modern woman's books of ac-
counts. Why, IL a woman Is thoroughly
fitted out with all the little books that are
provided for her everyday use, and If she
keeps them correctly she will have almost
as much clerical work as if she were
drawing a salary.
There's her housekeeping book, which is
perfectly Indispensable 1t shows her out
lay for kitchen and nursery and service
of all sorts, when wages We're paid, when
accounts were paid and when they are
due. the estimated outlay for furnishing
refurnishing, etc, various rooms in the
country or town house. One can easily see
that the housekeeping book is needed by
every woman of medium circumstances who
does rot employ a housekeeper
Then there's the menu book by the care
ful Keeping of which she escapes having
the same thing twice in too short time.
This book also enables her to make IN
menus easily by referring to past seasons.
thus securing new combinations from the
same dishes. 1t also should show her the
prices OF different dinners, luncheons etc
SO that she could tell just how much this
item of her entertainment cost her and
how much II amounted to beyond the ordi-
nary food outlay. The laundry book is of
course, one of the most primitive, and is
Il.
unless he or she wishes to live in q state
of blissful ignorance as to how much or
how little of his wearing apparel is at any
given time at his disposal. The housewife
really needs two laundry books-one for
personal and one for household accounts
Equally important is the calling book
This shows lists of callers and presents an
accurate statement to who has and who
has not been paid off In large acquaint-
ance no woman who wishes TO be popular
can exist comfortably without a calling
book. Some one is sure to be overlooked
quite unintentionally, unless the accounts
of large acquaintance are faithfully bali
anced.
Not to be confused with the calling book
Is the guest book. This refers not to calls
but to entertaining on a larger scale In
1t are written the names of those who are
to be guests over Sunday or fortnghtly, for
weeks in advance. AS invitations are ac-
cepted or declined or postponed records are
the names OF guests for dinners teas and
other entertainments, and the names OF
those to whom some invitation is owing.
The careful hostess also enters In this book
any items of moment which occur to her
before entertainments come off and which
she wishes to remember at the time.
There Is another kind of a guest book
which is sort of register and in which
guests at some houses are asked to inscribe
their names. But this book is of course
more for entertainment and to be kept as
a souvenir than anything else. Ii has lit
tie practical value.
The brides book, or wedding guest book, |
Is of similar character. 1t is all elaborate

of the guests at wedding. The book Is

Above these two pockets is another long

,6IAGKCHIfON TEA GOWN.

~ EA gowns seem to be quite as neces-
sary in the summer outfit as In the
winter one and although the out
Il lines are the same. there must, of
course, be some difference In the
general effect and in the materials that are
used. As time goes on tea gowns grow
more and more beautiful. until the enor-
nous sums asked for them seem very lit
tie in comparison with their beauty: and
after all. when such costly materials are
employed and such qualities of handwork
are necessary the cost is not so excessive

often spends more on her tea gowns than

sensible In so doing. contending that there
IS no gown In the entire wardrobe that
shows to such advantage. Certainly a wo-
man never looks prettier than when gownei
