Rainy Day Clothes.

There was a day when rain meant
unbecoming and unattractive clothes.
And that day vas not so very long
ago. There were some becoming rainy
day clothes then, to be sure, but un-
less one looked we'll in a tan water
PROCEED covert or gabardine coat, or in
oilskins, or in a rubber coat Of some
kind, one did not appear to advantage
in the rain. Nowadays there are all
sorts Of pretty and becoming rainy
day clothes. OF course. the topcoat
hat is absolutely waterproof is still
desirable. 1t may be Of the thinnest
silk fabric for summer, or any heavy
winter fabric may be waterproofed for
cold weather rainy days.

FACT, FASHION AND FANCY
Paragraphs Calculated to Interest

Paragraphs Calculated to Interest
York County Women.
More than half the troubles Of mar
ried people are the result Of want Of
tact. Sensible matrimonial partners
soon learn the ways and whims Of
each other, and, by tact avoid the
rocks which for ages have shattered
the happiness Of married life. For in
stance, a sensible wife soon discovers
that her husband does not like to be
asked his reasons for everything he
does. Nine times out Of ten he does
not know what they are himself. A
prudent wife will not try to ape her
rich neighbors, nor nag her husband
for the money he cannot afford to give
her. She will have the courage and
independence to accept her life as she
finds it, and make the most Of it. No
wife ever realizes her most brilliant
expectations Of happiness. She will
never be quite so happy as she ex-
pected to be, but she will not grieve
over that. She will take the goods the
gods provide and be thankful. The
average man expects a good deal Of his
wife. He wants her to stay at home
when he Is out. He doesn't know
why, neither does she; but 1t is so.
He wants her to be there when he
comes home. 1t does not seem right
If she is not. A tactful oma will
not stand on her dignity with her hus-
band, for 1t doesn't pay. The average
husband has many and varied peculi-
arities which are totally incompre-
hensive to women. Do not try to I'M
derstand them, for you cannot, and
that is all there is about 1t. II you
are going to be married, make up your
mind that you will be patient through
the first two or three years, while you
are getting used to each other. This is
the critical period in married life, and
II 1t Is passed in safety 1t Is generally
fairly plain sailing afterward.

The Seasons Sleeves.

Sleeves still remain long. reaching
from shoulder to wrist; many are
finished with a point or a flaring cuff
which falls over the hand. AS the
warm weather advances it would be
we'll to have the sleeves as transparent
as possible. In direct contrast, many
evening gowns have no sleeves at all,
but have a fulness Of chiffon or tulle
carried over the shoulder simply to
hold the bodice in place.

Save old socks and stockings, sew
