Another foulard model shows insertions OF
white lace set in the skirt above the Spanish

Is a point in skirt-making which will be more

Very recently there has been wills
per in the air that we are to have the
styles in vogue when Queen Victoria
began her reign. Poke bonnets are GER
tainly in evidence, but few except the
prettiest and roundest of faces look we'll
In them. Today street costume was
shown that fortunately cannot have
long season of popularity for the reason
that it is trimmed with fur. but it is
very old fashioned, and more than one
lady looked at it in real admiration
The dress was cut in princess shape
and had four rows of beaver fur around
the bottom about four inches apart.
The dress was of rush green peau de
sole of the richest quality. The sleeves
were tight to the wrists and bordered
with fur. There was stiff threefold
pelerine, each fold being bordered with
fur. The long tabs to this hung nearly
to the foot of the dress and were bor-
dered with fur and lined with tan col
ored satin. All this is odd enough and
old enough, but to have carried out the
full design the modiste would have
been obliged to have fat collar or at
the utmost a narrow band of fur She
adapted" the high medici collar TO
the gown by bordering the scallops with
fur and twisting long piece of white
lace into sort of cravat and making a
Topped bow with ends below the waist.
The whole costume is so redolent of the
early days of the queens reign that 1t

the courageous wearer eye it askance.

and vests are all rivals in way, and

yet very becoming.

CAUSE FOR REJOICING.

Mary Kyle Dallas on Duties and Respon-
sibilities.
"Thank heaven" says great writer,
eff every day when you open your eyes
in the morning you remember that
there is something that you must do
whether you wish to do it or not. -
According to this rule there should
be very many thankful people in the
world, including all factory hands and
all laborers, car conductors and brake
men and the men who dig for dusky
diamonds in the depths OF the coal
mines.
The great majority have immense
reason for rejoicing, and happy indeed
should be the mother whose crying ba-
by has kept her awake all night and
who must nevertheless rise to get break
fast and wash dishes and send the chill
dren off to school and continue the
grind all day long until night falls and
the little treasure who has been Sleep
ing all day bawls to be walked with
once more.
In q general way it is much the best
for people to have duties and response
bilities, but / doubt IT 1t is possible Tor
mortal man or woman not to desire a
holiday now and then. TO know there
is something you must do whether you
like TO do it or not may be excellent
discipline, but if you dislike the doing
of it very much doubt If you can be
as thankful as you ought to be over the
fact that you must do it.
Pleasant and useful work. agreeable
duties, are certainly to be rejoiced over
| To be useless and slothful is bad for the
soul, but those who pen these bits OF
good advice forget that to the majority
| of men life is all labor and duty. with
no prospect of anything better while
life lasts.
| The elegant folk who thank heaven
| that there is something to occupy the
mind and pass the time are after all the
very small minority

He WAS TOO SMART.
The Experience Of Countryman with
London Confidence Men.

London has its confidence men. who
ere quite as expert as Americas, saws
writer in the Boston Herald. Their
methods are very similar 1t is not
worth while to record their routine oper-
ations, but one recent instance, as illus
tratiye OF their resources, is amusing
and instructive. An old Scotch travel
ing man, who bcro somewhat tho an
pearance OF a countryman, but who
knew the ropes perfectly, was accosted.
He decided to have some fun at the ex-
pense Of the would be swindlers, so he
pretended TO fall readily in with their
statements-to be IA particularly easy
victim They bought him a splendid
dinner, calling him Mr. Kenny Of Dun
dee--a name which they had caught
from u travelling bag which he had bor-
rowed from friend He enjoyed their
hospitality hugely, and ate prodigiously
and extensively. They paid the bill and
began the usual talk about q lottery
prize, etc. Then he saw it was about
time to leap their game. Said he:
Gentlemen, l thank you for the din
ner. 1t was very good, and have had q
very pleasant time with you But
won't go to sec you draw your lottery
prize. Oh, no! know all about the lot
terry prize. My name is not Donald
Kenny. 1t is Robert Ferguson, and I'm
not from Dundee, bat from Lochnoven,
where I've lived with my daughter for
90 years. ! am too old fish to be
caught. Good night"
And he went his way rejoicing.
| Two weeks later, when he went home
to his daughter in Lochnoven, one of the
first things she said to him was:
"Did you get the $50 all right?"
| "What e20?"
"Why, the eco you telegraphed for. -
And it developed that the confidence
men whom he had beaten at their own
game had an ace up their sleeves, which
they played after he had left them.

HE KEPT THE CHECK.
THURMAN Green Morris Was Too Cunning
Tor the Banks.

With so many bank robberies all
around us it is not surprising that there
should be some uneasiness among deposit
tors. In general, however, the New
Yorker has clear head. He has faith in
the Clearing House association, because
he really does not quite understand the
mystery of it, and he believes in his
bank through thick and thin because he
has seen the banks of the city stand to-
gether in support of a weakened institu-
ton. / am reminded of what happened
TO Green Morris, the turfman, who lived
in Brooklyn and raced horses on all the
tracks of the metropolitan circuit. He
had q big year of winnings at Monmouth
park, and received at the end of the sea-
son check from the association for
$67, 000 Eighteen months later he
showed that check to me, considerably
worn.
"Why, Green" said reproachfully,
"this check is 10 months old. What dc
you mean by keeping it so long? Ii Is
nearly worn out. Don't you know that
O check should be deposited at once Oh
cashed? Suppose the bank was to fail!
