Chry anth.mums ne Queen.

The rose is no longer queen Of flowers
for twelve months in the year. During
October and November she must abdi-
cate in favor Of the chrysanthemum. that
graceful Japanese beauty, who has won
the love Of horticulturists and society
with equal speed. The decorative value
of the chrysanthemum is so great, IL
may be grown at the minimum OF ex-
pense and 1t lasts so long even after cut
ting, that its popularity is not TO be won
dered at. In addition to these advan-
tages no flower lends itself more readily
to '1mprovement'-the mysterious opera

the impudence, in spite OF the poets. to
make violets as much sweeter as he can.

half so trying TO the wearer's face, which
as a rule, is either extremely red or abso
lutely without color.

Many Of our best dressers find hints
which they utilize later in their own cos
tunes in the theaters, and they often find
models beyond question beautiful and
strongly marked by good taste. A few OF
the actresses like a striking effect, but the
majority dress exquisitely, and all the
more so when they design their own gowns
and have them made in this country.

study at Least.
In these days, when reverscs in fortune
are happenings of so frequent occurrence,
the daughters of even very well-to-do pa
rents should be taught the necessity Of at
least knowing one thing thoroughly and
well. The girl who graduates from the
fashionable school and regards her edu-
cation finished knows what? A smatter-
ing of music, a little French, not enough,
however, TO sustain a very lengthy con-
versation with a real Frenchman; she
may be able to paint a bunch of pansies,
or a cross-eyed kitten; she may know
how TO Warhle forth two or three songs
that she has been coached in for years,
or she could, perhaps, solve problem in
geometry or algebra. If they were not too
difficult.
OF course, all this is quite sufficient, If
she never is called upon to be more than
q social butterfly; but suppose the time
comes when she must do something to
help support the family. Which branch
Of all the studies she has finished does
she know completely enough to now turn
TO good service? The bitter answer would
be not one, and she would be obliged to
accept some position that paid but a
pittance simply because when she had
the opportunity she had not learned one
thing thoroughly.
Girls. let IL be your aim TO master at
least one subject. If you have taste for
music, study it, so that your proficiency
can be turned TO profit; If 1t be cooking,
painting, sewing, any language, or sci
ence do not dip into it to-day and out Of
1t tomorrow. Perfect yourself in some
thing, and then when necessity calls upon
you to turn your talent TO account, you
will have something on which you can
rely, instead of being in possession OF a
useless smattering of knowledge that is
but enough TO prove TO you how little you
really do know, and how utterly valueless
such knowledge is when you wish 10 turn

The flowers in this great annual show
come mostly from the country homes of
The wealthy leaders in society, and it is but
natural that they should come with all
their families to meet friends and compare
notes on orchids and chrysanthemums.
And the dear public is divided into two

color is like heaven itself, and those who
flock anywhere simply TO see what is going
on and to be able to say they have seen it

One lady wore long wrap Of black wool
brOcade in large feather pattern, cut en-

bengaline, with heavy chenille and Jet
passementerie at the foot and extending
up the sides and on the chest. The sleeves
we're bell shaped, caught up at the elbow
with a band Of black fox fur and rich
bead ornament, and they were bordered
%ith fur, as also were the neck, corsage
and bottom. A black velvet beef eater hat
had bow Of white velvet and plumes.
Her sister-in-law wore a long wrap Of
black biarritz and velvet brocade, Dor
eered with mink. 1t was slashed at the
sides, but not in the back. The little caps

There are some gowns that require GER
tain amount OF lace and some women for
whom no other trimming seems to be
suited. Besides, lace Is always light ana
graceful as well "a becoming, and real lace
is such a precious possession that it Is an
ornament to any material or robe. One
lady of my acquaintance has some lace
that has been in her family for nearly
hundred years. 1t is now old, and, to speak
the truth, n good deal ragged, but she
prizes it like her eyesight, and on every
one of her costumes that lace holds itself
triumphant. That which is black beauti-
fies dark or black gown; the white forms
jabots, pelerines, berthes, or it is massed
at times upon picturesque hat and held
by handsome golden dagger. No con-
sideration would cause her TO have it cut,
and the older it grows the more precious
is il in her eyes.
The wearing of the priceless old lace and
the ubiquitous presence OF the golden
dagger give this sweet little woman a dis
tinct individuality in ones mind, and one
always sees a clear mental picture Of her
framed in misty lace, and with her golden
dagger either holding its flmy masses on
her heart, or gathering its elegance upon
her hat, or holding her dainty handker-
chief and few delicate flowers at her
waist. 1t is well for woman who can
thus make a pleasing picture of herself
that remains in the hearts of her friends
long after she has passed away.
