N’'S PAGE "The bolero as it 1s contrived this sea- ®on may be becoming to almost any mort of figure. A few seasons ago it was only the exceptional woman who could wear the bolero to advantage. The reason for this is that there are ‘many gulses of the new bolero. Dress- makers take liberties with it, and sometimes it Is so far removed from the Spa prototype that it is longer than the typical Spanish bo- lero and sometimes it is shaped. It does not always follow the original in being a sleeveless, removable plece, and sometimes it is only a bolero “ef- fect,” produced by a fold of material applied around the lower part of the badice. Many of the leading French dress- makers make much of the bolero in thelr midseason displays.. They seem to have much faith In its future. Brandt and Jenny are particularly keen about it, and with them the bo- Jero, whether true or affected, is fairly long, ending just above the waistline, which is with them. as with many oth- ers. placed just at the top of the hips. The Spanish woman, for whom the bholern was first devised, was, we must remember, a slender, almost lean indi- vidual. But somehow, with all her leanness, she lacked the effect of an- gularity that accompanies leanness with women of more northern coun- trles. The short holero with a normal walstline was quite possible for her. Her shoulders were broad enough and her waist naturally slender. One of the season’s novelties is the fur holero. Jenny has a clever model of this sort consisting of a straight little sleeved bolero of shaded gray astrakhan, edged with fancy gold brald. It is worn over a black cloth frock the skirt of which consists of three flaring tiers. A lace tie that goes about the neck and is then tied in s=oft loops at the front gives a clever finish to this exceptional en. semble. Another original dressmaker has g bolero of gray krimmer worn over. a skirt of pleated gray kasha. Often the bolero is of velvet edged with piping of satin. Boleros appear on evening frocks A= well as those for daytime, but then the holero is one in semblanca only. A cleverly arranged fold of the ma- Possibilities in the Season’s Bolero BY MARY MARSHALL.

A girl crossing the street hehind an hobile was struck by the tire car- 1wer, on the ahdomen, when the car inexpectedly hacked. She fell on her hande and knees. Some people lifted her to her feet and walked her back and forth, hack and forth, for some time. the girl bent over with pain Did these people do the proper thing? The woman who asks this question -enyvs she would have left the girl lving on the zround, spread a coat or other and waited protection a her, until the gir to sit up. She would have rubbed the girl's hands or feet for warmth, for she thinks heat or warmth is a good remedy for whock. The people who walked the girl about were wrong, but they probably had some vague notion that they were keeping her alive that way.

BRADY, heat—as by hot water bottles, flatirons, etc., to the feet or under the arms or to any part of the hody. of course with precaution against burning—would have heen good treatment. It was mischievious and dangerous to raise her up and especially to encourage her to walk. Most ignorant but somehow always officious bystanders want to make an injured person sit up. This is harm- ful, if there is anything like fainting or shock from injury. By all means keep the victim horizontal, or, better, let the body lie on an incline with the head lowest, or raise only the legs. Shock manifests itself thus: The victim, whether actually injured or only badly frightened, is pale, cold, weak, dazed or.strangely quiet and unresponsive. Perhaps faint replies are made to vigorous questioning. The victim's mental function, like all other functions, is in abeyance; not neces- saglly unconscious, but only half con- scfous. The breathing is shallow and the rate slow; the pulse is weak, rapid, hard for a novice to detect at all; the puplls (dark centers) of the eyes are usually large. though this is 'a sign difficult for the layman to read; the skin is cold or clammy to vour touch and probably covered with cold sweat, at_least about the forehead. That is a picture of shock. fainting, syncope from hemorrhage, and tonad down a bit it passes very well for fright. The first aid or emergency care of all these conditions is the same, as I have outlined it above. Often a necessary part of the treat- ment is an opiate which only the physician can administer. Great pain in itself may cause shock. A degree of shock is mot uncommonly noted in_cases of severe headache, tooth- ache, or stomach ache. Two household or emergency rema- dies are generally available when shock is to be treated without med- ical attendance. One is aromatic spirits of ammonia, of which half a teaspoonful may,be administered in about a quarter of a cupful or glass- ful of cold water, every 15 minutes for an hour or two, if necessary, and if the victim is conscious enough <o swallow. Still hetter as a stimulant is strong applying artificial hot coffee or tea. The story book stimulant, brandy or whisky, is a stimulant oniy in novels.

