Announcement has been made of the enga cement of Miss Molla Blur stedt, former holder of the national womens singles tennis championship. to Franklin Mallory of New York city.
 Though the news will be received with joy by Miss Bjurstedt's thou sands of admirers, they fear her forth- coming marriage may mean her tenn porary retirement from the courts.
 Her fiance is the New York repre- sentative of Drayton, Pennington and Colket, bankers, of Philadelphia. He admitted he did not attempt to win the "Wonder Grip on the courts. They met, he said, two years ago at Palm Beach.

HOME.

A little bit O. romping and a little bit O song, A little bit O laughter through the hall, A little bit O trouble and little some thing wrong. A little mother-kiss to soothe fl
 all. A little flash of ribbon and a glint of gingham gown, A little smile from roguish eyes Of
 blue, A little bit O cheerfulness. a little bit O frown, A little of tears for smiling through. A little curtained window and 6 happy little face, A storm of happy greetings at the
 door, 4 little throne of wicker by a little chimney-place, Nor ali the kings of ages boastei more. A little place of longing where a fathers midday dreams, VIII lead him from the sordid,
 busy way So little-unpretentio Such a rich reward it seems, For the little bit of toiling in the
 day! John D. Wells in~Rhymes- of Our Home Folks"

There are any number of attractive styles possible for the matronly woman. In fact. some of the whims of fashion really seem made for women of this type. To cite an in stance, the coat dress in popular vogue just now is a happy choice for the woman Of ample lines. Ex- tremely smart-Iooking frocks are shown today. They are best developed in jersey, garbardine or serge. If you will notice, all feature the rather long waist line that tends to lend slender ness to the silhouette.
 The figure at the left shows an at tractive means of paneling. The blouse is rather jacket-like with loose hanging panels on each side. These are found at the back as well as the front. The skirt features a yoke that grows into a panel at the front. Long, narrow sleeves com plete the frock. Can you not see it in blue duvetyn? The collar and cuffs might be banded or embroider- ed in worsted of a soft gray or in black. Acorn buttons in the colors of the dress find their place on the sleeves.
 The next froclI shows the pleasing lines of the straight-frOm-the-sh der frock. It gets its distinction from the arrangement of the embroidery on the front of the bodice. A loosely knotted girdle is all that confines it at the waist. A three-quarter sleeve that just misses being full length shows an interesting cuff line. If one were to use French serge she could make a charming frOck like this. The mention of serge naturally suggests blue. Soutache braiding in black or blue would carry out the sIenderins line of the trimming. The girdle heavily fringed in silk would be at tractive.
 A truly tailored street frock is the next. Its every line tends to make the wearer appear less stout. Take, for instance, the collar. Its straight stole line carries the glance upward and downward. The peplum falling three-quaEters of the length of the skirt is also a slenderizing medium. A trim dart here and there adds to its tailored look. And isn't the cuff attractive? This frock would be ab- solutely stunning in broadcIoth. Of course, here again, though not the only color possible, dark blue is bound to be a happy choice. The darts work up beautifully in black silk floss, and huge black bone but | tons would be just the thing to finish collar and sleeves.
 If you have noticed every dress has through some little trick increased the apparent height of the wearer and given her long lines. In no place does the trimming go from right to left Particularly is this shown in the central figure. The perpendicular line of the embroidery or braiding is largely responsible for the good lines here The thing to do is just to think" a bit more about your clothes, matron lady, and the results you get will be bound to satisfy.

