He did quit, Of course, but he quit
only when he could go no further.
No champion ever took a parting
such as he took. Bat Nelson had

lust such a face when he fought jim
Flynn here, and he went the limit,
but he didn't hit that hot canvas
seven times in a row and get up.
Jeffries, too, had very mussed up
map in his second fight with Fitzsim-
mons. but he was never on the moor.
You must remember that Willard was
knocked down hard every time he
took the count. He never once drop
ped to avoid punishment. He took
everything that Dempsey had and

the licking that he did in that first

He Wasn't DOwHeast.
Aonahan wasn't downcast over the
defeat Of willard, although it is a
terrible shock TO him.
SPoor fellow" said Monahan. he
was licked with that first punch. but

When he got back from the third
round he was worse than ever.
He asked me: whats up? Is the

We held a consultation and decided to

Even the most virtuous of her
sex likes to feel that she could be a
vampire if she only really wanted to
be. Women are fascinated by YAM
pire roles and interested to the
nth degree in vampirish clothes.
A very clever woman gave this as
an explanation of why women like
black spangled gowns and why
they are so enthusiastic over fringe,
for both of these things seem nee
essary to the successfully costumed
vampire.
Frincie and spangle can be
wholesome in general effect. The
rather active young person shown
suggests a normal, busy woman far
too taken up with things that are.
to go around poking up emotions.
Fringe usually has rather sem
suous grace and suggests the 1.-the
ness OF a panther, but in this in
stance the fringe is of wool so that
it loses that popularity imme-
diately.
The dress is wool jersey, a light
reindeer shade and the fringe is the
same. The over blouse has a clever
finish. The wool is braided and
scwed to the Jersey in rows alter
mating long and short, the lower end
OF the braiding carrying out the
same unevenness. The skirt has a
straight knee length band of fringe
which is, of course, put in over the
material. since this is America and
not France. For robes in time and
evening dresses, American women
wear fringe to cover their silk clad
legs, but they are not adopting this
idea for street wear. A braided
girdle holds the straight chemise
blouse in at the waist line and there
is chemsette of black satin which
may be alternated by anything one
desired.

Fringe and Wells and Other Things

yelled this fall even more than
usual, it is we'll that so many hats
are close fitting enough to carry a
veil we'll.
When a big ocean liner docked a
few days ago, bringing in many
prominent women, it was noted that
without exception they all wore
wells. They were OF the ramage
type, large silk meshes, sometimes
of the filet variety, hand embroider-
ed in darned stitch with self colored
floss. There were a few Chantilly
wells, but the embroidered nets were
far the handsomer and newer. As
we have cautioned before, the EN-
broidered section is often placed
over the hat, the face being yelled
only with the heavy net.
Otter other wells were used as a
drapery only and hung off one of
the hat points. Since we are to have
Louis XVI fashions we must expect
to have Marquis hats and all sorts
of interesting tricornes. Other wells
are wrapped around the throat in a
sort of scarf effect, so it is advised
to study the new arrangements as
related to ones type.
The veil OF today is not worn sole
ly to keep the hair in place. Hair
nets answer that purpose, but wells
have higher calling. They become
frame for the face, a softening
scarf which caresses the throat, or a
picturesque drapery which is far
more ornamental than useful
While there are made" wells,
costing by the way a tidy bit, there
are many by the yard quite as smart
and considerably less expensive.
With browns and all that the
word implies of style, heading the
list of popular street shades, veilings
in these colors are most in demand.
The gamut of reindeer and taupe
shades is run, and since most wo-
men find such shades infinitely less
trying to the complexion than black,
this is welcome fad.
+ The veil need not of necessity
match the hat. For the brilliant
orange velvet hat nothing is smarter
than tete de negre veil. The bright
Jade hat is toned with one of either
brown or taupe rather than black,
the choice always permitting ones
individual taste in color

More About "Innocent."

