what is enough for one is enough for two. It is
not till the honeymoon has waned, and the estate
agent has called with his No. 2 notice, that he
realizes that there are two sides to matrimony--
the one all honey, and the other all moonshine,
which resolves itself into the stern terrestrial
fact that three lunar months make one quarters
rent. =
AND THE TEARS FLOW
It is about this time that his married men
friends begin to call upon Jack and, having eau
stiously asked if "the missus is in," ask him in
1lrlshed voices how he likes paying for two of
everything @
Of course, Jack makes gallant reply, but he
sends round to the bank three times week for
his pass-book and his face grows longer his
balance grows shorter

little brunette with rich coloring, pale blue
frock with pink roses is especially becoming. A
buff frock with rose ramblers is equally attrac-
tive.
The hosiery and sandals may be white, or
match the frock or flowers
When expense is not considered, pink or green
muslin underwear with chiffon, net or silk ruff
fes produces an indescribably lovely effect.

This costume may be made over any attractive
summer frock, SO long as it adapts itself to
strings of the pink and white corn. The model
shown is skirt composed of three ruffes, edged
with popcorn, the full blouse has circular collar
with V neck, not unlike the sailor pattern
Strings of popcorn are around it, From the edge
Of the short sleeves are suspended ribbon ends

The jam is fine, but the powder will come
through it. ...- .. ... ... ..,
It is all very well for Jack and Jill, when en-
gagged, to declare that they will never quarrel,
but Jack and Jill single and Jack and Jill mar
ried four very different persons p
Indeed, very few days after marriage-almost
before he has shaken the wedding confetti out
of his boots and the lining of his hat, Jack makes
the grand discovery which every married man has
made since the days of Adam.
His Jill is not the Jill with whom he went a.
counting but few weeks since. II
A new Jill has arisen-a Jill he never knew
before, even though they were engaged for four
years-a Jill with new and strange temper who,
instead of clinging to him with mute and fatter-
ing alteration, tells him with the new voice of
sole proprietress, lessee, and manager exactly
what she likes in him, and what she does not.
WHEN THE HONEYMOON WAVES
Hitherto, Jacks idea of married life has been
that of a sort of glorifed bachelordom-a bache-
lors easy life, softened by the presence Of per
petua honeymoon. He would have the cake OF
bachelordom, and eat it, too, spread with the
| jam of matrimonial bliss
Instead of this, he discovers that he has bitten
on very prosaic mouthful of bread-and- butter
| and not too much butter to it either. And he
has yet to learn that bread-and butter is good
! everyday food, whilst cake and jam for breakfast
dinner and supper is apt to become sickly diet al
/ best.

travagant. Indeed, he ventures to expostulate
with her mildly when she spends two dollars
in flowers for the dinner-table.
Of course, this comes somewhat as a surprise
to Jill, for twas but short while ago that Jack
never approached her without hatful of hot
house flowers which would have been cheap at
three dollars.
JM very naturally concludes that Jack does not
love her as much as he did; that his love, in fact
won't stretch to a twopenny bunch of violets.
Then there are tears, and Jill weeps her eyes
red in the new saddebag armchair-big enough
for two-which fills most of the cat-swinging
space in the little front room. Jack stalks up and
down the grass plot at the back of the house,
kicking the daisies, and beginning to feel asham-
ed of himself for brute and bully.
They make it up, and for sweet, brief moment
the honeymoon is resumed. !.

In bedrooms borders not only make pretty,
appropriate finish, but seem to be in keeping
with the apartment. They, however, are not
like the ones that are familiar to old fashioned
housewives, for they are cut out and are really
dainty, being imitation festoons of roses growing
on graceful vines.
These are used with plain walls in MORE or
chambray effects, the latter being either plain or
in stripes, in which the weave is vividly shown
up. In grays, light blues and green's these are
decidedly pretty and charmingy simple, as they
should be.
There is a panel style for bedrooms that is also
effective in chambray. Like the French design,
panel is used on the four sides of the walls
with pretty cut out edging of ribbon like border
tied in bowknots with streamers.

Teach Your Little Girl

That happiness is a matter of spirit, not
"things."
That it is possible only when every member
of the household is considered.
That, to be in her own place, wherever that
may be- a beautiful home-maker is the loveest
ambition any woman can have.
That it is better to be a beautiful home-maker
than fine housekeeper.
That the one indispensable quality in home
is happiness; every home, matter how beauti-
full, which misses that, is a failure, but no homs
can be wholly failure if it is happy.

people, just as the careful and gracious introduc-
ton is one of the essentials in putting strangers
at ease.
In introducing people the greatest care should
be taken to pronounce both names distinctly. If
one name has escaped the introducer's memory
it is safest and best to excuse oneself, and ask
for the forgotten name. The most delicate SEN
sibities should not be wounded by such slip
of memory, for who is there who has not at some
time or another quite forgotten well-known
name?
The debatable question as to whether woman
should shake hands with man who is being pre-
sented to her, has been solved by making it only
obligatory, for the woman to offer her hand to!
the man when the occasion is informal, and the
man is being introduced to one person at time
When he is meeting group of people it makes
it embarrassing and awkward to shake hands
with all.

