The average French girl begins making het trousseau as soon as her fingers are able to guide a needle. The firnt preparation is the making and marking of household linen, which p-enerally consists of six dozen of every article necessary to equip a household. Her personal linen Is fine, solid, pretty and Intended for service, not The Trousseau 8oclety.

The linen she possesses Is such a definite aid to matrimony, that an 'qeuvre du trousseau' exists In more than 'sixty towns In France for the purpose of encouraging, organizing, and so making most effective the efforts of working girls to acquire a trousseau.

ALL A MATTER OF DRESS. Wear the Right Clothes and You'll Succeed, Saya One Woman. tsr wearing the proper shades, cut on the right lines, a woman may assure her own success, whether In business, love or art, so at least says Mrs. Edith neiiene, an artist who is now busy advo eating sweeping dress reform. Accoraimr to wrs.

Kettelle. the secret of success is very slmpfe. It is a mer matter of colors and harmonies. By the proper shades, cut on the right lines, a girl, she says, would so affect a masculine friend that he would be irresistibly Impelled to propone, or If it was the wrong man who had come to pop the question she could choose colors and designs that would prevent; him. Or a man, by dressing in the correct narmoniea ana Shapes, could so affect those with whom he came In contact that selling goods would be like taking candy from children, and finding a position would be transformed from a task for a Pinkerton detective to a mere pastime.

"I can prove my theory to be history," says Mrs. Kettelle. in the Philadelphia Bulletin. "Take, for Instance, the Marie Antoinette Then the prevailing Idea was short curves, the curve of cheerfulness. Dainty rosettes, bunches of.

ribbon and bright tones were the prevailing feature of dress. And you will find that people were nappy, frivolous and light hearted then. "Or, take our Puritan period. Furniture was straight, severe and plain. Square oucKiea were worn on me shoes, and everything gave the suggestion of torn berness and gravity.

And that was also tne prevailing sentiment of the. time. "This is the secret: It was not1 the furniture and dress which weri influenced by the sentiment of the time, but the sentiment itseir was molded by the dress nd surroundings. i "You will notice that the furnishings of a iiDrary give uie suggestion or qulet-nesa, thoughtf ulness and study, and that Is just the impression one feels after be ing in such a room for a short time. Then, uie panors i ana arowing-rooms are in bright tones; the furniture la dainty, light and impels to confidences, flirtation and social gayety.

And so It iroes. "Just as surely is the same theory or arees. un very little- cnange a man or woman can dress so that they will at tract or repel. Tney can attract confi dences, or Just as easily Inspire a feel lng or distrust and repugnance in those thev meet. "My.

theory is not a fad; It Is a science fact, ana wnen nas been properly worked out it will cause the greatest revolution In dress that has ver been known." THE ART OF FORGETTING.

IT IS A SEASON OF RUFFLES i Ruffles are here for the season. They are mostly used on wash fabrics and sometimes one gets them on soft silks, marquisettes which is grenadine done up in a new weave under a new label and also in some of the thin, lightweight woolens. There are as many ways of putting them on as there are materials. There is not much favor shown to "the old-fashioned method of three narrow ruffles at the bottom of the skirt. This remains out of style.

Bias ruffles are usually cut five Inches deep, finished with a tiny thread of a hem and edged with lace. This Is done when they are of thin fabrics. The woolens and silks have ruffles that are simply hemmed or piped or run, with a ribbon of a contrasting color. They do not lap, but show the foundation skirt between. Headings are not usually attached, for they confuse the scheme except on other than transparent fabrics, when a bias oand of the material can be used.

This method Is the preferred one with striped and' checked woolens or pongees or mohairs. QU EEN'S GRAY LATEST. Queen's gray is the name of a new gray seen a great deal In the new foulards.

It Is a serviceable fabric, doing duty for a long time without showing hard usage like most colored silks.

HOW TO SMILE. A smile is not a contortion. This statement would seem scarcely necessary, were it not for th fact that one so constantly see men and women distorting their faces in a spasmodic effort to seem friendly or witty. Ridiculous as it sounds, there is a proper way even to smile. First of all.

do not smile at all unless there is real occasion for it. Next, smile slowly. Next, do not grin. And last, do not simper. Abolish the sarcastic smile, the smile of contempt or patronage, the smile of sycophancy.

That ia. to say. realise that a sweet, amiable smile can come only from a sweet, amiable personality and "go thou and do likewise." i Colonial Dames In Session. NORFOLK.
