Miracels in economy can be
done with the aid of nimble tin-
gers and odd lengths of material
and all most girls need to rescue
their creations from that “made

bat ”technique".
Since the civilized woman has
not yet been born who could re-
main contented and happy with
but one hat per year. I should con-
sider it my duty as the fiancee of
a poor man to learn to make my
own. ,
1 should also learn how to man~
age a home.
If I lived with my family. or.
failing that. had a married sister
or friend, I should ask to be per-
mitted to undertake the entire
lioupeboid management for a
period of weeks. '
I would thus realize what it
means to have to get up at an
early and uninspiring hour with
unfailing regularity; prepare
meals and ‘wash up three times a
day; make the beds; do the
shopping: do the dusting. and so
on throughout the list of essential
household duties.
Then. if at the end of the period
the situation appalled me and I
talked wonrily of the eternal
drudgery and demoralizing effects
of housework. and. if the pros-
pect of a home of my own with
similar tasks unnerved me. I
should know I was not intended
for a poor man‘s bride.
But. if on the other hand. 1 en-
joyed the work. my self-imposed
training would stand mo in good
stead. I should realize the neces-
sity for a schedule that goes by
clockwork and a system eliminat-
ing all unnecessary drudgery. So
that when at last I went to my
new home I should not endanger
those first and often difficult
months of married life with that
appalling ignorance of household
matters that mars the early his-
ry of so many “bread and cheese

Buying One of the New Tailored

' HAT are you going to do
about the neckline? is the
question that always pre-
sents itself to women when they are
invelgled into buying a mannish—or
rather boyish—tailored suit. If the!
really wanted to be masculine they.
would wear an upstanding linen col-
lar. duly tied in front. and let it go
at that. But of course the charm
of manniah clothes as they are worn
today is not that they really make
you look more masculine, but‘moze
feminine by contrast.
And women—most. of them—seem
to know instinctively that they don't
look their feminine best without
something in the way of scarf to
relieve ihe severity of the neckline
of the strictly tailored suit that

And. more all. you can dress

Violet Ingmham‘was the richest
girl in Midborough. She inherited
her money from her deceased
father. who had invented some
little knicknack or other, which
enabled him to die worth that in-
definite but satisfactory amount
known as "a plum”. all of which
went to Violet. excepting a same
clent annuity to her mother—41
THERE is really something to

beautiful and had already passed.
her twenty-second birthday. She
intended to get married. but wins
resolved to marry when and whom
she.,pieased. So ‘far no "whom"
had pleased her.
Meantime she busied herself
with various philanthropic enter-
prises. Among other things she
belonged to a society whose object
was to get shop girls who desired
them. positions in the country or
at the "seaside for the summer
months. Being in the office of the
aforesaid philanthropic society one
day her attention was attracted by
a conversation between one of the
institution's beneficiaries and the
paid secretary—a capable spinster
whose chief grievance in life was
the way the charitable ladies who
hired her kept interfering with
and boggling her work.
“Yes, Miss Atkins." the tired~
looking girl was saying, "if you
can get me a job scrubbing floors
in some farmhouse twenty miles
from nowhere I might take it. But
no more seaside hotels in mine.
I've stood it a week and how I
ever did 'it I don’t know." And
she gave a description of the life
of a waitress at a summer hotel
for the particulars of which you
will have to consult some of those
lovely and entertaining brochures
of women writers who specialize
in that sort of thing. “I’ll bet you
couldn’t stand it a week yourself."
said the tired-looking girl.
Violet was of an adventurous
turn of ind." said she to the
secretary a the'giri flounced out.
“Why not try ittfi” replied the
secretary with a little touch of
ssperity. She particularly ob-
jected to Violet as one of the most
.meddlesome of her many em—
players,
Now Violet was not of a nature
to take a dare without making
good. “I will.” she replied snap-
nily. "Get me a job."
Two weeks. later behold our
dear Violet juggling dishes in the
Ocean View hotel. There are sev-
eral hotels of that name. This
was the big one. the expensive om

duties. it would not have been so

more unused to her duties and her
incompetence rose to the nth
powerh—wbich is. I believe. about
the limit. At least all the guests
she waited on said she was “about
the limit" and undoubtedly they
were right.
There was only one among

those whom she tortured with her
mlnistrstions who did not anathe-
matlze her to her face and to the
manager.
That one. however. was a "star
boarder." and his good word kept
Violet—she was Clara Smith on

second day of her trial. He Eras

always faultlessly dressed. who
kept very much to himself, though
every guest in the hotel made des—
perate attempts to get chatty with
him. The why and the wherefore
of this universal attempt to culti-
vate an acquaintance with the
young man was that he happened
to be the son of an extremely
wealthy father—which is a. hap-
pening much to be desired.
But the only person with whom
.Philip Pellham was chatty was
“'ith her he couldn’t seem
to have talk enough and devised
ways to keep her hovering about
his table. to the great envy and
scandal of the womenguests and
the other waitresses. And waiting
on Philip was the one bright spot
in what had now become the agon-
ized round of \iiolet’s daily life.
It is true she spilled the soup over
his most cherished pair of trousers
and brought him broiled ham
when he ordered fried chicken—
and a few little things like that.
But he did not seem to mind.
At last the term of V’iolet’s ser-
vitude drew to an end. "Mr. Pell-
ham." said he one day at dinner
as she sprinkled him with the
salad. "I am going away tomor-
row—and I want to thank you for
having horns» with my awkward-
ness. and to say good bye.“
"Going away? So early in the
season?" exclaimed Philip. “Well.
I am going to leave tomorrow my-
self. Can I——or—speak a. few
words to you alone before
you go?"
Violet was silent for a minute
.and then said slowly: “I shall take
jéthe ten o’clock train
gmoming. I shall be at the station
get five minutes to ten. You gin
gapeak to me there." And she vain-
Iished.
3 She was at the station on time
inext morning and so was Philip.
i“Mr. Pellham.“ said Violet
gfrigidly, "you said you wanted to
lspeak to me. “112: was it you
wanted to say?"
"I want to say." returned the
ayoung man. “that I can‘t let you
$80 away out of my life in this
imanner. I must see you again.
iPray. don't

3 "Oh. dear. there's the train."
icried Violet. “\‘Veil. if you have
:any other job in mind which you
gihink I might flll satisfactorily

an address on a. visiting card.
ébanded it to Philip. and bolted for
'the cars. As the train pulled out
Philip read the rand. ““‘ell. I‘ll
be jiggered." said he. "Old
Simon Ingraham's daughter! What
in time was she doing down here
as a waitress? Ticket—seller, give
me a time-table. please. I want
,to catch the next train to Mid-
iborough. .
As you can readily imagine. the
next job that Violet took was a
life position as Philip Pellham’s
wife. At, the present writing she
is so occupied by the care of her
increasing family that she lets the
paid secretaries of the benevolent
societies res; in peace.
