M EW women are thrifty by ma

hnA tical aconomy is more often
acquired through the effect of
their girlhoOd surroundings and bring
Ing up. If a woman has been used to
seeing her parents stretch a dollar to
do the work of two, by the time she
marries she has learned most OF the
makeshifts which an insufficient in
come enforces.
If, on the contrary. she has been
brought up In home where no thought
was given TO the nickels and dimes.
where true economy was unknown,
then she is very unlikely to settle into
provident prudent housewife.
One sees cases, however. where girls
from wealthy families upon their mar
riage 10 the poor men of their choice
have developed housewifely shrewd-
ness and thrift that is almost uncanny,
considering their previous lack Of ex-
perience. SO It is not impossible for
girl unframed in economy to develop
into a good housewife. but it is rather
unlikely, and the cases where IL does
happen concern girls of unusual
strength of character who have will
enough TO overcome the habits OF a
lifetime.

come a woman must learn how to make
every dollar go as far as possible when
she is spending and TO make every OBJ
iect which is already bought last as
long as possible so as 20 prevent fur

truth OF the old axiom that a dollar
saved is a dollar earned, and try to
take such good care OF her present
possessions that she will not have 10
buy new ones for long time.
Household linen is frightfully ex-

HR% warmth and satisfaction there

there is discomfort. These are
not quite the words OF the old win
ter but at any rate they serve to eI-
press woman's attitude toward
clothes In general and coats in par

No woman with the slightest interest
in dress will consent TO do without one

If she is forced by a limited ex-

So. to alter slightly the text OF the
old saying. of making many coats there
is no end. They express themselves
in every form of cling. and curve, and

modiste. and the materials used are as
diverse as the shapes Last year we
all owned allegiance TO wool velours.

most attractive of the newest coats are
those carried out In chiffon velvet

mark of smartness. To prevent any
misunderstanding about extravagances

coat, being equally suitable for day OF
evening wear. serves a double purpose,
One delightful coat seen recently
was circular in shape. and at firsi
glance suggested a cloak, until you
noticed the apertures outlined with
natural black musquash, into which
wide bell-like sleeves were inserted
II you wish the cloak conception 70
prevail, you thrust your hands
through Embroidered slits at either
side, when the sleeves become abb
sorbed in the ample folds and only a
cloak remains. The collar suggested
