II is the time Of year when the economical
woman comes to the fore and writes to all
her dearest friends. won't you tell me of a
really reliable, cheap dressmakerT Now
the friends don't know or one of this sort,
and II they did they wouldn't tell her, for
the woman would raise her price. o.

concludes by having a woman by the day,
ana she tells you that, although she wants

able to get one. Charley saws
money IS tight, and she is going to

weeks after that you so to see the finished

undesirable gowns. The woman who
worked By the day had ideas Of her own

attained the end she desired. She had no

and when this was objected TO, she
declared she had always worked
for perfect ladies, and they had never
found fault With what she did. Now, my
friend had never posed as a perfect lady,
but during the time the woman by the day
was there she lived in constant fear of hurt
ing her feelings and accepted the gowns as
they were given to her. Her punishment
was something awful; not only will she
have to wear those inventions Of the evil
one. but the man of her heart. the man for

made by that beastly dressmaker. That's
the way woman economies.
MANS IDEA OF ECONOMY.
When man wants to economical may
mention, quite casually. that he seldom does
is he such goose as TO get a t~openny
ha penny suit Of clothes. Certainly rot
tie knows the economy there is in q we'll
fitting, well-made, get-up, and If he can't
have new suit made by good tailor. he
has his last years pressed and put in order.
And that's what the woman who wants to
economic ought to do. But no. no! as
soon as she thinks she is helping tho family
out in any way by stopping up the spigot
and letting out at the bung-hole she gets
so abominably uppish that nobody can
stand her, and the only thing to do is to let
her work out her own-well-salvation.
THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.
The weather has been beautiful enough
to make US give thanks TO the Gentleman
who puts in the paper what time the sun
SOeS uOWH una Iue MOON goes up. Ilere IS
nothing in this world that's half as good as
sunshine, except love, and when you com
bine sunshine and love you are to count
yourself the happiest woman in the world.
And when you can't get either, then you
ought to be glad that somebody else can,
and in this way make a little sunshine for
yourself. People are very tiresome who
regulate their amiabilitv by the weather.
Why, because the sky is gray, should you
conclude that the world is filed with muir
derers?
Why, because the raindrops are falling,
should you take it as personal insult, in
stead of remembering that the umbrella
people must make livings
Why, when it is blowy and blustery,
should you think that the wind selects you
as its special victim, and not realize that
you are of very little Importance to the
wind, which could, if it wanted to, knock
you out in one round?
Why, when it's showing, do you foresee
the sloppiness that will follow, instead Of
the whiteness that exists.
It's because you are a grumbling, ill
natured creature-because there is really no
place for you on this earth, and nobody
wants you here. We want people who,
through good or bad weather, can be cheer
full and merry hearted, and always see the
best side of things. Don't you agree with
