But 1t is possible that even in this

age, there are women like that
women whose own loyalty TO their
husbands is so taken or-granted a
thing that they never think Of
questioning the return loyalty which
they take equally foE granted.

harm a hair of your head, because

body Of the woman whom her hus-
band said he loved, lay dead before

right to this treasure or not.
Love making is a stupid affair
these days" writes some one or
other. Men are so busy and WON
en- so Independent that little time
for romancing is left. When a man
proposes today ii Is more or less of a
business proposition. He might lust
as we'll be asking the girl to play
golf with him or take his business
dictation."
There really is something in that
especially the independent wom-

be romantic today with a girl who
will probably giggle when his voice

composed of one gray and one white
pearl, one white and one black pearl
or one emerald or ruby and one
pearl, are the only kind fit to wear.
Likewise, just one bracelet isn't fit
to be seen. There must be at least
three. Fashion says that quite the
incest combination is a triple set
with emeralds, rubies and diamonds.
oh, hum, think it'll rain tomorrow?
Be careful of that flower that
blooms on the shoulder, ira la, say
costume authorities. If It matches
or brings out some lurking color in
the costume, very nice. But If 1t is a
distinctly new color introduced, be-
ware. It may look like something
