The Practice of borrowing Books.

The practice of borrowing books is es-
sentially an evil one in those who can
afford to own books, and public libraries
serve to encourage and foster the evil,
though they are Of very great value to the
poor student. We think that upon general
principles people should own the books
they read. We believe heartily in buying
books, reading books and keeping books,
but not in borrowing books. AS refer.
ence public library serves an admirable
purpose, and in many instances 1t ia of I'M
doubted advantage to the people. But one
who would be surely profited by books
should own them if he can and should
have them for companions continually
about him.-Chicago News.

The Marie Belt.

The Marie belt, so called because Pri n .
cess Marie of Edinburgh first wore one,
Is composed of satin or velvet ribbon
about an inch wide, laid in successive
rows, which are fastened at the back and
front on n whalebone covered with a
piece OF velet or satin. The ribbon is
mitred on this whalebone and it is drawn
down at the side, making the belt the
shape of a pointed bodice. 1t is better TO
have such belt fastened on the side IL
is not desirable it should curve down
sharply at the side, as it is not likely to
set so well if it does. 4 great many of
these ribbon belts are made straight
around and composed of as many as
seven rowT 0 f ribbon, though FIVE rows
are more common. They are pretty worn
with a morning dress or with an Empire
tea gown trim med with ribbon.
