GOING-GONE.

1t is a triumph. Joanie dearest,
when you can (under some difficult
ties) rouse a man to interest--and
of snow.
That is what did yesterday TO
Capt. Wallis.
Oh, girl. can see your darling
prim lips draw down into straight
line. your soft eyes grow hard and
your lovely brow corfugate disap-
provingly as you read. But. friend
of my heart. take off the brakes for
once and try to let yourself go.
Understand me. For I am only a
typical girl. Loving is woman's first
nature. We all go about with our
little dIvining rods. saying, rs this
the man for me? Is this the one?
o, where is he?" And when ever a
man attracts us, in one Of the three
great ways, personally, mentally.
spiritually, we rush to learn whether
or not he responds. For 1t is
woman. and not man. whose chief
business is Love and the perpetua-
tion of Life.
Capt Wallis committed the crime
of failing TO follow up at the psyche
logical moment his advantage! He
permitted himself the luxury of'rest.
He found me from the very start only
too willing to be q rest to him. He
was fresh home from the war. / too,
in my way was a warrior. / had
struggled with the world for five, hard
weary years. Joan. And without the
pomp and glory and acclaim OF war
So that / understood him. And gave
him what he most needed-yet with
the coating of feminine lure. I offer
ed him rest. The others challenged
him to further conquest
He doesn't know women well. Else
he would know when not to take
things for granted. A man must ever
keep up at least the appearance OF
pursuit.

REMNANTS Of
RIBBON HAVE
VARIED USES

Ribbon is an asset in the sewing
room. 1t behooves the woman who does
her own sewing to keep her bargain
eye open for short lengths Of all
widths In the standard colors OF
white, black. navy blue and flesh
and to provide a ribbon box that she
may consult upon short notice.
A straight hem is easily faced with
soft ribbon of three-inch width. for
instance. Time is saved in not hay-
ing to turn in a raw edge and money
in not having to buy possibly more
silk than is needed to get the two
widths of facing.
Narrow silk ribbon will face a sleeve
or neck in a jiffy. No minutes vast
ed In searching for a length of silk,
nor, In piecing small bits together!
OF course. where a bias facing is
needed a ribbon is often useless,
though II 1t is soft enough 1t may
be gently fulled on TO the curved
edge to give enough spread" when
1t Is turned over and hemmed.
A length Of ribbon will often exc
out remnant Suppose you have
length of crepe de chine which yod
are anxious to turn into a straight
topped chemise. II is just a bit too
short. Now look through your ribbon
box and you will find a little over a
yard of dresden or blue satin ribbon
that you picked up cheap on a bar
gain table. Fagoted to the crepe de
chine. 1t makes a decorative top and
fills the bill as well as new silk.
Just a few inches OF wide ribbon
often comes in handy. It will make a
vest In the front OF a chiffon or silk
dress and provide the necessary color
touch. Indeed some Of the prettiest
OF the new gilets are made from a
length OF wide brocaded ribbon. A
yard OF ten or twelve-inch brocaded
RIBBON will make a stunning bodice
for the evening frock with a mimi
mum OF work. And when your silk
dress pattern does not yield enough
material for sash. Just try ribbon
for Il change
Go Binding with ribbon has been the
salvation of many a makeover Two
thin blankets, neatly trimmed and
oasted together can be bound with
cheap ribbon and make an at
tractive bed covering Pockets may
be bound with ribbon, an old veil
freshened by a ribbon border, short
sleeves or skirts that will not allow

Slipping the Yoke Of Matrimony

Slipping the Yoke Of Matrimony.
(Copynrht, 1879. hy the wheelsS Syndicate. Incl
Among my acquaintances are a
husband and wife who are singularly
happy though married. and still in
love with each other, although they
have celebrated their silver wedding.
This fortunate couple attributes the
success they have made OF matri-
mony largely to the fact that each
has taken an evening of every week,
and each has had a separate vaca-
tion every year.
My husband and I are unusually
congeuial," said the wife in explain
ing their plan of life. but we do not
think alike on every point. nor have
we precisely the same tastes. 1t is
impossible that any two people should
have exactly the same opinions, likes
and dislikes, and especially when the
two people belong to different sexes.
Men and women are radically diff
ferent That's what makes them in
teresting to each other and makes
them fall in love with each other
And the thing that makes them bore
each other, and fall out OF love with
each other is when each has TO saCri-
nee his or her inclinations or prefer
ences and point OF view to the other
And it's all so silly and needless.
About nine-tenths of the friction
in matrimony is the result OF people
still holding on to idiotic superstitions
whose tomfoolery they rebel against
yet haven't the courage<to to defy. One
OF these antique fetishes is the the
ory that husbands and wives must
forever tag each other. and that the
marriage bond must be a fetter that
shackles them together like two poor
prisoners chained to each other.
LOT course in time people will ac-
quire enough intelligence to realize
this. and to deal with matrimony on
sane platform, instead of taking
the absurd position that because
man and a woman are fond of each
other and like to be together some
times they want to be forced to be
together continually
Believe me, only the foolhardy
risk infiicting their perpetual society
on each other"

Every woman has youth, beauty and mod
esty when she starts out on this old journey
through life, but by far the most important
of these assets is modesty.
However, in this generation it seems to
be very difficult to keep, and some probably
give up the fight very early in the game,
others not so soon but eventually, and, thank
goodness, some not at all. If they would
