The ola Fashioned wife.

A pretty, young married woman said
to friend the other day: MARY is
such an old fashioned wife. She has
such queer notions about her duty to
her husband and home. Why, she de-
clines all Invitations unless he is in
Guided and never under any circum-
stances is away from home when he re-
turns at night.
"Then she always gets up to break
fast with him and even goes so far as
to prepare certain favorite dishes for
him instead of leaving such business to
the cook. She does not go away in the
summer until he is able to go, too, and,
in fact. she fuses over him in the most
absurd fashion"
After the pretty creature had van
ished to join party of friends at din
ner a reflective mood stole over the
friend, and she thought how much bet
ter it would be if there were more old
fashioned wives.

brides should have the monopoly of all
the wedding finery. Now, why should
not the poor bridegroom have a trous-
seau. too, if his fancy runs that way,
and display 1t, too, for the admiration
of his bachelor friends? Most reforms
come if only one has patience to wait
for them. and this not unreasonable re-
form is already on its way to us on
this side of the pond. Only the other
day a wealthy young Partisan groom
elect spent $4,000 on his trousseau-
There were suits for every occasion
four dressing gowns of the softeSt Silk
a dozen pajamas of the costliest india
silk, dress shirts, negligees, shaving
jackets. bath robes and three poker
coats trimmed with silver buttons,
which probably later may be exchanged
for coin of the realm. And there was
an endless array of jewelry, shoes and
neckwear. This candidate for matfi-
monial honors was as proud of his new
clothes as any bride of her miracles of
lace, embroidery and silks.
In the trousseau of the bride men
toned were some stunning outdoor gar
ments, among them a three quarter
collarless fur coat, a sable cape and
the most modish kind of a long, deep.
rich red cloth coat with a stunning col
lar and revers of mink.
The hats were attractive without
pretty one was a tricorne of corded
black panne velvet simply trimmed with
chic little cockade of green and cream
colored ribbon. Speaking of fur re-
minds me that there are a number OF
different styles in which the fur stoles
of the day are worn. You may tie them
at the back or side and front either
loosely or tight, with one end falling
down the front-just as fancy dictates
and you are bound to be in accord
with Dame Fashion. These ties are a
little different from last season, the
furrier having exerted himself to i'm
prove upon the ordinary fiat shape.
Some have small turned over collars
which fit close around the throat and
finish with long ends falling from be-
meath them, gradually widening as they
reach the base. Others are made in the
form of double stoles, the lower ones
being broader than the upper. Still an
other style has a stand up collar with
wide ears resembling bow.

The comfort of the short skirt has ap-
pealed directly to the interests of
womanhood. Many of the models are
made with stitched plaits, resembling a
gored skirt but they stand out well at
the foot, the plaits being caught down
more in front than at the back, treat
ment becoming to the figure. Goats of
medium length, with one seam in front
from the shoulder to the hem of the
coat, outlining the figure without being
tight fitting. accompany the short skirt.
They are close fitting at the sides and
the back and have either narrow vel
vet or silk collars and cuffs. Loose sack
coats are worn with many of the cheviot
gowns, and tailors have been doing
well with wolfe and mohair dresses, the
bodice lined with glace silk and the
skirt with Indian silk. Many of the
gowns now making are cheviots of light
weight made up in severely simple
style. Never were so many cloth wraps
in demand, made with semifitting coat
with wide sleeves and deep collar and
the fronts so made that they can be
turned back, showing a lining of flow
cred silk, which can be completely hid
den or allowed to show when it is very
dressy. There are a good many jacket
effects in tailor made gowns. but it is
better to have a veritable Jacket and
blouse beneath. Many of them have
chemisettes or Jokes with collars at
tached, and they are Just as warm as an
unlined blouse.

In spite of the craze for color, the

lends itself to the graceful lines and

well as black. The simplicity of our

bright hued cloths which all make to-
