the following is a good illustration: A

The Secret Of DRESSING.


This is very pretty either in medium
gray or in one of the delightful new
shades of coppery brown. Whatever
your design is, don't overload it with
trimming. and if the amount you have
to spend is small buy this costume
ready made. A three piece costume,
composed of a coat and skirt and a
waist of dyed lace to match, is ultra
smart and fit for most informal ocea-
sions. Of course your hat must match.
That is the secret of being we'll dressed.
Don't mind about making it go with
your other costumes. Think only of
making this one a success If you have
no more money for anything else, well
and good. You will at least have one
costume smart and complete. II you
have more money later on, why, then
you can invest in the second gown,
with its hat to match.
This should be of a design suitable
either for afternoon OF evening wear.
1t can have a Dutch neck with de-
tachable collar and elbow puffs into
which lace undersleeves can be pinned.
Choose a color that is becoming in both
evening and daylight, and as for the
material either silk crepe de chine, taft
feta or, best of all, wolfe, can be used.
Fine cloth is also extremely fashion
able, but it is also expensive.
You may think the woman who
chooses white gown for her afternoon
and evening gown is extravagant, but
she is not. White can be made up in
cheaper material. 1t can be worn all
the year round, and it cleans better
than any other known tint. The clean

The Married Male EIirt.


1t is a melancholy but absolutely true
fact that most married men don't carry
off the role with a graceful air. If they
are good they are so good that it gives
you a depressed feeling, much the same
sort that you have when you see a man
holding his breath in order to float
when he is naturally heavy by nature,
with a pronounced inclination for going
down. When a married man is good he
is too good He becomes positively
stupid, and he always has an air of re
straint about him. as If he were bound
hand and foot with all the Ten Com
mandments. But when a married man
has decided to be as if he were not
married-in a word, natural-that is
when his condition becomes depIorabIe.
BY some fatality, instead of picking
out a feminine prisoner of matrimony
like himself he rushes gayly off in the
direction of the young girls. They ig-
more him and treat him with scant
courtesy, for the main business of life
with them is getting married, and he is
a package, so to speak, from which the
prize has already been extracted.

prove them true.

heard her speak last winter to a New
York audience. She is a beautiful wo-
man in the perfect prime of life. Her
face beams with a radiance of intelli-
gence, earnestness and kindness. She
has strong convictions and speaks them
out calmly and sincerely without a
thought of whether Mrs Grundy likes
them or not. To say what one honestly
thinks to be true-what else is there to
do? And her utterances, spoken in q
clear, strong, perfectly cultivated voice
cannot help having an influence deep
and wide.
DR.. Thomas carries her noble indie
pendence and individuality even into
matters of dress. She was beautifully
gowned-would have. been counted
stylish" even in New York. Yet, truly
as you live. that dress of hers had a
pocket in it, deep enough, too, to hold
her manuscript as we'll as various 9TH
er articles. Again, the average woman
would have bedraggled herself out upon
that platform with a long, dust gath
ering train of hampering dry goods
around her feet. Not so NJ Carey
Thomas. Her skirt, rich in material,
perfectly made, was at least two inches
above the floor.
So she stood before us, a radiant pic
ture of health, handsome, learned,
broad minded and warm hearted,
graceful tastefully costumed, the per-
feet type of the new woman now slowly
but splendidly evolving.
Thomas mentions the difficulties that
beset would be college woman even
so late as her own schooldays, thirty
years ago. She was born of Quaker
parentage in Baltimore in 1857. AS
soon as she was old enough to think
she determined to secure a college ed
ucation.
She says: II was born with a desire
to go to college and afterward to a
German university. It seems to me in
looking backward as if the world had
been full of persons born to prevent
me- But my desire to go was so over
whelming that everything had to give
way before it,
Against a desire like that not even an
army Of old fogy relatives and friends
could stand. The girl with the over
Whelming desire for knowledge went to
Cornell university. where she was grad
uated in 1877. Then she knocked at
the door of the great Johns Hopkins
university in her own city of Baltimore.
The generous gift of $4,000 from Miss
Mary E. Garrett of Baltimore opened
the doors of Johns Hopkins university
to girls in so far as obtaining degrees
went. Mary Carey Thomas entered
the Baltimore university as a student
of languages
Not yet, though. she found, were girls
allowed to have full matriculant privi-
leges. They were not permitted to en-
ter the classes with men students, but
must get their knowledge outside as
best they might. The high spirited girl
refused to take a degree from an Amer
lean school that Disseminated thus

and studied at Leipsic university.

men to study in the classes with men,
and Miss Thomas and a friend, Miss
GWynne, entered the department of
modern languages and. did brave work
for three years.
On the other hand, however, Leipsic
would not give degrees to women, and
in the second year of the American
girls stay there the German govern
ment requested Saxony to close the
doors of it's university to women stu
dents. And here a fine incident occur
red. Some of the faculty of the Leip
sic university had become SO Impress
ed with the brilliant attachments and
studiousness of Miss Thomas and her
friend that they personally appeared
before the Saxon parliament and re-
quested the decree against women to be
suspended till after the two American
ladies had finished their course. This
was granted, although the university
degree was refused to them.

