it is most becoming to the complexion;
nothing so sets off the figure or may be
made to hang 50 well. Mark the prophecy
Ito obtain q gray or a purple velvet
gown will be the ambition of every Weld
dressed New York woman.
No more taffeta ribbons will be used
for millinery purposes. Piece velvets and
velvet ribbon will take their place. as
plumes viii follow in the path of flowers.
Silk was never in greater denland than
it will be this coming winter. The heav-
lest weaves, the thickest cords. will be
most in favor. Light weight silks will be
used only for Innings. Heavy moires and
richly brocaded satins with raised flowers
in contrasting hues. and in shades to
match the ground tint. will be the fabrics
for dinner and evening wear.
Mothers notice the improvements IN
school methods in no other direction, per-

give to their children.
One woman said recently:-sI never

sits down to draw, or to paint, or to
write. or she arrange her collection Of
moths. or the stones she has got together
in her pursuit of geology. or she takes
out her microscope and her press board
and adds to her botanical collections.
although she is only II years old, she
has more and more varied interests than
many grown women and I find that in our
summer in the country she looks at
everything with great understanding n
zest because our modern school system
has developed her mind in so many direc-
tions to grasp all branches of knowledge
that are open to her opening mind. I
studied most of these same things I'm my
last terms at school and soon forgot them
when l went into society and had other
interests. But her love for them win in
crease with her growth and make her, I
trust, a happy, busy woman, some day,
with no time hanging heavily on her
hands and countless sources of amuse-
ment and profit within herself"
The remarkable case of a woman who
did not know her own husband is reported
from England. A baboring man whose
name was Frederick Holiday was ar
rested on a warrant for negiecting to sup
port his wife and three children. While
admitting that his name was Frederick
Holiday, that his wife was also named
Sarah and that he had, like the man
wanted, three children. he absolutely de-
MEX that he was the person against whom
the warrant had been issued. At the police
court he was seen by the wife of his re-
quired namesake, who declared that he
was her husband. At a later examination,
when impressed with the prisoners posi-
tive demands the woman scrutinized the
man closely and carefully. she finally de
cided that she was wrong and later events
proved her right in this last conclusion.
1t was certainly a most singular coinci-
dence that there should be two Frederick
Holidays of exactly the same age, en-
gagged in sinailar occupations and both
having wives Of the same name and three
children, and that the men should be So
much alike that the wife of one at first
believed the other to be her husband.
