they Have Long courtships in Norway

They Have Long Courtships in Norway!
Norwegian weddings are almost al.
ways celebrated at the close of short
Scandinavian summer, season which
the industrious Norsemen find too
short in which to work, and from
which they would never dream of TAX
ing the days that are necessary for
the long-drawn-out festivities of the
Morse wedding. Sc the maidens who
are wooed all the year round are u.s.
TALLY welded at the beginning Of win
ter. Norwegian wooings are very
frank and very long ADDING. On sum-
Mer Sundays the lanes, the highways
and byways are ateem with lovers.
Each couple saunters slowly along, not
in the least shy. his arm about her
shoulders, her arm about his waist.
Nor do they untwine their arms if
they pause little to chat with friends,
not even if they stop to speak with
casual acquaintances. Ten or dozen
years often elapse between the first
day Of courtship and the day of mar
riage, while a seven-years' betrothal
is considered of very moderate length.

Boys Shirt waist.

Plain shirt waists, with comfortable
turnover collars are necessary to
every boys wardrobe. This satisfac-
tory model is shown in percale, white
with stripes of blue, but is suited to
all washable shirtings and to both
flannel and fiannelette.
The waist fits smoothly across the
shoulders, and is arranged in gathers
at the waist line, where there is an
applied belt to which buttons are
sewed by means of which the trousers
are held in place. The sleeves are in
regulation shirt style with straight
cuffs and openings finished with over
laps. At the neck is a turnover col.
lar which can, however, be omitted
and the neck finished with the neck
band, to which separate collars can be
attached, when preferred.

years of age one and seyen-eighth

So early in the morning?
What, but the splendid Christmas tree,
With all its gay adjoining!

Fine dollies by the dozens,
And toys and sweet stuff, cats and mice
For brothers, sisters, cousins.

When Christmas bells are ringing,
And dance in glee around the tree

of a collar of fur with an inner one

A Deep Collar

One Of the prettiest separate collars
is yoke deep, has a stock and is made
of white broadcloth. In addition to
liberal sprinkling of French knots done
in black there's an applique design in
black velvet. These pieces, that may
be had ready made, are great help
to the amateur dressmaker.

A millinery Novelty.

A millinery novelty is a wreath OF
magnolia blossoms in alternate black
and white, with slightly decayed
leaves. Realism could hardly be ex-
pected to go further than the decayed
leaves, but rose spray, with unmis-
taxable thorns, sharp enough to bring
the blood, is just step beyond.
