Married Life THE WELL DRESSED GIRL

By Fannie Ward

By MABEL HERBERT URNER.

Accompanied by Beautiful Pictures Exclusively Posed for This Page.

ISS WARD is acknowledged to be one of the best-dressed women on the stage. As she chooses her own costumes, and superintends the making of them, there are few persons bet

ter fitted to instruct girls and women how to look to their best advantage. Incidentally, the costumes shown in the picture contain manv helpful hints to the girl who would alwavs be in style. ED-ITOR.

he led the horse back to the stable, while the others went on into the sitting room.

Aunt Mollie was exclaiming over' Winifred. "Why, Helen, she's beauti- ' ful! What big blue eyes! And look ! at the dimple when she laughs. Why j she is much prettier than the pictures you sent us." ! "Oh, those pictures were just cheap !

snap shots Warren took. "And how is Warren?" inquired her aunt. "You father and I did not think he would let you come. But I suppose he will soon be coming after you." "No," Helen answered, after a slight pause. "I am afraid he is too busy for that." "But, Helen you are thinner and so pale." Aunt Mollie gazed at her anxiously as she helped her off with her wraps. 'Haven't you been well?" "Why, yes, I have been fairly well. But you don't expect a married woman to be as blooming as a young girl, do you?'

"Of course I do. After two years i

of marriage a woman should be in her prime. But we must not stay talking here. Supper has been ready so long. I am afraid it will not be fit to at. Why, Elizabeth, to Helen's mother, you look all fagged out." "Yes, the trip was pretty hard on mother,' answered Helen. "Well, you will all feel better when you have had a good supper. Come right on out; it is on the table now."

"And here is Martha," Helen shook

hands with her cordially. Martha had been the "hired girl" in their family for many years, and was devoted to them all. Dr. Allen, having put up Topsy, came in now and they all sat down to

supper. He bowed his head and repeated the few simple words of grace that he had used ever since Helen was j a little girl. Had it not been for Winifred beside her she could almost have imagined . that she was a little girl again; for!

everything was the same. The same china, the same caster in the center of the table, even the same silverplated napkin ring on the spread wings of a bird was before her plate. "Why, mother, my old napkin ring!" turning over to where 'Helen was engraved on the side. "Yes. Aunt Mollie has been using that. Her horn one got broken." "No, no, father, only one piece oi chicken," as Dr. Allen helped her to both the breast and a short leg from a heaped up plate of fried chicken before him. "Martha has made your favorite cream gravy," smiled her mother. "You remember how you used to love that over your bread? Helen laughed, "I don't think I've had anything as good as Martha's cream gravy since I left home." Martha, who had just come in from the kitchen, beamed with pride. "And salt-raising bread and quince lellv and stewed black hprrips' tiioc0

are the things I miss so much in New ' A

York. They don't have them stewed j fruits and jellies and preserves every j meal as you do here. Oh, no, Winifred mustn't have them! Just the i rice with a little milk is all she can

have tonight." The Family Group. After dinner they gathered around the big reading table in the sitting room. Aunt Mollie got out her crochet work and they talked of all the family happenings since Helen's marriage. It was ten o'clock when Dr. Allen finally said. "Mother, you and Helen are too tired to stay up and talk any more tonight. Go to bed now and get up bright and early in the morning." Helen smiled. How often had she Jieard her father say just that. She kissed him affectionately good right. Half an hour later she was undressing Winifred In the room that had always been hers. And it was still just s It BBed to be. Nothing had been changed.
