TY/TORE than ever, Vogue now 
stands alone as the authori- V 
tative source of what really well- 
dressed American women are wear¬ 
ing. More than ever will you need 
Vogue’s authoritative advice in your 
buying; and also Vogue’s assistance 
in buying for you and articles you 
may want from the best New York 
shops—including Christmas gifts. 
Once, perhaps, you may have 
considered Vogue a luxury. This 
season, at least, Vogue is an ab¬ 
solute necessity to her who cannot 
afford to waste money in her pur¬ 
chases. 
$2 Invested in Vogue 
Will Save You $200 
The gown you buy and never wear is the really expensive gown. Gloves, hats, that just miss 
being exactly what you want, are the ones that cost more than you can afford. 
Why take chances again this season of confusion, when by merely sending the coupon, and at 
your convenience paying $2—a tiny fraction of the loss on a single ill-chosen hat or gown— 
you can insure the correctness of your whole Winter wardrobe? 
For $2 you may have before you in this critical buying season not only Vogue’s Autumn Shop¬ 
ping and Christmas Gifts Numbers, but also all the other Winter and Spring Fashions Numbers. 
Here Are the 12 Numbers You Will Receive

The Love Letters of Juliette 
Drouet to Victor Hugo 
Edited by Louis Gimbaud 
By force of a dominant will Hugo cloistered this beautiful girl in a 
shabby apartment and, when she complained of ennui, told her to 
write everything that caused her heart to beat. This is the origi¬ 
nating idea of the letters out of some twenty thousand of which the 
editor has selected the most witty, eloquent and lyrical, that shed new 
light upon the Hugo legend.

6-inch pipes, as illustrated. Then con¬ 
tinue the concreting until even with the top 
of the forms. 
Two ordinary iron manhole frames and 
covers may be obtained from a local dealer 
in building supplies. The manhole cov¬ 
ers should fit tightly and should not be 
perforated. The manhole- frames should 
be 10 inches high, so that when placed on 
top of the forms the upper edge will be 
even with ground level. If the manhole 
frame is of less height than this, it should 
rest on a circular piece of i-inch board, 
which is nailed to the top of the form. 
Since the concrete roof is to be self-sup¬ 
porting, it will be necessary to reinforce it 
with a few lengths of ^-inch round steel 
rods. There will be needed four pieces of 
5^-inch rods, 9 feet 6 inches long, and 
eight pieces 5 feet long. The roof is now 
ready to be placed. Place the manhole 
frames in proper position on top of the 
form, and deposit the concrete to a depth 
of 1 inch and on the concrete lay the long 
and short bars, as shown in Fig. 2. When 
the bars are placed, deposit the balance of 
the concrete so as to bring the roof to a 
total thickness of 4 inches. As it will be 
covered with earth, it is not necessary to 
give this top surface a smooth finish; 
merely level the surface by striking off 
with a straight piece of board. The tank 
should now be allowed to rest undisturbed 
for at least two weeks. At the expiration 
of this time, saw away wooden top of 
the forms inside of the manhole frames. 
Then enter the tank and remove the 
wooden forms, passing the lumber out 
the manhole opening. While in the tank 
make certain that the pipes are all unob¬ 
structed and not even partially clogged 
with dirt or lumber. The inlet pipe is then 
connected to the pipe from the house and 
the outlet pipe joined to three lines of 
3-inch concrete drain tile. The drain tile 
will be laid about 12 inches below the sur¬ 
face of the ground and the joints left 
open — that is to say, no mortar must be 
used in the joints. This permits the dis¬ 
charged fluids to be absorbed by the sur¬ 
rounding soil. The drain tile lines should 
be laid in the form of the letter “Y” and 
sufficiently extended to cover a large area 
of ground. Average conditions require 
that each arm be about 100 feet long. 
After this is done, cover the tank with 
earth to the level of the manhole covers. 
It is now ready for use. 
It is sometimes the custom to plant a 
few shrubs around the manhole openings, 
thus effectually hiding all evidence of the 
tank. 
A tank of the size specified will require 
about 4 cubic yards of crushed rock, 2 
cubic yards of sand and 7 barrels of Port¬ 
land cement. There will also be needed 
78 feet of 54 _ i n ch round steel rods, which 
can be obtained from the local blacksmith 
or hardware dealer. The tank can be built 
without skilled labor. It requires but few 
tools, and construction methods are so sim¬ 
ple that one man can easily build it.
