same system that he went about the
study Of banking upon his graduation
from Harvard University in 1899.
Young Morgan was born in 1867 in
New York city. Since his graduation
from Harvard he has kept up per-
sonal interest in the institution and
he is now one of the overseers of the
university. He began his business ca

GATHERED FRlLLs OF LACE
Useful in Arranging the Fuilness on
Corset Covers Used with
Thin Waists.

A girl who is little inclined to be
thin will often find 1t hard to make
the fullness in the front of her sum.
mer waists sit just as she would like
to have it. These thin waists cannot,
of course. be kept in the proper lines
all the time, as thicker ones with
bones can. and they need adjusting
when they are put on. A great help
in arranging the fullness is to have
little gathered frills of lace or EN-
broidery on the corset covers to be
used with thin waists.
These frills are also most useful
with all lingerie gowns. Many of the
most beautiful of these gowns have
fronts that are largely made of very
thin lace insertions. and they need
something to hold them out Besides
the effect of these little ruffies is much
better through the transparent lace
and lawn than when the buttons of o
corset cover can be seen.
The frills should not be sewed tc
the corset cover, but to separate
piece of muslin, which must be ar
ranged to fasten on the corset cover
with tiny buttons, or can be fastened
with the very small safety pins under
the upper ruffie. A piece Of muslin OF
lawn must be used large enough to
cover the front of the corset cover
from near the top to below the bus
line. On this are sewed two or thres
rufiles-the number depends on the
height of the wearer and the widtl
of the lace used-made of a lac,
strong enough to stand considerable,
washing, or of embroidery.

Every farmers wife knows what tre-

have; but while they eat well they
work well, too.
Here's good suggestion about feed

house Of Morgan, Harris & Company.
In 1904 he was permitted by his father
to return to New York city and pre-
pare for the responsibilities which
would be his when his father shall
decide he is capable of bearing the
burden. Mr. Morgan. Sr., has planned
to retire from the activities of busi-
ness life just as rapidly as he can
unload the responsibility upon a
younger and sturdier pair of Morgan
shoulders. Young Morgan is family
man.

he has been so absorbed in fitting

father is about to unload upon him
that he has had no chance to crafty

Separate skirts of soft cloth are very
wide, in fact they could scarcely be
much wider for actual comfort, and
they are plated. The sheer ones are
over taffeta foundations; those for
street wear are not stitched on the
plaits, but they are pressed into shape.
This is more stylish than practical. for
pressed pIaits soon lose shape. but
that is the style at any rate. Skirts
made of serge are smart and hold their
shapes well. They show some good
