Blanche lives In Chicago, keeping house with another army wife, who also has a little daughter. The two young women have apparently been having a pretty good time at dances, with theaters, movies, night-clubvarious admirers. Now she writes her husband, Gark, that in this one instance her affection for one of these men has gone too far; the man has left Chicago for the South Seas now, and has gone out of her life, but for a few weeks before he went away he and Blanche were lovers. He Is a married man, Gark and Blanche swears writes me, that she never will see him again, nor write to him, and that she is ashamed of the whole affair. A week after I had her letter, which seemed to crack the actual ground under my feet, 1 had a note from the mans wife, informing me of the affair, and that seemed to me to take away a good deal of the honesty of my wife's admission. Letters from a good many people hint of it, and she may have suspected that I would hear about it. "For the childs sake she asks me to forgive and forget, and I confess that that is my inclination, for I love my wife, adore my child, and have lived all these months in the thought of returning to our happy little home again. But can a man ever trust a woman after an affair like this? Will she do it again? If anyone else had told me that my sensible, loving, lovely wife was capable of this sort of thing I would not have believed it on oath, lie Erred, Too. One other thing, the letter conwhich perhaps may includes, fluence your decision. When we had been married about three years, when Yvonne was a tiny baby, I had an affair with a divorced woman who worked in my office. It went on for more than a year, when Blanche discovered it through the accident of my addressing her and talking to her on the telephone one day, believing it was the other woman. I ended the affair, she forgave me, and we never made further allusion to it. Should her generosity then affect me now? I feel it unfair to consider a womans offense in this matter more serious than a mans, but I do feel so.

They have a daughter. Blanche, who is now living with another officer's wife, has admitted an affair with a mar ried man. She says she is over her foolishness now, however, and is asking for forgiveness. W hile the lieutenant has had at least one fling during his married life, he regards his wife's infidelity as something more serious. He is wondering whether he can ever return to the old status after the war, now that his trust has been destroyed. ... fall and winter season forth on the feshion calendar as marking the dawn of a new era of superbly styled, luxurious looking fur coats that set a new high in point of elegance and artful design. After seeing the midwinter displays, so resplendent and so different in style technique, any idea of making a last years coat do this winter becomes in the mind of the woman who aspires to keep pace with fashion quite an unworkable theory. Perhaps what to do with that Girist-ma- s check might find an answer here. The woman buying the fur coat of her dreams now, will reap rich reward, for the midwinter showings are presenting fur artistry at its .peak. They stage a veritable revelation of models that interpret all the latest fashion gestures in way of wide versatility in the furs themselves, plus a new elegance in styling that outmodes anything that has been seen in recent years. Fur coats in current displays tell you the story of new shorter lengths, and of voluptuous large sleeves, most of them with dramatic wide cuffs, and of a new generous silhouette that achieves a flare and a pert back swing. These details sum up to that feeling of new elegance which pervades the entire fashion realm this winter. It adds intrigue too, that such an in amazing variety of furs aTe style these days.

Soups are good for filling in that gap before the main dish is brought to the table to satisfy the hungry. If they are substantial enough, that is, if they are creamed soups, or the thicker type of vegetable and meat combinations, no main dish is required. And, if there are any dieting members in the family, there are enough of the lighter types of soups which not only satisfy, but are low in caloric value. First, there are the substantial lentil soups which have much nourishment: Bean Soup, m pounds pork shoulder or ham 2 tablespoons onion, chopped 1 pound navy beans 1 teaspoon salt teaspoon white pepper Soak the beans in water overnight. In the morning, parboil them. Cover the meat with water, then add beans, onions, salt and pepper. Cook Ws to 3 hours. Serve with dumplings, if desired. Yellow Split Pea Soup. 3 pounds smoked brisket of beef or scraps of dried beef, sausage or ham bone 2 cups yellow split peas 3 quarts cold water cup celery, diced 1 small onion, cut fine 2 tablespoons butter or substitute 1 teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoons salt 14 teaspoon white pepper 2 tablespoons flour Pick over and wash peas. Soak them in cold water overnight, then drain and place in a saucepot with meat. Add cold water and let simmer gently for about 4 hours. Add celery during last part of cooking. Remove meat when tender. Skim fat off the top of the soup. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in frying pan, add the onions and brown. Blend in flour and gradually add soup, stirring constantly. Season to taste and serve with smoked meat, adding croutons. Gam Chowder, 1 quart clams 4 cups potatoes diced 2 inch square fat, salt pork 1 onion, diced 1 teaspoon salt teaspoon pepper 4 teaspoons butter 4 cups milk 8 soda crackers, rolled Pick over clams, drain and cut pork in small pieces. Fry out in skillet. Add onion and fry 5 minutes. Add pota-toeclam liquid and enough water to cover. Cook until nearly tender, then add butter, milk and seasoning. When potatoes are done and milk is very hot, add clams and cook for 3 minutes. s, XX it' ' V ( Lynn Says: The blouse worn with ths stune is made ning black wool of plaid taffeta than which there is nothing smarter. The styling of this blouse points out the fact that soft bow-ti- e effects lead in the mode. Also there is new accent in the lowered pointed waistline. two-piec- New.This-Seaso- n h i WeAfc the spotted types. As to Hie supremacy of lovely white ermine in the evening mode, there is no question. There is such a diversity of fur coat types one can find just the style one likes best. The emphasis tins year is on tuxedo fashions that range from the new short lengths to full length. Cossack coats offer a dramatic new silhouette and there is also increasing favor for the short tunic modes. Fur capes short or long make big news. They are especially smart in mink or Persian lamb. The coats pictured herewith, selected for illustration from among smart fur modes created by Chicago Fashion industries, carry the message of that new elegance which is so characteristic of fashions of nutoday. The handsome tria tuxedo coat shown above to the right stands for rich flattery and long dependable wear. It is a forthright example of fur coat perfection, styled in the new luxurious mood. Yet it is practical and of sterling worth. It has the new deep turnback cuffs and a chic matching hat.

Shown to the left above is a striking fitted Cossack coat, styled of gray Persian lamb. Whopping big sleeves and saucy pockets are intriguing style accents. It is stunning types like this that declare a new era in fur styling. The coat shown in lower left corner is interesting in that it is styled of lynx-dye- d fox, giving emphasis to the fact that the list of furs on this winters fashion program covers an unusually wide range. tie-sas- h jiffy. fast-colore- d 1 Soup Suggestions I X'X TRUST DESTROYED a wise man may easily r, be snared by a woman into a a wise woman is much better fitted to avoid the danger. However that may be, your only course is to forgive Blanche, and wipe the matter as completely from your mind and your memory as you can. Should any of these dear friends who have turned informer ever allude to it, it will be enough for you to say briefly that you understand the whole situation and that it concerns you and Blanche alone. Wait Till You Come' Home, Whether you two can make a success of a marriage in which confidence has been destroyed on both sides is a question, but apparently harmony was reestablished after your infidelity a few years ago, and it may be restored again. At all events, it seems to me the wise thing is to wait until the war is over, or until you are home again, and then see how you both feel and how things go. You will probably find your wife once again lovely and loving, your home and your small daughter everything to which a man wants to come back. Surely It is more sensible to make this attempt at a fresh start than to return embittered, lonely, with no place to go and no ties to resume. You will not be the only man who will have to make this sort of compromise when he comes home. In hundreds of cases there will be mistakes to forgive, stupidities to overlook. In all cases there will be the a deep chasm to cross Yes, Gark, I do.
