with most men and women past thirty

supply of phosphorus and find them

their usual work. Often they LOOK

Safety First
BY EDITH BARNARD DELANO
OF The Vigilantes.

VI L uG
Safety first? OF course! You in
sure your house, don't you? Don't
consider your fire insurance a bad
investment, do you? OF course it
doesn't bring you in any interest
oh, does it? Safety is interest enough.
you say? Do you happen to know
that a Liberty bond is just the big
gest insurance policy ever taken out,
insurance against worse things than
fire and lightning ror accident and
death? Do you know that it not
only insures tie safety of you and
your house and your business. of your
children and your children's children,
but that it does bring you in actual
interest. not only in safety but in
dollars and cents besides?
Safety first? OF course! You have
to work hard for your money, don't
you? Living is high, and the chill
dren are going to have better start
in life than you had, if you can give
it to them? Takes money; and you
aren't going to risk the money you've
worked for in any unsafe investment,
are you? Things often look all right;
but you never know when they're
not: you believe in playing safe, don't
you? Any sensible man does; and the
Liberty bonds are the safest invest
ment in the country, the safest in the
world; because this is the biggest
and richest country in the world; and
the entire country would have to go
actually bankrupt before the Liberty
bonds would be no good-and they
probably would be good. even then!
See any signs of the lcountry's going
bankrupt? Banks might, businesses
might-but the entire country? Safety
first? Sure. So put your money into
Liberty bonds and smile at trouble
coming-if you see any!
Safety first? OF course!

BY JANE MCLEAN.

What is there about a woman en-
during enough to satisfy a man for
all time? Is it her beauty that en-
slaves him? Is it her brain capacity?
Is it her ability to be his comrade?
What is it? 1 think the answer lies
in that simple little word. charm.
Coralie, when she married Kim
Reynolds, was the loveliest thing to
look at that could possibly be inn
agined. She was so lovely that no
one stopped to think whether she
had a brain or not. Most people did
not think it necessary for her to pos
sess anything else but her looks.
But Coralie did have a brain, and
she knew how to use 1t. She knew
quite well that although Kimberly
Reynolds loved her madly just now,
that love would be short-lived il she
expected her looks to do everything
for her in the way of keeping it.
Coralie did not make her clever
ness too obvious. She pretended, as
any clever woman can who tries, that
she valued her looks above every
thing, and, possessed of an abund-
dance OF worldly weS!th, she dressed
eXquisitely. Kim waS more in love
with her after their first year to-
gether than he had been when he
married her.
Met All His Moods
Coralie had many sides. and she
took the trouble to study Kim. When
e. came home from the office tired
and worn out, she was the sympa-
thetic friend and comrade. She would
refrain from caressing him, but
would perch instead on the chair OPP
posite him and chat costly. telling
him funny little incidents of the day;
or she would tramp with him in the
rain, her attitude utterly noncom-
initial. like another mans would be.
When Kim was ready to be the lover,
Coralie was all soft surrender and
feminine charm, or utterly dazzling
in her beauty; and when Kim talked
on topics of the day, Coralie would
startle him with the knowledge she
possessed of current events.

All's w ell That
q Ends Well *

The world saw little of Coralie's
clever side. but was content, never
theless, because her beauty was so
lavish. But the world did say that
1t was dangerous for a woman to
be so beautiful. Just suppose any
thing happened to it. Why, how
could any one expect to hold Kim
Reynolds?
That's the trouble with these men
who marry for beauty" said the
wiseacres, they are slaves while the
first wonder of it lasts. and then
some fine morning the woman wakes
up middle-aged and finds that she
bores her husband to death"
But this was not to happen to Kim
and Coralie. One sad day Coralie
was thrown from her motor. and
among other injuries, fractured her
hip so badly that there was nothing
the doctors could do to save the use
of the limb. Coralie, with her
straight, 1.-THE young loveliness, was
to be an invalid for life. Well and
strong in other parts of her body,
she was to be compelled to lie on her
back or, at best, to walk with a cane.
1t was almost more than she could
bear.
Put to the Test
for even clever reasonable woman
can despair at an outlook of this
kind; but it was more because of
| Kim than because of herself that she
! felt so terribly. and as the days
slowly passed by she began to re-
alize that in order to make Kim
happy and contented she must exert
herself to even more charm than she
ever had before
Gone, of course, were the long
tramps in the rain, the little impul-
sive movements that had been so
much part of her. OF course her
beauty was still hers, but even that
would depend upon care and fore
sight and lack of worry about her
condition.
Well. it was a sad prospect, but
she would face it. And so Coralie
made of herself something that Kim
might come home to. something that
he could find nowhere else. He would
come home from the office to find
Coralie always there, eXquisitely
dressed and with an atmosphere
about her that she created by her
own forceful personality.
There was no vestige of the sick
room. for Coralie was not sick. She
never allowed herself to think that
she was. She would send X lin out
for walks alone, and on certain eve

