How our Lords make strifol

and snow days Onc could ask. There
were 10 rlieumutics from digging
In flower borders or pacing damp
October walks with those boots j
promise you. Tie trouble was they
were too good, for that one pair isn't
worn out TO this day, and 80 they
were taken out OF sale for the bene-
tit of poorer stock. But one can
have sole cut of thin pure rubber
aud cemented to thin boot for 90
or 70 cents u air and save endless
eternal troubles from cold feet. Do
you know how much easier living Is
with feet duly shod with elastic
soles? The case of getting about on
them took n third ones weight off?
Who can estimate the relief TO back,
sincws and leg muscles?
IMPORTANCE OF SOUND sIoEINa.
All drivers know that city streets
and pavcments wear out the feet
and strength of horses far sooner
than the country roads. Are pave
ments and floors any kinder to wo-
men? / don't believe any one who
reads ever thought about 1t, but the
constant stepping about non-elastic
floors and sidewalks must wear
greatly on the limited strength of
women. Earth gives, the mountain
sod IL elastic, the woodland, the
grassy turf yield and save the foot
which treads them.
Tiles, marble, stone, cement, oil
cloth, do not give way, and all the
impact of the tread returns upon
the muscles and nerves In cruel
way. This constant jarring, un-
noticed at first, works strange mis-
chief In woman's organisms, and
the cause Is seldom suspected. Wood
floors and sole leather heels are elias
tic beside stone pavements and
metal heels, but not sufficiently so.
One feels the difference very soon In
climbing iron or stone stairways,
which take the life out of the step
strangely, and pray will never be-
come common for the sake OF hui
manity which wastes itself upon
them.
COLD WEATHER GARMENTS.
From feet TO head is but step In
shopping, and the last continental
style received since this letter was
written show opened figures In one
Illustration which have the chenille
embroidered felts untrimmed, and
two really graceful trimmed ones
besides the sailor, to which wearers
cling In felt.
The long cloak, figured In rich
lampas with velvet stripes and
ostrich bordering for theater, is an
excellent model for cold weather, in
thick cameps hair or the silky
winter cheviot in chevron weaving,
that Is, with reversed stripes. The
border Is not Indispensable, still for
the cape II may be q narrow
edge OF astrakhan or fur,
which foot border of deep
astrakhan or fluffy beaver. The
little ostrich collar Is very pretty,
and bright girls will quickly see use
for their spare bits of ostrich feath-
ers sewn on IA satin foundation. The
huge trimmed felt bonnet shows the
long velvet strings to be worn. OBJ
serve, too, the neat dressing of the
throat in these bonneted heads-the
straight or nearly straight velvet
collars, surmounted by u finish of
white; either fold of silk on the
marrow linen collar with points, or
In clerical round shape, and the
brooch worn effectively on the vel
vet. The close bodice Of the bon
neted figure shows the best style of
shoulder for the winter sleeves, the
Princess style, us that lady of sover-
eign good taste, the Princess of

s'Oniy . Year"
Harriet Beeoher Stowe
One year ago-a ringing voice,
A clear. blue eye,
And clustering curls of sunny hair,
Too fair to die.
Only .yoar--no voice, no smile,
No glance of eye,
No clustering curls of golden hair,
Fur, but to die
One year ago--what loves, what
schemes,
Far into i,fel
What Joyous hopes, what high resolves,
what generous strifel
The silent picture on the wall,
The burial stone,
tall that beauty, life and Joy
Remain alone
One year--one year--one little year
And so much gonel
Ana yet the even flow of life
Moves calmly on.
The grave grows green, the flowers bloom
Above that head;
NO sorrowing tint Of leaf or spray
No pause or hush Of merry birds
That sing above
Tells us how coldly sleeps below
lhe form we love.
Where hast thou been this year, be-
loved2
What hast thou seen?
What visions fair. what glorious life,
Where thou hast been?
The veil the veil! so thin, so strongl
tHixt us and thee;
The mystic veil, when shall 1t fall.
That we may see?
Not dead, not sleeping, not even gone;
But present still,
And waiting for the coming hour
OF Gods sweet will.
Lord o. the living and the dead,
Our Savior dear
We lay In silence at thy feet
This sad, sad year.

Or shall the steadfnst year deceive,

Wherewith she glows.

