SONG OF THE LIONESS.
The Lullaby She Has to Calm Her
 Noisy Little Cubs.

The Lullaby She Has to Calm Her
 Noisy Little Cubs.
 Fanny Locke Mackenzie has Rus sian story, "The Little Duchess and the Lion Tanner" in St. Nicholas. Here is the tanners account of one of his pets: ''The lioness is Puska," he said, 'Leo's wife; and she Is great scold. She growls and worries at Leo all the time. Sometimes she even slaps him with her paw, and snarls at him; but to the baby lions Puska is very gentle and kind. She sings to them softly, and licks their smooth little heads with her warm tongue, and they snuggle up to her and listen, until they fall fast asleep. She always sings the same lullaby song."
 He closed his eyes and dropped his head lower over his hand.
 PUSKA'S SONG. When Kiva, the big snake, swallows tho
 sun,
 Then, O my cubkin, the long day is done. Yellow and burning, so the day dies, Drowsy lids, drowsy lids, close over eyes. Sleep, sleep, while mother purrs, Sleep, sleep, cubkin of hers.
 Lie low, cuddle and rest,
 Sleep, now, mother knows best. ''That is Puska's song," he said. "Sing 1t again." begged little Ouch ess, her eyelids dropping down over her brown eyes, and Ivan sang: Hear my heart beat for you, small whelp
 of mine,
 All the love in it surely is thine; Hear Mana, the night-hawk, call as he
 flies,
 Drowsy lids, drowsy lids, close over eyes.
 Sleep, sleep, etc.
 "Once more, please" she said dream ily; her head rested against the white bearskin, and her dark flashes touched her cheek. Half under his breath, soft ly, sleepily he murmured It.: When the night falls, come the stars one
 by one;
 Fire-f1ies fit. and the little mice run. As Bursa, the beetle, passes, he cries, Drowsy lids, drowsy lids, close over eyes.
 Sleep. sleep, etc.

WHEREIN THEY DIFFER.
How < Magazine Writer Compares Man
and His Sisters

How e Magazine Writer Compares Man
and His Sisters
Man is creature of cast-iron ha bits;
woman adapts herself to circumstances.
This is the foundation of the moral diff
ference between them.
A man does not attempt to drive "A
nail unless he has a hammer; IA woman
does not hesitate to utilize anything
from the heel of boot to the back of u
brush.
A man considers n corkscrew abso-
lutely necessary to open Il bottle; a
woman attempts to extract the cork
with the scissors; if she does not sue
ceed readily she pushes the cork into
the bottle, since the essential thing is to
get at the fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which
man puts razor; woman employs it
for a chiropodist's purposes.
When man writes, everything must
be in apple-pie order; pen, paper and
ink must be just so, and profound ST
lence must reign when he performs this
important function. A woman gets any
sort of paper, tears it, perhaps, from
book or portfolio, sharpens Il pencil
with a scissors, puts the paper on an old
atlas, crosses her feet, balances herself
on her chair and confides her thoughts
to paper. changing from pencil 10 pen
and vice versa from time to time, nor
does she care if the children romp or the
cook comes to speak to her.
A man storms if the blotting paper is
not conveniently near; woman dries
the ink by blowing on it, waving the
paper in the air or holding it near Ii
lamp or fire.
A man drops letter unhesitatingly
in the box; woman rereads the adj
dress, assures herself that the envelope
is sealed, the stamp secure, and then
throws it violently into the box.
For man "good-by" signifies the end
of conversation and the moment of his
departures; for woman it is Just the
beginning of a new chapter, for it is
just when they are taking leave of each
other that women think of the most i'm
portant topics of conversation.
A woman ransacks her brain trying
TO mend broken object; man puts it
aside and forgets that for which there
is no remedy.
Which is superior? - Lippincotts

What to wear is a question that is
agitating the feminine world far less
than how to fill the list of Christmas
presents, which is longer this year
than it ever was before, because it is
older and has taken on at least one
more name each year. Nevertheless,
Christmas will no sooner be over than
there will be another grand rush to
the modiste and dressmaker similar to
the swoop that the summer girl made
upon her return to city civilization in
October.
Those Louis XVI. waists did not get
fairly started in that first onslaught,
and have only been coming OH piece
meal during the autumn months. This
is more to their advantage than other
wise, for so long as style remains
fashionable without becoming com
mon it is the thing most to be desired.
1t will be very difficult for the ordinary
dressmalgcr to initiate these waists,
for the ordinary customer; because un-
less they are made of the finest of vel
vet they do not look like Louis XVI.
waists at all, and the ordinary mortal
cannot afford velvet at $3.50 or So per
yard for any kind of waist. But there
are so many extraordinary mortals

over the sleeves, which were mere
puffs. Under the epaulcts and over
the sleeves was hounce of lace.
Children's cloaks are long, reaching
to the bottom of the dress. The collars
are quite wide, and are made in sec
tions, being slashed at the shoulder
and usually edged with fur Bouche
or cheviot makes the prettiest coats
for ordinary wear. The fur used is
either stone marten or ermine. Swans
down and narrow edge of mink are
also used.
Lace, both applique and founced, is
much used on coats for children of
all ages.
Their bonnets are stiff in the Quaker
style, with very broad brims, especial
ly right at the top. A little blonde
princess, whose coat was green ben
galine, had 4 bonnet with brim that
stood up seven or eight inches above
her golden hair, but narrowed down
TO almost nothing when it reached her
bonnet strings. 1t was faced with
pink silk that was plated up and
down. A couple of pink tips peeped
over the brim, and the strings were
pink, but the bonnet was green to
match her coat.
Some of the bonnets are faced with
lace like that worn by the wee tot in
the pictures. Others have bow of rib
bon in a pale shade; and one of the
sweetest ] have seen was pure white
with bunch of tiny rosebuds resting
On the sunny curls. Altogether, the
wee tots clothes are more fascinating
than those of their elders, and perhaps
we take all the more pleasure in them
because we have mental pictures of the
unattractive frocks which our puritan
grandmothers considered proper for
children. ALICE AMoRY.

A distinguished medical authority
says "the best way to guard the feet
against the effects of cold or of getting
them wet is to battle them every morn
ing in cold water. The first morning
they cannot be kept in water longer
than two or three seconds, after which
they must be rubbed vigorously, to re-
store the circulation. A rough crash
towel is the best thing to use. Each
morning increase the time that the feet
can be held in water until they can be
hathed for fifteen minutes without any
discomfort"

these days that it is safe to predict
that enough of these waists will be
worn that were fashionable at the end
of last century to insure their regulat-
ing the gowns that grace the going
out of our own centur9-perhaps until
the new one is ushered in. Who knows
but that the Goth century girl may
make her debut in d Marie Anto;nette

But that is too far off to consider
now, and if we must look to the fu-
ture, there is our last leap year of the
century to he considered. We must
certainly look our best then, for it
would be far more humiiating to be
refused than never to be asked, which
is the worst fate that can overtalle MS

would insure us against such calam-
ity there are plenty of girls who would
buy velvet at any price and make up
half dozen of the alluring garments.
