 Then there is the very ultra-new train that is affixed to the skirt at one side of the front. Of course it is O freak train and affected only by those who want to be very, very ul- ra-alth ough personally if one has the necessary good taste I see no req son for not being very, very ultra. This is especially difficult to handle. It must be pushed-not kicked-aside at each step. Do not make the mis- take, because you have seen some sou brette on the stage do it fairly efec- lively, of kicking your train to one side. In the ballroom it is 8. mighty ungracefu1 action. One has the kit tenish appearance of a bovine acting foolish. Instead, push it with your foot, if possible, without lifting the foot from the floor.
 Keep the length of your train in proportion to the event.
 Never wear a train on the street For afternoon wear, the little square train is pretty. For evening wear a pointed or round train is appropriate l On your evening trains, do not sp1at- | ter a lot of hirnsy trimming, or pearls or beading. The simpler the train is, the more effective and assured1y the more sensible.

 best f1nery and walking the streets for air and sunshine? It is not long ere she faces the situation that, if the fiat is not to be given up, she must go back to work. Pride will not buy food for her. She regrets from the depths of her heart that she boasted, holding her head so high, awakening some discomfort in the hearts of the other girls whom she had left alone toiling away at their task.
 She has to summon all her fortitude in applying to be reinstated in her old position. If that is taken, she is so humb1ed in pride that she is thank full to accept anything that they may have to offer. Few, if any, of the girls will remind her of her extrava- gant hopes and comment on her downfall. Instead they will put their arms about her, telling her how mo- ble she is to put her shoulder to the blow and to help out. The young wife who hasn't the family burdens at home, should not remain idle be- moaning her fate, but valientIy strike into the path of duty as she sees it. There is one hope which should be her beacon-light and that is:

Her example is a lesson to oth- CT working girls who give up good po- sitions to wed Even with the best of prospects, they are careful to say lit tie about bcttering themselves. No one can tell what the morrow will bring forth. The woman who goes back to work has learned patience and submission, and on that account is more valuable to her employer than before. Of one thing she is sure that they will both value the lesson which they have learned of not spend ing their last cent earned. The hus- l band is heartf1y-tired of coming home to cold empty rooms. He will do his best to find 8 position which will keep her where every man wants his wife to be--in their own little home where she will have plenty of her own duties to perform, instead of working outside of it.

What girl can keep the glad se- cret in her heart of her approaching marriage? If she is a bread winner, her comrades will rejoice over her prospect of having a, home of her own, a strong shoulder to lean on and will ing hands to lift Hfe's burdens from her. She may have to be up with the dawn to get her husbands breakfast, but there is to be an end of facing the winter storms, suffering cold, scant midday lunches and going to her desolate hall bedroom where the frost is an inch thick on her window pane and the ice in her pitcher frog en solid. No wonder she halls with delight a little flat all her own, warm and cheery with love and a husband to make the cold world turn into a paradise for her. There is not girl who possesses a kindly heart in her bosom who will envy this change in her fortune. She has earned the happiness which is to come to her.
 She gives hopes to the other girls by whispering in their ears that they will have 8 cozy place to come to of a winter evening and that they may bring along their best fellows:
 They bid her goodby with trem- bling lips and tears in their eyes.

but she must, of course, make quite sure that picturesque modes are for her; otherwise 1t will be better to fol- low conventional styles, adding gcru- pu1ous attention to every detail of the toilet.
 For instance, the feet must be trim ly dressed, the gloves fit well, the handbag be beyond reproach, the veil carefully and properly adjusted, no flying ends or hanging pins; the neck wear be becoming; then the suit and the hat will take care of themselves.

BEAUTY CHATS
GRACE IN MANAGING A TRAIN.

