NEW STYLES In WRAPS.

1t may be that a cape Is easier
to wear in summer than a coat, or
that the same process of activity
has reached out in a demand for
extra wraps; but, whatever the
source Of the demand, the apparel
merchants are delighted to find 1t
on the increase.
The French designers have sent
to this country a large number of
alluring capes, and each of these
designs Is copied by the dozen. The
sweater Is no longer considered the
only garment for protection in
warm weather.
The sport coat is not the only
kind of wrap that the average wom-
an desires. She is not spending her
entire time at home or in the ath-
letic field, and therefore she wants
another kind Of wrap, and a cape
satisfies her.
The kind intended for service Is
Of thin cloth or wooden jersey, with
a long vest like a skeleton front,
on which there are deep patch
pockets and from which the mate
rial floats away in circular folds
over the shoulders.
The other kind of cape that has
come into fashionable prominence
Is on the order of an elongated
scarf. or, rather, two of them put
together in the middle.
The top scarf Is Of a plaid, striped
or checked fabric, or it may be of
the same fabric as the lower scarf,
covered with q heavy crewel en-
broidery in colors.
The lower scarf Is plain and there
Is clever trick Of turning It int
the two deep cuffs at its upper edge
The arms, thrust through these
cuffs. keep the cape In place.

HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20.

This is a frtunatC day, aCCOrdi < to
the aStrUlOgers, for Neptune and Sa
turn rule strongly for good.
During this sway of the stars there
should be much activity among mines
and increase OF production.
1t is fortunate sway for Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and Colorado.
Farmers should find this an encour-
aging day for certain agricultural
tasks and work performed during
this COniiguration should be most
productive.
Neptune gives promise Of safety to
travellers on the water, and in SGn is
good for the navy.
The seers read for the coming month
many significant events which will
tend to decide the course Of the war.
1t has been persistently predicted by
astrolOgers that as late as February
there might be hope of a Sudden
peace" but January is unanimously
agreed on as a decisive month.
For young folk a period of great
mental and spiritual development is
prognosticated. and genious will be
recognized in art, literature and
science.
The remainder of the winter may be
marked by a heavy mortality among
persons of every age. Intestinal COM
plants as well as diseases of the
lungs and throat may be unusually
prevalent.
Scandals that affect persons in high
place are again fOreshadowed.
This is a fortunate sway under
which to travel. 1t is a lucky time
to begin long journeys.
Congress will be subject to forces
Of extraordinary power when it takes
up its work in the new year, and
more than half a dozen of its mem
bers will be responsible for sensa-
tions.
Some sort Of an upheaval in one Of
the departments at Washington Is
presaGed by the stars.
Persons whose birth date It Is may
have a year of hard pull in busi-
ness.
Children born on this day are likely
to be steady and persevering. Ties

cessful in everything but marriage.

she shall not give him any money"
was the way Pat answered my expla.
nation OF Alice's efforts to help Har-
yey. He was very stubborn. It seemed
to me. ;,
As he repeated his objection to his
wife's giving any money to the man
whom she had once loved Il came over
me that the notion Of Alice's wanting
To make Harvey's deathbed more COM
Portable did not mean so much to Pat
as her giving him money. -.
Somehow the alacrity with which
Alice had proceeded to place in Har-
vey's hands all the money she had
saved seemed to Pat more Of a decla-
ration Of devotion and love than any
thing else she had done or could do.
Little book, why will people make
such a fetch of money?
Why is 1t that it seems to mean
everything to US?
Why does It stand above every
other standard when we measure
mankind?
Oh, 1 know. little book. that II
you could speak you would proba-
bly, say that l am wrong in declarins
that we Judge everything In the
world from a money standard. but

We let money come between Is and

fortunate turn of circumstances

I believe, little book, that more
marriages are made unhappy over
the question. OF money than any
other thing. Most women could
stand inhdeiity In their husbands
easier than they could stand the
constant recurrence OF the question
of how and where the money is
spent that Is grudgingly doled out
to them.
Now l know that Pat does not really
care a bit about that 5000, but some
how 1t seems to him that the very fact
that Alice is ready to part with such
big sum must perforce illustrate the
wealth of her interest in the person
to whom she gives it.
OF course, l did not think OF all this
WHSLE 1 Was talking to Pat, because
was trying to form some arguments
that would cause him to talk the mat
ter over with Alice. l could not per-
suade him to do this. and I only got
him to say that l could tell Alice
everything he had said to me after
much anxious persuasion.
THE whole fabric OF your married
life depends upon it. Pat" said ear
nestly. You have come to the part
ing OF the ways. Either you and Alice
will go on together in unity and un-
derstanding or you will go farther and
farther afield until you will not be
able to clasp each others hand or
even hear each others voice.
This seemed to impress Pat, and 1
was able before l set him down at
his office door to get his permission to
tell Alice. Little did l think. little
book. that / was going to have a
worse time over using my own money
in my own way than Alice had had.

