She wasn't extravagantly dressed.
You all probably have dresses very
much on the same order.
She wore pretty, well-fitting cloth
skirt, dainty white wash waist and
a white straw hat with pale blue
coque plumes.
That all sounds very simple. does
it not?
The costume suited to perfection
Mrs. Ladenburgs earnest, sweet, I'M
affected face. Her hair was drawn
back in soft waves from her brow
no hard, shiny or untidy pompadour
disfigured her.
Her dress, though simple, was put
on with the greatest care. There was
not one single conspicuous item about
her entire costume.
If you would be popular, girls, bear
in mind that nothing takes better
than simplicity, freedom from affecta-
ton and neatness.
The beauty of neatness is a beauty
that no girl can afford to despise.
Some of the present-day fashions
are not especially neat, and they hap
pen to be styles that appeal much to
the soul of woman.
But they are styles that require
to be modelled of the very best ma
terial.

HOW TO FIT A SLEEVE

The long shoulders Of the moment
sometimes give a lot Of trouble to the
amateur dressmaker- The correct way
to fit them is to put the underpart in
first Tack the full portion of the
sleeves into small plaits and make
them perfectly Mt the size of the arm
hole. The effect is prettier if the plaits
are IoOsened after the bolero is fitted,
but if desired they can be left stitched
for a few inches from the armhole.
There are many devices for obtaining
the long shoulder effect without actu-
ally cutting the long seam, which Is
so difficult For example, embroidery
and lace can be arranged so as to have
the points running down over the top
OF the arm and this will be found very
effective

ABOUT WHITE GLOVES.

The digits are treated to new shades
in coverings and the wearing Of white
gloves is on the wane- They are SUI
perseded by very pale gray and light
tans, worn with the modish elbow
sleeves, even when the costume is white
or of some pale color.
One is rather inclined to deplore the
passing of the white glove. for in sum-
mer or winter they gave such festive
air to a somber toilet and then femi-
ninity will have no excuse for the dom
ming of slightly soiled gloves Her old
excuse in the case of the white glove
was. Just look. my dear, at these
soiled gloves. and it's the second time
I've worn theml" This plea was lovely,
was convenient, but tits past

MATRIMONIAL RIGHTS.

Without inviting discussion of this
thorny question, 1 may say, writes La
bouchere in London Truth, that my
own opinion is-supposing anybody
wants it-that husbands rights are
what he can get. My view of wife's
rights is the same. Whether it is wise
for either party to get all that he Cor
she) can is question of expediency, to
be decided according to circumstances
and individual inclination. The govern
ing principle of the situation is that
when two people ride the same horse
one must ride behind. The question,
therefore, Whenever a conflict of rights
arises, is whether the front seat is
worth fighting about and, if so, how
long and how hard.

SHOPPING TRAITS.

A London paper quotes shopgirl as
saying that the English woman can gen.
orally be persua6 l to take this or
that whether she wants it or not and
that she does not often see that she
gets value for her money. The English
are also courteous and considerate. 1t
appears that Americans, on the other
hand, give the greatest trouble of all;
they are afraid of being cheated, they
want to make sure before they buy that
they could not get the same thing for
less money elsewhere and they are
never courteous. As shoppers, it is
French women, however, who command
the greatest admiration, we are told.
They always know exactly what they
want and will take nothing else.

PICTURE B0NNETS.

There are some sweet, plump, rosy
faced women. moving down sunny
slope just the other side Of middle llfe'
who will rejoice exceedingly over the
new fashion for old-fashioned bonnets-
They have been yearning for the re-
vival of this pretty headgear and may
now find it in various styles in exhibits
of Paris millinery.
But this years bonnets are not
wholly for these peaceful ladies VINO
walk in pleasant places Bonners are
in vogue again for various occasions,
for theaters, for concerts, for visiting,
for all times when a huge picture hat
would seem out Of place.

There are some who love you well;
So that when nights shadows creep
You can. smiling. slip asleep.
Good night. mamma. papa. too
One more day they've lived FOR yous
One more day OF JOY - done.
One more night OF peace Is won
Now the shadows round US sweep
You can. smiling. slip asleep.

Yes. you've had a happy day
CHEEKY work and gladsOrne play;
And as darkness gathers deep
You can. smiling-s-l-i-p-a

D0NTS FOR FALL.


Don't catch cold.
Don't arrogantly pooh-pooh
your neighbor because he tells
you he is wearing his winter I'M
derwear, and boast of not having
yet done so when you know that
you wear the same winter and
summer.
Don't sleep with your head out
side the window if there's a
draught.
Don't proclaim your habit of
never wearing an overcoat when
the thermometer is below zero.
People will only call you a liar
behind your back.
Don't kick at the janitor for be-
ing dilatory in supplying steam
heat. He is to be Modified, not
prosecuted. Go and play freeze
out somewhere else.
Don't curse Thanksgiving and
Christmas days. Granted they
are nuisances. yet a cheerful out
ward aspect has been known to
meet with pecuniary guerdon.-

BULL CHE VS. TOBACCO

The London News is responsible for
this: The donkey who was connois-
seur in tobacco must look to his laur-
els. In Aden," says a correspondent,
Il once saw young Somali bull that
not only chewed lighted cigarettes but
also washed this meal down with half
pint of neat rum. Tommy (the bulls
nance was the property of Captain
Craig, the skipper of the local steamer
Falcon. He was liked on board and
was, despite his dissipated habits, a
great favorite with the native crew."

ON cOURTSHIP

Don't forget that while you are max
ing love to a face you will live with a
mind
Before you quarrel always stop to
consider whether you can afford it.
Promise as much as you can perform.
and as much more as she would like
you to.
Love is disease. See to it that you
have an incurable case.

aisle.-The Twentieth Century Home.

Ihat was the united answer
of half a dozen men to whom there
was put the question, How do you
like to see a girl dress?" says a
writer in the Pittsburg Press.
They were all men who knew what
they were talking about, and whose
opinion was worth paying attention to.
There is nothing so pretty and
smart on a girl" said one Of them,
as shirt waist suit. 1t always looks
so ship-shape and neat"
OF course, you may not all care for
shirt waist suits; this is merely men
toned as an example and suggestion.
There are many styles that are equally
simple and neat.
You have all heard about Mrs. La
denburg, the beautiful young society
woman who is a reigning belle both

marked, DO you see that young
woman in the white waist? Well,
that is Mrs. Ladenburg, the great
belle"

WELLS.

Wells are so persistently worn that
they have really become part of the

experienced hand could.
