BIFURCATED SUIT
rnoTos eyVNpEnssSep go,

Some expert has given it as his opinion that men make the most clever skaters. To be sure every one has a right to his own ideas-and to giving expression to them if he finds it necessary, but such a statement is very likely to meet with a challenge. Be it as it may we are neither going to agree with or dispute his Honor the expert. We intend simply to say that it wouldn't be so strange if this should be true, and for one very good reason. Men have the freedom of their Hmbs and women have. not whether they swim or whether they skate they must do both with skirts confining their movements.
 That is, we should have said that it wouldn't be strange if the above had been true. For of late great are the changes that have been wrought in feminine costuming.
 Fashion is now coming to believe and not slowly-that there is a time and place for everything, even the bi- furcated garment. So nowadays when  Miss America wishes to romp she may do so in comfort with only one reservation-that she herself possess the proper nerve for the deed. As a matter of fact, though, most Of the modern girls have. Wartime knick- CTS on the farm and in the factories accustomed those who did not don them to the seeing of them.
 And should Miss America chooose such a costume as the one depicted above she need not blush for her ap- pearance-it is certain to be very charming, without even a suggestion of boldness that our little srandmoth- CTS would have been sure to proffer should the idea have been but whis- pered to them. Rose and white are responsible for the lovely color scheme.

JUST LOOK AT BLUE LAWS
 OF 1862

The bluest blue law of the oIuest blue law packer today is a pale robins egg blue beside the frolicsome little rules for Sunday observance laid down by'.A Person of Great Learning and Piety," for the direction of his children in England in 1862.
 Squire Abner Harpington posses ses a copy of the .-Contempla tions'' of this pious unknown Printed by William Godbid for William Shrews- bury at the Bible in Duke-Lane at Blew Bell in Fleet street near Chan cery-lane." in 1876.
 Condensed. here are few of the rules:
 '-It is not only unfit but unlawful and indecent to indulge in exercise and recreations. as bowling, shooting hunting and divers other recreations including the study of human learn ing on Sunday.
 You must not walk for pleasure no more than is enough to digest your meat and overcome drowsiness. About a half hour of sober walk l should deem best.
 You must not engage in cheerful or animated conversations nor talk of business, pleasure or learning ex- cept the learning of scripture
 You may give physic to the sick not dress meat which should have been prepared for table on Saturday,
 The worthy gentleman instructed the children to listen to the same ser mon morning and evening.
 He said he always observed Sun day so. only more so. and enjoyed it. He's dead now-

commissioner, why addictS are all lowed to be registered and be given the drug by law. Because we have no hospitals except the jail hospitals on Riker's and BlackwelPs islands. where even the most refined men and women-often unfortunate victims must be sent for treatment. Besides the undesirableness of association with criminals, there are no facilities at either of these institutions for oc- cupational therapy, vocational train ing, nor can the addict remain long CT than three months. If in the pres ent conditions the addicts were not all lowed to register and receive their prescriptions from physicians and their drugs from chemists they would fall into the hands of interruptions peddlerS and receive larger amounts of drug than they are now allowed by law.
 ''Too long has the addict, the slave of habit, been treated by the police and considered by the public at large as though he were criminal Too long has he been scorned. jeered at and deSpiSed as an especially detest- ible type of criminal He is none of these aracterS, you see.
 Criminal AddictS in Minority.
 There are, of course. addicts who are also criminals, but there are in the minority. There are vast num- are social miSfitS. It is unjust to throw them into institutions reserv- ed primarily for 1awbreakerS.
 Ut is often difficult to persuade the addicts to take hospital treatment. but by means either of depriving them Of their registration cards or by per suasion, many are induced to place themselves in a hopsital where they can be relieved of their craving and | by this hospitalization I do not mean | that they must be treated as though suffering from a disease. The actual I taking off of the drug requires but a | few days..o of medical treatment.
 But think of the position of such | a person who, after[medica1 treat ment, goes Gut into the world again 1 Neither his morale, nor his phys'ca' ] condition is strong He is out of touch

Craving For Color Finds Expression
 in The Midwinter Sports Costume
SCARF AND CAP

