The beads are in tones of china blue and pearl gray, and they form a clo: striped pattern from neckline to fur-tipped hem. The embroidery is worked in pale henna and blue-gray silk, in an odd Chi nese motif inclosed in a circle, which is repeated at frequent intervals on the delicate chiffon background. An attractive dinner gown is of black chiffon velvet, effectivelystrim- med with sapphire’ blue velvet rib- bon. The lines are simple and yet smart, for the slightly bloused bodier is cut with rounded neck and shoulder straps wide zest kimono sleevelets, while the skirt is a continuation of the blouse with no seam at_the waist line, but with a few draped folds that simulate u crushed girdle. The lower part of the skirt narrows perceptibly, until it fits in to the ankles almost as enugly as if an elastic were run through the hem. An_ oblong strip of blue velvet ribbon fs laid across the lower part of the blouse, and from it is suspended a single sash end of ribbon, rounded at the lower edge. A gorgeous ornament of rhine. &tones seems to hold the velvet places together at the waist, and the effect the gleaming jewels on their rich lue background is stunaing. A lovely little evening frock for the eune fille is of apricot chiffon over the same shade of satin creps.

Toot ball Is a pernicious game for Bigh school boys. It is & man's game. Even for men who have fairly attained their growth and develop- gent it is a very strenuous game, for Svhich the player must be trained with nice scientific care lest he suffer Serious or permanent physical dam- pge. To permit lads in their teens tosattempt to play foot ball, to pre- tend to “train” them In & season oounted by days rather than weeks @nd months, is an abuse of athletics Wwhich no one interested in physical education should countenance. There is a condition or state which Mthletes call staleness, broufht about by overexcrtion, by exercise of any kind carried to excess before the in- dividual has been sufficiently trained | for endurance. Staleness is a mani- festation of constitutional exhaustion. wwhich expresses itself in breathless- oss on exertion, as a first stage of he condition of staleness. From this stage or degres of staleness, if in- tclligent training is vouchsafed the @thlete, rest brings fairly prompt and Bure recovery. The second degree or stage of ptaleness is marked by a strange fatigue or lassitude which affects the Svhole muscular system; with a Jonger rest, recovery is usually a matter of a week or two. The third wstage of staleness drifts into a chronic condition, from which recov- ery is problematic; the victim loses nterest In his game, exercise and every thing else; his muscles lose thelr elasticity and become flabby: he appears pale; his eyes are dull 8nd listless; he shuns the slightest effort, Hi pressure and tem- perature are below normal; his sleep does mot refresh him; his :flr“u ’: s, his temper peevish; he unable to concentrate on his work 99 study; he loses ,'tl&fi This is a sad but frequent result of the crude, unscientific attempt to train_growing boys for such severs endurance tests as foot ball games.

