same opinion that she was when she
started. AS what one wants always does
come when one wishes with great in
tensity, so it did to this lonely one,
known to the world in which she lived
as pretty Mrs. Dick Her intimate
friend, that everybody called bright
Mrs. Ten, walked into the room as
only a well dressed woman can walk.
She looked at her friend, and she said:
Why, Dick, what in the world are
you thinking about!"
Mrs Dick looked up-and when blue
eyes look up how lovely they are and
she answered:

Mrs. Tom gave quick glance, and
she said:

is o'clock in the afternoon. you are at
home, you are going to give me a cup
of tea, and you have on pale pink
cloth tea gown trimmed with frills of

Dickie, I'll tell you. It's the being
absolutely harmonious with your sur
roundings. In the morning the well
dressed woman, getting up with bright
eyes and clear complexion, the result
of good health and clear conscience,
puts on a simple woolen gown, plainly
made, but CT an attractive color and one
that is becoming to her. She has her
hair arranged rather smoothly than
