Colors chosen should be solid so as not to break the figure and thus make it look shorter. I f there's a desire for some decoration, you can get this In neatly by choosing a suit that is ruffled in a contrast ing color on the bodice and on the skirt. Mature figures show off to best advantage, not in a full skirted suit but in a fitted suit, preferably wool.

Y oked Beauty for Sub- T eener s Princess Style Hull Also F avo re d r»T AM 3C, widowed and with three * children, girls 12 and 7 and a boy of 10. My 12 years of m ar ried life were ideal. Gene left me comfortable and the children are fine specimens. My mother died five months ago. and since then I have been bitterly lonely. I am w riting to ask your advice about m arrying again. “ I wouldn't be asking your ad vice," continues this very odd let ter from a Texas woman, “ if I knew whom to m arry. But 1 don’t. This town has no interesting free men in it. I have played about oc casionally with men I wouldn’t or couldn't m arry, and have found no satisfaction in nightclubs, danc ing, and shallow relationships of that sort. “ Do you know, and can you put me in touch with, two or three men anxious to m arry a handsome, well- fixed woman who loves a good time, keeps a comfortable house, and needs a sympathetic companion?” And "D ot,” to call her that, goes on with a list of the qualifications she would expect in her new mate.

Intense colors are favored In these suits as well as in other clothes, although you can still get them in black, white and navy, if that’s your choice. It is incredible to me that a woman so placed could be as com pletely Inexperienced and childish ly selfish as “ D ot" reveals herself to be In this letter. I answered her personally, and at once, but I haven't much hope that my very forceful warning w ill have any effect. My reason for quoting her letter and her problem lies in the rather pitifu l fact that, every year, thou sands of women deceive themselves with the fond thought that a second marriage w ill give them the hap piness. the dear companionship THE READER'S COURTROOM- Passenger Resents Fare Play -By W ill Bernard, LL.B.- II the Railroad Agent Sells You The Wrong Ticket, May the Conductor Put You off the Train? May on Accident "Victim" Collect Damages if Not Hurt But Just Scared? A railroad traveller paid for his passage to a distant city, but the clerk of the depot accidentally gave him a ticket good only to a nearby town. When the train came to this town, the conductor insisted that the passenger either get off or pay more fare. The man flatly refused. At last, the irate conductor dragged him bodily out of his seat and A widow lived alone near a ra il road track. One morning while she was sitting peacefully on her back porch, two freight trains collided and one of the cars toppled over into her back yard. Although not physically injured in any way, the woman sued the railroad for giving her such a scare. However, the court denied her claim. • • • / have played about . . " that death has taken away.

The court de to “ jump at the snap of a police pect, in m arrying him, to have to give up all other loves completely man’s finger.” cided the wedding was valid. This is the most promising view. But very often the picture is far darker than this. Dick wants to help handle the business of his bride. He knows of Investments that w ill double that comfortable income of hers. She mustn’t be afraid, women are all too tim id, she can make herself a very rich woman. What can Mother say? " I married you, Dick, but I have no faith in your Judgment.” So she goes to the bank with Dick, and Dick takes her to a champagne lunch and assures her she has shown good judgment. And that, many times, is the end of her money, and often the children’s money, too. Letters aren't often as childish as the one I quoted in the begin ning of this article, but all women have a way of bringing arguments into line when they plan the deep injustice to their children that a second marriage almost always in volves. And if this is the case in what Mrs. Wiggs called a “ sod” widow, it is doubly the case when it is a "grass” widow who is concerned. Then children’ s delicate nervous system may be actually destroyed by the palpable efforts of Mother to show that he does love them. Only she has to love Uncle Dick, too, and Uncle Dick isn’t always— quite—well, you see, darlings ----- . The darlings don’t see anything but one complicated, nerve-racking mistake piled on another, for the excellent reason that that is what the situation becomes. With no chil dren, or with motherless children needing her, or perhaps with one grown child, the experiment often is a success. But with girls of 12 and 7 and a boy of 10—well, no sensible woman need go out of her way to invite that sort of trouble into her home. Festive Affair Honors Barnum » Connecticut City G rateful to Showman BRIDGEPORT, CONN. — This city went all out with a three- ringed din kept up several days in honor of the late Phineas Taylor Barnum, the legendary showman who in the distant yesteryear said: “ There's a sucker born every minute.” From early afternoon into late evening, the music blared, the ban ners flapped and Bridgeport’s men, women and children frolicked and danced in scores of streets, in com munity houses and in the armory at the Big Top Ball. A ll this was a reminder to young and old that P. T „ as the souvenir program proclaimed, did f o r Bridgeport what a catalyst does for the chemist—start all the good re actions and bring about the desired results. • It was Bridgeport’s firs t annual Barnum festival which w ill be re peated every year coinciding with the a rriva l of the big show, Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. The circus ar rived for a two-day stand to bring the festival to a climax. Barnum might have been born in Bethel, 23 miles away, on July 15, 1810, but the guiding fathers want the world to know that Bridgeport was his preference. It was here that P. T. wintered his “ Greatest Show on E arth," the small wagon affair that became the forerunner of the circus which inherits the slogan. Incidentally, ever mindful of get ting the house packed, Phineas away back said: “ Give ’em what they want,” and proceeded to do just that. He imported the famed Jumbo, the elephant from England, and he discovered a midget, Char les S. Stratton, in this town, named him Gen. Tom Thumb and shared his fame. When inspiration was at a low ebb, Phineas had a mule painted with stripes and exhibited as a zebra. 8330 4-12 yn.
