Concerning Time and
the Spending Thereof

the spending thereof
Tho one consolation that a woman
who may be accused OF squandering
time has. and the one argument shs
can bring to her defense is, that time Isl
not money, and, unlike money, cannot
be boarded.
II. as is easily apparent, however
that time must be spent, whether q q
woman will or no, the manner Of her
spending 1t grows at once into para.
mount Importance.
Now many women spend money to
no urpos They spend time in tho
that give them no pleasure and no
profit.
The value Of time increases in pro-
portion to the sands that are left in
the hour glass OF life. When they be-
g.n to run low q wotnan's mind
awakens to the fact that she has been
a reckless spendthrift, where most
she would have wished to have In
vested wisely and we'll.
The seconds and minutes are the
small change OF Time. The hours
represent a larger coin, and tho as
cending scale runs up into the days..
weeks, years and months.
The extravaganza OF ONE In
money matters has come to be phe-

exist in the world, though less free
quently than formerly. "A woma
miser is almost an unknown quantity.
Men can dread the future, but wo-
men. on an impulse. Will fling their
last coin away "as though money,
with a kind OF vegetable power, would
bloom afresh from an empty chest"
Money power has come to be a con-
trolling factor in modern life, and no
one realizes all this implies more
fully han women do. They easily
come to have a contempt for every.
thing that does not belong to tho
luxurious and the costly. They do not
measure their expenditures by their
real means. but buy only with regard
to the caprice OF a transient whtn, q
fleeting desire.
AS they are e~xtravagant in one limo
they come to be ~extravagant in all.
lgTime to them means the opportunity
for laughter, for light-hearted dali
%liauce. for giving with outstretched
hands. for dispensing royalty while
time is theirssto dispense.
AS time is not money and annot be
boarded. 1T is well that a woman
should make herself happy in IS
spending, that time should yield to
her all possible good for the price she
pays: that In bargaining with time
she should put away recklessness and
learn to trade wisely and shrewdly.
Else. after a while she who squan-
ders will find herself a bankrupt and
at the end of .er squandering.
Bride Lore.
Avoiding gown Is not a bridal cos
tune at all without Its flmy veil, hut
no more is 1t complete without It's
great bouquet OF roses, lilies or what
ever sweet perfumed flowers are the
favorites of the bride. The BRIDE
groom gives the flowers as a present
to the lady of his choice. but 1t is for
her to tell him What are the blossoms
that she loves the most.
A great shower bouquet of nlies.or-
the-valley combined with Eardenias is
a favorite among bridal bouquets, but
the flowers must not be too heavy nor
SO 'large as to hide the gown. Orchids,
too, combined with valley lilies or
Bride roses are much used. For the
autumn bride white chrysanthemums
are less costly than the rarer hot
house blooms, and chrysanthemums
are aver beautiful. White Bride roses
with a shower OF tiny orange bios
sons make a sweet smelling cluster
for a bride to carry. and would 30
sure to appeal to the lover Of sentl-l
ment.
The old-fashioned bouquets. with
their stiff little rows of different now
III erS, roses sweet peas. GIN
buds, with a prlm little border OF lace,
must be made somewhat larger for the
BRIDES bouquet than when carried out
Sin varied colors for the bridesmaids
It is a mistake for a bride to adams
don her bouquet. II desired a prayer
book may be carried also. but few
brides can walk gracefully up the aisle
with one hand hanging free, and then
the bridal bouquet Is much a charm
ing addition to and at the same time
SO exquisite a part of the whole bridal
costume.
Tea Gowns of the Present.
The tea gown OF the present genera
ton is an enchanting affair made on
lines that hide the figure, yet show Its
good points, apparently extremely sim
pie, yet In reality most difficult to con-
lure, and. as a rule, costing more than
in palest rose pink, with a fitted under
dress OF chiffon and a short jacket of
sheerest applique lace embellished with
tiny bowknots and rosebuds worked in
ribbons of different tones, was truly
adorable. Another model showed "a
long wrap of pale yellow pompasour
Ichiffon bordered all around with gold
colored ribbonRwith an under-dress of
:. yellow chiffon. The wrap or cloak was
caught in at the back by a satin Eirdle.
Unfortunately, much of the grace OF:
the latest tea gowns is lost withgthe
d%iscarding OF the long train. At the,
same time the straight skirts touch

and becoming to a slender figure and.
to all Of petite builds.
Among the so-calIed3tea gowns. there
is one style of dinner dress which;
