WOMAN AND FASHION

Handsome Blouse. How many times during a season occasions crop i up when a wardrobe seems absolutely Inadequate and each separate frock fails to fill our demands. A natty extra waist will often save the day, and the accompanying illustration shows a stylish model. A deep yoke facing, broad sailor collar and attractive sleeve are striking features. White linen, trimmed with narrow red sou-

WAIST WITH SAILOR COLLAR.

tache braid and finished with a dashing tie of red silk, will make a stunning blouse after this pattern. Blue linen with decorations in white or tan with brown are also good combinations. French flannel or any of the light woolen materials may be used for this waist.

Paekingr Dre.. Skirts. No crease is permissible in the front panels of dress skirts—or petticoats either, for that matter. In packing skirts never fold through the middle of the front breadth. Professional packers leave the front of the skirt uncreased except for a necessary crosswise fold and fold the skirt around it. If this portion goes without creases or wrinkles they declare the rest is pretty sure to come out all right. Soft paper and plenty of It is a necessity for gowns. All folds excepting those actually pressed In with the Intention should be separated by layers of paper.

Noveltie. In Sweater.. A sweater bolero is something new, collarless, ending just above the waist line and not fastening down the front. It is made with loose bell shaped elbow sleeves. Another novelty is the ordinary blouse form, ending at the waist, which has a square neck, standing collar and cuffs knitted of contrasting color.

Silk. Fashionable. Silk has not gone out of fashion because of the advent of hot weather. Taffetas and fancy silks, not to speak of foulards and other utility silks, are immensely popular. Gowns for elaborate occasions are made of the charming pompadour silks, which are so beautiful that they never stay out of fashion very long.

Outdoor Nealisee. In this age of the practical, when the dressing sacks or negligees are no longer limited to the confines of one’s boudoir or bedroom, dainty designs for these graceful necessities are planned with as great care and thought as any other garment in a woman’s wardrobe. There has always been a certain charm about* these fascinating little negligees which appeals to both men and women, for they carry with them an air of comfort which is distinctly agreeable and satisfying. As they often have to be slipped on hurriedly

DRESSING SACK.

those that are simple in construction are often the most desirable. The model here shown is all that could be desired. Made in one piece, it requires only a few minutes’ time to fashion a dainty garment. The trimming may be of bands or of contrasting material. It requires only one and one-ninth yards, of forty inch material, so that almost every woman would be able to have a few dressing sacks from pieces left over from other garments. Made of silk or lightweight cloth It becomes a wrap that may be worn on the street and Is quite enough protection from cold for some time to come.

A LESSON IN LOVE

The professor pushed aside his volume of Chaucer to make room for his slender young daughter on the arm of his chair. “Where tonight, Estelle?” “To the ball with Mr. Denton and Mrs. Mills,” she answered blithely. “With Mr. Denton? Isn't Teddy Variel going?” “I suppose so—yes.” “They say this Mr. Denton is a very wealthy man,” he said. “Oh, it’s true. He has riches beyond one’s dreams.” The note of personal triumph in her voice was harsh to her father’s listening ear. He regarded her thoughtfully. “Sit here on the hassock, dear. I can see you better.” His voice became almost a whisper. “This Is the anniversary.” “Not of your marriage, father?”

“No. My marriage was a subsequent date. You do not know—l have never told you—that your mother was married before she became my wife—married and widowed.” “Why, no, father, dear,” said the girl, with quick, sympathetic interest. “On this night years ago, Estelle, your mother first went out of my life. She was placed very much like you—ln a comfortable home in a college town, where her father, too, was a professor. “She and I had discovered the purple twilight In every blossom I saw her face; the dewdrop beamed with the luster of her eyes; her voice was the warbling of the birds; her smile was in the sunshine. Somehow I feel, Estelle, that is the way Teddy Variel feels of you. “Her mother forbade our engagement. I was only a struggling student, and, though her father believed that I should win fame, he did not check his wife’s ambition for her child. “There came to the town, very much like the coming of this young Denton, a man with gracious personal gifts and riches which at that time seemed immense. He had Just come into his inheritance.

“They met—and he loved her. At first she would not listen, but her nature was gentle, her mother determined and her father, poring over ancient tragedies, overlooked the one creeping into his home. I was powerless. She could not receive me when I called, and at the functions where we met she was zealously guarded by her mother and the man.

“She accepted him. She told him frankly that her love was mine; that in promising him she was acceding to her mother's will. But he was buoyantly confident that love would come. They were married, and he took her away to a mansion filled with treasures of art. She had jewels and gowns and houses—all the things that mdney could buy—but love did not come. “For a year I did not care what became of me. But I loved her and could do nothing of which she would be ashamed. I went to Egypt and began the researches that have brought me fame.

