READY MADE
 BLOUSE MODES
French Models Have Touch Of White or Cream at
 Neck.

The variety and beauty displayed in the ready made blouses this fall Is one of the noticeable features of the seasons modes Pretty white blouscs have always been plentiful since the, separate blouse first entered the field but if one wanted chlcrcoIored blouse en suite with the coat and skirt, 1t was necessary to have 1t made.
 The best of the models arc eXpen- sive, daintlly made of fino materials and beautifully embroidered in silks or soutaehe, but even at the prices charged these waists are less eYpen- slve than they would be if made Co or der by a drossmaker capable of de- signing and carrying out such work.
 Net is perhaps the fayorlte material for these hlouses though chiffon, mouasolne de sole, messalne liberty, crepe, silk voile and various other modish materials are used; but when one says net ono opens the way for host of widely dssimlar effects There are SO many kinds of net--hig mesh, little mesh, medium mesh fish, flet, octagon, silk cotton, dotted, plain, figured, striped, barred-the list seems interminuhle
 Perhaps the net used is rather fine. a Brussels mesh, and the originality of the model is lntrusted 10 the eabora- ton lavlshod upon this unpretentious surface. Fine soutache braid, often combined with embroidery in silks is the favorite trimming, monotone coloring being preserved, and ire quently almost the entire blouse will be covered with such embroidery, with folds, piping, cords or bands of silk or satin for finish

The French models, as rule, have the color of the blouse contnuel in the guimpe as well as in the sleeves, but there are exceptions to this rule, and a touch of white or cream near the face is so much more becoming than the dark net that American women are by no means accepting resignedly the French verdict in favor of the dark guimpe Even among the smartest French models one does find this concession to the becoming made occasionally and the sensible women will choose a light guimpe un- less she has a complexion beyond re- proach
 One charming idea was in gray chiffon. The heavily embroidered part of the blouse was cut low and filled In with finely tucked tucker of semi transparent chiffon laid over white, the white continuing in the guimpe and collar
 Another notion much fancied Is the filling in of a low-cut blouse with heavily embroidered net or satin in gold or silver or vivid coloring, the pin tucked or plain net of the guimpe being set in over this embroidery, so that the latter gleams through the fine meshes, while above the embroid- cry the net shows the tint of the flesh.
 Long. light transparent sleeves of net or chiffon, tucked slightly fulled. are used in the smart blousos, but sleeves with over and under sleeves are rather more modish now, the plainer tucked sleeve having been quickly commonized because of It's ex- treme simplicity The oversleeve idea affords more latitude for originality and incidentally 1t helps to disguise an ugly arm and gives a little more weight and appropriateness for wlntry days.
 The oversleeve, however, must not Interfere with the desired effect of length and slenderness in the arm. II Is almost as close fitting as the tight, tong undersleeve, and If draped at all has folds of the closest and most cDnging sort

You see Cora, you're my sister,
and l can confide in YOU" announced
Edith Fitch as she nestled closer in
the hollow of the armchair. Then,
too you're married and you know the
signs"
Mrs. Bennington smiled at her pref
ty sister and made no contradictory
reply.
Il am sure he loves me-but, oh,
dear, why doesn't he tell me soy
continued Edith petulantly. But
there's no use beating about the bush,
Cora. What / want to know is how
ever did you make Carl propose"
MAKE him. echoed the justly in
dignant Mrs Bennington. MY dear
sis, I couldn't stop him. For two
whole years when l would feel it In
my bones that the proposal was on his
lips I would change the subject, but
finally he asked me and just kept on
asking until 1 said 'Yes'-well-well-
oh, Just to get rid of him" And Mrs.
Bennington blushed at her own un-
truthfulness.
Il might have known that I could
get no consolation from you, Cora, y
declared Edith. "YOu and Carl are SO
beastly happy that you don't bother
about rank outsiders" And she gath
cred up her belongings and departed.
Alone in the privacy Of her own
room Edith sighed and sighed as only
a girl very much in love can do. She
grew restless and finally wandered
downstairs into the library. Looking
over the shelves, she finally discover
ed the book for which she was search
ing.
Once more she returned to her room

An Unreasonable Wife.

John vigors complained one night
at supper that the tea was weak, the
meat tough. the potatoes soggy, etc.
His wife at last burst into tears.
''John Vigors," she cried. Il have
cooked faithfully for you for seven
teen years. My one thought has been
to please you. There is not man in
this town has better cooked food than
you, and this is all the thanks l get
growlings and complaints. growlings
and complaints day after day. Why
can't you praise me once in awhile?"
"You are the most unreasonable wo-
man ever saw" he said coldly.
MANY and many time I've sat down
to a meal and never said word about
it from start to finish Wasn't that
enough of a compliment for you ?
Don't you know perfectly we'll that If
there had been the least little bit Of a
thing to find fault with I'd have found

Mother" began Edith as the maid
brought in the bouillon, show did you

After all, mothers are the ones who
always do solve our problems, and as
Edith leaned back in her chair she
somehow felt that help would be forth
coming.
Mrs. Fitch smiled softly.
Your father first asked me to mar

nine," she replied. "Of course l &C.

'How many times were there?" cried
Edith.
"Oh, 1nnumerable," announced Mrs.
Fitch, land they just kept up until we
were finally married"
Edith thought the lunch most unap-
petizing and returned to finish her book
after the meal was over. That evening
the wilson's were giving large dance,
and Edith took beauty nap to pre-
pare for the fun. Sharply at 9 O'Clock
Donald Upton drove up to the house,
and together he and Edith went to the

LISTEN!

Whoever you are, as you read this,
Whatever your trouble or grief.
I want you to know and to heed this
The hour draweth near with relief.
No sorrow, no woe, is unending.
Though heaven seems voiceless and
dumb,
So sure as your cry is ascending,
So surely an answer will come
Whatever temptation is near you
Whose eyes on these simple lines fall,
Remember, good angels will hear you
And help you to stand If you call.
Though stunned by despair, I beseech
you.
Whatever your losses, your need,
Believe when these printed words reach
you,
Believe you were born to succeed.
