Tut. Tut. MT. Ruskin.

Ruskin has written letter in reply to the question, fought parents to leave a fortune to their children?" He says that parents ought to educate and main tain their children until they reach ma turity. Damned modernism, " he adds, "eats its children young. When they are strong, throw them out of the nest, but let the nest be always open to them. Nc guilt should ever stand between child and parent. The doors should be always open to a daughter who is harlot. or son who is thief, if they return, but no fortune should be left to them. - New York Times.

Enforoe a Special Law For Cyclists.

There is the same complaint in Lon don as here against the criminal reck- lessness of certain cyclists. It was only the other day that the home secre- tary was asked whether some police regulation could be framed requiring such registration and numbering of cycles as would secure the tracing of their riders or owners i'll case or accl- dent. "The scorchers are often spoken of as very small minority, but on some roads they are in very large minority Every moment cyclists come past at 10 or 20 miles an hour without giving the slightest notice of their approach. They evidently rejoice in frightening ladies and startling men. The nuisance is ln- tolerable and must be checked in some way ''-Boston Jornal.

THE NEW COAT.


When 1t comes to new coats all the
world OF femininity has reason 10 rejoice.
All the old. tight-fitting. long-skirted af-
fairs, so popular last year, and so uncom-
Portable, and so universally ugly, have
been put on the shelf; new coats are short
lCose-fronted. and are as becoming as be-
coming can be. Backs fit trinity into the
figure. ripping out below the waist in a
fulllsh tail, and sleeves are large, on the
gigot order. and droop low from the
shoulders Cloth in pale tans and browns
is a favorte material for these coats, and
not uncommonly the seams are strapped
over with narrow bands Of the same one
very dashing little jacket after this model
was of plain, black broadcloth, with an
orange silk lining. IL was double breast
ed. with narrow mannish revers, and the
cocky little affair was TO be worn with
Observation-Disclosures skirt, which, ac-
cording to authorities, is the last agony
in combinations.
As 10 imported model coats, there is no
set shane. Of course. All are short, or
shortish. but there are loose coats and
tight coats; coats with distinct YOKE
effects, and coats trimmed and untrimmed.
One OF the vast untrimmed variety,
and that struck the meditative eye as
within the bounds Of comfort and reason,
IS shown here in the design with yoke
effect. The stun is tan cloth In the
highest possible weight; the lining Is
striped taffeta in pale violet
The Jacket with blouse front is Raud-
nitz visiting affair OF white Engllsn serge
so,,tacbed with dull gold braid. The
rev.rs are gold colored peau de sole,
busted with gilt beads. and the pay vest
front is OF white gauZe.
The high stock collar and throat knots
are of gold ribbon in heavy grade.
