iavenders-all are delightful but of less
real service than the dressed kid.
I saw also an Innovation in slippers OF
black kid which came at s.. The body OF
the shoe was OF soft French kid with
cloth pieces inserted to produce contrast.
These were extremely chic.
Whatever you chose in the line OF
evening foot wear choose it of the best
quality. Cheaper affairs collapse soon
n are most u~nsightly at night. You
will have more real satisfaction out OF
one pair for which you pay from 81 to

"Harper's Bazaar says that for nfty
years woman in this country has owned
her own property, so that now there Is no
American. probably, who ever THINKS OF
q woman as a human being who parts
with all her possessions at her marriage.
Is is true that she may often surfenaef
her spiritual possessions, and IN soEle
parts of the country, where a CERTAIN un-
written law has been recently declared,
she may herself be SO far considered as
mere personally that her consent. other
wise her free will, plays no part IN the is
sue which her husband settles summar-
! lily, but her visible possessions are her
own; the money and lands that she brings
and ALI that she earns belong to her, and
the law gives her all the protection
against the wrongs of husband, as OF
others, of which human cradity is capable.
In England a married woman's property
act was passed in 1882. The Danish wom-
an has had the right to collect and to dis
| pose of the product of her toll since 1880.
| The Swedish woman since 1874, and the
Norwegian since 1855, nave had the same
property rights. Even the woman who is
| the subject OF the Tsar is the mistress of
her own. But in France the woman OF
the humber class who is married works
for the man, keeps her money only if he
will, and must give it TO him if there is
the best of reasons why she should be
permitted to withhold it-as, for example,
if he be an idle ~drunkard, spending for
his pleasures the earnings of the wife n
mother that are needed for the household.
Among the shoopkeeping bourgeoisie. the
woman works also alongside of the hus-
band, is often the real head of the estab-
lishment, especially in the little BUSH
nesses whose prosperity depends upon
good taste, patience, tact and unfailing
courtesy. And for the toll which knows
little rest, the possible maker of the fam
ily's prosperity receives what is granted
by the head of the house, whose temper
and Observation-Disclosures may possibly
prevent the wffe's achievement of a still
greater prosperity, involving a larger dot
and therefore a more shining marriage
for the daughter.
.Humor is the very sunshine of the
world" write Carrie E. Carrot in the
October seWoman's Home Companion"
Hardly any other single gift will go so
far to refresh and inspire one in every
day life and keep the heart still young.
1t steals merriIy across the wofkaday
world, animating the dreariest monotony
and finding place is the most hopeless
destiny. Such a gay travelling companion
is humor for the pilgrimage of life!
1.-THE woman with a sense of humor has
a safeguard against ennui, against folly
and against despair. She can never be
dull so long as the comedy of life is be-
ing played before her eyes; with a keen
sense of the ridiculous she is not likely to
make a fool of herself and she will never
be hopelessiy unhappy, for she will find
in the most adverse fate something still

your true alchemist. However it nay be
with the unrnusical person, surely the
surly Individual who cannot laugh spon-
taneousiy on occasions is fit for treasons,
strategems and spoils."
.But this blessed gift of humor should
be used to lift the shadows of life, not
to deepen them. A joke which causes
another pang of humiliation or makes
some sensitive heart ache is not only a
cruel sort of amusement, but 1t is-also
avery expensive Indulgence. For just a
moments qualification at having made a
hit the funny woman may forever lose
a friend, and may even arouse a very
genuine spirit of enmity. We learn to
forgive, and mayhap forget, many in
juries in life's troubled journey, but per-
haps among the wounds that rankle long
est in the human heart are those which
are made only in fun"

The latest in draperies is the italian
blankets, or, at least, the wide ones may
be called blankets. and they vary in
width from six inche to two yards. They
are woven in stripes, raw silks on a cot

liant and beautiful. They are designed
