News Service. This smart afternoon frock, on the left, simu lates In Its lines the tailored suit. It is fahloned of the new supple moire relieved by a collar and vest of striped faille in. violet and maize shades. The coat is a kimono, the fullness of which is gathered up in two wide tabs crossing in the chest to form the front revors. Tho ends of these tabs are drawn round the waist to bo fastened on each aide by an embroidered button of tho same color. A basque starts under the ends of the vest on either side and finishes In a swallow-tall effect at the back. Of tho vest only tho smart lines of tho.

That reading In bed Ib bad for tho ryes has bocomittalmost a truism, partly duo to tho Puritanism existing In most of us which bids us believe that any thing very pleasant Is necessarily bnd. Most people 10e to read In bod-an un sociable habit ' which when indulged In by one member of tho family Is apt to be frowned on by the rest, nut, In truth, the only reason why roadlng In a reclining position should have bad con sequences is poor light and Incorrect habit of holding the book or paper. If the light is directed on the printed mat ter and this Is so held that tho eyes are kept wide open, no harm will result. It the light Is insufficient or badly directed and tho reading matter held so that the eyes are half closed eye strain and wrinkles will be the consequence. Eye health and eye beauty are one; what Is good for health Is good for beauty. If you feel the need for squint- jlpg. there Is something wrong with the ! iignt, or me eyes neea strengmening. Tho first step In the beautifying and 'improvement of the eyes Is to keep them 'open and not to allow the museles about ' them to relax. Look In the glass, open the eyes and draw up the musi-lea about them: the face Immediately looks younger and better, and the eyes feel better. Repeat this exercise at Intervals during the day and It will not be long before tho Improvement Is permanent. The bad effect of relaxed muscles ar shown In soveral ways; the flesh at the outer corner of tho eyes drops, fans of wrinkles form, and tho skin beneath the eyes draws up towards tho inside cor' ners, For the lines at tho outside cor ncrs I gave directions in my last leason In facial massage, but I will repeat them now. "Beginning with the left eye, place the first and second1 fingern of tho left hand one above and one below tho eye ball, slightly stretching the skin. Moisten th second finger of the right hand with reliable massage cream and, with a series of little rotary movoments, massage the Hpace between tho two fingers, Itepeat on the right side.; This Is better done at night, for the rea son that tho good effect of the Ironing out of the ekln will continue during sleep. For tho wrinkles that firm beneath the eyes, converging toward the nose, I recommend the following massage move ment: "Anoint the second finger of both hands with massage cream, place them at the corner of the eyes near the noso and move them, lightly and briskly beneath tne cytB ana towards me temples, itepeat this ten times every evening, using all the cream that the skin will absorb. In the morning bathe with cold water." (Lesson V to be continued.) "I ask you," miserably shouts Dan, "what room Betty will have for me this year? 'In the spring a young girl's fancy' so they say but it isn't true this spring. I'm ditched! She's too' busy. What with barefoot sandals and anklets, green and purple wigs, the wild, new blt-llddies, the new hair-do with a bare ear and a sidelight curl (and let me toll you this sudden bare-ear business is a shock stripped naked of its ear-muff of hair), tho dance madness 'Ho aboil die-da-da-da-da; he shall die' tho lizards and slithery things she's pasting on hor chooks, tho new veil a la mask, that's worn across nose and eyes and forelocks, tho trouser skirt and tho bustle! With all this on her mind this spring sho'H nevor have time for love! I'm crowded out." NELL BRINKLEY, r The Consolation of Clothes Advice to Lovelorn y IJEATIUCK FAIRFAX. That's No Crime.

