mands colder C innate. Her long boa
and muh come in very handily for finish
ing touches, and no one viii deny that
she has reason to look pensiVe. 1 have
sketched her as an interesting exhibit Of
a wintry toilet.
Some of the women who have money
left over in plenty after buying the cost
lest inery are making costume albums.
a book of this kind was picked up by
visitor to New York IN the draWing-rOO
of q young matrOn we'll known in society.
On the first page was a fuIl-Iength photo
graph of Mrs. Blank, in her bridal robes,
apparently fresh from the altar; while on
the opposite page was an artistic arrange
ment of the materials that had composed
the bridal toilet, satin and lace, with even
stray orange blossoms deity painted here
and there. The next page represented
her in a we'll fitting tailOr-made suit, ap-
parently just on the point of starting on
her honeymoon, while the opposite page
again supplied evidence as to the colOrs
and M materials which the photograph could
not give. The rest of the book was ar
ranged on a similar plan, the left-handed
page being reserved for a photograph of
gown and Wearer. while the right con-
tanned specimens OF the materials and
trimmings. Considerable ingenuity and
taste were displayed IN the exhibits of
the latter each page being adorned with
some appropriate emblem, either en-
broidered or painted, and carrying the
date when the costume first appeared in
public. Aside from the fancifuIness Of
the idea, it really gave most entertain
ing chapter from her social history. To
the owner of course 1t would prove a
book of memories, recalling to her many
otherwise forgotten events in her life.
A series of photographs, taken at
different times, of any one person, never
fails to be instructive. If yOu DO not
believe it. gentle reader, just collect all
the work of art fOndlV gupDOEeG to
portray yourself, from your earliest IN
fancy up to the present day, and you viii
no longer doubt my words. You may
navel at the fashions in dress of your
earliest period but you viii perhaps find
more edifying changes In the wearer. All
your little idiOsyncrasies viii come out
in some picture or other, and YOU viii
arise from the study OF this portrait
gallery with some entirely new ideas of
yourself. Collectively the photographs
produce an effect which individually they
could never have.
Do you carry a sachel when you 90
shopping? Wonderful how hard it is to
trace q penny among all the stuff la the
bagl Besides, you never know If there
really is a penny there or not. To be
sure you always drop your small change
into it, but now that the clasp of the bag
has taken to bursting open you can't be
sure Won don't lose a good deal. When
YOU held the bag on end and shake it you
hear something rattle. but you know that
package Of steel buttons came loose In the
bag last week. and you are always think
ing the buttons are nIckels. OF course
you cant see; you just have to drag out
whatever you get hold OF. If YOu could
only keep from getting the bag so
TANNED full, or induce the clasp o stay
closed. 1t is so embarrassing to 60 along
spllling pictures and pennies and letters
