Testing Time!

Can you stand the Test of the

Hot Damp Days?

Or do they weaken and depress you, leaving you enervated and fit for nothing?

If the latter is the case, such misery is unnecessary. It simply means that your blood has become thin and impoverished. You require a reliable blood and nerve tonic to tone up the blood and strengthen the nerves.

All over the world women and men have long known the remedy that fulfils all its claims as an earicher of the blood and a restorer of energy and vitality. Take

Blouses and Hats to Match.

Worn with a dark blue suit is the blouse of printed, crepe in lighter blue shades, the accompanying hat being of dark blue straw lined with the blouse material. On the right is a picture hat of black satin, simply trimmed with band and bow of shell-pink satin; this goes with a shell-pink satin blouse the tie collar of which is black satin lined, and a black satin skirt. Last comes a pretty scheme in ivory and green, the blouse being made of ivory crepe smocked in green and finished with a green satin tie, and the little cap of similar crepe stitched all over in green silk, and trimmed with green satin like the tic.

Tips About Tea.

[By a Tea Expert.]

The aroma of a fragrant tea, to most people, conjures up visions of a clear amber fluid in delicate china cups. But when tea is bought across the counter at the grocer's, it is just as easy to sense the smell, and at the same time to test the quality of the purchase.

PLAIN NET CURTAINS.

Plain curtains of net are very popular in these days, especially in the attractive golden tint that pro- duces a first-class imitation of sum light. But they are pt to lose their charm after the first laundering unless they are very carefully dried. Haphazard drying produces hema

Marriage After A Career.

IS IT TOO GREAT A RISK!

Can a woman make a success of marriage when it is her second job?

Our grandmothers were trained to be wives as we are trained to bo teachers or typists. They looked on marriage as their business in life, and they generally began it when they were quite young and as full of girlish enthusiasm as we are over our first school post or our first job in an office.

We have a great deal. Can we give it up?.

The married woman cannot.go off for week-enda whenever she pleases. If a friend 'rings her up, she cannot run out at a moment's notice and leave the dinner to cook itself. She must always stop and consider domestic arrangements in a way that was never necessary when a household did not depend

The girls of the last century. were not in the habit of doing these things. The girls of to-day are. And when they have done them for five or ten years, it is not easy to turn into a stay-at-homa wife and mother all at once.

For some of us it seems so diffi- cult that we do not dare to try. And then people scold educated women for refusing to marry.

But marriage is a permanment job. Is it not safer to leave it to those girls who do not want careers of another kind? There are plenty of them.