FURLOUGH FROCKS.
LUCILLE CAMERON.

Now that our boys are coming In
from the camps to spend the too brief
holidays. it's the highest ambition
OF our little war wives and hopeful
demoiselles to impant memories in
the hearts Of our Sammies that will
make them proof against foreign
maidens II not foreign bullets. One
perfectly obvious way to attain this
goal is to leave an unforGettable pic
ture in the heart of your khaki boy.
And here we are back to the question
of clothes.
Dining with one Of our embryo gen.
erals on that charming little Powhat-
tan balcony was petite, rosy, flushed
maiden whose naive eyes gazed out
at the cosmopolitan crowd from under
the brim OF the most chick little hat
of ravens wing blue brocade shaped
on Napoleonic lines. The brim was
edged with a narrow band OF nutria
and a pompon OF the same fur CEN
tered the crown of the chapeau.
Equally charming was my young
lady's frock of cleverly draped ravens
wing blue velvet with its demurely
tied collar OF white brocade. The
surplice bodice was caught closely to
one side under a pearl buckle and the
skirt was gifted with a most puzzling
tunic, which seemed to have no def
mite ending. but just wandered around
from waist to hem line as 1t pleased.
When the demitasse had been served
and the little miss rose to go she
donned an extremely good looking
coat OF nutria with a wide upturned
hem caught loosely at intervals with
big buttons of the fur.
The pretty war wife OF a reserve
captain who is in town for a few days
is the quite fortunate possessor of a
distracting Ianvin picture gown in
that exotic new shade called encre de
chine. Long bishop sleeves flaring at
the hand and a deep square bertha
embroidered in a thousand fantastic
little figures combine to lend a true
Partisan touch. A tiny hat of black
v"lvet trimmed with a fluffy band OF
ltscuit tinted ostrich is the appropri-
ate supplement to this dress.
At the first performance OF Fair

formed the breast of the bodice A
broad tassel-ended sash OF the sylvette
adorned with a huge collar and deep
cuffs Of tailless ermine.

TYPHOID FEVER

From the United States Public Health Service
 He died of typhoid fever on Decem- Der. 1881"
 TO be the consort of a queen. to be be- loved by her people both high and low. to be the real, but unobserved, adviser of the affairs of an empire, these are achievements worth while. To be cut off from all of them at the prime age of 42 by wholly preventabie disease seems wanton.

It is essentially disease of young adult life. Older peo- pie are less apt to have it probably be- cause they have suffered from an attack of the disease in their youth
 Typhoid fever is known by various names, slow fever" tow fever" but whatever name it is called by, it kills about per cent of those whom it at- tacks. certain percentage of those who recover become carriers, that is, persons who, though well, excrete the organisms of the disease in their dis charges. Carriers are largely responsible for the perpetuation or typhoid fever, but the installation of proper sewer sys- tems which not only take away noxious wastes, but also do not deposit them in someone elses water supply, the aboli- tion of flies. cockroaches and other filth insects, the maintenance of a pure food apply and the intelligent care of the ty- phoid patient these are the measures which will rid us from this disease. Until very recently typhoid has been the scourge of armies, but now the antity- phoid inoculation has reduced this danger to a minimum.
 The prince consort was universally mourned. The grief of the Queen was deep and lasting and the whole nation sympathized in the truest sense with her in her sorrow. How many other widows of less exalted position mourn also be- cause of the rapacity of typhoid fever?

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 CRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Us ing Recipe ofSage Tea
 and Sulphur

Hair that loses it's color and lustre. or when it fades, turns gray, dull and life less, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men who value that even color. that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive. use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other in- gredients by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that mo- body can possibly tell it has been ap- piled. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disap- pears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound is that besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requisite to impart color and a youthful appearance to the hair. It is not intended for the cure. mitigation or prevention of disease.- Adv.

EXTRAORDINARY PROGRAMME
 AT THE RTALTO

The extraordinary programme of en- tertainment that is being offered at the Rialto theatre today, "The Secret of Eve" featuring Mme. Olgo Petrova and t.Patria," featuring Mrs. Vernon Castle, has been enjoyed by thousands. Either of these pictures is big att traction in itself and it is seldom that two such pictures are offered on one programme at a single price. "The Secret of Eve" is Mme. Petrova's latest release and is one of the best pictures in which this noted actress has ap- peared. The story is based on the the ory that every woman has secret and the secret of Eve is laid bare in this interesting production. The picture of "Patria'' now being shown is by far the most thrilling and interesting of all the "Patria" pictures. This pro- gramme will be presented today for the last time.

 Departing from this European reper- toire, she starred in Bella Donna,
