-hree bands of the seIf-materiaD can not at an unguarded place disclose any waist line seam.
 The sleeves are set in and button up almost as far as the elbow.
 The adjacent triangle dress lends itself to satin or charmeuse develop naent. The vest, back and front, is Q triangular piece of self-material. A tyv-o-tone ribbon is used about the neck and ties in a small bow in the center of the front.
 The two triangular tunics are both distinctive and graceful. They extend almost entirely around the skirt, 1eav- ing only front panel distance between the two edges. A soft satin ribbon Is used for the girdIe and ties with a loop and end upon the side back.
 Then there is the jacket-way of looking well in your street frock. The model pictured should be developed in serge, tricoti1e or some other wooIen. The Eton effects are coming on fast, so you will be a bit ahead of the game if you get yours now.
 The vest is of satin, braided in self color. A simulated ribbon of self material strings through the smart little jacket to confine it within frock limits.
 The skirt is perfectly plain, excep: for the petite suggestion of a tunic which ends just below the jacket.
 Any one of them would add to your fascination, Charming Thirty!

WOMAN GETS
 fINANCIALHELP AT ASSOCIATION

In the rush of it's always young life the world has little time to think of the very old. Yet the mantle of responsibility is just as dear to the old man or woman who has little to look forward to in life as to the young.
 Some months ago there climbed the steps of the Bridgu port Protective As sociation on Myrtle avenue a very old lady who was dressed with scrupu- Ious neatness in black. In evident en1- bara ment she explained that she had read about the work of the Bridgeport Protective Association in the papers and she hoped that they might be able to help her. She need ed five dollars badly to meet an obli- gation and if they would lend it to her she would repay it shortly. This was the first time, she explained very carefully, that she had ever had to ask anything of anyone.
 It was explained to her that al though it was not the policy of the Association to lend money, they would gladly help her out of her embarass- ment. She thanked them gratefully for the loan and went away. A short time later she returned it.
 It was not long before she came again and again money was loaned her. This went on for some time. Every few weeks she would come for two, three or five dollars and always she would return it. But each time that she came she seemed more feeble and each time she had more difficul- ty in climbing the steps of the home
 She was so respectable an old lady and she always returned the money so carefully that the workers of the As sociatiOn became especially interested in her. They found that she lived all alone in a small rent and apparently she had no one in the world. They used to send her food, nOC whole meals, because she was not the kind of a person to accept charity, but nourishing dainties, such as custardS and good soups. It was evident that she had a, small income and that the money loaned her every few weeks was keeping her from the poor house.
 One day she returned a part of seven dollars which she had borrow ed. She did not come back again and a few days later her obituary appear ed in the papers.
 It is broad charity such as this which the Bridgeport Protective As sociation dfspenses. One does not have to come within certain regulations. So long as there is a need, it endeayOrs to meet it These needs are many and consta mt in Bridgeport and the Asso- ciation wants to keep meeting them To continue it's good work IL must have s6,O0O and it asks the people of Bridgeport to contribute this at its tag day next Saturday.

NVEfHIAT GIRL WILL MAKE BEST
 WIFE?

After two well-knoWn Chicago jus hces. who have listened to over 1000 divorces cases have pronounced the middle class girl as the best wife, Justice Peter A. Hendrick of the New York Supreme court says she is not.
 He says, Whether she is rich, poor or middle class tl1at doesn't decide whether she is a good or bad wife It's the girl who is willing to go half way all the time with man, the girl who enters mauimony with the right attitude, who will make the best wife of all''-
 On the other hand, Justice George Barrett of Chicago says: The girl for 8 good wife is one who has been brought up in moderate circun- stances, but has learned to run her household on whatever she can af- ford. A girl of wealth doesn't as a rule receive the training essential to married happiness
 ''Tne real poor girl too often mar ries and brings with her too little ed ucation and too little experience with the responsibilities which are to be hers.'' That is the opinion of Judge David Brothers of Chicago.
 But to Justice Wagner of New York it isn't the class. creed or race-it's the girl herself who makes her mar ried fife one of happiness and success or brings il to the divorce court.

Household Hints

Now that coIored handkerchiefs are so popular it is well to know how to preserve the color. They require special care in washing. They should be soaked for ten minutes in tepid water to which turpentine has been added-a teaspoonful to a basin of water-and then washed in the usual manner.
 Hot water marks can be removed from polished tables by applying a thin paste made of salad oil and salt. Let 1t remain about an hour, then wipe off with a soft cloth.
 Onions should always be boiled in water that has been salted; other wise they lose much of their flavor.
