THE WOMAN'S CORNER.
ALL ABOUT BRIDGE COATS.
{BY JACQUELINE HOWARD.}
For a really kind fashion, that freate the young and the not so young, the afluent and the im- pecunious with equal generosity, it would be hard to find anything better than the bridge cont.
The most alluring of these short coats begin by being part of an ensemble, which is to say that they match one particular dress in fabric, or colour. But the woman who is really clever over her ward- robe will wear it successfully with
at least one other frock as well.
Lovely as the patterned fabrics have been and still are, their ex treme popularity is tending to make people tired of them, and the newest little coats, like the Frocks beneath them, are more often in plain material than nok

Impatience abould be practised for its own sake, and practised so. Lasiduously that it becomes second nature, otherwise people will take you at your own valuation. If you study impatient people closely, you will find in them a force, per- sonality, something to be reckoned with, in short, character; and character is one of the most dominating things in life.
Impatience can be made to flow as easily as loquacity, it has mettle, depth variation and understand- ing, and it is never dull. But you must cultivate your own particular Lype of impatience; then, indeed, one can be looked up to!
Woman's impatience takes a de- finite form. Hers is of a lighter and more deadly nature than, man's. In two seconds by the lift- ing of an eyebrow she can turn a docile home into a cataclysm of The household is on ten- nerves. terbooks, the storm may pass, but, it must not be underestimated, for it can only be arrested by oceans of tact:
A Superior Force. #
Just Nature endows insects with miraculous gifts for outwit- ting their pursuers, so impatience should be met in the same spirit. As an example, two impatient people reac on one another, and in two seconds are as smooth syrup; impatience is at its best sur rounded by a coterie of home- loving, sensitive, sweet women, who bow before this superior force.
