The silk Lind is very lovely, but rather perish able, while the woolen kind is beautiful and does give wear, though one could hardly put it in the class with the everyday materials. These duvctyn dresses aie made in the strnight-line dpsigns and nKo in the draped models, such as the skht witli the pegged top, either at one side or on both. The jerseys and the trieotines are nearly alwnjs kept to the straight effects. The duvetyns are either untrimnied or decorated with embroidery done in silk or chenille. Sometimes embroidery is used on the trieotines and the jerseys, but nearly always it is either satin or braid that is used for ornamentation, if nnv trimming is used at all. One of thp best-looking straight dresses that I have seen this season is illustrated todaj. This straight-line, one-piece dress is of navy blue trico- I tine. The neckline is cut square ut the fiont and finished at the back and the i sides with a collar of whitp organdie, i TIip lowpr part of thp skirt is trimmed with large dots, sprinkled here nnd I there, and made of black silk braid, a' ery handsome rope giidle is made of1 ilk cord nnd is finished at the ends' w ith black silk tassels.

Avoid Divorce Broken -nenrted Wife Divorce Is a very serious matter and never to be sought unless every other remedy fnils. Tor your children's sake it would seem better not to apply for one.

It mny be a passing temptation with him. I would treat it as such and not let him see thnt it worries you. Ite brave nnd trust God nnd things will come right, I nm sure. And be absolutely firm about not al lowing another to come into your home. Tor advice go to the domestic relations courts, nnd some one there will tell you what he would be obliged to contribute toward your support nnd the support of the children.

"When a certain young lady whose name will be kept secret for obvious reasons," he writes, "attended n re cent vaudeville theatre and sat in n stage box, she was not aware that the comedinn in nn act which was showing kept his eyes In the direction of the fair beauty who was watching the act ing. Not only did this comedian keep a persistent watch upon the girl, but after his part was over he followed her to her home without speaking to her. After the girl reached the steps Hie llttlo boy of nIx jenrs, who lived right next door, called out to her, "lo 'Irene.' "Now, in front of this house where thc girl lived there is a sign which tells of thc work performed by thc mother, nnmely, 'Francinc Shop.' After thc girl was inside nnd within five minutes the telephone rang and a voii c asked for Miss Irene Frnncine. "l seldom happens that the mother answers the telephone, but this time she did, hnd when the voice asked for Miss Irene Francine the fond parent did not quite understand, although it was not long before the fact dawned upon her tljnt some one wanted to speak with her daughter. When the girl was given thc receiver she inquired who wns spenk ing but wns informed that it wns some one who had admired her and had fol lowed her home. "Now this girl had not seen the man following' her nor did she know thc man was watching her from the stnge.

The world has literally gone mad in the effort to gather sufficient quality pelts to supply the demand. In consequence of the shortage imitations and sub stitutes are to be had at prices that seem to be economical. Such economy is indeed short-sighted. Today more than ever the lowest prices are sometimes the dearest.

A MOST peculiar Incident, wasn't " It? A less sensible girl might have been flattered by this attention from tho other side of thc footlights, but this one topped the situation neatly by setting on thc "masher" thc only one who. ought to be set on him another man.
