A woman was the other day relating
how, when Amelie Rives sent her first
story, "A Brother to Dragons" unsign-

editor of that periodical, declared. aTha

Why is it that in most households the
dinner table becomes a dumping ground
for the wholesale plants of it's members?
Probably because this is the only meal
of the day when the entire family meet
together, each one feels it a duty to
air a few personal grievances in order
to seek consolation from the others.
Out of Difference to digestion, if for no
other reason, dinner table conversation
should be of the spiciest, but this fact
is 10 / sight of in the general desire of
ever. oody, from papa down to the young
sters, to serve up only those topics which
ave marred rather than made the days
happiness. Z
Hardly has the man of the house finish
ed his carving duties before he falls
INTO an animated financial discussion
with his wife. Household expenses are
rehashed; bills grumbled over, and the
cost of living r-ecalculated with tedious
regularity.
Mother. in her turn, eagerly pours into
any listening ear her domestic woes. The
days errors below stairs are infinitely
recorded. She signs over Bridget's butter
waste, declares that the butchers indif-
ference to her order is becoming intol-
cradle, and so On.
Then the small boy (poor little target
for family flaw-picking) comes in for his

Ladies' Home Journal, tto set aside

nowadays they wear everything that their
mothers do, except real lace and jewels.
Care is taken, however, to use only small
patterned materials for their frocks. In
colors, white is always in good taste,
also baby blue and pink, and this spring
green is very much in vogue, as well
as golden brown, red, French and navy
blue, pearl gray and pale yellow. Black

bon or mohair braid. Satin and taffeta
ribbons are used as trimmings, also
white, yellowish and linen-colored en-

are used in white and butter shades,

If only one silk gown is to be pur-
chased for summer use, a foulard will
prove more useful than a MORE check of
stripe. You do not get as tired of it, for
one thing, and a pronounced gown looks
common sooner than a palmer one. Wom-
en- who wear their clothes a long time
should consider these points. AS mate
rails are so cheap mi the cost of max
ing up is the chief consideration, it is
more economical to take a dress into
steady wear than to spend time, twice
a year, altering a good gown and MAX
ing it up-to-date.
