cess or semi-princess jumper dresses
and the separate jumper joined un-
der a belt to pretty skirt are the
neatest kinds of dresses.
For rainy days there should be a
walking skirt, a flannel waist or two
rand a long stormcoat. There Is the
sweater or jersey for outdoor sports,
and the gymnasium suit required by
most schools. These. things complete
the list Of the ordinary daytime out
fit.
For the dinner hour, white serge
or cloth, CLEANLINESS and VOTES in pale
blues and Dinks, or dainty dresden
silks make appropriate little dresses
that can be worn fall, winter and
spring. These dresses need not rep
resent any great expendIture---in
fact, they should be most simple, and
their beauty should lie IN their dam
tiDess and freshness. The younger
children will need greater supply
than the older girls, for they are al
ways meeting with calamities. On
the other hand, the older girl will
fneed an evening wrap, a pretty dane

much greater wealth than the two mil

family would seem to justify.
The Due de Chaufnes has a house IN
Paris, and a hereditary castle in one

IS small, of course, and in Paris it is
well known that for years he has been
seeking a rich American wife.

ances-amounts unnamed.
His family is unquestioHably OF the
oldest mobility, not alone in France,
but in all Europe. Originally an old
Italian family of patrician orisin, his
ancestors settled in France, and he is
connected with the ancient nobility OF
Spain.
