It is the kind of re sponsibility that paves the way to nervous prostration, and tbe worst of li is shopping prows a more complicat ed and exhausting duty every day. "A half century ago If a fashionable memlier of society devoted two hours out of every 12 to her dress she was uablod to keep right up to the stand ard of tbe mode. - Today four hours will hardly suffice for the mere pur chasing and try'&g on, and for every one dress requisite 20 years ago five ore uow essential for tbe keeping up of appearances, and while tbe demands ia dress have grown greater tbe facilities for securing the elalmrate costuming necessary are not Improved.

Back hair nets are in again, tbongb not much on this side of the water yet, the fancy being so receut It has not had time to thrive even among those who lead In tbe adoption of new ideas. Well dressed Frenchwomen are re rpousible for the cachet. In weariness of the straggling locks which have marked the epoch of tbe pompadour the Tarts woman thinks nothing more Important now than an entirely tidy coiffure. Finding It Impossible to produce the desired effect, retaining her Marcel waves, without further aid flan the little pin at tbe nape of the wet af forded, something elite had to be de vised. The Invisible hair net was thought of. A new friend frorr. an old one! And the special novelty in the method of using is through Its adjust ment with a -Jeweled stud in place of tbe familiar invisible hairpin, nbose principal characteristic was not so much that of doing its work unseen as of pettiug lost Of course tbe hair net must be tbe color of hair over which It is worn, and one most be careful not to tear It with ber sidecombe and ornamental pins.

There seems to le small disposition to Imitate the headdress of Mrs. I-ang-try. who once so controlled the fash Ion la hairdressing that the I-anjrtry knot low in the Deck was tbe unive-sal coiffure for those who thought to dress at all In the mode. The pompadour does not coincide with tbe Langtry knot, and women's hats, gowns, all are made with the chief Idea that of slenderness and heifc:.t- The high hair dressing contributes not a little to this impression. The pompadour front now is parted usually at one side and the hair ar ranged loosely to fall over one temple more than the other. "Bangs" have not come back precisely, but you would not have a woman's short hair hanging straight around her face, would you? Indeed, yon would prefer It the least bit curled on an occasional iron.

There are dark, luminous blues, browns, greens and violets for every day service and paler pastel tints for evening wear. It takes iwo squares for a plaiu waist and three for the fancier ones. Tbe haudkerchiefs cost from $1 to $4 each, but even tbe lat ter are not rxens!ve when one con siders that a waist made of these squares does not necessitate tbe pur chase of any other trimming. Tbe rich parts in oriental coloriugs and tbe solid white or dark centers or borders give sufficient opiKirtunlty for contrast. and frequently the edges of the hand kerchiefs are raveled, giving very much the effect of fringe. The handkerchief squares are made np in various ways. For tbe plain waist two handkerchiefs are used. Vhree are necessary for the fancy waist.

At such times the wife remains In entire eclipse save for tbe letters, many and long, that strive to bridge tbe separa tion, and it is in these letters and tbe companionship of her children that she finds her chief cousolation.
