A certain little woman has told ot her struggle during the first year of married life. “l was just twenty when 1 mar- ried. My lover had adored me; he had told me that 1 was a saint, a goddess on a pedestal. He never spoke to me of practical things or scemed to want to have me discuss them. The last years of my single life had been passed at a fashionable toarding school. He was proud of the finished manners, the social ex- perience that I had acquired. He spoke only of these things, and I gained an idea that he required nothing else. “After marriage it scemed to me that everything came upon me in 1 perfect avalanche. [ found that my Lusband had tastes and requirements {of which I had known nothing. He was fastidious at the table and his bachelor days, which had been pass- cd for severa! years at the club, had taught him o be exacting in serv- ice, We were not rich and 1 could rot hire expensive servants.

Today he is my partner in a domestic contract. We do not clash because I keep things ruaning very smoothly. He respects me, and in many ways I admire him, but the girl that was in me is dead; he killed a part of me in those first days of our wedded life.” Men should think of this when they marry child wives.

THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAXND, FLA., FEBRUARY 28, 1912 PILED WITH RIBBONS|BLOUSE IS COMING BACK| FASHION'S DECREE I}l HAT DEC- CRATION FOR THI3 SEASON. Late Winter and Early Spring Milll- nery Shows Ribbon and Silk Bows In Abundance—Many Fancl- ful Forms Seen, It Is surely becoming the fashion to confine the decorative finish on hots to one material, but this must be used in abundance. For instance, on late winter and early spring millinery ribbon and silk bows are very popular, They are made unusually large, wired to stay in place and designed in many fanciful forms. Changeable taffetas, striped satins and messalines make brilliant bows, light in weight, in spite of the abund- ance of ribbon and silk used. From five to eight yards of No. 80 ribbon is the average allowance. Clever ribbon pleces are made of shorter lengths, de- signed with a view to economy, Bows are supported by fine wires and are made on foundations of buck- ram, ready to be sewed to the hat. Fringe, as a finish to ends, lends & pretty touch and an ornament of metal can often be used to advantage. The changeable taffetas are most often seen in green and blue, green and red, blue and gold and good com- binations of bright colors and gray. These silks make the long, wing-like horns that trim the moderately small turbans and hats of nacre braid which are shown everywhere with much suc- cess. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. WILL APPEAL TO HOSTESS Bridge Score With Pencil Leashed to It s New and Very Useful Invention, We have grown used to having a pad for the telephone to which a pen- cil is fastened by a flexible chain. Now appears an invention that will appeal to the distracted hostess—a bridge score with pencil leashed to it. This consists of a leather pad with corners like those used on a blotter, under which the bridge tablet is easily slipped for frequent removal. At the top of the pad is a brass or nickel standard, with chain attachment for the pencil. It is so flexible that the pencil can be used at any angle, yet springs into place when not needed. Any one who knows the trick pen- cils have of getting lost at critical moments will appreciate this con- venience. Another useful novelty for a hostess who entertains much at cards is a small silver pencil sharpener. This, having a ring at one end, can be at- tached to the pencil standard on the pad, to save scurrying for a knife or pew pencil whea points break or get blunted. Old and Useful Friend Returns After Eclipse Caused by Rage for “Little Frock.” Foremiest among the revivals of (he‘ winter will be the return to favor of | our old friend the blouse, which snf-‘ 53 fered a period of almost total eclipse z % durlng the summer, when the all (-ml-i‘f» 3 quering “little frock” swept everything | i:\‘; before it. It comes back abeolutely & & in its earliest nand most elementary | form., The shirt waist was the shape | in which the blouse was first made |2 known to us, if one excludes the old Garibaldi, and this year it will reign again in all its trim simplicity. A variety of pretty designs is al- ready to be seen, Tucks are the fa- vorite, indeed, almost the only form of decoration, occasionally set in groups or arranged in varylng widths, | but most of the new blouses are made ! with half-inch tucks at regular inter-| vals across the front and back. Plain sleeves to the wrist, finished by a straight cuff, not too tight fitting, and either a tucked or a stock collar, and a little breast pocket, into which a dainty handkerchief can be tucked, as well as buttonholes cut on the bias, will be features of the shirts in ques- tion, For morning wear the leading ma- terials wil be plain and fancy challis, nun's veiling, washing silks, silk pop- lin, and the pretty and useful cotton poplin, better known as poplin linen, which washes to perfection and s sub- stantial enough to be very comfortable wear on a chilly autumn day. It is produced practically in all colors, and has the crowning merit of being very inexpensive. Striped challis will be very fashionable as a blouse fabric and looks charmingly dainty made with a stock collar and a little tie to match the stripe, Even silk and satin blouses will be made with the utmost simplicity, If for evening wear, the sleeves will reach only just below the elbow, and will be finished with a band of lace insertion piped at both edges with the silk. Kimonos will still be worn, but often without a vestige of embroid- ery, the neck being finished with a narrow edging of the material, border- ::g a tiny gulmpe, with a high col- r. TO KEEP SHIRTWAISTS CLEAN Individual Bag for Each Waist Solves Problem That Often Perplexes Feminine Mind. How to keep the freshly laundered shirtwalst from getting mussed and slightly solled while it awaits its turn to be worn is one of the perplexities of the woman whose quarters are far too small to accommodate her belongings. If the supply of shirtwaists is kept in a box or a drawer, the entire stock must usually be gone over each time that one of the garments is needed, but if a bag 18 provided for cach one of the garments, the fingers need not come into actual contact with any of them until the time comes for wear- ing it. A half-yard of white cambric, foided once widthwise, mukes a bag sufficiently large to accommodate the fluMest of lingerie blouses, provided that the receptacle has a boxed bot- tom made by shirring the two sides on to an oblong strip of cloth measuring two by ten inches. At the top or mouth the bag is turned under to the depth of two inches so that when the draw-string shirrings are run in there will be a narrow frill finishing. This opening is the only portion of the hag which need be handled when looking for a special waist, for one glance into it will reveal the character of its con- tents. Any blouse which Is ever so slightly starched can be placed almost flatly in one of these bags, but one that is of net or voile must be braced with tissue paper, as otherwise the materfals will fall into creases and be- come shapeless.