1t Is often puzzling matter to know just what
KIND OF costume is appropriate, as several moth
ers have explained in their letters to this depart
ment, so that few pictorial sketches and some
brief pen description will be of pertinent interest
Fancy dress parties for children have been very
fashionable all winter, and are to continue
throughout the summer months as al fresco af-

account Of their rural setting.

This is delightful little character. and most
interesting and fanciful costume to plan, as the
designer may carry out any floral fantasy the
imagination suggests.
The costume pictured represents a simple it,

material for which should be of fluffy nature
Swiss, organdie, batiste, Persian lawn or null is
appropriate, China may be utilized. A dotted

Che QWorst Dear Of marrieo Lite

Their first quarrel bears fruits of repentance.
Jack spends the dollar which really belongs to
the butcher on bunch of orchids.
Happy, now, is Jack, if relations do not at
this time begin to take friendly hand IN the
matrimonial game. A good deal of rubbish has
been written about the mother-in-law, and this
good lady has served as the peg wherein many
sorry joke has been hung; but, nevertheless, she
is no ghost, and, though little in evidence in
times of peace looms large the horizon at the
first hint of war ~... ~ -.-
ALL HAIL, THE KING
And all that Jack suffers Jill must suffer- too.
The furniture doesn't fit the new house; the stair
carpets are too short, and the curtains are too
long; the electric bells won't ring, whilst the new
alarm clock has fits every hour; the chimney of
the white drawing-room smokes like colliery.
The new servant suffers from gumbois and mel
anchola, and the lamb supplied by the butcher
has travelled, manof-the- world, tired sort of
look.
So Jill cries into the varnish as she stains new
floors which won't dry out fat Sometimes she
begins to wonder why she ever married Jack
and hates herself for the treason of the thought
All little things, these, but life is made up of
little things, and it is not till the big things
come along that the little things take their prop
er place in the perspective of life. And the large
thing, when it comes is often little thing--a
little thing which whimpers, red and querulous,
in its blankets Selling in its tiny grip the hands
and hearts of Jack and Jill that forgetting all
small things but one, they realize that here is a
new king, who will soon begin to kick the polish
off the new furniture as he has knocked the cor
ners off his father and mother. and that the
first and worst year of married life is over.

Balls OF popcorn attached to streamers decorate
the back of the skirt, and the same idea is car
ried out on the lingerie hat. The slippers have
straps touched with the fanciful corn, and, OF
course, corn pepper is carried, gayly decked
with ribbons.
White and pink makes very attractive color
scheme.
A peirrot costume decorated with balls Of pop
corn would be original and quite different from
the pompons Of white or black.
Balls of corn suspended from the girdle at in
tervals to fall over the ruffes would impart even
greater character than is shown in the sketch.
MISS MUFFETs" COSTUME.
Ever so quaint and attractive is Miss Mufet
costume.
The one illustrated is in yellow China silk,
characteristically treated with cobwebs of gilt
thread yellow silk cord. Several papier mache
spiders with yellow and black bodies are perched
on the webs.
The little ruffed sun bonnet Of white dimity has
an ugly-looking spider perched on the side. Long
black silk gloves are worn, or lace mits; also
yellow silk or Isle stockings and patent leathe,
slippers.
Narrow black velvet makes very effective
cobweb on yellow frock, one of pale blue OIL
pink might be substituted. Silver cord on pale
blue silk would be very artistic.

A JAPANESE COSTUME.


A japanese costume is possibly one OF the cas-
lest to fashion. A couple of yards OF twenty-five
cent cotton print crepes in delightfully."- Japanesey
patterns are available in the shops and make
stunning little costume. A band of silk extends
around the garment and the obi is of the same
color or an ornate pattern. The couture is built
high and decorated with wee little fans placed
upon shiny long black sticks Small hand fans
are sold from five to twenty-five cents.

emphaszing the almond shape; but of course this

INTERESTING POINT OF TAX LAW
Retired Army Officer Seeks to Escape
Taxation Under Peculiar Law

ROCHESTER. N. Y, Feb. 26.-Cap-
tain w. A Campbell, who was retired
from active service in the army for
disability in 1903 and who lives in this
city, has written to the war depart
ment to find out whether he may claim
exemption from the payment of taxes
on property in this city which he pur-
chased with his income as a retired
officer and which he occupies. Under
one law Of the state property purchas-
ed with what is known as pension

war department officials have not been
able to answer Captain Campbell in a
definite way. 1t seems to be a question
largely for the Rochester board of tax
assessors, although there are said to
be decisions of the courts which may
aid Captain Campbell in his appeal
for relief.

A Broad-Minded Vegetarian.

during his residence in Natchez, but
soon abandoned the practice. finding
that it did not agree with him.

particular parishioners one night in
Natchez about this time. Vegetables
in profusion were on the menu, but thf
bishop disdained them ALI He had had
enough of vegetables for a long time
He found the meat much more to his
taste.
His host. who did not know that he
had abandoned vegetarianism, said in
surprise.

vegetarian, and here l see you eating
mutton"
Bishop Elder laughed.

said. Il only eat the meat of such ami
mails as live on vegetable food"
