Summer Fabrics
Are Fascinating

We hold out our hands to welcome
the real summer weather, because,
observes a fashion writer, there comes
our chance to take on the picturesque
garments, and this year not only have
the summer fabrics been perfected to
q formerly unsupported degree, but
their ineness and beauty have In
spired the creators of fashions to work
them into more fascinating summer
frOcks. There are things that can be
done with cottons and linens and soft
silks that could not be attempted In
more cumbersome fabrics. And this
year they have been done in a most
expressive way. OF trimmings there
are few and those which do appear
are handled in a restrained manner,
being applied only where they will
show to their best advantage. They
sink into the gown as though they
were a pre-conceived part Of 1t, in
stead of something flung on at the
last moment, when the idea of trim
ming suddenly became uppermOst.
So many are the fabrics, both Of
domestic and imported origin, that no
one Of them can be said to hold the
lead above another. But the thin or.
candles and swiss and dotted mulls
certainly have received a lot Of atten-
ton and all buying signs point to the

Buckwheat is quite liked by fowls,

to vary the ration, but Is usually tool

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing

An examining physician for one of the

an interview on the subject, made the as

so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble il 80

that they have the disease. It Is on sale

Of grub, they would have made n winning
fight for their personal liberty, and got 1T.
No woman can take mans latch key
away from him il he is determined to hold
on to it. No wife will try bawling out her
husband unless she has shrewd idea that
he will stand for it, while as for Mysteries
and tears, and scenes, they are merely,
weapons that she uses to get her own way,
and that she abaudons If she frds they
don't win out.
And women have the kind of husbands
they deserve. The reason that women,
ss n sex, are more faithful to their hus-
bands than their husbands are TO them, ~
because men wont stand for the kind OF
conduct in women that women endure IN
men. Probably there are just as ma'y
women with a rowing fancy as there are
men. Just as many women are attracted
by handsome, dashing young chaps. who
do not loo k in the least like their fat, bald
headed husbands, as there are middle-aged
men whose eyes are caught by some willow
chicken.
But the woman sighs, and passes on,
because she knows that her husband would
raise ruotions if she indulged in a ilirta-
tion: but her husband takes the chicken
out TO lunch and sends her violets. When
women cease to forgive, and demand
that mans slate shall be as clean as
their own when they marry, and that he
keep it as clean afterwards, there'n be
something doing in the single standard of
morals. And until they do, the philan-
dering husband is just the sort OF husband
they deserve
There's the poor, meek, abused woman
who STAYS at homo and washes, and cooks,
and scrubs, and baby tends, while her hus-
band sports around In glad attire and
spends more money in one night on other
women than she can pinch out OF the
grocery bill in six months Her husband
never takes her out anywhere, never
makes her a present. or gives her a little
treat He never speaks to her except TO
find fault with her. She is nothing but
servant, except that she gets no wages.

She's got exactly the sort of husband she

for the ropular conception of the situation
il that q disagreeable husband or wife is an
affection visited upon one by n mysterious
Providence for purposes one cannot even
pretend 10 understand.
There are few people who have the cour-
age to admit that they brought their
matrimonial misfortune down on their own
heads by not taking sufficiently long and
careful look before they leaped into the
+, holy estate. And there are still fewer who
are willing to admit that the domestic ills
from which they suffer are no more than
what is coming to them because of their
cowardice in weakly submitting TO mall
! treatment, instead of fighting for their
rights until they got them.
Nevertheless this is true. We get just
what we demand Of life, and we do have
the sort Of husbands and wives we de-
serve. notwithstanding all the martyred
husbands tied to she-cat wives.
