OLD WIVES FOR NEW.
Bv DOROTHY DIX
HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

4 man who is So years old, writes
me that he has fallen in love with
"a beautiful young girl. and he wishes
10 marry her, but there is a difficulty
I'm the way. He is already married
and he has no legal excuse for di-
vorcing his faithful and devoted old
wife.
My wife is good woman he
SAYS, and she has been a great help
to me in making my fortune. as we
were Door when We started out, and
il was to her thrift, industry and
GOOD business judgment that 1 owe
much of my success. l do not for
get this. and 1 am willing to make a
good settlement on her il she will
onIy get out OF the way and let me
marry this young girl She refuses
10 do this, and I think it very selfish
OF her as she is old and rheumatic
and no longer attracts or interests

There isn't any use in telling a man

dresses worn. except at very formal
affairs, which only goes to show that
women are not as frivolous as some
would lead US to believe
Tulle is again in favor as a part
of the evening dresses. and, in some
instances, the entire frock is OF tulle
There is something very Elusive about
tulle. which makes 1t particularly ap-
propriate for evening dresses. as these
are really play dresses, and the use
of tulle seems to aid in carrying the
wearer into the world of ina gination
The -tulle scarf is now a part OF
every evening dress. and quite the
very smartest fad is to have the tuIle
scarf tone with ones hair For in
stance, a woman who has blond hair
should wear a scarf of a light golden
brown. A shade lighter than her hair.
These tullc sCarfs should be worn
wound loosely around the neck, to
form a frame for the face. the ends
falling down the back-to a point be-
low the hips is considered the proper
length.
Besides tulle for evening frocks, the
other materials used are metal bro
cades, satins and plain and figured
taffetas. As a rule the fiowered ia f =
fetas in large designs are the most
favored. am showing you one of
these dresses of fiowered tafreta to-
day. l have seen this same dress
both in white tafreta with roses N
shades OF pink with green leaves, and
the same pattern brought out in the
same colorings on a background OF
black. The trimmings also were of
the same colorings. The skirt iSstlrap-
ed at the left side and held at the
watstline with a large bow of old
blue velvet ribbon. The bodice, which
is OF the taffeta. is held in place with
cream lace. over tulle. and narrow
blue velvet ribbons.

CHAPTER 176.
| Find the Greatest Treasure in Dr..
Certeis' Room Is My Photograph.

I closed the door OF DR.. Certeis'
which was thickening N the hall. The
firemen had included the room in their
patrol and had left the lights turned
on. 1t was a most revealing room,
thought as l crossed it's threshold
rather reluctantly. in the way a wom-
an always enters the room of a man
who is not her husband, son or
brother.
Certeis' private suite certainly be-
trayed the man as / knew him-ele-
CANT, selfish and reserved. The apart
ment had been decorated to harmon
ize with some superb blue and yellow
Chinese rugs-antique treasures whose
cost would run we'll into six figures
Only one who loved beauty intensely
and for its own sake, and-only a very
selfish creature, would use such rugs
as common floor coverings. They were
what il. known as museum pieces. I"
Were Certeis to care intensely for
a beautiful woman, he might treat
her exactly as he treats these rare
rugs" l said to myself, 'he might
shut her away from the world-for-
ever"
Finishing my rapid survey of the
place. 1t occurred to me that nothing
had been permitted to interfere with
the glory of the rugs. There wasn't
picture on the walls, no design any
where to spoil the design of the car
pets. There was. however, a photo
In a delicate frame on the table.
What-who could possible mean
enough to Certeis to be worthy of a
place in his exclusive scheme of
beauty? l was in a hurry to find the
bag l needed, but the temptation to
see what kind of art Certeis kent a.
his bedside proved too much for me.

frame. turned it toward the light and

to him when he trades off his Old
wife for young wife, Life takes
it's own revenges. and in ever such
case the time comes when the old
husband suffers every pang OF jeal-
ousy. and knows every anguish OF
neglect, and shame that he has made
his old wife suffer
Look at the old husbands, gray
haired. pauchy, heavy eyes. tired and
worn, that you see forlornly gathered
together in the corners of ball rooms,
watching their beautiful young wives
dancing away the hours in the arms
of slim young chaps. Look at the
forlorn old husbands stumbling along
on their gouty feet in the wake OF
radlent young wives, knowing that
they are nothing on earth but Carriers
OF The Check Book. and Lord High
EXecutioners of millinery bills.
Recall the old men that you have
seen about fine country homes, less
regarded than the butler. whose sole
function it was to furnish food, drink,
cigars and motors for the horde of
young men with whom the beautiful
young mistress of the establishment
flirted. played tennis, two-stepped

There was no happiness there. no

nothing but the buyer and his bargain
with the bargain trying to collect the
last penny OF the price for which she
had sold herself.
The man Of s. may fool himself into
thinking he is stin young. He may
even keep up tho fiction of his youth
until he gets rid OF his old wife ana
marries the young one. but when his
canouflage is brought into contact
with actual youth he finds out quickly
enough the real truth. He is old.
He finds that he cannot go the
pace OF youth; that he has no longer
the tastes OF youth. His old bones
cry aloud for rest when the days
work Is over. They want to be cos
seted with red flannel, rheumatism
liniments and the heat of the radiator.
Instead OF being dragged around to
places of amusement. Yet he must

her go alone. and whether it is better

real companionship between . and Is
he Is no little tin god as he was to
his old wife. He is a fossil. They
have nothing to talk about, and so
he comes to curse the day when he
traded on for baby doll. the woman
with whom he had every memory IN
common, and whose love and devotion
was as faithful as that OF a dog.
It's bad business trading of old
wives for new, and the man invariably
gets the worst OF the bargain.

If you have a good profile make
the most of 1t. Many a girl while
her full face is nothing extraor-
dinary has a strikingly becoming
profile. Don't forget that many
people see your profile long before
they may have the pleasure of meet
ing you face to face. Make your
profile attract. Make your profile
your strong point.
First of all study the lines OF your
profile by arranging two mirrors SO
that you can with case see yourself
as others see you from the side. De-
termine whether your hair should
be arranged low over the brow or
coiled over the neck. The great
thing Is to so arrange your hair as
to accentuate the beauty OF lines as
seen in the profile.
