A Dec,ded Innovation.

A decided innovation was made at the
recent dinner of the Fine Arts fedora
ton in New York in having ladies pres

due TO the fact that some women VINO

societies, and as such received invita-
tions. wrote to the dinner committee to
know eff any who were not men could
come" There being no valid reason for
a negative answer, the news spread rap
idly. and the result was that two long,
transverse tables on each side of the CEN
trail one which were set apart for wom-
en- and their escorts were soon filled,
and later corners of the fair sex over
flowed to the tables in the less impor-
tant side galleries. The innovation was
voted decided success, and as Che menu
bore the inscription, "Annual Dinner,

HER MIRROR.
4 Japan-,e Story Of Its Influence ON .
Motherless Girl.


Atty VI. c. A. hall Yeataso OEano,
a Japanese, told the following story to
large audience:
"Once upon time there lived III
little hamlet in Japan young couple.
They had one child-a beautiful little
girl whom both loved very dearly. 1t
came to pass while the child was still a
baby girl that the father was obliged to
take long journey to the far distant
CITY. 1t was too far for him to take his
wife and child, so he left them at home
and travelled alone.
"In that great city he saw many new
things which, having lived in the peace
full little hamlet up among the noun
tains all his life, he had never seen be-
fore. He desired to take home to his
wife some Of these new things which
seemed to him so wonderful. And the
most wonderful gift he could take, it
seemed to him, was mirror. He wish
ed to take home to his wife the pleasure
and surprise he had experienced when
he first looked into mirror SO he took
one home to his wife.
"When he arrived home he gave the
present to his wife, and for the first
time she looked into mirror. What
do you see?' her husband asked. She
replied: Il declare! / see very pretty
woman She wears her hair just as do
mine. and she smiles and moves her
lips as if she were talking to me. Her
husband told her that the mirror was
present for her, and he hoped she would
use it every day. But the wife thought
it far too beautiful and rare and costly
a gift to use every day, so she put 1t
carefully away and never spoke about 1t
to the little daughter, who grew more
beautiful and more like her mother ev-
cry day.
"By and by a great misfortune fell
upon that little household. The wife
and mother fell sick, and it was soon
evident that she must die. AS she lay
upon her deathbed she called her little
daughter to her and told her that she
was going to lose her mother forever.
= She could point to no future life after
death in which they should be reunited,
but in the love and simplicity OF hel
heart she did the best she could. She
; told her little daughter about the won
: derful mirror. After / am dead, she

colors TO be used together in different
shades should not omit gray. Shades
Of gray of light and dark tints always
blend with excellent effect and, while
not so warm looking as brown, 1T is still
a most refined color, useful for some
purposes for which the most carefully
chosen brown would not do. Quite a
novel result has been obtained this sea-
son by trimming some of the grays with
brown in the way of velvet or fur.
The newest and prettiest OF the out
door gowns for spring were shown me
today. Among them l found one ele-
plant gray broadcloth with a smooth,
plain skirt. The waist was plain, both
back and front, and was quite round at

each / - inches wide, at the waist In
form of girdle. There was medlcl

taffeta. This was carried down the back

front to the belt in that of novel revers

under portion was snug waist, ending
at the belt under a fold Of olive green
velvet. There were close sleeves reach

Craving Miniature Trees.

It is vastly interesting to experiment
with an acorn and study its possibilities
as an attractive window garden plant.
One of the most popular methods OF
starting il into growth is to suspend 1t ny
a piece of thread within half an inch OF
the surface of some water contained IN
a hyacinth glass. ltshould be permitted
to remain suspended in this manner
without being disturbed, and after Il
time it will burst and throw root INTO
the water and shoot upward It's straight
and tapering stem, with beautiful little
green leaves. A young oak tree growing
in this manner in the window is very
interesting object. Several oak trees and
also chestnut tree have been noticed
growing thus but they are liable to die
after a few months, probably owing &c
the fact that the water is not changed
often enough to afford them the neces
sary quantity of nourishment from th'
matter contained in it, but the lnteres
displayed in the short lived little trees
is we'll worth the trouble OF experiment
