There's military primness about
this stunning little suit in "soldier's
cloth," or khaki, which makes it
practical for a vacation trip on
which you expect to tramp about.
Dark green khaki cloth is used in
this model, made for a school girl.
The plainness of the Norfolk jacket
Is relieved by a smart little ripple,
and the skirt has a decided "billow'’
to It. too.
The Jacket Is stitched in black
and black buttons trim the patch
THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE I
Alice’s Story Ends.

Alice leaned forward to hear every
word of my atory. “We will let the
father say, ‘l’ll double your allow
ance ao that you can care for her
properly, if you will promise not to
marry her.' The boy will answer. T
shall marry her the moment 1 am
21. which will be In about a month.’
•’Then the father gets busy- Af
ter lending the boy west for a month
and obtaining a promise from him
that he will not write to the girl, he
baa her arrested for obtaining goods
under falie pretenses. He shows the
bills for the furnishings of the apart
ment to bolster up his esse.
“The girl confesses she bought the
goods and a ays the boy told her to
do so.
“The father mekes his esse —in
the absence of the boy—end the girl
Is sent to the house of correction,
and afterward paroled to a splendid
woman who believes In her.
“Os course, all her love for the boy
wanlsbee when she finds that she has
been left to bear this awful disgrace
alone, but she picks up her life's
threads bravely and goes to work
that she may forget.
“Time goea on end a good man
falls In love with her and asks her
to marry him.
“That Is as far as I have gone,
Pat," I said sfter a little hesitation.
“I don’t know whether to make her
tell the man before she answers him
or not. You see, her disgrace in the
courtroom was more or less public,
and if she doe* not tell him some
day someone might recognise her.'*
“Do you mean to tell me that, ac
cording to your Ideas of whst a
woman should do under these cir
cumstances, you have for a moment
harbored the thought that she should
not tell him?" asked Pat harshly.
I taw Alice cringe a little and put
her hands to her mouth to keep back
any sound.
“Now, Pat, what do you mean by
that? I want to make It completely
understood In my story that a worn
on’s past belongs to herself alone;
that she can keep It hidden or bring
It forth and exhibit It as she wishes
Do you mean to tell me that If you
were going to marry a woman you
would feel called upon to tell her
all the hidden romances of your
life, not only your sins, hut all your
little foolish mistakes? Rather
would you close your book of life
and seal Its pages, saying to your
self, ’from now on my life belongs
to her: the past Is ended’"’
Pat thought a minute, and then,
being particularly hones', said: “I
guess you are right, Margie, but
any man would hate to think that
tht woman he asks to be bit wife

leather. A nnish room hat of green

has done anything that would allow
any man. woman or child In the uni
verse to point to her with the finger
of scorn.”
“That Is Just a stab at your pride,
your egotism, my dear Pat, but It
ought not to affect your love."
Pat thought a minute and then
said. “Well, It will be a long while
before wp get to that part of your
story, and we can talk It over more
than once and so get the right psy
chology of the matter. What Is the
next episode?”
“Well, you see. Pat, It will depend
on whether the man Is ready to for
give or not, for in the case I have
cited the girl will almost have to
confess or live In torture all the
time for fear of being found out.
"What would a man do If the girl
he loved told him this story?**
“I don’t know, Margie, for I can
not conceive loving a woman who
has lived through a past of this
kind. I am sure I’d feel that some
thing was wrong even If there were
no confession.
"No woman could live through an
experience of that kind without It
leaving some Impress on her face as
well as her character."
Impulsively he turned toward
Alice.

