There i. hardly anything

Poor paint won't stand inspection,
you know, and your friends can tell
difference between common paints
and the best the moment they see ii.
There is neither harm nor disgrace in
being economical, of course, but it is
false economy to buy common paint.
In the first place it never has satis-
factory appearance, and secondly, it
is not durable. Again, poor paint

No fiction in the world is more fas-
cinating or more powerful than that
of Russia. This fact is made appar-
ent in the current issue of Romance,
the seventh in its notable series of
special numbers, and specifically de-
voted to Russian short stories.
Nearly half of its contents relate to
this remarkable country. and are from
the pens OF such writer's as Tour
guenetf, Tolstoi, Pouchkine and
"Stepniah. There are also beautiful
stories of England and America by
some of our best authors, among
whom are Frances Hodgson Burnett,
Tom P. Morgan, Caroline A. Cree
vey and Clyde Fitch. Uncommon
interest attaches to recently discov-
cred tale by John 6. Whittier, and
also to the striking newspaper story,
1.-The Great journal Beat" by
Rhodes MacKnight. The readers of
this charming magazine will not be
surprised to learn the fact, which has
come out since his death, that Phillips
Brooks was regular reader and warm
admirer of Romance. The magazine
is issued by Romance Publishing

The vexed controversy concerning
crinoline, which has been raging in
the papers of late, is due to the
dearth of Fashion news rather than
to actual facts. Whilst newspaper
fashion writer's have busted them
selves discussing the appalling con-
sequences of the revival of the hoop
skirt in Paris and whilst the influence
of the Princess of Wales has been
appealed to to stand as barrier
against this coming threatening event,
the leading dressmaking house of the
French capital have not yet made
single crinoline for any of their GUS
toners. All there is to be said on
this subject is that the several pretty
novel models of skirts coming from
Paris are as a general rule fiat around
the waist with considerable fullness
at the bottom. In order to thorough
ly comprehend the actual tendency of
Fashion and to get reliable informa-
tion as to the best way of securing
fine models of these stylish skirts,
one must consult the Mcdowell Fash
