fashionable colors. The most stylish
house gowns are made of French fan
mel. But never before at this time of
year have so many light grays and tan
cloths been made up. Indeed, all the
styles of dress this year are on most
elaborate and expensive scale, and it
requires considerable thought and in
genuity for the woman with a moder-
ate income to dress according to the
latest fashion dictates. Fortunately
there are good many styles in every
sort of gown, whether for street or
house, that are attractive and quite
inconspicuous, and these are the best
to choose from where economy has to
be considered, while in the black gown

The world is becoming so small and
intercommunication so easy that one
who expects to trade is seriously handi-
capped if his mother tongue constitute
his sole linguistic capital The inter-
est taken in education by comm ercial
bodies nowadays is significant. Time
was when it was thought that only
members of the so-called learned pro-
feasions-doctors, lawyers and minis-
ters-neeaed liberal literary endow-
ments. 1t was srare thing to meet a
merchant or manufacturer who was
thoroughly familiar with the text
books. 1t is different now. The edu-
Gated merchant is the rule and not the
exception, especially in large cities.

The something that must be done"
" save our birds from the women who
keep on demanding them for their
hats is to prohibit, not the shooting,
but the trade in them. If dead birds
were forbidden articles OF traffic in
the towns, the crack of the gun would
not be often heard in the country.
Several species of our song birds are
in danger of extinction. 1t is time to

Monkey Adopts n Kitten.

One of the most unique sights of
juneau, Alaska, and source of never
failing interest to tourists who visit
that place, is the tender care of Miss
Jocko, said to be the only monkey in
Alaska, for little founding kitten.
Miss Jocko belongs to Terry Cohn,
who short time ago placed kitten
in charge of the monkey. She at once
literally took the foundling to her
breast and cared for it with all the
sympathy and tenderness peculiar to
the quadremana. When strangers
came near Miss 10 'ko showed her dis
pleasure by continuous chattering,
and her anxiety was betrayed by the
nervous way in which she folded her
charge in her arms. The only time
she would consent to releasing the
kitty was when her master set out a
saucer of milk for it.
The cat got on famously and became
large and fat, but one unlucky day
some ore stole it. Miss Jocko was
disconsolate beyond words and re-
fused to be comforted until about the
middle of last month, when little
girl presented her with tiny kitten.
Previously the monkey had re-
jected other kittens, after losing her
first ward, but this one she took to
her heart. Carefully she looks aft 4r
its every want, washes its face. kiss s
it at appropriate intervals and at all
times keeps it Immediately free of
dirt.
At night the mother monkey takes
her feline child and puts it carefully
to sleep in dry goods box, never
failing to cover the kitten with piece
of blanket.
A few days ago Miss Jocko un-
hooked her chain and sought refuge
from the crowd by climbing to the top
OF porch, never for moment letting
go of her baby. She folded the little
one in her right arm, squeezing it
until it mewed, then scampered up u
post to place of safety, from which
Mr.. Cohn finally dislodged her. To
effect this result he was obliged to
climb to the second story, open win
dow and step out upon the porch.
Miss Jocko quickly folded the baby
in her arms and descended.
Miss Jocko has been resident of
Juneau for less than a year. She is
a South American monkey and APP
parently is thriving in her adopted
home north of the fifty eighth parallel.

MY LITTLE SWEETHEART.
My little sweetheart of long ago!

My little sweetheart of long ago!
l see her eyes and her wind-tossed hair,
And the long, long way that we used to go
On foot to school when the day was fair,
The morning sun on our faces shone,
And the world before US was all our own.
We crossed the bridge at the end OF the
town.
Beyond the hedges the meadow lay;
We could look across where the sky came
To the ends Of the earth, and far away
And we thought, for the distance seemed SO
fair,
That surely the gate of Heaven was thers
We passed through the quiet woodland dell,
Where the great trees met in an arching
screen,
And the glittering, waving sunbeams fell,
Like golden narro VS., the boug his between.
Lighting the moss where the win d-nowers
shook
And the viol. slelt N her velvet nook.
Always new was that morning walk;
SO much to think. and so much to say.
How full OF wis ION our grave, sweet talk,
What treasures we found along the way!
Mid all the wealth in the haunts OF men,
Nothing so rare have we found since tnenl
tiny nest where the eggs were five
An empty nest, by the pathways edge;
The myriad creatures that toll and thrive
In messy crevice and nook and ledge
Ant, and spider, and wood-mouse shy,
Butterfly, moth, and dragon-ay
Ny little sweetheart Of long ago!
Though school Was ended, and lfe's sad
page
Has taught us more than we care to know,
Have we wiser grown? Are We quite as
sage
As we were in that far, sweet dreamland,
where
We walked to school when the days were
fair?

Truly wonderful are the designs,
both OF fabric and cut, of the new
evening waists which made their first
appearance at the Horse Show. Two
of the most notable examples are
shown in the large engraving. AL
though much of the material from
which they are made comes from the
factories of the old world and some of
the garments fashioned are upon
French models, yet there are many
exceedingly handsome ones made
here.
As modish as any are those made Of
satin, but not of a heavy variety, and
thus the fulness of waist is allowed
to fit gracefully on the figure. This
is tucked, straight, in squares, in
diamonds, OF hemstitched and drawn.
One of the new embroidered styles
is made in white mauve and cream.
The embroidery is open and loose,
and through it. is shown lining of
cloth of gold. The style of this waist
is really blouse, but is open at the
front and filled in with knots of NOUS
seine de sole or chiffon. The collars
are bands of crushed silk, and the re-
markable little jeweled buttons which
shine through the filmy ruches of
chiffon which edge call things" add
not little to the general effect.
Mauve and other delicate shades of
lilac are much used.
Into these waists are inserted yokes
or vests, often collars of plain con-
trassing shade or ahite. with Persian

York very far forward of the face.
The new style of arranging the
coiifure which brings it high up in the
back means that the hat shall be worn
over full roll in front, not pompa-
dour, but soft arrangement in which
the hair extends very widely at the
sides. The hat itself extends far over
the face, that is not down, but up
ward at least from three to four inches
beyond the lines of the face, that is to
say the new pointed, round hats,
topics and Other styles which are
being shown.
The turbau must be poised suffi.
ciently high, and though the hair is
being parted and worn apparently
softer, there is no squat or fiat
tendency permitted The forward
inclination of the hat gives rakish
and peculiar, but graceful turn to the
entire appearance when not pushed
too far. The entire outlines of dress
have an alternating effect. The idea
is to make the woman appear taller,

CHILOREN'S COLUMN,


1t was down at the orphan asylum, one day
That three little maids sat round the fire
Each telling the thing -he wished for most,
If she only could have her hearts desire.
"Td like pony as white as snow"
said Maud, "and I'd ride it each day, of
course,
And the people would stop as l rode along,
And say, Look at that child on the snow

Said Alice, "I'd ike to own ship;
And I'd sail clear round the world, Il guess
And bring back present for all the girls,
And beautiful crutch for dear little
