The Hyde Park man tried to pre- sent a long face as he met his friend from Woodlawn On the s:3o train. .,
 'TTome is no place for me again,
 waist full of cactus and sagebrush!
 Imogene is trying to make up her rsind about her, fall and winter clothes and I tell you the conflict rages fierce
 in the intervals when I come up for air, but there is nothing l can dc TOT her In these trials women must stand lonely and unprotected!
 "Huh!'' the woodiawn man said: said You make an awful lot Of trouble over nothing, seems to mel"
 Nothing echoed the man from
 Hyde Park. Say! Suppose you came
 nome from work expeeting to ind your wife neatly sarbed in georsette crepe with her hair waved, darninS your socks by the evening lamp, looking up brightly at your approach tc greet you, asking in sympathetic tones whether you had had a hard day and mentioning incidentally that there was deep apple pie for dessert and after searching the lower part or the house for her you found her up stairs in nsgligee amid a perfect swirl oi fashion books!
 she moans. looking distracted ard dis feveied and not seeing you in the least. I bought six new magazines and every one q: d:ffered from the other! When pick out plafted skirt in one magazine for my serge dress the next enc says that plaits are not used and skirts are gathered and the third advises long straight lines and braid inE! o,.
 will everybody else and you must look different! And I simply must wear what other people are wearing because when a woman tries to be original in her clothes she always valentine unless she is a millionaire and then the public says that she is setting styles ard copies her!
 Henry, you simply must help me that will be perfectly stylish and like what other people are wearing and yet be absolutely different and origi- nal! What is the use of being man and having an agile brain if you can't think out little thing like that? am sure if you can decide about bonds and mortgages you ought to be able to- pick out the kind of dress I want! afternoon parties, but if I buy crepe or satin it won't do at all to wear to, market in the mornings!
 No, I can't tell you what we're going to have for dinner. How can you think of dinner when I'm so wor ried about this dress? A man hasn't an ounce of sympathetic understand ing in his makeup! No, I forgot to tell Tfilda you wanted floating island for dassert-I don't believe I told her anything for Cessert! Anyhow, you're much too fat to eat floating island, Henry! And you don't mind having hash? Harriet Jones was here and she was telling me about what she is buying this fall and I forgot to order any meat.
 Harriet is. having one plaited dress and one gathered and one plain braided. so she's going to be all right, no matter what happens and maybe that's what I'll do. But don't see hcw I can have three dresses right now when I've only planned for one. and these are war times, too! Of, course, if you had Tom Jones' income but don't think I am blaming you. Henry! Everybody can't be brilliant like Tom! Why. expect his salary is s25o 900 a year this nninute! And if get a small hat tc start with the place where my hairs,is turning gray will show. but if I set-a big one the wind will blow it every time put my head out of doors unless wear a veil and you can't wear a face veil with B. big
