gave picnic at the opening OF the 10
hannesburS waterworss he related al
incident that had happened to him in
London some time before, a soedy look
ing man, describing himself as Il Jour-
nalist, called Oh him one day and offered
to cut out from papers, etc, all the
complimentary things said about Mr.
Barnato. The genial man of millions
saw that the man was down on his
luck" and engaged him on the spot at
salary Of 9l5 per month This was
quite characteristic of Barney sudden
and irresponsible freaks. AT the end of
six months the man, who had been paid
monthly, again called on Mr. Barnato
aud presented Il huge bundlo of clip
pings from newspapers, asking whether
ne should continue the work. "NO."
replied Barney, "but l will engage Won
for six months at the same salary to cut
out all tho nasty things you can find
SAID about me- Another six months
elapsed, and once more the indefatigable
paper clipper turned up and reported
his work to be finished "Well," asked
Barney, where are the results of your
work." Here Barney assumed his gray. |

Some Royal Presents.

Queen Mary, popularity known as
sBloody Mary" has not been pleasant.
~ drawn for us by history, but certain
records of the time when she was a
young princess occupying the danger
ous position of doubtful heir to the
throne of England, indicate that she was
not without human kindness. Mr. Rich
ard Davey, in his history of Mary Tu.
dor, quotes from the princess "privy
purse expenses. " Mary had been forbid
den to call the Princess Elizabeth by
any title, but it is pleasant to note that
she refers to her atfectionately as "my
little sister"
She sends her BROTHER afterward Ed
ward vi, frock which she had en-
broidered for him and gave her sister
Elizabeth a cramoisie satin kirtlo.
Again, she sends a box with silver
needlework in it for her "Sister Eliza
beth" and also worked cap for her
baby brother and made his nurse,
Mother Jackson" a present of bon
net and frontlets which cost 20 shil-
lings
Most singular among the gifts of the
period, however, is that presented by
Lady Lisle to Duke Philip of Bavaria
after the duke had visited Lord Lisle at
Calais.
MY lord, she writes to her spouse
from Calais after Lisle and Duke Philip
had set ont for England, II send you
my toothpicller. thought to have given
it to the duke while he was here, but it
was not then at my hand. l send it to
him because when he was here did see
him wear a pin to pick his teeth withal.
And | pray you to show him that it has
been mine these seven years.
A proprietorship in a toothpicll of
seven years date would hardly be rec
nowadays.

Christmas Preparations.

From Harpers Bazaar.
Those Of us who are always hurried and
harried In our Christmas work would DO
" ell 10 run the risk of being smiled al for
cur over-Zeal and begin at this early date
to prepare the holiday gifts. many of which
we must fashion with our busy hands.
Surely the list of persons whom we wish
to remember can be made ont quite a. well
now as TWO months hence. We may work
leisurely and take ample time in selecting
the gifts We do not make ourselves. When
the blessed Yule-tide comes il brings with Il
many duties which must be performed and
which demand time for their performance
Who of us does not remember with dis
agreeable distiuctness the list of purchases
that in times past had to be made during
the last week before Christmas the crowd
ed shops, whore one must wait with hardly
acquired patience for the overworl1ed shop
girls attentions? Who of us has not had
numerous last stitches to put in this or that
love token, and has not sat uD late into the
night to set the same necessary stitches2
Now is the time when We may fll in the
odd minutes with the needleWork that later
would press upon us Surely will en-
ter more fully into the spirit of Christmas
if through the months that must intervene
between now and the holidays We are, as
oportunity affords, making preparations fog
the blessed festival.

Why Rubhers Are Good Form.
From Harper's Razar.


Ihefe was a time. not so many years
BACK, when it was not quite Fashionable
to appear too robust. A little Ianguor y. =;
considered rather becoming in a young wo-
man. Beauty was II ost beautiful when frail
but that day has passed. The pale, droop-
ing, Indoor girl has given way TO the rid
lng' walking, golf-playing girl. Health has
received the seal of fashion.
And everything that conduces to health
Is now good form. For instance, in the
matter of wearing rubbers. A few years
ago a good many women objected to wear
ing fuboers on the ground that they de-
tracted from the trim appearance OF the
loot But everybody knows that nothing
else ruins the health as quickly as wet
teet' and the only possible way to have dry
teet-especially in winter-is to wear ru0-
pefs. So rubbers have come back into style
as an indispensable adjunct to good health
Ihe added fact that rubbers are now so
much more shapeiy and graceful in their
nnes nnes than they were a dozen years ago. and
that they are now made in such infinite
variety, has served, of course, still further
10 increase their popularity.

FAN PAINTING.
n New Fad That VIII BE Popular
This Winter.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harpers Bazar
A new kind of fancy work is come into
fashion, and it is one that is not likely to
be very common, as It requires considerable
talent. knowledge of painting and is, be-
sides very expensive work. Ii is the paint
ing OF fans. This is not exactly rev, for
fans have been painted on parchment pa
per, silk and transparent material for some
time, but it is now the fashion to paint on
Yeilum, parchment, or pigskin. Even better
than any of these is chicken skin, but this
is difficult to obtain as yet in this country.
and those fans that have been finished have
beer painted on skins that were bought
abroad.
The fan should be of medium size, not
large, but yet larger than the ,mpire fan
mat mas been fashionable for 80 long The
rad Is to use two three shades of one
color-for instance, blue or brown-and the
design can be miniature with scrollwork

Grecian pattern, or the design on some old

VINO are ambitious and really have talent
| Ior thls sort OF thing have copied the Wat-
teau pictures; others have contented them
selves with much simpler things: and the
trouble Is with very simple design that it
| leaVes so much of the skin uncovered and
this requires most careful tonlng down in
| coloring-a most difficult piece of work
ana as yet the fad is only in its infancy.

accomplishment Is taught
After the fan is painted comes another,
dlfhculty; that Is, the mounting of IT prom

OF carved ivory, tortoise shell and mother
of-pearl sticks, and, Of course. these adj
greatly to the beauty of the WORK: but they
