The blouse bodice of black satin is loose
and full in front, and has a border of white
velvet embroidered like the band on the
skirt. This bolero is quite long at the back
and rounded in front, ending in two points
which meet over the chest and are connect
ed by large rosette of black velvet with a
center made of a button set with diamonds.
The bolero Is cut round at the neck, form
ing yoke of the fulled black satin of the
blouse. and is edged with a tiny ruche of
black mouSSelnc de sole.
The sleeves consist entirely of wide over
tapping tucks of black satin on tight
lining, the tucks becoming looser at the top
SO as to form slight tullness at the upper
arms and shoulders. The black satin
standing collar Is headed by u black nous
seline ruche.
With this costume Is worn little toque
of white velvet embroidered with jet and
sequins. and surrounded by full ruche of
black mousseline de sole These black
plumes stand high on one side and are
fastened with diamond agraffe.

French Women as business Helpers.


In the families where the father conducts
any business the wife becomes his best
clerk, and usually his cashier The wives
are exceedingly intelligent and acute ex-
tremcly sharp at driving bargains, and ac-
curate in keeping accounts. They are their
husbands prrtners In every sense of the
word, and at is wonderful to see how they
acquit themselves of such a multiplicity of
duties. Self is completely annihilated: and
ii weak health is mentioned 1t is never an
impediment to what they have to do for
their children or their husbands, but is
mentioned only as a dIsagreeable accom-
paniment to a necessary fatigue, without
an idea Of using it an excuse for short
comings.
