a wide rose-colored girdle, over which
falls a deep silver fringe.
The accordion-pleated sleeves are of
pink chiffon. The square-cut neck Is
bordered by tiny ruches of pink and

with this dainty frock.

to secure this soft, fulling style, and

There Is a hint also of strings deli

Is long years since hats had these grace

The restaurant dinner aoes not aiirer
from the home entertainment. At kiiv
cheon, however, more liberties may be
taken. The table Is placed In a seclud
ed corner. For a luncheon, usually, the
number of guests Is limited to ten.
Four or five years ago the entertain
ment would have been held in a private
room, now tne pudiic oining-room is
selected, with only a screen of palms to
cut off the luncheon party from the other
diners.
While the crown of brqad-rlmmed hats
continues to be low,1 there is a decided
uplift In the new ones shown. From
this It is easy to predict that off-the-

women will favor tne coming season.
No matter how beautiful a face Is, a hot
nerohed well over the brow Is trying.

THE LIFE BEAtTTirUL
IN THE COUNTRY.
To receive and assimilate the subtle
Influences of the life beautiful, woman
must keep her perspective correct, eays
Mrs. Henry Wight (Georgia).
"if ahe haa money or social influence or
If she has not, she must learn to regard
them In their true relation, as rery deslr
able adjuncts of life, but not as an ulti-
irate end and aim of all effort, nor aa
determining factors of Jier .conduct toward
others, except Inasmuch aa they may be
used for good. The woman In the coun
try in her nearness to nature haa a beau
tiful opportunity. If ahe will cultivate her
perceptive and receptive faculties. . . .
The billowing fields of grain, the green
of the circling forest, the drift of bloom,
and the delight of perfect fruit hanging
low on the boughs, all have wonderful
messages for her alone. If she will take
the Uma to see and learn them. She
needs correct perspective, also, In tho or
dering of her home and her dally toll, in
order that she may distinguish between
those duties which are real and vital, and
those fancied obligations brought about -by
a fad or fancy of passing endurance. -Th
frills and tucks on the little frocks ,
will wear out directly and be forgotten,
and the tired mother bo none the richer, (
but the strolls and sweet communion with
each other will draw the little ones very
near to her very heart, and the loving
Initiation Into the benignity of nature, the
patient and delicate explaining of the
mysteries of life, and the Inculcated rev
erence for the divine source of all life ,
and beauty, are things which will endure,
and bring forth fruit an hundredfold."
The house of the country woman, Mrs.
Wight concludes, can be made "a beau
tiful expression of her proven Ideals,
adapted to the means she may command." --From

try, In Home and Flowers for January.
