ECONOMICAL DRESSES. ; ; How to Be Well-dvessed on a Smnll ' Income. il.ov to lie w - II gowned on :i small iii. mill' has hen a burning question iii the fi in in i n- world since fashion in di'isf: lirsl In-yan. Perhaps even Mrs. Adam worried as to lunv she should ; drape a limited number of tig leaves ; n becoming style. i It is- a natural desire anum? women j to look as w ell as I heir associates. Sime unfortunately go farther, and deaght in outdoing others, but this is an unworiliy impulse, and, let us hope, entertained by few. The lirst step m planning an ocon-i ocon-i Clinical wardrobe is to select such cloth- 4 inpr as will look well on various ocea- ; sions. Kxtremes of style are always ; extra vacant, for, if worn often, the '. wearer is known by her clothes, and if worn with other garments less ele gant thry immediately mark her as j 1 h&viriK bad taste. The effect of a broad Ik -leathered hat is absurd with a plain ! set ire pown, yet this combination is one of the commonest exhibitions of tinsnitahility in "dress. Some women will pinch on other things and buy a Haunting; hat, never realizing that this ! ; wild creation simply makes their other tlofhinp shabby by contrast. The economical dresser is wise if the sticks pretty closely to tailored " gowns for street, and medium sized hats of unnoticeable tones. Indeed. !for the pirl who poes little where regular reg-ular party gowns are required, a handsome hand-some tailored suit and a variety of pretty waists covers the largest item in her necessary dressing. j 1 know a young- woman who always looks nieeiy, if unnoticea hly dressed, at the parties and small gatherings she frequents. She manages in this way. -t the beginning of the season she buys a material suitable for an even ing gown, but which is dark enough in tone for afternoon wear as well. To this she has two waists, one for evening and one with high neck and 1 , sleeves. "With the evening- waist f she devises fancy trimmings which 1 tan be attached to the skirt, and, pres- i ' to. she has two gowns. A heavy, well- made broadcloth suit and a .walking :, suit, w ith a .few fancy waists, a pret ty dress hat or a walking hat eom-i eom-i : pletes an u t f i t which marks her as well dressed. She might have spent the same amount of money on a collection of miscellaneous garments which would i have been incongruous together, and have made her look like an unwise patron of bargain sales. -An experience,! buyer, w ho knows a reahy good thing when she sees it, can take advantage of out-of-season sales; but. naturally, these sales contain an accumulation of goods of varying .j qualities, many for one reason or an- otbei undesirable. The early bird in the shape of a sharp bargain hunter ; gathers in the best articles. Then her credulous sister picks up a miscellane- i I i 'us collection of things "because they were so cheap." She fills boxes and trunks with the results of her struggles strug-gles at the bargain counter; nothing matches, and she linds to her dismay that her cherished purchases must wait I" until such time as they will work in one by one. - - - -I do not want to. decry the bargain sale. It is a useful institution; but it is a perfect Lorelei for allurement to f.ome women. These foolish vii-c-ins j !.- ""iiii-u. j iiesc- iuwimi .virgins buy belter skelter,, and. come' out of it with empty purses and a stock of clothing which will make them look like animated grab bags. -$ - . Women "have the reputation of being cleverer at "putting the best foot for-v.ard" for-v.ard" than are men. "When a man is down on his luck he is apt to blunder blun-der along and Jet' everybody know it. r-Tho. fertile-minded -woman .thinks up schemes by which her' private econom-; econom-; i"s shall remain hidden from public gaze and gossip. 1 heard of an amus-. amus-. iug instance of t'his lately. A young woman who had been ae-custoiiici ae-custoiiici to a home managed in rather good style, was suddenly reduced to a very meagre income. She moved to a neat-looking lodging "house, selecting one which bad a presentable front door und hall. She took a small upper room totally unsuitable for the reception of ! isnors save relatives or her most in timate gir friends. She. however, sent ,.ut cards to her long list of ceremonious cere-monious calling acquaintances, with 'Tuesdays" engraved in the corner. She took the door attendant .into her confidence, and on Tuesdays she was , always "suddenly, called away," ac cording to the truthful-looking maid. .--Atjoiher girl who had moved into a r.ew city had been heralded by some ' ' garrulous and w ell-iieaning friends as nn heiress to a considerable fortune, and the possessor of valuable family jewels. The fortune was of very mod-, mod-, est .proportions, and the jewel's con- : misled of her mother's diamond engage- i" ment ring and n paif of jewflfd' brace lets. She soon heard of the reputation reputa-tion for wealth which slie had unwit-; unwit-; lingly acquired, and half in a spirit of 'un she bought a number of paste jewels in irreproachable settings, and shone resplendant at evening functions. As she never wore these lwnhlns in the day-time the imitations escaped detection, and she remained the envy of all the girls in her set as the pos'- . . sessor of such valuable heirlooms. Marie liedeau, in Boston Republic. Use Perfumes Sparingly. Peli.-ate perfumes used sparingly are fls attractive when wafted along as the accompaniment of dainty feminity as strong extracts are offensive. Violet is always in good taste, heliotrope in some makes is an agreeable perfume, and carnation pink is pleasant when used very, very sparingly. ' The edelweiss, the llower of senti ment and po;try. is now adopted as the perfume of the moment by Parisians. . ; . I' has a subtle, elusive odor, faint and pleasing. Sachets made in the star-shape of ; the little mountain flower are made to sew inside and perfume the gown. Lavender, the pet of our grandmoth- rr' times, has fallen into disuse, and i orris root or other sachet is more often used to ja"k in bureaus and trunks containing clothing. - A little package of lavender will, however, retain its refreshing scent I ; longer than most or its modern substi- i ' ' tutes. j - i ; Permit No Liberties. I t man -ever loved a girl less be- 1 . ! cause she was modest; on the contrary. 1 j modesty is most attractive, and no love I " f I is so enduring, sweet and pure as that j . : t which a man feels for a woman he j 1 "i thoroughly respects. The girl who is j " . ' content to have a man's love and not Jto trouble about his respect will sooner n't- Liter lln.l that by not caring for one she has torleited the other, and "ill rue her folly either as a forsaken i-sj. siister or an unloved wife. The Rest Cure. Kret fulness-is the certain indication of the need of rest. It is the cry of the nerves for repose. Hoctors have recog-nirtd recog-nirtd this need by establishing rest cures, where one may gain from silence and repose the strength which can be gained in no other way. If a woman finds herself habitually irritable, she should try to get more sleep, to go away from home even for a brief visit, and in other ways to get rest. |
