The car was a day coach of a New
York Central train. with the usual col
lection of travellers, all weary and tired
as they neared the end of their journey.
Outside, the whirling landscape was
merging into the night. with stray lights
of the Persey shore cleaning ftfuly from

Some weeks before, a streak of fortune
had dropped almost hundred dollars in
her lap, and she had quietly folded her
tents and slipped out of New York until
such time as an old gentleman would
forget that he had lost his pocket book
in a certain tea room
Frances had not actually stolen the
pocket book. rather she had found il on
the floor. but as she walked out of the
restaurant with it safely tucked under
her coat, she had had an uneasy sus-
picion regarding the identity of the
owner.
But that was all forgotten by this
time, and the country had palled on her
with its awful. horrible quiet The farm

THE HOUSEHOLD

Time has always been WHEN most OF
US middle class folks were subject to
spurts of having to do our own work.
IN the interval OF digging up a new
maid, or of family adjustment OF
finances when it is really imperative to
save the wage of the maid for time.
MRS Smith has no maid. She has to
10 her own work. such has been a
usual comment on your neighbor.
But it is only lately that you can add
without actually shedding tears of
sympathy-"and the washing. too" Be-
cause, as things used to be- there never
was any reason why any one should do
her own washing save because she
actually lacked the requisite dollar and
half to get some one to do it for her.
There seemed to be an endless supply
OF washwom en-usually endowed with
SIX children and an inebriate husband
That seemed to be the necessary quail
fications for these faithful souls And
whether or not six children and in
epriate husbands are not so usual as
they used to be, the fact surely is that
washerwomen are growing scarcer and
scarcer Especially for the woman new
IN a locality they simply are not to be
round The result is that newcomers,
unless they are able to afford SO large
forever above the worry of such mat
ters, very frequently do have to do
their own washing.
And it isn't really such perfectly
dreadful work after all Most every
woman will admit that sire would
rather do it than sweep or wash
dishes. An electric washing machine
robs it of many of its terrors, and even
without this convenience the right sort
of equipment in the way of washboards.
boilers, baskets, etc. make it much
easier.
But it really is surprising. Two young
brides, loking very dainty and spright-
ly in their best afternoon finery, are
supping tea at the next table in your
lavorlte tea room. 1t is not Monday
afternoon, by the way. You may ex-
pect to hear them discussing the prob
lens of usewifery-perhaps to be the
discussion of the proper way to beat up
tea biscuits or how to make manyon-
naise in five minutes. But that is not
what they are talking about at ALL They
are discussing the relative merits of
soap chips and soap powders and
whether it is better to ring clothes out
,y hand or by wringers.

The separate blouse holds its own
among the new fashions and grows
more ornamental and important as
the season advances

more ornamental and important as
the season advances
copyright 1919, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate)
New, York, October 27.-The skirt
and bodice which do not match have
shutued in and out of the fashions for
= over two centuries.
The American version of it is the
sh1rtwsist. fashion that has spread
over all the continents, even going into
the household of the Sultan of Sulu. 1t
IS told by the wife of one of our United
states army officers who commanded in
the Philippines that the wife of the
sultan of Sulu considered an American
shirtwaist her most precious garment
and that she wore it at imposing recep-
lions when she was supposed to don
her very best regalla 20 greet the con-
quering Americans. 1T is said that she
fastened the white shirtwaist with $40
gold pieces for buttons. This also was
her tribute to the o. S. A.
Far back in other eras the separate
blouse was thing of beauty. 1t is a
primitive garment reaching far beyond
our knowledge of fashions. There are
some students who say it was the gar
sment that first covered man. 1t was
merely saeaue, and it grew from the
skin of an animal to gorgeous embroid-
cry on colorful fabric.
FIRST WORN BY MEN
Women have always adopted mems
fashions, except in the very beginning
of time, and as the tunic or blouse
grew in favor dominated mems apparel
and crept into women's fashions, and
as men forsook the splendid tunic for
the ordinary trousers and coats that
were ushered in through the direc
tore. then women Rugged the tunics to
their hearts as their own. They have
never quite relinquished them.
These blouses took different forms in
different epochs The American shirt
waist is probably the ugliest form of
this separate garment. for no possible
stretch of the imagination can make a
broken waist line artistic. There is no
figure that can stand the sharp juxta-
position of a white shirtwaist against
dark skirt in an even line at the
waist.
However. the American tailored suit
made the white shirtwaist practical
sGrment, and the Introduction of sport
clothes made it necessity. 1t has not |
had things its own way, however To- |
day it is pushed into the background |
by the simple tunic revived from the
early centuries as worn by men. |
France has made much of this tunic |
in jersey. wool and silk, ringing it and |
embroidering it until its cost has run /
well over 500. Now the dressmakers |
nave adopted the ancient tunic, in I
whatever sumptuous fabric they can
find as part of a costume, the other
part being a velvet skirt.
The juxtaposition of a splendid tunic
of metallic cloth with a black velvet
skirt would have been considered arch
aic two years ago; today it is both
archaic and modern. 1t is a revival
which has cordial Endorsement.

about the waist, cut 10 inches from

words.
But there is not one of these
preachments that would not apply
equally as well to most of us who
comprise the public.
1t is poor preachment that will
not preach both ways,
But there is no rule for courtesy
The only way to be courteous Is
to feel good towards everyone.
Those of us with the true spirit
will have no trouble in expressing
courtesy.
Mere words and actions need be Of
10 concern to those with the right
heart attitude.
Courtesy is not matter of man
ners, department or etiquette.

formation and service.
| And the words Thank you will
beget good will to serve us when we

Those who meet the public are so
unused to courtesy that they will do
much to make life worth while to
those few who are courteous.
This will even apply in the hotel
and where guests are supposed to
pay directly for service in the way Of
tips.
There Is saying among hote
employees that kind words will never
die-neither will they reduce the high
cost Of living.
But these are so unused to kinc
words that they will do more TO
those who utter them with their lip
than for those who do not utter them
The way to receive courtesy is t
be courteous,
1t costs nothing save good feelin

than an expense.
Courtesy to those in the humbles
walks of life Is the true badge an
