\fr2o(Y)en r a AlnTeßg-sT& WHY MY HUSBAND LEFT ME By DOItOTHY MX. J "X lost my husband," said the ninth ] woman, "through trying to cut him i over according to my own little per forated pattern of what a man should be and think and wear. "The chief feminine vice is the mania we women have for reforming things. We never can be satisfied to attend to our own business and let other people manage their affairs as they like, and there isn't a mother's daughter of us who doesn't beleive in ■ her secret soul that if the Almighty had consulted her at the creation of the world a lot of blunders could havo ; been avoided. "Above all, every woman holds to I the faith that if her husband would only become as clay In her hands she could fashion him into a thing of beauty and wonder that would aston- i ish the world. No matter how much a' woman admires a man, or looks up to him, or loves him, she wants to change him. It's the same spirit that makes her shift around the furniture 1 in her house to suit her own taste after she's paid a professional decora tor a thousand dollars to arrange it for her. People often marvel that an other- 1 wise sensible woman will marry a drunkard or a rake, and they wonder why she does It. The answer is plain. The drunkard or the rake offers such gorgeous and limitless reformation, opportunities to her that she can't re- > sist the temptation. "I married an admirable young man j who was moral, sober, industrious; a man any woman might have been glad to take as ho was and thank Qod on her knees for what she was get- J ting. Nevertheless, the curse of my sex for altering things was upon me, and I distinctly recall that even in ' the days of our betrothal I used to enjoy myself by thinking that as soon of I was married to Sidney 1 would change the way ho had his hair cutt HOMICIDE CASES ARE NUMEROUS State Board of Pardons Will Have Much to Do at the Meeting on Wednesday Twenty-one of the fifty-four cases listed for consideration by the State Board of Pardons at Its meeting on Wednesday involve homicide in one degree or another, the list 1 eing one of the largest, of the kind ever known as far as such cases are concerned.

Massa's case has been pending for some time. The commu ted cases are William Webber, Berks, held over: A. S. VonNelda, Philadel phia, who asks a rehearing and R. Perrie and Robert E.

In the latter is John Lear, Allegheny, against whom there were eleven indictments. In addition to the forty-three ap plications for pardon there are five applications for rehearings and six cases held over.

Md., Dec. 15.—T0-day is being gnerftily observed in Hagers town as "self-denial day" by the citi zens at the request of Mayor J. Mc pherson Scott for the purpose of aid ing the fund being raised for the worthy poor of the city. All citizens have been asked by the mayor in his p-oclamation to abstain from the luxu ries they usually enjoy for the day and to contribute the amount they would spend to the poor fund.

I even tried to pol ish up his manners according to my | standards of elegance. , "In a word I became nothing but a 1 critic on the hearth. I was a perpet ual reminder to my husband of his faults. I was the thorn in the side of his vanity, and I was blind and stupid the only human being in the | world that continually reminded him i of what a poor weak creature he was, land to think that T made home at tractive by making it ttio only place where he heard the bitter, stabbing truth about himself. I "I did not have sense enough to . know that by the time a man is grown up his tastes and habits are formed and that a woman lntereferes ' with these at her peril. I was not ; worldly wise enough to know that ' being reformed is about as pleasant jas being skinned alive, and that no man marries to acquire a critic, and ,ao I prepared my own doom. "Every man must have some woman who admires >im, who flatters him, some woman before whom he can pose as an oracle, some woman in whose ! eyes ho is a little tin god—or who ; makes him think that he is. If he doesn't find this woman at home, he hunts her up elsewhere. ! "My husband was no exception to the rule. I kept his vanity sore and bleeding, and he found another wom an who spread the salves on the wounds I dealt him. I tried to make him over, the other woman made him feel that he was perfection as he was. II criticized and she jollied, and I lost and she won. _ ( "The story always ends that way. The woman who attempts to make over her husband always falls, but women keep on trying to do it. That's why there are so many of us di vorcees." i| Miss Fairfax Answers Queries ■ . j ASK HIM TO CALL. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am twenty-five, and employed as < a stenographer in a mercantile house. 11 he man under whom I am directly i employed Is a widower, possibly thirty- I f? r thirty-nine. He has always (treated me with the utmost cour l esy, , kindness and dignity.

If opportunity offered, should I apologize for a slighting remark I made about him? At present I know no is not accepting social engage ments. Would it be proper for me to invite him to call on me? L. S. M. Apologize for your frivolity by all means. Then suggest in a quiet, dig nified way that since the man has been so kind to you in the office, you thought you would like to suggest lus coming to see you in your own home. He may not care to do so but it is perfectly proper undeiwthe cir -1 cumstances to ask him. However your friendship develops, you can feel that he has treated you with the chivalry a real gentleman has for all women. ASK AN EXPLANATION. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: About six months ago I met a young man, who, after going with me for , two months, asked me to become his wife. I asked him to ask my parents which he did, and they having given their consent, we were preparing to be engaged. Suddengly my intended informed me that he was in serious trouble and that our engagement would have to be postponed. He told me If I had other chances I should not discard them, as he did not know how things would turn out. I am heartbroken, as my parents i have asked me to give him up. On his birthday, one day last week. I sent him a card. Did I do wrong 9 He telephones occasionally. HEARTBROKEN. You must either dismiss all thoughts of this young man from your mind of persuade your father to Interview him as to the cause of his peculiar actions. Perhaps with the help of an older man he might be able to extri cate himself from his trouble, what ever It is. In any case you ought to be informed as to the cause of your broken engagement.

HARRISBURG *££& TELEGRAPH WITH THE NEW VEST EFFEC\ A Smart Blouse Especially adapted It Winter Needs. By MAY~M ANTON 846 2 Blouse with Vest Effect, 34 to 42 bust. Here is a blouse which shows distinctly new features, it is quite simple and severe enough to be made of linen or piqu6 and it also is well adapted to the various tub silks and to combinations of materials. Since the washable silks launder quite as well as cotton and linen, it is easy to combine them and the effect is extremely handsome. In the illustra- i tion, striped tub silk is made with vest, i collar and cuffs of white piqu6 but, in the back view, white linen Is combined with colored. The long plain sleeves are exceedingly fashionable but, in spite of that fact, many women prefer the shorter length and these can be cut off as shown in the back view. There is iust fullness ' enough in the blouse itself to be becoming ! *liile the plain stitched vest gives a tailored finish. For the medium size, the blouse will require 2?Z yds. of material 27, 2% vds. 36. iVi yds. 44 in. wide, with yd. 27 in. wide for the vest, collar and cuffs.
