inconvenience in inventing something in

herself has failed in being able to do.
The emancipated woman and the wom-

the wee little mouse of a 1lomebody, all
want pockets, each a pocket, one pocket
each, and they win promise that all wom-
anhood will gain in tranquility of de-

The ideal marriage ceremony, thinks
one society woman, would be a quiet one,
with time for a good, long think before

when a girl marries she throws away all
the charming. recolfections of the past
that do not happen to be stored away
in her own heart or memory, and she
begins the new love with never single
inkling of the old ones. But 1t does not
always happen so. Woment save little

While ladies boots which are buttoned
are still of the ten and eleven button di-
mensions as formerly, there is notice
able rise in the height of lace boots. .%Won-
derfully high are the cut; not only are
they pierced for more lace holes, but these
are spaced much further apart above the
ankle. 1t does not look we'll to see the
discrepancy in spacing, but it is neces-
sary measure. Otherwise we should be
all day lacing our boots. And since long
skirts are universally worn, it does not
show above the ankle, except with a
~rainy-day'' skirt These high cut boots
are fine for wet weather. They keep the
wet edge of the skirt from slapping
against the stocking. Sometimes the boot
