ehangel cher abode. she transferred her
patronage from one branch 10 another
Nothing in the world would ave induced
her to try another baker.
A few days ago this worthy customer
was talking to a little girl in her Lenten
mission class. She asked the child what
her fathers trade was. "|He's a baker,
said the small girl. HE makes rolls
for Crisp
You mean he is one Of crisp's bak-
ers?"
mo. ma'am. He's got a shop of his
own. but he sends French rolls to Crispss
everyimornidg..'
ZANE my father is a baker, too. He
bakes Crisp's erumpets,' spoke up an
other urchin.
The woman's faith in Crisp's peculiar
and particular way of baking rolls in
duced her to take the trouble to hunt up
the two shops and verify the children's
stories by sitting down in the dingy in
teriors and eating genuine Crisp's
crumpets and rolls.
There is an evening cloak in this town
that is exceedingly pretty. 1t is made
from a carnels hair shawl. An heirloom.
of course. and priceless, as far as the
wearer is concerned. , The design is the.
far-famed one of palm leaves, and the
colors as dull and delightful as Indian
looms know how to weave, and Persian
weavers to dye. 1t is cut circular and
lined with turquoise blue silk. On the
shoulders is a pleated cape of the silk
and q high storm collar of blue silk
overlaid with lace.
The idea is an excellent one for for
tunate women who possess such charm
ing trifes In their wardrobe as indian
shawls.
One objection there is to this cloak.
1t seemed a mistake to put blue-such
brilliant blue-on it. 1t would make the
Oriental dyer shiver, for he knows full
weM that the beauty of his computations,
the fame of them, is the itoning together
of queer dulled shades.

Just now. says the sLady's Pictorial
the literary world is full of fiction pictur-
ing the life that Europeans lead beyond
the limits of civilization. Perhaps Mr..
Conrad set the fashion. But fact is not
tagging behind the novel. In Cumber-
land Sound is a British subject who, sent
out nearly thirty years since as a com
mercial agent, has married ar Esquimo
lady and found. so we are told, a con
tentment hat does not always grace the
habitat of the millionaire. Lord Dufferin,
by the way, tells a funny story of a lady
who volunteered to go ont to Hudson's
Bay territory as the wife of a missionary.
When she got there her heart failed her.
But on the ships captain remaining OBJ
durate to her appeals and mentioning
something horrible COMMUNICATING the
vessel, the lady was forced to land, the
missionary himself performing the cere-
mony of marriage, and, according to the
Marques, the two '1ived happily ever
after"
Don't put borders on carpets for small
rooms.
Don't hang chandeliers or lamps in low
ceiled rooms.
Don't be chary of rich. warm tints in

Don't believe for a moment that expen-

daily use.
Don't buy chairs tina are not well
made and comfortable or lounges that
are not low and broad.
So
MANY of our gossips, says the London

| Japan as some politicians picture France:
| That is, as pretty and pert, and not to pc

atlantic Monthly to show to Western
minds japanese women as they are. IN
a word, they are the best part OF ia

| Mitsukuri is gentle, graceful, beautlful
| and self-sacrificing; as mistress IN the
household she has quite an occidental au-
thorjty; as a mother she is her children's
| idol; in society she is respected.
A certain Lenten class devoted to gen
