occasionally in old houses a small

the room that the seamstress or
dressmaker occupied during her
visitations. if she eama for a week.
as was often the case. she was
quite apt to sleep there.
The difllculty in not having a
sewing-room is that it is so difficult
to establish a system whereby you

This it is well to been in mind:
You: household problems become

sistence on keeping her position
after they had been married a. whole
year worried him. - '
He was not earning very much.
but quite enough to support a wife
reasonably. and now that they had
taken the little house in the suburbs
he wanted Alice to settle down. In-
stead of which she went into town
every day, and these was always
such rush about things. They had
to scramble for their meals and
everything.
And very often he met her in
town. and they had dined there. and
sometimes went to the theater, and
that always ran away with more
than he could afford.
"It isn't as if I'd always have
fun." Alice pleaded.
Well, he had to let it go at that.
but as the weeks went by Alice grew
more and more feverish in her desire
for pleasure. When Allan remon-
strated little scenes would occur.
“But I want to go to a. dance. Al-
lan—don't stop my goin " pleaded
Alice. "It isn't as if I'd ways be

He was perplexed and baffled. It
was wholly unlike the grave and al-
most scl'ate Alice whom he had mar-
ried. '1 x hectic desire for amuse-
ment in the city. He tried to have
a serioa talk with her. and then
their 9-1"? mlsunderstdnding flamed
into a rn. ' «urn-rel.

“Only you want a slave to attend

Allan tried that. "If you must

going to take you out any more."
She flamed up at that. “I will.
then." she answered. "And I shall
go out as often as I please. I didn't

Allah said nothing. but on the
night of the dance in town Hender-
son called. looking a. little sheepish
and uneasy. It appeared he was to
escort Alice into town. Henderson
had‘been one of her been: before
they were married. The impudenee
of the thing paralysed Allan. He
watched them drive of! together in
the car.
He spent a miserable evening. For
the life of it he couldn't understand
Alice's motives. Surely she was go-
ing to settle down some time. The
hours crept by. It was midnight be-
fore he heard the car drive up to
the house.
Then came the ring at the bell.
Alice and Henderson appeared. and
after a few brief exchanges. he went
away. Alice came in.
She looked white and tired as she
faced her husband. "“‘ell, Allan,
I've had my fling; I'm willing to let-
tls down now." she said.
Something in her look alarmed
him. “‘Vhy, Alice, what is it?"
"Nothing. I—I've had my fling.
that‘s all," she said. and suddenly
burst into tears. “0h. Allan." she
whispered. as he put his arms about
her. "don't you understand? I-we
-—I'll have to kettle down now."
He was looking at her incredulous-
:y. "Alice. you never told me!"
"I was so frightened of it, Allan.
it was so strange. And then I get
desperate, somehow. I wanted to
have a. few last weeks of fun—just

1' isn't often I get a letter from a

girl. Perhaps it is because the
average one thinks himself perfect-
ly capable of conducting his love
affairs. Whether he is or isn't is
neither here nor there, though the
feminine half of my postbag reveals
a. somewhat diderent tale!
However. what he doesn't put on
paper he saves up for speech. and I
may say that when you get the
young man talking about the better
half of creation he doesn't spare the
hard words.
Indeed. I often wonder. when I
hear him on her many vices. sins

the meantime they-keep the back
curled and fluted out while the
longer front locks are rolled over the
ears and fastened beneath the fluff
of hair at the back. In England
where this long in front and short
in back has gained some vogue, they
call it wearing the hair “dangled."
A very pleasing silhouette can be
derived from bobbed hair. if the back
is cut shorter than the front and
than plastered down close to the
head while the side hair is left to
grow longer and is then curled at
the sides.
To be sure the hair is still cut
short for this arrangement. but it
is getting away from the thatched
roofed effect of which we have sur-
felted.
The woman with long hair looks
at the girl who still bobs her hair
and envies her. It seems so cool
and so convenient to be able to duck
one's head under the shower bath
without the feeling that. much time
must be spent on drying long hair
afterwards. But though bobbed hair
has some warm weather advantages
heavy hair when bobbed and allowed
to spread around one's head like the
hair of a chow dog certainly is not '
cool or comfortable. It can then for
comfort's sake be combed sleekly