White, in its time, has served as a fail for moro clothes than 1t can re- member. It has been responsible for more effective schemes than its medesty allows it te admit. and there is every indieatisR Aat it will con- tinue on its gay eaEeeE.
 1FheneEeE fashion dots and dashes things with brilliant dyes she realizes we'll that if this stand of hers is to meet with approval she must provide a relief, 2ad this she does by intro dueing a background of white-or its opposite black:
 Then toe there is another part that White plays. Not every shade IS be- coming to-every complexion when worn against the skin but white fur nisfses the iepeIiest eff frames for rosy cheeks and 5rsght eyes when it finds expression in scarf and cap.
 There was time when that which was designed for wear in the coun- try never found it's way to the city streets but now spots are inter changeable for out of town nowa- days. No one considers as question able the taste of the woman who swathes her throat and crowds her curls with these twin style creations.

 Those were Meals words before he rushed from my apartment with his usually ruddy young face so drawn and white that 1t fully eStenuated as I hurried through my work and made ready to go to the Canteen his words kept mumbling through my mindb like an ugly refrain.
 Was Neal going to do anything foolish, melodramstic, in order to escape the Harrisons-of whose hos tile camp" his bruised feelings might lead him to fancy me one? I got though common sense prompted me after this fashion:
 Neal may be sensitive. but he isn't morbid. He may be hurt, but he's youth. And he has red hair and the ginger that matches tr.''
 Still. when Anthony Norreys drop ped in for a visit just before the noon rush. had to cling tight and with both hands to the reins of my own feelings.

DRUG ADDICTION IS HABIT,
 NOT DISEASE, SAYS EXPERT
Is Physically Impossible for One to Throw Off This Slavery Unaided, But Proper Treatment Results In Permanent Cures Door of Hope Revealed.

 New York.-Habit, so the dict;on- ary tells us. is a regular or fixed mode of action. It may be physical or men tai. or combination of the two.
 In another definition, habits are di- vided into three classifications-thos inborn, infused and, last, the acquired ones, which are made by a repetition of acts.
 To this 1ast-named group may be added the most pernicious and power full of all habits, that of narcotic drug using.
 Yet for years this repetition of acts''-piercing flesh with needles fill ed with forgetfulness, inhaling white powders that ring oblivion-has been called a, disease" Narcotic addic- ton, claSSed as a disease, therefore has been treated accordingly.
 Miss Sara Graham MulhaI1, deputy commissioner of New ' ork state De- partment of Narcotic Drug Control nas demonstrated in thousands of in stances that it is not a disease but nerely a habit, which has a psycho- logical as well as physical basis.
 This official has undertaken the diff cult and thankless role of enamel ator, to free the narcotic addict from . le enslavement of his habit Like her sincere crusaders the deputy
 mnissioner,, besides giving away arge part of her private fortune, has deprived herself of life long friend

DEVELOPING COAT

It is ever Interesting to notice how with different people. Consider the brisk breeze, for instance. It may blow no more 1larsh1y upon one wo- man than upon the other, but one it drives to the gas log for comfort while it lures the other to the open with an irresistible appeal While it is an unwritten law that in pleasures if in nothing else each individual shall choose those best suited to her fancy, still it might seem as though for the girl who walked up'' her own warmth rather than resort to artifi- cia1 means there was much to be said.
 There is a decided tendency toward
 the wearing of homespun-cheviot,
 tweed and the sort, and in this way, at least, we are very open in our ex-
 pression of admiration for the custom of our English cousins. And in this reaching of our hands across the sea" we have taken the best that they n2d to OlGT dilu 1IlOSl uIOSIlldDly dl- tractive are the American importa- tions and adaptations.
 In merrie England 'tis the sport that is of prime importance-cIothes are but of secondary consideration, and we are admitting in our accept ance of bat heeled shoes and woolen stockingssthat there is more than we at one time thought in this view of
 the matter.
 l Plaids are as popular now as they l ever have been, and when madame
 goes a-waIking, whether in the wind, | the rain or in air that-however clear has a sharp tang to it-she will ap-
 preciate the aI1-enveloping coat of
 homespun developed in her favorite combination of colors.

