HAVE THE HOME ORIGINAL.
Ideal Abiding Place Carries Stamp of
Individuality.

The surest way of making the home
distinctive is to do all we can our
selves, and stamp 1t with our own
individuality.
Never copy other peoples ideas of
comfort and decoration. but employ
your own talents and experience to
the best advantage by carrying out
original designs and schemes. Don't
copy; originate.
If you can't afford to buy a new
parlor table on the installment plan.
you may buy cheap table, and cover
it with pretty chintz and muslin very
reasonably indeed; and If the cover
ing matches the wall paper, the sue
cess of the venture will be doubly
sure.
All husbands appreciate the efforts
of wives to make the home pretty,
bright, and dainty, and as they are
mortal. and do not possess inex-
haustibie purses. it will please them
still more when they hear it is all
home made"

American women have much to
learn from their sisters in Paris as to
the art of wearing tailor-made gowns,
for 1t is certain that no women in the
world equal the Parisiennes in this
difficult art. Nature has made them
exceedingly careful of details, and
this in every walk of life, and from
early youth they are taught to regard
dress as an affair of paramount i'm
portance. To Parisienne it is a mat
ter of vital importance that the dainty
little purse carried in the hand
should harmonize with some other
detail-with the sporting ng-looking little
necktie, perhaps, or with the embroid-
cries on the waistcoat of pale-hued
suede. Everything has its own mean
ing and nothing is too small to lack
Importance. 1t is natural to French
women to look at the subject from
this point of view and this is why
they can-when they wish to do So
dress perfectly on comparatively
small income.
peculiarity of the Partisan even
ing gowns this season is the close re-
semblance which they bear to tea
gowns. There is the same graceful
flow of supple material and the same
vague outline. The Parisiennes revel
in this particular mode and invest it
with exceeding charm and grace.
They never permit their picture gowns
