’J'he best-dressed women have_ lately been


we.ajing with their cotton and linen gowns, a string of headb. First and foremost in demand for the purpose is rettil pmk cpral, of .so pale a tone as to be more accuratdly de.scribed as white, and in ntae cases out of leu. eanrings accompany all suoh neckl.aces. Tlte.se are usually of the pear-shaped variety the one most in demand for evenilng sendee, when all kinds of precious .stones dangle from the ears of f.oshionable w’,men. Bar- I'iiiigs have certainly come to shay, and the mere fact that tlhey do not always .suit the we.arer does not .appear to deter her from exKilbi'tlin'g such ornaments.


HOUSEVHVE'S S.AVINGS. The recent decision of the Middlesbrou


County Court th.at a wifo.s savings from the housekeeping money are the- property of her hnsb,a.nd has raised a .storm, of protests from indignant housewives. It is one of those decteions w’hich goes far to justify the say­ ing that ‘ the law is an ass.” The questiolm is not new. for it has been r,aised in, the .-Vuslfian Courts with similar results, but the Middlesbrough decision is an imfoytun- ate one and may affect large numbers of married women .in Lancashire , and the Nortli generally, who have s.a\AIngp it> the hands of Co-operative Societies. It m.ay be said that the question is only likely to arise in tiiose homes where domestic quasi- rels are flte order of tlie day, Init one never'" knows what ti>moi).'ow may brirvg fortlr, and it is not for the publfc good thatt the wife shouhl be fi.able to h.ave-her sayings tiakeii from ihdr.


.-Vmong working ckass


faniiilies it is the cuiltom for the husband to hand over the weekly wage, less what he requires for jier.son.ai expenditure, .aind in itiuetv-itiiie cases out of a hundred, any stiv- iiiigs are the result of the wife’s self-denial, and frugal'-Jt.y. Ilf she Wired help, and left the details of her hbuseliold to a. char­ woman or .serviiiiit, and went to business, her earnings would be her owin. but, unless she has the express .sanction of her huuliand to save, she is not in the same iiosition with regard to ‘‘ 'money in .the bank” acquired from hoti.sekeeping savings. .Such a stale of lh.i.ngs is deplorable because it' diRiour- agc.s fho I'hril’l.y woma.ii wlV'trie.s to put by a little week b\- week, so that when, illness or i.rouhle rome-s, there is .something fpr the family to hill back upon.


.STOCK SIZES. ’The vastly improved faciliiiies wliidi ha\'e


been offered us in recent years for the pur­ chase of ready-made d'qfhang are an im- jneii.se advaiiitage to lllie woman who is of “ mpdel" size. ’ She can buy most d her blouses, conits, and skirts, re.ady to put on, but unfortunately ,\ve are not all of “mode’.’’ -size, .and complainte are made that the range of stixik sizes kepf'by the outfitters is Vi'o limited. The difficulty, however, is that we are not ah in the .same projxirtii)m. and cannot be dassified into a few groups, siidh a,s tall, short, stout, or slfim. The b’jg w.aisted woman wiH probably have shorter a.rni.s, and perhaps ii.arrower slioul- ders than the slim woman of the -.same height, and it is quite im,[xii5sible for imakefs to go by rule >'f thumh according to neck .ami waist metisurements. ITiose who aje ‘‘ al.inonnal ’’ in a,iw way, are allwaiys likely


■ to experience .some I'nouble in getlling exact­ ly what they want i'ti. ready-made gaTmePts. but the average wom.an Us now so welj catered for. in this dep.artment at all the leading shojwi. that she has little to com­ plain of on this score.


WE.’VTHER BOAS. The shop windows are already set out


with furs, but although we are wise to make atl necessary purdrajses in this direetJan promptly, we can only hqpe that several weeks will olajjse before we need to take them in.ro regular wear. The irtterviiil be‘ tween clvifTon airal gauze .scarves, and'furs will undoubtedly be agalin fdled u]-) with o-strich leather boaS- 'the most useful v.ariety being the ‘t Mliipped-' wit'll a-slight sprinkling of long curled -strands which afford ai pretty light,, fluffy appeiarance.
