The Question of Normal Girdle
Line or Low Girdle Line is
Sometimes Settled by No Girdle
At All. .
FRIEND in Paris who has
watched the development
of fashions for autumn
there writes to assure us that the
bolt and girdle has not entirely
disappeared from off the face of
the earth of fashion.‘ You can
still find frocks with some sort of
a ceinture if you search long
enough for them. And this as
well as anything else gives us an
idea. of what a widespread fashion
the beltless frock really has be-
come.
Sometimes the belt lingers, like
one’s appendix or wisdom teeth,
merely as a vestige. Sometimes
it is develOped at back but not at
front—and in rare instances at
front but not at back. Sometimes
there is a bit of an application at
either side that might be regarded
as a vestigial belt.
But don't imagine that beltiess-
ness or girdlelessness means

and narrow with no revelation of
the waist save with the turning

a slip of gray crepe do chine which
shows where the skirt is slit.
Then there are sheaths that are

takes the form of a sheath with

house is large enough for two
housewives. Two women who
might continue to be on the best of
terms under ordinary circumstances
would soon find cause for disagree-
ment if they found themselves shar-

that a woman and her (laughter-in-

a. little less difficult where a mother
and a daughter work together in ilk

BY giving heed to the behavior
of the people upon whom the
world looks with more than
ordinary admiration and respect,
you will find that they make a prac-
tice of avoiding contention.
The excellence of such people,
especially in troublesome times,
exerts great influence for good, not
only in their own home-sphere. but
in their community. In some dis-
turbing stresses and upheavals of
unruly passion their quieting im-
portance is felt in all parts of the
earth. sometimes scattering the
threatening storms of anger and
flooding the sky with the sunshine
of peace.
The contentious, the tattlers, the
backbiters, the ill-humored. and
those given to despicable acts and
unpardonable words. fail at once
into the line of trouble-makers.

tion by imperious leaders.
Occasionally it happens that some
of the more sensitive of these con-
tending spirits suffer unspeakable
mental tortures for their sins.
If the injured ones could at this
moment read their defamer‘s heart,
they would understand and pardon.
But hearts cannot be showu, nor can

Avoiding Contention

The heart ofia child is glimpsed in

but the heart of an adult. with its
elusive cunning and wile, defies the
most searching eye. It is difficult to
guess whether such a heart carries
a sword or wears a branch from the
olive tree.
The chances are that it is beliger-
out, bellicose and warlike. biding its
time to strike. though masked in
tranquility, delighted with its abili-
ty to keep its friends or enemies
guessing as to what it may do next.
It is distressing to contemplate
that mischievous beings in human
flesh are all around us, ever ready
to quarrel, seeking to yiake their
deadly thrusts in the dark, for the
mere gratification they derive from
making souls miserable. '
The contending spirit, you will
observe, is usually one that has be-
come so from habitual agonism and
a disposition to wage war in tor-
menting words. By avoiding argu-
ment and the ventilation of opinion
with such a person one can essil!

agree. They were the type of peo-.
ple \vho ought never to have mar—5
rind. That was what the trouble'
was.
They had loved each other in the’
beginning, and at first they had
striven on hard to come to some sort
but when they
found that was impossible they had
ceased to care, and had gone on
their way to bland indifference to
each other. Sometimes Kemble had
wondered whether May “£35 capable

the sight of it struck him queerlyw

ture looked strange, and he watched
May as if she had been a. strange
woman.
"Did yOu see the doctor, How—

He nodded.

“Oh. nothing much."

he wondered what she would do iig

leave her comfortably provided for.
Probably she would marry again
very speedily. Some man would
marry her for her money. And
then, probably, May would realize
that he had not been quite such a
brute after all.
1
Had it been disappointment that
he Was going to get well after all?
During the following days the con-
straint between them seemed to
deepen. Once or twice The Brute
caught sight of tear stains on May's
ace. He was sorry, for he was real-
ly a soft-hearted brute. though May
had never realized that. She had
never tried to understand him.
How did it come about that May
left that letter she had been writing
unsealed? She trusted The Brute!
That thought flashed through his
mind and made him proud. She
trusted him not to read the un-
sealed noie lying in her blotting pan
when she had gone out shopping
She did not think him a dishonor-
table brute. then—simply a brute.
And if he read it, it was only be—
? cause just now he felt an over-
frvhclming desire to know something
:mnre of the workings of May's mind.
That iustified him in his own as he
drew the letter out of its enclosure.
But the reading of its came to The
Brute as a staggering shock. It
was, in fact. a love letter, and writ-
ten to a man whom The Brute knew
very well. It was written to Bramp-
ton. But it had never entered his
mind that May and Brampton could
possibly be in love With each other.
“And so, darling," The Brute read,
"there seems no chance of future
happiness for us. His illness. on
which we built such hopes. in not a
serious one. He and I will continue
to live together. and quarrel with
each other—you know what I. bruite
he is—and we shall grow old. and
faded, and you and I can never be
anything more to each other than
we are now. It breaks my heart,
dearest. in have a. write to you like
this, but there you are!"
The Brute put the missive care-
fully bnck in its enclosure and stood
for a while in thought. He felt
strangely happy to think that May
had found some one whom she could
love. He was happy that she had
that need of love. He looked out of
the Window and saw her coming up
the street. She looked attractive,
she wasstill in her prime; yes, she
and Brampton could be very happy
together. .
And The Brute rejoiced with all
his heart that he had not told her,
that he would never tell her that the
specialist had given him two months
of life and then a sudden death
Dont’ If You Are Rich
E there are diniculties—as the
good book says—for the rich man
in entering the kingdom of
heaven, unknown to the man who
has no wealth, then surely there are
snares and pitfalls in the way of at-
taini good manners and perfect
courtesy that stand in the way of
the person of wealth, especially new-
ly acquired wealth, that are never
known to those in humbler circum-
stances.
Don't tell how much you paid for
things. Tireaome enough is to listen
to the person of moderate means
recount prices, but it is usually in-
sufferable to hear your rich friend
digress on prices.
Especially avoid speaking of your
acquaintances as “s. wealthy friend
of mine” or 9‘s. friend of mine in re-
duwd circumstances," or in any way
that should indicate that you had
your friends catalogued according to
days—and increased wealth wm
bring friends of means.
One of the pltfalls that lie in the
way of newly rich consists 'of lavish
display in entertaining. Remember
that the best form in entertaining
clings to'thnt/ which is conventional
and conservative. The hostess who
has always had ample means may
be able to “get away” with freakish
entertaining. but if you attunpt it
you will be laughed , at? Avoid
fruits out of season at your dinner
parties and various viands that are
rare and extremely costly.
Don't talk about your mil.
The person still self—conscious over
newly acquired wealth is My
tempted frequently to mention “my
chauffeur.“ or “my wife's M
maid," or “one of my stable bun?
