The other frock OF the cut owed its
cachst chiefly to the exquisite harmony
Of the smoky gray silk net which composed
the tunic and the gravish violet satin
underrobe which this tunic yelled. En-
broidery in self solor silk and SILK fringe
trimmed the net.
In biouseland one finds many dark colored
nets matching cloth suits and made up
over a white or cream lace. the design Of
the lace showing through the net and re-
Heving the sombreness. Another good idea
for the suit blouse is to lay the dark net
over a striped or figured silk. one OF the
figured Persian pongees often furnishing
q most effective foundation.

Full coats OF net in Russian style drawn
in with shir cord at the waist and trimmed

some Of them will gladly cooperate in

- serious consideration. To the

SAb life together. the practical
side Of the relation gradually over
shadows the sentimental. dreams fan to
become realities and air castles are shat
tered by necessity. The test of strength Of
young married people comes with the real
izatiOn OF vanished day dreams and the
necessity OF each adapting themselves To
material restrictions. Plain common sense
effects the result without much change OF
former habits or pleasures. But precious
few possess a stock OF the article ready TO
meet the emergencies as hey arise. Too
often an undue share OF the burden falls
10 the wife. and she becomes a mere
-housekeeper whose work is scarcely ever
finished In behalf OF this class Of over
worked and underpaid wives, a writer in
the st. Louis Times pens a f0rceful appeal
for a share Of the uplift so much talked
about. The writer regards married house
keepers as chief among the unsung
heroines and martyrs Of life. and con-
tinues:
II is not that the woman objects to
performing these household duties. on The
contrary, there Is no true Wuman who does
not delight In doing little personal services
for one she loves. and who does not find
a sacred Joy in knowing that she makes
her family more comfortable than any
hired hands could DO. because she puts her
self into her ministrarions.
But q woman wants som reuornition
OF these services more than having her
board and clothes given to her. no matter
