begin with, there is not the slightest ex-
cuse for elaborate wardrobes. Evening
gowns are out of tune with the times,
and the dress that can be worn as well

the one usually chosen by the bride

piles of fragrant household linens are
not required at present. The little
bride will have plenty of time to make
them, afterward.
When one comes to think of it, all
this haste has one real value. In olden
days, ., .. before the war; the bride, her
family, and all her friends worked
themselves into state bordering on
hysteria "getting ready There was
no end to the embroidery and sewing,

one concerned breathed a sigh of re-
lief, knowingly or unknowingly, when
it was all over. This is not so nova
days, when everything of necessity
must be simple and without fuss.
AT one time it was considered stodgv
and frumpish to ''do the sensible
thing" All the glamour was taken out
of life, and as TO having sensible trous-
ankind. Now, that, too, is changed.
''The sensible thing is the only thing
to have. And besides, the palmer, more
substantial things leave more in one s

Death of Willis Young.

IN this village Saturday morning after
year of illness with tuberculosis. Two
years ago Mr.. Young did kind and

man i'll with tuberculosis, on account
OF the extreme cold, could stay in his
camp in the woods no longer and Mr..
Young took him in, sharing his rooms
with him, cooking and caring for him
In his great hearted way until almest

developed the same disease. To him

II you are planning a trousseau Or sim
ply overhauling your wardrobe with an
eye to the summer needs, the sensible
things are the most important. Illus
trated here are two that are most at

touch of dainty hand embroidery and
the pettieoat with its deep ruffie of en-

to wear under the flmy summer frocks.
The deep V-shaped neck has narrow
Valenciennes insertion and lace to out
line it; around the trim waist, satin
ribbon is run through beading, making
a nice finish. The corset cover and the
petticoat are of white wash satin, but
they can be made just as dainty of
batlste or nainsook. The satin is real
ly practical, however, as it will stand
many trips to the tub, and does not
muss so easily as cotton goods which
must be starched.

Simplicity Without Loss of Charm

All New York seems to be turning
to thoughts of trousseaus and other de-
hghtfully frivolous dreams. The lin

somehow different from lingerie of 9TH

sheer bastistes and delicate satins and
silks, as bewildering as they are, all i'm

the bows of rose and blue ribbons on
the negligees seem to proclaim this
new allegiance. The dainty things are
just as bewitching as ever, even more
so, If that were a possibility.

made " trousseaus that may be selected
