The Housewife's nu tiii; mi;. i voru norsu. One of the things that our Krandrnothers had to think about that we housewiv.-M of the 19th century do not much concern ourselves with is the consideration of the wardrobe of the men in our families. Gran 1mother usually had to make pran lfather's ?hlrts unless they were people of considerable wealth. His suits also werri sometimes made by thi traveling "tailoress." and grandmother often sat and helped this workwoman so that she might i".t have to stay so long and charge o much for the task. His socks had to be knit by hand well, we havj most of us had a taste of what that means, whether we have knitte! any for ur own '"men folks" or not. Nowadays if the housewife darn? the socks of the men in her family e.n.i applies an occasional patch t) the underwear and supplies missing buttons ruthlessly torn off hy th laundress she feels that her work is done. Hut really, as a means for economy, quite a little more than this can he done by the wanna n of the house. Remember that men's suits haw increased in price r.s much as women's and the dress allowance that would once prove adequate for the son's or husband's clothes-needs, now will do very little more than buy shoes, suits and hats. Many a clever woman makes her husband's shirts and now that stiff bosomed shirta are a thing f th past she can usually get very good results in this way. In fact she car. make shir's that are much bette" than those that can be boupht for a small price. Collar bands may he bought for rive cents a piece and

REVEL A TIONS OF A WIFE

V By Adele a ji"ii-7r hoi k AT HOME. "Well, old girl, what sort of day did ou have?" Dicky's cheery voice came like a fresh breeze through the stale air of a closed room. I had been brooding all the afternoon. The discourtesy and ingratitute of the woman across the hall, and my experience with Harry Underwood on the omnibus had depressed me. I had sat pretending to read, but in. reality idly thinking ever since I had come back from my unpleasant bus ride. I had eaten no luncheon for we had breakfasted so late, and this was the tirsi time I had seen Dicky since morning. "A perfectly horrid day, Dicky. Oh! hut I'm glad to see you!" I clung to him as he kissed me. lie evidently read my need of his sympathy, for he picked me up and carried me to our armchair, and sat down, gathering me close to him, and smoothing my hair. "Now tell me all about it," he said. "Get it out of your syetem and you'll feel better." I had to decide swiftly how much I should tell him of Harry Underwood's annoying persistence In seeking my society. I knew Dicky's unreasoning childish jealousy. I did not wish to arouse It if I could possibly handle the situation myself. I made up my mind to hold my tongue concerning his friend's ridiculous actions for a while, at least. "You were right and I was wrong this morning about those people across the hall." I began. A COMFORTING HOUR. "Why! what did they do? Were they rude to you?" Dicky bristled at the mere idea of rudeness to me. "I'll tell you all about it. and you can judge for yourself." So for the second time I retailed the petty little story of the rudeness of my neighbor across the hall. "Py Jove!" Dicky ejaculated when I had finished. "I never heard anything to equal that. We saved her baby's life among us. and she considers it a bore to meet you. Well! I guess the next nurse maid who rushes in here with a dying infant will be told to heat It to the nearest hospital." I could not help but smile at Dirk's indignation and his way of expressing It. "Tell me all about it. this minute." "There couldn't anything like that happen a train. It is too strange an accurrence to come more than once." "I should hope so." Dicky's tone was still wrathful. "It us forget all about it. I'm sure I never want to thins about It a sain. "All rieht. What did you do whn you walked away like a tragedy .jueen?" "Neatly walked into an automobile and hail my life saved by a policeman." I smiled at the recollection. "What! You're joking. Madge!" "Indeed. I'm not. but there wasn't any dinger, I think, even if the policeman did scold me." He listened quietly until. I had tinished. then took me by the shoulders and s!.ook me playfully, yet the grip of his hands hurt me. Put I did not mind, for both the clasp of his hand- and his scolding words w at med my heart w ith the me -sue of love and concern f-r rne they betrayed. "Don't ever, ever do such a thing a train." he said. "What do you think would become of me if anything should happen to you? I don't want to think or talk of it." He shook hi shoulders as if throw Snc off the memory of the occurrance. "I hope you had a pleasant ride. it sureiv ?hould hae been a danly

