d poIder OF black roSebuds and half
blown rosebud here and there over the
net, Ferhaps you will understand now
looked with it on when l tell YOU that
mother, who doesn't know much Of city
ne said 10 me: 'Bessy, that makes YOU
look SO queer. I don't know exactly the
words to express how you do look l saw
/ myself however, and l said: L will tell
/ you. mother. / look like the sort of woman
| speaks OF herself as a perfect lady"
Draw on your Imagination as to my ap

! SO l gave that vel 10 Cousin Bette, who
VIII be p her next birthday, and she looks
! loNeiy III it, Then / bought another one a
black one, with white border, and when
! put IL on the people who knew mother
and me both asked me how my daughter
was and what time 1 thought pig killing
! would be this fail"
Then We all howled, and Molly spoke:
| MY experience is that very thin black
net with tiny little dots rather close to-
| gether is the most becoming at all times
out the proper thing to do just now is
] 10 wear two veiis, one a thickly dotted
! pack one, the net being very fine, and
! me must be drawn close up over your
nat with the ends turned under and pin

De white chiffon dotted with white silk
ana TINS must be hung around your hat
! as II II were a window drapery, the ends
| being straight and loose at the back and
the whole thing Tipping and tapping with
| every breath of wind. The girls who go
to extremes wear a blue veil and then a
| brown one, and some wear a white one
and then brown one, While few girls.
| the kind who have just got home from
Paris, are wearing blue underneath and
green outside. Personally, 1 like white
and black best but of course, a gin al
| ways likes a choice i'm everything from
wells and olives to flowers and men"
The girl who was always wen dressed
and who Is fearfully good form asked if
any OF US had read the discussion as to
! Whether women were mean with money
or not 1 said 1 did not believe they
We're, because the women. who have money
| given to them do not know its value while
the women who earn 1t do know its value
| and feel pleasure in spending it, People
| talk about extravaganza Why, Mr. VII
liam Shakespeare, commonly known as
Billy" hit the nail on the head when he
said Costly thy habit as thy purse can
buy" for good stuff will stand making
over and always shows what it is, while
a cheap one bears the imprint of being
cheap and nasty.
Taking up the question of spending
money and not giving things away just
| look how generous women are when they
give their hearts, their best possessions. to
| brutes of the deepest dye! The woman is
bad spender who buys things she doesn' [
! want because they are cheap or who buys
things not suited to her age or appearance,
/ counting on their being useful some day.
| Stutts go out of fashion and are only fit
| for busters. She who buys cheap gloves,
| cheap SHOES or cheap artificial flowers
| makes herself look al cheap as they are.
| Now, there are things that are reasonable
in price which it is sensible to buy 1
| would be foolish if I paid 80 cents a yard
Tor lawn when / can get
what suits me dust as well
for Is, but I cannot get it for 4.
Yet when l go to buy a black gown l
should be more than foolish If 1 did not
| get first class broadcloth, a fine eudora
or a good serge, for then I would be GER
tain of a good color and of its wearing
well. buy my black as a famous bride
groom chose his bride, for her wearing
| qualities" There are a number of follies
! committed in the name of dress
"Bother!' said 1. 1T is a good thing
! to be foolish once in awhile, because then
| you become learned in wisdom and-and'
| -l~had just got this far when the small
est boy of the tribe was brought up in a
| semi-fainting condition, while the two pup
! pies trotted after him, wet, but happy, all
! three having tumbled into the horse
| trough. We gave the small boy brandy
while the puppies went off and lay where
! the sun blazed upon them al the rate of
| 80 degrees. But they liked it. Even the
| small boy when he had had enough BRAN
| dy said, Il nearly drownded, but I had a
| good time"
And do you know there is a lot in max
! ing a determination to have a good time
! for then you are pretty apt to get il, but
| you cannot have a good time if you find
everything a trouble and everybody dis
| agreeable
You can't have a good time if your
wardrobe is going to be first in your con-
| sideration.
You can't have a good time unless you
wake up in the morning with a smile on
your face and wear your smile all day
| long.
You can't have a good time unless yo1
are going to look out for the good times
of other people.
| You can't have a good time unless you
keep sharp lookout for the funny things
| in life.
| You can't have a good time at all any
where or with anybody, unless you have
| got a little book, a mental one, on the
first page of which is written, Make the
| best of everything"
! That is the secret of having a good time.
! l have tried it, and it is a success-it is
it is-on the word and honor of Bah.
