He had no more thought Of verses.

not produce rhymes. He claimed his

Morning dress must be suited to the
mornings occupation. In these serv-
antless days most women must en-
gage themselves with the business OF
getting breakfast ready or helping to
get It. It is not the hearty meal our
forbears INDUCED in. for most modern
households have learned the wisdom
of light breakfast. but it requires
very practical dressing. Besides the
one-piece. simple cotton frOcks that
come from the weekly laundering look
ing crisp and sprightly, there are pop
uIar breakfast sets that include a skirt
and a jacket, or blouse, made of the
same washable materials. These are
the only wear for early morning
working hours.
The woman who need not concern
herself with Homework may indulge
in silk breakfast jackets or those Of
georgette or chiffon. Pretty as they
are they are not more pleasing than
those crisp cotton frocks worn by her
buster sisters.