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
'Innocent's" letter I read with in
terest, your reply with honest ap-
prevail, and the criticism regarding
your reply with much disgust.
Innocent" knew when he took
this girl to the dance that her
character was questionable. He
knew he was playing with fire, did
1t deliberately and now, with
scorched fingers, he sets up a glori-
Gus howl
How anyone can find it in their
heart to champion such cheap
sport I cannot understand. Why
should he not pay? Why should
he 90 free? The girl will pay many
times over for her mistake, even if
he does give her and the child his
name.
If he does not marry her, think
of her future-you girls who have
undertaken to prove Innocent"
all that his title implies-think if
it were you who were facing her
future. Her life will be ruined.
Would you have him go scot free
and let her pay the penalty for
both?
Yes, I have brothers of my own,
also. If l ever dreamed of them
doing such a low, dishonorable trick
as to leave a girl in trouble, would
disown them.
l think, my dear Daily Reader"
that know boys and men, perhaps
as we'll as you, and, judging by your
letter, I believe a little better.
This thing Of women carrying all
the burden of morals is, and always
has been, to me, one of the most un-
just things in this world.
this responsibility of keeping NOR
YOU think He created men weaker
in will power than woman?
I wonder sometimes if men real
lie the double fight a woman has
to put up-against herself and
men?
Suppose we take "Innocent's"
case and change the order little.
Suppose innocent" is a girl. Sup
pose she accepts the escort of a
man Of questionable character. Sup
pose it turns out the same way. Who
gets the blame? The girl. you say.
because, knowing the mans charac-
ter, she had no business to go with
him. And she would not have
right to do so, knowing she had
not physical strength to combat
with such a man.
In "Innocents" case it is Just the
same, only instead Of physical
strength he lacked strength Of will
to combat temptations offered by
the girl. Do you see?
Now. why is a girl in case Of
that kind any more to blame than
the man in the parallel case?
Boys think it is smart to sow wild
oats-to be a sport--and he is not
discouraged greatly In it. Nice girls
accept him in their company just
the same. They do not give much
thought to the consequences nor
care greatly who reaps the crop
besides themselves-if they do
reap it.

Engaged.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Have read your advice to others in
The Bee, therefore thought I'd ask
a question or two also. Why Is the
engagement ring placed on the left
hand? OF what should hope

you allow your friend to kiss you
goodnight?
Please answer in the next edition
Of The Bee and thanking you in
advance l am, your friend,
A. B. G.
The wearing of the engagement
ring on the left hand Is an old
custom. A hope chest should hold
linens for the new house and many
dainty personal things for the
bride. Good night kisses seem
synonymous with engagements, SO
why reverse the rule?

Odd Use for Textiles.

The demand for textile fabrics for
use in various unexpected ways may
be seen from inspection OF the
Questions and answers page in a
single issue of the Textile World
Journal"
One correspondent writes for ad
vice in the finishing of textile mate
rial to be used for powder puffs;
another inquiries what fabric can
best be used for an airplane runway
in muddy airdromes. A third COM
plains that his silk cloth looks cot
tony" and wants to know what he
shall do about it. Still another de-
sires information regarding the wa
terproofing powers of aluminium
stearate. The editors answer to the
question about the airplane run away
is interesting, and we quote it, as
follows:
"In our opinion the most available
and satisfactory material for use as
runway for airplanes on muddy
ground is cocoanut mating, or a
somewhat heavier material than jute
cotton bagging. 1t is possible, of
course, that ordinary jute cotton
bagging would be found satisfac-
tory for light machines, or that two
thicknesses of this bagging super
imposed could be used, for heavy
machines as we'll. However. it is
our impression that cocoanut mat
ting would be the best all-round
material, providing the cost is not
considered prohibitive."

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I

column and I consider most of
your replies to letters just, but as
there is an element Of uncertainty
in 'Innocent's" letter, I think you
decidedly overstepped the line when
you called him a coward.
While his letter impressed me as
being sincere and as not being
guilty OF The charge made by the
girl, yet at the same time the sem

strange to me. If there was no wrong
relations why should she make that
remark to him? However, girls in
