OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
Are you hurt?" was Dayton's first
query as he raised Sylvia from the
floor at his feet where she had been
thrown by the violent impact of the
car against the tree.
She was sobbing and clung to him
hyaterlcally. "Oh, what has happene
ed? What has happened?" she wall
ed.
A glance at her face showed him
that she was more frightened than
hurt, and he looked anxiously at
Grace. She was pale, but smiled re
assuringly.
"I'm all right," she said. "I saw
what was coming and I held fast
to the front seat. I've often heard
of a car's skidding, but I never was
In one that did It. It's an experi
ence."
"Oh, how can you talk so?" Sylvia
quavered, trying to dry her eyes
and rain-splashed face with a tiny
pocket handkerchief. "Something's
broken, of course."
"Of course," the man replied
grimly. "And as I can't be wetter
than I am already, I'll get out and
investigate."
"The radiator's smashed," he an
nounced a moment later, then stood,
regardless of the rain, looking rue
fully at the automobile.
"Well, this Is a fix!" he remarked
at last. "I've gotten you ladies Into
a pretty mess. I'm awfully sorry."
''Can't It be mended?" Sylvia ask
ed tremulously.
"■""'hen it's towed to a garage—
yef," he replied. "But meanwhile
here we are."
"But we needn't stay here," Grace
supplemented. "Fortunately we have
feet that are in good working order.
How far are we from the hotel ?"
"About four miles."
A CHANCE TO WAIjK.
"Well, . we'll have to walk It—
that's all," she told him.
"Walk it!" Sylvia exclaimed. "Oh,
I couldn't! I'm not a good walker
at any time—and in these shoes—
why, X couldn't!"
She thrust a dainty foot out for
their inspection. In Its gray suede
slipper and silk stocking it looked
strangely small and delicate from
beneath the edge of the rough rain
coat.
"Ye gods!" Henry ejaculated.
"What shall we do "
"Look!" Grace said, suddenly,
pointing straight ahead. "Isn't that
a carriage down on the cross roads
below us?"
He gazed in the direction she Indi
cated.
"Sure enough it is!" he agreed
joyously. "It's «. top buggy, and
perhaps there's only one person in
it. Just wait until I make sure."
Ignoring rain and puddles, he
ran down the slope that lay between
the automobilists and a back road
leading by the most direct route
into the village, on the edge of
which was the hotel.
The girls watched him in silence,
heard him call to the occupant of
the buggy, saw the horse stop and
could, in imagination, almost hear
the conversation between the city
man and the country farmer.
Then the horse and buggy turned
up the road on which the automo
bile was stranded. As the vehicle
approached, Grace and Sylvia saw
Toy Yacht Racing
By Constance Clark
The youngsters in several of the
New York schools have developed a
new sport which not only gives pleas
ure to them, but Interests a large
number of spectators. They are
forming yacht clubs for the sailing of
toy yachts in the lake in Central park.
The toy boats are constructed in the
Manual Training School rooms and
contain as many features as possible
of the larger vessels from which tliej;
are copied. The races for these
miniature craft are conducted with
due regard to the regulations govern
ing the large yacht races which have'
become so important a sport among
American millionaires. A number of
miniature yacht races are already
scheduled as a part of the Fourth of
July celebrations of several public
schools.

THURSDAY EVENING,
that the driver was a fculky farmer
and that it was with difficulty that
Dayton had squeezed himself into
the narrow seat with him. The
horse was a lank and spiritless
roan, showing his years and bones
shamelessly.
• "This," announced Dayton, alight
ing and coming to the car, "is Mr.
Hendricks. He was on his way
home, but he says that he will
drive one of you Into the village.
Unfortunately the buggy will hold
only one person besides himself.
The twinkle with which he
glanced at the portly figure brought
an answering gleam to Grace's eyes.
"Miss Ainslle must be driven
home," she said quickly. "She is
right in declaring that she cannot
walk in those shoes. The high heels
would make it impossible. More
over, her pretty clothes would be
ruined. Mine cannot be spoiled by
the rain. And besides," with a look
at the thinning clouds, "the storm is
almost over."
GRACE TO THE RESCUE.
"But the roads," he reminded her,
"are in a frightful condition. You
will be mud up to your ankles.
You'd best stay here and let Mr.
Hendricks have them send a rig from
the hotel for us."
"Nonsense!" protected Grace. "It
would be at least an hour —wouldn't
It, Mr. Hendricks —before you could
get to the hotel?"
"Easy that," the farmer replied.
"My horse is kinder old and a leetle
lame, and the roads is all of a muck.
That back road's something fierce
after a rain. So I'll have to drive
slow. But I'll get the lady there
all right!"
"Is there no other way?" Sylvia
appealed to Dayton.
"No other way, unless you walk,"
he rejoined firmly. "We're in great
luck to secure this vehicle. You
forget that we are at least two miles
from any human habitation. Shall
I help you into the buggy?"
"I suppose there's nothing else for
me to do." she complained. "I wish
I had never come."
"I am sorry," her host regretted,
his face flushing . "But none of us
could foresee this accident."
"Well, in all the motoring I've done,
such a thing as this has never hap
pened to me before," Sylvia remarked
plaintively as she rose to obey his
suggestion. "Oh!" glancing down at
the stretch of mud between the car
and the buggy, "I cannot step across
there!"
"Allow me!" Dayton said, his man
ner grave and formal. "I will carry
you over."
She did pot protest, and he lifted
her light form as if she had been a
child and put her Into the carriage.
"It's a rather close fit," she mur
mured. "I wish, Miss Webb, that
there was room for you, too. But
the seat's ridiculously small."
Grace wondered how much Day
ton had handed to the farmer to
make him consider It worth his
while to drive several miles out of
his way over muddy roads. She
could not know that a crisp five
dollar bill was the price Henry Da",
ton was paying to keep a pretty
girl's dainty feet dry.

