I OVELY and elegant small dress &C
Il cessories, that catch the eye and TO-

reputation for good dressing than
most women appreciate. 1t is because

average income is often able to out
shine her weather. sister in the
achievement of distinction in dress.
Very little jewelry, and none of that
very cheap, but an indulgence in the
pretty passing fads of the hour in
neckwear or girdles or corsage bou-
quets or wells, is the wise rule to fol-
low. They may be short-lived but
they add zest to the matter of dressing
and charm to what would become 9TH
erwise tiresome.
Just now ribbon flowers and new
neck ruffs are keeping their makers
fingers always busy. With coats fast
ened up tighter about the neck and
often finished with fur, there is pro-
vided just the setting for the little

use of fur-like pushes in entire cos

The suit is made with straight

The design is especially we'll suited
to the material, which seems most

Then there are roses, mostly In
American beauty colorings, but made
in pink or yellow, Also that are pinned
in the high-necked collar or on the
lapel of the open-throated coat. Bands
of velvet ribbon with frills of maline
at the back fasten under single satin

little beauty spots in the street cos

For the evening corsage splendid
roses of velvet. set in rose foliage, are
made and, for the youthful wearer,
satin morning glories, with the ribs
of the flower outlined with the tiniest

with millinery foliage or with a leaf

ribbon daisies and small rosettes of

Is almost tragic to think how much
happier and better this struggling
world would become if kind words
were more often heard. We all, every
day, come in contact with those who
are in Eugene Fields state of mind.
They are in our own homes; mothers
and fathers and children. They are

employees on trains; they are servants

their name is legion. A word of ap-
