Many men are, ‘er, shall I not write, stodgy. They settle down into a rut. A man cannot un- derstand what it means to a woman to wake up one morning and soo her life running away and leaving her high and dry like a fish a mud flat. She wants- goodness, what dous she want? A littlo oxcitement now and again.

The spilrweb motifs in the large size on this white organdie frock are of black ribbon, fan -- goted with bicle milk, and the smaller ones are nirelva of black silk embroidered in white. The dress is worn orer a plain slip of white orgundie and with a large white sun hot with a black border. Verpheavy black cortled ribbon is used for the sash.