“Five years passed. The longing to see her again, to hear her voice, became Intolerable pain. I went back to London and haunted the streets, the shops, the theaters, where she might be. Then one night when I had almost despaired I saw her In her box at the opera. “She surpassed even my dreams. Her gown was soft and white. Above her shoulder a red rose lifted with the same proud tilt of her own pretty bead. I thrilled at the thought that on her I had never seen a faded flower. “I hurried out and stood In, the obscuring crowd, near enough to see my lost girl and to hear her voice as she passed. She turned her bead restlessly from side to side (It was perhaps the magnetism of my gaze; I suppose my heart and soul were in it), and then, before I realized it, the crowd had parted, and she stood before me with outstretched hands. “I could not speak. The old joy had gone from her eyes, and in them was a sadness that never lightened. Her husband stood waiting under the portico. He had grown coarse and worn, and on his face were the lines of a tyranny which would deal humiliation for her guileless taking of my hand. “I did not try to see her again. I felt it was better for us both. But I stayed near lest some time she would need me, and somehow she knew I was always waiting.

“She found her husband dead one mornftig—shot by his own hand. He had speculated, lost his wealth and died heavily Indebted. “I waited some months, and then I claimed her. I shall never forget her words that night nor the sorrowful eyes smiling into mine. She gave me her hand and whispered: “ 'Once, long ago, I looked into the heart of a purple twilight and dreamed a dream of my life—and you. Tomorrow I shall look again and see the realization of my dream. The flowers are asleep tonight, dear; but, see, the stars are shining'.' “We had two short years together, pitifully short, yet sometimes I think a day is worth a lifetime. “When she lay dying In my arms the morning you were born she. looked at your tiny pink face and said: “ ‘Some time it may come to you, my little one, to choose, to weigh the wealth of love against that of gold. If that time ever Comes,’ she whispered to me, ‘tell her the glory of my sunset. I think she will understand!”’ The din of a bell Intruded on the soothing silence. He turned to his awed young daughter. “Good night, Estelle.” She kissed him fondly. Then, as she had done every night since she was a lisping child, she went to the window, drew aside the drapery and reverently raised her eyes to the stars.—lllustrated Bits.

Musings of a Mere Man.

Poets are born, but grass widows are made to order. Matrimonial bonds are always a source of revenue—to the minister. The happiest day in some men’s lives is the day before their marriage.

A father should always be known by the company his daughter keeps. The girl who dosen’t try to conceal her age is too young to go into society, A man never knows his real value until some woman sues him for breach of promise. The purchasing power of a woman’s tears often exceeds that of a S2O gold piece. Love and war go hand in hand. Even the din of battle has a sort of engagement ring. If a man is a good listener a woman considers him an entertaining conversationalist. The man who is bound to get married is very seldom satisfied with the binding he gets. A good wife may lead a man heavenward, but a bad one is apt to drive him in the opposite direction. Beauty would be more than skin deep if the average woman’s complexion complexion could be injured in the deal. In India when a man dies his widow is burned at the stake. In America the widow takes another husband and roasts him. Many a man whose marriage was the result of love at first sight—wishes that he had been blessed with the gift of second sight.

Words of a Wise Woman.

The bald-headed man usually has hair on the brain. All is fair in love—with the possible exception of brunettes. The self-unmade man nearly always tries to lay the blame on others.

A man’s only chance to get a-head in this world is to be born with one. Intuition is what a man claims to have every time he makes a good guess. Love may be blind, but it can smell the cloves on a man’s breath just the same. When a married man gets his hair cut his wife loses her strongest hold on him. The recording angel never credits a man with what his tombstone says in his favor. An up-to-date young-man never waits for an invitation when alone with a kissable girl. The average man puts in so much time preaching that he has no time left to practice. No man has ever been blamed for being a gentleman, but many, have been falsely accused of it. The average man feels that he is only getting what he deserves when he draws a salary for doing nothing. The desire of some men to wobble around in a big place rather than fill a small one accounts for a good many failures. Possibly all men are endowed with common sense, but the majority of them seem to value it too highly to place it on exhibition.

Fowler Leader: Postmaster Williams requested the nine mail carriers to count the number of reaping machines 'they saw at work on their several routes. This was Wednesday, the 19th. The number reported being 358- On first thought this would seem to be a very large number, but when we consider the distance traveled by the carriers, 220 miles, the number does not seem improbable. If it were possible to travel 220 miles straight through as good a country as blessed old Benton the number would not be thought to be excessive.
