"Going away with a party or just one
congenial eompanion?, we asked the
bachelor girl.
Going away with nobody" she resort-
ed. Except my own congenial self. If I

But as for saddling myself beforehand
with some one whose summer welfare !

me.
Last year I did hat. Picked out one
of my friends and settled down with her
at a pretty place on the Massachusetts
coast.
1--WE Travelled tandem in our tastes the
whole season. She turned out to be a
typical disconnected woman. Whined
over everything.

have so many unsympathetic tastes.
There wasn't the slightest use trying 10
please her, because she was just naturally
and Systematically Disconnected.
.sShe fretted when there was a land
breeze because it was 50 warm, and she
fretted when there was a sea breeze be-

sShe looked so wretched over my few
bits of summer finery that l really hadn't

anything halfway decent l did it with
a sneaking feeling of disloyalty.
she hated sailing and she hated walk
ing; at the same time she was restless
and wanted to do something every day.
"She was selfishly jealous enough to
resent it when I ventured to ride or walk
with anybody else. I never dared make
up even a party of two without including
her, and I never had the satisfaction of
feeling that she appreciated it, either.
NShe didn't fuss openly. Just went
about with that intangible air of discon-
tent that set my teeth on edge.

have been seen more often in the old
time low-neeked frock this summer than
for many years past, says the "Noman'S
Home Companion.'' The Drettiest ones
are cut square and nave shoulder-frilis
and open lace or embroidered yokes. A
rumor is afioat in babyland that the wee
tots are going to part company with the
long-used short dress reaching to this
knees, and are to return again to Inc
quaint Greenaway dresses. which make
the little ones look like little women.
Some of these Greenaway froeks hang in
fullness from the neck, while others hang
from suaqre or round yokes or have very
short baby waists with an inch-wide
waist-band that comes but little below
the arm pits. The sleeves are usually a
short full puff, and the necks are cut low
to be worn with a guimpe. A Greenaway
shirt should never be ruffled. but should
be quite full, and finished either with a
plain wide hem or a narrow hem headed

Not even an echo answers where has
the ostrich feather boa gone. 1t has
simply melted out of sight and there is
nothing in its place. Slowly disappearing
is the long gold chain, with its inset
jewels, beads or pearls. Into the place
of the chain has sprung a new toy. A stick
of ivory, ebony. or tortoise shell; scarcely
larger, in girth. than a slate pencil, meas
ures about eighteen inches in length and,
tapering at one end to a lead pencil, that
screws in and out. At the other end it
is finished by a set of three little glasses
that fold together. One is a powerful
magnifying lens, the other two are for
observing objects at a long distance or at
close quarters. in case one is near or far
sighted. This fiat gold top, where the
g~old-rimmed glasses are set on. is easily
unscrewed and down the whole centre of
the tick runs a vein filed with romatic
| gum. refreshing in a close room, or acting
as a restorative for startled nerves.
Sometimes in place of the screw pen
ell, q fine steel blade shoots out from the
end of the stick. For what purpose this
last is used no woman has yet found out,
save TO cut magazine leaves and open let
ters, but it is a daintily pretty weapon.
More feminine and appropriate not to say
useful, is the end finished with a gold
hook for fastening gloves. Direct from
Paris these batons have come, along with
the fancy for cutting up long gold neck
chains into armlets.
"a home training for a girl is a thing
not to be despised.'' writes Edward Box,

Journal eff that training is of the best
it is an exceedingly fine question to de-
eide whether it is not as good in its high
est and truest results as a college course.
That a home training is infinitely better
for a great many of our girls thar the
best training possible at a college admits.
I think, of very little, if any. dispute. I
say this, and emphasize the point, be-
cause some of our girls are prone to feel
