The Art of Successful Dress.

dressed so extravagantly. Yet one can
not say that the mass OF women are well

Yet how few really give pleasure TO the
eye.
Yet there are a few simple principles OF
dress which. II followed, would certainly
give more satisfactory results and need
not make dress any more expensive.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

J 1t Is none too early to plan the summer
vacation. which may not mean more than
the simplifying of housekeeping and as
much of a change in habits as circum-
stances allow The two-family house has
/ done one thing-it has introduced the lit
tie veranda. sacred to the jewellers In the
upper part OF the house, and 1t is often
converted into lving-room. breakfast. or
tea-room. and sleeping room for two per-
sons.
Two sisters, with their husbands. had
an ideal summer home last year Through
/ dfligent search they found a new house In
which four rooms in the second story had
been finished for light housekeeping and
furnished 20 rent by the week or month.
There was a good-sized balcony TO sup
plement the kitchen, living-roOm and two
| bedrooms. and II was supplied with two
couch hammocks rugs rocking chairs
and awning curtains These did not go
with the house IT is needless to say, at
| least only the curtains belonged there.
All this was near enough 10 the salt
water TO allow daily bathing and near
enough TO a large city TO permit the men
| 20 40 to business each day. AT night they
bathed before supper ahd slept outdoors.
The women having the use OF the ham
mOcks during the day. The homework
was too Insignificant 20 consider when
divided between two healthy women. and
IL was a yeritable holiday for them As
for the men, the change in the living
made work easier. they said that more
than once.
I am not much Of a believer In divided
families. ] know that there are advocates
Of short separations. but their arguments
were never convincing in the face OF tes-
timony from families which shared work
and play alike There are plenty OF
places 10 be found within easy reaching
distance OF the business centers. and their
wives and children can have Just as much
pleasure and ind quite as much health
as in resorts so far away that they can
see the masculine head only once a week.
CT perhaps less often
Men enjoy freedom have been told.
Well, perhaps they do, after they have
had generous doses Of il. but 7 do not
believe that a good husband and father
accepts separation from his loved ones
under any other pretext than that OF their
welfare. II IS an act Of unseldshness. in
many cases. know hundreds Of devoted
wives who refuse 20 accept H. and set
their wits al work on the problem Of
Transforming home into summer quarters.
I In many an attic are stored sheer window
draperies mating. cotton covers. and
rough summer furniture which are used
during the hot months when men can go
home get into outing clothes. and be COM
Portable. Trolley rides are the fayorite
diversions Of these families. and the life
/ is inexpensive and healthy
