That they are actually stupid about what they buy and the purposes for which they use it? They are all too apt to consider the need of the moment. They are wont to burst into a shop and buy what they need for that day ocensions to © along for months where that without considering the man ress will be absolutely out of place, fll the gap. Then you hear them = complain- tng bitterly, “1 | bl am 80 poor!” “T can’t afford to dress stylishly!” “No, I can't go to that party be- cause I have nothing to wear.” Now, the well dressed =woman Rever buys even @ garter without considering how many uses she can put it to. Before she makes ® purchase she has the duties of that article of apparel mapped out for it just as surely as any housewife has ar- ranged the work for her latest ®ervant. She says to herself, “Now, this dress w take me to pa ties and it do for dress-up Occasions in the afternoon. Its material will fit it for all winter, fall and early summer. 1 will make it take the place of three dresses, and therefore 1 will put into it the money for three, so that I shall really look like something wher- ever I 50.” There you have the secret! Make one dress take the place of three, and then Ro to it and buy a dress par ex- cellence while you are doing the buying. Many a woman who has deen conspicuous for her good dressing has done ft on this prin- ciple, and so clever is she, ‘usually, about her little game that no one suspects hee of resorting to the least brain work on the sub- Ject. I know a wom- an who this past M4 e winter looked jy " over her dnances © =u and found that she simply hadn't the money for the clothes she actually needed. Slide and shift the figures as she would, she could not sce herse'f dressed even respectably for the part @he had to play in life. Well, right there is where her brain got busy. She saw that the modern cape was @ thing of the simplest construction. Go she went to a store where ma- terials came cheap and she bdught enough to make a cape—which sie made herself. She trimmed it with a wide colli: of carucal in gray and she eertainly was proud of herself when she put on the wrap. Then she took every cent that she could gather to- gether and spent it on the frock to ¢ ‘wear underneath that cape and on that hat to go with the @ostume. The result was that for @bout one-third of what tho outfit would have cost her in a shop of any style she found herself quite ex- quisitely dressed in a set of clothes which has lasted her nobly all sea- @on, and in which she felt dressed as the best lady in the land, Other seasons it might have been the dress that was simple to make and the wrap which she had to buy But always there is some way of Juggling around your clothes so that you practically get something for Bothing, or words to that effect. Take the new spring things, for in- stance—those that are just beginning to appear in the shops and for which every woman's heart is longing. A tweed suit one cannot make. ‘That fs a job for an expert tailor, But where is the woman who loves clothes and who cannot make herself ono of those smart little capes that are the @martest sort of an adjunct for thie @weed sult? Any one can do It, with @ little courage, the proper point giew of stvie and a trip to the r faflor with a plea for him to do the stitching after you have basted the eape into place. How about the Bramley dresses which are favorites with every woman fiving? They are nothing without handmade and interesting collars and euffs, But it is these last things that run one into depths of coin that are @errifying. Well, the answer to that Uttle problem is as simple as can be, Simple Black Crepe Dress That Is Suita- for Many Oacasions and One Over cir pocketbooks not primed to PHOT] Joer FEOER Just buy the dress, have it a good one so that the material holds its folds sm, until the day of its death n go about the makiny of the collars and cuffs on your own account, You ean vary the pattern and the making to such an extent that every time you put the dress on, some will be bound to ask you where ou got your new frock, ‘ake the plain little round, satin hat that every woman loves to own.

