Tied in Front or Back. The very latest idea in the arrange: ment of a scar( is to bring it around the neck snug o that it gives a slim effect, and tie it in the back | at the nape of the neck or in front close under the chin, It is abs lutely necessary to make the neck appear slender. Sometimes the scarf is wound twice around the neck and sometimes but once. It may be tied in 4 bow with short loops and ‘long ends, or it may be merely tied in { a knot. Whichever style is followed | should depend on the material from which the scarf is made. A sheer scarf could be tied in a natty bow nd be charming, while a bow of | heavy silk or a homespun scarf would be entirely too bulky. For | such scarfs use & knot instead Like Hat Ribbon. When the scarf is tied at the nape of the neck the ends look almost as if they came from the hat itself, when the head is held up, especially when the hat sets low in the neck. Tmagine a costume like this whick wus worn at smart function abroad. The costume was developed in red and black. The hat was black with a bright red band about it. The scarf matched the band and | was tight about the neck and tied | in flat knot in back. The frock was black and red, stockings black, and shoes red, though black shees and red stockings would be equally chic. The sleeves were long and full at the wrist Adapting the Style. Such a costume might be rather striking for ope not having every | item in the very height of fashion, | but it indicates interesting features that could be carried out in a con- | servative way. The colars could be | less pronounced, for instance. The scarf could be made of a length of hemstitched chiffon matching _the trimming of a dress and the shoes nd stockings continue the color scheme. A scarf of georgette made to match a frock that was -not actually new, when worn in the natty way described, would give the entire | costume a stylish appearance.

One day David was called into Mr. Creakle's office. He often received a package of goodies from Peggotty, so he hurried in excitedly, thinking that was what it was. But no sooner had he seen the solemn face of the prin- cipal than he knew it was for some- thing far different that he had been summoned this time. “My dear boy,” began the prin- cipal, “I grieve to tell youy that I have heard this morning that your mother is ill.

Have You the Price to Marry? [Advises Young [Couplea to Get| a Bank Balance Before] a License “TION'T get married While in debt.” said Ugited States Senator McKinley 1o the graduating class of a university. It is good advice, and he might have amplified it by adding, “‘Don’t get married until you have some sure and certain way of making a decent living for a family.” For nothing would do- more to stop divorce and promote the zeneral average of human happiness than for young people.to recognize the cold, hard, unromantic fact that for a marriage to be successful it has to be adequafely financed. ‘There i nd other such crime as that of teaching people to look upon matrimony solely from 4 sentimental standpoint, when in reality it is the one thing to whose consideration we need to bring good, hard, common sense. Yet to such an extent has the romantic fallacy been carried that if two cal- low young ereatures imagine they are in love public sentiment actually backs them up In getting married, aithough they may have never a cent with which to pay the butcher and baker and candlestick maker. It is precisely as if we thought that life ended, as a novel does. with the wedding, and that the happy couple would not be hungry for beefsteak and onions by the next mealtime. They always are, and when they find, to their surprise that matrimoeny has not impaired their appetite or their desire for good clothes, and that they take the same interest in golf and shopping and going to the theater that they did in their pre-matrimonial days, and that there is no money to gratify the tastes and habits of a Nfetime, why, then the trouble begins, There are quarrels, and criminations and recriminations, and the woman becomes fret- ful and complaining and the man surly and grouchy and discouraged, and the first thing you know the marriage goes into the discard. For while in theory and poetry love is enough, practically it is very far from being all-sufficient. No man and woman are in the proper frame of mind to be lovers when they are hungry, and the affection that has to stand the wear and tear of shabby clothes and the harassment of unpaid bills is pretty apt soon to show signs of frazzling around the edges. * ok k k ) Ol*‘ courseevery young man in love thinks that there is no sacrifice that. he would not be willing to make for the woman he loves. Perhaps if he could make one great, stupendous sacrifice all would be well and love would Justify itself. But the sacrifices that a man is called upon to make when he marries before he is able to afford 4 wife are not one grand heroic gesture. They are never-ending, sordid, nagging, little sacrifices that sting Jike a gadfly and &et upon his nerves. Alone and unmarried. he has been able to live comfortably, to have good clothes, pleasant surroundings, to eat good food, to mingle in good society, to go to the theaters, to buy books; above all, to be independent, owing no man anything. Married, he can never make the ends meet. He is hounded by hill collec- tors. He is tortured by fear of the future. He must go shabby. He must live in & cheap hume, where every stick of furniture is an offense to his taste. He must give up his old friends, his old amusements, all of the little elegancies and refinements of life because he cannot afford them. Worse still, he looks with disillusioned eyes upon the woman for whom he has made this sacrifice and whom he has dragged down to the depth of poverty The woman he fell in Jove with was dainty, beautifully dressed, serene, interesting, not a hard-werked drudge, with toil'w hands, in hideous, I fitting clothes, too tired to care how she looks. too worn to be anything but nervous and shrewish Dm:s anybody imagine that such a marrriage bring man or to the woman? What is there but misery in a marriage that reduces a refined und educated woman to hopeless slavery, to the cook stove. and the washtub, and the baby perambulator? It-robs her life of all beauty, and ease, and comfort. It is not necessary for young people to have riches before they venture to marry. Far from it. The very happiest marriages in the world are those where young men and women, with moderate means, marry and work their way by thrift and industry. e kel o any happiness to the But unless there is sufficient income to maintain them in comfort, in the way of life to which they have been accustomed to live, matrimony is a hazardous experiment to try, with the chances against its success, Wives and children are luxuries just as much as automobiles. Only those have a right to them who have the price and can afford them, And only those get any pleasure out of them who do not have to count the up keep. Any one who would advise young people to zet married without some money in the bank and a settled and definite way of making a living, on the theory that they will somehow get along, would advise & man who couldn't swim to take a chance and jump overboard at sea because thera have been people who didn't drown, and there is generally somebody who stands he- tween a fool and his folly.

