Mli .Mlnnlu Bronsoii, THE STRIVINGS OF ELLEN ADAIR IN PHILADELPHIA Being the First of a Series Detailing the Experiences of a Real Flesh and Blood English Girl. From time Immemorial, the economical ivlfo has been held up as the true Ideal -f womanly Hoodness and virtue, and. In company with tho Rood lady of Vroverus. who rose bo early and worked so unneecs aarlty hard, hns been eternally and with n. most tlreaomo persistence cited as tho "real model. But the reverse side of the plctute Is aeldotn shown, and recently a sad case of It was noticed. A little filrt, who would have been a sweet little Klrl, but for one fault. She was "desperately" eco nomical. Eery little inB about the house ho hoarded for dolls' clothes, every Sat urday nickel she save, and even candy was laid by for a futuro occasion. Oh: I'mu t$ $ P p ft very V tho years Then she met a man, who fell In loe with her, ant they were married. And at flrBt thny were happy. For lin wns poor and struugllnK, mid he was a kuoiI, economical wife. But as the years slipped by, his Income stew and Krew and he wanted his wife to pause only an occa sional pause and share his well-earned pleasures. But alas! and alack! Did he dee'de to take her to the theatre, and tnke tickets, tor tho best scats, she sat unhappily In their "box" or orchtstra seats anil urfted the necessity for cheaper seals upon him. "Tom" she would say, "we could have on this piece, or heard thli mule. Just as well from the nmphlthcatre. whoro we used to so. Next time, we must go back there." If he took her to pay little tete-a-t"to dinners In town, he chose the best res taurants, and indeed he could well afford to do so. But all through tho meal, that stupid little wif,j wa-t sadly counting the ""pst, and when tlnall the waiter ap proached with the check, she would pounce upon tt before her husband, and adly sIrIi over its amount. And then the inevitable happened! Since his wife could not happily share hli well earned pleasures, since she utterly tailed to adapt herself to altered circumstances, he sought consolation elsewhere, and soon found it. In tho society of women who were only too wllllnB to help him spend his plentiful Income. And tho sad part was, that he really preferred his own wife to these but she had failed him In vBreat essential, complete comrade- .The result of her too economical .as the brcaKIng up of tin home. i.agedy of divorce Adaptability ti irtered circumstances would have surely averted this. Ketieral secretary of the National Aso clation Opposed to Woman SuffraRe. left Washington last evening to assume per sonal charge of the antl-vufftage cam paigns In Nebiaska, North Dakota.

Darker shades characterize the fall and winter styles this season and they are being used on the really smart hats. Blown Is the favorite color. Flowers, particularly rose', will be used to lighten and brighten the sombre velvets and beavers which will foim the foundations of the hats models of which were shown at Bonwit-Tcller'x opening this morning. Tliene are exceptionally small or un usually large, as compared wfth the spring styles. A smart model for evening wear Is made with a silver metal crown and lather narrow brim. The crown Is tdRfd with skunk fur and a large pink rose with a rich ospray ornament Is fastened at the lde. the arrangement giving a chic effect. A specially stunning chapeau is fash ioned with a brown beaver crown and wide satin brim of tho same shade. This hat 13 trimmed on either side with large iridescent wings. A rather large toque of black velvet Is trimmed with very high ostrich ffather "fancies" arranged at either side and meeting In a graceful spiay. JUST BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES i &J tii f MORNING PRAYER IN THE morning, when I wake, Out of bed I rise, And to God this prayer I make, Kneeling with closed eyes: Father, dwelling everywhere, Help me in this morning prayer For the long da to prepare. Thou hast kept me by Thy might As I slept all through the night, Keep me ever in Thy sight. Give me all that I may need; Let rjny eyes no evil heed; Plaice me kind in word and deed.

"I'll scare my mother, anyway," he decided and he meandered around to where she was resting under the avcs of the big barn. "I'm tired of muidiui" and doing things properl) all the time, mother." 4aid Jimmy, "I'm goinsj to do xmie thing bad bad!"

