Little Fur
Fashion

By Eleni

When we suggest wearing sum-
mer furs we don't mean you
should take them out with you
to the beach and leave them In
the Scorching sunlight.
But more and more little furs"
are finding their way into the
wardrobe plans Of women because
they have proved to be so versa
tile, lightweight, and with expert
styling and magnificent designing
techniques-so fashionable.
Abbreviated stoles, spencer
jackets, boleros of various shapes,
are the answer to the GOODNESS Of
summer evenings spent in the
country, at the seashore, or even
In the city when riding in an open
car.
The silhouette of the little fur
topping" changed when full skirts
swept the country. Such small
wraps if worn with full skirts
should hit above the waistline and
the skins should be worked so that
they supply the necessary fashion
interest.
For evening many women like
white furs. White fox is being
sponsored by New York, Washing
ton and Paris furriers. The long
haired favorite is most effective in
the small shrug cape and the boa.
White mink is another favorite for
the tiny wrap for summer wear.
Furs that are used (store your
heavy winter coats and wraps
with a reputable furrier) stand
little chance of having the moths
get into them. Soft that's what's
holding you back from adding al
little fur wrap to your summer
wardrobe plans-you can go right
ahead and feel secure in knowing
that your lightweight summer fur
wrap is pretty safe.

SCHOONER JOHN S. WOOD
AT WASHWOOD STATION

About 8 o'clock in the morning
of April 7, 1888, three-masted
schooner was discovered ashore
two miles south of the Wash
Woods Station, (Sixth Dlstrict)
coast of North Carolina. The wind
was blowing hurricane, as stated
in the record of the days opera
tiOns at the other stations in this
district. The vessel proved to be
the Schooner John S. Wood of
Camden, N. j., bound out of Pensa-
cola with a cargo of lumber which,
with the vessel, represented total
loss Of $4,000.
The surfman first seeing the
vessel at once gave the alarm, and
the life saving crew started out as
quickly as possible, taking with
them the beach apparatus. The tide
was over the beach far beyond the
ordinary high-water mark and the
rain fell in torrents, making all the
work especially difficult. 1t was 9
o'clock when the surfmen reached
q point abreast of the wreck and
began the attempt to establish
communication. They were assist
ed in this work by James S. Evans,
a citizen who was fortunately pres

CHILD LABOR LAW
AFFECTS FARMER

The Federal Child Labor Laws
prohibit employment of children
under 16 years of age in agricul-
ture during the hours school is in
session, if the products grown on
the farm are to be shipped in in
terstate commerce.
This is pointed out by DR.. C. B.
Ratchford, in charge of farm
management and marketing, State
College Extension Service, who
urges all farmers to become IA
miliar with provisions of these
laws.
A farmer, says DIR. Ratchford,
may use his own children, but he
is violating the law if he hires
children of his neighbors or others,
including the children of migra-
tory workers, during the hours
school is. in session in the district
where the children are living.
The specialist adds that child
under 16 years of age may work

loss of about one-half. On the 18th
the vessel having been condemned
was sold at public auction. Six of
the men were at the station four
days after the accident, but the
captained remained until the
schooner was disposed of, leaving
for home on the 14th. The agent of
the underwriters while superin-
tending the saving of the cargo
was also entertained for sometime
at the station. The following ac-
count briefly details the circum-
stances attending the wreck, and
expresses the gratitude of the res
cued:
while blowing hurricane, with
mountainous seas, vessel leaking
badly, we lost control of her and
could do nothing but let her go on
port tack at midnight (6th). All
hands at pump since 4 o'clock in
the afternoon Wind north-north-
east. At $3.50 a. m. (7th) we tried
to wear ship, but failed, and the
mainsail blew away. At Z a. M, in
fourteen fathoms of water, tried
again to wear around, but on slack
ing off spanker it blew to ribbons,
and the vessel would not wear.
Sounded, and got ten fathoms. The
sea had begun to break, and it be-
came evidently impossible to keep
the vessel off the beach. We struck
the outer bar at 8 o'clock and re-
NAMED half an hour, when we saw
the life-saving crew coming to the
rescue. They made a successful
shot, and with hard and dangerous
work-as they were compelled to
work in water sometimes to their
waists-succeeded in landing all
hands. exhausted, half-drowned
and chilled.
eve wish to express our sincere
thanks to Captain Corbel and his
brave crew, also to Mr.. Evans, for
the prompt and courteous treat
ment we received at the station.
But for their perservering and
timely assistance we would all
have persisted.

The vessel was about two hun
bred yards from the shore, but the
first fire from the Lyle gun lodged
the shot-line in her main rigging
The strong current forcibly sag
ging the lines rendered the task OF
hauling off and setting up the gear
and also of landing the crew ex-
tremely difficult, and it was half

was the John S. Wood, of Camden

By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Most people accept the principle
that marriage should be a $3.50
proposition. but few go to the
trouble of analyzing it very thor
oughly. Surely. they say, a man
and wife should share response
bility, privileges and benefits on
an equal basis. This sounds fine.
but there could be a situation that
makes one pause and consider
like the one Miss c. describes:
IT am SIS years OLD and have
never been married. I am now
considering marriage to man
about my own age. whose wife
died several years ago. We are
quite compatible, but I don't like
his idea of a $3.50 marriage.
He owns his own home; I own
mine. He has a good job; so have
I. Each of us will retire in few
years-or at least, be eligible to
retire-with a good pension. His
savings are considerably. larger
than mine. He has no dependents
except a married son who is self
supporting.
The catch comes in this mans
tnsistence that we must share all
the expenses of our proposed Joint
household equally. I thought a
man was expected to support his
wife and, in fact. that the law
could compel him to do so. This
man suggests that I keep what I
now have; he'll keep what he has.
I'll buy my own clothes. pay for
my own vacations. put up half of
the money for our living expenses;
he'll do the same. In other words,
I become his unpaid housekeeper,
with not even the expectation of
an inheritance-unleSS we should
accumulate some community prop
erty. which seems impossible under
this arrangement. Every cent he
now has will eventually go to
his son.
II don't think I'm mercenary,
DR.. Popenoe; but it just never oc-
CURED to me that marriage would
be like that. Would I be fool
to accept on such terms? Is there

MARRIAGE Proposition

something the matter with my
way of looking at ,it-or his?"
This is carrying the $3.50 theory
to the fullest degree. Miss c., but
I think there is much to be said
for your fiance's position in the
argument. With both of you en-
ployed and earning, your marriage
would become more a matter OF
off hour companionship than any,
thing else. There would be little
of the usual partnership in home
making and none in the raising
Of a family. In fact. the business
side of such a marriage looms
large in the picture.
Because you are in love, you
want to join your lives together
for the comfort and happiness you
find in one -another's company
Marriage gives you these desirable
things without extra expense to
you. What else is. either of you
contributing to this alliance? If
the two of you do the housework
together, it's still $3.50. If he
expects you to do it. that is diff
ferent matter. This calls for an
adjustment, such as an allowance,
paid by him. to hire help for you.
It could be worked out.
I'd like to hear from readers of
this column who have an opinion
about such a marriage. Should
Miss c., giving only companion
ship, expect to be supported by her
husband? Would this reduce the
ratio to something like 6O-30 in
her favor? Or do you agree with
the husband that his plan is a
genuine $3.50 arrangement?
