New YORK, Nov. 30.-The advent Of
a new Gear has made everything Rus
sian again fashionable. Womankind has
always had a leaning for the land OF
snow because it is essentially the land
of luxury. Women like to think of
wrapping themselves up in black sables
and being warm and lovely and com
Portable, while the rest of the world is
shivering. That is where the woman is
very like the cat. Haven't you seen
Mistress, the pet cat, warm herself
thoroughly in front of the fire, eat
something good and then sit on the
window sill and lick her chops for the
benefit of the poor starving Toms who
are out in the cold? But to return to
Russia. Which, they say, everybody
does who has ever been there. The TACT
that the new Czarina is going to have
blue, green and yellow silk stockings,
has made these colors fashionable, and
the woman who is IN the swim tells
with glee of the many colors that sue
possesses in the fine silk, and how per-
| fectly they fit, being made so that the
| large toe has separate stall for itself,
| and the rest of the foot fits in the lower
part of the garment. For inasnuch as
the stocking reaches almost to ones
waist, it can truthfully enough be
called garment
ROYAL HoUsEwIFERY.
How many of the women who initiate
the pretty princess in her extravaganza
will initiate her in her housewifely
virtues? 1t is said that she can cook a
good dinner, that she is expert at sewing
long seam, and that she joys in dong
bits OF fine embroidery or knitting, moi
bits of lace, not untidy tides, but good
warm stockings warranted to keep com
Portable the feet OF the poor and the
Woodworking. There is a great deal il
having these womanly accomplishments
They become such refuge for one. jus
think Of the joys and sorrows that thu
fine cambria needle sews in the ion!
seam. Think as you place the needle
each time, what refuge it is, and how
because you must watch it, your lips ar
closed and you do not say the unkinI
words that otherwise would be so easy
We, who haven't titles, arc rather in
clined to think Of titled people as sittin!
on tuffets and doing nothing but drink
ing curds and whey ali the day long.

the baby's long dresses were made int
short ones, and that the present OF
little money from her mother was no
only gladly accepted, but it was used