I think an inrilference which I nin uro is feigned Is In better taste than a public display nf affection. He member, you are not engaged and any display of affection on the rart of either of you will only make you ridiculous, By ADA PATTERSON. A play occupying the stage of one nf the leading theaters In New York Is causing discussion, much of It acrimoni ous, and all of It wandering It Is an unpleasantly real istic drama whose motive is a wo- ' man's love for 'clothes, leading her Into unfaithfulness to her husband. Could a woman care so much for lne raiment that she could be In duced to dishonor a husband whom j she loved and who loved xher? New York Is asking the question and. ac- j cording to the an swer, the play goers of the metropolis are divided into two camps. One believes that no worth while woman sees clothes out of their proper ratio to her life. Others aay that the desire for adornment Is a savage element In all Wpmen, that may burst Into a passion at any moment, and that the passion may consume her honor and happiness. A liking for pretty frocks and becom ing hats and a few rare Jewels merely marks a woman normal. The woman who is without this liking lacks one of the component parts of a well balanced character, a sense of beauty. A aano admiration for beautiful clothing springs from the. same Impulse as the pleasure wa enjoy In a brilliant sunset, a purple manteled mountain, a rose garden In June, or the red and yellow blare of the woods In autumn. It Is the artist In a woman that fundamentally leads her to , study samples of the season's new shades In cloth and that keeps her long before a mirror comparing the becomlngness of 1 a largo black hat with a small blue one. Imagine a woman without the senses of i beauty and fitness good dressing dls i close and you will find a most tin 1 womanly woman, an Inhuman woman, for be sure that men, too, admire 1 pretty gowns and becoming hats, Men's ' admiration for pretty clothes are the oil poured upon the fuel of woman's so failed love of dress, for after her In- nate sense of beauty and fitness, follows , the prompting to dress well that she may please tho menfolks of her family. Rome women say they dress to please other women, but they are dissemblers. One phase of tho discussion about woman's love for clothes that has escaped the widespread argument Is that In clothes woman finds consolation. "I am never so blue but that a pretty new dress will comfort me," said an average woman In average circumstances, and because I knew her welt I knew she was speaking the truth. Why do we Instinctively send flowers to a sick room or to a person for whom wo wish to express our sympathy? Be cause we know that tho sight of their beauty will bo to some extent comfort ing. A plcturo of a landscape or a glimpse of a garden through an open window or door has soothed a burdened heart. When a thoughtful woman said to me, "There Is no condition In life which money does not ameliorate," she did not mean that money In Itself could soften grief or mend a broken heart, but that the contemplation of the rugs and draperies, the soft lights and the beau tlfully curved and shining furniture lifted the weight of the grief a hit and fur nished balm for the fractured organ. No sano person ever sees for long anything out of its right proportion. Tho beauty with which a few extra dollars may surround us In times of physical pain or mental anguish have only a transitory effect. Like laying a cool hand on an aching head, they offer brief relief. That Is all that can bo claimed for them. Hut that Is on'o of tho reasons wonim buy at times, as It seems, In sanely. One woman always goes to the shops and buys pretties C. O. I. when she has had a quarrel with her flanco. "Miss Graham must be terribly blue today, She has been buying so much," the sales girl said while I was waiting for Miss Oraham's delayed return. This Is no excuse for the vanity and selfish ness that feed tho flam of a woman's extravagance. It Is no pleu for a woman so mad aa to weigh for a second a luxu rious winter wurdrobe against a good man's love. Hut It Is a ray of light on tho darkness of tho problem so mysti fying to men f ' why women go crazy over clothes," It is lust Natural To Admire Babies Our altrustld nature Impel love for the cooing injant. And at tho same) time tho aubjecljof motherhood Is ever before us. To know what to do that will add to the physical comfort of expectant motherhood Is a subject that has Inter csted most women of all times. One) of the real helpful things is an external abdominal application sold in most drug stores under the name of "Mother's Friend." Wo hava known so many grand mothers, who in their younger days relied upon this remedy, and who recom mend It to their own daughters that it certainly must be what its name Indi cates. Thoy have used it for lta direct Influence upon the muscles, cords, liga ments and tendons as it alms to afford relief from tne strain and pain ao often unnecessarily sovere during tho period of expectancy. Every woman should mention "Mother's Friend" when the stork Is tho subject of conversation.
