AT HARVEST.

If we have let our sunny springtime pass
With idle scorn of what the year might
bring
Have gathered flowers to toss them on
the grass,
And only cared to hear the wood birds
sing;
If we have turned aside from sober truth
In bright, delusive fairylands to stray,
And spent the golden promise of our
youth
With selfish living and regardless play
When shadows fall we shall be struck at
heart
With bitter grieving for our blasted
fate;
And then the lesson of life's sadder part
VIII lead to agonized remorse-too late,
The land is barren now which once was
green;
We never can be what we might have
been. ARTHUR l.. SALMON.

foxes. the roll is so big-fashioned in
to muff.
! But no muff traditions here if yor
! please. It is entirely without stiffen-
ing; no more than huge fur bag with
an enchanting Marie Antoinette lining
and, when under caressing fingers, il
stretches itself out like a sleek and
grateful pussy cat, it is just twenty-five
inches long!
| 1t is only a fad, however, one of Mad
anne Nodes eccentric pleasantries.
INEXPENSIVE FURS.
And now away to that part of New
York, where furs are within the bounds
of common mortal possibilities, are as
tonishingly reasonable indeed, and not
bad furs either.
Here we discover. if only through
their rarity, that ermine and chinchil-
la are to be simpler novelties in the
world of fashion.
The more wearable Persian lamb and
Alaska sable take their places for capes
and for coats both Persian and seal
are much used. AS to the shape OF
Jackets, the double-breaSt ed front with
flat Prince Albert shirt back, which lies
in two heavy in-turning pleats, seems
to be the favorite model.
Many have the fgll frilly back of last
season, however, and in length they
are all the way from thirty to thirty
eight inches.
Capes are if anything fuller than
ever, with the exception of a very short
one, the Columbia collar, which is very
beautiful in chinchilla and is now made
more Scant.
Muffs, that is muffs for use, are the
same stiff medium-sized rolls we have
known for some time, but dainty trifies,
in silk and velvet, and hung with rib
bons, heads and even flowers, are also
shown. Correct tippets have only one
head, and are preferred in sable, Per
sian or marten.
Ali entire fur garments, leaving out
the most expensive skins, are lined
with figured silk or satin. A deep full
cape of heavy brown cloth, on the con-
trary, may have an entire lining, collar
and border edge of sable; while with
the exception of the. border edge, an
evening CONNECTION of rich white mate
lasse silk showing orchid-green rehec-
tons, may in the same way be ar
ranged with errnine.
In this wandering about one gets val
liable hints as to combinations. We find
short seal capes, frilled like skirts, and
narrowly bordered with a pale yellow,
hairy fur, that seems to be making it's
debut as a trimming.
REMODELING.
AT an unpretentious furrier's we get
an idea as to the possibilities of any
scrap of good fur; and are shown a
marvellous Persian cape that hangs
from smooth shoulders in full flounce
to the waist ana that began its career
five years ago as mere acorn.
Then it was a tiny shoulder cape, but
winter by winter the little furrier has
pieced it out for his, customer until now
it is the fashionable achievement de-
scribed.
One comes across bargains, too, in
this poking around; and chief among
them may be noticed a full cape of wool
seal, that comes just below the waist,
and has high collar and border edge
of black martin.
Wool seal has coarse, hairy surface,
and is not elegant" we are told, but
nevertheless it makes a very effective
garment. NINA FITCH.

ABOUT WOMEN.

The advanced end of the century wo-
men, who regard Madam Sarah Grand
of heavenly twins fame as one of their
disciples, win be disappointed to learn
that she is anything but a moralist. On
the contrary, she is a woman of so
called liberal ideas, and would never
suggest, much less enforce, an unfanlil-
lar moral code. To some Americans,
who met her this summer in Scotland,
she explained the inspiration which
prompted her much discussed book. She
said, "Evadne was not conviction of
my own, but a theory worked cut, and

That found the common daylight sweet,

OF all the winter things fashioned
for her comfort and adjoining, nothing
is more dear to the feminine heart
than the new furs.
"Furs softer than sleep" as Theoer-
titus puts it. She knows to be more than
friendly to either blonde or brunette
types.
And besides-and strongest of every

>osy muff1ings of luxury and elegance,
they are endowed with an almost SEN
timental value in the charm of distant
and difficult blessings.
HIGH-PRICED SKINS.
This touching appreciation is espe-
cially evident where the rare furs are
concerned, the priceless Russian sables
with their velvety Innings, the snowy
ermines, blue fox, and feather-like, chin
chillas; all of which are worth more
even than their weight in gold, one
feels inclined to think, and are as beau
tiful as things dreamed of in dreams

Mrs. Kendal's methods of housekeep-

of her house hangs a pencil and slate.
Once a day she makes a tour of the en-

thing wrong, she writes her complaints
and orders on the slate assigned to the
particular room at fault. The house
maid follows in her mistresss wake,
and if she has any replies ito make
writes them also. This saves all jar
