Gray linen is about the smartest
thing we can wear, though there is a
new shade between navy and butcher
blue which looks well inserted with
straps OF lace.
There is a decided fancy for that pc
culiar, khaki colored fabric known as
grass lawn. IL will have a fair run of
popularity until the end OF the sum-
mer. once a thing becomes fashiona-
bic we quickly discover its extraordi-
nary smartness. However. when adorn.
ed with some pretty embroidery OF a
lighter shade the grass lawn frock may
become very wearable. IL Is n rather
trying color and should be relieved by a
knot OF pale blue or pink crepe de chine.

TO that persons horror, she spoke in
tones of bashful curiosity. Are yez one

girl, and all the time l kept wondering

being can get into that condition. But

cause there are any number of such
people floating about. However, what
i want TO tell you about this girl is the
pretty gown she wore 1t was made Of
very coarse and almost fuzzy linen
canvas of beautiful shade of old rose.
The little Elton hung perfectly loose
from the figure, and IL was ali laid in
perpendicular tucks, as were the sleeves
down TO the elbow, where they fiared in
big puffs. The little jacket had a broad
collar of coarse string colored lace
and a broad band of applique. The
skirt was tucked almost the entire
length, and the bottom was edged with
wide applique of the lace. The wide.
crushed belt was of black panne, and
the underwaist was of sheer white CHI
ma silk and butter colored insertion.
Anything smarter 1t would be hard to
imagine.
Most OF the girls here go hatless and
wear big Alsatian bows of wide
black velvet. This ribbon is not wired.

with the loops and ends pulled out to

season, The color is pale blue. and IL il

A MODEL HUSBANDS WAY
OF REBUKING HIS WIFE.


Maria" he said as he entered the
house, speaking before his wife had
time TO say a word. this house Is in
an awful condition.
Why, Henry she began.

but / refrained for fear that the house
would be just in the condition that

IF you had sent word, Henry"
Sent word, Maria, Why should
have to send word? Why should any
one who claims TO be a housekeeper
have to be notified so that she can
scurry about and make things look re-
spectacle? And that gown, Maria! It's
outrageous TO be dressed in that fash
ion at this time of day"
Il could have changed it,
"oh, of course. You could have done
lots of things. but you didn't. You
should be ready to entertain your hus-
bands friends at any time. i suppose
the dinner is cold too"
It's not so good as 1t was. You're
late, you know"
"Of course, and IL had brought my
friend with me he'd have had to sit
down to cold dinner or one that was
burned TO a cinder. and we should have
both felt humiliated and should have
had TO apologize. II isn't right. Maria!
IL isn't right at ALL"
Really. Henry. ] am sorry that you
are so much annoyed"
We'll. wish you would try to do
little better. It's very annoying, very
annoying"
And when he had settled himself in
his armchair after dinner he chuckled
TO himself and muttered:
by George, but i should have got
roasting for being late II I hadn't start
ed in first It's great scheme. Guess
I'll tell the fellows at the club"
