To us in America 1t is hard for us to

with the present issue the Herald
presents to its readers the first of a
series of weekly articles on the ever
changing fashions, taken not as hereto
fore by various American journals at
second, third or fourth hand and from
variety of sources, but direct from the
great European authorities whose word
in this connection is law. Not, in fact,
the styles which have already become
known as correct, but the styles which
will be correct.
1t is the first time that this has been
accomplished by an American newspa-
per. The court modelers of Europe
have always been recognized as the
prime ministers of fashion. from whose
word there is no appeal, but it has been
a part Of their policy to conceal from the
world at large their new designs until
the opening of the season. 1t has been
the practice of American newspapers to
publish the new fashions as soon as pos
sible after their appearance abroad, but
this at best was unsatisfactory. For
the care of the great costumers to con-
ceal their new ideas until the regular
opening-May 8 and September S-has
been successful, and the descriptions
of new gowns printed in American pub
locations have without exception been
from hearsay and guesswork The
American season opens earlier than the
European, and as result 1t has proved
a necessity for American costumers to
adopt the designs of the previous Euro
pean season.
This is no longer necessary. BY ar
rangements which have been made with
the court modelers the Herald is enable
to print exclusively for Los Angeles the
designs for the coming European sea-
son. The descriptions are obtained from
the designers themselves and are certi-
fed to by the signatures Of the ones who
furnish the descriptions. The articles

A Brave nother

She was careful mother. The family
of children had been we'll brought up.
but they were rather fastidious in some
things. and hard times had made 1t diff
cult to please everybody. However, the
good soul always insisted upon the plate
of porridge and milk every morning for
breakfast as good commencement for
the day. Other food might fail, but she
managed to provide the jug of fresh
milk. out of her limited means. and the
boys and girls of that household thrived.
though commons were often short But
one morning the mother happened to
Look into her jug after she divided the
precious quart among her offspring Her
own thimbleful lay at the bottom, and
In the milk destined for the plateful of
porridge in front Of her was a great ugly
cockroach-an exageretion of the ordin-
ary roach. It seemed to her disgusted
vision.
Here was a dilemma! How on earth
was she to find another jugfui of milk?
Meanwhile the children we've enjoying
their porridge. They tasted nothing
amiss in the morning mess; and, indeed,
when asked. the eldest boy thought that
his porridge tasted better than he had
known 1t for a long time. Could she sac
rifice a good breakfast under the cir
eumstances? For not a child would eat
another spoonful If the horror was re-
vealed. 1t was puzzle. Yet to keep
silence. and not to drink the milk her
self. meant that the distressed mother
would have curious eyes upon her, and
that would never do. So. at last, In des-
peration, rather than send the children
away hungry. she poured out the re-
mainder Of the precious fluid as II moth
ing were the matter, taking care to keep
the disgusting insect at the bottom of
the jug, andthen withSan inward prayer
for strength, she proceeded to eat. The
meal ended in due course. but the secret
remained undiscovered. Everybody en-
joyed the morning porridge except the
mother. There is heroism and heroism

WORTH WHILE

'Tis easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows along like song:
But the man worth while Is the one who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test Of the heart is trouble,
And 1t always comes with the years.
And the smile that is worth the praise Of
earth
Is the emile that comes through the tears
1t Is easy enough to be prudent,
When nothing tempts you to stray:
When without or within nc voice of sin
Is Turing your soul away:
But it's only negative virtue
Until 1t Is tried by fire.
And the life that Is worth the honor of
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
But the cynic, the sad. the fallen
Who had no strength for the strife,
Tho worLAs highway Is numbered to-day;
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides In q SMILE
It is these that are worth the homage Of
For We md them but once in while.

Heard and Seem

Il was calling at large Fifth avenue
house the other evening"" said a young
society man, when, as the outside door
was opened, heard the sound of music
leading me to think there must be some
kind of entertainment going on. There
is company? ! asked the butler. oh
no., he replied, but as entered the hall
l could hear distinctly the music of a
band. I did not care to blunder into Il
company to which I was not invited.
You are sure?' I asked again Yes,
Sir said the butler; Mrs. Blank felt like
music tonight and sent for a band to
play through the dinner"
She was entering the train, and as
she passed through the car to her seat
she brushed by a woman whose face was
strangely familiar. Where.had she seen
her before? She could not tell, and yet
the familiarity was remarkable. The
stranger also appeared impressed. She
hesitated, looked puzzled, and then
passed on. Where have I seen that
face" said the first woman as she took
her seat beside friend. The friend was
in ccnvulsions of laughter I'm your
mirror, my dear" she answered. '"That
woman looks enough like you to be your

A Lost Diamond

"A Glasgow lady has had a singular
experience. About the beginning of
November las she paid hurried visit
to her business premises. and while
there lost the diamond from a favorite
ring. Search was made everywhere for
the precious stone. The shop was given
an extra sweep, the dust placed in
hair" sieve and washed, but not a trace
of the lost Jewel was got. Concluding
that the diamond was gone for good. the
ring was reset and the loss almost for
gotten, when the owners daughter. who
had accompanied her to the shop on the
occasion, remarked: Mother, there is
something in the heel of my right boot
which catches the carpet every step 1
take" "See what it is" was the reply,
and there, firmly imbedded in the solid
leather, was the missing diamond. Sin
gularly enough, during the past two
months the young lady had been in the
country and walked over the hard ma
cadamized roads. Diamond, in no way
injured, and boot heel are to join the
heirlooms Of the family.--Adelaide

walnut Lore.
From Lipnlncott,s Magazine.

From LippincottS Magazine.
'I will put one of these walnuts into
my pocket" said a gentleman who was
sitting beside me at dinner the other day.
lie seemed to think an explanation was
necessary, and so he added: II carry a
walnut about in my pocket to prevent my
rheumatism"
l had heard a great many queer cures
for rheumatism, but here was a brand
new one-a walnut! know a gentleman
who carries a small potato in his pocket
as a preventive of rheumatism. He says
that he does not know whether it is
foolish thing or not, but on several occa-
sions when he left his potato at home he
really felt twinges Of rheumatism.
In New England many folk used to tie
snake-skin round the neck for "rheu-mat-
icks," while in Georgia, and generally
through the south. the negroes and even
the whites carry the right forefoot Of a
rabbit to ward off attacks of rheumatism
All this passed through my mind while |

where it was known to work. l tell you
there is really something in it,"
Indeed, there is more in walnut lore
than is dreamt of in my neighbours phi
losophy. The use of the walnut for rheu-
matism-however whimsical such prac-
tice may seem nowadays-is a relic of
those Old supersttious notions which, I'M
der one form or another, have clustered
round the tree. These notions run back
to pagan days.
The Romans regarded the walnut as the
symbol of fruitfulness; it was consecrated
to Venus. and played an important part
in weddings
