gives any advantages to a man may ex-
pect lover but will sooner or later
find a tyrant; and this is not the man
fault, either, perhaps, but is the neces-
sary and natural result of the circum-
stances OF society which in fact tyran-
niZes over the man equally with the
woman. that is to say if either OF them
have any feeling or honor.
have always laid it down as maxim
and found it justified by experience
that a man and a woman make far bet
ter friendship than can exist between
two of the same sex; but these with
this condition, that they never have
made or are to make love with each
other, Lovers may be, and indeed gen
orally are, enemies, but they never can
be friends; because there must always
be a spice of jealousy and a something
of self in all their speculations.
Indeed rather look upon love, al
together, as q sort of hostile transac-
ton, very necessary to make or break
matches and keep the world going, but
by no means a sinecure to the parties
concerned. We shall be the
best of friends and with this advantage,
that we may both fall to loving right
and left through all our acquaintance
without either sullenness or sorrow,
from that aniable passion which are it's
inseparable attendants"
Separate waists which will rival
those of two years ago viii be in vogue
this spring. Elaborate lingerie waists
viii be worn with every sort of rich
spring suit, for church, afternoon
teas, for Lenten lectures and mu-
sicales, for petites visftes and for end
less house party occasions.
OF course. there are times when the
| "entire dress is preferred. for dinners
formal and informal. for formal
luncheOns, for receiving at home, all
manner of smart receptions, opera,
etc, but in the ordinary walks of life
where the jacket suit is worn the shirt
waist and the lingerie waist are not
only convenient but extremely good
form.
/ For morning the severest, most con-
ventional model of tailor shirt waist
4 viii be worn, but except for shopping,
/ business, sports and marketing the
! fancier suit waists will be most seen
1 and they are charming to a degree in
! the new designs; trimmed or embroid-
/ cred, in colOrs or white, and usually
i Of the most lacy, expensive materials.
But few all-OVeT lace waists are
seen, although lace is used profusely
/ in trimming a variety of fabrics.
! Where lace is used entirely it is draped
/ over chiffon and trimmed with shirred
puffs of chiffon and chiffon flowers SO
that very largely the effect OF mere
lace is lost.
But as a rule, except in some novel
| elaborate conception, the lace waist is
not de rigueur. She materials prefer
red are plain chiffon. nousseline, silk
DaG1Ste, silk d4Tnlty. Persian lawn. jap
anese gauze, liberty chiffon, chiffon
raw silk. crepe de chine, Korean crepe
Shantung poplin, and every sort Ct
fine silk transparent fabric on the
market.
A fine silk organdie is new and g
soft crepe organdie and silk and cot
ton illusions plain and with every va
riety OF Pompadour and Dresden fig
ures, also satin striped and satir
brocaded.
But even more fashionable thar
these fancy materials are the pIair
grounds embroidered by hand or car.
