Depend upon It, excellent wife and
devoted mother, if you find yourself
too busy to take a daily bath, too busy
to keep your scalp clean and your hair
brushed, too busy to go to a dentist
at the first sign of decaying teeth, too
busy to massage the blackheads out
of your skin and manicure your nails
and provide yourself with suitable, be
coming clothes, then you are absolute
3y too busy. You are either being im
posed upon by some shirker, or else
you are voluntarily sacrificing more
important to a less important consid
teration.
If it comes right down to a choice,
madam, I think your husband would
take more pleasure in your clean com
l exion than in a clean pair of attic
stairs, and I am quite sure that it is
better to provide your children with
a neat, trim, well-groomed mother to
look at at table than to harass their
little stomachs with some elaborate
and indigestible "made dish."-Wom

Novelty Buttons in Neckwear.
One of the most striking features
of the smartest neckwear is the large
'use made of small button garnitures,
'says the Dry Goods Economist. Rhine
stone, jet, crystal, cloth-covered and
pearl buttons score, In the order men
tioned. The fact that many of the
button-trimmed novelities come rather
high can easily be accounted for when
one consders the cost of the novelty
buttons used. At the same, the smart
ness of the styles depends to a large
extent upon the dlver arrangement
of these buttons.
