with full. unlined bodice, it can be sup
plemented by black, white, green, blue or
sny other colored skirt, with bodice Innings
to match and vests Of different nature,
which will make the gowns assume a to-
tally different appearance.
1t Is not SO important to have many
dresses as that whatever you do have is
exactly up to date and well made and be-
coming In evening dresses especially the
removable long sleeves to low bodices, the
movable chemisette which makes them
high. and fchus. II we'll put on, are greatly
conducive to elaboration of the toilet.
The white lace bodices, which can be
worn with almost any skirt, having long
sleeves and an open square front. are es-
sentially smart, too. and the long basquei
Louis XIV lace coats. which as yet have
only been worn by the leading women Of
fashion.
They have a great deal to recommend
them; also lace boleros, both black and

Tie Your Latchkey Round Your Neck

From the Springfield Homestead.
This one is on a resident Of Princeton
street He went to sleep on his own door
step and had difficulty in explaining mat
tiers to the satisfaction Of a patrolman. who
desired his company to the police station.
It seems that the victim Is an ardent dis
ciple Of Izaak Walton, with a strong pen
chant for trout brooks and fish stories.
He had arranged to go with neighbor
on this particular morning and he arose
before dawn. In fact, 1t was earlier than
he had intended, but this he failed to dis
cover until. dressed in his old clothes, dis
reputable as all honest ffshermen's outfits
are, he had stepped outside the door. Then
as he listened to the click Of the night latch
he bethought him to look at his watch He
was an hour earlier than the time agreed
upon, and his night key was In his other
clothes. He would sit 1t out on his porch
winked at him and blinked at him. and
presently 1t seemed to him they leered at
him. The night wind murmured drowsily.
Presently he was fishing, excitedly landing
a whopper, and he had not moved from his
own doorstep. An all-night car ratified UP
Catherine street and through Princeton.
An officer of the law held down seat and
saw that no unsteady steps went astray.
and the officers helmet rose up on the
ends of his hair. A disreputable looking
burglar was before him. Alone. unaided,
he would make capture. He stole up the
walk on tiptoe. The sleeper smiled: he hal
landed four-pounder How he pulled!
He was hauling him into the brook! He
opened his eyes: the grip Of the law was
upon him. 1t took much persuasive elo-
uuence and perspiration to convince the
patrolman that everything was all right.
There was now light in his neighbours
kitchen. The victim decided to go over.
He did so. He looked In at the window
and saw the servant girl getting his friends
breakfast. The servant girl caught
glimpse Of him peeping in at the window
in to soothe her. His neighbor. sleeping
calmly, forgetful that he was going fishing,
was awakened by the sound OF voices In the
kitchen. His servant girl must be enter

LAVENDER AND LINEN.
One of the Comforts of q BygOne
Day.

One of the Comforts of q Bygone
From the London Express.
One looks vainly In the modern garden
for that sweet lavender corner which
was the special care Of our grandmothers.
1t is only In a very oId-time garden that
the lavender bush is allowed to grow apace.
Up-to-date gardeners call it "a weed,;' and
ruth,essly root 1t up from the little nook
where 1t and its forbears have hourished
for two or three centuries. Nowadays we
buy our lavender desiccated by machinery,
In machine-stitched bags, made by con-
tract, at the stores.
The old-fashioned woman cultivated the
lavender bushes herself and sewed up the
sweet sprigs in homemade little spotted
muslin bags. She dried the flowers in the
sun, set aside the largest and finest to make
dainty, fragrant baths for her baby, and
laid her linen in lavender with house
wifely hands.
This delicious homegrown lavender dried
out of doors is not in the least like that
in the modern bags We buy at the chem
lists shop.
Machine made lavender loses most of its
fragrance in the factory. A few sprtgs of
home-prepared lavender put among the
winter clothing are strong enough to keep
all moths from a wardrobe. But the mod
ern moth Is wise enough to Scorn the mod
ern lavender
A dozen fowery heads scalded with a
teacupful of boiling water is a delicious and
refreshing addition to bath. 1t would take
a pound of bought sprigs to produce the
same result
The Joy of sleeping between lavender
scented sheets is rare Indulgence only
met with in few old-fashioned houses.
For housewives Of today do not love their
linen as our dear old grandmothers did,
who had spun every thread of 1T themselves.
There was a great deal Of charm about
the life Of an otd-time country housewife
with her lavender and her homespun linen.
She grew crops Of roses for the tall pot
pourri jars which ornamented her parlor,
and with still-room skill produced her per-
fumes-delicious tea rose scents and laven-
der water from flowers Of her own growing.
Nowadays woman's housewifery is
largely condensed into writing out COM
pIete stores list.
Doubtless in the near future bridegroom
will order a house on wheels. ready furnish
ed as per estimate, from universal con-
tractor.
1t will be stocked with linen and lavender
water-by contract at so much head for
each of the family. And it will be dread
fully uninteresting, but thoroughly up to
date.
