FLIRTING A DEFENCE.

There Is danger i'm the air--the young
barrfster must be taught that new evil
may block his path. The newspaper para
grapher has told in eloquent passages Of
the effect OF a pretty womans tears in
court and the love letters OF misguided
mortals have been time out OF mind d.
lated upon.
Truth is stranger than fiction. Many
people look upon a considerable part OF
real every day history as pure fiction.
Now prosaic counsel has outwltted the
funny man. The word prosac hardly ap-
plies for the contention Is new. and the
genial city solicitor has for years had
such a reputation for keen wit that to
designate anything he might say as pro-
sale would convict one at once of the
terrible fault OF density.
The barrister who takes case against
the city must be prepared to meet a
strange charge against his client. lie

A great variety OF native nuts are now
to be had plentifully and oheapiy in mar

best for this purpose. They are mixed with

are used.
Chopped nuts as filing for sandwiches
are delicious. They should be moistened
slightly with mayonnaise and may be
used with or without lettuce leaf. Hazel

used i'm this way.
The Italian chestnuts make excellent

cream is recommended for this soup.

the decree that the colored handkerchief
is Ia mode now, and the shops revel In
tho linen squares OF color. some OF which
harmonize with the widest vagaries OF
the Poster Girl.
The colors are. for the most part. deep
French blue. coral pink and dark laven-
der. Sometimes sage green and a Chinese
yellow thrust themselves forward, but
the choice Is with the first three colors.
Handkerchiefs make a very acceptable
Christmas gift to every woman. for the
dainty bits OF lace and linen have an un-
fortunate knack OF being lost, so among

price from $40 TO four cents. all purses

All white handkerchiefs may be bought

chiefs IL twenty-five cents. For this price
there are dainty handkerchiefs. with the
initial worked In colors I'm one corner, or
with an edging of colored bow-knots
stamped on them, or with corner en-
broideries of colored flowers and fern
fronds. Others have a deep border of pink

There are some beautiful handkerchiefs
shown for fifty cents. One OF the prettiest
patterns is that OF lavender shield and
graceful palm branches worked on the

chief. Another has "A colored hem, with
