Lee Yum's Cat

The most amusing specimens of the
misuse of the English language come
from Asiatic people, to whom the
Anglo-Saxon formulas of speech are
the most strange and exotic thing in
the world. The amusing character OF
'Baboo," or Hindoo English, is we'll
known. Here is genuine specimen
of Chinese English, in the form of an
actual advertisement in newspaper
of Santa Barbara, Cal. which will do
to go with the letters of the Baboos:

A New Reception Toilette.

A very effective combination for a
reception toilette is of very pale Nile
green foulard glace with a darker
shade of velvet, writes Mrs. Mallon.
A tab of lace falls from the front in
stole fashion. The sleeves are of the
velvet, bouffant at their tops, and
finised at the elbow with a handsome
fall of lace, where they are tied with
ribbons. Around the foot of the skirt
is festooned founce of lace, with
bows of ribbon placed between the fes-
toons. A lovely dress of black tulle
has rows of turquoise blue ribbon
passed through it ut the hem, while
the band around the waist is made of
turquoise blue MORE. The sleeves are
very, full, made of turquoise blue gauze
fastened at the elbow with ribbon.
A brown and heliotrope shot silk is
made with pale yellow velvet vest,
under shortwaisted bodice, opened in
front, ornamented with revers. The
vest shows tiny brown spots over it.
The sleeves are large at the top, At
ting tightly at the wrist.

To the Rescue.

Some years ago there lived on the
coast of Lincolnshire, England, man
named Richard Hoodlsss, whose chief
business was to rescue shipwrecked
mariners. He had no boat and none
of the usual appliances for saving per-
sons from drowning, but mounted on
his gallant horse, would ride boldly
into the widest surf.
In the year 1888 IIoodless rode his
horse through a stormy sea and res
| cued the crew of the wrecked Her
mione, for which brave service the
Royal Humane society gave him tes-
| tinonial.
So high sea was running that IT
| was impossible to launch the life boat;
yet Richard Hoodless and his horse
faced the danger. The horse was
trained to swim in heavy seas, but few
riders could have held their seats under
| such perilous conditions.
The faithful horse plunged onward,
turning now and then for an instant
when wave threatened to engulf
him. Obedient to the slightest pull OF
the rein, he swan to the sinking
Hermione.
Two or three men chung to the brave
steed's back, and the perlious journey
| shoreward was begun. Back and forth
| went Hoodless and his horse until the
| last man was rescued.
| Once it seemed as If horse and riders
would be lost. Hoodless found that
his horse could not move from the
ships side. The poor animal was en-
tangled in rope under the water. TIC
dismount was impossible, and they
were in imminent danger of being
dashed against the ships side. Fortu-
nately Hoodless lifted the rope with
his foot, then pulled sharp knife
from his pocket, leaned forward into
the water, cut the rope-no easy task
in stormy sea-and so got off in
| safety

ionable furs used in the making
garments, wolverine being the ac
copied and universally liked trimming
for such, writes Mary f. Estes. Thij
will also be used extensively as an aug
mentation to the comfort of hand
some cloth jacket or cape.
The regulation sack back model,
about which SO much controversy is rife
is shown among the new importations
in seal Whether this style will be per-,
manent is a question. Among other
new designs is the "Desgrieux" Of
three-quarter length, having the back
gathered in a straight yoke, from
which it hangs in heavy folds. Thu
neck is finished with two collars, one
high Medicis, the other deep and
full, touching the sleeve tops, and
edged with wolverine. The front
hangs straight from the yoke, and the
sleeves are finished with genuine
gauntlet cuffs. English walking coats
of Persian lamb and seal have now a
cleft about ten inches deep either side
of the skirt back; these garments run
from thirty-six to forty-two inches in
length, and all have the gauntlet cuff.
Seal REFER and military cape of three-
quarter length are the leaders, although
the favorite twenty-inch cape is toe
convenient to be easily discarded. Fur
listers and Newmarkets are again
fashionable, the tendency being to-
ward raised shoulders, while on some
is adjusted the "Footman's Cape"
These coats, though handsome, are cx-
ceedingly burdensome, and liable to
crush the dress. The talma cape is
shown In seal with pointed yoke
back and front of Persian lamb. Tho
fur hood which appears on some inn
ported cloaks will hardly prove popu-
lar in America, as 1t tends to give a
round-shoulders appearance. Black
marten and seal and sable circulars
lined with squirrel will be the thing
for driving.

