Gowns of this kind are prettiest
when cut by the simplest patterns. In
the example shown here the sleeves
and body are in one; the shape of a
flaring sleeve is outlined by scallops
embroidered in lines on the body.

pleasing workmanship, that u.s., they
are part of the finish" which makes
the hand-embroidered garment elegant

the materials which it is worth while

the face by pinning locks of 1t at each
side to form what are called water
waves" One way Of doing this is to
dampen the hair and comb it back. A
band is then bound tightly about the
head and the hair pulled forward in
curves by means of the toilet comb.
The waves are then pinned with small
wire pins in the position left by the
comb.
The back hair may be arranged in q
psyche knot, as shown In the picture,
or in three fiat coils across the back
of the head. Or it may be wore in q
high coil at the top of the head. In
any case the band is not taken on
until the hairdress is finished.
Narrow velvet bands about tho hair
are very fashionable, and they are
also very useful in holding the hair in
place.

The rec rose cries: "She is near, she is

The girl who waits year in and year
out for a lover who comes up to the
mark of expectancy often dies an
old maid. If she centers her thoughts
on one who is not in a position to
wed the sweetheart of his youth until
he has advanced himself in business,
she braves the criticism, in her lonely
hours, OF those who claim that she
will wait and wish for this particular
man without her hopes being realized.
Sentimental fancy, if waiting and
wishing ardently, putting off the day
so long looked forward to, wrecks hap
piness in the long run.
In her youthtime she sympathized
and planned with delight from the APP
proach of the bridal day to the ami
versary of their happy married life,
with pictures of events, and lively,
good times. 1t was simply delusion,
feeting, dragging along for years
and no wedding bells for her. Living
in the country, where everyone knew
of postponenents, and disappoint-
ments, with gossipings, and counting
of her age, as well as observing her
fading charms, was not to be endured
by the woman whose heart hungered
from waiting. ~" IL As@"
The city, which lures thousands of
newcomers who have left pleasant
homes in the country, adds this
stranger to it's cramped quarters and
unsatisfying environments. Where
should the woman alone and among
strangers board?" was her first query.
4 homelike boarding house had a
hall bedroom, which she was obliged
to take until more desirable room
was vacant. Where should a woman
boarding away from her home receive
the few friends and acquaintance
that might come to the door to visit
her occasionally? She wondered. To
attempt to talk to anyone in the little
stuffy parlor was worse than seeing
no one at all, especially if the gen
tleman was an old acquaintance whom
she wished to see. y
The woman who had moved to the
city was sensible and good. The one

had come to her, in her little cottage,
on the eve Of her going to the city;
and asked her to write to him, and
when taking her hand, said in low
voice: 1--WE have been sweethearts

conclusion as yet. Will you allow
me to call upon you in the city and at
last to talk over the all-important
question, if it is not too late?"