OUR TWO SOUL SIDES- Which of us is all good-or all bad Which of us is to judge until
 he understands? =

A great poet once raised his voice
 in thankfulness because each man
 had two soul sides-"one to face the
 world with, and one to show a wom-
 an when he loves her.
 All through life mankind shows the
 two tendencies-the fighting quality
 that has lifted him on and up in
 the world and the gentleness and ten
 velops into love when it focuses on
 one being.
 Recently there was much stir over
 an ugly divorce case in which the
 husband mercileSSly revealed to the
 world what he had ferreted out con
 cerning his wife'S attitude toward an
 other man. The woman was con
 demned. Her life seemed to reduce
 itself to terms of this and this alone:
 She was felt to be a faithless wife. Now I, myself, have felt always that treachery is the iblackest of crimes. And when a wife is faith | less fo herself and the man she has sworn to love. she is treacherous to ! him. to herself and to society as we'll as to all the highest standards to-
 ward which we are forging in the
 march of civilization So if there
 is anyone in the world toward whom I would not incline with mercy and federation it must be a woman who has betrayed her huSband-and her best self.
 Yet a few days after the greatest 1 publicity had been given to the ugly, sinful and tawdry side of this weak womans life a man came to me to
 ask me if I thought it as fair for 1 all the world to be dwelling on her wrong-doing and forgetting the rec ord of cleanness and strength and well-do oing that had gone before.
 This heroine of scandal has . pathet- ic history of good-behind her. All during the war this woman had given lavishly of her services in a
 difficult post She had worked hard. and without splurge or pomp- She accomplished big things. When the war hysteria died down she went on i into other good works growing out
 of the activity in hich she had been engaged.
 Four years of her life were given l to big fine, noble things. Then | weakness marred the character she was building, and the woman who should stand before her world as a
 where in the noble procession head ed by Clara Barton and Florence Nightingaie-is held up to scorn and shame with the dark ladies of his- ! tory.
 How shall we read her life? Is it a lesson that pride does indeed go before a fall? Are we to feel
 humbly that none can be sure of to so warily? If we take it this way, then we must also read out of l it the lesson of tolerance for weak ness and forgiveness for blunder- ings-
 Is this just another illustration ! that each of us may somewhere meet
 the temptation that he cannot with stand and so must prepare himself and train toward the strength with
 which to fight through?
 Or does it remind us that we
 mustn't judge till we know? For it | has been written, "To know all is to | forgive alf'-and so perhaps there 1 may be something in the story of the | oman given over for four years to good deeds that will today tighten her burden of guilt and make her

Advice To The LOvelOrn

-Seems.
 To me it xeems to show that life is too vast and too difficult for snap Judgments founded on cruelty and vindictivenesS- Temptation may as- sail and conquer the strongest. There may be hidden in those who seem most wicked something that is good and fine and big. But above all it behooves us to remember that there is no evil greater than our way of remembering evil and forgetting good. In all the stories of this woman's downfall no mention has been made of the good that seemed once to be of her. No word is said today in her defense. The good does not seem to count for her It's cruel-but true And it points a moral-and a warn ingSi

j Very Thankful.-Yo are very for ttunate in having long, thick, straight [black hair. Why not try comblng 1t tsoftIy back from the face and braid ling it into one long, loose braid, pin rning this around the head? This cor honet braid will show off beautifully sflIe quality of such hair as yours. fEince you are over-deveIoped in some lxrays and under-developed in others, if- mink it would be an excellent idea s1f you could join a gymnasium and fvet a systematic course of exercise.
 ITngrowable-I think the same an ;fywer applies to your question that ap- sDIies to the letter above. You are st1ll sGlite young and you will probably sxl,-oyy a. little bit more And certainly.

 Reader.-Fran111y. I think you are tverv foolish to worry over the freckles and vet I can quite sympathize with evou for doing so. Any sort of stl1n- fulating skin treatment will help to {nvtercom es~freckles, although I do not f1nean by that that you can get rid of jT1,em entirely simply through mas L~are.