A Substitute For Cork
[The Searchlight.]
The shortage of cork, due to the
lack of Importation from Spain on
account of the war, Is likely to be
made up by the increased use of
substitutes. Some experiments con
ducted a few months ago in the Mis
souri Botanical Garden in St. Louis
developed the fact that Balsa, a wood
native to West Indian and Central
America, is nearly twice as light as
cork. It is also easily cut. It has
lately been put in use by the United
States as a filling for life-savers for
both coast and river steamers and
also for buoys and water signals
Although comparatively unknown two
•years ago, large importations of It
have been made within the past six
months and the demand is increas
ing.
ARTISTIC FROCK
HAS OVERBODICE
Taffetas With Velvet Bandings
Are Much Liked For
Dressy Wear
By MAY MANTON
0060 With BastbieLine and Added
Seam Allowance ) Dress with Over-
Bodice for Misses and Small Women,
16 and 18 years.
Here ia one of the prettiest frocks that
could be offered for the young girls and
for the small women. The simple three
piece_skirt is gathered at the upper edge
and joined to the under-bodice or lining
while the sleeveless over-bodice is finished
separately. In the picture, a plaid
taffeta is combined with plain and is
worn over a blouse of Georgette crtpe,
but there are numberless materials
adapted to summer wear that could be
Utilized. Plain taffeta would be pretty
with bands of velvet ribbon. For the
simpler frock, cotton voile or cotton
crfipe or some similar material could
be used.
For the 16 year size will be needed,
5'A yard* of material 36 or 5 yards 44
inches wide for the over-bodice and
•kirt, aJi yards 36 for the under-bodice.
The pattern No. 9060 is cut in sizes
for 16 and 18 years. It will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion Depart
ment of this paper, on receipt of ten ceuta.
MIDSUMMER STYLE
IN SUITS AND FROCKS
With the first, sultry days of sum
mer, one naturally turns to white, or
the pale-toned linens and cottons.
Owing to the popularity of stripes and
checks, it is safe to say that it will not
be an all-white season, but all-white
Is to be very popular, nevertheless.
One of the coolest and most novel
of the new summer materials, both for
suits and dresses, Is wash satin. This
comes In the plain flat tones and also
in white. It is a practical fabric, too,
as it sheds dust, does not wrinkle
readily, and launders perfectly. Coats
and blouses, too, for wear with skirts
of linen, the colored cottons, or the
regulation suit or skirt of serge or ga
bardine, are being fashioned of wash
satin, most effectively. A tennis coat
in Norfolk fashion, a belted Russian,
or one of the various other peplum
models, developed in a soft tone of
satin, may be worn for morning,
sports wear, or for afternoons.
The sheer linens, cottons and silks
are all very popular for frocks and
blouses. Pale tones and white pre
dominate. Organdies and voiles are
dainty and cool for afternoon frocks,
and net and taffeta are combined ef
fectively for evening and the more
elaborate afternoon dresses.
How the separate skirt could ever
have be£n laid aside for a season or
two, as it was, is Indeed a mystery,
when one considers how very practical
It is. Its popularity this season, how
ever, is quite making up for the year
or two of indifference. Separate skirts
of taffeta, satin, faille and similar
silka are being worn considerably for
all daytime purposes, combined with
blouses of Georgette, chiffon and the
other sheer silks. For sports purposes
striped and checked linens, canvas
weaves, cotton velours, corduroys,
and the various white corded cottons
are favored, as well as the novelty
wash satins and Jersey silks; wool
Jerseys in bright tones of rose, green,
gold, and like shades Is also popular.
The separate skirt and contrasting
coat are particularly smart for sports
purposes. Some of the good shops are
showing cream-white serge skirts,
combined with wash satin blouses, and
coats of blue serge, or the novelty
striped silks or linens for tennis, golf
and the like.
A Home Haircutter
[The Searchlight.]
, The man who hates to go to the
barber-shop will hall the Invention of
a safety hair-cutter which will en
able him to out his hair In his own
home. This hair-cutter Is upon the
same plan as the safety-razor except
ing that a comb takes the place of
the eteel guard. It Is possible for the
user to cut his hair almost as close
with this new Instrument as with a
razor, If ho cares to. It removes the
hair readily from behind the ears and
the back of the neck, a feature of ton
sorlal work that even some barbers
find difficult.

"Marrying Justice"
Unites 66 in One Day
Chicago.—Judge Baldwin's second
day as Cook County's official "marry
ing Judge" was an eventful one. That
the new system of having all mar
riages in Circuit Court performed by
one Judge, with the aim of elimina
ting the "marriage mills" conducted
by certain Justices of the Peace, is in
popular favor was shown when thirty
three couples were married by Judge
Baldwin.
This made atotal of forty-seven
ceremonies in the day and a half
that the "marrying court" had been
in existence.
Given 10-Minute Term;
Serves It in Courtroom

spent the last four months in jail

ten-minute sentence when his case
tinally came up in court.
Klent raised his hand and remark

had enough punishment. The Judge
sent him to the jury box to serve a
ten minutes' sentence.