One of the prettiest center pieces ~

filled with roses, writes Ada Che !:
Bond ina paper on the "Etiquet Of
Breakfasts" The dish holding water
was set in the crown, and . pink satin
ribbon was passed around it through
the center of the flowers, and was tied
in q bow on one aide of the brim. The
ribbon was twisted where 1t passed
through the flowers, that 1t might not
separate them. 1t look as though a
garden hat had been used as basket
while the roses were being gathered,
and the effect was most artistic.

A Model wom.n,s society.

A "Ladiest Aid society is an i'm
portant part of church organization,
writes Mrs. Lyman Abbott in a care
fully prepared paper on Conducting a
Ladies' Aid Society" in the December
Ladies' Home Journal. And 1t should
not consist of few exceptionally de-
voted or energetic persons. Every
woman who Is member of the church,
and large proportion, II not all, of
the women in the congregation, should
be its efficient members. Every detail
Of attack upon evil, and every detail
of work for strengthening the good,
should be represented by n committee.
Foreign missions, home missions, hos
pital missions, kindergartens, rescue
work, working girls associations, every
phase of Christian philanthropy and
religious activity which can possibly
be employed in the church, should
have its representative in this society.l
All the women members and, as far as
possible, all those attending the serv-
ices of the church, should be enrolled.
A list as large as may be of the objects
which 1t would be possible for them to
consider as suitable for their work
should be made. A chairman of executive
ability should be elected for each OBJ
ject. Every woman in the congrega-
ton should be expected to attach
herself to one of the organizations,
and report to one of these chairman.
Be it little or much, she should do
something in its interest; even ''shut
i'm may send her word of suggestion,
and add her might of encouragement
though she have neither silver nor
strength to give. The president Of
the society should see that each new
conner in the parish is at once informed
of this plan, and invited and even
urged to attach herself to some com

sentative for the county of Wheatfield.
Mr.. F., who was one of the men
who are everything by turns and moth

ences during his career This fact was
known to M, who once, when they
were upon the platform together at a
crowded meeting, tainted his oppo-

When F-r-'s turn to speak came, he
rose with n countenancc upon which
the emotions of surprise and sorrow
were admirably expressed, and thus
''countered back" upon his antago-
mist.
''Gentlemcn," said he, "you have

but was summarily discharged from it..
But what was the reason for that
discharge? The fact that my opponent

shows him to be possessed of a moral
callousness that in itself sufficiently
establishes his unworthiness to receive

Gown. for Afternoon Teas.

A beautiful gown for an afternoon
reception is composed of brown ben
galine and cream and brown shot
terry velvet, writes Mrs. Mallon, in q
helpful article on Gowns for After
noon Receptions and Teas" in the De-
cember Ladies' Home Journal. The
plain bengaline skirt is relieved by the
long panels of the velvet at the back.
The bodice is of velvet with broad, full
ruffie of the bengaline falling over the
full sleeves, and velvet scarf crosses
buckle. Narrow ruffies or frills of the
silk are added to the edge of the
bodice, each full edged with
tiny fancy braid. A hand
some black silk is made over a
petticoat of pale lilac. The hem is
trimmed with heavy black founce.
A lilac ruche crosses. the front and
panels of the lace cover the sides.
Wide revers of the silk faced with the
lilac are on the bodice. The sleeve are
of the lilac made full at the top, COW
cred with the lace and tight to the
arm from the elbow to the wrist. Still