A CALL FROM MARION MINTON. FTER Peggy finished writing her A letter to Townley she leaned back in her chair and gazed contentedly at her flowers. Despite the pain her sprained ankle caused her she found herself looking forward to ten days’ vaca tion from the office. She felt that every girl who goes to business gets into a rut and becomes a piece of ma- chinery, arising at a certain hour, spending so many hours tn the office with an intermission for luncheon and then going back to work until it is time to be whirled home in a subway. Day after day of this takes away in- dividuality, iMlustons and ideals, Now, a8 she sat with drowsy eyes and gazed first at her orchids from Jack and then at her violets from Billy sho saw things In a different light. his business routine could not go on forever, She would not be eighteen always and free and happy in her girlish desire to have as many beaux as possible. She must choose one of these men for her hus- band, She must at least become en- gaged and plan for the future. Late into the afternoon Peggy was still pondering over her future, Her thoughts were divided between Har- rison Townley and Billy Bracton, nen just before the dinner hour Marion Minton dropped In to see her and upset all her plans. “What beautiful orchids, Peggy !'? imed Marion. “I know Billy seat violets, but where did those come exe Jack Horner, of course,” laughed Peggy. “Jack is frightfully attentive to you," mused Marion. “Too bad you don't care more about bim, Peg.” > “He's a homely little fright.” “That's a nice way to talk about him.” “Well, isn't he?” demanded Peggy “He Js and he isn't,” replied Marion “What do you think makes a homely man attractive?" asked Pes: sy, just trying to draw Marion out. “Well, if @ man has personality and knows how to talk and how to make money, that’s all a girl cares about.’’ “And you think Jack has those qualities?" “I know he has.” “I thought you'd like him that night I left you skating with him,” said Peggy, half to herself and halt to Marion. “Since you don't care a cookle about him I might as well confess I'm head over heels in love with Jack Reed,"’ whispered Marion. “Go on," encouraged Pesay- “But he doesn’t give a snap of his fingers for me,"’ nervously sissled Marion, ‘What on earth can a girl do when a man ts wildly in love with another girl and never pays the slightest attention to her?" “Oh, she can sort of play the dear Nttle sister act, get him to talking about the other girl, then knock her and gradually win him herself.” “You talk as if you hat had ex Perience."* “Nothing like that in my family,” proudly announced Peggy, “1 simply have imagination."* “You simply have a magnetic power which 1s overwhelming,” flattered Marion. ‘*You are one of those xirls who always attract the men in great droves, At a danc you are the first girl to have your prosramme filled, At the skating rink you are the centre of attraction ywhere that Peggy Dayton gocs the men are sure to follow.” “Bosh !"* “Fact!

Life proves this. Stories which have reached the ears of the busy news- paper reporters add substance to this fact: Lovers’ Quarrel of Forty-Four Years Ago Ends in Marriage. Lovers’ Old Quarrel Ende. Sweethearts of Forty Years Ago Marry. Child Sweethearts Wed at Age of Seventy-Four. Petty lovers’ quarrels were the cause of separation in each of these cases, It took forty years to heal the wounds of the lovers in the first story; half a.century for the second pale; forty years for the third, and fifty-five years of estrangement for the fourth pair, Think of It, from forty to fifty-five years’ separation and—eventually a love marriage! The first story ts that of James Campbell of Newark, sixty-four rs old, and of Miss Harriet Vought of Bloomfield. When he was twenty and she only a year or two younger they were engaged to be varried. Then they quarrelled. The irl never married Several months ngo there was an automobile accident in Newark. Campbell was seri vusly injured. Miss Vought came to see him and to cheer him up. She std— or didn't—as the case may be. At any they are marricad aw alf @ century ago two lovers quarrelled and parted ‘never to meet again.’ So they said at the ume. But many things can be forgotten tn fifty years, and Trueman bk. Plave of Detroit, Mich., and Mahala Franks of rietta, O., decided to ‘make up." @ patched it all up," ey told Bert Maloney, the Icense clerk. “That quarrel was a ailly thing after Frank G. Rickert, former City Judge at Beacon, New York, and Mra. Joahna Sherman, each seventy-four, all Life’s “Love Brid ges” By Ruth Snyder 1003, (New Yorke Evening’ World) by Press Publishing Co, agreed not long ago that their quarrel was a silly thing. And after fifty-five years of disagreement. Both had married in the meantime, but time went on and Mrs, Rickert died and Mr. Sherman died. Now this great- grandmother and grandfather have patched up their grievances and agreed to look after each other's great grand and grandchildren. Although forty years of separation had rolled over the heads of Mrs, Anna L, Elston of Goshen, New York, and Samuel N. Puff, a merchant of Middletown, N. Y., they found that mysterious something which brings two people together whether ‘will or nil’ had united them again. Both had married in the meantime but at the time of their marriage they were widow and widower. So, it works out that despite the many stories which are printed show. ing how many marriages fail after a year's trial that there are also many tales of undying love to balance the scales of Cupid.
