Don't let's, get cheap things, what
ever we do said the very young
wife. Let's get along with as little
as possible until you get your big
promotion next year, and then we'll
buy good furniture that will last
always. Isn't 1t too bad that we have
two sets of bookcases-the beautiful
old mahogany one that Aunt Patience
sent me from the old Connecticut
home and our new sectional cases.
IL only we hadn't gotten the Sec
tional bookcase, or If only we hadn't
used them. But Aunt Patience didn't
come across with the gorgeous one
till we had been married a month"
She wandered into the tiny dining
room. Two bookcases and no china
cupboard" she mourned. And we
have SO much pretty china to show
off"
The very young husband followed
her. What's to hinder our using
the sectional bookcases as a china
cupboard-temporari he inquired
They have shelves, haven't they?
And that's all china cupboard has"
Splendid" said the very young
wife. You can screw some hooks
into the top to hang the cups from,
and the six little compartments will
hold our prettiest dishes easily. I'll
stand my Sheffield grapevine pattern
tray on top and put a couple of
orange candles into my silver candle
sticks and it will do nicely-until
next year.

Skirt Lengthens With Days Hours

Ono. we determined tt.e time OF the

Once we determined the time of the
day when q frock was to be worn by
the cut or the degree Of the decollet-
x&e.
ITO be sure, there were other ear
marks Of an evening frock. Certain
colors were regarded as evening
shades" No one ever wore brown for
evening then. And the intenser shades
OF green were looked upon as not
suited for candle light, or lamp light,
gas light, or whatever your illumina-
tion happened to be. There were fab-
rics more appropriate to evening, too.
But the ultimate test Of an evening
gown was its neckline.
In the days of the high-honed COLI
lars-and they were not gone in 1908
RN%as only the exceptionally brave
waJfaan who went collarless before

ce{Jhrless and no more-blouses for
nga5,ning, but we looked upon them as
e$8fpe or just plain dowdv.
,iAs,a concession to a new trend in
faIhton we wore frocks in the after
noon that were coIlarless. with may
beyaHough of a v to show the cup be-
tRGM the collar bones. Such frocks
hA4 been designed to wear with net
dicky but we became daring, and
sometimes left the dicky out
Trhis was no concession to slueam-
islssimodesty, however, for evening
frudks were low enough. In fact.
there seemed to be something inform
alodr prosaic about the evening gown
thab wasn't cut with decidedly low
bbdice.
1--WE did our best to cling to the old
trhdition. 1t gave a bit of variety to
oaf existence. If you met girl in the
high stock of her riding costume in
the morning, you rather looked for
ward to seeing the curve beneath her
chin in the afternoon, though, per-
haps, through a veil of net And YOU
were further lured on to meet her
again after 6 o'clock to see whether
her neck and shoulders came up to
promise.
Now, OF course, you may see more
of a woman's neck on the tennis court
iatthe morning than you do in formal
evening dress at night. True, there
are extremes of decolletaEe that are
only for the evening, and there is the
persistent insiStence that dreSsmak-
erS and women in general are getting
back to the more pronounced decol-
letage for formal evening, but there
are evening frocks galore that cling
to the line that barely shows the col
lar bone.
In the meantime the hem line tells
the story.
For evening, your skirts are very
long, touching the instep surely. and
probably longer, with drapery often
to. the floor.
