A man who heard me tell the story turned to his wife and said: "Now tell yours." She then related an inâ€" cident she had come across in Torâ€" onto. A man died and his wife ap plied for the allowance. For some reason there were delays and the money was not forthcoming:© She beâ€" gan to weary of the delays, and one day remarked to a friend that "It almost makes me sorry my husband died." \ One evening while in Toronto I was relating an incident which occurred in Ovillia this winter. On a certain Saturday night a man who has spent practically all his days in Orillia died at a good age, and the next morning a neighbor‘s wifle came to see the widow. During the conversation the bereaved woman made . the remark that it was too bad it was Sunday as she could not go up to see about her pension. She had children yml‘ enough to claim the allowance. ] wIDOWS AND PENSIONS.

Despite their apparent frailty they make themselves suitable for every cummer occasion, With printed frocks, in pastel . or bright tones, the practical combinaâ€" tion of an ensemble jacket of solid white is suggested by designer Kelly. Two interesting touches are the use of long sleeves, even for a sumâ€" mer evening gown, and the draped sash, which ties in front. This theory is illustrated in .a gown designed by ~Kelly for Ann Dvorak. It is simply made of sheer white crepe and the skirt is intriâ€" catciy cut in‘a moulded line, with a slight fullness at its lower edge. The bodice has conical slits at the shouldâ€" er line, set in with fleshâ€"toned marâ€" quisette and garnished with two huge crystal buttons, which form an anâ€" chorage for a detachable cape wrap that has an exciting military dash. | From the most informal drestes worn in the morning, from beach togs, tennis frocks and street wear gowns to gowns of formal imporiance, Orry Kelly says white is the most adaptâ€" able and flattering of all colors for a woman to choose.
