MY HUSBAND’S LGVE [ISewingCollar toNeck Edge RevealsSkill , DAILY FASHION SENVICR Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Astonishing Offer Mrs, Marks Made Madge Dicky often teasingly tells me that 1 strongly resemble the Rritish sol. dier who never knows when he Is licked, But 1 accepted defeat unque tioningly at the hands of the little tallor to whom 1 had brought my husband's evening clothes for press ing an hoyr later than the time the man had agreed to do the work, True, T went through the usuml formula to satisfy my conscience that 1 had done everything possible to-ac- complish Dicky's errand, 1 pleaded my bad train connections and the traffic jam, and offered to double his price if he only would do the work, But I knew well when T began a8 when I finished that I might well have saved my breath, for I recog- nized his type, An efticlent workman, D he prided himself upon being ab.

He turned his back on me Inso- lently with his final negative, and fairly trembling between anger at him and fear that I would fall Dicky, 1 hurried out of the shop. Madge Is Worried, If it had been an ordinary oe- caslon, an affair for pleasure only to which Dicky was bidden, 1 would not have been 8o concerned al- though of course, I would have put forth every effort to arrange things for him. But after his frantic sum- mons of me over the telephone when He returned to the apartment had realized that the affair to which he was going was one that I mis- takenly had thought was to take place the week following. . It was a banquet to a famous Eng- lish illustrator, and Dicky was to make one of his after-dinner speeches, It was unthinkable that because of my mistake, innocent though it:was, he might be compelled to stay at home, for I knew that fastidious Dicky would never appear at the function unless correctly arrayed in his own clothes. “Excuse Me, Dearie.” Where could I find another tailor? This was ‘my first thought. Then, remembering Dicky's tirade against a man who almost had ruined his clothes upon one occasion. I hesi- tated, fearing to make matters worse by taking them to any shop whose work I did fot know. Besides. I had no time to wander around, hunt- ing tailor shops of whose location I had no idea. With the vague plan of hunting frantically through the telephone classified advertisement book, and then rushing by taxi to the ghop, if T should be fortunate enough to find a man consenting to do the work. I hurried back to the apart- ment. I had telephoned three different shops, only to be met with refusals more or less courteous, and with a despairing glance at my watch, was esgsaying the fourth, when an im- perative knock sounded on my door. With an impatient exclamation, I hung up the receiver, and hurrying to the door, threw it open.

A few months ago, without any heralding or advertising of any sort, a little girl dropped into the Blank Moving Picture Studio. She was of French descent, and while she was vivacious and smiling, she had a trick of looking very pensive and sad when she thought no one was observing her.

Sept, 10, “The size and shape of the corona,” Prof. Frost declared, "varies from one eclipse to another, apparently changing with the 11-year cycle of the sun’'s activity, At present the sun is approaching its state of mini- mum activity, sun-spots being now very rare and small and the eruptions !ur prominences seen with the spec- | troscope at the sun's edge are few and comparatively low. This means | that they are not often seen this year rising to a height of over 40,000 or | 80,000 miles!

President Harding was able, with« out straining his voice, to make him- | self heard to thousands surrounding the observation end of his car.
