New York, April 27.-There is a
new idea in corsets which is likely
to appeal to the woman who pre-
fers gingham TO any other fabric
in hot weather. The idea is the
Bingham corset is cool and wash

checks with a binding of yellow,
pink or blue ribbon as the case
may be. With gingham underwear
and Bingham gowns, woman may
if she desires, be dressed in this
fabric throughout, even to her hat,
Paris, April 27.-Sleeves continue
TO increase in variety The very
latest is pair of ruffled cuffs, in
some shade to match the domin-
ant note of the costume, worn
about the wrists without a vestige
of sleeves except a nonchalant af-
fair of georgette that ends above
the elbow. Another notion is a
double sleeve, or a sleeve with two
wide folds one within the other, on
the forearm. From the lip of the
inner fold a handful of silk and or
candle flowers spills out into a
short garland
London, April 27.-No type of
jumper or slip-on blouse is more
popular than that of eponge. The
combination of eponge and Gre
tonne is especially liked at pres
ent. One jumper blouse seen at
an afternoon tea was of canary
eponge with a front panel of cream
and petunia cretonne in a conven-
tionalized floral design. A line of
canary ribbon piped the sleeve and
girdle and yellow crystal buttons
sparkled half way down each Shout
der.
Paris, April 27.-An extraordin-
airy costume stroIIed down the
Cours De Lareine. 1t was a loose,
full gown of scarlet samourai
crepe with a bateau neck and a
skirt reaching demurely to the in
step. Round and round the waist
was twisted heavy scarlet silk
cord with huge tassel falling to
the hem of the skirt. From elbow
to knuckles the sleeves were band
ed with a wide strip of silver
CIOLn. Inc WlQe nat was OF silver

front and back. A wreath of scar
let roses trimmed the head, beneath
the brim.
New York, April ga blending
of blouses and coat is the blouse
coatee. In georgette, crepe de
chine, or foulard, the coatee blouse
has a loose, open front with a roll
collar turning back from lace or
georgette vest. A wide band OF
blouse material, of ribbon, or even
of fancy knitting, holds the blouse
at low waist line, fastening with
a button or two. This fastening
does away with the need of draw
ing the blouse coatee on over the
head.

things we never do. He has got
his oldest son where h hates to
see him come home. He refuses 10

such actions from a man with such
small principles. He won't turn his
hand to carry pail of coal or

one home with him for meals.

II you leave your husband you will
not be able to support yourself and
the children, and if you stay with
him you will wear yourself out and
be miserably unhappy. The law
can handle your husband better
than anyone else.
BY all means tell his uncle and
brother that they will have to find
another place to live. You could
probably rent the room they occupy
and furnish board to some one who
would pay you. Even if you are
successful in getting a small in
