THE MORLD'S FAKE TRUST.

and they are prettier than ever this
autumn. Those of black chiffon over
colored silk Innings are especially be-
coming to young figures when trim
med with deep frills and bertha of
chiffon.
Black silk gowns are to be worn a
great deal this fall and winter, with
fancy jackets and blouses for extra
bodices.
Fancy waists of changeable red
and black velours are very stunning,
with tiny jacket fronts edged with
jet, blouse vest and crush collar. The
collar, jacket edges and waists have
a tiny frilling of red chiffon.
Crush collars made of wide taffeta
ribbon are edged with narrow black
velvet ribbon.
The principal change in tailor
made suits is the many rows of stitch
ing at the hem, which are replaced
on other gowns by narrow braid, vel
vet or ribbon.
A dainty calling gown for autumn
is charming in it's pretty simplicity.
It is made of dove-colored crepe and
has a skirt edged with braiding of
white. The deep yoke and epaulettes
are of plated white crepe and wide
belt of turquoise velvet adds just the

clock A watch differs from a clock
in it's having vibrating wheel In
stead of vibrating pendulum; and,
as in clock, gravity is always pull
ing the pendulum down to the bot
tom of it's arc, which is it's natural
place of rest, but does not fix it there,
because the momentum acquired dur
ing it's fall from one side carries it
up to an equal height on the other.
So in a watch spring, generally
SPIRAL surrounding the axis of the
balance wheel, is always pulling this
towards middle position of rest,
but does not fix it there, because the
momentum acquired during its APP
proach to the middle position, from
either side, carries it just as far past
on the other side, and the spring has
to begin it's work again The balance
wheel at each vibration allows one
tooth of the adjoining wheel to pass,
as the pendulum does in clock. A
handspring is used to keep up the
motion of the watch, instead of the
weight used in a clock; and as a
spring acts equally we'll whatever be
it's position, watch keeps time
wherever carried. In winding up
watch one turn of the axle on which
is the stem, it rendered equivalent,
by the train of wheels to about four
hundred turns or beats of the bal
ance-wheel, an exertion of few Sec
onds, thus giving motion for TWEEN
ty-four or thirty hours.

A Womans Autumn Wardrobe.

Il OllduS AuUuuu w druFOD6u
The American Agriculturist tells
us that already our women are busy
discussing the new colors, new ma
terials and latest designs for hats,
coats and gowns. 1t says:
The important details, such as the
width of skirts and the fullness of
sleeves, have not yet been decided,
but there is no doubt that sleeves
will be much smaller than last sea-
son and skirts more scant and trim
med instead of severely plain.
One of the extravagant fads of the
season is trimmed Skirts An i'm
ported model received this week is of
violet broadcloth, edged with points
of black velvet, fastened to the skirt
by an embroidered edge done by
hand, while into this large fiat jets
are sewed. Narrow ruffles edge many
of the newest skirts, and are made
of the same material as the dress, or
of silk or velveteen. If Velveteen is
used, it must be of thin quality and
cut so narrow that three ruffles do
not occupy more than five inches.
Skirts made entirely of tiny ruffles
are being sent out by fashionable
dress makers.
Ruches of lace, net, silk or chiffon
are also used for dress trimmings,
and another fancy is battlement
shaped pieces cut out and around the
bottom and trimmed with narrow
braid.
The skirts of new tailor gowns are
trimmed in some way about the front
breadths. Broad strips of braid down
the two side seams to form an apron
effect, with clusters of short straps
crossing them toward the bottom, is
a neat trimming seen on an imported
suit.
Moire will be used for skirts and
entire costumes but as yet there are
no signs of it's being used for trim
ming.
There is a rumor abroad that we
are going to have perfect craze for
yellow this winter.
Sleeves are worn very long on the
new house gowns, often coming down
over the hands several inches.
Feather boas will be worn with
every sort of costume, from a street
gown to an elaborate evening frock.
Some of these bOas are fastened I'M
der the head of bird and others are
finished by punches of ribbon loops.
Many of the handsome fall ribbons
have velvet effects and brilliant bro
cades toned down with black satin
stripes.
Fancy waists and odd bodices have

Happiness and Work.

We are confronted on every side,
in the crowded city or in the lonely
country where the homes are far
apart, with the fact that work lies
before us: and the two words as some
one has truly said, largely depend
on each other. There can be no real
genuine happiness without work
and one cannot work without being
happy-he may go through the mo-
ton but if heart is not in it there
will be dissatisfaction to stare in the
face when completion comes. AS
the writer above mentioned says so
say we, and we offer it for study.
':When God made the law that
man must earn his bread by the
sweat of his face, he conferred the
greatest possible blessing upon him,
and it is only those who are contin-
ually striving to evade that law that
find life's pathway most difficult to
travel. Who do the grumbling and
fault-fnding, and are never salts
fed anywhere? Not the busy work
ers-thOse who work with heart and
brain and willing hands to amass
fortune, to win a name among their
fellOw-men, or merely to earn liv
ing. They are too busy for that.
Their minds as well as their hands
are employed, and they have neither
the time nor the desire for idleness
the supposed state of happiness
longed for by the drOnes in this
busy workaday world.
idle people find it a difficult mat
ter to dispose of their time. They
tire of reading, of louning about, Oh
walking merely for the sake Of walk
ing, of shopping with no particular
object but to kill time, of visiting
their friends, who, of like themselves,
find the task of entertaining them de-
cidedly irksome; or if they belong
to the busy workers, are a continual
reproach to the idlers, providing
their sensabilities are not as indo-
lent as their bodies, and they are far
from being happy. An idle child is

continually complaining for amuse-
ments, which the Industrious one
will provide for himself, and the
tasks he has to perform are done
with such an i'll grace and with so
much complaining, one would rather
do the work than be bothered with
them; while the willing worker dis
poses of each job as if it were a
pleasure Gas it really is), and when
through with them goes to his play
with the feeling that he has earned
the right to his amusements, and en-
joys them accordingly.
tasks are made harder by putting
off from day to day what should be
done at once. "A task begun is half
done is an old and true saying, and
there is no happiness like the happi-
ness of looking back over work well
done.
''To the young and middle-aged
work is a necessity. AS it is one of
the laws which control our being, so
it is of vital Importance in our lives.
AS | said before, an idle child is
worthless; how much worse is an idle
youth! If their minds and hands
are employed, they will not have
either the time or inclination to be
studying up crime or committing
acts which cause them and their
friends life of sorrow. The mid
dle-aged man or woman who will
say, while yet in the prime of life.

after some one else may take my
place. is of another class that never
fell in love- with work.

them tell over the tales of early
trials and hardships, which, while
hard at the time, only proved the
mettle in them, as gold is tried by
fire; and now that their working
days are over, can feel that they are
deserving of the loving care that will
follow them the few remaining days
of their lives. And it may be that if
we perform our work faithfully and
cheerfully, we, too, shall hear at
life's closing, Wei done, thou good
and faithful servant; enter into the
joys of thy rest However it may
be, even should we get weary and