All this being true, opinion of the widow as a wife applies also to the divorced woman. An¢ whether in marrying her a man should inquire into the cause of the lady’s divorce or not. a man reader of this paper writes to know if this pretty sure to make a good wife, Any wi v, wheth rass or sod, is e il i king, in the world is quite as certain to and, generally speaking, no other woman be a Fnand!puflerp:: the one who gets a good husband after being married to a brute who treated her so badly that she was forced to divorce him. She will know above all other women how to appreciate tenderness, kindness and consideration at their true worth. The woman who has never been married before takes the goodness of a good husband for granted and as no more than she has a right to expect. She feels no especial gratitude for the one who fills her life with happiness and softness. But when a woman who has been badgered, brow-beaten, neglected and humiliated by her first husband gets a second husband who cherishes her she spends her day burning l:tei-mt'tr)‘hlm. ’ SOME of the best wives I have ever known were women who had been divorcees, and it was touching and a little pitiful to see how blissful and humbly grateful they were to their husbands for little attentions that other wives never even noticed. But a man would be an idiot to marry a divorced woman without finding out why she was divorced, just as he would be an idiot to marry any other woman without trying to ascertain all that he possibly could about her character, her disposition and her qualifications for making a good wife and the sort of mother he wants for his children. Certainly a man would take a big risk by marrying a woman whose husband had divorced her for unfaithfulness; for honor is honor and truth is truth, and tne wife who has been disioyal to one man is very likely to be disloyal to another. Barring that or the fact of the woman having been divorced because of the drug or liquor habit, there is no reason why the grass widow should not make as good a wife as any other. If T were a man, however, and thinking of marrying a divorcee—or a debutante, for that matter—the one thing I would take the longest look at would be her temper record. An_ attractive man who is something of a lovemaker himself might successfully rout all affinities, but no amount of human skill or ingenuity can circumvent a temper. A temper is a continual thorn in the flesh, a drop of bitterness that is always with you and always poisoning the springs of life. A bad temper, a mean. nasty, fault-finding disposition will do more to wreck the happiness of a home than drunkenness or any other cause on earth. Amiability, cheerfulness and sanity are the cardinal virtues in wives, and before any woman induced me to stand for her hoard bill for life she would bave to show that this triple crown adorned her brow. Aot T is precisely because widows have usually acquired philosophy and self- control through their experience of matrimony that they make such desirable wives. Most young girls are morbid and take tragical views of things. Above all, they look for the impossible in men and grow hysterical when they find out that a commonplace business man isn't an impassfoned Romeo and that he takes more real heart interest in the stock market than he does in Shakespeare. The widow has passed through this phase of development and has reached the common:-sense plateau of matrimony, in which she doesn’t worry herself or the man by keeping her fingers on the pulse of his affection to see if his love is growing cold. She can take a beefsteak as just as true a token of affection as a bunch of violets. All of which makes her an eminently safe and agreeable party with whom to live. A final recommendation for the widow as a wife is that in marrying her a man knows always just what he Is getting, whereas, a young girl ls problematical. The latter may turn out to he a good housekeeper, 3 good manager, cheerful, diplomatic—or she may not. But the widow has arrived. She is what she is going to be. the full-blown rose, not the bud. And the widow is generally a rose with its thorns clipped. Don't forget that! DOROTHY DIX. The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copsright. 1926.) She is Across. Sketched again. Go stealthily. Meditate. .

TRENTON, N. J., November 2%, 1776.—One more advance by the ene- my and éne more retreat by our peo- ple, and the Army of the United States of America is at Trenton, with its pursuers a few miles away, probably at Princeton by this time.

Howe has come into the Jerseys in person to publish his offer of par- don and peace to patriots who will desert America and bow down to him. The information comes from a Mr. Caldwell, a clergyman of Elizabeth- town, a stanch friend of the cause, who has taken refuge in the moun- tains 10 miles from his home.

Washington's army and are de- termined to return home, although their services in the fleld are more urgently needed than ever before. Most of them are from Maryland. Pennsylvania and the Jerseys. They were invited to attend a blg mass méeting in the vard of the State House (Independence Hall), where they listened to -patriotic appeals by the Maryland delegates in Congress and Gen. Mifflin to return to the Army if only for a month. This meeting was held yesterday, and it is not known how many of the men will respond to the appeal. There is no lack of loyalty to Amer- iea in the ranks, but the men say that they suffeg frightful hardships which only impa¥y their strength and render them unfit'tor duty, and they feel that to continue in the Army under the present conditions is but a useless sacrifice. They complain particularly of a lack of clothing. The Maryland Congressmen, hy guaranteeing to pro. of winter clothing, induced many to return to the service, (Copyright. 1926.)
