WOMAN'S MODEST VOCATION.
The Making and Keeping of n sunny,
CHEEKY Home Should Bcn
source of Pride.

Good housekeeping is easy house
keeping, and if a woman wears. herself
into shreds and tatters keeping house
the case is proven against her. II is pre-
ciscly in her ability to guard against
this contingency that the housewife
shows herself not only good eXecu-
tive officer, but as well a woman with
ideals and sense Of proportion-one
who does not forget that housekeeping
is means to homemaking, not an end
in itself-that the most perfect admin
.stration of domestic matters will not
make a family happy in whom the love
and spirit of home do not dwell Home
not only place TO eat and sleep and
work in, but place to be happy in, Il
place to rest in and to be soothed, a
place in which to love and be loved, a
place for condolences, and counsel, and
strengthening words, and hope, and
heartening, 1t is a good thing, and a
noble thing and a satisfying thing to
be good housckeepcr; there is no pro-
fession of which and in which a woman
can be so proud, and when so blessed
in head and heart and hand as to be
able to make and keep one of those real
homes which is little sunny spot Of
green in the great desert of the world'
if there is anything better than this
in life have not yet found it.--Hclcn

THE "PULL-BACK" SKIRT.
Again Coming to he The Fashion to
Wear Under CiinEing
skirts

The skin-tight skirt, known Is years
ago as the "pull-back,' is coming into
fashion again. The clinging skirt has
worked its way into favor gradually,
and now il is declared to be the correct
skirt of the day, When it was here be-
fore in its most extreme style it was
whispered that the bellies of fashion
even went so far as to dampen their un-
derskrts in order that the outer skirt
might portray more perfectly the con-
tour of the figure. But the modern
belle win not have to submit to damp
and chilly lingerie, for a new under
garment has just been designed which
$ warranted not to hide a single curve
of the figure.
This new undergarment is made of
finely ribbed woven silk The upper
part of it looks not unlike jersey, only
it is much longer. 1t is pulled out in
the same way, over the head, and clings
to the figure. This sheath Of woven silk
| reaches as far as ten inches below the
| hips. Here it is finished with band
of coarse mesh lace insertion, through
which ribbons are run, which are tied
at the back, drawing the garment close
| ly to the figure. To this band of lace
| insertion a silk tlounce is attached,
| which is now all that remains of the
ultra fashionable womans once cher
ished silk pettcoat, With this remark
| able undergarment the outer sheath
| like dress skirt may be seen to advan-
tage in all its clinging beauty These
garments may be purchased in a va
iiety of colors, and by their trimmings
of lace and ribbons may be made eN-
qusitely dainty. A prominent society
woman has Just ordered a half dozen of
these undergarments in different pref
ty colors. One to be worn beneath gray
Venetian cloth gown is of pale violet
woven silk, cut with low, round neck,
which is trimmed with a frill of lace
caught in the center with rosette of
shaded violet baby ribbon. The same
narrow ribbon is run through the in
sertion near the knees. The silk
Gounce is of deep violet peau de sole
trimmed with two ruffles of the same
silk, which are appliqued with bands
of narrow mauve >elyet.-N. Y. Jour