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

The tailored suit always is
important for the autumn sea-
son, but this year perhaps
especially so for women are
engaged in many activities and
there is no other costume quite
so generally serviceable. This
is a model that can be used for
serge, for gabardine, for broad
cloth and for velours and similar
suiting, all with equal propriety.
Here the edges are bound, and
unquestionably braid binding
is to be extensively used, but
stitched edges are correct, or
you could use bands of ma
terials in place of the braid.
There is simple two-piece
skirt, and the full skirt of the
coat is joined TO the fitted body
portion, that combination being
an exceedingly fashionable one.
If you prefer, you can omit the
pockets with their pointed laps
but they make a smart effect
and are much used. Here, the
material is serge in the favorite
dark blue, with collar of sand
color and binding of black braid.
For the medium size the coat
will require 3s4 yards of ma
terial "a, or 3 yards 81 inches
wide, with d yard for the
collar and S yards of braid.
For the skirt will be required
212 yards of either width.
The coat pattern o543 is cut
in sizes from "a to AZ inches
bust measure. The skirt pat
tern $3.50 in sizes from "a to SO
inches waist measure. They
will be mailed to any address by
the Fashion Department of this
paper, on receipt of fifteen cents
for each.

mouse type of woman just now. one
of them did her best recently to spoil
some perfectly good hours for me.
l had a whole free day-seventeen
or eighteen glorious, empty hours.
And they were not to be saved for
useful purposes, either: not to be
put to the base use of doing odds and
ends of shopping, or answering let
ters. or going to the dentists, and
things like that. No, this day was
set apart for Vagrant joy and hap
hazard amusement. Nothing should
be arranged beforehand. l would
follow any inclination that popped
into my head.

Just Sauntering along, enjoying that
great, free show, the feast of the
shop windows, mosaics of color-the
rugs, the furs, the jewels. the books,
the pictures and the frocks. oh, yes,
the frocks, Then a motor drew up
to the curb and a feminine voice
said:
Don't you want to drive out into
the country
l wasted no time, but hoped in.
1t was nice of her to ask me; but
in ten minutes l wished | hadn't.
She began by showinf me samples
of black crepe. and that was a
dreary thing to do on such morn
ing. Then she entered on an eX-
haustive history of her ailments
which lasted for several miles.
I tried to distract her attention by
pointing out the trees in their new
autumn scarlet and gold and bronze
and green, and quoted Ruskin:
Whenever men are noble, they love
bright colors, and wherever they
lead noble lives, bright shall be Civ
en- them in earth and sea and sky"
She sighed, and said she hated to
look at the changing trees, they
made her think of winter; and, any
way, bright colors affected her like
a blow. She was too sensitive and
too highly organized to enjoy them.
She held a wretched little sun
shade we'll over her eyes, and she
was continually dragging fur scarf
up about her ears. And this on
the most golden of October days!
Many Lack Courage
to Really Enjoy Life
There's a sort of convention among
many people that to be delighted
and amused with the passing show
after you've shut the gate on the
Twenties is a sure sign OF a light
and frivolous nature, and that there
is some especial virtue in sighs and
a chastened demeanor. There in
heres in many minds, especially in
feminine minds, the notion that the
ideal woman is sort of colorless,
prosaic well-dressed nonentity, thor
oughly refined" all the red cor
puscles in her blood turned white.
/ wonder why there are so many
persons in the world who think 1t
is the proper thing to take their
pleasures a little sadly, who haven't
the courage to enjoy their lives.
What black vein of superstition is in
us that we are afraid fully to re-
joice in to-day, but spend our time

.Life'sProblems
Are Discussed
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

b. Bl MtS. WILSON WOODROW
1t is a banality to say that living
is very complex affair. Every one
knows it. It's a different adventure
to each of us, and yet the heavens
and the hells of every experience
are very much alike.
l can't predict the events that will
happen to you. You can't predict
those that will happen to me. But
there are certain things that each of
us may be reasonably sure of.
One is that we will meet our Wa
terloo more than once, and that ex-
actly expresses my meaning, and is
beautiful example of an Irish bull
Another certainty is that the Hes
peridian apples of which we shall
unquestionably go in search will be
guarded by a very large. husky drag
on with formidable claws and long,
sharp teeth. We shall learn that 1t
is not much that man can save
ON the sands of life in the straits OF
time" and we shall more than once
ask ourselves. And canst thou bear
the long recoil, the weary strain
And the irrevocable answer will
come:
Thou wilt need all the strength
God can give,
Simply to live, my friend, simply
to live
All this may be taken for granted,
land since in every life there seems
to be a certain number of dark and
rainy days, why isn't it the truest
wisdom, the best philosophy, to en-
JOY to the full the sunshiny ones?
We all have some especial plant
and some especial plea. My little
plant is that l think the world
might be a better and happier place
i if we'd let all the prisoners out OF
the prisons and shut up all the kill
joys in their places.
I'd much rather spend some
Ibreathless hours listening to the hair
raising "reminiscences of an entertain
ling burglar than to have to hear the
