Long-Life Lingerie. Lingerie won't live long if it is not bought with wear in mind, as well as those other things which feminine fancy dotes upon. Now is the time for all economical women to take ad- vantage of lingerie sales. Chests and chiffoniers should be taken stock of, end deficiencies noted.. Whether one is- interested in: lingerie for style or wear, this is an excellent buying sea- son. One’'s first question concerning lingerie, if wear is uppermost in mind, is: Will it withstand frequent wash- ings? Underwear may be elaborate and expensive, but neither fact means longer wear. In the long run, flat, simple garments are easler to launder at home, if one does “do them at home” On the other hand, if they are sent out to the laundry, the charge is less and the wear and tear aliso are less. Lingerie to live long must be made strongly and simply. 0dd as it seems to some, simple, strong stuff often costs more than the fancy variety of s another case of pay- ing for quality, and receiving value in , longer wear and more satisfac- ¢ 'wear. Underwear that is elab- te will need constant pairs and patching, and soon the stitch in time, is futile, notwithstanding. What causes most trouble in wash- tng?

The elaborate article takes longer to make, and it requires more work. Simple garments are easily made, and their value is in the material of which they are made. The conclusions to draw are obvious. ‘What are durable trimmings, if trip- mings are required? Good, ' close stitched embroidery, stout cluny, torchon or crocheted edging in about that order. Flat trimmings of any sort have greater durability than the ruffie types. Lingerie suffers little from wear on one's person. Its dura- bility may always be judged by its laundering strength. Skimpy and narrow ready-made un- derwear will, it is true, soon give way under the strain of bodily movements. Few stores nowadays carry such gar- ments, so that that risk is negligible.

TUESDAY, Sound Advice to Wife No. 2, Jealous of Her Dead Rival—Business Girl Whose Husband Expects Her to Be Bread-Winner and Bread-Maker. ]DEAR MISs DIX: Six years ago T marred a widower whom I loved dearly and who is everything that is good and kind and generous to me. We have a beautiful home and I have everything to make me happy, except one thing that hangs like a black cloud over me and is breaking my heart. My husband's first wife died 12 years ago and it his custom to visit her grave and place flowers upon it—forget-me-nots in Summer and fust before cold weather sets in a wreath of evergreens bearing the words: “My Am: He often sits on a bench beside her grave for hours re was fond of during her life. Is this fair to me for him to show this love for his first wife? Please advise me what to do, as T have worried over it until my health is failing. THE OND WIFE Answer dvice to you is to try to look at the matter fairly squarely instead of taking a distorted view of it through eyes clouded green with_jealous What do you want? Would you admire your husband more if he was so greatly lacking in loyalty that he could forget the Woman who was the wife of his youth, the mother of his children; who worked and struggled with him {and helped build up his fortune? Would you think better of him if he put her underground as casually as one might an old work horse that was dead, and if he left her grave neglected, unvisited. with not a flower to show that the one who lay there had been loved and was still remembered? Would you like to know that if you should die your husband would never visit your last resting place, that he would bring no blossom to lay upon it, that he would never sit there and think over the dear old days when you had been happy together? ! Well, what's in a man's nature is fundamental. What he was to one wife he will be to another. If it was out of sight out of mind with his first wife it would be that way with you. So roll that in your cigarette and smoke it. Summon some common sense and justice to your aid vour husband you knew that he was a widower. You knew that he had been happily married and that he Had loved his wife. How unfair now it is of you to resent that love and expect him to wipe all memories of it from his mind {as one washes off a slate! Such a thing is not possible, When you married You would have a right to feel agrrieved If your husband was continually throwing his first wife in your face, if he criticized you and held her up as a model of perfection, or if he made comparisons between her charms and virtues and your own. But he doesn't do this. He only visits her grave occasionally. g lady, you are going out of your way to borrow trouble. If your husband were running after some flapper you would have cause for jealousy, but if all that he does Is to go to the cemetery and sit by his first wife's grave you are lucky. 3 3 Believe me, my dear For there is no rival so little to be feared as a dead one, and loves you noue the le becau: he still has a place in his memory of the wife who has pa d on The best way to exoreise the evil spirit that has taken possession of you is to make a pilgrimage yourself to her grave and lay a tribute upon it. For the second wife owes a real debt of gratitude to the first wife who has not only helped to build up the fortune he is enjoying, but who has trained her husband into knowing how to treat a wife, DOROTHY DIX, EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am 20 years old and have been married about four months. At the time of our marriage my husband had steady em- ployment and seemed fully able to provide a comfortable home for me. How- ever, I kept on with my job and he immediately gave up his and has done virtually noswork since, He is in perfect health, but seems content to stay at home and exist on the comparatively small wages that I earn.

This goes whether the man is a father, a husband or a son. Yet there are thousands of women who, through their love or through their weakness selves to be enslaved to the men who should be imposing on them. an_able-bodied man who protecting them instead of And in every case the women commit a terrible wrong by alding and abetting the men in their weakness. For even a lazy man would rather work than starve, and if these shiftless men had no comfortable place to sleep, no three square meals a day, they would be forced into becoming decent, self- supporting, self-respecting people. y One of the problems of the business woman who would like to continue ruining htm. For undoubtedly it is true that when a/wife can support herself her husband only too often leaves her to do it, and sometime case, he leaves her to support him also.
