In signing a divorce decree the other
Cay, Justice Crane, of New York, said:
This man and his wife have a splen-
did understanding of their rights. Trou-
ble always starts when rights are dis
cussed in the home. Married people
have to live together by abandoning
their rights Whenever it is nee
essary to assert individual rights" it
is pretty safe assertion that love has
departed and the divorce suit is in
sight.

remember that crash scratches, and
provide an interlining OF canton fan
mel. There is no reason why the din
ing room should not be done over for
the summer in the same way, with
linen-colored crash covors for the
sideboard and the serving table and
for the dining table itself when not
in use. If you employ a bare, poll
ished table, you will find that II
makes also very satisfactory center
pieces and dish stands. Finish the
edges with buttonhole scallops, or, II
you wish something more elaborate
and the piece is embroidered, use
coarse linen-colored cluny lace. You
can get the effect by dipping white
lace in strong coffee.
The embroidery on these dining
room pieces should be done in out
line stitch in some conventional de-
sign, though even coarse eyelet Is
possible.
Look, In short, TO the simpler ma
terials; they will give the house a
fresh open-air appearance that is
pleasant after the stuffy draperies of
winter, and they are easy to wash

these simple gowns. q.

thing.
Many hats are lined with col

with cerise, taupe with emerald

noticeable. Cherries, apricots, plums
are most generally seen on the little
