garden.
"That is the studio,’’ he said “If you

It did not matter in the least; the girl
felt she would rather walk miles in the
downpour, even across ground as sodden

Ft retched before her. where the water lay
heavily on the surface of the clay it had
beaten to a paste, rather than remain in
that grim room with its odor of stale
spirit and tobacco, its air of desolation.
“I want to go to the studio.” she said,

never been spoken, as though he had not

"Why, no, Tony,” she said. “There Is

lie drew aside the curtain and Betty en
tered.
The air struck warm and pleasant after
the damp of the garden, a large stove
glowed ruby-red at one end of the lonfc
room that was her first impression; the
next, of the neglect over everything-—the
upturned rugs that covered the floor, the
dust that lay thickly on the polished sur

Barrington hardly appeared to notice
het look or the effect of it upon her. He
had walked to the end of the studio, to
where, just below the little platform
where the stove glowed red, stood an easel
with a picture on it, over which had been
thrown a covering
“This is great work. Betty,'* he said.
"It's not finished, but may heaven send
me light and strength till it is. It will
make my poor name live it though I

prettiness, to go to the naked soul of

He drew off the covering with a flour

trembled She could not have said why.

Turkish Pajamas
By OLIVETTE.
FOR several years the ladies have
taken every poeslbie advantage
of the fashions to come as near
' nearing trousers as they possibly could.
The pantaloon skirt first, then the
I sheath skirt was divided, and after
that tame the harem skirt—frankly
, trousers. The very latest, however, is
the pannier pantaloon for full dress oc.

Pajamas are no longer sold exclu

' merits You <an get them anywhere
now where fine lingerie and dainty un
derwear is to be had.
W hen the first blushing maiden
asked the gentlemanly clerk if he had
"them'' in her size, it proved to be too
much for the young man’s nerve, and
as women took more and more to the
habit of wearing these very conven
ient and serviceable garments, instead
of the loose, lacy and cold inducing
night gowns, pajamas in ladies' sizes
were moved to the ladies’ departments
of the stores.
Glorified Pajamas.
Then came glorified pajamas in em
broidered silks and satins, and last of
all, this exquisite creation which com
bines Oriental splendor of design with
the comfort which the Chinese maiden
enjoys, that of wearing trousers with
her loose jacket. Os course, as Chi
nese women now have the vote we can
expect them to set the fashion, and
these Chinese suits will probably be
the rage for suffragettes who like their
costume to emphasize and exploit their
favorite opinions, theories and prin
ciples.
This particular set—you use the word
"set" in speaking of ladies’ attire, as
distinctive from "a pair." belonging to
the man. This set, then, is of heavy
pink satin, embroidered in pinks and
blues in a beautiful Qoral design. Be
sides that, there is a heavy ornamenta
tion in silver thread, and the whole
thing Is most sumptuous to look at.
Pink and blue are going to be favorite
colors for the wardrobe next winter,
and when conventionality conquers
convenience, a skirt of pink worn with
this gorgeous jacket will make an ex
cellent tea gown or lounging robe.
However, the modern woman will
hate something else like trousers. She
has found in the pannier* pantaloon a
combination of masculine comfort and
feminine adornment which just suits
her.
The Pannier Pantaloon.
The pannier pantaloon is made on an
underskirt slit from the hem about half
way up to the knees, front and back.
Over this skirt is draped a chiffon pan
nier or overskirt, but the loops do not
come at the ordinary height, which is
about parallel with the knees. Instead
of that, all the drapery is dragged
down to the feet separated in two parts,
and forms a regular bloomer effect.
Worn by the woman who makes the
shortest kind of steps, whose move
ments are never hurried and whose
feet are very small, the pannier pan-

Over-Zealous Friends
Bv Frances L. Garside
"I have not so many friends that I
shall grow confused among the num
' her and forget my best ones."—Nicho
las Nickleby.
THIS is the season when every' Fii’l
who has the inheritance nature
planned for her is interested in a
flower garden.
It may be nothing more pretentious
than a window box. Or it may be a
round, little bed in a corner of a, tiny
yard, or it may be as much ground as
she likes.
But whatever the size of her garden.
I am dure that nature, the most de
voted of all teachers, has taught her
that she must not attempt to grow too
many plants in a limited space.
If she makes that blunder she has
no flowers, for the fight for space be
comes a fight for life, and every plant
dies. If any survive, it is those of rank
growth, and for which she cares the
least.
The same wise little girl with her
flo/ver bed is often not so wise in the
cultivation of friends.
She confuses number with popular
ity, and believes that she can be pop
ular only by having a bosom friend in
every girl she meets.
She is crowding her little floret
garden. The result will be that she
has no friends at all.
A girl can not have a large number
of friends and be a good friend to all
of them. The very difference in their
temperaments forbids it.
A few friends are a help. Many
friends become a hindrance. In trying
to be kind to so many she is not kind
to herself.
With this friend pulling this way and
another friend pulling that way. she
gets the feeling that she is being pulled
to pieces. What she may prefer can
never be considered if her aim has been
popularity. And I take it it has, or she
would not be the bosom friend of every
girl she meets.
What she does to please one friend is
the thing that displeases another.
In trying to be a friend to all she
gets the name of being a hypocrite.
And to be a friend to all she has found
it necessary to so conduct herself that
the charge is not wholly- without foun
dation.
When she falls in love, some of this
army of friends approve and some dis
approve. The former urge the match;
] the latter come to her with tales and
l gossip and discourage it.
Every few days I get distressing let
ters from girls who are in love.

and her letter has a weekly duplicate.

"One of my girl friends,” writes a
distressed little girl, “tells me my
sweetheart is fickle. She says he once
made love to her just as ardently as he
is making it to me. What shall I do,
for 1 love him more than my life?”
What can she do? The mischief has
been done in giving to every girl site
knows the right to come to her witn
warnings and advice.
If she attempts to let her many
friends select her lover, she will never
have one.
If she refuses to marry until she has
found a man who receives the unquali
fied approval of Mary and Susie and
Jane, she will be a spinster all her
days.
Not an unhappy lot. if one is a help
ful. contented spinster. But one can't
be that with the haunting regret of
having refused a good man because
Lizzie didn't like his habits, or Mary
didn't like his hair, or Louise called him
a trifler.
She will find, after she has grown
older and becomes a hopeless spinster,
that she is lonesome. For Lizzie and
Mary and Louise, and al! the other girls
who restrained her from marrying, have
. married the men of their choice and
gone off and left her.
And it has happened many times, my
dear little friend-hampered girl, that
these girls have married the very men
of whom they disapproved to you.
