 Bonnie, tired of playing on the kitoh- on floor. shortly after his mother left opened door leading into the baok yard, with tho intention of going out there to play. A sudden puff of wind from the open door caught the curtains at Q window near lighted gasoline stove. and in m instant they were ig- nited. Tho frightened child looked back and in a moment saw the entire wall blazing with fire. He then remembered tho oft repeated warnings from his fA- ther about fire and started for the side door with the intention of escaping into tho street. The door was looked, but he quickly found tho key, unlocked tho door md run out into tho street. And then, out in the clear air. free from the smoke and flame, he commenced to think. His little sister was in there, and the flames were creeping closer and closer.
 He hesitated not an instant, butstart- cd to enter the house once more. He was met by a cloud of flame and smoke at the door. Not for moment did hq falter. but plunged in headlong, with only one thought in his mind, and that his little baby sister. He groped his way to the center of the room through the stifling air and found her sitting on the floor, crying softly in Q frightened way. He placed his arms around her and. hai1 carrying, half dragging. brought hex to tho door and then out into the open ai1 and left her safe in the street.
 He did not consider his duty perform ed yet, however, and started for neigh bor's house. crying at the top of his voice: Fire Fire Papa's house is burn ing upI" The entire neighborhood was quickly aroused, and. with the aid of tbe ire company, which appeared on tho scene shortly, the flames were extin- guished.

Tho Rain Skir.f,.

In reference to the rain skirt I would like to suggest an idea. have just re- turned from m extensive trip abroad and haye very much admired the way ladies manage over there. Of course it is very unpleasant to drag long dress through the streets in rainy weather, but at the same time it is hard to dress always according to the weather. You may go shopping in your rain costume, but after q few hours it clears, the streets arc dry and clean, and then, of course, it doesn't look we'll to walk about i'll short skirts.
 In Europe ladies hnyo their atroet cos tunes arranged so that with ono pull or with two buttons they can change their ordinary skirts to tho desired length. II looks neat. nioo evon. And should the rain stop they drop their skirts to the usu. al length by simply undoing one button or one string.
 Dressmakers put this arrangement in to all street dresses, and oven the ready made ones generally haye it. Would you not suggest tho idea and let the ladies sec how they like it?-Letter in New York Herald.

New Style of Dressing the Hair.

Writing on dressing the hair, Isabel A. Mallon, in Ladies' Home Journal, says that "a pretty and absolutely new coiffure is the one that, while it rather gives the blouse effect, really consists of three deep waves that turn back and which arc of course made by the iron At the back the hair is arranged in a double eight twist that shows we'll at the sides, but does not rise above the top of the head. Women who have very little hair can tie it close to the head, fasten tho switck on by string drawn through it's loop, which is the best way. and then, pinning down their own hair close to the head, arrange the switch to form the double eight. Elderly ladies, especially those whose hair has grown entirely white, wear it oftenest in a pompadour roll, which requires q small pad under it, and then in the back have a plaited switch carefully pinned to the hair in looplike fashion. Many ladies who have reached middle ago or passed it adhere to the coiffure selected as be- coming when they were young, and il must be confessed that there is q certain dignity about this '

4 Two.thirds Vote In Idnho.

State No. has wheeled into line for woman suffrage.
 An unexampled victory for woman suffrage has been achieved in the state of Idaho. Hitherto suffragists have only sought 10 attain for woman suffrage constitutional amendments tho custom ary majority of votoB for the question, whereby amendments of state constitu- tions are usually adopted. But in Idaho, on Nov. 8, more than two-thirds of tho votes cast on the question were recorded for woman suffrage.
 And yet 1t is claimed by tho oppo- nents of woman suffrage that by a pe- culiar wording of tho suffrage clause of the Idaho state constitution two-thirds of all the votes cast at Q general election arc needed, and that these not having been given for suffrage tho amendment is lost
 Such q provision was never intended by the men who voted for the new con- stitution. It would be unjust, unusual, undemooratio and unrepublioan. We dc not believe that tho supreme court o1 Idaho will so interpret the state oonsti. tuition. Any such provision, if it exist was fraudulently framed for tho express purpose of perpetuating the disfranohise ment of women and was never under stood or intended by the voters of Idaho Boston Woman 8 Journal

Russian School Gardens.

Over in Russia many of tho schools have connected with them small gar dens, orchards or grape arbors, in which the boys and girls are taught to work. Each day the sehoolmaster, who has charge of the garden, takes his pupils out and teaches them how to plant, hoe. rake and reap In the south of Russia, where the country Is almost treeiess. the children learn how to set out trees and what tho best kinds arc, and in some provinces there is a complete silk worm colony in each school, md the pu- pills watch the wonderful little silkmak.

Lecturing as a nusIness.

A young girl who happened to know great deal about a certain country in Europe decided last winter that she would try at an entertainment given for a charitable purpose to tell her friends what she knew and sec how they enjoy ea II. The experiment. was success such success that after awhile she was asked to repeat 1t oftener than she had time to. So she decided 10 ask $25 for the evening, and she got it without any difficulty. Her profits during the season were enough to enable her to go to Flu rope and have 0 number of photographs of the country taken to be used in her lecture. This winter as soon IS the sea- son commenced there was another de- mand for her lectures, and it was enough to justify her in asking Sl00 for the en- tertainment. At that rate she got as many engagements as sine could fill. She is pretty girl, with an engaging man. nor, and her lecture consists in reality of nothing more than series of anee- dotes agreeably told. Her engagements arc usually to lecture before women 'e clubs or societies of some kind, and the occupation is free from all the unpleas- ant features of some phases of profes. sional life. She began tho work as an experiment. and her success shows how unexpectedly a woman may find employ. ment of an agreeable and profitable kind. Nov York Sun.

Among minor modes we sec that, in place of the huge white sailor collars worn last summer, fashion now affects the spreading collarette that is out i'll one, with faring medici that stands out pioturesquely around tho face. The storm collar, which is straighter, is also still in fashion, al.d this can be brought up snugly as protection against wind or cold and allowed to fall when not ol duty. A collar of this sort, if wei stiffened and of course we'll shaped gives very smart appearance to tht garment it finishes. and the quantity oi handsome fur required for it is less thar might be supposed Here again is al opportunity for utilizing remnants oi fur and turning them to excellent ac count

Table Decorations.

No longer are tall Towering plants used for decorating the table. Instead there are low dishes tastefully arranged with choice flowers and delicate trailing plants, mingled with appropriate leaves and moses. Another pretty way to ar range flowers for the table is to fill a low dish with small blocks of ice and sweet smelling buds and blossoms.
