Now here is a balance of 81 which
may be applied to a parasoI for summer,
or an extra bonnet for winter. The
money. saved on cloak and jacket for the
second winter may be turned into a
handsome cloth dress.
There are those who, reading this list,
viii say: ''What nonsense, a hat fit to
wear for 81. It is impossible" It
would seem so. But the writer of this
article saw a handsome hat that cost
less. Tt was a gray rough-and-ready,
a pretty and becoming shape that cost
at q special sale six cents. 1t was
trimmed with gray cloth to match the
costume, with two white wings which at
the sale were four cents each. The
wearer trimmed it herself. A young
lady who holds q responsible position in
the Detroit post Office wore a dress one
summer which was the admiration of all
her friends. It was suitable for a COM
pany outfit, and the material cost Just
So cents. She made it herself.

How to Dress Wen on Fifty Dollars

Detroit Free Press.

1t is a subject Of remark that Miss A
or Mrs. B can dress as well as they
do, on an apparently very small income,
but those ladies understand the art of
shopping. They attend the special sales
and secure bargains, and are their own
milliners and dressmakers. 1t viii be
noticed that they do not indulge in
cheap fnery or tawdry colOrs. What
they have is of good quality, and so
quiet in color and texture, that it gives
them the appearance Of being very well
dressed, without challenging attention
to details. They observe the French
rule Of being well gloved and well boot
ed. They dispense with lace and rib
bon bows. Instead of dOurishing hand
kerchiefs that cost a quarter, with
Greek border in red or blue, they carry
unostentatiously a neat white null,
with hemstitched or embroidered edge,
fit for any lady in the land and war
ranted not to fade. They wear black
hosiery and keep them in order by
washing and mending them at home.
Here is a table prepared by lady who
is a teacher in the Detroit schools,
which gives a list of the necessary gar
ments with price appended. It is, Of
course, presumable that the Wearer has
some of her former costume left to be-
gin this year with, and that she viii

The period between Paul Harley's
committsl by the Coroner and his ap-
pearance before the Jury was one of al
most unmitigated horror to him, the
only relief IN fact being the almost con
slant presence of Harold ProudfOot and
Helen, the latter of whom had thrown
all reserve aside and had boldly avOwed
her love for Paul and her perfect conf
dence in him and belief In his innocence.

from his editorial duties and gave him
self up to the task Of proving his friends
innocence, finding much more difficulty
than he had at first supposed. Harold
