TO BE WELL DRESSED
SOME THINGS A YOUNG LADY
SHOULD AVOID.
Short Skirts Don't Always Make a
Girl Look Younger-Silk or Satin
Raincoat Is Not Utility
Garment

Don't forget that you cannot make
people think you have come to town
in motor car just because you wear
silly little bonnet or a huge chiffon
veil.
Don't imagine that you look younger
because you have elected to wear ex-
tremely short skirt; generally speak
ing, you only succeed in appearing
ridiculous.
and then use 1t for general utility
purposes, if you would be we'll
dressed. A raincoat, as its name sig
mites, is to be worn in rainy or
stormy weather, and Is entirely out Of
place on sunny day or for an even
ing wrap.
Don't forget that the veil you wear
every day becomes very much soiled
and is real menace to clear skin.
Your veil may be easily washed in
chloroform or ether, and will dry in
ten minutes
Don't arrange your hair Just like
AL the girls do now" when it is the
most unbecoming way you can wear
1t. Remember that each girl must
keep in mind her own individual style
and cater to 1t with a due regard, of
| course. for the present styles.
Don't choose clothes made on very
! extreme lines unless you can afford
to follow every whim Of fashion. Re-
| member the well-dressed, well-bred
girl is never conspicuous, and her
clothes never attract undue attention
! on the street.
Don't buy cheap flowers for your
hat trimming and imagine you are
practicing economy. The flowers will
fade with half dozen wearings and
your hat look shabby. Choose good
ribbon intsead, and while the first
cost will be a little more, the wearing
qualities of the material will more
than make it up.
Don't wear a ready-made skirt until
you have put braid on the lower
edge to protect it from wear.
Don't try to wear ready-made pet
t1coat with drawing string in the
top. Fit the garment smoothly at the
waist and over the hips. and put it on
band to be fastened with buttons,

$1,000. The bulk of 1t in hard cash
still reposed in the chest of drawers.
That, with what the boy could con-

of the journey. She had got it out
and tied it up in little canvas bag.
1t lay on the table near the lamp.
Fifteen miles south the Union Pa

1t had been her plan to ride thither
and take the first train eastward,
losing themselves In Chicago, and
thence by whatsoever route pleased
them making their way to New York.
Whether her husband would pursue
her or not, she could not tell. He
would be without the money, since
she meant to take all with her. He
would hardly be able to follow her
very soon But If he did, that was
risk she must take.
Engrossed in the present, the boy
thought nothing at all about the fu-
ture. The woman's predicament
bulked so large to his immature imagi-
nation that there was nothing else on
the horizon. There was no other hort-
ION than she, in fact. And his one
desire was to get her away to free
her.

voice manly enough in spite of his
youthful aspect.

NONRESIDENTS TO PAY MORE
Increased Tuition Fees incorporated
in University Bill as Passed
by the Assembly.

Madison.-After raising the ap-
preparation for the university extern
sion department $4,000 and adopt
ing an amendment requiring non-res-
ident university students to pay the
actual cost of their instruction. the
assembly passed the omnibus school
appropriation bill, which authorizes
disbursements totaling over $4,000
900 during the next two years for

He flung a frightful, mordant word
at his wife which stung not less be-

served, at least so far as the boy was
concerned.
"Fll settle with you when 1 get

he continued, as the boy at last sue

He was game, that boy, although his
face under its blood was whittier than
it had been when he entered the
cabin. while the other mans, similarly
snow wounded, was red with rage !;

a drunken man could scarcely miss at
such range, he nevertheless drew his

Hooks on Skirtband.

One would think everyone would
know that the best way to keep a
blouse and skirt together is not to use
safety pins, but to sew hooks in the
skirt and eyes to correspond on the
back of the waistband of the blouse
and yet, Judging by all the specimens
of waist and skirt divorce and com

still many to whom that knowledge Is

Satins Takind We'll

At the present time satins are meet
ing with favor for tailormades and
outer garments. A plain season is in
dicated, with interest centered on a
variety of satin finished materials. The
opinion is general, says the Dry
Goods Economist, that satin materials
will sell freely for costumes, and es-
pecially for foundation purposes, as
the vogue Of yelled effects has not
yet reached high water mark This
assures a sale for marquisettes, silk
volles and chiffon and, broadly speak
ing, continuance of the styles that
met with such great favor last fall
and winter.

New Motor Ronnets.

The habit of riding in motors has
become so widespread that the motor
bonnet Is as important as the every
day hat There are new ones made
up entirely of wide md narrow plated
frills. These are put on a thin gauze
foundation which is stiffened with
wire The frills are often made of
black and white ribbon, and held in
place around the middle of the bonnet
by a two-inch band of black velvet