All beauty that is in her scope,
As long as thou thysolf shalt be,

growing face, not because Of Its
beauty-for 1t was the face of a
woman at least 40 years old-but
because of the tender look of chast-
ened suffering in the large, wide
open eyes.
"Roma," said, "that Is very

'She has the loveliness of com

He dropped his head and went
on with his work in nervous haste.
Presently l heard a rustic of silk,
n sweet, low voice and Il little, rip
pling, musical laugh. Immediately
Roma was at the door, and bowling
low, as he held 1t open for the two
ladies who entered.
The elder was clothed I'm black
silk, unrelievcd by anything, ex-
ceptlng little foam of rich, white
lace and the dull glitter of some let
ornaments. The younger had on Il
dress in which pale violet and cream
colors were exquisitely blended.
The face of the elder was the face of
one who had suffered and conquered;
the face of the younger was the
face of a sinless, sorrowless child,
who, unsuspec,ingly, had grown
into womanhood. The mothers
hair was nearly white; the daugh-
ter's pale, golden frame to little
oval picture of exquisite beauty.

Fashions in Fans.

Fashions in Fans
Paris letter In Philadelphia Telegraph. !
The novelties in fans for the pres
ent season run chiefly to flowers.
There are screen-shaped fans, each
composed of an immense flower set
on silk background framed with n
gilt rim and having u handle in gilt
wood. Some ofthese, and especially
the gigantic purple pansies In shad-
ell velvet, have been seen for some
time past; but the immense yellow
or crimson poppies, and the great
pink-edged white chrysanthemums,
mounted in that way are as novel
as they are artistic. a large bow of
ribbon, matching the flower in
color, is attached to the handle of
each of these fans. An entire nov
city Is fans in painted gauze with
slender sticks In wood or in carved
ivory, with rows of pamphlets in
gold, or in silver, or In colord me-
tallic beads, matching the lIue of the
gauze and the color of the design,
set down each of the branches as
far as the edge of the leaf.
The effect OF these brilliant pend
ant little ornaments, quivering and
sparkling with every movement, is
extremely striking. Silver PAM
piles are set on fans of gray or pale
blue, or pale pink gauze, gold ones
adOrn black fans, and one very
effective fan was In scarlet gauze
painted with u garland Of poppies
without foliage, and hung with
ruby pamphlets. Another new
style has very light carved sticks,
and has the leaf composed of mar
row satin ribbons, set with little
bows, and alternating with rows of
narrow black or white lace Some.
times the ribbons are painted with
tiny flowers in water colors. Then
fans are shown loaded with arti-
fetal flowers, so that when closed
each one has the effect of u
bouquet. One of the prettiest was
white gauze, painted with daisies,
and having n cluster, or rather II
very full spray, OF the same flowers
attached to one of the outer sticks.
Another one was In pale green
gauzc, painted with poppies of the
same hue, and having the outer
sticks entirely covered with u
massed row of the same blossoms In
pale green silk.
For the admirers of fans III os-
trich feathers there is sad news in
store. For some reason or other the
price of the plumes that IRE used in
composing these fans has risen to
almost double what 1t was six
months ago. So one sees fewer of
these costly adjuncts to a lady's even
Ing dress than has hitherto been
the case.

Jean Ingelow, whose exquisite

white hair and indomitable indus
try. She sends prose composition
to several English magazines and
for some time has been engaged on
n volume of f.poems entitled "Quite
Another Story" which the Lowell

the poets time is devoted to charit-

Miss Sherman Is one of the few

Carmen Sylvia, well known both

age of AZ, still u beautiful woman.
, 1890-10-16

She is tall, with an extremely good
figure, and hut for the silvery lines
which have dimmed the brightness
Of her golden hair, still retains most
of the beauties of her youth. Her
eyes are quite bewitching, being
large and blue, with n delicious
dreamy look; she has n really clas-
steal mouth, exquisitely white, reg
ular teeth, u frely cut nose, and
small, well-shaped hands aud feet.
She was very quietly dressed In n
gray tweed walking gown. When
at home, ] hear, her majesty greatly
affects the picturesque costume Of
the Roumanian peasant. She is
quite an indefatigable worker, and
rises every morning before II Is day.
She Is firm In her refusal to allow
her maid to attend her, but lights
her own lamp, and sits down at hor
table to spend an hour or two over
her MSS.
In the interests Of the working
women New York is far ahead of
England. She not only has women
on the local boards of education and
In the police courts but employs
exactly the same salaries paid the

Queen Victoria has declared her
intention of devoting the entire
women's jubilee offering to the
English Association of Trained
Nurses, the chief object of which Is
the improvement OF the nursing of
the poor sick. Never In the wor rs
history has this vocation attracted
so much attention. The Princess
Christian has shown her interest by
founding q home and holiday fund
for overworked nurses, and the
Princess of Wales, on becoming
president of the National Pension
Fund, received 1000 nurses at the
Marlborough house, presenting to
each nurse her certificate Of mem
bership and receiving from them
collectively the purses which they
had filled toward establishing n
benevolent fund for their ranks in
cases of sickness or financial straits.
