She is artistic to- her very backbone.
Fatigue is price she never hesitstes TO
pay for the qualification Of her artistic

She eats and drinks beauty. Takes car

for the same reason. Prefers her coffee

She is the alternate delight and de-

who lived in western town, wrote TO
ask her daughter to buy winter wrap

OF FEmrNINn INVENTION.
Little Matters OF Dress In which Comfort
and Grace are Sought Chiefly.


Almost every woman has some article
OF clothing OF which she is especially
fond. Nine times out OF ten IL Is some
thing she has devised herself as a sub
stItute for what is worn by her less Ia
yentiye sisters. For instance one
shrinking young woman, who would
almost rather be wicked than strong
-ginssd, goes al out wkh her small feet
done up in boys boots OF the sturdiest
variety. She says they are more COM
Portable, three times as durable and
quite as neat as the so-called strong
walking shoes for ladies. She wears
the dalntIest and most flexible OF
feminine house shoes, but for walk
on the pavements she will have moth
ing but boys boots.
Another woman of more advanced
years, In fact, she Is on the shady side
OF so, wears white balbrlggin hose and
has worn them ever since she
was q child. Fashions come
and 20, but II does not alter her fancy.
For years the good woman has not been
able TO give her skirts tidy lift on a
rainy day, because she was at the wrong
end OF the color line. But she cherish
ed a belief that black stockings made
her weak, so she dragged her petticoats
with stern persistence, strong In the
consciousness Of her undyed hose.
Closely allied to the hose are the elias
tics. There are two varitIes OF this use
full article, the round garter and the
suspender. A woman who wears sus-
bender, and vice versa. Friendships
have been wrecked thereby. Health is
the watchword of the suspender fac
ton; beauty is the boast OF the garter
tribe.
One proud woman serenely claims TO
have solved the difficulty by uniting
the two. She wears suspenders-but
such suspendersi This is the way she
makes them. II they are to be OF light

(she has solid silver ones) and sews
those which catch the stockings TO
blue ribbons, with coQuettish bows
inst above the silver. These two
ribbons (for there are Two clasps TO one
stocking, of course.) are fastened
toeetber with another bow At the buc-
kle. The piece which extends from the
buckle to the belt Is OF blue silk elastic.
This is stretched TO It's full length, and
while thus extended, strip OF blue rib
bon is sewed over 10. When the elastic
is released IL sbortens. OF course, 1uting
the ribbon in the process. This makes
a suspender which will silence the most
ardent advocates Of the beauty OF tho
round garter.
