THE latest contribution on the
much discussed institution, the
home, is from the pen of Marga-
ret Sangster Her new book on
THE Little Kingdom Of Home" ad-
vances no revolutionary theories
regarding the domestic relations,
but says a good many things that are
worth remembering, as 1T follows the
bride and bridegroom from the altar
through their trials with their rela-
tives-in-law, the selection and fur
nishing of their home, their adjust
ment of their characters to each other,
the coming of children. etc, says the
New York Tribune. 1t steers a middle
course on the race suicide and do
nestle service problems, advocates a
uniform divorce law, and, while point
ing out serious dangers that threaten
the time honored institution under dis
cussion, detects elements Of hope in
the situation.
One chapter entitled Bricks With

policy of the home and the wffe's right

BUTTONS AT 500 EACH!

Extravaganza in buttons seems to
have disturbed certain minds of late,
not, as it might appear. in the number
often used as part of the trimmings
of a dress, but in their increasing cost.
That a set for blouse of half dozen
gold buttons mounted with sapphires
should have cost 800 each has struck
the superficial observer as a proof of
most lamentable recklessness in ex-
penditure. and is cited to show how
greatly prosperous the times must be
when money can be thus laid out in
accessories of the kind.
1t is perhaps overlooked, however,
says the New York Globe, that set
of buttons of such value is as much
a permanent addition to the jewel case
as brooch or a diamond comb.
At the present time a particularly
popular form for the fastening to take
is that of safety pin brooch, nearly
two inches long, at the throat, and set
with a little cluster of pearls and tur-
Quoises, a tiny enamel star or shield, OF
like device, while three others similar,
but a size smaller, are employed be-
meath at intervals.
The fashion for buttons of sufficient
value to be used again and again be-
gan probably with the sets Of half a
dozen in silver, introduced about three
years ago, and very often accompanied
by waist buckle to match. More and
more art has been expended upon them
meantime, and the jeweler has per-
ceived that a set of jeweled buttons
is simply the equivalent to the studs
which mankind has used in its shirt
fronts for a generation. Hence women
are not developing a wholly reprehen-
sible extravaganza If, instead of one
big item as a pendant or a brooch, they
select half dozen smaller ornaments
under the name of buttons.

SMART BLACK FROCK.

The black muslins are indeed de-
lightful, with their shower groups of
white spots. They are built upon chif-
fon and are worn with cambria and lace
petticoats, 80 they look wondrously
soft and lovely. White taffeta is
smarter than white muslin, a ma
terial the debutantes have allotted to
themselves, and for young and mature
alike there are muslins Of the most ex-
Quisite floral devices and colorings. Ex-
cept for their intrinsic worth, hand
painted mousselines are an unnecessary
extravaganza; the woven ones are so
exquisite.

ing, and besides this a telephone is
rugged up inside the helmet so that
while he is engaged in fighting the
flames he may be in constant communi-

suggestions and information which II
might be desirable for those outside to

Devices of this character are not un-
common, but there is none which seems
to be quite so complete as this one.
The manner in which the telephone is

his hands at all times and yet to be In
