If a woman gets only 500 from her

nucleus of a modest -produe-

Independence is in the air, and the
better woman has handled and in

a happy and comfortable home.-

There was a time when a wife felt
it her duty to hand over her inher-

to do with it as he would. But that
day is past.
No matter how much a woman
loves her husband, her inheritance,
large or small, should be safely in
vested in her own name and kept
there until she dies.

$4,000 from her fathers estate, and
Immediately proceeded to remodel and

One-Piece Frocks

One-piece dresses have stood the
test for practical wear and women
everywhere are accepting them with
enthusiasm They are indeed time
savers; closing in the front no assist
ance is needed in buttoning and what
is even a greater saving of time, no
adjusting at the waistline is re-
quired Business women will prob
ably appreciate the convenience Of
this kind of dress even more than
others. Another point in favor of
the one-piece frock is it's general
simplicity of construction; even the
amateur dressmaker will have no
trouble in making one.

Shoes and Pillow Tops

My Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly tell me whether cloth top
shoes are Abeing worn in summer?
Also whether an embroidered scarf
and dolly set of American beauty
roses that is to be used for side
board would be suitable to match with
pillow and centrepiece of the same
design and material. Thanking you,
ISABELLE.
Cloth top shoes are pretty warm
for summer wear, I think. However.
they are modish enough. | see no
reason why the centrepiece and pill
low should not match the scarf and
doilies, but what difference can it
make whether they match or not il
they are to be used in different
rooms? If the centrepiece is for the
dining-room table have it match the
sideboard scarf by al means.
