for dues or other charges.
While the matter of being in arrears
is a personal one with many women,
they should be equally interested in
their husbands standings at their
clubs
A man whose name is posted for be-
ing in arrears is thereby lowered in
the estimation of his friends. Or
course, this opinion is carried out into
the business world, and sometimes with
disastrous results. One can scarcely
blame business men for feeling reluc-
tant to extend credit to man who has
abused his privileges at a club.
We respect a husband more who ad-
mits membership at a club Is too ex-
pensive and resigns, or who anticipates
shortage of cash by curtailing his &C
tivitiss, and assuming no obligations
that he cannot meet on time. 1t Is no
disgrace, perhaps, to have ones name
posted for being In arrears at club,
but it is a serious reflection on ones
Judgment and sense of responsibility.

Wraps in Interesting Forms
BY MARY MARSHALL.

This Summer the evening wrap has
come into its own. incidentally it has
appeared in a variety of interesting
forms and has done things that no
one supposed an evening wrap would
think Of doing. 1t has ended its slen-
der career midway between waist and
knees and sometimes it has stopped
short at the hips or has extended only
to the girdle or hip yoke.
An interesting development in eve
ning-wrap fashions this Summer has
been the temperance Of the shawl
used as a wrap over light Summer
frocks. 1t may have had something

not William Penn, the father of the
State now boasting two league base ball

Consulting historical records, we
found that John Penn was one of the
signers. William had son named John,
and 1t was probably the son whose
name is among the heroic band who
declared that all men are created with
equal rights.
But" some historian will say, John
Penn hailed from North Carolina"
And there you are. Perhaps it wasn't
the son, after all. Thus does history
become intricate.
How many signed the famous docu-

Liquid Diet.

There are several reasons why you

then if you want to reduce your weight,
or keep your weight somewhere with
in bounds. The greatest reason of all
will interest you least-it will be a
test of your will power! For to wom-
an who has been eating all she wants
of everything she wants and a lot more
of 1t than she needs, three days of a
liquid diet will prove test of will
power. It's little use telling you how
fine you'll feel after the three days,
when you realize how great is your
mental and moral strength. Few women
are interested in that.
So I'll give the more frivolous rea-
sons. Three days of a liquid diet will
reduce large waistline by many inches.
For one thing, it gives the system a
chance to catch up with the food it