It xi ems jmw, Instead of a bare two month, Mi'.ce that sunny summer morn ing whcii 1 sailed away from .Southamp ton dock with a big lump In my throat, my wcnlly all In my shabby trunk, HO tucked away In a corner of my shabby mourning frock, and a desperate deter mination to make good in the new and wonderful country to which I was going. What crowded experiences have Inter vened since then! and I, Ellen Adair, an I'ngllsh girl, young and strong, and ah' dear Heaven, still hopeful, am facing this new world alone. And the sheer lonesomeness of this rainy night Is drllng me to write the story of my lift I feel and think like 40, but I am unlv :' and In the old cracked mirror opposite I see a young face, with new, tired lines around the mouth. But there Is addeil strength and resolution there. I must begin my tale in earnest now, and away with sentiment. In my life there can be but little room for that. I am a worker, and must cease to dream. My childhood was a happy one, and, be ing happy, was uneventful. I was an only child, and In spite of much petting re mained comparatively unspoiled. How well do I remember those old happy days In the English seaside town. My father, a country doctor, wan so busy that I rarely saw him, but my mother was my constant companion, and I Idollred her. fhe was the kindly sharer of my Joys and of my so: rows, a real friend and com panion. The first break In my life waB at the ago of 15. I was sent off to boarding school in London, a quiet, unpretentious, middle-class school, where for two years I was a pupil. But In that sheltered haven c saw but little of London life. Occasional visits to the opera were a wonder and a glory the myriad cllttcrlng lights of Shaftsbury avenue and Picca dilly, the crowds of beautifully gowned women and their conventionally garbed malu escort, the swarmtng taxis it was nil so wonderful. The green beauty of Kensington Oardens or Regent Park was a favorite haunt for our afternoon walk, and I shall never forget my first gt.mpse of the King and Queen, then Prii.te and Princess of Wales, outside Buckingham Palace.

"So no no," shouted Jimmy "x.iHhltreeze. "I'e turned over a new Uaf I'm hunting something ery bad to do no time to play today!" and he blew away as fast as ever he could. But they didn't believe him not the ; they knew Jimmy! They said to each other, "Let's just wait and see what he doc3." And if you wait, too, you will hear all about it tomorrow.

SMART STREET COSTUME IN SILK AND VELVET but few, and most of these were married. In our seven years there I bad but one proposal of marriage. He was the village apothecary, he eong In the village choir, he squinted dreadfully, and I hated him! But I had Just one vestige of a love affair tli year before mother died, when I was 23. At a neighboring cottage that summer an artist arrived. Not a professional artist, but an amateur one. He stayed six weeks, and he made a painting of our little cottage, with the roses and honey suckle clambering over Its whitewashed walls and peering Inquisitively In at the latticed windows. He thought It all beau tiful. Many a day he took afternoon tea with mother and me In our email garden overlooking the rolling downs. I thought him very good looking. Ho waa curiously attractive, tall and dark, with a certain odd Intonation In his deep voice. "Ellen Adair, you strange child," said he to mo one day, "soma day you will wake up and your soul will grow, Tou will not always stay here: one day you must learn the realities of life, Llv up to the highest always. Tou have great possibilities." I remember a strange thrill went through me at his words, and Just then a lark rose from a clump of bog myrtle nearby on the moor and soared, carolling her hart out, to the very heavens. It seemed emblematic of his words, "Live up to the highest always!" And the artist man leaned back In his chair and slowly quoted the great words of Jlrownlng: " 'The lark's on tsh wing Qod's in his heaven, all's right with the world," "Itemember that always, little girl," said he 'When things go right, and when things go wrong God'B In Hta heaven, a is tight with the world!" ACROSS THE COUNTER The autumn and winter suits displayed by the shops show a number of features that stamp them definitely as the product of the season. The plain coat and skirt that looked well from year to year Is a thing set apart for sports' wear. In thlB fashion era, and ab solute simplicity of cut and design Is mo nopolized once mora by the masculine sex. When tho tide turns, howovcr, woman will, no doubt, appropriate whatever pleases her fancy In the tailored line. But now, tho coat Is cut not of many colors, but with so many variations that It is hard to know Just when a coat Is a coat and not tho upper part merely of tho costume. The sash Is often the Una of demarca tion and tho coat ends in a wide flaring skirt, that at a distance resembles the tunic. In reality, it Is the redingote adapted to present modes. Among the blue suits and blue seems to hold its own In popularity there are many to be found In good cut and ma terial for ISO and 523. These are offered by the well-known department stores.

That this can be achieved without loss of tho practical Is well Illustrated In tho Btrcet costumo shown today.

Yot Us severity Is modified In almost every Instnnco to conform to modern standards. This gen eration refuses to ho backrammed and boned into Immovability nnd a higher value is set on supple muscles than on a bcdlio without wrinkles. Here, tho basqua Is buttoned down tho front quite plainly, but the fulness that starts at tho side scam is ono of tho Innovations of tho present day modiste, Tho stiff high collar shows the trend away from tho low-necked Woubo. There Is a decided movement this season toward restoring the collar to Its place and to doing away with the open-necked blouse. Here, happily, wc have a compromise. It Is buttoned quite high, yot enough of the throat is free for eahc and comfort. The long sleeve, that comes not only over tho wrist but almost to the knuckles. In In evidence. It Is a dictate of the fashion authorities from which thcro Is no reprieve for tho present. Tho sash, that appears nt tho back or tho side or front in nine out of ten coBtumea, Is a narrow ribbon affair In the Illustration. It Is tied loosely and falls into placo naturally over tho skirt proper and be low the basque. There a Is particularly graceful adapta tion of tho tunic.
