It was the boast of fine ladies cen- turies ago that their clothes weighed %0 much that they were actually fatigued threugh the wearing of them. Train bearers were necessary followers of queens and other ladies whose rank permitted them to wear costly clothes of rich, heavy fabrics. But fine rai- LIGHT AS THISTLEDOW FROCK OF PALE GREEN TULLE TRIMMED WITH CHIFFON FLOWERS WITH GREEN FEATH- ER LEAVES. 18 THIS ment is no longer valued by its avoir- dupois. Fine feathers are of feather lightness and “thistledown" is a word frequently used in connection with many of the new frocks designed for Spring and the coming Summer. Even woolen frocks must be very light in weight, and the makers of fabrics have been busy devising ways of mak- ing woolen materials that are scarcely heavier than chiffon or georgette. Beads, spangles and metal embroidery sometimes add some weight to eve- ning frocks, but there is a tendency at present to use even these trimmings sparingly, and a reaction has certainly set in against the frock upon which these rather weighty ornaments have been spread with barbaric lavishness. Many of the Spring evening frocks are made entirely of georgette or chif- fon. When head embroidery Is used {it is wrought with sxmail pearls and {erystals of the lightest sort. There {may be an effective pearl embroidery about the lower edge of the skirt. One clever Spring evening frock from Paris is made with a sort of under frock of vellow chiffon cut in petal points about the bottom.

Well, today 1 had to make good on my promise to buy myself some new clothes so Joan will think I look as Upholds Cause of Hushands | Uniustly Divorced Quitter LDorothyl)zx Slacker Wife Who Gets Divorce Without Just| Cause and Compels Man to Pay Alimony Is Slickest of Swindlers. WOMAN who was free, white and 21 and of sound mind got married. She married of her own volition and picked out her husband for herself. No force, either open or secret, was used to induce her to enter into the holy estage. She was neither overpersuaded by an ardent lover nor forced into it by tyrannical and sordid parents. She was absolutely a free agent in the matter. The man the woman married was of the very highest type of manhood. He was moral, cultured, refined, kind, tender and generous. In every sense of the word a gentleman. He adored his wife and lavished upon her the most exquisite consideration. He was well off and provided her with a good home, and not only the comforts but the Juxuries of life. T'wo children were born of this mar ge, their father loves them dearly and in their companionship he finds infinite j For he is one of the men in whom the paternal instinet is very strong, and his happiness is bound up in his Itamu.v and his home. But now the woman has decided, that she is tired of married life, and aweary of her husband and that she wants to be free. Shé does not even claim that she has any griev. against_her hushand, or that he has failed her in any way. On the cont she declares that he is the best man in the world, that he has been goodness itself to her, and that she has the highest respect for him. . The only thing that has happened is that she has, somehow, lost her taste for him. He no longer thrills her. Her love for him has cooled down from the boiling point to the lukewarm state, and so she wants him to give her a divorce. = e e . HE doesn’'t want to give up her children. however. She still loves her little boy and girl and does not want to be parted from them, and as she has | no money of her own and knows no way of making a dollar, she expects her hushand to continue to support her and the children apart from himself. And because a decent man doesn’t want to compel a woman to live with him against her will, the chances are that she will get away with her out rageous hold-up. Plenty of other women have done 80, and plenty of men are toiling to support quitter wives, who reneged on their matrimonial vows, for no other reason than they got bored, and it was pleasanter to collect alimony than it was to do housework. If you should tell these women that they are yellow to their backbones, that they are slackers, that they are heartless thieves and robbers. they would be highly indignant, vet it would be no more than the bare truth. No confidence artist ever pulled off a slicker swindle than is perpetrated by the woman who uses a temporary marriage with a man to make him permanently support her. Nor has the green-goods man who sells counterfeit money any- thing in chicanery on the woman who leads a man on into matrimony in the belief that he going to get a hundred per cent dividend on his investment, but who defaults and skips out with the cash when the time comes for them to make a payment. The alibi of these women is that they were mistaken in their feelings when they got married. What they thought was the grand passion turned out to be a passing fancy. They've got tired of their hushands and instead of a plain business man they desire a romantic sheik. They find domesticity monotonous and yearn for sensations and heart throbs. They are tired of get- ting three meals.a day and seeing the same face 365 times a year across the table, and they crave adventure and change and freedom. And it never occurs to them that because you get tired of a contract and it isn't as alluring from the inside as it looked from the outside, you are not justified in chucking it. and that this holds true of marriage just as much as is does of a business venture. Their part of the matrimonial hargain was to make their husbands good, comfortable homes, and so long as their husbands do their part and are faithful and kind and considerate, the wives have no more right to welch on their contract than they would on any other kind of a trade. Thrills and pal- pitations have néthing to do with the matter. It's a plain case of honor and duty and living up to your obligations. | . INOR do these disgruntied wives of good husbands consider the fiendish cruelty of not only breaking up a man’s home but robbing him of his children. They act is if mother-love was the sole parental passion. They would shriek to high heaven against the injustice of it if their husbands, without cause or reason, snatched their babies out of their arms, but they give no thought to the father who has his little ones taken away from him. WEH e e T Yet there are thousands upon thousands of men who love their children far hetter than the mothers do, who sacrifice more for them, and who get far more joy out of them. And to rob these fathers of their children is to take away from them everything that makes life worth living. Callous selfishness finds its ultimate expression in the woman who, to gratify her own whim and to secure what she believes her own happiness, breaks up a home-loving | man’s home and sends him out alone and desolate with empty srms that ache for the little forms that used to nestle in them. And that these women who have thrown down theid jobs and quit cold, who have defrauded the men they married, should still demand that their { hushands continue to support them is the most sublime exhibition of nerve in the world! 1t is because women know that the courts will give them their children, unless they are conspicuously unfit to have them, and because the father will be compelied to support the children, that so many women who are slackers and grafters break up their homes and leave their husbands for no cause at all, except that they are whimsical and discontented. If these slacker wives knew that a worthy father could keep his children, and that they would have to hustle out and support themselves, they would stick to the good things they have. Alimony is first aid to divorce. Which is a thing divorce court judges would do well to bear in mind. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1927.) Orange Cake Fillirg.

Who would not wish their own to be as clean, as daz- zling, and as white? Yet such a wish can easily come true. With the simple evety-day magic of Colgate’s dual clean- ness, teeth are made to gleam and shine. Dual Cleansing Action Modern mouth hygiene de- mands a dentifrice with a dual cleansing action. Col- gate’s formula is based on this principle. As you brush, Colgate’s expands into a [e————————— [aNeteman plentiful, bubbling foam. First, this foam loosens im- bedded food particles and polishes all tooth surfaces. Then it thoroughly washes the entire mouth—teeth, gums, tongue — sweeping away all impurities. Thus the dual action of Colgate’s brings unequaled cleanness; removes the causes of decay. If your teeth are normally healthy, you can best keep them so through cleanness— plus regular visits to your dentist.
