China crepe and lace shawls, SO
long laid by owing to their lack of
correspondence with the rest of the
fashions, will now find useful occu-
patton in forming draperies on the
long trains that hang from either
shoulder. The foundation Of this
train is made of silk or satin, accord
ing to the rest Of the gown. Two
dreadths of the silk are sewed to
form a great square and caught up
between two corners and tackled to
the shoulders, from which it falls a la
Greque. Over all this, and down on
the train so formed, goes white or
black lace shawl that can display its
fine texture and beautiful pattern to
the best advantage.

Short and Sharp.

Love may live an age, if you do
not marry it.
Woman is never too angry to be
without mouthful Of sweet words.
To be patient with fashionable
people is the best kind OF discipline.
When girls are old enough for a
lover, they are match for any gray
head.
Woman is not to be counted your
own until you have her inside a we'd
ding ring.
The best evidence of love is to sign
a paper relinquishing right to the
brides fortune.
Women who buy their social pro-
gress will nearly always faint at the
sight of wash-tub.
Familiarity with servants is a good
indication of the origin of some peo-
pie of the day.
Clergymen who only preach for
effect are never noted for success in
salvation of souls.
About the only tenderness IN the
tailor-made woman is that produced
by tight lacing.
1t is one of the easiest, as one of
the meanest things, to be funny at
other folks expense.
The girl is foolish who encourages
the attention of a man she knows
can never marry.
The man who has the courage of
his convictions in these days is look
ed upon as curiosity.

Trim little turbans, toques and Ca

suits. A bit of the dress material

fancy may dictate-spreads his wings
