DEAR MRS. THOMPSON : I am
an ell enduring man, but there is
one thin;, that gets my goat. I
don't mind kimonos or house dresses or
anything like that, but when my wife
conies to Sunday dinner in a bedroom
cap that is a little too much.
She wears the cap every morning at
breakfast and I object, because she cer
tainly looks anything but attractive in
lt. I have told hc.r how I feel about the
mi'.iter and it doesn't do any good. I
don't want to hurt her feelings, because
he is a very blisy little wife and I can
ice that she doesn't have time for every
thing. 1 just wish that she would
neglect some of the other things and
Comb her hair. Can you suggest any
thing? HOP.
One man cured his wife of wearing
a cap by putting on his hat every time
he wore her cap. It was a humorous
av to show her how he felt and it did
Bot hurt her feelings. The man had to
wear his hat to Sunday dinner as well
as to breakfast, and so you are not the
only man who suffers.
fear Mrs. Thompson : Do you think
a young man cares for a girl if lie
makes a date for a certain night and
then fails to come and has no reason
Hhy? THANK YOU.
If he eared very much for the girl
he would keep his engagi-menl. Such

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
flamed about twelve years. Heing
rery young when I married, I am not
JO yel. My husband anil I have al
ways been happy. We have three chil
dren who are the heart of our home, but
there is another woman who is stealing
fiy husband's affections, lie has her
ticture and cards, which lie carries in
lis pocket. She is not mi good hiok
fig and I really don't understand why
t cares for her. She too is married
tnd husband is a seargeant. My hits
Vand" sees her very often. Still
le is good to me and I cannot find it
ri my heart to quarrel with him. He
loes not know that I ever think of such
1imgi. 1 would not like to do any-
finR that would be unwise because
don't want our home to be broken
tp. Please tell me what to do?
HIDDEN TROUBLES.
I don't believe that your husband
wall lovef the other woman. He is
rrobably enjoying a mild flirtation,
vhich of course, is not honorable.
But yon should not worry yet. I think
ton are justified in ha ing a talk with
poor husband and asking him to dis
Continue his relationship with the other
Woman. For the sake of you and his
Children he should he careful of hit
tame. Talk to your husband some
time when you are not jealous and when
you will not show too much feeling. Al
ways remember that, the mother of a

and it Is difficult for another woman to

NEW YORK.-Whcre have all the
top coats gone? They appear to
have been shelved with the
winter. Lor four yeais, the, spring has
brought out a galaxy of vari-colored
coats intended for warmth, for gayety
and for service. This season, they are
not seen, and in their place appear
rapes in every shape that the designers
can devise and in all the colors and
materials that can be found , in the
limited supply that the world prodtnes
Half the shabby gowns of last
autumn are redeemed by glowing
rapes. Evening frocks have been
stripped of their worn and failed tinsel
and appear bravely and courageously
as something new, with a tulle or a
chiffon cape swinging away from the
neckline.

background grew more voluminous. It
is ever the way with women and their
fashions. In developing the cape and
reducing the gown, no harm was done
to soldiers or sailors, to government
or to shops. It was merely a woman's
way of balancing the proportions of
her costume. She was quite willing to
conserve material on the actual suit
or gown that covered her IhwIv, but,
with that whimsicality which is shown
throrigh centuries of fashion, she im
mediately enveloped herself in the
wings of a butterfly the cape of an
aviator, the voluminous sleeves of the
middle ages.
She was not willing to appear at
tenuated unless she had a contrasting
silhouette, an artificial one, against
her own. She realized that the old
stage trick of enveloping a thinly clad
figure in fold upon fold of transparent
masterial, is as substantially artistic

tion. Taffeta Finds a New Niche.
No one knows why Erance and
America unrolled bolts of taffeta for
women's costnmery this spring, unless
it was for the purpose of conserving
oilier fabrics more difficult to get.
Whatever the object in view, the
women would nut have taffeta, except
f'T an occasional evening frock; but
tiny suddenly came to the conclusion
that the material was enchanting as
a background. Therefore, they adopted
it for capes.
Two years ago, taffeta capes were
offered by Fiance every month of the
year, and they were only taken up here
and there in isolated segments of so
ciety. Today, taffeta is chosen for the
morning, the afternoon and the eve
ning tape. Its coloring is soft, its
threads are light, and it provides ex-
.ully the right covering needed by the
American women.
The sketch shows a street cape worn
in the afternoon with one of those
deeply decollete frocks that women
have elected to wear after 3 in the
afternoon, because they may continue
wearing them until 12 at night.
This tape is of biscuit-colored chif
fon taffeta, with an immense collar in
a darker shade of the material. I here
are rows of shirring to form a shoulder
yoke, and the cape, while short in
Mont, dips to a point in the back that
touches the hem of the skirt. The
method of tieing the huge collar across
the neck with an immense Alsatian
bow of biscuit and green, is worthy
of imitation.

IF HI IS TURNING
', USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Rec
ipe to Darken and Beau
tify Faded Hair.
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only lie had by brewing
a mixture 'of Sage 'i'ja and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and Sulphur -enhancVs its
appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe im
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
cints at a small cost, all ready
for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always he
depended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it dark-
ens so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell It has hern applied. ou simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through the hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair has disapjieared, and after
another application it becomes beauti
fully dark and appears glossy and lus
trous. This ready to me preparation Is
a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and a youthful
appearance. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease. (Adv )
