appropriate Costumes for the Vacation

n often !: j. a "a.
cation month
that a great many
women stand in need
OF new costumes at
this season of the
year, The sug-
gestions that are
made in the drawing
will perhaps be help
full. There are two
attractive afternoon
gowns which are
quite different in
style and there are
excellent suggestions
for the ever useful
blouse and separate
skirt. The pretty
little dress of dotted
voile that is shown
away over at the left
makes a good ex-
ample Of the lingerie
costumes at their
best. Really the
blouse is a plain one
but the trimming Of
rumes elaborate it.
The skirt consists Of
three Aounces and
little rumes are ar
ranged over the
Aounces to provide
a additional flare.
The second gown is
more severe in its
lines but it still gives
the breadth and full
ness that are es-
sentially fashionable.
The skirt is double,
there being a plain
skirt beneath the
tunic which is open
at the front The
blouse with its cape
and Aaring collar is
absolutely new and
Of especial interest.

Eliot LAUDS WILSON
Stand ON LABOR Law
Venerable Educator Reahrms Com
mendation of Democratic Party.

New York. Oct. 23,-President Wilson's
Recommendation of the labor legislation
was as courageous as it was wise," his
management of the crisis created by
the four railway brotherhoods neither
cowardly nor unfair" President Will
sons main policies toward Mexico are
fundamentally right"
This is the answer of DR.. Charles w.
Eliot, president emeritus OF Harvard, to
attacks by Republican campaigners on
the Presidents labor and Mexican
achievements since August. when the
venerable educator sweepingly approved
the previous conduct of the Democratic
administration
THE Democratic party has done such
an extraordinary amount of good work
during the peresent administration that
the period from 1912 to 1915 will be men,
orable in the history OF the United States,
and the man chiefly responsible for this
consummate service to the American
people should be again made their chief
servant
The real question before the country
in the Presidential election, SO far as
the appalling industrial warfare is con-
corned, quite transCends the prevailing
discussions about the personal qualities
and opinions of the two candidates.
ITO which OF the two great parties Is
1t safer to confide the conduct Of the
governments action in relation to the
struggle? To my thinking, 1t is safer to
trust the Democratic party.

Movie Actresses
And Their Hair

Did It ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair, while the most popular count their
curls as their chief beauty7 In fact Cthis
is q secreo, many are leading ladies' Just
because Of their attractive locks. Inquiry
among them discloses the fact that they
bring out all the natural beauty Of their
hair by careful shampooing, not with any
soap or makeshift, but with a simple mix
ture which they make up for themselves
by putting teaspoonful Of canthrox
(Which they get from the druggist), In a
cup Of hot water and applying this in
stead Of soap. After its use their hair
dries rapidly, with uniform color. Dand-
run, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. The hair is so fluffy
that It looks much heavier than 1t is. Its
luster and softness is delightful, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair growth,-Aav.

Tuesday.
Yesterday I began my story OF the
young girl met in the train who car
ried a bisque doll beautifully dressed,
which she, poor little mad thing. be-
lieved to be her baby. The companion
taking her from New York to a private
sanitarium In Philadelphia, told me her
story.
At twenty this young girl. beautiful,
petted adored by her parents and spoiled
by them as well, fell in love with a
young architect. Her parents, though
they approved OF the engagement for
bade them, because Of the girls youth,
to talk of a wedding. But one romantic
afternoon they stole away and were
clandestinely married.
The girls father was a very stern.
dominant willed, proud Southerner, ard
because he had given his daughter a
warning that she would make him un-
happy II she married. It was three or
four months before tho girl finally con-
fded the secret to her mother.
Il cannot forgive you," the father told
her. You have deceived me. All your
life, from the time you were a little girl
have dreamed Of the happiness of your
marriage. and Of the home would
build you, even OF the children you
might have to gladden. your life as you
have gladdened ours
He was obdurate-there was no plead
ing which would pacify him-and the fol-
lowing morning the girl and her young
husband moved to a tiny apartment in
New York. For six months they were
very happy. but finally the girl grew
restless, her husband did not earn enough
money to satisfy her vanities.
She wanted an automobile; a more pre-
tentious home: she wanted to entertain
her friends. Consequently she ran into
debt and each day piled up bills upon
bills which were impossible for her hus-
band to meet.
When creditors come In through the
door, love flies out OF the window, ;"
warned one of their cynical friends You
have love and at least that should con-
tent you.''
Another month or two passed: the hus-
band was beginning to worry, to work
at nights. while she. tired OF the home
which did not satisfy her, would steal
out to meet a party OF girls and boys
who lived only for the moment
One afternoon he returned home to
tell her that a large London corporation
intended to build a skyscraper on Wall
Street AS Junior member of a firm Of
well-known architects, an opportunity

English firm
TT is a wonderful opportunity" and
she clapped her hands enthusiastically.

He looked at her unhappfly.
You may laugh at this" he told her,
but something urges me to remain at
home-whether It is a forewarning that
trouble will come to you or me I do not
know. But somehow or other, would
rather fsht It out here than go away
just now"
She look at him with disgust
And you would throw away a chance
Ike that for a foolish whimw she cried,
scornfully. Very we'll then-if you care
so little for me that you are not inter
ested in your own future, win return to
my parents"
The outcome Of It was that It was she
who urged him to go abroad. Many con-
dittons arose which kept him away for
