sol is of soft green surah, with frills of
old rose chiffon embroidered in white
floss 1 am glad to be able to say some
thing in favor of an Elton jacket. They
are so very stiff and bOyish generally
that the woman who wears one loses
something of her own grace while gain
ing nothing from the jacket, but this
one has seams down the back which
give it a flare at the bottom, and a very
graceful collar with deep revers. 1t is
cut away in front and has six buttons
and as many buttonholes, though they
are not expected to fasten. There is a
sprung pointed girdle of a darker shade
to match the collar and the small places
showing on the revers- Then there is a
full gathered vest of silk or crepe de
chine All these things together make
this a really handsome jacket. 1 forgot
to mention that there are buttons on
the very full gigot sleeves. This style
of Elton Jacket can be worn by a young
girl in her teens or a grandmother and
be appropriate for both, providing the
rest of the costume is in keeping.

HE WAS ALL RIGHT.
He Wouldn't Die For Her, For He Had q
Better Thing.


A young lady who was the recipient
of attention from two young men equally
eligible in point of good looks, social po-
sition and financial solidity, and enter
tanned similar feelings for both, was in a
quandary as to which to choose should
they propose. A friend to whom she
confded her difficulty suggested that
she should put both to some test to prove
the strength of their affection. She took
the advice, and to the first who avowed
his affection said:
''You tell me that you love me. How
do know that you are sincere? What
would you do to show your love?''
''Anything," replied the ardent lover,
who had a spice of romance in his dispo-
sitlon. Anything. would go to the
worlds end for you. 1 would endure
any suffering for you. 1 would die for
you if necessary
Such ardent protestations brought the
bushes to her cheeks and thrill of hap
piness to her, and she thought that GER
tainly no one could love her more fond
ly than he did. She asked, however, for
a little delay before giving him an an
swer to his suit.
Meanwhile the other proposed, and she
questioned him in like manner.
well" said he, I'll tell you what I
would do to show you my love. If you
marry me, you shall have good clothes
to wear. I will see that you are always
the owner of a handsome sealskin jacket,
and that your hats or bonnets are always
in fashion, and l will be a faithful and
loving husband to you
@sBut wouldn't you go to the worlds
end for me or any of that sort of thing,
you know?'' she asked as she toyed with
his coat buttons.
81 don't want to go to the worlds end, :"
he replied. 1--WE got a nice paying bust
ness here, and as for dying for you, I'd
rather live with you

flashed before her mind, Il think you

there were only three or four in some,
but eight or ten in others. found also
that there were some skirts made with
quite a deep network of fine aluminium
wire, which is light and flexible, but
made to hold the skirt out 1 have not
seen any of these distenders on the street
yet, but I am sure that 1 shall, for the
fool killer has been out of the country
quite awhile. When the skirts are so
graceful and becoming as they are now,
why go to work to swell them out SIM
ply that some manufacturers may grow
rich? L cannot see any sense in it, and
think there viii be so many OF my opin-
ion that if this artfully named hoop
skirt does grow fashionable it will take
almost national importance, and there
will be two parties, one for and one
against the hoop.
Just notice Two lovely girls who come
walking along the street, the very en-
bodiment of grace as well as refined
taste. They have neither improver nor
distender. The one wears "a warm red

in such a way as to bring the figure

belt is Of the same and is shirred to a
stiff foundation, and there is a buckle
covered with the silk.
The other is as pretty and is like it
in that there are no stiff and ungraceful
dress distenders. 1t hangs in a natural
fashion and has five cores and a gather
ed back. 1t is of Scotch bingham cut so
that the plaids come on the bias The
colOrs are old rose and moss green.
Around the bottom are two rows of i'll

bow and end on each side of two cabo-

ought to be described, since everything
has been purchased or made with a di-
