CTILL more important, the widower
has learned about women and how
to handle them from the late lamented
He has found out how to rub the
feminine fur the right way so that
his wife will purr under his hand
instead OF putting her back up. He
has found out that you can lead a
woman anywhere. but you can't drive
her an inch. And how to read the
signs that indicate that friend wife has
got up with the wrong foot foremost
and it is the part OF discretion to walk
softly and keep silent and make a
sneak. All Of which makes the widower
an easy and peaceful yes-yes husband
! to live with.
Lastly but not least, women know
that the second wife reaps what the
first wife sowed. Most young couples
are poor when they get married. and
as soon as the bride has folded away
her wedding veil she rolls up her
sleeves and gets busy helping her
husband to get start in the world.
She washes and irons, cooks. patches
and pinches the pennies that are the
| foundation stones OF most fortunes,
and many q second wife rides in
limousine and has a matched pearl
necklace because her predecessor
walked to save car fare and wore q
string Of beads from the l0-cent store.
| But, alas, there is always Z hy In
the amber and, desirable as the
widower is as husband, he has one
fatal defect that offsets all Of his good
qualities and that makes 4 prudent
woman leery Of marrying him. That is
his mania Of talking about his first
wife to his second wife and throwing
all OF No. Is virtues in No. rs teeth.
WHY an otherwise intelligent man
should do this, only the malig-
nant devil that wrecks marriages
knows. Every man with sense enough
to be permitted out without a keeper
must know that there Is no living
siren of whom second wife is so
jealous as she is of the ghost of the
first wife. He must know that 1t Is
bitter bread the second wife eats
when she thinks that his first wife
feasted on the cakes and ale Of his
youth and romance, and that all there
Is left for her to feed her starved
heart upon is warmed-over sentiment
and rehashed affection.
! You would think he would let the
situation 60 at that and skirt around
it rs tactfully as possible, but does
he? Rarely. He may have fought
from the altar to the grave with his
first wife and told her that she was .
fool, but the minute she Is dead she
becomes saint and an oracle and
when he marries again he holds her
up as q model to his second wife.
Thousands upon thousands Of second
wives have to listen daily to how
Maria never bought but one hat 4
season, how Maria never belonged to
bridge clubs, how Maria made bread
and so on and 50 on, without their
husbands ever apparently realizing
that they are stabbing their wives to
the heart with every word Of their
panegyrics over their first wives and
running all the sweetness of their
marriages.
The way husbands treat their second
wives about their first wives Is the
worlds greatest example Of tactless-
ness. DOROTHY DIX.

THE girl who always lines up the
meal orders for = whole party
isn't always too popular with her men
friends. They'd enjoy her more, they
claim, as grand marshal Of = parade,
than as dinner companion. She sits
down firmly ut the restaurant table,
picks up the menu, and then goes
right around the table saying, What
are you going to have?" When the
waiter comes around, she takes the
whole thing into her own hands, Or
ganizes the orders, and reels them
of by twos and threes. The men
in her party just fold up.
To be sure, she probably thinks
she's helping out. She probably knows
that the men will mix everything up.
But some things q girls knows, she
really ought to keep to herself. And
that's one of them.
II she really can't bear to sit and
listen to her boy friend order two soft
shell crabs and two filet misnons when
it WAS really one and three, she can
shift the responsibility to the waiter
When he steps up to the table, all
she needs to do is to give him her own
order. He'll follow her lead and take
the other orders one by one. OF
course, she has to take q chance on
the walters efficiency. But that would
be better, We should think, than be-
coming grand marshal Of . parade.

In all black it is ideal for the matron
and in an oatmeal woolen suit with
brown muskrat sports coat it is def
nitely collegiate.
And don't forget the dear little Per-
sian lambs, for they are as important
as ever in the fur fashion picture. In
full-length princess style with small
collar that may be worn up to frame
the face, they are very smart. You will
be seeing both black and gray Persians
worn with close, high turbans, and the
effect will be quite like that of a Rus
sian Cossack.
Hudson seal (dyed muskrat) Is also
used in princess coats. Leopard cat
with natural beaver collar and pockets
makes a youthful sports coat. Silver
muskrat again looks well with a brick
red hat and dress. A Russian caracul
coat has large loose slevees that may
be pushed above the elbow and worn
with long white gloves for dressy oc-
casionS.
Jap mink, with its small, beautifully
matched skins, is handsome for day
or evening wear. Siberian squirrel is
good in sports swaggers. 1t combines
well with number Of dark or bright
colors. The stunning oor-length
squirrel wrap shown above was ex-
hlbited at recent fur showing in New
York. The hood. which is an Arabian
inspiration. is lined with crimson and
ehpaH with Sj1vnv Se
suspended, pendant-fashion, in back.
7 OVELIEST Of the furs shown were
two white ermine coats in jigger
length for evening. The shoulders
were slightly squared and the collars
small. In one instance the skins
were scanned horizontally and in the
other the sides of ermine were used
This gave pleasant crepy effect and
made a coat considerably less ex-
pensive than whole matched skins
1t Is the same idea that is being used
In mink coats to such good advantage
The color lineup in fur for the
Autumn, as it stands at present, seems
to be black, gray and brown. In the
luxury class for evening wear is an
ermine coat of two-third length, with
q collarless neckline and tremendous
sleeves OF blue fox swirling up to the
shoulders. This is something to
think about for the height OF the next
social season, that is long ways of
when we are still in early July.
