4 Neglected Wait

One cannot gather from reading it
why William Dean Howells neglected
to publish in book form during his life
the serial which ran in the Atlantic
Monthly in 1875. under the title of
private Theatricals." 1t followed "a
Foregone Conclusion" which came out
in 1874 and preceded "Out Of the Ques-
tion." that was published in 1876. The
year 1875 is blank in the chronology
of his novels. Yet the Atlantic serial.
which has just been published under, a
new title. namely Mrs. Farrell
(Harper & Bros.), exhibits all the
facile skill in the delincation Of feminine
character which gave IIowells his early
fame.
The serial title was descriptive, for
Mrs. Farrell, the heroine. is repre-
sented as a young woman who is con-
taking life seriously. The book is n
study OF a woman who cannot see
q man without making deliberate at
tempt to enticc him to make love to
her. She is not bad at heart, but she
has no sense Of social responsibility. AS
she il beautiful and possessed of many
feminine graces she finds it easy to get
But she discovers one
summer while she Is boarding on farm
in the country visited by two young
men from New York that there can be
emotional tragedy as we'll as comedy in
her sport. But the tragedy does not
touch her inner nature and she con-
fcsses in despair that she cares because
she cannot care. The book deals with
emotions. Although it was written more
than forty five years ago it is as con-
temporary as though it were written
about events last summer. Of course
there are no telephones and 10 auto
mobiles and no monographs in it; but
the reader does not miss these things,
which is a tribute to the genius of the

A S LONG as women continue to
u love pretty things they will love
to make them-for themselves and for
their friends. It is an instinct with
them, not to be eradicated, to gather
about them little niceties Of dress and
house furnishings, and they are in
geniOus and patient In making them.
If ever they run out Of Ideas, manu-
facturers Of ribbons see to It that
they are Immediately supplied.
Every woman knows how welcome
a gift Is when it takes the form of a
little bag for face powder and pow
der puff, that may be conveniently
carried everywhere One of these
is shown here A small circular mir
ror is placed over the bottom of a
round pasteboard box and fastened to
It by means Of shlrred satin ribbon
that is brought up over the sides of
the box and sewed to its edge. A lin.
ing, cut to fit, Is pasted to the bottom
and sides Of the box A wide satin
ribbon, sewed TO the upper edge,
forms the bag, and narrow gold lace
stretched over 1t finishes this portion
of the bag. At the top Of the bag the
ribbon is turned back to form frill
and a casing. Narrow satin ribbon
run through the casing, draws the bag
up and forms the frlll A small box
Of powder and a fat puff furnish the
equipment for this gift and the little
mirror on the bottom aids in its use.
A pretty bag to hang by the dress
Ing table will answer for many pur-
poses. Cardboard makes the founda-
ton, which is box with slopng sides.
1t has a circular bottom about equal
in diameter to an ordinary sauce dish
which Is covered on both sides with

IN THE warmth Of midsummer we
L turn away from everything burden
some, or that even looks burden
some. Maguifcence and high color
fall to charm splendorIoving women;
they are privileged to wear materials
as thin as mist in pale reflections Of
color or in frosty white. All the
diaphanous stuffs answer the call of
summer and furnish bewitching
raiment that makes US forget the heat
and burden Of the day.
A frock made of fine wolfe Is shown
In the picture, but this model will look
well in any summer material includ-
ing taffeta silk or foulard. As pic

plain satin ribbon put on smoothly.
The cardboard for the sides is also
covered, but only on one side Ito form
the lining) and Is sewed to the circu-
lar bottom. A very wide, soft satin
ribbon is gathered on one side about
the bottom Of the box and tackled to it
at intervals along its upper edge. This
ribbon is hemmed along its upper edge
and narrow ribbon for hangers run
through the hem. ..
Triangles Of ribbon or silk are
sewed together along the edges or set
together with a piping, leaving a little
opening for, the insertion of scented
cotton, to form sachets. After they
have been stuffed with the cotton the
openings are sewed up and a narrow
ribbon attached to two points on each
sachet. They are tied together as nc
tured and when one of them Is to be
used 1t can be united from the 9TH
ers and placed wherever wanted. Diff
ferent colors Of ribbon are chosen.
The simple brown canvas bag, dec
GRATED with baby ribbon, will serve for
shopping, school or work bag. The
baby ribbon is threaded through the
canvas and wider ribbon run
through the drawn portion at the bot
tom. Ribbon bows and hangers finish
Ii.
A fiat holder for manicure set and
shoe hook is made Of wide satin rib
bon and narrow ribbon. 1t rolls up
and fastens with snap fastener under
