and at night is SO worn out and assumes
so palpable an air of accomplishing res
ignation that the very sight of her is ir-
ritating to the last degree, and instead of
sympathy she usually gets Ia she
really deserves, a wholesale l~etting-alone-
ness or a good scolding for her foolish
over-zea1ousness.
What women really need to learn is
that the life of a truly dignlhed, useful
woman is not given up to this mad rush
from one occupation to another; that
nothing good or lasting is done in haste.
and that hurry is a fatal hindrance to the
accomplishment ofsany work of real and
permanent value. Let us leave hurry
to slaves" said the philosopher, Emer-
son, a saying which should be blazoned
in letters of gold over the door of the
abode of every modern Martha whose
soul is troubled with many things.
OF all the summer gowns the prettiest
are those made of organdie and muslin.
These have to be lined, or rather are
made over a fitted lining, but are so ar
ranged as to look loose and full, says
Harper's Bazaar White organizes and
lawn trimmed with quantities of real VAL
enciennes lace are the smartest of any.
The lace is put on to form a bertha or
fichu, if it is wide; if it is narrow, it
is used as a trimming to the ruffies. Some
of the waists are a mass of lace with only
tiny strips of the material in the entire
deux, and the cream white of the real lace
is invariably becoming. These gowns are

er women; in fact, they are too elaborate
for young girls. The skirts are not lined
in any case, but are worn over lawn-skirts
and an inner silk lining. The seven and
nine gored pattern is the prettiest, as the
broad circular sides in such thin matters
ais are apt to pull out of place. A pale
yellow organdie is made up over white
silk, with rufies from the waist to the
hem. The waist has a bertha made in a
deep point in front and at the back and
h edged with narrow Valenciennes lace, and
the sleeves are full puffs, with entire
deux of Valenciennes lace. Oddly enough
the belt and shoulder-knots are of black
satin ribbon, and yet the whole effect of
the gown is exceedingly light and cool.

for special occasions writes Ruth Ash
more In the June Ladies Home Jour
nal, But he is not a millionaire, and he
is not the young man drawn by those
illustrators who, in black and white, give
us so-called society sketches. A combi-
nation of foolish Influences makes the
| girl of today expect, entirely too much
from the young man Of today. She reads
or is told, that when a young man IS en-
| gagged to be married he sends mis- hancee
SO many pounds of sweets, SO many boxes
| of flowers, as well as all the new books
| and ali the new music that may appear
| each week. If there were more
honest girls in this world-honest in their
| treatment of young men-there would be
a greater number of marriages and fewer
| thieves. Yes, T mean exactly what I say.
| 1t is the expectation on the part of a
foolish girl hat a man should do more
than he can honestly, that has driven
many men to the p~enitentiary, and many
more to lives of so-called single blessed

The most elegant and dressy bedspreads
fer the warm season are of embroidered
muslin. These come with initials elabor-
| ately worked in the centre, and a border
all round, edged with lace. The spread is
long enough to cover the bolster roll as
| well, though a piece for this may be had
| separate. The best and most expensive
of these spreads come woven in the
requisite bed sizes. but they may be very
~acceptably secured from two lengths of

through the centre. When the muslin is
bought for this purpose, a pattern with
an escalloped edge is best. as the points
may be effectively overlapped, concealing
the Joining. vaIances are still a matter
of taste, though for brass and iron bed
steads they seem a necessity. The sheer
dress organizes, with their beautiful all
over patterns of flowers and vines, make
very attractive summed bedspreads, put
on over a cambria spread or solid color
or white.

Belts Of plaid silk fastened with a
metal buckle are popular with English
women. and belts Of every sort are a
particular feature of dress. Leather Of
various tints forms a background for all
sorts of metal work and fancy jeweled
designs. A green one dotted over with
turquoise is especially good style.
