If the pretty suit for spring, which
Is pictured above, had nothing else
to recommend it but the charm of SIM
plicity, it would still possess the best
of all attributes of the street dress.
But it has also the distinction which
belongs to novelty in design and is
compellingly good to look at.
This is one Of number of new mod
els in which taffeta is combined with
cloth in making up suits. In this
particular case it is made up with
serge. The skirt is wide and plain,
with most of the fullness disposed at
the sides. The facing, of serge, is
very wide and is set on to the taffeta
with double row of machine stitch
ing. Skirts made in the same way,
of cloth, are faced up with leather in
the same color as the cloth, set on
with a small piping Of leather and

the season.
The smart coat of taffeta is designed
with a yoke of serge and finished at
the bottom with wide banding of
it. This is rather an exception to the

Everybody that is young enough
and some persons who are not, ap-
pear to have adopted one OF those
many styles in hairdressing patterned
after the Bobby" couture. The Gas
tie bob" made popular by the famous
dancer, requires a bare forehead with
the hair drawn back and bob at each
side.
The Bobby couture is youthful look
ing but sometimes unbecoming. only
the possessor of a beautiful brow
looks well with it entirely uncovered
To get over this difficulty the wearing
of a narrow band of velvet or other
ribbon bound about the forehead has
come into vogue. Although not mucn

The Ideal Wife.

A Scotch divine. dealing with the
subject of the Ideal wife," said he
considered that the ideal wife of mod
ern times must possess three great
qualities: Fidelity, and this meant
loyalty and devotion. Perfect conf
dence was the basis of domestic hap
piness; trust was the foundation on
which it must rest. Industry, and this
comprised housewifely ability, dill
gence and efficiency. The ideal wife
should be able to glorify the common
place. Stimulus. The third quality
she must possess is wifely inspiration,
incentive and encouragement. In
times gone by subsection and submits

ciples, but our ideas have undergone
great changes, which should be all for

LOOKING FORWARD.

Come, then. oh, care! oh, grief; OH woe!
Oh, troubles! mighty in your kind!
j have a balm We neer can know
A hopeful mind.
There never was wiser saying
than "all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" The same ruling
holds good in regard to girls. There
is nothing that will take the life, hope,
spirit, so quickly out of girl as a
dreary routine of work, day in and day
OUT, with no CLEAN of brightness to
look forward to.
l question the justice of those who
require their girls to lead too soil
tary lives. There is but one youth
time. 1t is passing as swiftly as sands
through the hourglass. If girl who
works hard in factory or shop all day
yearns for bright, light, gay scenes
and merriment at night, she should
not be scolded into believing her
yearning a sin. 1t is but the natural
impulse of youth. 1t is as needful to
her as the sunshine is to a flower.
Girls cannot very well attend some
places of amusement alone. Mothers
and fathers are too tired to accom-,
pany them. Brothers are not over
active about taking them. The maid
pines in secret, wearing the best part
of her life out in loneliness. Every city
and large town is full of just such
girls, with unsatisfied, longing hearts.
If the society matrons In such
places were looking eagerly for some
good to do. their kindly intent would
materialize If they were to take a
score or more of such girls under their
wing. One night week to go to the
movies. night the next week to cha
peron them to a dancing entertain
ment, where she would know who
their partners were and that only in
nocent pleasure would result from the
Joy of the evening. Such girls lives
under these conditions would be JOY

There would be something to look for

Young girls may love home and
those within its walls ever so dearly,

the right chord in the heart. Ii
handsome face goes with his youth,
nine times out of ten he is so mucn
in love with himself that he would
rather be a free lance, counting many,
but evading matrimony. The man
who is plain of face, too engrossed IN
business matters to think of girls I'M
til he suddenly encounters the right
one, bends all his energies to the win
ming of her. He has no other loves,
no other irons in the fire. He feels If
he misses her life will hold nothing
for him, so little does he know OF
feminine hearts the wide world over.
Truth be known, women are more
prone to encourage the suit of the
man who is neither young nor hand
some. Bless his heart, he does not
know or feel that he stands at the
very head of matrimonial prizes. The
woman who wins him for husband
is the envy of a majority Of her Sis
tiers. They know she has won man
who will appreciate and adore her.
No heart pangs are apt to be hers in
the line of jealousy. She can trust
him. He is always grateful to her for
having married him. He is sure a
girl of her beauty could have wed a
handsomer man.
He will do everything in his power
to make their married life one grand
sweet song. He will have no wish to
deck himself out in fine clothes. His
aim will be to spend every cent he
can afford to enhance her beauty with
every furbe1ow so dear to woman's
heart. Her will is, in almost every
case, his law. She can coax and
wheedle him into doing whatever she
pleases. A sigh from her lips would
worry him more than any amount of
reproaches which the wife of hand
some man could fling at her spouse.
All in all, the man who Is neither
young nor handsome is sure to get the
very best out of life and love home
and happiness. He excites little envy.
Men are not afraid of him and invite
him to their homes, knowing that he
will neither make love to their wives
or try to run away with them. He
does not know how well off he is, how
high he stands in the estimation of
the world of women and men, He
should take heart. What he considers
his defects are in reality his winning
cards

rule of landings on street suits, but
is admirable because it corresponds
with the skirt facing, as 1t should.
The plain, wide belt is of the serge
also and the sleeves are finished with
cuffs of it.
The sailor collar is made of the taf-
feta and stands rather high at the
back. 1t is protected by white or
candle collar with scalloped edges,
and this is decorated with black hem
stitching, another of the new-style
features for spring. In the coat, as
in the skirt, most of the fullness is
gathered in at the sides at the waist
line, where it is apparently confined
by the belt.
1t would not be easy to find more
dependable style in spring suit than
this. 1t is one of many in which two
materials are combined, but it is not
always done with such nice balance.
The silk and cloth are of the same
shade and usually in dark colors.
Less practical but very elegant suits
are made in light gray and in tan
color.

The Habit of BEING Happy.

Keeping oneself reasonably happy is
a duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that
to get out of the habit of enjoyment
is to get depressed in vitality and
vigor, to weaken in efficiency, and to
grow old before ones time. There is
nothing like laughter-not empty.
headed laughter, but the intelligent,
wholesome, kindly-hearted kind-to
keep people young and fresh and fit
for business and the obligations of ltv-
ing. OF course this is prescription
not easy to live up to always, but
there is no reasonable excuse for not
trying to do it. Sometimes it is just
about as easy to be happy as to be
miserable if one makes up his mind to
it, and there is no doubt at all as to
which pays the best.-Onward.

gas, and it was with great difficulty
that some of them were revived.
