Young men of the ordinary kind find
themselves let loose In a garden of pleas
ure, when they cave the paternal roof.
If they are of the leisured classes, they
enjoy absolute freedom. They come and
go as they like, and are answerable to
nobody for what they do. Their life IS
full OF charm, while they lave youth and
health to enjoy their absolute independ-
ence. When you think of it, you will
perceive that marriage entails a real sac
rifice for the young man. 1t needs the
glamour of love to make hin forego the
delights of the bachelor life.

Isn't it a pity that so many women
fail utterly in understanding and being
suitable companions to their husbands?
They do not seem able to attempt to
even pretend to take an interest in his
hobbies or pleasures, though expecting
him to be interested in their most trivial
| pursuits or domestic worries 1t is a
solemn fact that some women seem far
more taken up with the shortcomings of
their cook or housemaid than in the fact
that their husband has painted a famous
picture, or, maybe, written the book OF
the season. One such wife was heard to
| remark not long ago, concerning her hus-
bands picture:-"Faney my horror when
/ l saw that he had painted baby in a
torn p~inafore and all his broken toys at
his feet, just as If we were too poor to

All sorts of f~anciful open-fronted jack
| cts and basque-bodices are to prevail this
summer. and the dainty, sleeveless blouse
vests, tucked and lace-edged pinafores
and shirt waists provided to wear with
them cannot be counted Wash silks,
silks in India and China weaves, foulards,
shepherds checks, polka-dotted Liberty
silks and satins, hair-striped and plaid
| taffetas, surahs, ETC., are all so reasons
able in price that they are really a
!, more economical purchase than the cot
tons and linens that go weekly to the
laundry. They are cooler also, cling less
in sultry weather, are undeniably smart

than wash waists, however tempting anc
pretty in color or pattern.

Almost any kind of a bodice can be
transformed into a modish garment by
the addition of a Direetoire front. This
calls for two or three revers, one above
or below the other, each beng somewhat
cut out to show the other, and consider
able latitude of shape is allowed. a
narrow, long rever is partly overlaid by
a broad, short one or one of pretty leaf
shapes. A full jabot of lace is a reauis-
fte. The true Directoire front is seen in
stripes of two or more colors. One
stripe should be white or pearly gray.
the other supplies the contrast.
A neat and narrow edge of hemstiteh-
ing appears on some sunshades, giving it
the cachet Of novelty. A s%unshade
which is also useful in case of a sudden
shower is of gros-grain silk of blush
gray. 1t has a schoux' or cabbage ros-
cite of silk on top, from which protrudes
the tip of the ferruled rod. Another sueh
rosette of silk, but much smaller, swings
from the tassled cord on the handle.
The style of hairdressing known now as
the Vatican promises to become as pop
ular as the pompadour has been. There
is not a great difference in the two
styles. The puff of the hair in the Wat
teau is highest over the forehead, is
! somewhat irregular, and some loose curls
escape from it. A large rose or tulle
chou may be pushed into the hair above
one ear.

The hig top knot is still the most
fashionable mode of dressing the hair,
and the Partisan woman's pompadour IS
thrown well forward in an ~overhanging
puff.
u bonnets in every description are
seen in the shops and exchanges, and
there is no doubt that they are to be the

sable. Sometimes the wearer fashions
them herself, but this is no small task
and requires time and taste and skill.
Nothing could be more becoming and
picturesque than some of the lovely
combination of muslin, lace and ribbon
which are already shown. They are in
plain colors, to suit every taste. Some are
soft and dropping and others are made
on stiffened forms. They have strings
or they have not, but the strings, II
there, are unlikely ever to be tied. II

girls intends to pay some regard to her
complexion and not go hatless In the

The very best brushes should always be
