| 1t will 20 all right. OF course it is a change
from .'Oh, my; how too perfectly elegant!
Aren't you SWEET But then the other was
worn out. Practice gazing wistfully over the
sea if you are at the shore. It is becoming to
tho eyes, and it goes with the new gowns. You
need not think anything special while you are
gazing. Some girls feels discouraged because
| they think it takes more brains to seem thought
| full and sad than it did to seem vivacious.
| Not bit of it, Just the girl kept up an air
of brilliancy by giggling constantly and using
| her eyes a great deal you can be dreamy by
| cultivating reposeful slow way of moving,
not talking at all and signing great deal. OF
| course you must use your eyes, but you will
soon get the hang of the new way. Try to
think you have long lashes whether you have
OF not. and move your eyes around accord
ingly. Always look before you speak and when
you get your eyes slowly lifted to his face then
get off something. it does not much matter
what, in dreamy Tone and there you are.
THE NEW STYLE.
Indeed, the new style is easier than the old
One did have to say something bright now and
then to keep up ones reputation, but the pres
| ent girl only has to think | mean she has only
| to look if she thinking You must cul-
| tivate poetic passion for children. 1t used to
be very fetching to say Hello. Johnnie - to the
small boys, and it was quite the thing to make
yourself popular with the youngsters. but now
you must go in for the small girls. Call them
| little maids and make pictures all over the
place with them. l mean pose in hammocks
and on the sands with little girl in your arms.
| 1t looks very picturesque. Lay your slim white
hand on the child's head and say softly ..Ah. if
we could but see the skies these little ones
/ do" Ii is very easy when once YOU get the
idea. May be YOU haven't slim white hand. but
never mind; just think you have. and go ahead
with an air of confidence. Don't get the new
style mixed up with the old. exploded, esthetic
| girl. You must not cling or squirm, or any
| thing like that. You must be serene and
dreamful, but You must not wind yourself
about. 1t is quite different idea altogether
The esthetic girl watering. but the present
girl Is very seI.-cOmposed. 1t is difficult to ex-
plain. but ii is very easy and simple to do.

To my surprise he burst out with: mo; a

worried us half to death. When she didn't
overeat herself she was making love to some
young man or flirting with some old fellow. We
couldn't sleep, but lay there wondering whether
she was in bed or not. Ny wife would send me
to listen at the keyhole. Then she'd go herself

SMALL WAISTS.
Waists have never been so small as they are
the present season. 1t seemed that it must
add to the profits of the summer resort hotel
keepers, for, as l said to one of them certainly
the women cannot eat half the table provides,
He smiled. They eat more than ever" he
said
Yet you smile
why not? They eat very little. it is true, at
the table. How could it be otherwise? But
most OF them have meals in their rooms and
that, you know, Is extra service"
1t seems that almost all this seasons women
have breakfast their room. They eat
heartily. They do not appear until bathing
time. 1t has become quite the fashion for the
belle to don the bath suit in her room. sending
her maid to select the bath house, and there
take her gown. From IL to or 80 she lies
around the sand, afterward she disappears for
an hour SO. This is expected During the
hour or so the fair lady takes her luncheon in
her room. She puts on her stays at once not
pulled in. OF course not. She takes about all
the two hours to get them pulled in, little at
! time. By the time she appears she has her
waist under control. and can sail into the dir
ing room for dinner In quite the proper shape.
She does not eat any dinner. but what of that?
She has had plenty to eat all day. and she will
have a supper later. At the hop! Oh, no:
there she will only pretend at dinner. She
appears at the hop in an evening gown, the
waist of which allows her even less room than
did the dinner dress. 1t does not hurt her, be-
cause the dinner dress was a sort of rehearsal
for it. In 1t she looks lovely the great fullness
OF ruf1ing about the low neck, the skirt curving
ont at the feet make her seem like some beauti-
full vase from which the head with it's flower
face rises. She has to pay for this / don't
mean the modistes bill: that can be STAYED off
/ mean they have to pay by pretending
they did not want anything to eat at the
late hop supper. However, they have SUBJ
stantial supper after it is all over, when in
!oOse-oh. heavenly relief, wrapper, they lounge
in their own rooms. The butterfly OF this
season not only carries the smallest waist that
history records, but she does not sta-ve to
death. either.
HINTS TO WIVES.
II marriage SO often proves to be a failure in
these days Of ours, it is not always due to the
husband, though the world may be inclined to
| think SO. The wives now and then take hand
| in adding one to the long list of failures, and
! the strange feature of the matter is that they
do so half unconsciously. At heart they don't
mean to. and when they find their fine work
taking effect, and note the mans increasing
neglect, his growing love for the lodge or the
club, his waning enjoyment of the pleasures of
home, the. hold up their LANDS in horror, they
cry out in unfeigned alarm, they bewail their
sad lot with real tears shed in bona-fide fashion
True, good women, you keep to the letter of
the law. but you miss its spirit. The. good
book saith that man can't live by bread alone.
Hot biscuit will not fill up mans life; clean
carpets, white sheets. tidy rooms do not make a
home. smiling face, gentle voice, a sweet
temper, a forgiving spirit, these be the in
| gradients that make up the perfect wife. Man,
brave, strong. brutal he is at times, will fly
| from q contentious woman. Therefore, oh,
sister, from the moment your man enters the
house till the moment he departs therefrom
be smiable. be patient, be mild. Not one man
in million can be reformed by harsh OF I'M
| gentle means. Above all. don't nag at a man.
Don't fuss with him. Don't prick or prod him..
Don't worry him. Make il pleasant for him.
| At q friends house the other evening the hus-
band said laughingly, but with . tinge Of sad
ness in his voice: Il don't do anything right
don't eat right, drink right. walk right, talk
