This last mentioned material, too, is among the hrst
favorites for evening wear and has entirely taken the
place Of crepe de chimes, ninons, AMI, to a certain eN-
tent, Of charmeuse.. This seasons onering is brilliant
in finish and pliable enough TO render it amenable TO
any style of gown. There has never been such a selec-
ton OF colors, from those that are as pronounced ana
vivid as can be imagined TO those that are SO suoue IN
shading that they are nameless.
Next to white. which never loses its popularity and
is invariably first choice for evening wear, come all the
shades OF bronze. dull gold. and green. Any Of these
when combined with gold embroideres or the passe-
menteries and trimmings Of gold and gorgeous Persian
colorings, make some of the most artistic costumes
that have been seen.

One other costume Of this actress must be mem

dinner gown. II was Of the shade known as rose Du-

one is tall or the reverse. Some are knotted just above

way Of bows or the like, Others are caught about the

Another gown was Of a new shade of green, called

What is the Wife Worth?

A few years ago noted economic
statician startled the country by the
mere. question as to what would be
likely to happen il all the housewives
OF the country were simultaneously to
go on a strike. We have had some
pretty serious labor eruptions in this
country. The railroad strike in Chics-
go in President Cleveland's admins
tration assumed momentous proper
tions when the question of the duty
and powers of the federal government
was raised and everybody readily re-
calls the distress which fell upon the
whole Atlantic seaboard few years
ago. when the anthracite miners ceas-
ed digging coal. But the most serious
strike any of us can recall would be as
nothing compared to the distress and
hardships that would follow a concert
ed determination of the housewives of
the United States to give up baking
and cooking and mending and sweep
ing, and to lay aside the broom and
frying pan.
A thoughtless husband complaining
that the women have the easier tasA in
the breadwinning partnership, gladly
accepted the proposition of his wife to
change places. At the end Of four days
with aching feet, burned and blstered
fingers, he surrendered his job.
Therefore the question 10 pertinent. t.
What is the wife worth? When you
sit down to a well-ordered, well-pro-
vided table in comfortable, pleasant
room, do you ever pause to think what
1t has cost the good wife in planning,
in steps up and down ana around the
house? Think on these things, dear
brethern, and il you do it seriously
deeply and honestly you will arrive at
the conclusion that the wife is worth a
great deal more than she is getting, no
matter what that may be.--Farm Jour
nal.
