Don't all her friends, all his friends, know he is wildly in love with her? Haven't they known it for ever a year? Hasa't he followed Beatrice about like a hungry dog chasing a bone ever since be first met her? I repeat, what right has he to marry Ethel Hamil ton? Why, she's a child, a silly little butterfly of fashion. Os never can love that type of woman, and you know it, Bill.” % “Yes, I know it. What do you sup- o pose poor old Oscar did it for?"

It's a mighty queer thing, Sam, how men—and women—try to prove how little they really care for the person they once professed to love so deeply by turn- ing around and marrying some one clse, How the proving of themselves fickle-minded should give them one moment's pleasure, or how, under such circumstances, they can hope for happiness passes my understand- ing. “It just gocs to show, I think, that the love such people have is very small, not the grand passion, the over- powering devotion of a great soul, as they like to imagine it is.

The Wwoman may come to love her husband it he s kind and good to her, but, as you know, S8am, no man ever gives his heart to a woman after marriage.” “You are right about that, old man! !

" COLORS SHOULD Nov. 26, 1912, BE STUDIED Selection Is of Immense Importance, Especially to the Woman of i Small Means. | —— | The value of color is something that & clever dressmaker understands fully. Two dresses can be cut alike, line for line, but in different shades of the same silk, and one of them will | make a woman look slender, straight | and supple and the other will give her an unaccountably dumpy, round- shouldered, square-cut figure, All women ought to make a careful study of colors, whether they have a ! professional interest ln the matter or not. It is especially lnwnnt for women of emall means, who have so few gowns that they must live with those of their choice very intimately. A woman who can buy twenty or thirty dresses a year can afford to make an occasional mistake when her fancy for a trying color or a too daring line carries her away for & moment. She cin hang an unsuccessful dress in a closet and forget about it, and it does her no harm—helps her, perhaps, in choosing more wisely in the future. She does mnot suffer from her folly. But a woman of small means, who meets with a mishap in the choice of her one new gown, must wear it whether or no—a harsh commentary on her vanity, her poor judgment, or ‘her bad taste, The best plan is to choose carefully and buy slowly. Borders Are Shown, Infinite is the variety of bordered stufs in black and in many colors. Crepon, which, by the way, is making its reappearance, is shown in black with velvet flowers, applique aia a deep border of toweling embroidered all over with conventional flowers. This, of course, i3 destined for after- noon toilets, and an even more orig: inal design for the same purpose is composed of blue voile with a border of rray and blue tweed—of all things (and very smart it was!)—the voile havinrg a rich flower design, very much raised as most of these patterns are. In nearly every case when a Turk- ish border is used it finishes in 2 fartasy woven in the fabrie rarely with a straight edze. Other maturials show bars of contrasted celor or em- breidery graduated in width and run- ving round a decp hem, Short Trains Worn, Many of the new evening gowns are made narrow, with short trains, the overmade showing bunches of rose leaves and forget-me-nots in their de- sizns and come up high above the waistline, the back arranged with double box plaits, left unconfined and flowing, the hizh-waisted bodice hav- Ing » girdle and a fichu of black mous- seline elze with a white lace forming a V in front caught up to the girdle with a cameo.
