OVER THE TEACUPS.


Suits with coats to match are great
favorites with skaters A gray tweed
has the left side of the skirt trimmed
with tabs and buttons, an arrangement
which is repeated in the jacket that
buttons up diagonally with the same
sort of tabs. One tab at the shoulder
fastens at the very edge of the sleeve.
The Jacket is box-shaped in front, but
fits in at the waist in the back. The
high collar is a fair sample of the kind
that comes on all the new coats. Il
stands UP close around the face, leav-
ing no room for the cold breezes to
circulate around ones neck, and very
effectually protecting the wearer
against the elements The hat worn
with this suit was small tOque
trimmed high in front with birds.
A dress which was worn without a
wrap was made with a plated Elton
that hung loose at the bottom and
disclosed a waistcoat or embroidered
trimming.
The hat was a Tam O'Shanter shape
trimmed with waving paradise plumes.
The jacket is preferable to the cape,
as it is more trim, and offers less re-
sistance to the breeze than a cape.
Tight-fitting coats are worn by many
of the skaters, but the loose empire

more freedom of movement than the
other.
The present is called an age of re-
form, and to enumerate the many So
cieties which are organized for that
purpose, one would really think that
very many people are intent upon a
radical reformation in society. But on
close examination it will be found that
10 10 nf thnc0 n
tions are intended to reform somebody
else. Somebody who does not have the
advantages of education and culture
which the members of these asSocia-
tions have enjoyed. The object may
be good, and, indeed, somewhat self
denying, and the members may wonder
why they have no better success in
their work of reforming those whom
they wish to help. The whole difficulty
may lie in the fact that there are
many things in themselves which need
reform to which they should first give
attention. It is said charity should be-
gin at home. This may admit of some
difference of opinion. but reform should
always begin at home, and should often
continue there for some time before we
attempt to reform others. What an
army of successful reformers we should
have if everyone now supposing herself
to be engaged in reforming others
should begin TO examine wherein she
herself needs reformation, and begin to
make thorough work at home. What
reformation army we should soon have.

A woman will broil a steak. says a
wise woman, who knows, and see that
the coffee does not boil over, and watch
the cat that she does not steal tho
remnant of the meat on the kitchen
table, and dress the youngest boy, and
set the table, end see TO the roast, and
stir the oatmeal, and give the orders
to the butcher, and she can do it all
at once and not half try. Man has
done wonders since he came before the

he has penetrated the mysteries of the
starry heavens. he has harnessed the
lightning and made it pull street cars
and light the great cities of the world.
But he cannot find a spool of red
thread in his wife's workbasket: he

out clothes and get them on the line

doing it. either. He cannot be polite
to somebody he hates. He cannot sit
in a rocking-chair without banging
the rockers into the Dashboard. He
cannot put the tidy on the sofa pillow
