EARLY spring models show skirts with yoke effects, the
lower part shirred on with beading like an 1830 flounce.
The high waist so becoming to most figures will prevail.
Shantung and other silk models now forecast spring
fashions.

At this ieuen
of the year the
regulation winter

, by tha appearance
of early spring

these models. It
Is developed In
Shantung silk of
a natural color, ana
favors tha plaited
- skirt set with a
deep heading to
tha close-fitting
yoke. Following
the traditions of
the last two sea
sons, the skirt is
short and permits
.mors than a fleet
ing glance of fins
hosiery and shoes.
A belt of black
patent leather
gives character to
the ensemble. As
a matter of fact, a
touch of black or '
of seal brown is
nted to heighten
the effect of con

. tha new garments.
Tha black note Is
'duplicated in the

If You Marry a Doctor
BY A DOCTOR'S WIFE.
Some people appear to Imagine that a
doctor always marries a nurse; that ha
lives hbi private as well as his profes
sional life In an atmosphere of ointments
and bandages. It . Is not a ' bit true,
though; for my part, when I married my
husband I knew nothing1 about nursing
my husband told me that he wanted a
wife, not a medical assistant. Inci
dentally, I discovered afterwards how
little I Knew about the "inslda" life
which a doctor and a doitor's. wife
leads. Sine I married a doctor my life has
been -very happy, but alao very strenu
ous. My duties are multitudinous sad
baffle detallment. Tha housekeeping
algn is a very Important matter, for
rtMas;lng a doctor's household ' is not
quite like ordinary housekeeping. Like
all medical men my husband has very
irregular hours he may be called out at
- any time, nlaht or day. It bothered ma a
bit at first, but now I am more or lees
used to it any wsy It Is not any good
worrying or grumbling about It ' The
chief bother of It is that it means the up
setting of mealtimes I never can 'tell
whether Dick will be home for meals at
the proper time or not; but now I make
the best of things, snd ny housekeeping
arrangements do not get radically upset
by my husband's Irregularity. Meals are
always served at a regular time, but If
"the doctor" does not arrive In time, he
doos not have cold dishes afterwards my
carefully planned arrangements of boil
ing water, dlsb covers and hay boxes, en
able me to keep food Hot for him, and to
sen's his meals on a sliding time scale
whan necessary.
A remark made toy my husband before
we were married made me realise that a
she must stlffle her own feelings when
policy demands it, and on 'no account
must give any direct or Indirect stimulus
to scandal mongerlng or' gossip. It Is
rather a difficult matter to precisely de
finewhat 1 mean is. that tha woman
who -marries, a medical man, must be
careful not only to avoid gossiping her
self, but must also be careful that no
gossip takes place where she 4s. Even
though she, herself, takes no part In It,
the mere fact that she was present when
some scandal was discussed, will lead
lople to say, "Well, Mrs. Doctor was
there, so It must be right" It means
that a woman must cultivate tact and
use It for if those kind of things do
happen, they may seriously affect a doc
tor's practice. Again and again medical
men have to give up their practice sim
ply because their wives have not grasped
' what an Important thing it is for them
to play their part welL
my nusoana never niscusses his pa
tients with me, and I think that no sensi
ble womaa who marries a doctor will ex
pect this from him. For In this way. a
medical man has as many confidences be
stowod upon him as a lawyer, and his
reputation would speedily vanish If It
' discovered that he had repealed such
"onficlent-es even to his wife. That Is
why a doctor's fiance should try befora
marriage to subdue any Jealous instincts
which she may possess, and to tultivale
a very full faith and complete trust la
the man whom sh marries. It Is hardly
necessary to say that I never discuss my
husband's natlenta with other nannla .
even " my nearest friends nor do I let
otner people discuss them with me. When
conversation Begins to veer round that
way, I tactfully draw It Into other chan
nels. -
Sometimes people congratulate me upon
always "looking nioe." an, though I am
not vain, such a remark always pleases
me. Honestly, the way In which a doc
tor's wife is dressed may have a quite
large bearing upon tha condition of her
husband's practice. It sounds trivial and
impossible, perhaps, but It la true never
theless, i
It seems needful for m to enter into
tha social Ufa of the neighborhood a good
deal. My husband, of
much time for "gadding," but If he Is to
be a suocesaful doctor It Is necessary for
tha social aide of his life to looUxi
after and that is where a wife oomes In
uscrui. I find that there are endless
opportunities for me to very subtly and
tactfully "advertise" my husband when I

Why My Wife Left Me
.
: The Man Who Thought All Show
, , of Affection Ended at the Altar
Tells Ilia Story. : : : :
By DOROTHY DIX.
' "My marriage wss a failure,", said tha
second mn, "because I starved my wife
to death. Oh, not for food. I was what
the world calls a 'good provider.' I gave
my wife a fine
house to live In.
fine clothes to
wear, a fine auto
mobile to ride In
and nothing else.
"And the mater
ial things were not
enough for her, ss
they are not

held these, and she
died lust as surely
of heart hunger as
she would have
died for lack of food.
"It is a strange thing that we men are
drawn to women by certain qualities that
they possess; that wa marry them be
cause of the appeal that these qualities
make to us. and then that we treat our
wives as If they were entirely different
human beings with different attributes.
"You will see a man, for Instance,
marry a woman because of her beauty,
and then berate her for her vanity In
cherishing that beauty. Or you will see
a man marry a girl because she looks
Ilka a fashion plate, and then he wilt
Inveigh against her extravagance In want
ing fine clothes. Or a man wtU marry a
girl because she's so helpless and de
pendent aad childish, and he wll ba
bored becaas she Is not a competent,
self-reliant womau who can be a help

