But l saw SO little in those days that
the cheapest movie film was a thrill

actress wore seemed the last word in

thing delighted me. Yet all the way

SMART Wells AND GLOVES

When l see girls of Is and 16-and
sometimes younger-going along the
street wearing wells, | always want to
go to them and protest. Wells are the
property of the mature woman, and
not always even hers. Many women
are far too lovely 10 hide their beauty
behind even the sheerest silken film.
II you like wells, find out before you
wear them whether they are becom-
ing to you ar not They're not. you
know. to lots of women. They give a
delightful sense of mystery, they al
most hide. while yet revealing every
detail of woman's face. And if a
woman wishes to shut herself a wee
bin away from the world, by putting a
veil between it and herself, of course
that's her privilege.
But such is the complication of the
feminine temperament that | doubt
whether any woman yet wore veil to
hide herself !; trifle from the public
gaZe-except those in deepest mourn
ing.
I'll admit nice wells are smart. If
you have shabby suit this winter or
ii your hat is not all you could wish
it, and can bring up the general effect
immensely by wearing a good looking

will give the illusion of youth to an

1t is unreasonable for you to work
so hard and get only abuse from your
husband. Probably you have done
100 much and lifted the responsibility
from his shoulders.
To go on living in the way you are
now will bring nothing but unhapri-
ness to YOU. If you must work, YOU
might as well live away from your
husband, where you will have peace
of mind.
Tell him that YOU have decided to
80 away and support YOURSELF but if
he cares to support You while you take
care of the home duties. YOU will re-
main with him. If he is spending his
income on the upkeep of the house,
