so favorable that more than half OF

STYLES Kind to Large Figure.

Everybody knows nowadays that a
loose frock makes stout woman look
simmer and tightly fitted frock In
creases her effect of embonpoint. The
moving spirits in the syeltiine princi-
pie of dress have captured this truth
about loose lines and large figures and
achieved what was once thought the
impossible; making fat woman look
sylphlike. They select the best Of the
current styles-the modes, that ex-
press grace, distinction and dignity
rather than mere sensationalism. and
make up these modes in proportions
that fall into right lines over stout
figures.

deal In evening gowns have made an
artistic success in choosing the most

Old Form Of investment.

The oldest investment the world
knows is the real estate mortgage.
Twenty-one hundred years before
Christ, in ancient Babylon, money was
loaned on mortgages. These mortgages
were recorded on bricks and preserved
in great earthenware jars that were
sunk in the earth. They were dug up
after they had reposed there $500
years, mute evidence of this most an

New York.--It is often said that the
fashion experts dwell too much upon
line and material and are given to ig-
noring the extraordinary value of col
ors.
The charge is true. At least, the
truth of it dominates the majority of
dressmaking houses and Is present In
the majority Of women's minds. Color
is in reality so vastly important that
1t should rule every department of
dress. There are colorists who over
estimate its value to women, and they
are the ones who actually brighten the
majority into a conservatism that
often borders on the ugliness.
The trouble with the artists lies in
the fact that they do not seem to have
any tenderness or courtesy toward the
coloring of the woman who Is to wear
the garment. They assimilate and put
into juxtaposition colors that have ex-
traordinary beauty in themselves, but
when they are placed next to the hui
man skin, hair and eyes, they kill what
the artist at the expense of the woman
In way that Is not fair. The gown
is predominant; its beauty draws all
eyes. The woman is Insignificant; the
only time she comes into the question
Is when the observers think how un-
attractive she looks in that glorious
frock.
Women in the Wrong coIors.
There is no temptation in costumery
greater than the one offered by gown
built out Of an exquisite harmony of
colors. 1t appeals to every woman but
the one who Is shocked by thread
of scarlet" as Mrs. Stuart puts 1t in
one of her admirable short stories.
Mind you, these women who feel that
drab colors are part of the respectable
ity of life and who have a traditional
and mystic belief that the color of the
scarlet letter used by Hawthorne was
In itself an acknowledgment of sin,
are not out of existence. The Puritan
stock lives on, although 1t may be In
Montana, Texas or Alaska, instead of
a small New England village.
But aside of this well defined seq
ment in human society that looks upon

not be, and upon black and gray as

HOW TO SAVE
WHAT YOU SPEND
Ry RIDDY BYE,

Last week in this department was
discussed the standard divisions OF the
average income as worked out in the
Org by statisticians and economists.
Through an extended investigation OF
the domestic finances Of several hun
bred families Enge!, sn experimental
economist, discovered four basic prin-
ciples of expenditure on which the
modern family budget system is based.
These laws are as follows:
1. AS the income OF family in
creaSes a smaller percentage of the
total Is spent for food.
2. As the income increases the per
centaGo spent for rent. fuel, light re-
mains invariably the same.
3. With every increase in income
the percentage spent for clothing re-
mains approximately the same.
4. AS the income increases a larger
proportion is spent for education, rec
reation, charities, health, savings, in
veStment, etc
A PRACTICAL budget for incomes of
from $500 to $500 would divide the ex-
penses about as follows: Food, As
peg cent: rent, IS per cent; operating
expenses eight, fuel. etc.), Is per
cent: clothing. is per cent; higher
NE ~ per cent.
For incomes ranging between ST.
coo to $500 the ideal division is food.
80 per cent: rent, 20 per cent; oper-
ating expenses, 10 per cent; clothing,
30 per cent; higher life. Is per cent.
In her book on Household Manage
ment, Bertha NJ. Terrill makes the
practical application OF a budget sys-
tenn to GtypicaI case. Suppose a man
and wife with a weekly income Of $50
lived IN q steam-heated apartment.
Their weekly budget would be divfd-
cd IN approximately this manner to OBJ
tain the best returns for money spent:
Rent, 81; household expenses, 81; fuel
and light, 81; mans personal allow
ance (care free, Iunch), IS; woman's
personal allowance. 81; extra and
emergencies including dentist, doctor.
church and charities. 81; IN
Surance aud savings, s.; total. $50.
