beautiful novelties found among black
goods this winter have tempted many
women TO purchase them who do not
find black at all becoming, but the adj

formed them into very satisfactory
gowns.
Efforts will be made to give the Vic

Fancy waists, separate waists, blouse
bodices and other pretty garments of
the kind, unlike the skirt, are as uni
versally popular as ever and every in
dication is that the coming spring will
show all the winter models and very
many additional and attractive styles
brought out in seasonable fabrics and
garnitures which will render them en-
tirely too fascinating to relinquish mere

general and familiar article of wear.

Another VARIETY.

Wethersby had dropped in to the
matinee to see the comedy. He was
seated alongside of pretty little five
year-old, who, like many beguiling in
nocents of that age, take advantage of
a paucity Of birthdays to make the ac-
quaintance of a good-looking young
man or any one else who happens to
suit their fancy, without the formality
of an introduction. Wethersby usually
found himself fearfully tangled after an
attempt to mix up with an infantile
conversation, but the violet blue that
peeped out from under the beautiful
dashed canopies and the innocent
smiles that We're lavished on him in
weighed him again.
I'm goin to see my gran'pa after
a WHILE" said the little miss, with the
characteristic bluntness that children
usually employ to open up converse
tons.
"Oh, you are, are your" said Weth-
ersby, with startling originality; and
trying to make his remarks COM
mensurate with infant understanding,
he added:
You like your grandpa, don't you?"
Yes, like him awful we'll; he tells
me stories"
well, you must always like your
grandpa" said he, with a mock pa
ternal air. Some day you'll be old
yourself, you know, and then you'll
want little girls to like YOU
The little maid smiled a sweet, be-
quilting smile, and Wetherby felt that
he was getting on famously.
Does your grandpa walk with a nice
big goldheaded cane, and does he have
long white hair and whiskers?"
How funny you talk, don't your
said the little girl, looking up in puz-
zled steadiness into Wethersby face.

Delicate and dainty tints and very
pronounced colors in evening dress ap-
pear to be about equally popular this
winter Oriental combinations appear
on stately and elegant full-dress gowns,
and these show in striking contrast be-
side the more refined and beautiful tot
let's formed of pure white, or a single
tint in pale rose, mauve, Dresden blue,
nuns grey, or soft apricot, with acces-
sories of creamy lace and RIBBONS
matching the gown.
Street, travelling, and indeed all sorts
of utility gowns, are made to clear the
ground all around, but house toilets at
all dressy in style are cut with grace
full demi-trafn-a fashion far more
suitable and appropriate for smart ar
tistic home wear, than any sort OF in
door gown with an abbreviated skirt.
There is very little flare on the front
and sides of these gowns; the effect Is
close and smooth over the hips, the full
ness being carried we'll to the back. A
narrow hair cloth facing is used to pre-
vent a limp effect just at the hem OF
the skirt, and this supports any sort
of trimming that may there be ar
ranged Some of the circular or modl-
fed bell shapes have single seam
down the back or else down the center
of the front, giving a mitred erect

1t seems no more than just to invelgh
against the insensate fur strings Whlch
mflliners are beginning TO attach TO
some of the handsome dress bonnets.
These narrow bands of fur are repeated
on the bonnet itself, the strings being
quite short, and fastened at the extreme
ends by a small jewel clasp or pin, just
below the chin The folly of this fash
ion lies in the risk of cold incurred
when the bonnet is removed, or changed
for another having ribbon strings, or,
perhaps. no strings at all. The throat
is an extremely susceptible part of the

after undue heating will surely be pro-
vocative of throat troubles, maladies
uncomfortable enough in their simplest
forms.

Miss Maud Come, by hereditary in
stinet and early education, should, you
might think, be among the very last
to espouse the cause Of the peasantry
of ireland as against the time honored
interests of the land-owning class. All
her early associations were Tory in their
sympathies, stanch in their advocacy
of the maintenance of the union with
England.
In spite of this however, she has
thrown herself into the Irish national
list movement with ardor enthusiasm
and sincerity. She has written the
following article for the Herald re-
lating the circumstances which led her
to devote her life, energies and wealth

On New Years Eve.

Ere yet the voice of the New Year
Rings clear Ger the snowfields white,

Poised as for upward flight
And bark. through the starry silence
His song floats down to me:
81 am come 70 take back to the Father.
What the Old Year hath given to thee -
My heart grows W: heavy though softly
/ have SO little to offer
IL response to the loving call:
No gems from the minds deep caverns,
No mighty bowlder rolled
From the path of truth, no message
On the future to be enscrolled.
Only tiny pebble
Brushed from a dear ones road
A whispered word of comfort
a sharing of the load:
A rebellious longing conquered,
A look with the love-fires warm
A flower of hope that blossomed
In the heart of a raging storm
These arc all that have to offer
To the mighty Lord of Love
And, with sorrowful eyes. show them
To His angel lowering above.
But 10. as / gaze on the angel
In those eyes that are bent on mine
I see neither scorn nor pity
But an infinite gladness shine.
20 foolish child and blndi
Thinkst thou that the all-wise Father
Cares more for the gems of the mind,
For the mighty bowlder, the message
That the future is to enscrol,
Than He does for the word of comfort
To a struggling. weary soul?
Nay rather-though these are most pre-
cious-
'rTis the Offering such as thine
That awakens the wondrous lovelight
In the depths of the eyes divine
The sharing of daily burdens
With their wearisome fret and smart,
The blessed everyday service
OF faithful loving heart

"Oh, that's only the name given that
