years ago, loving fingers prepared the long

mother has now but to make out 8 list and
spend g. few hours in selecting the entire outfit,

What Girl Ooes
| The Modern Girl, to leave dancing out of the
question, is still mothers orderly house to chaos
| by her aesthetic tastes and her decorating. She
repaints the worn and japanned tea-waiters, and
! the water pitchers, teacups, pie-platee, and
| her fathers shaving mug. She belongs to an
| amateur dramatic club aud a reading Shak
spearean association. She gets herself up a
| bewitching gypsy or fairy for tableaux; takes
singing lessons from bogus ''old rnaster;"
makes one of a French class where they villify
| each other IN a foreign language in very bad
grammar She takes Turkish baths because
her limbs are round, aud it will be sure to get
! out if she goes down there to be sweated and
| rubbed and knesded in an atmosphere
that would parboil Hottentot She
tells another girl who cannot afford it that she
! should die if she did not take them. She offers
! to play for everybody's benefit, and calculates
on wearing set of costumes that will para
| lyze the club. She takes swimming lessons at
the Natatorium because she looks we'll in q
close fitting blue flannel shirt and drawers, and
| it Is so nice to scream and have big man rush
| in and drag her out, and girls who swim well
are away above par at the sea side resorts. She
joins the riding class because she sits her horse
| we'll, and is one of the few women who can
wear a riding hat and look pretty She encour-
! ages the Tally-ho parties, becanse it smacks
! of adventure to come smashing and rolling
| ing horn, and the suppers delightful She be-
! longs to the Flower mission and visits the sick
| children and lonesome patients in tbs hospital,
because it is the thing to do, and down in her
heart she feels that her Creator demands some
thing from her once in a WHILE and she enioys
| dong good action which makes her sleep
better at night She works like slave at
| church festivals and dinners in a bewildering
costume and a eoubrette cap of white muslin,
declaring every moment that she will sscer-
| tainly DROP" but she keeps up surprisingly
| when more men come in with plenty of money
and very little notion of how it all went when
| they go out She looks on the female who
comes in to eat as all Infringement because
| she did not bargain to swell her little feet up
by trotting about with oyster patties and Char
| lotte Russes for other women.
Screens.
! For sitting-room fire screen, silk, satin,
| velvet or plush to match the prevailing color
! is appropriate. Crimson silk yandyked at the
| bottom and edged by ivory-t tinted lace, the
stitch being run in hem about six inches
! higher, over which, to prevent it looking too
| plain, may be worked crest. monogram, or
| spray Of flowers, in shades of gray and ivory
| or else the paint brush may be brought into
use. miniature window frame may be added.
