age.
THE life Of an American woman Is
much more healthful than that Of the
Moroccan Faddma declares, adding
that children are not numerous and
that the woman who Is a mother is
the queen everywhere. and always the
favorite wife, which does not seem so

ARE NOW FASHIONABLE

At one time any handkerchief that had
its snowy whiteness sullied by a colored
border was considered in the very worst

borders quite desirable. but complete pale
colored handkerchiefs are also chosen,

handkerchief with a different colored
border. In both handkerchief and hem
the colors are very delicate, almost pastel
tints. so they are not as terrible as they
sound. Very pale pink with an equally
pale mauve border. and pale blue with a
pale French gray hem. and orchid mauve
with a pale blue, pink or gray border,
are the favorite mixtures,

Ribbons are everywhere. They are so
beautiful that new uses are found for
them every week.
The soft folds and creases and curves
of a Well fitted girdle bring out all the
beautie. OF the loveliest ribbons and show
them to the best advantage. These
girdles are especially attractive on lingerie
frocks.
Separate ribbon girdles follow all the
lines of those attached to the dresses
with which they are worn. The high.
tight, crushed girdle of saffron ribbon
shown in the Illustration is tied at the
side in a soft. floppy bow. The narrow
girdle of printed silk. with roses Of red
and blue on an ecru background, fastens
snugly under a broad butterfly bow at

This shirt has a special claim TO notice
