The business woman,s Gown.


Whether you sit.at a desk or behind
a counter it goes without saying that
dark colors are always to be preferred,
writes Isabel A. Mallon in "The Art
of Dressing for Business in the Feb
ruary Ladies Home Journal. The
crushed raspberry, peacock blue or any
of the bazarre shades may please for
two weeks. perhaps month, but at
the end of that time you will have
tired Of the color. 1t has grown COM
mon and yet you must wear it all sea-
son. A dark color does not of necessity
mean black; there are besides, navy
blue, seal brown, Lincoln green and a
deep cardinal. Any one Of these colors
is suitable for business wear, and not
one of them tiresome to the eye. Serge,
with its heavy cord, is the material Of
all others to which give preference
for business wear. / never advise a
smooth cloth. After this come the
closelywoven, fannels, camel's hair,
the suitings that have rough surface,
and either Henrietta cloth or cashmere
In France the girls who are in shops
all wear black silk dresses that are fur
nished by the proprietors of tide estab-
lishment, and are laid aside when bus
iness hours are over.

ly. SIT says SO in Little Arthur. -
This dreadful decree was too much for
my childish heart, and tears began to
flow fast. Then those boys, who were
not so bad after all, cut the string and
restored her to my arms. But this
time there was no hope of her recovery;
the fierce fire had burnt her face out of
all recognition, and scorched her badly
all over.
The perpetrators of the cruel deed
saw was greatly distressed, and sug-
gested as consolation that we should
give Lady Jane splendid funeral be-
fitting her rank. And so we did, and
big bush of sweet syringa shadowed
the remains of my favorite doll.-Pall
