much talent in the pitching line and a further
wedding out Is looked for.

Out For a Walk.

A .Jack-o' lantern went for walk
With turkey gobbler gay
The time they chose for their promenade
Was the night of Thanksgiving day.
Said the Jack o o-iantern, LET us 60
And into the window peep
Where Billy Boy, tired out at last,
Is lying fast asleep
On tiptoe, then. up the hill they stole.
"We'll frighten him well. said they,
"Then he'll not want to eat all our brothers
up.
On next Thanksgiving day.
"Gobble, Pobble!" then cried the gobbler
And Billy woke at the sound.
He sat up I'm bed and rubbed his eyes,
And began TO look around.
But when he saw the grinning face,
And the bird with bristling wings.
He thought of witches and Brownies and
Inns,
And all OF those kind of things,
And he gave "A scream and hid his face,
And his mother soon was near,
"What Is the matter, my SOM" she said,
"You are ft cling i'll, / fear"
"They are after me! They are after mel"
Cried Billy with streaming eye;
You are dreaming" his mother said.

And whispered, "NOw come away,

DIFFERENT WOMEN.

A man who has had a long diplo.
matte career and knows whereof he
speaks has been making an interest.
ing comparison of the different women
of Europe. He says that in England
the average accomplishments of the
class known as gentlewomen are not
high. Every girl is supposed to learn
how to sketch and play the piano, but
her acquaintance with modern Ian
guages and history is nil. English
girls are exuberant in health, spirits
and vitality, due to their fondness for
outdoor life, but they do not shine in
any particular except riding and lawn
tennis. If conversation is broached
on any subject outside OF their imme'
diate interest they are dull and at sea.
'It would be difficult" says this man,
''to find in England gentlewoman
who is acquainted with the identity
of the President Of tho United States
and who does not fancy New Orleans
is but q few hours from Boston"
In France there are daughters Of the
old aristocracy who have made point
of being graduated from the public
schools and obtaining diplomas, fitting
them to earn their living as govern
esses and teachers, but this is excep.
tional. What the French woman may
lack in knowledge, however, she makes
up in grace, chic and elegance.
Austrian and Hungarian women can
not be considered accomplished, and
an intellectual one would be as much
of an oddity as spirituelle French
woman. Dancing and riding are their
only accomplishments.
The German gentlewoman's accom-.
plishments are of the domestic order ;
she is the reverse of intellectual and
possesses none of those graces of mind
that are feminine accomplishments in
the strictest sense OF the word.
Italian and Spanish women are dis
tinguished above all others of Europe
for their profound ignorance, due to
their incurable Incidence. They dc
not possess even the art or elegance Of
dress, and while the Spaniard has hel
artful fan and mantilla to delude
people into believing she is artistic,
the Italian has nothing but her chance
beauty.
The most accomplished and brilliant
of European women is the Russian.
who, besides vivacious temperament.
has q marvellous facility for acquiring
foreign languages and q power o:
adaptability that is wholly American,
But her attainments are invariably o.

The color known as "Napoleor
blue is said to have no connection

OF course, Russian sable is tn,
queen OF all furs. Il is very durable,

A fur called moulin is among tn,
most popular OF the inexpensive furs,
This is sort of sheepskin, and Will,
it is very durable, and some qualities
of it are rather pretty, it is too cheay
to be used with the more elegant furs
The general tendency is to discard
all stiff interlinings on the newest
gowns. This does very well wher'
one can afford a crisp tafeta silk liuins
in each new dress, but when this il
not possible not few women are pro
testing against the use of nothing but
soft.fnished percaline lining, will
no sort of interlining added even as
facing.
Genuine furs are extremely eypen

called imitation are worn, they are moi
particularly durable. nor are they s,

imitation OF seal is made from mink

and partly on account of it's lack o.
durability. While it bears close re
semblance to the best qualities of seal,
it is no longer, softer and finer, there

High.grade sealskin is, unquestionably
one of the richest furs ever employed

itself to lines and curves, making it
favorite with all lovers Of fine goods
