"There are several methods of hanging

are more arduous than othera."

"These aklrta that are Just craxy to have
their flats look artistic drive their hus
bands crazy In their mad scramble to be

pened over hanging 43-cent chromos than
over all the rest of the chores In the flat."
"I don't understand, however, why this
kind of work should paralyie a person's
vocal cords." puzsles Father.
"From- what I know about married men."
asserts Son, "they wouldn't stop at the.
vocal cords, hut would get paralysed al
together If they failed to rise to the ar

"Pictures; must be hung Just right to get

Father, with the air of a man who ha

"A bump on the bean has been known
to do that." agrees Son, "but when the

for lost time."
"Do you contend, then, that such con
tact might tend to loosen the organs of
speech?" queries Father.
"The last time we had a picture-hanging

Hon. "It loosened the plaster first, but the

"Decorating the home belongs In woman's

warns Son. "After one trial on the step

"1 see no reason for a man to get ex

"As for me," concludes Son. "If f had
to wear out my bird-like voice hanging
works of art around the flat I'd save It
for the stovepipe stunt. As the prlr.e trick

me, that's the real cheeae."

Guests On entering a house to pay a
call a man should leave his coat and hat In
the hall, but a girl must wear her hat Into
the leception room. The exception for the
girl Is when she Is wearing a heavy fur
coat, such as Is used for motoring. Huch
a garment can be dropped In the hall and
left with the men's wraps. Any other gar
ments are put off when In the room.
On arriving for dinner, to which a man
has been Invited, he gives his name to the
maid to announce him, and takes off his
coat and hat at one. If he is expected
that evening there Is no reason for his de
laying to put off his heavy coat.

In the same way, unlesa the dinner Is a
formal one. when she should be invited to
take off hei clothes In a dressing room.
Home Weddlug Arrangements for a
home wedding differ little. If any, from
those for a church ceremony. At home
the bridegroom should stand before the
clergyman, when the bride enters on her
father's arm. The best man is at the
bridegroom's side, and the bridesmaids are
near the bride.

ous to the hrlde. precisely as when In

Wedding HreakfaM A nice but simple
breakfast for a wedding party might begin
with grape fruit. Then there should be a
thin soup, beef or chicken bouillon, broiled
squabs with a green salad, then Ices and
rakes. The bride's rake Is not served until
the end of the meal. Coffee, punch or
champagne inav be served.

Easter Sunday refurbished with fresh col
lar and cuffs of moire or white flannel.
Neither should it be of an eccentrlo model
that will attract attention at each wearing.
Black with a hair line of white Is very
smart In the early spring suits. Ho is bin
with the same narrow ttrlpe, while purple
of an especially beautiful bluish tone Is to
be the favorite of all colors. Green Is
ever an attractive tone for the first days
of spring and dark green Is among the
most pdpular of the midwinter shades, so
that a costume of dark green serge or
tweed will be smart for the two seasons
for which actually it is bought. Younger
women are to appear again In exquisite
shades of rose, robin's egg, blue and light
wood color, but the matron always looks
smartest In the quieter tones.
While there are inumerable models of
most elaborate and lntrlcute design among
the newest Importations of tailored gowns
from France, still some of the smartest are
extremely simple, and It Is these plainer
designs which the woman with limited
purse should Imitate. It Is specially nd
vlsable, when purchasing at this time of
year, to keep to the simplest models which
will remain smart no matter how many
varied fashions the realm of dress may
undergo. If the outfit has suddenly fflven
out and there Is not one gown which can
be relied upon to carry the wearer success
fully through until spring, altogether the
lest purchase will be a cloth tailored cos
tume made with medium length coat and
a skirt that hangs straight, but "Is In no
way exaggeratedly scant. Braiding Is once
again much In evidence, and Just a small
amount of half-Inch silk braiding will
greatly enhance the effect of the costume.
Black braid la used almost altogether, save
on the light materials, which, Instead of
being braided, are generally trimmed In
some other way. White moire collar, rev
ers and cuffs covered wtlh one thickness
of black chiffon are delightfully smart en

endless expenditure cf tinie, labor and even
money. For the beginning of the winter all
may have gone well, hut suddenly, with
the beginning of February, conies nn un
pleasant realization of the fact that either
some new frocks must be purchased or re
tirement from all fistlvitlen will be neces
sary. Just what Ii best to buy at this
time of year In also a difficult question.
Naturally, one desires to purchase with
an Idea toward the spring ouiftt, for In
this age of rapid changes of fashion it is
never possible to lay away in camphor any
garment, no matter how good, ami to he
sure that It will be possible to ever don
that garment again.
There are several articles of dress that
can be bought to excellent advantage at
this time of year and the first of these Is
a medium weight cloth suit. Ordered in
this between season, when the tailor estab
lishments have their most quiet time of
the year, special prices are made and tt Is
possible now to procure at reasonable cost
a costume which can be donned at once
ai d which, with the In'erlinlng taken out.
will do service through the entire spring.
This dress must, of course, be selected with
a thought to the double purpose It la to
serve, that of a midwinter and an early
spring costume combined. It should, there
fore, be of Inconspicuous color that It will
not at once be remarked as an old gar
ment when it muki-s lis appearance on
