WILL MONOPOLY OF A MAN
HEAD OFF ALL COMPETITION?
By DOROTHY DIX.
The Rev. Dr. Talmage once told his
congregation that nine-tenths of all
divorces are due to the temptations of the
summer vacation, and he warned -women
not to go off on a summer vacation
unless they were willing to risk losing
their husbands
Is Dr. Talmago right or wrong? Does
the summer vacation promote domestic
felicity, or Is It the first aid to the divorce
court?
Is a woman more sure of being In a
man's thoughts when she Is so directly
under his eye that It Is physically im
possible to forget her. or does he think
most tenderly of her when she Is far
away, and her remoteness makes a trans
figuring haze that magnifies her charms
and conceals her faults?
Should a wife. In particular, who de
Elres to retain her husband's affection,
give him her society In allopathic or
homeopathic doses?
Ttvo Views, About Husbands.
This Is a problem concerning which
there Is a great diversity of opinion In
feminine circles. Some -women contend
that, as man Is but a creature of habit
and Imperfectly domesticated at best. It
Is never safe to let him quit eating out
of your hand, while other women hold
that more love Is bored to death than
Is killed In any other way.
And both of these opposite theories
have a certain degree of right on their
side.
We all admit that propinquity is the
great match-maker, and If It Is so valu
able In catching a man It should be
equally useful In holding him. The wo
men who subscribe to this belief are
those who never leae their husbands
for a single day, and Insist upon sharing
all of their work and pleasure Theirs
is the matrimonial trust spirit to estab
lish such an Iron-bound monopoly over
a man that It will head off all competi
tion. It cannot be denied that there Is much
to be said In support of this view of the
situation There is nothing for keeping
a man home of evenings like knowing
he has to render an account of himself
If he Is absent, and the fear of his wife
Is the beginning of virtue In more hus
bands than we wot of.
Lor Can Die of Ennui.
Not all of the arguments, however, are
on the side of those who contend that
lovo must bo alwajs a personally con
ducted excursion; for If love can die of
loneliness In the absence of Its beloved,
it is equally susceptible to the blight
ing Influence of ennui, and the deadest
dead love in the world is that which has
yawned Itself into the grave.
In married life there can be no gain
Baying the fact that the majority of peo
ple quarrel because they see too much
of each other, and thus get on each otn
er's nerves If most couples were only
married three days a week, Instead of
ecven. there would be fewer divorces.
The great tragedy of absence between
married people Is when they must be
parted for a long time. Then the Inev

which sounds perhaps easier than any
other number of the puzzle. Since there
are several undeniable things on a stamp
that might answer this number few have

Let no one be discouraged on account
of these things however, for It Is quite
possible that no one will get the little
puzzle solved in its entirety. Although it
Is simple, there are some numbers which
might be answered by several things
found on a 2-cent stamp, which Intro

the puzzle interesting

At a house which bears a rather excep

a much more expensive coat for 20.

itable changes that are always taking
place in character go on. One goes for-
,ward and one goes backward: for it
rarely happens that two people who are
apart keep the same step.
Ufe has no bitterer moment than that
which reunites many a couple after u
long absence and shows them, disillusion

If they had remained together, they
would not have noticed the little changes
In each other; but when they meet aftei
the separation of a jear they see the
difference, little weaknesses, little pecu
liarities, little narrownesses, little defects
that grate and that slay love.
All of which goes to show that in ab
sence safety lies in the golden mean, a
little of it makes the heart grow fonder,
but too much is fatal.
Absence should be taken Intermittently

JAP KIMONO COAT
IS NEWEST STYLE
Made in Simple Lines of Ex
pensive Materials.
Now come some very fantastic Japa
nese coat fashions. Their materials are
expensive, It Is true, nut many of them
are made on the simplest kimono lines
and can be copied easily by the woman
who has taste and an old kimono for
model, even If she has but very little
Bklll with the needle.
A coat, for instance, which In chiffon
can be used either as a tea gown or In
satin or etamlne for afternoon or even
ing wear on the street, is made In this
very simple fashion.
A straight length of very wide material
is used. When folded in half It should
fall from the shoulder as far down as
the coat Is to reach.
Silt Up tbe Middle.
The front breadth Is slit up the middle
and the silt extends a little way down
the back to form the back of the neck.
It can be left V shape or be rounded out
In the back, according to the trimming
to bo used.
The selvage or outer edge of the ma
terial Is turned back several times to
form a cuff for the sleeve, and the two
sides of the material are tacked together
below the space allowed for the arm to
come through.
The bottom of the coat Is hemmed and
can be embroidered or trimmed with one
of the band embroideries. A band of em
broidery or a bios band of satin can be
used for the neck and the front trim
ming. The coat should fasten in front with
frogs of gold braid or ribbon or braid or

