The liquor locations near the Washing

probably will be the greatest beneficiaries
hy the rigid enforcement of the dry law
by the NirSinian authorities. Those sa-
looms and wholesale locations first en-
countered after coming from dry terri
tory and last encountered before the Jour
ney home will benefit most.
Virginia residents are concerned in the
amount of liquor which they will be per-
mitted to carry across the line The law
prescribed one quart of hard LIQUOR a
month, and the same average supply of
beer and lighter beverages, and the at

etceteras of the newest costumes. I don't
think London women will take very kind
ly to the new long skirts that are GER
tainly going to characterize the cold
weather frocks, and certainly it seems
just the wrong time at which to intro
duce a style that is more suitable when
means of locomotion are more easily at
our disposal than they are at present.
Unless you happen to have very ex-
ceptional powers of persuasion or a pri-
vate car, there Is no possibility nova
days of securing a taxi after 10 o'clock
at night. Therefore ordinary people must
rely upon omnibuses and underground
trains, which, at the best of times, do
not serve to preserve the beauty of ones
smartest frocks and cloaks. 1t Is no un-
common sight nowadays, however, to see
an omnibus filled inside and out with
women in evening dress, while the trains
are full of theatregoers and restaurant
diners, whose evening toilettes in other
times would never have been permitted
to appear by their owners in such COM
monplace surroundings. But we can't be
choosers nowadays, as to the means Of
getting about in London after dark
Therefore, it seems pity that long and
sweeping skirts should be introduced in
place of the short and practical gar
ment that. after all, is becoming to most
people and decidedly comfortable to wear
under nearly all circumstances.

French Girls dot" Will
Not Be Needed After War

Paris, September 10.-A sort of Off
cial matrimonial agency is the latest
expedient proposed by Eugene Brieux
of the French academy to relieve the
anticipated dearth of husbands after
the war.
There were 1.s7S.265 single men and
1,664,665 single women above the age
of rs in France before the war, accord
ing to the latest complete statistics.
From the age of 80 up the number
of unmarried was about equal between
the two sexes with a million each.
A considerable number of happy
households could have been organized
out of these vast resources, M Brieux
thinks. had there been greater facil-
tiles for bringing eligible parties to-
gether. They should in the future, he
thinks, be all registered at their re-
spective town halls.
more significant suggestion. also
due to M. Brieux, is the abolition of the
marriage contract and dower-the
great barrier to the marriage of the
girl without fortune. Some believe a
romantic period is to set in in which

'ENOCH ARDENS' ABOUND
IN WAR-TORN ENGLAND

London, September 9.-There is nothing
truer at the present time than the old
time saying that Truth is stranger than
fiction" Every day one hears of strange
dramas taking place in real life which,
had they been put to stage uses some
years ago, critics would at once have
stigmatized as being impossible" or uni
natural" Each month brings the ever
growing number of 'Enoch Ardens,"
whose unexpected returns are received
sometimes with joy and many times 1t is
to be feared, with the reverse emotion. :
Men, both officers and privates, WHO
have been Officially reported" killed are
continually finding themselves either.
in some foreign hospital or else in a
German prison camp. A case in point
occurred only a few days ago when Mrs
Barry Bingham, who was one of last
years brides, was suddenly told that her
husband, whom she had thought killed
in the Jutland naval battle, was actually
alive and we'll in one of the German
prisons. Mrs. Bingham is exceedingly
pretty and very popular. Her husband
is the second son of Lord Clanmorris
but this was one of the happy 'resur-
rections."
TRAGIC CASE
heard of tragic one the other day.
The husband of very popular and well
known woman was taken prisoner in the
early days of the war. He was sorely
wounded, and after lapse of time was
reported as having died in a German hos
pital. Everything pointed to the correct
ness Of the statement, and the pretty
young widow mourned his loss for close
on year and then, after brief court
ship, married a man who in the years
before her first wedding, had been her
warm friend and admirer. They had their
brief honeymoon and in due course the
second husband, who is also a soldier
resumed his command somewhere in
France"
Months elapsed and suddenly one day
a letter came from the Prisoners of War
society advising the lady that soldier
who had apparently lost his mind had
been returned from Germany as totally
unfit" The only thing that was distin-
guishable in his conversation was a name
and address that had formerly belonged
to his wife. The officials of the society
followed up the clew and, although they
had no knowledge of who the sorely
wounded man might be- finally traced the
former owner of name and residence AS
the man was reported to be in London
hospital, "the woman in the case thought
that it might be a distant relative, or
friend of her husbands. She visited
the ward where he was lying. and then
discovered that he was her first husband
come to life. He had been very badly
treated and his mind affected in conse-
