No woman who has once seen them
treated in this new manner will ever
leave small pictures of any description
hidden in albums and portfolios.
In framing them, an expert advises fol-
lowing a rule which is observed in the
making up of magazine Illustrations
that of growing to the right" RMS
means simply that darker and larger PIC
lures are arranged on the right hama
side OF the frame, SO as to produce a
species of climax; since the eye in travel
ing takes naturally this direction.
Here are a few hints towards the best
selection of frames. Engravdngs, pnoto-
gravures and many etchings require fra
ming in oak or ash, with cream tinted
mats. Photographs of all oil paintings,
and particularly those of the old masters,
look well framed in fat mouldings of
oak. Occasionally gliding of the wood
further brings out the picture.
Oil paintings require gilt frames, the
| selection of hic depends, of course,
upon the tone and character of the paint
ing. Some water colors look especially
| dainty in gilt. and some require both gilt

| their good points. The pretty colored
| plates issued now and then with various
| magazines can be made to resemble orig

narrow square or oval of gilt and a sheet
of thin glass.
Some etchings and some etchings and
some water color sketches look nen IN
narrow frames. But white is used at

some few years ago.
All varieties of small sketches are now
framed in this way. But in no case are
the varieties mingled. Photos with pho
tos, etching to etching, w~ater5color and
water color. All are kept distinct. More
over, they should be of sizes which look
well together if the same size cannot be
secured.
Miss Lillian Bell, who is narrating her
impressions of the Old World and its peo-
pie for the Ladies' Home Journal, writes
from London, in the November issue OF
that magazine: 81 lave seen the Houses
of Parliament and the Tower and West
minister Abbey, and the Worlds Fair, but
the most impressive sight 1 ever beheld is
the appraised hand of a London policeman.
1 never heard one of them speak except
when spoken to. But let one little blue
coated man raise his forefinger and every
vehicle on wheels stops, and stops in
stantly; stops in obedience to law and
ORDER; stops without swearing or gesticu-
lating or abuse; stops with no under
handed trying to drive out of line and
get by on the other side; just stops, that
is the end of it. And why? Because the
Queen of England is behind that raised
finger. Why, a London policeman has
more power than our President. Even
the Queens coachmen obey that fore
finger Understanding. nov to obey, that
is what makes liberty.
ST am the most fl~amboyant of Ameri-
cans, the most hopelessly addicted to my
own country, but / must admit that ] had
my first real taste of liberty in England.
I will tell you why. In America nobody
obeys anybody. We make Dur laws, and
then most industriously set about study
ing out a plan by which We may eyade
them. America is suffering, as all repub-
lies must of necessity suffer, from liberty
in the hands of the multitude. The null
titude are ignorant, and liberty in the
hands of the ignorant is always license"

How different women's interests are
now compared to what they were when
I was a young woman" said a charming
and clever woman at a recent meeting of
a woman's club. When 1 was young
1 can remember that the sole subject of
conversation when two women met at
this time of the year was either winter
clothes or the putting up of stoves. 1t
nouQr SQQnp6 IN npP11r To 1S tn talk a hOI1f
current political topics, the latest book
or ever the latest murder. We were
wrapped up mentally, morally and ply
sically in household cares, nursery wor-
ries and saEtorial problems.
Now, when two women meet after the
summer vacation, they discuss the vic
tories or defeats of rival golf clubs, the
rowing matches of their sons respective
Alma Mater, the entrance examinations
of their girls at college, and above all,
the Recognizing of club work and the
papers and topics to be discussed the
coming winter.
81 think this difference discernible in
the conversation of women is symbolic
of the broadening and elevating effect
that women's clubs are having upon wo-
mems minds. 1t is not necessary to de-

in order to keep abreast with the times.
Children are reared, dresses are bought
and stoves are put up now, just as they
were twenty years ago, but we don't talk
so much about them. We are cultivating
other interests and rounding our charac-
tiers as well as developing our intellects."
According to a French paper, perfume
has character. Violet, which as a lower
is noted for retiring modesty, is thought
to suggest, when used as a 1 perfume,
great coquetry. 1t is faint and delicate,
but elusive, i~nsinuating, leading the I'M
wary on to seek the object which is so
i%nvftingly embalmed. Orchid scent be-
longs to the true Partisan, while reseda
is given up to the stately matron. For
young girls nothing is more appropriate
than new-mown hay. Lilac belongs to the
innocent one, the ingenue, who thus her
aids her coming. White rose is for loves
young dream, and the superb Marechal
Mel declares the presence of regrets and
memories.
Evidently the d~ressrnakers will not now
have such trouble in stitching on yards
of ribbon as a finish to skirts. as they
had in the spring. The new materials