with plain tailored coat sleeves.
One particularly good model is a lone,

Daily Fashion Talk for Herald Readers
Combination Illustrated Insures
Flatness Around the Hips, With
Neither Lines Nor Wrinkles.
It Is a Very Satisfactory Model
for Every Woman.
In making the dresses of the present time the
main consideration is the preservation of the slender,
youthful outline which fashion has decreed shall be
retained. This cannot be done if the underwear is
at all bulky, and it has been found that the use of
the combination style of underwear is a great help
in reducing the amount of material which must
be covered by the outer garment.
Of course, the arrival -of summer means also
that sheer materials will be used to the exclusion of
nearly all others, at least in all dresses except the
plain tailor-made styles. This makes the demand
for compact underwear insistent, and it is impossi
ble to be well dressed without giving this point due
consideration.
Many of the newer garments are cut in a single
piece, and for these there is no material quite equal
to embroidered flouncing. Manufacturers are mak
ing it in many different widths with the same pat
tern adapted to them, and in this manner we can
purchase the narrow flouncing for the corset covers
which we make, while wider pieces are obtainable
for the petticoats and drawers.
Colored Underwear Pretty.
The liking for underwear madeof colored ma
terials adds a very pretty note to the outfit for sum
mer wear. The dainty pink and blue and lilac flower
designs which are found in organdie are often used,
and the silk and cotton mixtures in delicate color
ings take their turn as well.
All materials, whether white or colored, are very
elaborately trimmed or embroidered. The idea of
flatness is always borne in mind, however, and the
edgings are put on flat, and any quantity of inser
tions are used. Ribbon, beading, inserted medal
lions, and, of course, the loveliest of hand work are
all pressed into the service of the wearer of dainty
underwear.
Take for example the combination shown in the
accompanying illustration. It is certainly charming
just as shown, made of wide flouncing, the corset
cover seamed down the center of the back, to insure
flatness here, and allowed a very little fullness in
front. The deep yoke gives absolute plainness
around the hips, and the fact that the flouncing is
attached with pleats instead of gathers means that
there will be no lines or wrinkles anywhere.
Pattern 4914 is cut in sizes 32 to 44 inches bust
measure. The above pattern can be obtained by
sending 10 cents to the office of The Washington
Herald.

Marion.
For the moment her
mother did not answer and
again came the sweet little
song, somewhere high up from
the great elm tree just across
the street, from Marion's pi
azza. "What is it?" asked Marion
again, as she rose from her lit
tle rocking chair and went
close to the piazza rail.
"Why, it is the robin red
breast singing to the rain," an
swered her mother.
"To the rain?" questioned
Marion, wrinkling up her nose
in a perplexed sort of way.
Yes, answered her motner.
And then Marion, drawing her chair
up close, listened in wonderment at the
wonderful story. v
"You see," began her mother, "the
grass and all the growing things live
very close to the ground, and during
long stretches of dry weather they suf-

the rain lives as possibly could be, and
so, of course, when they wish to talk

someone who has the power to get
nearer the sky.
"And so the robin does it for them,"
interrupted Marion.

NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT
BY WASHINGTON WOMEN
By JULIA CHANDLER MANZ.
So great Is the demand for novel was
of entertaining, particularly by those good
patient women who plan . all sorts of
functions to raise church funds, that I
am confident a unique affair that was
given last week In Washington will meet
with both appreciation and Imitation.
A Journey through Holland, Greece,
Spain, and Italy was arranged by the
ladles of Waugh Church, the cost of
which to each voyager was 35 cents. This
price Included transportation and enter
tainment In each country visited, which
was a remarkably low figure.
Ticket holders assembled at the ap
pointed hour at the church, where sight
seeing cars awaited them.
This trip abroad was made In automo
biles, and four countries were visited In
the space of three hours.

