A CHILD'S FANCY.

An active healthy imagination Is
 one of the happiest gifts a child can
 nossess. If we watch ar intelligent
 child. four or five yeas old, who be-
 lieves himself unnoticed we will prob-
 ably be astonished at the richness and
 fertility of the fancy which can give
 life and color to dull commonplace
 things, and weave whole stories ana
 dramas around simple toy that
 means nothing more to us than what
 if plainly stands for. But we will per
 ceive that even his widest romances found themselves upon many facts for free and frolicsome as imagination may appear, it is subject to it's laws
 It deals with real things in playful way; it embroiders, paints, moulds, but it must have its material, it's basls, in actual life. What we call creative ability is really nothing but the power to reconstruct, perhaps to connect, seV- eral separate plans or patterns into a whole which seems different from the original. The child is an artist who
 daubs on his colors boldly, without any sense of the absurdities he may com init. and so he often produces effects that surprise others as well as himself 1 Many of the acts that seem so preco- cious because we suppose them to be | the outcome of well-considered plar are really happy accidents; not devoid of the merit of originality, but neither | to be overpraised as work of genius Childhood is one unbroken succession of experimenting Waman's Home | Companion.

A MTSFIT.

Freak of Fate Pursuea a Man Who
 Has a Genius for the Inopportune.
 mThere goes a man." said a Canal street philosopher, "who has made failure of life in spite of exceptional equipment for success. He ia honest, affable. highly educated and indus triols as a beaver. He has no bad habits, and I couldn't name man in New Orleans who possesses a klndl1er disposition, yet he is continually out or a job and is studiously avoided by everybody who knows him, The mys- terious part of 1t is that nobody can fell YOU just why, and the poor fellow doesn't understand it himself. He is beginning to think that somebody has worked a rabbits foot on him, but the secret is really this: He has a genius for the inopportune By some mal1gn freak of fate he always says and does tfe wrong thing at the wrong time. It is not lack of tact; it is destiny. For exanple. I like him, but he never called on me in his life that his visit wasn't highly unwelcome.

He chanced on a certain prominent lawyer smirk- ing before a mirror, rehears1ng an inn nrontu after dinner speech, and the nroninent lawyer got even by knock ing him out of a valuable contract. Those are two cases out of dozens. He never gossips or tattles, but the mere fact that he has seen things he oughtn to see and heard things he oughtn't to hear makes his very presence embar- rassirg to the other fellows. It's most unfortunate. and all fate. If he were introduced to a man whose grand father had been hanged he'd be abso- lutelv certain to begin talking about rone inside of two minutes.

WHAT TO WEAR In
NOVEMBER WEATHER.
Ideas for the Woman Who Likes to Look
Ir,tty When She Braves the Wind and
Sleet.

The newest things in gossamers and
storm cloaks are so complete that they
leave nothing to be desired for anyone
who can afford to buy one. But alas!
with the improvements in these storm
coats they have become so expensive
that they practically debar anyone with
a small purse from purchasing.
I stopped in a very swell rubber
store-a Rubber Emporium" it called
itself-the other day. And here found
a bewildering supply of rubber cloaks
with silk outsides and gossamer lin
ings. But not one of these fine new
ones was less than SIS, and most of
them were more. A cheaper kind Of
storm cloak could be bought for s11.
But this had a heavy cloth outside and
was not good for anything but cold
weather wear.
But there are other ways of planning
the wet weather suit which are quite
as satisfactory and do not cost as
much.
The prettiest storm dress | ever saw
belonged to Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
the poetess. It was of white canvas,
combined with black material, and all
around the foot Of the skirt was broad
band of white oilcloth which also lined
the skirt as far as the knee This dress
had white oilcloth cuffs and collar OF
the same. and also belt The waist
was black with a white waist trimming
and big white canvas sleeves; and the
skirt was black except fer the oilcloth
trimming. The effect wa ~ dainty,

