husband would have to take
as much trouble to keep his wife as a
wife does to keep her husband.
An interesting sideligtht is thrown
on this view of the subject by a man
who is suing a wealthy Lothario for
alienation of his wifes affections, and
who gives the following ways in which
her love was won:
Spending money while out with
her; fine dressing; treating her to
elaborate luncheons; giving her expen-
sive presents; taking her to places OF
amusement; sending her flowers; re-
membering her birthday; by the Law
ish tips he gave walters in cafes; hir-
ing taxis and allowing them to stand
by the hour regardless OF expense"
Women Like Spenders
Presuming that woman's love is a
purchasable commodity, 1t is easy to
understand how the charms of a good
spender could prove irresistible if the
lady had the misfortune to be mar
rted to tight-fisted husband. With
out being avaricious, it is intoxicat-
ingly flattering to a woman to feel
that a man does not think that the
best is good enough for her, and that
ne is willing to throw his money away

COLOR LIGHTING MAKES MOVIES
REALISTIC

OF the many imperfections in pres
ent methods of producing photoplays
the entire absence of color in the pro-
iected ina ges is probably the one that
is the most keenly felt by spectators
at the motion picture theaters. In
this particular the theatrical stage has
tremendous advantage. 1t can revel
in a wealth of color ,and with modern
facilities for stage lighting 1t is pos
sible to produce almost any color ef-
feet to correspond with the atmosphere
of "a scene. On the movie screen
there is none of this life-like ooloring
nothing but a monotonous success
sion of black and white pictures.
"a new method now being tested in
California gives every promise of
eliminating this defect in film pic
lures says the July Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. "The apparatus
consists mainly of a spot light pro-
vided with color screens, and with it
any color. or com mbination of coloBs,
can he thrown on the movie screen.
The spot light is mounted on the pro-
jector and is under the control of the
operator"