There is nothing much prettier than train on an evening gown--when en properly managed. Notice, please that I am making two reservat1ons-a train on an evening gown, and a train when properly managed. A train on any other kind of a gown save one meant for evening wear would be out of place and silly. Also @ train bad 1y handled is an abonination and a nuisance.
 In the first place, never have a train made without a ribbon to hold it with. A train that drags is pretty for just about one hour on the ordinary floor. Then it becomes caked with wax and heavy with dirt.
 There are trains of many different sizes and shapes The train that Is, perhaps, in the best taste, is the me

 For afternoon affairs, this model is delightful carried out in floral printed fabrics. It Is also possible to reduce 1t to the requirements of morning frcck by making the frock of simple materials, such as cotton VOile, cham
 To cut the dress, place the pieces of the pattern with edge marked by triple ~TTT" perforations on a length wise fold, and remaining pieces with 1engthwise thread of material In placing the pieces on the 1engthwise fold, an exception is made in the case of the stay, which Is laid on a cross wise fold.
 The pattern is SO perforated that long or short sleeves may De uSedv and the neck finished in round, square, high or V-shaped effect
 The little vest may be turned into a very decorative affair by the exer- else of little ingenuity. For instance, the lower part may be of bit of pretty braid-a piece three or four inches long and three inchies wide would be sufficient. For this purpose many dressma11ers simply take the best portions of a discarded hat trim ming, a sash, or any accessory and combine it with band of lace with the result that very dainty vest Is secured.
 The shoulders are dropping, for this seems to be one of the most favored styles this season. Whether they are long or short, the sleeves are put into the arm-holes without fitness.
 There may be cuffs of the same o1 contrasting material, if the elbow ef- feet is employed. A frin of dainty lace is the best finish for long sleeve however.
 Neither the skirt nor waist of this dress is difficult to make. The drap- cry will not bring about complication: If it is done carefully. Be sure to set that the folds are creased in the right direction.
 Instead of buttons down the front the dress may be trimmed with de sign worked out in soutache braid

EACH SECRETLY HOPES IT
 WILL BE HER TURN NEXT

She parts from them, carrying with her their best wishes. Some brides to-be leave without much ado in the way of boasting. Other girls, well meaning, but with over -exuber- ance of anticipation declare that they are overJoyed in getting out of work They never liked it, were always wish ing and praying for release from it, and hailed with delight the opportun- tity to see daylight and get out into the sunshine; adding that they would make up for lost time.
 With such girls the wedding bells peal joyously enough. But marriage does not always strew flowers in the path of those who wed. The honey moon is scarcely over ere clouds may gather in the skies of the honeymoon CTS. The husbands business plans may miscarry. III fortune or sickness may dodge his footsteps. When it comes to having no money for rent and the cupboard is bare what bride can find consolation in donning her

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST FURTHER ADVICE TO THE
 BETWEEN-COLOR TYPH
Copyright. 1918 by the Mcclure

 While the woman of the between color type is seldom spoken of as beautiful, she may take consolation in the fact that she wears well. That is, she retains her youth and fresh ness longer than the genuine blonde or brunette, no matter how beautiful or brilliant either might have been in her youth.
 The blonde will fade as time goes on and the vivid tints of the brun cite give place to a s'beefness'' or sallow- ness, as the case may be; but as often as not the little woman of the be- tween-co1or type will show very lit tie change, indeed, from the age of twenty-five to forty.
 spoke last week about the co1ors becoming to this type, and next in i'm portance to choosing correct colors is the selection of becoming styles. The dainty little woman must not over power her charms with elaborate modes any more than she may efface her delicate beauty with strong, vivid colorings.
 Fortunately for her, the styles of to-day are extremely simple, but fashions change quickly, and when the pendulum is swung in the opposite direction she must bear in mind what I say now and shape her course &C., eordingly-that is, if she would look her best.
 Prettiness rather than style should be her aim. She should wear sim- pie morning frocks, finished with a pretty lace co11or; dainty afternoon , dresses decorated with bright ribbons; also hchu effects and fri1ls generally Her hats should be girlish- looking g. mad when possible be flower trimmed rather than with feathers. All the little fripperies that make up a girls toilet will suit her, such as friI1s, but terfiy bows, and sashes. All these she may wear, taking care never t. overdo it, either in style or color.

 The second silence was complete and lasted quite three seconds. It was broken at last by p1aintive small voice, which commented runinative- ly:
