There is almost as wide a diver

for their mammas. After due con-
sideratiOn of this bewildering as
sortment, however, the conclusion
arrived at is that for children from
the age of to II there is nothing
more picturesque and at the same
time convenient and comfortable
than the sailor dress. Fortunately
there need be no obtrusive same
ness, as these dresses can be varied
greatly in color and design.
Ribbon is utilized in a thousand
pretty ways in decorating gowns for
both street and house wear. All
varieties, velvet, taffeta, Louisine,
satin, fancy or plain and in all
widths are brought into requisition,

Both circular and gored skirts are

A Human Gift.

Nothing on earth can smile but
the race of man. Gems may flash
reflected light, but what is a dia-
mOnd flash compared with an eye
flash. Flowers cannot smile. This
is charm which even they cannot
claim. Birds cannot smile nor any
living thing. 1t is just the preroga-
tive of man. 1t is the light in the
window of the face by which the
heart signals to father that a friend
is at home waiting. A face that
cannot smile is like bud that can
not blossom, and dies upon the stalk
Laughter is day, and sobriety is
night; and smile is the twilight
that hovers between both, and is
more bewitching than either.

Livable Homes.

The Decorator and Furnisher says:
1.-THE stiffness has gone from our
drawing-rOoms and receptiOn-rooms.
This is even more apparent in the
apartments devoted to home rather
than to social usages.
while the influence of French
style has had much to do with the
tasteful fittings of our homes, for
the solid comforts combined with
good taste we have England to
thank in very great measure, as
any one who has been so fortunate
as to visit her beautiful country
homes will testify.
From England comes the modern
cOzy corner. This came into eXis-
tence, not only through love of
their aesthetic qualities, but through
a natural liking for cozy, comfort
able surroundings as well, which
seems to be inbred in that home
loving race from which we spring.
TO make home comfortable, cheer
ing, encouraging, to home influences
and surrOunding-in a word, livable
is to make it attractive. To make
it homelike we must attend not only
to the absolutely necessary furnish
ings, but we must look to it that
every available corner has its in
dividuality.
"There is, of course, danger of
OVERRIDING and lapsing into "fussi-
ness" but good common sense will
come into play, of course, to avoid
this. Another strong factor in
bringing about this "livable''
quality is worthy of attention-that
is, let nothing look too good or tee
"fussy" for use. No one takes COM
fort on a couch all kinks and fur
bellows" the pillows arranged in
stiff, systematic order"

How Brain Workers Should Eat.

You may flatter yourself that
your ability to think clearly and
