PUILING TOGETHER

A period of business depression or
failure, the loss of position or other
reVerses, the cutting down OF income
and the many dangerous sequels to
this dire disease, may bring the hus-
band and wife face to face with n
financial crisis. 1t Is the entrance to
a time of stringency, strain and sac
rtflce, with no exit made visible even
by the telescope OF optimism.
It means a reconstruction OF the
home regime on siege lines; there
penses. and many OF the Injuries are
quietly removed from consideration,
and many of the old necessities are
promoted to the luxury class. Finan-
ding arises from a mere science to the
dignity of an art, and every dollar
has to work overtime and do the duty
OF two or three.
Chatting restrictions take the place
OF the old freedom, wants grow i'm
pudent and ins;stent. and a new at
mosphere fills tho home. 1t Is a sit
uation requiring slow. careful watch

FASHIONS ARE RETURNING.

Curious as II may seem, the pre-
dominating influences at work among

hardly be an uglier, more impossi-

on that those awful eighties. You
remember tho little tight-fitting, mar
rowchested basques, the bouffante
undersbirts and the foolish bits of
lace and ribbon, OF fringe and bead
work, that passed for true elegance
In those unenlightened days.
Yet with all their fragrant disre-
gard of the laws OF simplicity and
restraint and beauty thoy have fur
nished us with the basis for some
really lovely things. The flshwife
skirt and the laveuse tunic, which
were truly terrible when hips wore
huge and waists were wasplike, are
positively charming in combination
with tho present silhouette. The
overskirt is caught up across the
hont and allowed to trail downward
toward the back quito as it used to
do 80 years ago. The undersNrt
