fTk, y as is generally the case,
M EL9/ 1HC this popular idea is very

Wtt responsibilities, SO many

STILL IN THE COUNTRY
The fashionable world Is now at it's country
scat. II would be little less than criminal to

elegant Lady for looking forward with such de-
light to these few weeks a. mistress of the
manse. Here In large rooms and wide halls
she 10 queen; every one bends to her, compli-

like the narrow field of triumph in the town
drawing room, where she must share her scep-
ter with score Of others. No, no; here she is
the lady OF the castle. Her comings and goings
and sayinGs noted and studied. for this
great roomy home IL her kingdom and these
broad lands are her domain.

should be cream, while the embroidery should
be in bise brown, and if you SO desire you may

the deep cuffs should be considerably wider
than the sleeve.