Last winter, Or rather early this
spring, certain very fashionable dress
making establishment made many of
these coats to be worn this way. and
they made the bands adjustable also.
For the woman who really must have
a rubber coat and who can hardly af-
ford the expensive ones, there is a pretty
and satisfactory make-shift. First get
one Of the old-fashioned gossamers. Per-
haps you have one in the house, the old
dark rubber sort. If it is torn, no mat
ter, but mend it neatly with pieces of
black silk.
Now get a quantity of dull red silk,
of fine light weight cloth, and make a
garment just the size and shape of the
rubber gossamer. You yill not need
much material, as there are no sleeves,
only openings for the arms; and there
will be little fitting. Be sure that you
get the back curved nicely and that
the neck and shoulders have the pecu-
liar trim look which storm coats al
ways have. Now slip the rubber lining
inside the coat you have made and bind
securely all around the edge, using the
rubber turned up as binding or edge.
If you take little care you viii have
a very stylish and pretty storm coat;
and the cost will not be great, per-
haps S.; and the wear will be for many

"The lamp shade of paper, you have

| "The lamp shade of paper, you have
already seen; but have you seen the
tissue paper table covers? They are Of
wrinkled crepe paper and are laid over
the table squarely and with the four
corners hanging down like a piece Of
cloth. Around the legs Of the table
you Irvine a morning glory vine-real
IL you can get one, paper if you can
not-and then, in your most artistic
| fashion you bring up the tendrils, the
slenderest shoots of the vine to make
a border to the paper table cover.
Twill any one fancy this to be paper
when looking at it? No, indeed; for it
is green, like bit of real moss
spread out, or it takes on the tone CT
the room like the inexpensive crepe
fabrics. And the immense advantage
is that you can throw it away when it
is dusty, faded or soiled. Try one Of
these!
"And what next? Cover soiled
chair cushion with the paper, and be
sure that it is put on loosely, showing
all the 'crinkle' and not drawing in
any way. You will be surprised to find
how stout it is; and that it will stand
wear as we'll as thin silk. 1t can be tied
upon the chair, and then its life is prac-
tically as long as you care to have it
last.
For covering up the doors that dis
figure your room you will find it lovely.
You can cover the door all over, wood
work and all, with the paper, and then,
if so please you, put up little shelves,
as if you had cabinet there. This
will be just the thing for holding little
treasures, such as tiny bits of bric-a-
brac and small souvenirs. Or you can
stretch the paper on the floor in long
beautiful panel and amuse yourself by
painting upon it or decorating it with
grasses.

are yet so necessary to free air circula-
tion-you can have a treasure. if the
transom is to remain open. Try this
way Of arranging it. Tip it at right

years with good treatment II you buy
the gossamer lining it should cost from
Sc down to So. but do not get anything
cheaper than this.
An admirable storm hat, winter and
summer, IS a little olose-ftting turban
of good cloth. Have it bordered with
close Persian lamb, or imitation fur
edge: and. when the veil is drawn over
the hat, it viii be very becoming to
any face. 1t is the fashion in this
country now to keep the furs out Of
the boxes all the year around: and
your Persian lamb border will be be-
coming all the year.
Many stage ladies who feel that car
rage fare encroaches too deeply upon
their salaries have devised very good
ways of protecting themselves from the
wet pavements. Mrs. Jessie Bartlett
Davis, Of the Bostonians. has a skirt
that is twice as long as she can wear
it. There is band upon the edge OF
the hem and this band is brought up
under the skirts, SO as to enclose them
when it is buttoned around the waist,
And with this skirt any woman who
has Office work to do can easily wear
pretty gown to her business and have
it as dry and clean as when she left
home. Miss Georgia Cayyan has way,
invented by herself, Of drawing on very
large, loose tights under her dress skirt,
which is rather short, to protect her
shoe-tops from the drip Of wet skirts.
But this is available only when the
weather is very bad, because it could
not be worn if the skies were too clear.
There are very pretty and servicea-
BILE rubber hats made of colored gossa-
mer cloth, not distinguishable from
real cloth: and then there are little
glazed hats, also very serviceable and
pretty.
The woman of sense. whether she
may have business to call her out every
day, or may be only lady of leisure
with taste for walking in all wealth
ers, will adapt her costume to the rain.
so that she can be comfortable and not
catch cold which follows wet weather
carelessness. With a little study and
planning the wet weather dress can be
easily made just what is wanted. And
