The wearing of jabots IS the chic of
the moment. 1t is chic because 1t Is not

smart to wear a jabot at all unless 1t Is
made of the finest point lace and tulle.

whispered: What in thunder's the

something decent to wear" Would
you tell her? 1t will make a fuss.

her husband IL too good-lookins

lose him. I scarcely know what

AN ANXIOUS SISTER.
I have several. Your sister is one
of the kind who dtgnifies her false
economy with the name Of self-sacrt-
fee. She wants the babies to have

You are right. 1t will make a fuss

joyment OF spending herself for her
babies.
