Case Where Matinee Idol Tactics We're Reversed but This

THERE are so many instances where

half to blame for the advances Of the

the other side of the story presented

that some one wanted to speak with her

Avoid Divorce

Broken Hearted Wife-Divorce is a
very serious matter and never to be
sought unless every other remedy fails.
For your chidrcn's sake it would seem
better not to apply for one. Give your
husband to understand that IL he brings
another woman to your house to live
YOU will not tolerate it and will not
remain there. but that he need not
hope for a divorce, rs you can oblige
him under the law to provide for you
and his children.
1t may be a passing temptation with
him. ! would treat it as such and not
let him see that it worries you. BE
brave and trust God and things will
come right, I am sure.
And be absolutely firm about not al
lowing another to come into your home
For advice go to the domestic relations
courts. and some one there will tell you
what he would be obliged to contribute
toward your support and the support
of the children.
1t would be wisest to go to that court
and consult one Of the women in charge
there before rOu take a definite step.

on ones side.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

THERE is every reason to believe
L after looking at the one piece dresses
offered for the fall and winter seasons
that blue serge has been sidetracked-
for a while at least The serge has,
however, left its influence behind, for
many of these dresses are in the navy
blue shade, so very popular in serge.
Tricotine, jersey and duvetyn are the
materials which are taking precedence
over the serge for new dresses.
There is. as you doubtless know. n
silk and q wooden duvetyn. The silk
kind is very lovely, but rather perish
able, while the wOolen kind is beautiful
and does give wear. though one could
hardly put it in the class with the
everyday materials. These duvetyn
dresses are made in the straight line

decorated with embroidery done in silk
or chenille. Sometimes embroidery is

braid that is used for ornamentation.

Adventures With a Purse

WHAT a real opportunity a hostess
w has of making her guest realize how
welcome she is! What a number Of
thoughtful little extras she can place
here and there about the room! Never
shall forget the day moved from the
main building to the quaint, cunning
cottage, with its four bedrooms and
bath. I didn't know the other three
and how timid felt about going And
then when I went into my bedroom
there saw a little vase of bright, happy
nasturtiums nodding a gay welcome.
Well, anyway, l must not digress. l
was speaking about extras for the
guest. And what made me think of
that, in the first place, were the dainty
wash cloths. They are made of Turkish
toweling. Some have squares outlined
in yellow, in which case there is a neat
crocheted shell stitch edge in yellow.
Others have squares in lavender, and
then the edge Is lavender. They cost
only fifteen cents each, with four priced
at fifty cents. Their reasonable price
and attractive appearance enable you
to give each guest a new and dainty
wash cloth.
Chains, chains, chains Short chains,
long chains, fancy and plain-such a
collection l have never seen. But from
among the many singled out one style
that somehow you'd notice as being dis
tinctively different from all the rest. 1t
is of pearly gray oxidized silver, cum
ningly wrought. And here and there are
balls or long, narrow pieces of pale jade
of cool green. They are, indeed, lovely,
these chains. and that you will like
them / am sure. The lowest priced
among them is $3.50.
And right alongside these chains, and
placed there, vow, by a knowing shop
keeper, who understands how hard it is
to resist a pin which will match ones
chain, right alongside them, then, are

that the man had his wife with him and