Boxing might well supplant foot ball in the high school curriculum. Tt would be a fine thing if every boy were re- quired to take a regular course in boxing from a competent instructor as part of his high school training— eyery boy who tsn't physically dis- abled, not just the handful of boy. Who play foot ball. e Foot ball has never shown itself a very valuable game so far as the phyaical development of the player s concerned. Indeed, the premature shooking fatality which overtakes now this, now that great foot ball star of a few vears ago makes one wonder whether the game is worth the candle, even for college men, Probably overstrain of the heart has something to do with the untimely deaths of former athletes. Ordinary _acute dilation of the heart, which occurs when an athlete | loses his wind and collapses at the finish or near the finish of & supreme effort, clears up completely in & few hours or & day or two, but some- times the strain is so severe that & complete recovery mnever does take EI*0LE 1o With " Bandicapped heart o a whioch is not & good heart to with- stand the overioad of such an emers genay as pneumonia for instance, The Husband Who Is Jealous of His Wile’s Woman Friends—The Young Man Who Couldn’t See a Joke—She Has Three Pro- posals, Which Shall She Take? JDEAR MISS DIX: T have been married two years to & wondertul husband— but he doesn’t want me to have any girl friends, and always ridicules them, or finds some fault with them, and naturally this hurts me very much, and we quarrel over it. Lately we have had some rather serious soraps about it. Must 1 give up all my friends? I never go out with them when my husband is at home, so he has no complaint on that score. It certainly seems unreasonable to me that I can't see a few of my girl chums in the afternoon without starting trouble. M. E. T. Answer: Your husband certainly is unreasonable . BE. T to ot green-eyed over your girl friends, but Jealousy is always unreasonable. His love for you makes him want to be all-in-all to you, and he resents the fact that no human being ever com- pletely satisfies another. Men need assoclation with other men, and your husband gets that in his business. Women need the so- clety of other women, and your hus- band is foollsh and selfish ugh to want to deny you that. He does not sée wh ou want to gossip, and k about clothes, and exchange recipes DOROTHY DIX. for new sandwich fillings, and tell each other the intimate woms that women talk about, and that no woman r tells to how much she loves im, because they are th L understand, and that she knows he never can understand. Of course, there are women who do cling too clo: to_their friends. You can’t blame a man for not wanting to have his wife's chums always under foot, always camped In the spare room, always breaking up the intimacy of his home life by their presence. But, taken in broken doses, and with reason, 4 woman has & right to her girl friends, and her husband 1s narrow and churlish to want to deny her this pleasure. It is curious, though, this jealousy that men and women have of those whom their wives and husbands knew In the past. It is a more common fault with women than with men. The first th that nearly every wife does is to separate her husband from all of his old friends. Men more rarely object to their wives' old friends, so that your case is an exceptional one. The only remedy is to quit quarreling with him about it, for the more you seem to care for them, the more jealous he will be of them. Use a’little tact in dealing with the situation, and his jealousy will die out for want of food to feed on. DOROTHY DIX. girl TVEAR MISS DIX: T have a young friend of whom T am very fond. Among other things he did that interested me was to send me clippings, jokes, ete., that he cut out of papers and magazines. I enjoyed th. much, and all went well until I suw Something that I thought he would like, and sent him a newspaper joke. But he didn't see the joke of it at all. He thought I intended it a8 an insult, which was the thing farthest from my thoughts. And he got furlously angry with me. I apologized all over the place, and told him I was sorry, and didn’t mean anything, and so on, but he refuses to make up. . I like him very much and would like to renew our friendship. but I think he was wrong, and not I, don't you? M. W. W. Anmwer: Of course you are In the right, M. W. W. You have done all you could to make the amende honorable, and I woul, flona until ho found his funnybone once more. © oL o 1et the youns chap But when you are older and wiser, my dear, and know more about men you will never try to joke with one, and especially vou will never try to joke with a joker, because men have no sense of humor where they arc concerned themselves. Nothing delights a man more than to jibe the peculiarities and weaknesses of women—and, goodness know we ar funny enough. But the minute a woman makes a few merry o s at the peculiarities of men, every man beats it away from her presence, You may have noticed that nearly every husband’s good stories turn on some mistake that his wife has made. At a dinner party he just loves o set the table in a roar by telling about the time that she signed a check ours affectionately, Mary Jones,” or how she forgot that she had hidden $50 in the 0ld stove, and sold it to a junk man for 50 cents. But you will also recall that while the wife flushed and looked as If she were about to cry, she didn't retort with a side-splitting anecdote about the way husband acted the night he got full, and couldn’t find the keyhole, or about how he got taken in by a smooth st y vi or about Y & smooth stranger who sold him wildcat You see, wifle knew b: hum‘x to laugh at himselt. nd yet men miss such an awfully good joke I See how funny they are! 7 Kool toke In SOROTE Alle * . . =] TEAR DOROTHY DIX: T have three offers of marriage from men who are all fine fellows.

The latter two forms of the name are the only modern survivals of the original form of the word mill, which ‘was *milne” or “melne.” There 1s another connegtion here, too, which does not strike most peo- ple. It becomes more obvious as we trace the spelling of th back to “melne.” and the word menl back to its older form of “mele. The name of the article and that of the place in which it is made come from the same word root. The family name of Miller is al- st always found with the spelling “Mellere” ‘in the medieval records, and Milner s found as ‘Melner.” In the beginning these words were used in the purely descriptive sense, denoting _the ocoupation of the bearer, as “Adam lo Mellere" or “Edgar le Melner.
