Philadelphia Inquirer.
A remarkably practical girl for an engaged
young woman made this little confidence to
her best friend: I've tod Ned. and I'm Sc
rious about it. too, that he needn't fairly
shower me with flowers now unless ne means
to keep up the practice, to some extent, at
least. when we are married. If I. don't get
the roses and lilies now I shall not miss
them later on. when we've settled down to
the economies and commonplace of married
life. There's Kitty Blank, for instance.
When Tom was counting her that girl went
about from morning until night looking like
a human flower garden. You couldn't act

ever spends a meager % cents upon violets
for her. The contrast between her floral ex-

Ned that he start a post-courtship floral
fund. want him to lay aside half of what
me nowadays, so that after our marriage,
when Cupid has absconded with most of our
illusions, there will still be left the blossom

least of our engagement days. Ned just
laughs at the idea. of course. and says:

This is hard on the husbands, isn't It? And
all the harder because IL is true. Not only
do the rose and violet tokens vanish with
the wearing of the wedding ring, but soda

The Word "Bodieev

New York Evening Sun.
1t is a great mistake to call "a bodice" any
thing but a bodice. Corsage u permissible.
of course, and Is never misleading. but IL
has the foreign twang that every good Amer
lean should avoid even in the technicalities
of dress. Waist is a word thar. logically,
should never be applied to a garment having
just as much reference to the shoulders and
neck as to the waist. And above all. the bod
ice should never be called a body" Such a
term is not only '.Iinelegant and improper"
but is distinctly misleading. An example OF
this occurred recently right here In New
York city. A young woman. who for some
days had been visiting her married sister in
the suburbs, returned home without remem-
boring to bring all her luggage with her.
Among the clothes che left behind her was
an evening bodice that, Almost as soon as she
arrived home, the young woman found she
wanted to wear. She accordingly ~telegraphed
TO the suburban sister asking that the de-
sired article be shipped at once. 1t so hap
pened that this young woman spent the

a successful man, 'but make the world be-
lieve you are prosperous, and prosperity will

than many people realize. not only In bust

READING FOR WOMEN
LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF HERALDIC
ETIQUETTE NOW USEFUL.
Mistake Made by Parents in Showing
on Their Children-FlOwers for
Wife as Well rs Sweetheart.

There are so many good people in society
whose note paper and cards are matters of
eyebrow-lifting comment, when a little con-
sultation with a reliable authority on her
aldry and the etiquette of cards and cor
respondence would have assured correct
ness. So. bark We to the laws of Rome,
says Jenness Miller's Magazine.
The unmarried woman bears her pateTnal
arms in a lozenge emblazoned on her sta
tionery. Upon her marriage her crest be-
comes Incorporated with that of her hus-
band on an escutcheon, and the two are
used together. If, however. her husband
has no claim to a crest, she may properly
retain the p~aternal coat-of-arms.
A coat-of-arms is a significant decoration,
one to be proud of, and heraldry is receiv-
ing an unprecedented amount of attention
in this country. now that the multipiica-
ton Of societies of the descendants of dis
tinguished ancestors is leading to a general
ransacking of family history.
To have a search made through the dim
ages for the armorial insignia which be-
longs to one by right of ancestral descent
is a costly proceeding. But in New York.
Boston,, Philadelphia and all the large
cities there are jewelry and stationery
shops which have special departments of
heraldry for the convenience of their pa
irons, and, besides. there are scholars of
heraldry, ''pursuivants of arms in the
technical phrase, who make a profession
of genealogical research and the hunting of
family arms.
Once discovered. the engraving Of the
arms is a comparatively simple matter.
A good seal engraver will produce an ar
tistic crest for from $40 to $25, the price
depending upon the amount of work in
volved in the design. The printing of the
crest on stationery In aesingle color will
cost 1 cent per sheet, and an additional cent
per sheet for each additional color used
In the design. A design. therefore, which
calls for a crest printed in three colors
will cost 3 cents for each sheet Of note
paper on which 1t is printed.
by preference, the monogram Is a very at
tractive bit of individuality when stamped

the monogram was readable at a yards

consisted of long-legged. sprawly letters,
making a design fully an an inch inch, square at
unlike a trade mark. The era of the con-
spicuous monogram Is over. There is a
certain latitude for individual taste, but
correct style for a monogram is a design
inclosed in a circle, being occasionally sur
mounted with a bow knot, The whole de-
sign should not be over half an inch In
diameter. Within this radius it Is re-

duced. The tiny monogram is also the
