bright contributions, which are, at
the same time, practical hints to the
home-staying woman. Among the
special articles ''Automobling for Men
and Women" tells the proper costume

preserve her beauty; and "a Word for
the Easter Bride" is full of good. sound
counsel to the novice in housekeeping.

one of the girls RECEIVERS from a long
illness, the two friends upon their
social lives and triumphs. They meet
many, and one especially who has had
a cruel aff1ietion, who interests one of
the girls, and the other also loses her
heart. 1t is emphatically marrying

are honest aud true. 1t is a reversion
to the healthy life, the vicious and un-
natural being wholly untouched. 1t
leads into the saner walks Of fiction,
which other authors would do well to
follow"
