IhE BETTER HlA|LEE!"

Season of misis and mellow fruitfnlness
Close bosom friend Of The maturing sun;
Com piring with him To load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the matched
run; 81
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage trees
And ill ali fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd aud plump the hazs shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more.
And still more, later flowers for the bees
Until they think warm days will never cease.
For Summer has DER brimmed their cammy cells.
John Keats.
October's jewel is the opal, and there is a
saying to the effect that
Ocober's child is born for woe,
And lifes vicissitudes must know
But lay opal on her breast,
And hope will lull those to rest.

Perforated velvets, velvetcens, and silks
made up over contrasting colors are new this
Winter. Generally some bright color-ma-
genta blue-is used for the under color. The
perforated goods have not yet made their APP
pearance in ordinary life. but have been much
commended as being ltra-fashionable.

Alsatian bows are again to the forefront, and
are part of the evidence to prove that Dame
Fashion is not SO tickle as she is credited with
being.
| Conspicuous gloves are still fashionable-all
except the scarlet, lobster-like ones, and those
of unpleasant green. The white pale blue or
gray ones, with broad black stitchings and
bindings, the yellow or red heavy gloves and
the white or yellow ones worn with dark

soft colors just matching the gown, or the dark
ones that make the hands seem small and slen-
der, are comparatively neglected by Swelldom.

II is promised that hypnotism will do away
with the pain at the dentists. That this hyp-
notism is power probably of great vaue in
the practice of healing is theory among many
of the younger medical men who are max ing it
a part of their studies. 1t u.s. however, asserted
that the stories of girls being hypnotized to
marry men whom ordinarily they dislike, the
stories of crimes committed while under hyp-
motto influence, arc set aside as fabrications
outside of all probability; however, that is an
other story, and one that has several sides.

The neck trimmings are now in their COM
pletest triumph Even the small darby girl
who helps carry home the washing can boast
collar OF some shade of red made with loop
roset under each ear. and almost every girl
you meet on the street, at luncheons, or early in
the morning or late at night, has her more or
less slender throat swathed in double bowed
ribbon or chiffon. Matinees arc made bright,
with circlets of magenta and turquoise blue
and big Alsatian bows OF color decorate the hats
or toques above the threats. "Chrysanthe- |
mum collars" some are called whom chrysan-
thamum shades, pink, yellow, dark-red, or |
pinkish purple. arc chosen and thin crepe is the |
material Hats are also frequently trimmed |
with double bows one above each mple, but |
this often results in rdempnac effect that must |
be guarded against.

Some time ago there was published in this |
part of the paper an account OF the attempts of
a girl here in Washington to get some work
that would enable her to support herself and
her father aud mother AS proof of the imme-
date kindly spirit that is abroad in the
world, Notwithstanding the pessimsm of
many people, another woman sent through
the editor a suggestion to the girl that she ad-
vertise in the local papers as DESTROYS of doing
work at the homes of customers, just
as sewing women go around to the homes of
their customers. The letter was sent to the
girl, and she has promised to make an effort to
help herself in this manner. If she should sue
ceed-not succeeding of course will not make
tho suggestion necessarily less valuable-the
readers will hear more concerning her. And
we ALL the girls friends. and all who like to
find people quick to be kind and thoughtful,
thank the friendly one who has made this
effort to help another woman to make life sue