"I married a girl who was as shy as a
wood violet and as shrinking as a sensi
tive plant fit was a little, timid, tender
creature, who would Shiver under a hard
word aa she would have don from a
blow, aad whoa eyes would fill up with
tears at a cold look. Sh was a creature
made for love and tenderness end for
cherishing. Sh bloomed out under the
warmth of affection, and withered away
under the gray skies' of neglect
"Huch women made a far mora power
ful appeal to men than their strenuous
sisters, snd from the first minute that I
met Alioe I was mad about her. I wooed
her with as fiery a passion as any hero

lady love.' ' I overwhelmed her 'with
token of my affection. I would have
wearied her with my vows of devotion.
If women Ilka shs can aver have enough
of love. I swept her off her 'feet with
my ardor, and Into a hasty marriage ,
"And then, knowing her need of love,
knowing her need of appreciation, 'I
dropped all lovroaklng, at the altar,
and tha impassioned .'over that she had
married was metamorphosed Into the
callous and Indifferent husband, who had
apparently ceased to csre for her, or
even to notice her exoept Insofar as she
ws a part of his establishment and min
istered to hi comfort
"Looking hack over my married lit I
cannot remember that I ever told my
wtf that I loved her, or that to me she
grew eearer and dearer as the years
went on and I realised more and more
fully how rare and fin a soul she had,
I cannot recall a single time that I made
her feet that I was. doing some paitlcu
lar thing for her, just because the one
thing In tiie world that was of para
mount Importance to me was her happi
ness. ,
"I cannot rememoer that I ever paid
her even a compliment, or told her how
beautiful she was In my eyes, or how
wonderfully well I tnought sh did her
whole duty as we and mother.
"I can remer.iber now that at first
in our early years of married life, she
used to coin and nestle her fare up
against mine of an evening, begging for
a little caress as humbly ss a dog begs
for a bone, but I would carelessly push
her away and tell her not to bother me
when I wa reading the evening paper.

me If I liked the new dress or hat that

inquire ir soma dlsb at dinner was aot

"In sorrow thou Shalt bring forth. chlU

Woman is the gateway, of humanity.
Through and by her com all th cbu-
dren of men. It would seem, therefore.
If sh he compelled by no, fault of her
own to bring forth children In sorrow
and pain that a lamentable Injustice had
been done her, against which all woman'
hood might reasonably bo expected to re
bel. Those who seriously regard this prlml-.
live curse upon motherhood as operative
today welcome the "twilight sleep" ami
Its attendant painless childbirth as a be
lated gift of Ood.
Through this discovery som even
dream that paradis may be restored,
paradise where man and woman In
wedded bliss may safely and Joyously
"multiply and replenish the earth" with
out sorrow snd without shame; paradis
where inAh beginning the command was
given them when "Ood saw all that He,
had mad and behold it wo very good." 1
Others there be who-havlng no the-,
logical bias accounting for the modern
woman's growing s version to mother
hood welcome this latest gift of science '
with optimistic assurance. These denv
that if th pains of childbirth were re
moved all women would welcome mother
hood, and that the "rsc suicide croaker"
would b heard no mora In the land.
They see In this discovery but another
asset making for national perpetuity.
Upon soberer thought however. It Is
seen that these are et best but surface
conclusions, and that something otiwtr
than an Inanlmat drug however k!l.
fully compounded and administered
must he found to heal th "hurt of th
daughter t my people" lest they cry,
"Peace, peace, when there Is na peace."
.Aside from all th merits of th drug
which make th mother forgat ber pain,
aside from all the possibilities of Its
effects upon th newborn babe for good
or 111, we must not forget that after aO
It la but a druggtnr of th sensibility to
pain and not a doing away with th con
dition Itself. '
It Is after all but a mitigation rather
than a removal of the curae which at
tends children. The '.'twilight. Sleep
bears about the sain relation to pain
less birth as does th evening twllght
of a summer's day to th glories of the
corning morn! . 1
Thr Is no reason to suppose that In .
th nature t th case th bearing of
young should be attnaea itner vim
sorrow or great pain. Thar Is to evi
dence of It In the klmrdoms below man,
untouched by civilisation. Even the prim
itive human mother, allowed to1 exercle
her primitive Instinct ot virginity whlla
carrying her ehlld, bring It to birth with
little pain.
That It has become so serious an ex
perience In human civilisation bespeaks
th fact that th man has wandered far
away from th orlgti ratent or purpue
of natur la Its reproductive plan.
Humanity today Is suffering not frnm
th Imposed ' curs of an eaure-human
deity, but from a disregard of the funda-.
