In an article on the care Of libraries,
we find these valuable suggestions: The
real book-lover, the man who has reached
a point Of culture which distinguishes
between taste and vulgarity in the man
ufacture Of books, will not need to be
told that leaves must be cut with
proper knife. preferably of ivory, and
cut through to the corners; that not the
title-page, but the blank fiy-leaf, is the
place for the owners name; that books
must not be left lying open face down.
wards; that they are not card-racks,
crumb- baskets, or receptacles for flowers
and dead leaves; that they should not
be busted by slapping them together;
that they should be kept on shelves, not
left lying about on tables. Here, from
the same article is also a little hint TO
parents touching the matter Of teaching
their children how to treat books:
Unless one is instructed early in life in
the care Of books he remains hopeless
Phllistlne to the end Of his days. The
old savage instinct is sure to break out.
In moments Of primeyal impulse he may
break q bin.ing or dog-ear leaf.

4 MERGED WOMAN.

Mrs. Theophilus Brown, of Newcastle, North Carolina, was Miss Mary Jones
 a week ago, and she is just as sure to see the day that she will wish she had stayed Miss Mary Jones as she is that her name is Mrs. Theophilus Brown. Why, doth the gentle reader ask? Because she has begun wrong in being Mrs. Theophilus Brown. It will be easy for anybody who reads her story to "see her finish" She got all ready to be married the other day. The wed- ding was to be "a quiet home wedding at the residence of the brides parents" The residence was swept and garn- ished. "Those present were present. The '.happy bride" had her veil on, all ready to be led like lamb to the sac rifice. The minister was there to do
 his part. But the groom, oh where was he? We'll, he was somewhere else. There was an awkward silence, and then there was some awkward speech. Finally "those present" took them selves away, and thus became those ab- sent. Miss Mary Jones bore up we'll and at last intimated that she knew what the trouble was. It soon be- came plain that she did. Two days af- terward MT. Theophilus Brown brought himself before Miss Mary Jones and calmly yet forcibly said: well, I'm
 here.'' Miss Mary Jones' seeing he had spoken the truth, took him apart. The gentle reader must not understand by | this that she took him apart as she would have been amply justified in do- ing. She only took him ''one side. |" She talked to him in low and earnest tones, and he talked to her in the same kind of tones. Then the minister was sent for and the two were made | one. and there is no doubt just now as | to which one.
 Those who were so fortunate as to
 be present at the reunion saw with
 astonishment that MT. Theophilus
 Brown wore tan shoes and a buff neck tie, and they soon discovered that the | tan shoes and the buff necktie were the
 serpent in the Eden that had been de-
 nominated two days before. It appear
 ed that Brother Brown had been told
 by Miss Mary Jones that he couldn't be
 married to her in tan shoes and any
 other tie than black one. She thought
 he loved her enough to do ''the proper
 thing" and she felt sure that he would
 come to the wedding in right mint
 and in right clothes. But he didn't
 and so she finally concluded to become Miss Theophilus Brown, regardless O

THE CROWN OF THE YEap

Nike didn't get a chance to perch at Soldiers field Saturday, and we have faith to believe that tired of flying as she was she would have been still more tired had she been obliged to perch on "Fair Harvard's' standard. But it was a great game, and Yale came out of it
 in good shape for the battle of next
 Saturday in this city. To be a seat of learning and seat of football in the
 same week will be honor enough for New Haven, and anybody can be safe
 in betting his boots that the double
 honor is appreciated by all who know
 what's what. It will be hard for those
 who are lucky enough to get tickets to
 wait until Saturday, but their waiting
 will be joy compared to the feelings of the unlucky ones who will not be able to see a sight that will lay way over Commencement or the meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for
 Foreign Missions. But all can read  about it, and those who can only read about it needn't be afraid of getting pneumonia from the windy reports Some of those who are privileged to see
 the fight may not be so fortunate, but who would shrink from pneumonia where football is concerned? Nobody who knows beans or is beans.
 Let us all "root' for Yale all this aspiration and ambition that it will have stimulating effect on our god like representatives. Football forever and the blue above the orange and black!

plain skirt, it's jaunty blouse had a lapel of tucked light green silk banded with dark green velvet ribbon, the out CT, wired collar having similar finish. Belt and basque lining were the light silk.
 In connection with the current favor for plaids it is whispered-and some times a favoring puff of wind gives proof-that tartan stockings in silk, lisle and wool are being worn by the women who in winter don buttoned shoes. These stockings are so pretty that the sale of button boots is rising wonderfully, and are expensive, but they come only in the best quality, which means that they wash and wear well. If women wear them all winter, by spring they will be braver and wear them with their low shoes. Some of the darker blue and green plaids are almost as inconspicuous as plain col ors, and worn with a patent leather slipper, especially the slipper that has little patent leather strap that cross es the instep, the effect of such stock ing is distinctly pretty. It is time for change about the style of our stock ings, and this change is the first one that seems practical among all those suggested recently.
 Tartan is used for Things and facings with charming effect, and is put into travelling rolls into which to put shawl book and toilet box. A few umbrellas are shown at some of the swell stores encased In tartan covers. They look ! dashing when in the cover, and, being themselves plain, are not unduly con, spicuous when unfurled, while the tar tan cover ties about the handle in a cheery bit of color. Tartan ribbon fol throat tying and for stocks is also seen and Roman stripe combined with tar. l tan plain made into sash width ribbor
