heads upon it."
Just as you have decided that you will
take the hat, and are quieting whatever
qualms OF conscience you may have for the
expenditure of SO large sum upon so tr1d-
ing thing as hat, the Dlilliner walks out
again and astonishes you with:
'tAnd this collar is designed to go with
the hat. You see it is q delightful shade Of
mink, just the thing to accompany that hat
and so becoming to your complexion, too.
1t is exactly your style. Let me tie 1t round
your neck"
BY the time she has finished speaking,
you are decorated with a mink collar, and
when you look at yourself, in the fatally
seductive milliner's mirror, you decide that
you must have collar, too. After one
glimpse at yourself, with the soft beautiful
brown round your neck, and the lovely
brown is on the hat, you decide that you
can never know a moments happiness until
you are the owner of the settle hat and
collar.
With the new style, or rather the new
shapes of hats, there comes a new shape Of
cloaks. In front this new style of cloak is
cut and hung almost exactly like the Mother
Hubbards. which for a time ragged in our
midst. The cloak may be OF velvet or of
fur, yet it is shirred to yoke in front and
hangs down in long, loose folds. The
sleeves are pulled to the elbow and are
there met by deep cuffs of the same mater
ial. The yoke cuffs and pockets are trim
med with gorgeous embroidery of whatever
kind one chooses.
OF course, you have pockets in your win
ter jacket and in your winter cloak The
pockets are placed rather low upon the side,
so as not to give prominence TO the hips
and are trimmed round the edge with hand
some passementerie embroidery or orna-
ments of some kind. OF course, nothing
is to be carried in them, and very often
they are merely semblances OF pockets, be-
ing placed there just for show
In ''Niobe, THAT beautiful little play now

robe, few young women gifted with beau

and heavily embroidered with Oriental de-
signs. The front of the waist is crossed IL
surplice fashion, and around the wais
there is fastened a girdle OF colored silk
which has in turn an apron-like attach.

in eastern design. The apron serves a.

The winter hats are specially becoming
TO all faces. They are large, if they are in
tended for street wear, and have the large,
soft, rolling rims which are capable of being
turned and bent until they form a pretty
setting for every face. Very odd in shape,
too, they are, and until one becomes accus-
toned to them, one cannot help 8 little
gasp of surprise as one comes unexpectedly
upon one as these eccentrioities of fashion.
There are hats shaped exactly like sugar
scoop, such as the grocers use, and with
even bow of ribbon at the back where the
handle OF the scoop would naturally be-

neck is worn white feather boa or a white
feather collarette TO match the white feath-

A letter from Kansas, he says, has sur

sorrow that it awakened the sympathy of
her owners fourteen-year- son, and he
showed her some slight kindness. The
grateful COW at once became fond of him,
watched for him as she would for her calf
and since then she has shown her pleasure
whenever he comes near her. Indeed no
one else but this boy Gun manage the poor
animal, and wonderful stories are told of
her devotion to him.
The Kansas papers say that lately the boy
had occasion to go to a neighboring town,
and, as he remained until after milking
time, his sister, not daring to approach the
cow in any other way, decided to put on s
suit of his clothes and went into the barn
yard. The girl succeeded in deceiving the
cow until the boy was seen coming up the
road, when instantly the indignant animal
kicked the pail over and made bound in
the direction of the youth, showing unmis
taxable evidences Of delight

RnIes for Dolls,

A wooden headed doll should be careful
not to hit her head against her mammals
lest she should hurt her. s
A doll should keep away from the rock
ing chairs, as the rockers may go over her
and crush her.
A wax doll should avoidvthe fire if she
wishes to preserve good complexion.
Often an old doll with cracked head and
a sweet smile is more beloved than q new
doll with sour face.
1t is bad plan for dolls to be stretched
out on the floor too often, as people are apt
to tread on them; and doll that is trodden
on ID sure to go into decline.
Mariory was reading these rules to her
doll with very sober face. Then she
laughed. Dolly" said she, sits funny,
but really believe these rules are more for
me than they are fer you."-Old Homestead.

MISTAKES OF WOMEN.
Little Errors Into Which Maid and Madame
Are Prone to Fall.

Are Prone to Fall.
1t is a mistake for young lady to talk to
q man as If she were blase and widely ex-
perienced in all the human emotions, frail-
ties and faults.
1t is mistake for woman (wife. mother,
sister or sweetheart) to make plans for the
disposal of all mans spare hours, and
then expect him to enjoy himself.
1t is mistake for a woman to try to
prove to men her great knowledge and su-
perior intellect. They enjoy an intellect
ual woman when they discover her bright
ness themselves, but they do not like to
have her force her brains and Learning upon
them f.
But it Is just as great a mistake to assume
an air of insipidity, and expect a man to
think it charming.
1t is the mistake of lifetime to give q
meu any liberty which you would not want
known, and to expect him to keep the mat
ter secret
1t is the worst mistake Of all for woman
TO think she can make no mistake.-EUd
D'hesler Wilcor, in Ladies' Home Journal.
"Girls," says Marie writing in Music and
| Drama:
Don't believe implicitly everything he
tells you when he is wooing you.
Don't let him win your love too easily
men do not like that; they would rather
hare little trouble to gain you.
Don't worry the life out of him by ask
ing him, "Why do you love me?" He does
not always have an answer for you.
a'Don't bother him too much about your
hats and gowns; a man likes to think you
dress to please him, but he has other things
to talk about.
Don't ignore the fact when he wears s
new neck tie; If man has tender spot OF
vanity it is generally his tie.''

out going to a great deal of trouble, one has
only TO buy big fur muff to match ones
cloak and then rest content with the pur-
chase. But there are many women who
strive for dantiness in dress and for pretty
effects rather than for heavy elegance, with
strict following Of regular fashionable rules
and regulations.
1t is these women who have knack of
making a great deal out of very little, and
who contrive 10 keep up an excellent show
ing without the expenditure of more money
than they care to lay out. For example,
let US take the muff-since we began to
speak of that-and see what can be done in
the way of producing something pretty
without spending a great deal of money, al
the same time obtaining a really stylish
effect.
Suppose with each dress that you have
this winter-and perhaps you are fortunate
enough to have three or four or even more
winter gowns for the street-suppose that
with each dress you have muff to match
the dress. 1t win have TO be a homemade
muf, or the cost will be much greater than
you care TO pay for any thing which is not
going 10 last more than one season.
Take portion of the dress material and
then buy couple of strips of fur about an
inch wide and half yard long. Fold the
cloth into fat muff shape ana then border
it round the outside edge with the two
strips of fur. Lay the cloth closely in side
plaits, one overlapping the other, and across
the middle of the front tie broad piece OF
ribbon to match the material of the muf
Let the ribbon be tied through the muff aud
fasten it in a bow on the outside, leaving
two long loops and ends. On the inside
make a pocket, or what is better still, buy
an ordinary purse and sew it closely with
heavy thread to that side of the muff which
lies next your dress.
AS guide In your work you might use G
very large thick boo!-, laying the cloth in
plaits over it, and keeping the material or
the book until the muff is completed. Draw
the book carefully from its place and il
will be found that the muff is of exactly the
shape that you desire. Repeat the same
process with your other gowns, varying
the different muffs by difference in trim.
