apt to prove as improbable as an un-

fruit is getting less and less profitable

The Growing Popularity of Braided Cow
Novelties in FurS.

Novelties in Furs.
Braided gowns continue to be
greatly in demand, and two pretty ex-
amples of this kind are well worth de-
scribing. The one is in myrtle-green
cloth. braided deliberately in a mix
ture of myrtle green and gold. The
pointed bodice has a shaped vest of
braiding, while similar designs are
brought down to point below the
waist, starting from under the arms at
either side. The skirt is arranged
with long draperies frightened with
braiding and opening on the right side
over graduated panel formed entirely
of five knife plaitings of myrtle-green
cloth. With this gown n double
shoulder cape of cloth is worn, made
with high collar covered with green
and gold braiding. and so arranged
that it can be worn either standing up
or turned down. The other gown is
dahlia, with a full skirt, plated ON
one side and trimmed there only with
two long lines of terra-cotta braid
ing, reaching from waist to hem
and forming a kind of panel
The bodice is cut very short in
the waist, and opens in front over
crosswise folds of terra-cotta silk, sur
mounted by a Directoire jabot of fine
ly-plaited cream hsse. The bodice is
further finished with wide collar
turned back so as to show the braid
ing with which it is ornamented.
1t is somewhat early to touch upon
fur-trimmed garments. and yet they
are already displayed in the shops.
One example is a trim little jacket
made in what is technically known as
black-ribbed coating. and arranged in a
very becoming manner In front. with
two waistcoats. The lower one. of
cloth, is cross-wrapped and handsome
ly braided, while the upper one. which
is like plastron, is covered entirely
with black Astrakhan fur. The deep
collar is lined with the same fur, and
can be worn either turned down or
standing up q la Medicis. The deep
cuffs are also of Astrakhan, as well as
the edging of the open jacket front
and the two covered buttons at the
back on the waist line. This jacket is
novel and stylish, and, as our English
cousins say. has a very ''smart" effect

"REMINISCENCES.

When brother Jack and / were boys
Full twenty years ago.
We never feared to trudge to school
Thro' storms Of sleet and snow:
But summer weather made US sick
When forests beckoned cool
Not sick enough to feel bad,
But too sick to go to school
On rainy days, thro' seas OF mud
UBdauntedly we sailed.
But when the pleasant weather came,
Our constitutions failed:
Or if circus CHANGED to come
1t found us as a rule,
Not sick enough to feel bad,
But too sick to go to school
o, often in the morning,
We woke in woeful plight;
But after father went to work,
Our illness all took flight.
We hunted up our fishing rods
And sought some shady pool
Not sick enough to feel bad.
But too sick to go to school.
One day our father happened home
AS we come staggeri * in.
And drew US gently DER the edge
Or the potato bin.
That afternoon we sadly sat
Beneath the teachers rule:
Quite sick enough to feel bad,
And too sick to go to school.

If you must smoke and drink wait until your

If we know all the methods of approach adopted
by an enemy the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances
the inherent strength of the body suffices to
enable it to oppose the tendency toward death
Many, however, have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help In other
cases little aid to the weakened lungs will make
all the difference between sudden death and
many years of useful life. Upon the first symp-
toms of Cough, Cold, or any trouble of the

able to endorse all the good things that have ever
been said about them, and supplement these by
saying that I frankly believe their value cannot

limited, and for prompt and sure relief to almost
every ache and pain that flesh is heir to, no other
