10 EVENING LEDGEK-PIIILADKLPfllA. FRIDAY, AUGUS 1015; THE ADAPTABLE WOMAN IS A VERITABLE FEMININE JEWEL T'he Young Bride Needs Philosophy to Survive the Shock When Business Assumes Its Legitimate Place in "Hubby's" Interests. Bv ELLEN ADAIH IHAVfl seen tmny type of women, Initio, and nllhounh others might laugh Anrt ir an fit ihm w.r mil tntthnr "' "llnh her ridiculous, tho nhe was and if an or them were put togeinf . )h Just . m Bne un ,hft Bght V j rGti Mr before ma and' their good points crystal Used Intb ono per fect being, I should call her the adapt table woman. The epitome of all femi nine charms l the facility to fit Olio's self to tho peculiar circumstance which surround us, whether they bo pleasing or not. This Is by no means as easy ns It sounds Take, for Instance, the case of tearful llttlo newljwed who came to see an elderly friend of mlno u short While ago "Jim doesn't love mo any more," sho sobbed "I don't know what I'll do" My friend had known Jim nit her life, and sho knew that a moro devoted hus band never breathed, but she didn't laugh At tho llttlo bride. Bho asked what tho trouble was "Woll," confessed tho tear ful ono, "ho nlwavs used to talk to mo and tako mo nut to theatres and places until last night. Ho Cnmo homo list night nnd never said n word, nnd ho didn't have i tho headache, o 1 1 h o r. Ho read nil ocnlng, and f had to sit nnd watch him.

T R. : t L U. S. AMBULANCE WORKERS IN PARIS ) hi an deenlv asIf It really existed. I am sorcy for tho woman whose life Is spent rolling against circumstance. It reminds me of the men who go fishing without bnlt, or those whose nets have huge boles In the bottom. For tho struggle against our surroundings Is as fruitless ns the labors of the poor fellow In the Aeneld Who was nlwn)a trying to empty the sea with a sieve. j Changes of any kind are more or less trying, because of tho humerous compll cation which they bear In their train. The first lo-pntn nlow of the honeymoon cannot possibly last, even though nil lovers will deny my statement vigorously. Each one Imagines himself tho exception, his romnnco Is going to last n life time But when tho first J ear has rollotl by nnd Jim begins to feel thnt bo should put moro time In his work nnd his llttlo wlfo stnys at homo and Imagines her self n o g I o o t o d, tho trouble nnd heartbreak begins This Is tho time when the wl-a girl teaches herself tho hard lesson of adnptablllt) It means pntlcncc nnd trust and firm conviction, nnd above nil, pcrslstuicc Tho latter, by the wny, Is a quality rarely found In women that Is, vvhon devoted to tho worthy end of improving themselves. If the object hap pened to bo n now lint, the story Is qulto different. I know one man who lost a double salaried poittlon because his wife re fused to adapt herself to the temporarj Inconveniences of moving to nnothir clt Tills Is not exaggeration, If you will only looK around jou, the number of women 4 that poor Jim couldn't bo expected to who nro doing tho snmo Is astonishing. contlnuo his entertaining quality through And all bcc-iuso they hnven't tho courngi life. It was a real tragedy to the little to learn the lesson of adaptability! THE "NEW FIGURE" MAKES ITS BOW ON FALL EVENING GOWNS TT OFTI3N hnppons X that tho late summer evening gowns aro really sultnblo for early fall dances. I know of ono girl who purposely allows the question of her evening frocks to remain unnnsworcd until tho last moment until she decides vvhero sho Is going to pass tho summer. Then, If sho finds her hotel Is par ticularly fashionable, or there Is a great deal of gaiety around the place, she sonds homo or runs up to town for a day or oo, and selects tho lata August fashions shown in tho shops. It Is a very vvIbo plan, for, as I have already said many of our best de signers aro Bhowlng their most striking nu tumn Btjles early In tho summer. Ono of tho plainest and most picturesque models I have scon is shown In todaj'o Illus tration. It Is Just de signed for Into summer wear, for hotol dances nnd muslcalcs. Tho Infltlenco of tho Vic torian period Is plainly shown In tho basquo waist and s o v e r e I y draped lines of tho bodice. Tho top of tho waist Is made of silk net, of a glorious palo Ivory shade, which contrasts most becomingly with tho shell-pink taffetas of which tho dress Is made. This net Is draped over a founda tion of silver-thread embroidery, with short transparent s 1 o o v o s, edged with pink ribbon. Tho pointed bodice outlines the rather new figure a slight ten dency toward the wasp waist being suggested. The skirt la charmingly draped, with a sash of silk net encircling tho waist line. This net Is also used,nt the bottom of tho hem In a de" cldediy unique manner, with a deml-petticoat of Oliver embroidery. in ?

It was decided to ro movo tho remains of Houget do Lisle, composer of tho Marseillaise, who died about lk36. from their resting places out side Paris, and they were, therefore, car ried In state to tho Pantheon for burial! Gendarmes lined tho streets, crowds sang tho Marseillaise and excitement ran high. A great motorcar dashed past suddenly, and I recognized M. Polncare on his way to meet tho funeral procession. Then while wo vvoro still waiting, moro excite ment was caused by two lmmenso mili tary aeroplanes which circled directly above our heads, making a noisoMIko thunder The crowds craned their necks nnd cheered vociferously. This so encour aged tho flying men thnt they did some wonderful feats for tho delectation of tho mob, banking sharply and turning m tho most marvelous manner. A Bmall boy beside mo shouted as I hovo nover heard a child shout before. "Rogardcz, re- gardcz ccs braves garcons!" ho screamed nt tho top of his voice. The wholo per formance was most spectacular and the cheers of tho crowd were as loud as tho thunder of tho aeroplanes. BODY ON GUN CAnRIAQE.
