L wonder what has become of the many
writer's who used to delight in ridiculing
the woman who could never refrain from
casting a look into any mirror which
came in. her way? ponders an observing
woman. Have they come to a realization
that the women are not alone in that
little vanity, and that the few members
of either sex who are free from it are
frumps? Who is the woman whose hatsis
never properly adjusted? She who scorns
The mirror. Who is the man with his era
vat gravitating toward the left ear? Prob
ably he wrote whitening things upon
the subject of feminine vanity. All the
mirror is our best friend, and if we con-
suited it more faithfully from every point
of view, some of us would present a bet
ter appearance. There would be no UNI
tidy back hair, sagging skirts and yawn-
ing skirt openings. Is the desire to look
ones best only vanity? Or is it other
things, like tidiness, etc.?
Marriage without love may be endur
able, but marriage without friendship is
intolerable. a y "Woman's Home Com
panion.'' And if a man and woman nave
no mutual tastes n habits, friendship
and even love itself will languish. Even
the best and truest love loses with youth
its first fire and fervor, but with mental
and moral kinship a better, saner, purer
love is built on the ashes of the first.
This love is made up of affection, friend
ship, comradeship, trust, and ~peryading
all this a tender sentiment growing out of
the dear memories of long ago.
The latest fancy is for two kinds of fur.
applied together even in a small collarette
or muff. The mastic or yellow tinged
furs are in high favor. 1t is said this col
or is achieved by a skillful dyer's process.
Some new furs have a yellow finish which
when blown aside reveals the soft white
pelt beneath. A shoulder cape with
hooked stole ends, which really form a
complete waistcoat in front, is of this yell
low tinged fur, with rather long hair. 1t

front. square toward the shoulders, but
dropping in q star point low over the
breast. The fur muff matches the warm
shoulder pieces. 1t has a strip of inser-
lion of ermine and border of yellowisn
fur. The cape has a high storm collar.
In an American school for girls in one
of the cities of Asia Minor, after a re-
cent lecture by the teacher on hygiene
and dress, the following synopsis of the
lectures salient points was given by a
young Greek girl, who had evidently
law: Usually the dresses must be vast.
but shapely, so that the organs of the body
may be able to move freely. The new

male gender desires to make her belt
thin. They tighten the corset SO that the
organs of the body are in anxiety and the
circulation of the blood is in great trouble,
and for this reason very many persons
nave lost their lives in their younger age,
because very many sicknesses come for
ward for this reason. Also the stockings

| body. We must not keep clean only our
body, but our mind. heart, dresses, every
thing"
Here is an Invaluable hint for those
who contemplate buying ready-made
shirts:-Take your exact back measure

Madame de Sevigne, we are told, kept
young in appearance and lively-witted on

feetly candid, reckless and incessant eat

youthful in appearance, cheerful, active
and generally attractive, plain living and
high thinking must be our portion. In

A pleasant drink at luncheons, where
women do not drink wine, is made from
orange Juice treated with fruits. The
iuice is served in tall glasses and is I'm.
diluted. Into each glass is dropped foui
slices of banana, a Tokay grape cut and
seeded, a slice from a tart apple, and 9
pinch of sugar.
The drink, of course, is intended to be
slipped through the courses and may be
the only one served. A preserved cherry

pretty fruit can be used.