H A R M 0 NY IN DESIGNS AT
 HOME

Women are so accustomed to an every year change of style in matters pertaining to dress that in house fur nishing they are apt to be unduIy influenced by what is set forth as the newest idea. But when it will be re- membered that the most hideous mistakes in the furnishing world have been perpetrated in the name of fashion; bulbous Victorian walnut and red plush, shiny oak, black leath- CT and cut glass; green leather and mission, only partly improved on by Craftsman and brown, these styles were in turn Practically put forth by the manufacturers in the vain h. B of giving the public somet-s f7ew and smart enough to put the blood old period designs under the sod for ever!
 And what happened? The period designs bobbed up again, stronger than ever, and filled our hearts with wild enthusiasm after we had been forced to gaze at these other new and ugly things, no matter which way we turned.
 But we have learned our lesson, for 1t Is been proved past all doubt that there is a certain homelike, cosey living room that any one can have, a living room bought piece at time. without the hint of a ''set' of any thing, an ageless, colorful, alluring living room, so beautiful that its con- tents can be willed to great grand children with the assurance that nothing better will ever be found.
 1f l,s I-s.- and ends with mahogany, and each piece is bought as it individually can be afforded. If there is a settled scheme well established in the mind. less expensive substitutes for some of the pieces can be used for a while chairs of wicker. a kitchen dropIeaf table painted a flat colcr and engag- ingIy decorated with posies; a cot bed nicely covered and banked with eff fective pillows until that sofa can be afforded!
 But the real piece to work toward are a desk, either the bureau variety shown in the group or a secretaire with O glaSs-doored space for books above: a gateleg table, an over stuffed or a Virginia sofa, an over stuffed wing armchair. shown in the group: an overstuffed chair without the wings. Windsor chairs. possibly a tall-boy, many mirrors. plain lamps with cretonne. plain silk or decorated veilum shades. built in shelves for books; plain light walls of a neutral tone. characterful cretonne curtains. some cretonne in the upholstery, some plain velour. and unobstrusive Wilton rug. All these things work to- gether for perfect harmony and are l.warrantsd- Sive-5aJ.

Birthday Bio-Bnefs Famous Women
ANNE HUTCHINSON.

A woman who caused much diffi- culty in New England soon after its settlement, came from Lincolnshire 10 Boston in 1885, and was the wife Of one of the representatives of Bos- ton. She established religious meet ings for women, and soon had large audiences. Her want of orthodoxy threw the whole country into a flame. A convention of ministers condemn ed her teachings. Mrs Hutchinson was called before the court in No ve-nber, 1637: she was banished from Massachusetts. Going, finally, 10 the Dutch Colony near New Haven, she, and all of her family then living, with the exception of one daughter, were killed by the Indians in 1643.

 In these days of H. c. of L. it is unwise to overlook any resources that will add good nourishing food to the nations supply.

Plenty Of apples are now coming into the mar ket, many of them classed as "culls" or windfaIls, which these apples are, of course, more work to prepare than the hard picked apples, but good re- suits can be obtained with a little pa tience when for sauce, pies, apple hitter or for canning. Hand picked pie apples such as Grovenstein and Wealthy varieties, cost retailers 75c to S1 a basket.

ETIQUETTE

Flowers are almost as an unfailins adjunct of the proper dinner-table as the knives and forks. Sometimes they are arranged in a splendid silver and crystal epergne with fruit. Very rare ly fruit alone, artistically disposed. takes their place entirely, but as a rule the floral decoration occupies the centre or tho board.
 At a formal and fashionable din- nor, the smoking is over by the time all the guests reassemble in the draw ing room, and then those who have engagements elsewhere may rise and take leave, explaining the cause of their early departure. To remain an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half after the meal is concluded is by some people considered proper.

If a woman were asked to name her favorite dress material, no doubt eight out of every ten would exclaim "georgette." Why? Because of its versatility. It combines practical wear with beauty of texture and adds to that a quality of the modiste. For afternoon frocks it is incomDarable. yet it is in evening gowns that it reaches the height of is loveliness.
 This gown is built upon an under slip of dark blue taffeta. over it in a swirl of draperies is placed geor- gette in two colors electric blue and black. This combination produced a gorgeous color scheme. Blue beads in a flower motif adorn the skirt, and a cord of blue chenille finished with tassels completes it.
