The woman of limited income is
 always glad of an opportunity to find
 a conservative interpretation of the
 mode. She buys but one or two new
 frocks each season and chooses those frocks for the maximum of service
 as well for their fashionable lines. The three frockS sketched above are the delegates from fashions court sent to help her make her choice. The woman who wears high collars well will like the frock on the left.
 Very simple lines and a unique trim ming give it a most distinctive and | charming air. Three large pleats are set in the skirt at the sides. These pleats are emphasized by means of a 1 field of contra sting material. i This design lends itself especially well to developn ent in serge. Make l it of navy-colored serge and trim 1t ! with folds of French blue duvetyne.
 There should be a fold of the duvetyn | at the very top Of the collar as well as at the bottom of the neck line. | Dark brown duvetyne, with bands | of tan is also a charming possibility. | Gabardine, poplin, tricotine, poiret | twill, jersey cloth or any of the heav- | fer wool materials will also look weel l with this design.

IF WIVES AND MOTHERS
 SHOULD STRIKE-WHAT? !?

The story is told of an old farmer.
 who, when sitting by the beside of
 his dying wife, asked her if she
 would fly to meet him when his
 replied: 'I can't say, John. Perhaps
 I'll feel more like Rying after I have
 had a spell O resting." It was too
 late, but poor old John understood.
 Few men and fewer children know
 what an endless round of duties the
 wife and mother has who must do
 her own work. In many instances she
 tolls uncomplainingly on until the pronounces the death due to "de- cline,' when in reality it was too
 much hard work.
 Men are frequently more thought less than unkind about these things. Because the wife does not complain | he never thinks of the help that she might have had until it is too late. 1 If you would ask a man f she would | be willing to be left with perhaps five | or six children on his hands for. lack
 of a little outside help, he would be
 panic stricken and quickly say: "GoodneSS me, mol" A woman who is still young among | her ch1ldren's children, when asked how she managed it, answered Tn l these words: ''I made it point to | take a little rest every day, regard less of what else happened. I took | it usually just after the midday meal. When the children were babies, 1 took 1t swhen they had their nap, ln- | stead of breaking my neck to get a I lot done while they slept. When | there was anything that my husband i could help me do, I asked him in a | sweet way and he was always glao l to help me. When it was possible,
 once every week, he insisted on keep l ing the babies and letting me have l the evening to do just as 1 pleased. | Then when the children grew larger, | each one had their little duties to 1 perform I wanted to keep my health 1 and be able to stay with my husband | and children as long as possible, and | l am glad that I am still with them, | tho they are grown and have babies l of their own, still I feel that my hus- band needs me now as much as ever | What great pity there are not | more women as wise as this one. She | was dealing in the best kind of 'fu- tures.'

TEA THE BEVERAGE
 OF THE HOUR

Tea, is becoming more and more a popular American beverage. Whether this is due to the returning veterans of the European War, whose taste for the delicious product was stimu lated by English customs or in the trenches, is a amooted question. Nev- erthe1ess, there- is mo. doubt of it's greatly growing popularity. Prohibi- tions doubtless, has helped somewhat in the consumption of the beverage
 To have tea kept at it's best the housewife should remember that it be kept in a closely covered retainer. Never buy tea in bulk form, for like crackers, when exposed to the air, it's goodness is quickly absorbed by the atmosphere. Experts will tell you the only proper way is to have it in a. sealed, air-tight metallic packet, such for example as the Salada tea packets.
 Remember always that tea becomes stronger the longer it is allowed to remain in the tea pot. If the tea leaves rise to the top instead of sink ing to the bottonfshyou may be sure that you have not made it properly. This is the testimony of experts the world over and the directions need to be carefully and painstakingly fol- lowed out.

ADVICE 10 LOvELoRN
(By Beatrice E'airfax) SHALL THE WOMAN PAYo
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am 25 years old. When I was IS Fl became infatuated with man. I thought I loved him as he loved me. later I met a real man, who has proven himself time and again to be my ideal He is 30 now. Our love has gone on for six years, and each He knows of my acquaintance with the other man and will not marry me. long for a. home and kiddies and him. I feel that I can live down my chance. The first man has conn plete1y gone out of my life. Now | what can I do I am desperate, and at times think have made a terrible mess of my life. I have often at | frantic at the very thought. Our six years companionship has been won | derful. Is my whole life to be a wreck for the one mistake I made in my youth? Should the first man be made to pay? He is still unmarried and a reconciliation is absurd. Is my f1ance of today just in his attitude A contributor to your columns wrote one day that a girls past should be | forgotten My ideal thinks differently |-he is broad minded, still he cannot overlook my mistake.
 Again I quote the Great Teacher I who said to sinner, hardened in wrongdoing, taken in evil, not con- fessing and repenting one tragic blum der:
 Neither do I condemn thee; go | thou and sin no more."
 The man who cannot follow Christ's noble words lacks the best of his own manhood.
 To me it seems a criticism on mans inhumanity to mani when hear of a fellow-being who cannot be kind to one who has known temp tation and surmounted it. You are what you are today. It is sad thai you have so bitter and regretful mem. ory but it should not shut out from life. Any one can come back. should hate to be the one to deny his chance
 to any other human being. Again quote the Great Teacher:
 ''Whosoever among you is withou , sin, let him cast the first stone-' How can man who truly love | add cruelty to the suffering thu
 years gone by have given you? Un
 less you were arrogant and hard abou
 your mistake there is no kindly ex planation of a love that knows so lit
 tie of generosity, tenderness or for giveness.

The winter mode approves of vel vet as a material for both afternoon and evening gowns. If one doubts this, one need only stroll thru the shops and observe the great number of velvet frocks which are displayed upon every side. For afternoon wear such frocks prefer the material to be dull in coloring so that it will afford an effective background for the bril- Iiancy of the embroidery.
 The frock pictured above is made of dark blue velvet and the embroid- cred rings are done in henna wool Narrow black satin ribbon is used for | the girdle. Notice the simple yet graceful lines of the, frock.

A VICTIM OF ANGER

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 Five years ago I met and learned to love a, quiet, unassuming young man. Shortly after we quarreled and drifted apart.
 Recently he wrote me a friendly letter asking me to meet him; 1n a fit of anger I indiscreetly destroyed it, without even noticing the address: Now I have experienced a change of heart and do want to get in touch with him, but I hesitate to ask my friend, lest his attitude toward me has changed, in which event l would be greatly embarrassed.
 STELLA. Have little more faith and lit | tie less pride. If you can't trust this | young man and feel he's weather i vane, of course you'd do well to for get him. If you have any belief in
 his stability, ask your friend for his
 address; and in future have a. little | more control over your temper.

 made of a brilliant electric blue? The
 band of embroidery around the bot tom of the overskirt might well be

 be used quite effectively with the de- sign.
 The design at the right, although it , seems to be almost too severe in it's simplicity, will be nose | charming g made up in a soft clinging silk.
