If more women realized the saving
grace of laughter there would be fewer
tragedies and heart breaks in this
world
If you, dear madam, were able to
make your lover laugh, you might con-
slider yourself clever indeed. But il
you can keep your husband laughing
you should be enrolled among the
seven wonders of the world.
You see, a mans life is usually full
of duties and cares that you, possibly.
cannot realize. If you could. perhaps,
you might try to chase the heaviness
from the spirit of moodiness from the
mein of your best beloved in place of
sitting silent and grleved at his want
of cheerfulness.
Sometimes you feel that so much
merriment may be beneath your dig
nifty. Don't believe it; men often long
for the joyous spirit that so charmed
them in sweethearting days.
1t seems a little thing to provoke
laughter, does it not? Somehow you
think it hardly within the lines you
have drawn for the conduct of wife.
But it is saving grace, you may de-
pend; n man rarely reaches period
of life when there is no more of the
boy left in his nature; the mischlev-
BUSINESS is still there-or, rather, the
spirit of it-and you need but give the
opportunity to bring it forth, with
great benefit to the family generally

one is among the best of the kind and
can be worn with any waist that may
be liked, but is especially well adapted
to the one that is shlrred TO form a
glrdle, the two together giving the
favOrite princesse effect. The skirt Is
exceedingly graceful and is quite sim
pie, it being made in sections, which
are Joined beneath the shirrings. The
slight train illustrated is always pretty
and desirable for formal occasions, but
skirts that just escape the floor are
much liked this season and the model
allows of that length also, so becom-
ing adapted to all hours of the day. In
this instance the material is pearl gray
chiffon voile with banding of lace of
the same color, but the list of avail
able ones is many, chiffon and all the
chiffon" silks and woods being emf
nently desirable, while null, both silk
and cotton, net and the like are also
suitable.
The skirt is made with two sections,
and the fiounce. The lower section and
the fiounce both are shirred to form
headings, and beneath these headings
the jolnings are made. The shirrings
at the upper edge give yoke effect,
and are arranged over plain founda-
ton.

the medium size is twelve yards twen-

for the separate one which is sure to be
in demand for wear with coat suits.
For this latter purpose white or color
that matches the costume is preferred
to anything else.
The waist is made over n fitted lining
on which the little chemisette is ar
ranged and itself consists of front and

at the shoulders and are gathered at

There is one section of the dress re-
form which pleases many, and that is
the new fashion of dressing plainly for
church. The Sunday dress has really
gone out of fashion. 1t is no longer

must be laid away for worldly pleas

DO College Women Marry?

Two questions are very familiar to
those who are Interested in college
training for women; the first is-"Does
college unfit a woman for home life?"
and the second, "Do college women
marry? The writer has often won
dered whether the first question is
urged upon the faculty of mans col
legs? The mans work for the home
is different from the woman's, but is 1t
not quite as definite in Its own way and
as important that his training shall tit
him for 1t? 1t is assumed that the
broader his culture the wider his hori-
zon, the more will he be able to add to
that which should be the centre Of his
life however manifold his outside in
terests. II is illogical to think that the
contrary result Is TO be expected from
the education of woman. and expert
ence always proves that logic is right
Discomfort, lack Of appreciation and
inehiciency in the home are less often
seen among college women than among
those who have never been away from
home and thus do not realize its full
value. Certainly in no class of women
is the home instinct stronger than
among those whose lives are spent
largely in the colege.-Presldent Mary
Woolley, in Harper's Bazaar.
