HOW BRIDES MAY s,sss
 WIN AFFECTION

A bride who lives near her hus- bands relatives has reason for ex- ercfsing tact, for their priority claim on her husband is too strong to be ignored, and it takes quick thinking on the part of his wife to remember this. Also, as soon as she marries she has clearly defined place as mem- assurance. bpkE Esessive- ness. requires5 5lfn1e Afixfe4 or un- derstanding than eA saxef4Ke girl is likely to have. ahd In tllexsDross pur- poses that ensue faefings arise that only time may 6bilterate.
 By ''assurance without 4posittveness'' ia meant the ability to'sconvey the girls own consciousness of her posi- ton. without presuning upon it. A mans mother or his sister wishes the new member to, act as though she felt herself one of them. but not to impress them with the fact. Aggres- siveness of St tmapner will certainly create a most unp ieasaft Atmosphere. and any attempt dn the part of a young wife to take .precedenee over her mother-iD Jaw will make trouble that a lifetime may not smooth away. If the mother -in-iaw is not one of those who yields. of her own accord she may do so later because she Is obliged to. If it Is merely "a sense of obligation which prompts her talk ing second place. she is more than apt to do ? it grudgingly. or with such disagreeableness that what she abdicates brings no pleasure to her daughter-in4law.
 Truth to teIl.f more Is acQmplished with most older women by using tact aud being willing to wait for changes. It is not an easy matter for one who has been the only Mrs. smith in the family for twenty-five or forty years to have second and younger Mrs. Smith brought in. The oldev woman may feel herself pushed to old age when her feelings are anything but aged She becomes a secondary per son, whether she will or not. by the mere fact of her seniority. and younger woman who can make her mother-in.1aw feel that as an older woman she Is quite as important (only differently sol as she used to be has won. half the battle with her hus- bands family.
 This conquest may be by exercising deference with some members and con- suiting the opinions of the older ones. Should they coincide with her own. so much the better; but if they do not. she may have her own way and in- troduce many changes just by putting her ideals gently. with evident regard for the others. Tactfully managed the older woman, nine times out Of.

EVERY woMAN's DESIRE.

It is. only natural that every woman should wish to retain. as long as pos sible. her youthful appearance, yet the true secret of such enduring youth Is by. no means universally re- cognized. .. sly
 A woman. is happy just in propor- tion, as she is content. But happiness is not always increased in proportion to large success. cohteutment is wonderful thing to cultivate and if it weresa more universal quality In womanhood there would be fewer pre- maturely old women in the world.
 The wisest woman Is she who trusts in tomorrow. but never sits down and wishes that this or that might be dtf- ferent tomorrow. For she knows that worrying and wishing never did do any woman good and 1t makes her dis satisfied with herself unpleasant to her friends. and makes her old before her time
 The sun has a way of changing tho spots upon which 1t shines Especially is this true of our land, where one Is up today and down tomorrow.

SUGGESTIONS FOR A BRIDE

Wedding presents should be t.ac- knowledged as soon as they are re- ceived v s's.s
 And so one of the earliest orders a bride should give is for an extra sup ply of note paper for the purpose. This buying is often troublesome to one whose purse is limited. for if q woman has her paper ntonogramnieds that which has her maiden initials. is useless after she is married, yet she must have enough to answer ali de- mands previousYto the time her name is changed. And as there Is no way of computing the quantity needed. she must have large supply.
 She should also have a die made with her new address or Initials. and paper stamped. for it is more than likely that she cannot answer allEher notes before her marriage. She will wish to write some letters or notes while on her. wedding journey. and 1t will be Q. satisfactionA to have the proper paper. Indeed. correctly chosen properly stamped writing paper is one of the hall marks of good breeding.
 ITO acknowledge gifts of intimate friendx Is not difficult for ones thanks are unaffected. spontaneous and in- formal. But 1t is g test to write a graceful formal note to person one has never seen, an act all girls who marry must do. because some of their presents come from. friends of the bridegroom whom she does not know And so tact must be used in such letters. for should she be formal with an old friend she gives an impression of aloofness that may be unfortunate. On the other hand, to be effusive with those she does not know is bad form. should they be only formal acquain- tances of the bridegroom. It will greatly simplifys met ters and aid In giving her cue ifs{he girl can con- suit her future husband and find out exactly the relationship which each giver occupies. There are always some presents from his business friends. men whom he knows down town.t but not socially. and those must be carefully thought of before answering. A girl who is tactiess in acknowledging gifts from such persons may sometimes so antagonize them as to hurt her husband in, business way; on the, other hand. she may. with tact aid with the. same individuals by creating a good impression.

