They suffered and looked forward to
future happiness. They would not
seem to make this world permanent by
sharing its gladness with the heather.
Theirs. in truth, was religion of hope
and patience. not Of triumphant recol-

Popularity of the SmOCk

The gardening fad, which took a
strong hold upon the fancy of the
city dweller and the suburbanite,
this summer, was responsible for
the introduction Of the smock. 1t
has become decidedly popular with
housekeepers and promises to find a
permanent place IN the wardrobe.
These smocks are fashioned of dark
blue linen, chambray, duck, and
similar materials, often trimmed
with shocking IN contrasting thread.
They are especially practical to
slip on over an afternoon frock
when there Is some slight task to be
performed which might possibly re-
suit IN a spot or stain on the gown.
The woman who delights in regild-
ing a picture frame, or Frightening
mp a piece Of furniture, will also
find them convenient, as they are
generally made up in a somewhat
heavier material than the regulation
apron, and, therefore, Cifer more
protection.

Detachable Sleeves

With never a thought of the
washboard or the Hat iron, one OF
our big dressmakers, in the early
spung, designed a dainty tennis
costume. This costume had a huge
faring pocket on one side for tennis
balls, and detachable sleeves were
arranged TO button on TO drop
shoulder; they could be removed
when playing, and buttoned on
again when the game was over. 1t
was a pretty notion and a highly
practical one for the tennis girl; il
was still more practical for the
housewife and she readily adapted
it from the frock Of serge and satin,
with its tight fitting smart sleeves,
to her frock of chambray aud cotton
crepe. Now, instead of rolliug
back, plnning, wrinkling, and gem
orally soiling fresh dress, she
merely removes her sleeves, pro-
ceeds with her work, and when the
necessity for freedom of action Is
past, buttons them on again. The
wide pocket, too, is made good use

of both dresses and aprons. They
come in very handy for carrying a
dust cloth, \ short handled duster

or some other article to be used at
various times during the morRing;
besides being useful, they break the
severity Of the dress and render il
more becoming.
Buttons are used TO trim these
dresses, too; but they must be a

Pearl buttons, which are not remov.

ment is laundered, The large pearl
or bone buttons, however, the

Of the practical. The skirt, which