A bride should try to remember that
everything depends on a first impress
sion and should therefore be careful to
create a favorable one at once. She
must recollect that, whatever their fall
ings and peculiarities are, they are
her husbands people, and as such to be
treated with respect even if she cannot
feel for them the affection she is wish
full to give.
Let her try to love them as her own
people, but if this is impossible she can
at least treat them with courtesy, not
do as a bride did not long agO-refuse
to let her mother-in-law visit them,
pleading as an excuse that your old
mother is so dreadfully deaf that L
really can't be bothered to entertain
her. If she has to come, you must ask
her when / am from home and do the

will find her new relatives only too
ready to love her for her husbands

THE DOMESTIC cIRL.
New York.

By the way. is the domesticated girl
really becoming extinct? Many people
would have US believe so. But there
will always be girls who infinitely pre-
fer domestic duties to any of the other
occupations now open to women, and,
after all, we cannot all be domesticated,
pure and simple. There is not room, to
begin with, and where there are sew
eral daughters of a household it is far
better for each to follow her bent in
stead of growing dissatisfied from
sheer ennui at home. There is never a
large or small family of girls without
the one domestic member. And it is
manifestly unfair to maintain that be-
cause a girl follows, often perforce,
another calling She could not by the
exercise of common sense manage a
house should occasion arise. The lon
ger one lives the more one realizes how
impossible it is to lay down hard and
fast rules about anything, even domes-
tication.

WHAT SHOULD MY HEIGHT BE

Here is what an expert says on the
subject:
The height of the human figure is six
times the length of the right foot The
face, from the point where the hair
starts on the brow to the end of the
chin, is one-tenth of the whole stature.
The hand, from the wrist to the tip of
the middle finger, is also one-tenth of
the height of the figure. From the
crown of the head to the nape of the
neck is one-twelfth of the total height
These are the correct proportions, but
no fair damsel need trouble herself if
they are not exactly hers, for probably
not one person in a hundred will be a
bit the wiser, and to the person who
loves her best her height, whatever it
is, is sure to be exactly right.

WITH PHYSICAL HEALTH
YOU CAN Do ANYTHING.

AT a meeting not long ago a lady
~ told in a rich, vibrant, powerful
voice how for twenty years she
had been an invalid, a nuisance to her
self and all about her, as useless to the
world as a dead leaf beneath a living
tree. She made up her mind all at once
she was going to be we'll No matter
how she achieved it, the main fact was
that she made up her mind she was
going to be well, thought OF herself al
ways as well and would not yield to in
validism any more. In a comparative
Iy short time she attained magnificent
results. She became a power in her
sphere, a blessing to all who knew her.
When she spoke in public she carried
conviction with what she said because
there went out from her the magnetism
of perfect physical health. a magnetism
that nothing but physical health can
give. The lady told how she was now
perfectly well. In a voice which, as
one could see, sent a thrill through her
audience, she concluded:
"Then was an invalid and forty five
years old. Now am entirely well and
am sixty-dve years young"
At the close of the meeting scores of
crowded around the woman who was
sixty-f1ve years young to grasp her
hand, to get word of cheer from her.
She was fairly mobbed in a friendly
way because of this atmosphere of
good health and good will which
Streamed out around her. It seemed as
if, unconsciously to themselves, those
who had listened to her sought to
breathe in a bit of that atmosphere to
their own profit. Glowing health and
joy were in it,
In a large city there was held a. COM
petitive contest to find the healthiest,
most perfectly formed woman in the
place. She who won it was only a
schoolgirl, still in the freedom of short
skirts and loose garments. Her waist
had never been shaped" by the fash
ionable corset, she had never become
knock kneed and pigeontoed through
the wearing of heavy, hampering skirts
This fine young woman had sense
enough in her early teens to decide that
health was preferable to fashion She
began training herself accordingly, if
that can be called training which mere
ly consists in avoiding the things that
injure a voman's health. Besides being
perfectly formed, the girl is always in
robust health.
To begin, this girl who made up her
mind to be well has never worn either
corsets. tight shoes. high heels, tight
belts or high. stiff collars. She has
only two meals a day and eats almost
no meat. The cannibal instinct is lack
ing in her. She is so careful not to give
her stomach more than it can do that
she sometimes skips even one of her
two daily meals and fasts till next day.
The last one of her "don ts'' is of ut
most Importance. Don't allow yourself
to indulge in bad temper or backbiting
or violent outbursts of grief or unpleas-
ant feeling of any kind. Don't worry.
These things poison the blood, injure
the health and hurt a girls beauty.
Here are a few of the dos" of our

TO GIVE A CAT MEDICINE.

A certain lady whose beloved cat was
i'll was much disturbed in mind be-
cause she could not induce IT to take
any sort of medicine. Persuasion and
coercion had both failed, when a newly
arrived servant, hearing of the trouble,
came to the rescue BY her advice the
medicine was mixed in lard and then
smeared on the cats body. OF course
the cat was annoyed at being made in
such a mess and at once set to work to
clean itself up. After that it had the
same disagreeable task set it repeat
edly, but it rapidly improved in health
and soon was well as ever again.
