The most interesting tendency in the new evening gowns is towards the revived use of black, usually in thin materials. Once, black evening frocks were legion; then taboo; now, the swinging of the pendulum is bringing them back into favor. Satin, a favorite material for after noon wear, is also much used at night. Premet. the Paris dressmaker, made this extremely close fitting evening frock of satin, cut in a deep V In the back and trimmed the edge of the ex aggeratedly short skirt with two frills of black tulle set on a bias line. Red and silver are used under the tulle. All of Premet’s new evening dresses are very short and close fitting in a "collante" line. (Copyright, into In Army Circles Col. and Mrs. C. IT.

I bad cramps and faint spells and very bad pains. One day I was over to my neighbor’s house and she told me I ought to tako Lydia K. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound. So I went to the storo on my way homo and got a bottle, and took the first dose before supper. I havo been tak ing it ever since, and you ran hardly believe how different 1 feel. I had just wanted to lie in bed all the time, and when I started to brush up I would give out in about ten minutes. So you know how badly I felt. I used to go to |H*d at eight and get. up at seven, still tired. Now I ran work nil day and stay up until eleven, and feel all right all the time. My housework ia all I do in uummer, but in winter 1 work in a factory. I have told a good many of my friends, and 1 have had three come to me and tell me they wouldn’t do without the Vegetable Compound.

Do not plan any entertainment for the reception followin^rour wedding, except possibly some dignified music. It would he a travesty on the solemn ity and dignity of a wedding to en deavor to entertain your guests with games or even entertainment, flood music is the only thing that would be appropriate. Ribbon bearers go first In a bridal procession. You may have any num ber. If the church aisle is long, the ribbons could be stretched the full length, with the little tots distributed along the way, holding the dainty rib bons. Four girls would be sufficient, however, one at the end of each of the two stretches of ribbon. Wedding rings are not necessary for bridegrooms. Some choose to have the double ring ceremony, which In cludes a ring for eaa.h of the bridal pair. Indeed trains are not old fashioned for brides. A wedding gown entrain is not only acceptable and fashion able, but very beautiful. Buy sev eral of the best fashion magazines In a month or two. There will lie special bridal numbers, full of hints fur the bride’s trousseau. F. M. A.—There are mine things we ran t do In life without indicting hurt. Honest hurt is better than salved deceit. If you do not care to go with this young man I thing an honest tinderstanding between you will be your best way out. It is true it may hurt his feelings, but it would hurt more if you deceived him about your regard for him only to fling him aside ruthlessly at a later time when he cares more. If you have a good reason for not caring for his society, it may help If you tell him the rea son. If he has objectionable habits, it may help him to correct them If he is warped of them by a well meaning friend. If you care for some one else it might make It easier for him to know that you have no personal ob jection to him, but simply care for some one else. It is a great day in the life of any person when he realizes that truth Is always better than sham. It should be administered without malice and always with judgment and tact. Its alternative is sometimes silence, but never a lie. For School Set.

"Just sit still," said the quiet woman to her little daughter, "There Isn't anything we can do about It.” But the small youngster was all for getting out and trying to make the autnmoblle go. She hadn't learned not to tike things hard. The older woman was In a hurry to reach her destination, but ahe leaned back and waited with musclea relaxed. "It only makes It harder and makes us tlreder for us to try to push the car,” she explained. “I used to catch mvseif doing that on a street car when I was late—just ss If holding my muecles tense could make the car go any faster. I’ve learned not to make things any harder than I have to." What she said recalled that foolish old conundrum—" What is it that looks like a cat, walks like a rat, has fur like a cat, a tall like a cat and wings? The answer Is, "A kitten." But why the wings? "Oh that's just to make It hard." The story is so old that apologies ought to be offered for repeating It. And yet, old as It is. It ought to he raid over once In a while to remind ourselves of the folly of making things hard. And we all do it every day. make things hard that ought to be easy, especially in our thinking. We cross so many bridges before we come to them—just to make it hard, and we waste ton* of energy pushing cars that have stalled, when we know that our pushing is of no avail. Perhapa women are even greater offenders in this particular variety of folly than are men, for women seldom accept the Inevitable without a men tal battle. In great big issues this becomes a commendable trait, for more than one woman has made the Ueemfngly) impossible come to pass by her failure to accept the Inevitable. But In small things women are prone to make things hard. They don’t make quick decisions and abide by them. They like to keep a prob lem open to mull over.