SKIN DISEASES OF DOGS ARE
OFTEN CAUSED BY OVERFEEDING
By EDWARD 9. SCHMID.
Noncontagious skin diseases are usual
ly caused by overfeeding and want of
exercise, or. paradoxical as It may seem,
by poor or unsuitable food and general
neglect. The disease Is a blod complaint,
resulting from the assimilative organs
not fulfilling their functions.
Surfeit.
This may affect any part of the body:
the skin is first Inflamed In patches
ehowing In white dogs almost a scarlet
redness through the coat: a sticky exuda
tion Is given off from the skin and forms
into scabs; these scabs fall off. takltit,
the hair with them, leaving the skin
In a red. Inflamed state.
To Trent Surfeit.
First give a dose of saline purgative
medicine, such as Epsom salts, the dose
being from one drachm to one ounce,
according to the size of the dog; this
medicine should be dissolved in hot
water, but not given until cold. To the
sore places an eczema cure should b
freely applied twice or thrice a day. as
it removes Irritation, which at times Is
very great, and assists the healing of
the part.
A dose of aperient biscuits every thira
day will In these cases exercise a bene
ficial effect Sometimes, as an alterna
tive, a little oil of tar may be appllea
with a flannel. This should be repeated
every day for two or three days, or until
the part Is healed.
Dogs affected with this complaint must
be allowed variety In their diet, which
should consist of flbrine biscuits, oat
meal, or rice and vegetables mixed with
some gravy or soup.

represented Holland, the first country
to be visited by the sight-seers. The
guests arriving In the automobiles were
received by Mrs. W. H. De Shields and
her assistants, all of whom were gowned
In the national costumes of the Nether
lands. The walls were decorated with pictures
of Dutch boys and girls and flags.
During the refreshments of pretzels ana
Iced tea the party took as Its subject of
conversation the country being visited,
which, with the Dutch decorations and
characteristic refreshments, made the
scene very real and interesting.
No Consideration for Distance.
Having no consideration for distance to
be traversed, the tourists sped away In
the big sight-seeing cars to the home of
Mrs. A. H. Thompson, which, for the oc
casion, was Greece.
Here again suitable refreshments were
served,' and the home visited was trans
formed Into the country It was represent
ing, the tourists entering the spirit of the
artistic little country as soon as they
were admlted to Mrs. Thompson's home,
where Greek statues pleased the eye, and
many pictures of Grecian ruins helped
to carry out the Idea.
From Greece the party went to Italy,
represented for the day In the home ofi
Mrs. Stratton, In Massachusetts avenue. "
An organ grinder and monkey furnished
a typical Italian entertainment, while
the travelers were served with such Ital
ian refreshment as spaghetti, and talked
of the old and the new Italy.
From Italy to Spain was but a de
lightful few minutes ride, where Spanish
girls gave a tambourine drill, and where
olives and saltines were tendered the
globe trotters. In the home of Mrs. Hardy.
Souvenirs Are Given.
Souvenirs of each country were given
the travelers, and after the Journey was
at an end they returned to America,
which was represented in the church,
where they had refreshments typical of
America. Ice cream and cake. Here the
travelers discussed at leisure the pleas
ure of visiting Europe In an automobile
for the sum of 35 cents.
When news of this entertainment reach
ed Holland, the conductors of the party
received a cablegram of thanks for the
compliment paid the Queen of that coun
try. The touring Europe entertainment was
one of the most successful and unique
ever glen In Washington, and the ladles
of Waugh Church declare that they
could have had as many to Join the party
as they could have furnished transpor
tation for had they advertised the affair
beyond their own church circle.
It is certain that they might have made
a. larger charge for so great a variety of
- - - -- --- .i i.. ikr
entertainment as they furnished without
hearing any mumbling from the travel
ers. Where the touring Europe plan Is tried
in churches of small towns I would sug
gest that other means of conveyance
could be used with as much success as
the automobiles were used here.
the dog; with half the quantity of cream
of tartar, may be mixed with the food
every morning.
Dob; Should Be Exercised.
The dog should' be given plenty or
exercise. In some chronic cases of
eczema1, when the treatment above Indi
cated does not prove effective, a course
of tonic should be given. An alterna
tive treatment Is the following:
Quinine bisulp 13 gr.
Tlnct. gent 6 dr.
Sirup orange 6 dr.
Dilute sulph. add 10 minims.
Dose One teaspoonful per 20 lbs. of
weight of dog.
A little meat may be added to the bis
cuit, which should be given broken up
small and soaked in soup. In some cases
which have been standing a long time
