strips are set in with one or two folds
in them, to permit expansion as the en-
l velopes are filed. The upper edges may
be caught together also by narrow fold
ed strips at the corners. A simple cover
may be fashioned to bind the envelopes
into a volume. If a chool of art is rep
resented, each envelope should bear the
name of the artist of that school, and
the copies of his pictures will be placed
within, and some clippings which give a
short biography of himself should be in
cluded.
There are many girls (who, by the
way, are exceedingly happy, whose mar
ried life is one long study of the science
of economy, with its various branches of
ways and MEANS and how to make
two ends meet and THE possibility Of

There is not, however, the study of
economy in money matters alone, but

economy of time and the economy of

our future dwelling place, we women,
one and all, ave the same intense desire
to make our homes as beautiful and
pleasant to look upon as it lies in our
power to do.
Unless one can afford to keep plenty
of domestics it is well to avoid furniture
that has much carving upon it. Simple
decorative designs nave a better bred
air about them, and, what is more i'm
%portant, are much easier to make clean
and keep so. Nothing looks worse than
little gray heaps of dust accumulated in
difficult corners of an deliberately orna-
mented piece of woodwork. especially if
it belongs to the cheap and common order
Of things.
It does not follow by any means that
furniture must be costly to be beauti-
full, but it is well when purchasing to re-
member that it is not only the amount
of money paid that constitutes saving
Therefore one must exercise the greatest
discretion.
Crowding rooms with furniture is not
only assign of bad taste, but it is posi-
lively unhealthy. All the space taken up
by chattels means so much less air for
breathing purposes.
Women are loath to let a charming idea
pass, even if it is to be brought out again,
surely, when its season returns.
Perhaps that is the reason we are cow

Seriously speaking, there could be no
more delightful hint towards theatre
headgear than these chiffon bonnets.
They are direct copies of the brilliant
linen pokes used on the ''faire greene in
a more perishable material.

your friend who COLTS; copy it implicitly
in chiffon over a frame and you will nave
in hand the most fashionable of headwear
for opera going.
Chiffon of all colors and all tints is
used with delightful effect. If your even
ing wrap be of turquoise blue, have the
bonnet of blue also. If the cloak Is of
scarlet or pink or orange or primrose or
sea green or violet, arrange your head
wear accordingly. (.
1t is only in the ~wearing-the poise
rather-that a chiffon poke differs from
the chint original. For the brim of the
former is not worn over the eyes. 1t is
tilted back and attached to the crown.
TIKI strings-a most enchanting point in
these most enchanting affairs-are attach
ed to the back Of the bonnet and are
thrown back, being allowed to sweep
down between ones shoulders.
With Christmas so near at, hand. many
of us are anxious to know Of something
inexpensive and yet useful which VIC can

ty handkerchief receiver may De made of
a handkerchief of ordinary size, with a
pretty edge, folded over an eight-inch
square made of silk and interlined with
sheet wadding which has been busted
with sachet powder. The handkerchief is
folded in such a way that the four cor
ners meet when put over the padding. The
points are then turned back to the edge,
and small r~osettes of ribbon are placed
between the points to hold the edges tc-

Another handkerchief case can be made
of blue duck and lined with white China
silk. This should be cut ten inches wide
and fourteen inches long. ana is also JIM
terlined with sheet wadding busted with
sachet powder. When the edges are
finished off neatly, the case should be
folded in half and tackled invisibly at the
folded edges. A small spray of flowers or
a onogram embroidered on the top adds
