Why My Husband Left Me
By DOROTHY DIX.
"1 lost my husband," said the eighth
woman, "because I was over-sonsitlve.
A "In poems and novels the woman
"who is all quivering sensibilities, and
who shrinks under a touch as does the
mimosa, is an alluring and romantic
ligure. but, believe me, she belongs In
a book. She had no place in the give
and-take of domestic lifej where the
chief requisite for happiness is pos
sessing an epidermis thick enough to
turn off family jabs as the hide of a
rhinoceros turns off spear thrusts.
"Now I am the great original hu
man sensitive plant. As a child I was
a cry-baby. As a sirl I was a shy,
morbid creature, distrustful of my
self, always imagining that I was be
ing passed over, and fancying flights
in every careless word and look.
"I married a man who was—-just a
man. He was a fine fellow in every
way, but it was a purely masculine
way. Ho was wholesome, and practi
cal, and commonscnsical, and the
least subtle and psychic person that I
have ever met.
"Why he picked me out for a wife I
<lo not know. Perhaps women of the
shy and retiring violet type appeal to
men of his kind. Perhaps it was my
very difference to him that attracted
him before marriage as it bored him
afterwards. Many men, I fancy,
marry women in a vain attempt to
solve a feminine conundrum that
piques their curiosity, and whose
answer they never guess, and of which
after a time, they weary trying to
unriddle.
BRISTLED WITH PEELINGS.
"Well, we were married, and in
stead of finding that I was the gentle
little household pet that he had sup
posed I would be, my husband discov
ered that I bristled with "feelings" as
a porcupine does with quills, and I
was just about as soothing and pleas
ant as a companion. He never could
know how I was going, to take any
thing, or when he was going to wound
my precious sensibilities, or when at
some perfectly innocently intended
word or act on his part I would burst
into tears and fly to my room.
"I used to be sorry for myself. I
now pity my poor husband. Living
with me must have been as nerve
wearing a proceeding as trying to
walk on eggs, for my feelings were
spread out all over the place, and to
keep from treading on them required
more than mortal skill and agility.
"My husband was a busy man,
RED PIMPLES ON
LITTLE BOY'S FACE
Dry and Left Face Scaly, Could not
Sleep Till Tired Out. Used Two
Cakes Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. Child Entirely Well,
w.'< 2113 Carter St., Wilmington, Del.—
T "My little boy of seven years wa« broken
out with rash on the left «lde of his face.
It eame in red pimples. Tliey
fwere dry and left, his face
scaly. At times he would dig
his face. Rest, he couldn't
get till just so tired out he
would fall asleep.
''l used different, drug*
and salves and found thoy
didnogood. Nothing did any
good. Finally I sent for a
free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
1 washed his face with warm water and the
Soap and applied the Ointment. 1 bought
t wo cakes of Cuticura Soap and some Cuti
cura, Ointment and he is entirely well.
Nothing but Cuticura Soap and Ointment
did it." (Signed) Mrs. Ullie M. Lyons,
October 27, 1914.

EAT LESS MEAT
If BUCK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to flush
kidneys if bladder
bothers you
Bating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri
nary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad
der bothers you, get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
nnd your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean,
thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
hard worked and full of cores, and
having assured me a million times
that ho loved me, and assumed my
support for life to prove it, he natur
rally suppsed that the question was
settled and that he might go 'about
his other affairs in peace. But my
sensitiveness would not brook this.
"If a day passed that he did not
swear that he worshipped me 1 1 im
agined myself neglected. If he failed
to kiss mc when he was hurried off in
the morning I saw in that an unmis
takable indication that he had wear
ied of me and had fallen in Jove with
some other woman, and by night I
had worked myself up into such a
state ot hysterical jealousy that it
took hours of persuasion and assev
eration of his undying affection to
calm me.
"Such scenes were a frequent occur
rence in our home, and while they
gratified my morbid vanity, for thai
is all that sensitiveness is. they gra
dually killed' my husband's affection
for me. They made love a duty, and i
obllgittii/n, instead of a gift. They
made him know that he was under
contract to deliver a kiss every morn
ing as long as he lived, or else pay
for the lack of it with a scene, and
when a woman forces that issue, she
has lost out.
"My accursed sensitiveness also
killed all coniidence between my hus
band and myself. We could never dis
cuss the most trivial affair without
my getting my feelings hurt. If he
said that we could not afford this or
that, 1 would immediately becomlr
furiously angry because I imagined
that he intended a covert criticism of
the way I managed the household,
and I would say that if he thought I
was too extravagant, it was a pity
he hadn't married some woman who
was a better tlna'ncier.
"And so it went. I made any com
radeship between us impossible, for
how can you chum with a woman who
goes about with a chip on her shoul
der always looking for offense, always
suspioioning -the worst, and with
whom any frank conversation is ab
solutely impossible?
"After a while my husband grew
tired of trying to handle me with kid '
gloves, and sidestepping my supersen
sitive feelings. Instead of inviting
me to weep on the second button of
his waistcoat when 1 burst into tears
at nothing, he slammed the door be
hind him and told me not to act like
a fool. And that was the end. I lost
him through coddling my sensibilities
instead of trying to act like a rational
[human being."
A SMART WINTER COAT
A New Model that can be Made to
take Two Distinctly Different Forms.
By MAY MANTON
i $438 Double-Breasted Coat,
34 to 44 bust.
It is not often that one pattern can be i
made to serve two entirely different end*
but here is a coat that can be made with
a tunic to wear over a plain skirt or with
out the tunic 1o wear over a fancy skirt and
the difference is so complete that it
scarcely would be recoKi.ized as funda- !
mentally the same. The short double- '
breasted coat is much liked for the tunic
skirts and for the draped skirts that still
keep their place and the coat with the
open tunic is one of the newest of the sort.
The model while it includes all the latest
features, is eminently a simple one, for the
seams to the shoulders mean easy fit. The
tunic when used is joined to the lower
edge and the model will be found an
excellent one for all the fashionable serges,
for the broadcloth that is so much liked,
as well as for gabardine, wool velours
and the like. |
For the medium size, the coat with '
tunic will require 6 yds. of material 27,
yds. 36, 3% yds. 44, 3 yds. 50 in. wide,
with 1$ yd. of velvet for the collar; the
coat without tunic 3H yds. 27, 2J4 yds. 1
36, 1 J'g yds. 44, 1 yds. 50.
The pattern 8438 JS cut in sizes from 34
to 44 inches bust measure. It will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion De
partment of this paper, on receipt of tea