POISON IN SIMPLE FLOWERS

Beautiful as flowers appears to the eye, death often turks behind their beauty. They may be handled with impunity and their odors enjoyed. but let one taste the juice of some of the most bautiful and poison and death enter their system. The bulbs of such dainty. flowers as the snow drop, hyacinth, narcissus and jenquil are fraught- with poison. The pretty ox- slis is unsafe to put to the. lips and all eobelios will produce Illness, The monks hood and foxgloye are affairs from which powerful drugs are ob- tained-a few dRopss of which con- stitute a fatal dose.

NEW BIRTH CARDS.

Instead of the conventional ensrav- ed cards of parents. and newborn child tied with white satin ribbonss there Is novelty card that Is charm- ing.
 It Is the hand-p painted profile of q baby's head on q long white paper slip. One little hand and the careless grill of lace around the neck Is sug- gested in pencil.
 ou the white paper. is written the name of the newly born and the date of it's birth.
 The long. narrow envelope is also hand made and sealed with the family crest in wax. or tiny silver seal with the family initial in the centre.
 The day after the great event these cards are mailed to all friends of the couple in all parts of the country.
 If one must pay to have them done.. the cost is not slight. but if one is clever with the brush 1t proves pleasant and simple task.

WEARING PEARLS.

Y
 A few smart leaders have started the fashion of wearing their string of pearls under the yoke and collar of white tulle or lace in dressy frock. This Is supposed to be in bet ter taste for these days than wearing such precious jewels. on the outside during the daytime. In the evening. of course. the fitness of the thing changes. This is the hour for jewels and whether or not the frock has a collar any necklace Is worn on the outside.
 It looks, by the way. as though a collar on any gown worn after [ o. clock will be old ia shioned. Dog col lars of tulle or bands of black velvet may be used to cover the neck if 1t Is not a pretty one, but the boned collar seems to have had it's run, except for the daytime

EFFECTIVE ARRANGEMENT
 OF FLOWERS AND VASES

There is as much necessity for har- mony between flowers and vases. as in materials for a garment. For in- stance cut glass should -eontain none but what might almost be called formal blossoms. In standardization to those which are simple. Hot house
 roses, carnations and others of the kind are beautiful in an elaborate re- ceptacie, and silver is none too eie-
 gant for them. A combination of cut
 glass and silver the latter perhaps as a rim. is perfection for roses. whether
 they be of Q large or small variety. Certain old fashioned flowers lark . spur. for example. heliotrope. and white stock can be arranged in simi- lar vases. and appear at their best
 As a rule garden overs are most perfectly in accord with china. The stems of the majority are not de- corative. as is the same with roses. A transparent receptacle does not add to their beauty and color below them and a gay design far from detracting, in- creases their general note of gayety,
 Nasturtiums, are suited to colored
 glass bowls and should always be placed in low dishes having a broad surface. The stems are apt to be too short to handle them, effectively ex- cept as a mass of color. As separate blossoms they do not count.
 If the basin used for short stemmed fewer is large, they will be. more graceful and less jumblde if another jar is placed in the center to give height. A tall, tumbler Is suitable, the idea being to prevent monotony of surface. The glass or vase be filled with water and placed in the bowl. It Is concealed by the gay coiors of the fewer in the basin. while those in the glass tower. e little above.
 Brass and copper filled with overs are excellent for decorative purposes Mignonette never looks so oattractly as when in highly polished copper. The green blends in harmony with the pink brown of the metal, making a color note in the room that cannot be overlooked. Golden rod Is another which should always be treated in this way. and chrysauthemums and asters are effective in metal stands. .Dablias, for the reason of their brilli- ant colors, combine handsomely with brass. and will not look so pretty if put into glass or china, unless the latter be brilliant green or simi- lar color.
 i, A mistalx by the average person in arranging flowers in vase is to use too many in. aone receDtacle. Each bloom should be put in separately. with an eye ito symmetryi Six roses appear far more effective than a dozen in the same stand. for each should stand alone, toa rest and refresh the eye and not confuse it.
