BROWN & CO., wowen tgjnTeßg-sT^ x > What Has a Wife a Right to Expect By HORtWH nix A wife has a right to expect that her husband shall have finished sow ing his wild oats before he marries. Unless a man has made up his mind that he is tired of running with the boys and prefers the lady he has asked to be his wife to any other woman In the world he does a most dishonorable thing to marry. Possibly In the olden days, when a man really did a woman a favor by keeping her from being an old matcl, there was' some excuse for the man who married a girl and put her down In a home, or a boardlnghouse, and left her by her lonely while he went off to amuse himself with his boon companions. No such excuse prevails now. The unmarried woman Is very comfortable as she Is. thank you, and doesn't need to get married for an oc cupation or a support. Furthermore, she wouldn't If she; had the faintest Idea that a man was j marrying her to leave her, and Just to get somebody to keep a comfort able place for him to come home to when everything else shuts up. There fore, if a man Is going to spend his evenings at his club, or playing poker, or has an Incurable propensity for taking blondes out to dinner and sup- I per and automobile riding, In plain j Justice he should stay single. There Is no compulsory marriage law. Woman Has Right to Kxpect Husband Will Make Her Ills Comrade A wife has a right to expect that her husband will make her his com rade and friend, and give her some of hts companionship. If a man Is of the opinion that his wife has not the intelligence to understand his jyilghty masculine Intellect, or see the 'pitin t of his wit, he should not have married her. He should have picked out somebody in his own class, and at least have given her an opportunity of marrying some man on her own plane. Then she might have had a little companionship. , If, however, he thinks she isn't a fool, and very few men do think that prewnts~femtenting Dip the tops of your fruit jars in ■<*/ a pan of melted Parowax (pure, \ refined paraffine), and there you are—sure, pure, can't-spoil pre- isC serves for next of < N JJtjbarfsmnf JJ/" Oales and |3ei°vice V — u We'll Design For You The poster stamp idea has struck Harrisburg.

The average American businessman at home makes a clan seem abso lutely loquacious, lie rushes through •.. ~f lightning speed, gen erally with the newspaper In front of him; gives his wife a dab on the cheek by way of a kiss, and bangs the front door behind him. He comes home late to dinner, eats It in silence that Is often only broken to scold at the children or criticize the cooking. Then, with cigar and paper, he set tles himself for the evening and only grunts a monosyllabic reply when his wife tries to talk to him. For con versation and general companionship she might Just as well have a stuffed : Teddy bear for a husband. | That* isn't the kind of a happy evening at home that the girl who married him dreamed of having, and the wonder of It Is that more women whose husbands never talk to them, and never try to entertain them, and never evince the slightest interest in them, don't hunt up some other man j who will make himself agreeable, liotli Have Htght to Kxpect Respect For Their Personal Liberty A wife has a right to expect that her husband will respect her personal liberty as she does his. "Liberty" In marriage does not mean "license" any more than it does anywhere else. It simply means that a wife should have Just as much right to freedom of thought and act within the prescribed bounds of propriety as a husband has. Matrimony is bound to be a series of concessions, but because a woman is married Is no reason why she should be forced to sacrifice her own person ality, and become a weak echo of her .husband. Provided she does not ex ceed her allowance she should have the privilege of spending her money as she likes, and so long as she does not of Her Husband? run the thing Into the ground anil interfere with her husband's comfort she should have the right to join whatever clubs she pleases, or pass her leisure in the manner most agreeable to herself. A husband soon begins to hate the wife who polices his every move, and a wife entertains pretty much the same feeling toward the husband to whom she has to go for permission for everything she does as If she were a child. The tyrant on the hearth stone is never loved, no matter what the sex. A woman has a right to expect that her husband will do his share toward making a happy home, it's a big job, making a happy home. It's more than any one person can do, and especially It's more than any woman can do alone. Ilivs Klglit to Expert Husband to Al<l in Making Happy Home A woman has a right to expect her husband to help her make a happy home. The old recipes for the con struction of Ideal family life always tell the wife to so about with a glad, sweet smile, and to keep all of her little worries out of sight. That's good us far as it goes, hut it doesn't go far enough, for no woman can make a happy home, even though she grins like a Cheshire cat, if the man of the house is surly and grouchy or swear ing around like blue blazes, or if he makes his home a dumping ground for all the accumulated nerves and worries of the dav. It's Just as much a man's part to smile as It is a woman's. It Is Just as much up to the husband to make 1 some active effort toward making the home happy as It Is the wife, and whenever you find a real, bright, sun shiny home, take my word for It you are going to find some big, cheerful man In It, doing his share of the ra diation of good cheer. That's the kind of a husband that every woman has got a right to ex pect; but, oh, me! oh, my! what a rare animal he Is! ;A DAINTY LITTLE FROCK A Simple Dress Perfectly Adapted to the Wee Child's Needs. By MAY MANTON 8706 Child's Dress, 6 months or I year, 2 and 4 years. The simple little frock that hangs fn ttraight lines from the yoke is perhaps the best for the very small child. This one is rendered somewhat unusual by the shaping of the yoke, but it retains all the general characteristics. Here, the upper 6ection or the yoke is embroidered with little flower sprays and that treatment is an exceedingly dainty one. Lawn and batiste are the materials most in use for dresses of this sort, but for the four ; year child, colors are correct as well as all white and a simple little Dresden lawn or even a Dresden voile would be very 1 pretty. This is essentially a colored sea son and pink lawn or blue lawn would be very charming with trimming of white banding or perhaps with the yoke made entirely of white all-over embroidery.! Both the blues and the pinks are especially 1 lovely this season and there are many shades which seem peculiarly adapted to the wee child's use. For the 2 year size will be required a yds. of material 27 in. wide, 1# yds. 36 or 44, with 2% yds. of banding to trim as illustrated. The pattern No. 8706 is cut in sizes for 6 mos. or 1 year, 2 and 4 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

