NOTES.

The illustrations of Worth costumes
are attracting wide attention not only
on account of their value as representa-
tons of fashionable costumes, but be-
cause of their beauty as works of genu-
inc art. They have the pose
and finish of the finest wood
engravings, and present quite a
contrast to the ordinary conventional
fashlon-cuts whose only recommends
ton is utility. 1t NAV not be generally
known that these illustrations are drawn
and engraved in Paris at great expense
by the most accomplished artists espec-
Tally for the Bazar. Their publication
in that periodical may be regarded as
one of the most noteworthy of recent
journalistic enterprises. and as another
proof of the untiring progressive spirit
of the great publishing house which
controls it.

The question of boarding versus house
keeping has so far been discussed almost
entirely from the standpoint OF city life.
But in the country we have more people
than in the cities. The average country
girl would consider II fearful extravaganza

country for young couple TO keep house
and live well on what it cost the husband
for his board alone. say thirteen dollars a
month. TO pay the double OF that for
board would absorb the entire income,
and, OF course, is not to he thought Of But
aside from the question Of expense, most
country girls prefer housekeeping, as it
gives them a feeling of Independence,
They are doing something for living as