Here's a strange case, indeed— that of a girl who worries herself to death for tear of being a gold digger —and wait tll you hear the story. he's heen accustomed to only High school boys. She's gone to dances with theni, spent evenings at the movies with them, and dropped into a corner drug store on the way home to have a soda. Occasionally, if one of the boys was in funds, they’d go around to a tea room and have a sandwich and a cup of coffee. That represented the big- gest kind of an evening, Then suddenly along came an older man—a man with a good job and plenty of money—quite a nice fellow, too, but with entirely different ideas from those of the high school boys. Being the sort of chap he wus, he very naturally asked her where sh wanted to go—and that was the first blow. _For, though she was a born New Yorker and knew the names of all sorts of places, she hadn’'t the courage (o mention them for fear they would be too expensive. So she suggested the movi he looked surprised. Still, he went cheerfully enough and they had a fairly jolly evening there. After the show he asked her where she'd like to have “supper.” Supper! She'd never dreamed of such a thing! So she told him she'd rather have just & soda at the corner drug store. Now all this must have amazed him —and perhaps amused him the first time. - * After all, it {s rather a novelty to meet i girl who doesn’t immediately pilot you into the most expensive and noisiest. restaurant in the town. Only, you see, this chap rather likes going to more expensive places. He's used to a salad and a éyp of coffee and an ice after the theater. That's his idea of a rather nice finish 4o the evening, and if this little girl persists in sticking to her soda foun- tain and héer movies his amusement will turn to disgust, Her attitude is, of course, quite commendable and understandable. She doesn't want to make him spend money on her—as she says, “foolishly. But he doesn't think that money spent on a good show and an excel- lent supper afterward is spent fool- ishiy. He doesn’t understand her attitude, and as long as it deprives him of what he regards as ordinary enjoy- ment he will resent it. Since there is no harm in the sort of evening he considers good fun, there is no earthly reason why the girl should feel timid about accepting his attentions. She should be adaptable enough to fall in with his scheme of things— and not try_to make him conform to high school standards. Wateh out for this in the older men you meet, girls. Don't become alarm- ed and unhappy because some new beau waits to spend more money on you than you're accustomed to. Gold digging 18 foreing a man to spend money on you. As long as there's no force em- ployed you're behaving perfectly. | What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Virgo. The unfavorable planetary. aspects that prevail this evening wilt be dissi- pated, and those of tomorrow reveal a favarable atmosphere and a stimulat- ing influence. They appear, so far as the indications go, to depote very aus- picious happenings for. all those en- gaged in operations of a financial character, This does not mean, how- ever, that speculation is favored. On the contrary, if thé sgns are mter- preted correctly, everything that ga- vors of risk is doomed to utter failure. It is a good epportunity for the execu- tion of agreements, or the conclusion |of negotiations that for some reason have been hitherto delayed. The home atmosphere promises to be very felici- tous, and there will be experienced a sense of co-operation which, in itself, always promotes harmony. A child born tomorrow will be very | | healthy, and its few infantile ailments will readily yield to proper treatment The signs denote that on the brink of the adolescent stage it will be liable to have an accident of a more or less serious gature. Every care should be taken t¢"inculcate in this child’s mind the folly of taking chanees, or the risk of overtaxing its strength. The dispo- |sition of the boy will be cheerful and attractive He will be loyal, generous and clean-cut, and will develop into a good, useful and successful citizen. The girl will be querulous, extremely jealous, inordinately selfish and a per- t .and self-appointed eritic of hing and everybody.

Recovery From Insanity. i Many people still seem to have a slight touch of Billings' complaint, re. | ferring to the question of recovery from tuberculosis; they know that once you contract the consumption you're a goner. The truth is that the majority of persons who have tuber- | cutoss do not succumb to the disease: | in fact, if the patient and his friends | have sufficient intelligence or plain | sense to permit a positive diagnosis | in the early or incipient stage and the | careful medical treatment of the dis- ease, recovery is the usual thing in | the course of & year or twa. Most people have un impr | that persons who go insane are| doomed, that the mental disturbance | goes from bad to worse, and that any | apparent recoveries are only tempo- | rary, and the victims soon break | down again.