Hr VJ JOB
By JESSIE ROBERTS
A teacher in a business college
held an Informal talk for young
women lately which I was privi
leged to attend. She had a good
deal to say about business training
and efficiency, and the sort of quali
ties that make for or against suc
cess And at the end she came out
strongly as disapproving the sort
of young woman who takes advant
age of her sex in order to slur her
work
"There are many girls who play
upon their sex In order to skimp
their work,” she said. "This Is an
unfair thing to do, and It harms us
all Many employers get to think
that they must not expect work of
as high a grade from a woman as
from a man. because they have had
so much experience in the kind of
woman who lays bark on her Jolt
and expects to he excused for it
simply because she is a woman.
"In the mere matter of prompt
ness a great many girls presume
on their sex. A young man who
was late more than once or twice a
month, would be pretty sure to get
a calling down, and a sharp one. but
a girl will continue week after week
to he from 10 minutes to a half-hour
late, nnd expect to get off with no
more than an Impatient wish on the
part of her employer that she 'could
manage to get here on time.'
"It is just because of these wom
en that women ns a whole cannot
command the same prices for work
done a men. They aren't worth It.
And thn e .that are. and who do
their work as well as a man does
his. and with no notion of presum
ing on tlieir sex as an escape from
faults or laxities, are handicapped
by the poor impression many em
ployers have received from girls in
their employ."
I don't want you to think that this
speaker didn't have a lot of nice
things to say. and that she wasn’t
proud of what women are doing.
But there is this element to be con
sidered in planning for improved
eonditions all along the line, and
It Is in the hands of every one of

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME
Granny Fox Plans Trouble for Digger.
(Copyright. ISIS, oy T. W. burgess )
By THORNTON W. BURUEBS.
As she ran swiftly down across
the Gre,en Meadows toward the
home of Digger the Badger there
was a sparkle in the eyes of Granny
F’ox. Behind her. his great voice
startling all the little people near
and causing them to hurry to places
where they would be safe and at the
same time could see what was going
on, ran Bowser the Hound, and If
you could tell anything by looks It
was very plain that Bowser had
made up his mind that this time lie
would catch Granny. But then
Bowser always does make up his
mind Just like that whenever he
starts to hunt Old Granny F'ox. The
fact that he never has caught her
doesn’t liother him at all. It seems
to simply make him the more sure
each time that this time he will be
successful.
In cool weather Granny rather en
joys these runs. She hasn’t the
least fear of Bowser, because she
has such faith in her own nimble
w’its that she knows that whenever
she gets tired she can play a trick
on him and fool him so that he will
lose her tracks. In warm weather
she does not, as a rule, enjoy a run
ahead of Bowser, but this time she
was enjoying it. which accounted
for the sparkle In her eeys. In fact,
she was chuckling as she ran.
She took pains not to get very
far ahead of Roofer. She kept only
a very little so that she
was right his eyes all the
time and he didn’t have to waste any
time picking out her trail with his
wonderful nose. You see, Granny
wanted him to run his very fastest.
She wanted Bowser to get down to
the home of Digger the Badger be
fore Digger, who was out hunting,
could get back there. It was a very
simple and a very clever plan of
Granny's. She would lead Bowser

straight to where Digger was.
When lie saw Digger he would for
get all about her and would slop to
fight Digger. Perhaps he would
kill IMgger. If he did she wouldn't
be sorry. She hadn't liked Digger
since the first time she saw him
when he came to the Green Mead
ows to live, and since the day when
he had stirred up the Bumble-bees
by robbing their home of honev
close by where she had been sit
ting, and they, in the blindness of
their anger, had stung her, she bad
fairly hated him.
As Bowser's great voice rolled
down across the Green Meadows
she saw Digger sit up that he might
better see what was going on. Then
he dropped down and started to run
towards his home. Granny almost
laughed aloud for she saw that she
and Rowser would get there long
before Digger did. You know his
legs are so short and he Is such a
heavy fellow that at his best he Is
a slow runner. Digger soon saw
that he couldn't possibly reach his
home first and, as soon as he saw
this he stopped running. Yes, sir,
he stopped running. Instead he
stretched himself out flat on the
ground. Being such a broad, flat
fellow there was nothing much of
him to see when he did this. If
you had happened along past there
while he was stretched out that way
you probably would not have seen
him at all. If you did you probably
wouldn’t have guessed that he was
anything alive. That Is Digger's
wise way of keeping out of trouble
w'hen he Is caught too far from
home to get back there safely.
Granny Fox knows all about this
trick of Digger’s. She turned up
her nose as she saw him flatten
down in the grass. ”1 wonder if he
thinks he can fool me that way,”
she muttered, scornfully. ”He may
