with every button intact. When she
wears white gloves, they are clean,
All this is managed by attending tc
at once, and at no other time. When
a skirt is taken off, brush it, put the
hat in it's box, the gloves away in theil
sachet, the shoes where they will be
attended to, and make up your mind
that no work is too much in order to
look well groomed.

buys good things, expends great deal
Of thought on their selection, and has
them well cut. She does not approve
of exaggerated styles, because they

The Germans know how to make
the punishment fit the crime. When
a man assaults his wife in England
he is sent to prison, and his family
thereupon are deprived of his sup
port. If the term of Imprisonment is
a long one, his wife and children pro-
bably spend it in the work house
awaiting his release. The Germans
improve on this system. Instead of |
keeping the husband in confinement.
% the possible starvation of those de-
pendent on him, he is arrested every
saturday on leaving work, and kept
n custody until Monday morning, |
when he goes to work as usual. The
process is repeated until his sentence
8 worked out.
