: where one looks for all manner Of

which pieases those who are looking for
oddities.
The pages are broad Of white linen,
and have a three-inch border AT the top.
which is highly decorative and done in
colors.
II has been designed by ArnouX and
each picture carries out the old super
..ition Of what is best to do on each day
of the week. The decorative border is
done IN conventional old style ande the
colors are vivid blue, black, red and yell
low. Across one corner IS the name OF
the day of the week
You see. YOU are only supposed TO use
a certain paper with a certain picture
Monday. another Tuesday and on.
The paper Is without monogram or ad-
dress or house number. The only word
printed or painted rather, is the day of
the week
Each packet comes in an oblong en-
yelopt, made of heavy paper in wide yell
low and white stripes. with fancy
panel in the middle explaining what the
contents are in black letters.
The idea Is quite fantastic and artistic,
and so Paris is gleeful over it.
Naturally one may not care to do all
ones correspondence on this kind of
paper. but it makes a most attractive
gift, and any woman would Ike To have

There are 80 per cent more women
tennis players now than there were
ten years ago. What newspapers
triumphantly hail as the result is not
alone the increased status of health
and strength, nor yet the development
of brains, but the refined moral sense
that has been cultivated in the game.
In this connection the former national
champion and tennis expert. Mrs Mar

than anything else to teach women to
take defeat and to choke back the
apologies and excuses and complaints
that come 50 instinctively to the lips
