The princess gown is coming in for
house wear.
The morning frock and the toilette
donned for afternoons at home. show evil
dences of this design. Women are adopt
ing them also for street wear.
They are designed for all figures. these
gowns. Many are finished in c~orselet
fashion with a pouch blouse in velvet
or in crepe de chine. This makes them
especially advantageous for Very thin wo-
men whose forms need ascertain fullness
i'll the costume. The princess gown I'M
modified is not attractive on these figures,
and it is delightful to find something suf-
ficiently pulled and full.
The fancy velvets now SO much worn
lend themselves charmingly for this cut
of gown. Among them all the Oriental
yeIvets are particularly happy in effect.
One gown of this suggestion was in
blue gray cashmere with revers and
sleeves in darker cloth. 1t was braided
in black soutache. Again l saw a charm
ing breakfast gown in figured silk and
trimmed in very narrow ruchings of black
valenciennes. This costume was of pure
princess cut with broad girdle of its own
material. The collar which stood very
high on either side of the cheek was bor-
dered with the lace ruchings.
A third had skirt and basque of plain
cloth combined and close fitting in true
princess cut. But over this was rTanged

Edward w. Box, editor of 1.-THE Ladies'
Home Journal, always a staunch and I'M
compromising advocate of the home, as
serts, in the November issue of his maya
zine, that a-home, however humble, is a
million times better place for young mar
ried couples to live than is the most lux
urious hotel or best clearinghouse in
the land. ut is always a sad thing" he
says. when a young married couple be-
gin life in o. boarding house or hotel. Sad
because they start life practically outside
of themselves. The furniture around
them is not their own. The young wife
may bring with her all the trifies she
chooses; she may add a touch of her own
here and another touch there. But the
things in the room are not theirs, and
sooner or later she realizes it.
During the day the wife is alone. No
duties call her. Nothing is there in life
to exercise her ingenuity nor develop her
womanly talents. She canno prepare any
little pleasure for her young husband, for
things are repaired for her. When her
husband leave her for his office she
turns back into the room. and wonders
what she can do during the day; how she
Will employ, herself; where she will go.
There is nothing in her room to appeal to
to stay there. No home duties confront
her. So she goes out and shops, perhaps,
for a while; runs around to her mother's;
calls upon home friends; goes back to her
room to practice a little, if she is musical
and has a piano: or. If she is fond of books
she reads. There is nothing in her life;
glad when the time comes for her hus-
band to come home; glad to feel that she
has someone TO whom she can talk; glad
of company. And he? What can he do
to express himself to his young wife,
Nothing around him is his; everything is
by lease, his for a time, for SO much
for it he leaves it behind The end IS the
same as the beginning. That is why
clearinghouse or hotel life. is so injuri-
Gus to young married people. 1t makes
them practically homeless"
The new foot tub is a beauty. 1t is
shaped like the costly furred foot NUTS
which are used for driving in snowy
weather. and sometimes used by invalids
in the house.
Instead Of the broad open tops of the
ordinary foot tub. this is a covered tub,
or rather an enormously wide boot in
enameled tin. You step with both feet
into this boot, which has ample room.
the sides coming up almost to the knee.
and sizes may be had which come up to
the knee. There is a bail-handle like a
bucket. which hangs over the front of
the foot tub. Painted sky blu enamel
with white lining, these are the most
complete foot tubs going. They have the
advantage of retaining the heat. for a
foot soaking much longer than does the
ordinary tub-shaped bath. They rest fiat
on the floor and are enapeled to match
the pale blue hot water jugs that the
chambermaid uses to bring the hot water
in of mornings, to temper the bather's