All moving- ilcture rights and reserved. Sharp and clear above the crash of the orchestra and the murmured voices of the dancers, the revolver shot rang out. The music died in mid-air, its pulsating throbs ebbing away Into a slow, pathetic wail that ended almost in a human sob. With pale faces and trembling limbs the dancers stopped where the music had left them; some with arms upraised; some with one foot In the air. It was a tense moment; a moment fraught with pregnant portent. All the wealth and society of the town was at th* Van Llnd residence that night. Mrs. Van IJnd, leader in her set and fashions devotee, was giv ing a ball for the relief of the Bel- Mi»« Columbia Wa* Leading the Dance and Joy Reigned Uncon fined. glans. All the music had a patrlotio lilt; all the guests carried tiny Ameri ! can flags, and the prettiest girl in town, dressed as Miss Columbia, was i leading the dance. Joy reigned un- I confined. And then the shot. I The sound seemed to come from a j chamber to the right of the ballroom, and the startled dancers, gazing in that j direction, saw a tiny wisp of smoke ' j uncurl itself from the rich portieres , and waft gently towards the celling. 1 j One, more bold than the rest, strode towards the d#or and threw aside the | heavy hanging.'). And the tableau that | was there revealed offered food for ! several hundred late supper discus j sions and gave the busy gossips of so ciety many a dainty morsel. The room was. strictly speaking, a den, richly furnished and not very large. Across a table in the center, when the curtain was so rudely brushed aside, sprawled the Inert body of Edgar Clay, society leader, business man, good sport, hard drinker, and the husband of Isabel Clay, prettiest butterfly of them all. Standing over him in a protecting at titude, the smoking revolver still in j his hand, was his business partner | and father-in-law, Russel Irwia. Hate 1 gleamed from a pair of narrowed ! eyes; beady, steady eyes that never j wavered from those of Horace Stone, j attorney, who, pale as death, stared ! back at Irwin from across the table. I At Stone's feet lay a shattered de- I canter, the contents of which ran over j the rich rug in tiny rivulets, strongly j suggesting blood to the excited minds of the eager spectators. But Stone was grasping his right hand with his left, and the trickle of red that oozed between his Angers told only too plainly where the bullet had ! found Its mark. "Oh, Edgar, Edgar are you dead?" From the surge of figures at the j door, one fair form detached Itself I and hurled Its length across the limp and sagging body of Clay on the table. With trembling hands she raised his head, and with choking sobs planted a tearful kiss on his un responsive lips. Anguish and relief and disgust struggled for the mastery of her features as she read the an swer to her question in the kiss. Clay was not dead. He had yielded again to a habit that was stronger than himself. "And may I ask the meaning of this ill-bred disturbance?" Mrs. Van L.ind was speaking and the tone was cold, Incisive, uncom promising. "Irwin nodded grimly towards Stone. And those who watched him closely noted that he held his weapon in a firmer grip. Haughtily the hostess turned her icy, questioning stare in the wounded man's direction. For a moment he hesitated. Then his eyes wavered under the steady gaze of Irwin, and he answered sul lenly: "It was an accident." Avoiding the glances of those who would have questioned him; Ignoring the advances of those who offered sympathy, Stone elbowed his way through the excited throng at the den door and left the house. And so the incident was ended. But it is not with the incident so much, as with the happenings which lead up to it that our story has to do; a story that deals with the lives of men apd women you see around you every day—men and women who sow the seeds of folly and reap the fruit thereof. CHAPTER ONE. Folly was a constant guest at th« home of Edgar Clay and his pretty wife, Isabeile. Folly was the boon companion of this young society couple. Reared in luxury and know ing no restraint except that imposed by their own desires they had gone the pace thi.t has but one ending; had traveled along the road that leads but to dl-wister—disaster that is the more complete the longer it is delayed. That they drifted farther and farther apart was but natural for Folly was always there to see that both persisted In the wilful pursuit of Individual enjoyment. ' And so the Saturday morning on f which our otory opens, found them dangerously near to the parting of the i ways. Clay, young, good looking, but with the marks of dissipation already show ing on his otherwise boyish features, was in no mood for trifling that morn ing. The cares of business weighed heavily upon him. Junior member of the real estate firm of Irwin & Clay, ho realized that the house of which his father-in-law, Russel Irwin, was head, faced financial ruin because of his ex travagances and recklessness. The throbbing in his temples antf the rack ing reminders of last night's wlla time In no wise improved his temper, as he slowly picked at the breakfast that has been served In his room. "Has his lordship a new crown this morning," smiled Isabelle as she cams Into the chamber unannounced and almost unheard. With a slightly forced laugh, she pointed to the wet towel that he had bound around his aching head. "Or Is it some new style of head* gear made fashionable by the •wart'* ■he persisted. ipouTCsum Tfmoaiow.L KNOCKS OVER LAMPI SETS HOUSE AFIRE Tossing around on the floor in an ef fort to find a cool place to sleep, H.
