She had begged SO earnestly to sit
up that Mrs. White had improvised an
invalid's chair, out of a huge old rocker
and a cracker box. 1t did very we'll.
Then she had partially clothed the

mans silk handkerchief where the

the injured arm. Mrs. White had
then recalled her husband from the
stables where he was on the point OF

The material is not really that Of the
cretonnes, but is rather heavy linen,
and most of these trimmings come
as borders on linen materials which
are meant to be used for the frock

an entire innovation in the ideals of
dressing, they are so elaborate. SO pro

this is apt to seem the case when