Economy Calendar

i the rest of the work U simple, straight ahead pewing machine stitching. It is best to get a hirt pattern from one of the paper pattern concerns and then to rip up an old shirt that has proed especially well fitting. The paper pattern cau be modified from the ideal ,-hJrf and then if you are going to use it frequently rt is a good idea to cut the tissue paper pattern off in heavy paper that will lie more smoothly on the shirting. Most men have some little notion about the way they want their shirts made. They like the cuffs of a certain size and width. Perhaps the sleeves of bought shirts are too full for comfort in Stimmer. Perhaps the shoulders are too narrow. Well, the home sewer can take these whims into consideration and thus produce s'lirt that U more satisfactory than oi.e that is bought. 3-or younger mm there are some very nice open neck shirts that caa h made at home to advantage and one of the pattern companies has r. pattern for a so-called V. s. army shirt, with the regulation two pockets with huttoned laps and th soft attached collar. This Is an ideal outing shirt and one that may easily be made at home, Pajama patterns may also he bought and made at home at a t-aving. There is a paper pattern for men's overalls. According to the description in the pattern book they "are very simple in construction and inexpensive to make. For gardening or any kind of dirty work they are very useful." And so indeed they would doubtless prove to he. (Copyright. 1918.) Garrison to make up for the rest of the morning." I smiled grimly to myself at the hateful memory of the ride. But I must not let Dicky suspect the truth. "The ride was well enoush." I said Indifferently. "Mr. Underwood boarded the bus a few blocks after I did and rode a number of blocks with me. He Is rather tiresome, don't you think so?" Dicky looked at me keenly. "ot many women say that about him." he replied. WHAT DICKY SUCUUISTKII. "Well. I think him decidedly tiresome," I returned. "When I ride on the top of a bus, I either want to he alone, or have a really congenial companion with me." "Like me?" Dicky teased, smiling at me. "Like you," I answered, returning his smile. "Dinner ready," Katie's voice broke In. "And here I have not even my overcoat off. That's what comes of comforting down-hearted wives," Dicky hurried into his room. The little talk with Dicky had restored my cheerfulness. We were both hungry, and we made a most excellent meal, neither of us talking much until the coffee came in. "I have a dandy scheme for tomorrow." Dicky lighted his cigar as he spoke and stretched hlms'lf luxuriously. "What is it?" "Well, if tomorrow is like today, I've just got to get a whiff of country air. Today was like eprins, and the minute anything like spring comes, I'm like a fish out of water until I get to the country. There's the bulllest piece of country out on Long Island, about 2." miles, real brooks and woods and meadows and things like that. And there's an old inn that date? back a hundred years or more where you can get the hulliest meals von ever ate." AX APIOINTMi :XT HEM KM"We'll go to bed early tonight, and get up tomorrow in time to take the 8:10 train from the Pennsylvania station. That will get us out there at nine, and we'll have a long, glorious day." "Oh! Dicky, won't that be splendid. I don't know of anything in the world I would rather do. I have always wanted to live in the country ever since I left it when I was a little girl." "Well! I don't know about livins in It the year around." Dicky said dubiously. "I Imagine it would be an awful bote in the winter time. Put in the summer time it is the only thins to do. That's one thing I want to go out there for tomorrow. Perhaps we can pick up some place we would like for the summer." "Oh! Dicky" I repeated inanely. To live a whole long luxuriously summer in the real country. It was too good to be true. I had had short trips to tummer resorts, weeks of vacation spent at farmhouses devoted to the entertainment of summer guests, but housekeeping in a real country home it t-eemed like a glimpse of paradise. "I know you will enjoy it tomorrow." Dicky said. "By the way. amuse yourself with this for a fewmoments. I'm out of cigars. I rind. I'll run out and get som." "Thi" was a box of sugared almonds, my favorite bonbon. I fettled myelf luxuriously in my chair to wait for Dicky's return when a sudden disquieting thought struck me. Tuesday was the day I had arranged the meetinü with Mrs. Smith to diseui-s my leadership of the hitory section of her cluh. T could not with Dicky after
