n..t to wed oountrr elrl.

The country girl has in many ways
n decided advantage over her town-bred
cousin. AS guest, the country girl
gives little or no trouble In the horse.
No special dishes have to be prepared
10 coax a captious appetite, for she en-
toys with a healthy relish everything
that is set before her. At breakfast she
is always fresh and amiable, while the
town girl is sleepily toying with q
morsel Of toast
From a mans point Of view a coun-
try cousin presesses many admirable
traits which he devoutly wishes the
town girl would emulate. In the first
place. she can don her walking attire
and be ready to accompany him for a
stroll before the girl from the city
would even have decided which hat she
would wear for the occasion. The best
type OF country girl makes a splendid
wife. She is not used to being pam
pered in every little whim, and the man
who wins her has wife who will face
any trouble with him, be it great OF
small.

Round and square yokes have been
banished for the moment and the v
shape reigns supreme.
One conspicuous novelty is the use OF
large cut jet buttons on white and pale
colored tailor-made suits
An odd trimming on white mara

Many fancy ties are being worn just
now; bead ties and braided ties with
beaded tassels are very pretty
The new mantles, simply hung and of
rough cloth, made in the monastic man

Embroideries grow daily more beau

Big, round Eton collars will prob

linen, or decorated with squares Of
lace set In.
Cord belts are the latest wrinkle in
girdles. These come In almost any
standard shade and are fastened In
front with huge colored stone In bar
baric design.
Most of the coats are a straight
knee-length. Many of them are fast
ened with Jet buttons, and black rib
bon threads through the collar and ties
in bow In front.
Many women have the mistaken idea
that the present fashionable dress,
which seemed extreme at first, is try
ing to the figure; but, truth to tell, it
is exactly the reverse.
One Of the best of the new shirt
waist styles is perfectly plain tailor
made, of Scotch madras In stripes or
big blocks of color on white ground,
the color matching the suit.
Plain gored skirts prevail. One OF
the new models, plainly gored, has q
front panel trimmed at each side near
the bottom with three of these big jet
buttons, one over the other.

"Ws were all crazy to meet our new
sister-in-law," said the talkative Miss
Mention, $50 when Sam wrote that he
would bring her from Texas to spend
August with us we could hardly wait
to welcome her.
Eve arranged to 60 to the country,
for the poor girl had so much hot
weather at home that we wanted her
to be cool and comfortable while she
was visiting US. Sam had written, be-
fore he was married, with the usual
lovers enthusiasm, Of Jessie's beauty
and other perfections, especially Of her
remarkable amiability and unselfish-
ness, 50 we expected that our own fall
ings would be painfully apparent by
contrast.
I'VE all went to the station to meet
them and nobody was disappointed In
Jessies looks. She was fair, with
fluffy hair and bewitching smile and
her little feet, in high-heeled patent
leather slippers, were most captivating.
Her figure Was slender and her rajah
princess gown fitted her perfectly. AL

have been the most suitable for travel

A conyalescent often suffers greatly
from thirst and is not permitted to
drink enough water to allay 1t. In
such cases a slightly avid drink gener-

The fact is recalled that number of
years ago. in the early days of the wo-

wore boomers. They did not continue
to do so for any length of time, how
ever, as they came to the conclusion
that it was needless self-sacrifice on

that they may be always prepared for

Only a Cloud.
Only little fleeting cloud
On the blue of summer sky,
But it widened out and darkened DER
As the summer day went by.
Chilly it grew, the gray old earth,
And the grieved world murmured low,
Till the feeting cloud went on lis way
In the evenings sunset glow.
Little the word with its cruel sting,
But it rankles in the heart,
And my life's grown gray since that harsh
word
That has kept us two apart.
