RICH AND POOR GIRLS.

II has been truly said that Onc-haIf
the world does not know how the other
half lives. The daughter of wealthy
/ parents has little if any conception Of
how the girl who must toll for her
daily bread exists. She has read or
heard that tenement homes consist Of
but a few dreary rooms, with little to
brighton them.

THRILLING WITH AFFECTIONS.

When a man admireS woman and
begins to pay her marked attention,
knowing full well he is not in posi-
ton to marry, does he stop to CON
slider that he is doing her Il gross in
justice? Not he. If women had hearts
that We're hard and cold, all might be
well. The trouble is wOman's heart
is tender and easily touched and i'm
pressed by the man who makes il
pleasant for her. With women, il is
but Il short step from friendship to
love.
So many young girls write HE in
this strain: "A young man has been
calling to see me for many months.
During this time, | learned to care
for him, although he had spoken 10
word of love. Suddenly he stopped
coming to see me and is gcins with
another. My heart Is breaking. What
can do about it2"
That's 1t. What can these girls do
about 1t? It seems impossible for
some girls to be thrown In contact
with attractive, manageable young
men without becoming the victim of
misplaced confidence. How strange 1t
is that men do not think Of this. Ac-
tually they court when they have no
thought of marrying. The seriousness
of the affair does not seem to occur
70 these young men.
In such a case, a young man once
said to me: "Why do girls give their
hearts unasked? l have been call
ing on a certain girl simply because
she made it pleasant for me evenings.
What is the meaning of friendship
if it is not passing social hours with
those who interest us and whom we
are also interested in. No man feels
called upon at the outset when he first
begins TO call to state, I am on the
marry" or not on the marry as the
case may be. How does he know
whether his heart is to succumb TO
love the fair creature or not?"
Affection comes after G man and

Considering Blouses for Spring

II you have considered blOuses for
the coming spring you already know
that feminine allegiance is divided be-
tween the skirted blouse and our older
friend that merelGeaches to the waist
line. The skirted blouse, appearing
first with short peplum, has met
with an enthusiastic welcome, and
now we have the Russian blouse, in
many developments, the chemise blouse,
and many OverblOuseS, all covering
half the length Of the figure. But the
practical blouse-the Shirtwaist of 9TH
er days (mOdified for the housed
goes serenely on its way, which leads
II into every wardrobe.
Blouses of today, If well made, are
higher priced than they were. mex
pensive ones are attractively designed
but poorly made, and the woman of
refined taste must either reconcile her
self to paying higher prices or make
her blouses at home; she cannot
reconcile herself to the poor work on
the cheaper ready-made articles.
Two new models are shown In the
picture. One is Of yellow organdie,
finished at the edges with black in
machine-made buttonhole stitching. As
in the majority Of new models, the
back and front are set on to straight
shOulderpieces. There are two small
pockets to relieve the plainness of the
otherwise unadorned fronts.
The white blouse is of India lawn
trimmed with val lace and edging.
Small tucks and tiny pearl buttons
