PARABLE OF THE TREES.
BY OMEGA.

Once upon a time one of the trees in
forest began to grow to "A great size;
its roots extended under the ground,
and its branches above grew in all direc-
tions, thus depriving other trees of sus-
tenance, of sunlight and air. The other
trees, each of its own kind, formed
unions to curb the growth of the great
tree, so one union trimmed a little off
one branch of the great tree on this side,
another union trimmed another branch
on that side, and so on all around each
union trimmed the branch which over
shadowed it, but the great tree. Capi-
tdt1cus, continued its vigorous growth to
the great detriment of all the other trees:
and while the union trees were trying to
find out the cause of this wondrous
growth and of their own famishng
condition, there Was heard a ripple of
gentle laughter which seemed to float
through the air "Who laughs 7" cried
out the union trees. Il do, said a lit
tie tree of the genus sOciuS socidliS, of
sturdy growth and vigorous aspect, Il
laugh to see you promoting the growth
of the tree Cdpitalicus, by trimming its
branches, thereby making it more sym
metrical in shape and greater in strength
and enabling it to spread its roots
through underneath the ground where
you yourselves stand, and robbing you
all unseen of a sustenance which is
yours"
A warm discussion ensued, in the
midst of which tree of the genus Nti-
Gus Ldborius made itself heard. This
tree, with all the adolascent and luxuri-
ant air of youthfulness, oracularly pro-
claimed itself the champion of all the
union trees, and that if they would fol-
low its advice they would soon rid
themselves of the tree Cdpitdhcus
With one voice they all consented,
with the exception of Socius .SocioliS,
who was heard to gently laugh and
softly utter the words, mo good"
But Nticus Ldbor1c,tS was all the fash
ion, and with great ostentation it placed
the union trees, some on one side of the
tree CdpitdhcuS, and some on another
side, SO that it was completely sur
rounded. "Now," said the oracle,
'when | give the word you all blow as
hard as you can, and we shall soon bring
Cdpitdt,cus to terms The sturdy little
tree, SocinS !SOcialis, was seen to smile,
and the words, wind, all wind. hoated
on the air. All being ready, MticuS La
bOricus gave the word, now blow and
all the union trees began to blow, some
on one side and some on the other side,
and the old tree CopitdlicuS was famed
as with gentle breeze from all sides
His every leaf danced with merriment.
he shook himself with gIee, and his
branches roared with laughter, and Nti-
Gus LdbOricus went as he came in the
twinkling of an eye.
Meantime the sturdy tree, SOcius So
ctdtts, is grown strong and vigorous, and
the union trees turn to it and ask what
shall we do to save ourselves, and SOciuS
Soctdtis answers: Bring hither the
spade, the pick, the ak and the crowhar,
dig dig around the tree CdpatdliclS cut
its roots and pry them out of the
ground ; let the tree fall ana be removed,
root, trunk and branch from among us,
and then, and only then, shall each one
of us have room to grow as nature
means we ought to grow.

WAITING THE DANCE.

About the edge of the train is a fringed-
ont ruching of plain electric blue faille,
very thick and set on the edge. The
petticoat is of musk-pink tulle threaded
in gold and mounted over delicate
gold brocade. The edge of the bodice
and four-inch sleeves are bound with
tulle caught down i'll. little puffs by
straps of gold thread.

Just completed of black tulle has three
skirts of the tulle. each an inch shorter
than the one beneath, and giving a
pretty effect. These are over a slip of
blach surah, and are garlanded with a
long spray of guelder roses. The bod
ice is OF heavy black SATIN, laced back
and front, with little pulled sleeves of
the tulle caught up on the shoulder
with buckles of rhinestone.
A gown in crimson, intended for a
young lady, has an accordion plated
skirt of tulle, loW-cut waist of red vel
vet, With long side panels reaching be-
low the knee, vest Of crimson tissue
held by two big silver buckles aud a
sash passing under it and knottcd at
the back in full bow.
Some dancing dresses are made with
short full trains. but do not find favor
among the young people who like to
dance for pleasure.
Artificial flowers are being used aX-
tenslvely for garlanding ball dresses.
Deep purple pansies on rose-pink, but
groups ON black tulle, lilies-of-t he-val-
lev. violets and moss buds on white,
forget-me-nots and daises on blue, and
anemOne and arbutus on pale-green are
a few of the combinations.
Long Suede gloves in undressed kid
are still in favor: slippers with big
buckles are the newest kind, ..and feather
fans held by long ribbons are preferred
to those of lace or satin.

Advice to Husbands.

Always come home gOOd-tempered
leaving business cares behind, and dc
not vent annOyanceS met with at the
office on your wife and family.
Make yourself agreeable to your wife
and friends, and do not sit glum all the
evening, looking utterly bored.
Be leni-nt to your wife's faults, and
do not expect perfection until you have
first become perfect yourself.
Be punctual at meals. Remember
that a cook cannot keep dinner waiting
without it's being spoiled. Do not eX-
pect each servant to have two pairs of
hands.
DO not expect your wife to keep ac-
counts unless you take the trouble to
keep your own correctly.
Dress as we'll and as neatly as your
means will allow, and be careful not to
get your best trousers wet, as baggy
knees are a thing no woman can re-
spect.
Be as kind and attentive to your wife
as you were before your marriage, and
remember she has got no pipe to go to
for comfort.
When your liver is out of order, re-
member food cannot be paatable;
Therefore do not grumble and turn over
on your plate what your wife has pro-
vided for you. as if it were not fit tor a
dog to eat.
If you have wife that does keep her
house in order. is not constantly at war
with her servants, is not cXtravagant,
has meals regularly and well served,
and does her best to please, let her see
you appreciate her; otherwise she will
cease to try and make your home com
Portable, and in due course your troubles
will be infinitely worse than any you
may have at the Office.
