pardonable under any circumstances. The
only beauty of light glove is it's fresh

cheap gloves that it will pay to buy for
everyday business wear, but for more
ceremonious wear good glove will give

cause good glove always fits we'll. If
light gloves are your choice, get white

matter what the color of your gown,
whether white, black or bright in hue, the
p:ettlest glove is fine black suede. A
pair that costs 81 will last you a year for
evening wear alone, and will look we'll to
the very last.
A girl who has a particle of ingenuity
can make most of her own hats and Lon
nets, and that item will be very small
one after time. My advice in getting
materials is to get the best at the start
not the costliest but the most durable
In the case of ostrich tips, for Instance,
good ones cost more, but they last five
times as long. Wear a cheap tip On a
damp day and it is hopelessly ruined. A
good one may lose a little of it's curl, but
holding it close to a hot stove Immediately
ON coming IN will restore it's fuftiness, and
1t can be recurled for four or five seasons
at small cost.

A girl who wishes to be well dressed
on the street and at her office or in the
store gets out Of her street gown the mo-
ment she enters her home. Nothing SO
demoralizes street gown as to wear it
in the house. The seams of the waist get
pulled out of shape, the skirt wrinkles
with lolling in easy chairs and the wooden |
gown will take on all the odors that are
floating up from the kitchen, SO that the
minute you enter car or shop the ether |
il mates can tell you that you had sausage
and buckWheat cakes for breakfast or |
that the COOK is gong to have douSlnuts |
for your lunch. Manage to have two CT |

where you have right to look your pret- |
test
You can color and combine wornout |
street gowns for the purpose of making
pretty house gowns but, you love the |
admiration of your friends, don't attempt
to turn wornout street or ball tnery into
house gowns, unless you remodel them.
