We are told of a rather original idea on
the part of a society girl who frankly en-
joys her little fads. She has had made for
her twelve pairs Of bonnet pins. and wears
each set one month Of the year. The stones
are chosen to symbolic as nearly as posi-
BILE the characteristics Of the months For
January. pearls represent snow; rainy Feb
runry has cqus-marine; March has purple
crocus-colored smethysts; April, daffo-
dil-colored topaz; the young green
of May is represented by smer-
aids, and June roses by pink pearls: sun
shiny July has diamonds and deep blue
sspphires represent the summer seas and
cloudless skies Of August; September's early
changes are represented by cats-eyes; gar
nets typify October; the gray skies, cold
looking red sunsets and WOOD fires OF No
vember are shown by opals, while the glow
ing red fires Of December, with their Christ
mas cheer, have the ruby as the emblem Of
the month. 1t is a pretty conceit, and like
many another little oddity gives expression
70 what might otherwise be commonplace.
Here is q pretty notion for Christmas
gift, says Clara Belle in the Times DEM
low in the world is going to give it to girl
he adore. but who hasn't really appreciated
him all this time. If she doesn't appreciate
him now she doesn't deserve him, that's all |!
The gift is the dearest pair of slippers any
one ever saw. They are white velvet. The
size is so tiny that such material Is quite
safe. The toe is embroidered in real seed
pearls, and the center OF the design is an or
ange blossom, picked out in pearls and
diamonds. A dear little strap that looks
more like a bracelet than something to go
around the ankle, passes from the back of
the heel, and has a big diamond buckle to
fasten by in front The whole band is stiff
with pearls. Indeed, it might we'll te
shipped from the slipper to be worn on the
wrist, or the two put together to make
necklace. The high heels are likewise
crusted with pearls, and around the lower
edge Is a band of diamonds, 80 that the one
who wears the slippers will indeed make
white satin Only card is to he tucked
into one. Do you think | have told you
all, or the best! Not a bit! The
slippers are to be sent in L beauteous case
made for them. and that is, as it should be,
jewel case That is not all, either. On
the sole of each slipper, set deep into the
thin leather, is tiny heart of rubies-his
heart, girls. If that girl does not soften
well, she will, OF course II she doesn't SCI
about getting Il wedding gown to go with
those orange-blossom slippers instanter she
ought 10 be whipped. Think of a man doing
a thing like that! Think of girl having q
thi & like that done for her Some people
do have such luck. And she has treated
him awfully, too.

A case recently came to the writer's
knowledge of two sisters Is and II years
Old. The younger was a splendid specimen
OF young womanhood, robust. active, and
merry, while the elder, though not Ill in
any definite way, was thin, tired quickly,
and fretted over trifies like nervous old
woman. These conditions finally came to
be accepted, and probably would have con-
tinued indefinitely if an English relative,
physician, had not made the family a
visit His sharp eyes noted the morning
lassitude OF the elder girl and the correspond
ing freshness of her sister at breakfast and
he drew his conclusions. An inquiry of the
mother secured the knowledge that they
not only slept in the same bed, but, said
she, "Elise's (the elder devotion to her sister
Is such that for years she has only gone to
sleep when she could hold Mabel close in her
Il arms"
The doctor fairly snorted at this senti-
ment, and in the end persuaded the sisters
to sleep apart. Two pretty brass bedsteads
4 side by side offered propinquity and oom-
n pany, but prevented contact, with the re-
suit that in six months time Elise showed a
marked Improvement in her general health
and has become in eighteen months happy,

at least, the Improvement dates from the
moment Of separate beds.

Mrs. Beere laughingly asserts that she shot
the animal herself, but adds that it was a
present from the man who did shoot it.
