H VALUE OF
PRETTY, FRESH VEIL,

Many women think II they have on a
well-made dress and a becoming hat that
this constitutes a well-dressed woman. 1t
is not so. Any Of us can go to a store and
buy a pretty gown and hat, but it Is the
way we put 1t on, the right touch here and
there that gives the distinct style TO one
woman over another. For instance, many
women will put on a pretty, smart-looking
hat and over this they will drag a half
soiled veil. What could be worse? If your
veil is old go without any If you cannot
afford a new one; II It is soiled wash it In
gasoline; If 1t is rumpled press it out, but
don't | implore you, cover your face with
a dirty piece of yelling. thinking 1t will
in any way help your general appearance.
The best veil to wear with a sailor hat
is chiffon, and these you can make your
self much cheaper than If you bought them
at the shops. Get n piece of chiffon as
long as it is wide, and hem both the ends
This is large enough to put on right over
the hat, and brown is a good sensible
color that answers for almost all occa-
sions. If you are wearing a dotted veil
pin the middle Of it to the middle of the
rim on your hat, then take two invisible
hairpins and pin the sides of the veil down
to your hair behind your ears and then
gather the ends up on the back of the hat.
A yard of yelling is enough for the hat of
average size, but II 1t is extremely large, a
yard and a quarter generally is needed.

They are certainly wearing short
skirts this year, which are mighty be-
coming to a girl of medium height or
near it. But put one on a short, plump
person and you transform her into a
most unnatural being.
The other day a girl walked down
Broad street with a confident swing
that betokened unlimited satisfaction
with her appearance. She really wa up
to-date. but that is about all you could
say about her. for she looked anything
but attractive.
Her hat was immSnse, one of those
big round sailor affairs, with n spread
ing bow of bright green taffeta across
the back of the crown. She wore a
plaid shirt waist suit with a collar
nearly three inches high, n flaring
bow under the chin, a wide MORE belt
and tan hose and pumps. Her skirt
was at least two inches above ankle
length, and as she was only about five
feet two inches in height, it made her
look all out of proportion.
She swasn't a bad looking girl, and
might have been attractive if she had
worn the right iii of clothes.

Department STORES.
The Real Reason Why They Have RevO'
lu~tionized Business.

The popular idea, says EVERYBODY
MaEazine. is that a department store Is
merely the grouping together OF d
large number of separate businesses
under one roof. But the experiment OF
assembling businesse in one store TO
the cost of rent and other
fixed charges has been tried n dls-
continued as a failure. The success OF
the department store rests upon an en-
tirely different principle-upon stand
a~rdization. The departments are not
Independent, but highly specialized
activities conforming to certain fixed
laws that govern the whole establish
ment.
The old way of doing business wat
simple and the methods were highly
elastic. The proprietor bought as
cheaply as he could, usually in guam
titles that\were measured only by MS
capacity to sell and by his credit. He
marked the goods in cipher, and left II
to his clerk to get as large a profit as
could be wheedled from the customer.
Now the difference between the old
way and the new is the difference be-
tween the old-time workshop. where
everything was made by hand, and tho
factory, where machinery does the
work. The machine makes articles ex-
actly alike in standard sizes and the
cost of production is enormously re-
duced. as every one knows
Probably the most important FACTOR
in the development of the department
store machine is the. idea of "one-price
articles marked in plain figures" This
makes 1t possible for the goods prac.
tically to sell themselves. The element
of bargaining. he most important fea-
ture of the old system, Is almost wholly
eliminated. The chief function of the
clerk is to see that the machine works
properly. / do not know who orig
mated this idea. There is a story that
a g~lovemaker in Paris first put 1t into
execution and grew rich thereby. The
first of the great department stores
the Bon Marche in Paris. which does
more than double the business of any
other store in the world-adopted the
plan when It first opened its doors. A.
T. Stewart introduced 1t into this coun-
try before the Civil War.

You cannot pick up a paper nowadays
without reading of some girl who has mar
ried a man to reform him, thereby wreck
ing her whole life, and finding that the
task Of making him forget his bad habits
is entirely beyond her ability.
A girl is foolish In the extreme to be-
lieve that such a thing can be done.
A mans promises come easy, and perhaps
he does make an effort for a time. But
In @ few months, when the wife's influence
has begun to wear off. he relapses into
his former habits and there is little before
her but hopeless misery. Her home, which
was the pride of her heart, begins to grow
more and more shabby, for she Is too much
consumed with worry to give it proper care
and after a while even hope Is apt to die.
No matter how handsome a man may be
or how great his personality do not marry
him II he drinks.
II you do you will only be walking into
trouble of the worst kind with your eyes
wide open.
Give him plenty of time to prove that he

whom we would like to take by the

1t is the girl who always has too much

has the floor, for she has a way of de-
