to match the evening gowns. If three
large hooks On the corset be SO placed
that after the skirts are firmly fastened
there is a space Of half q finger between
the hooks and the waist line, and If the
corset cover Is glove fitting above the
iOnably heightened and a smooth set
will be given to the top of the dress
skirt There are some wonderfully pref
ty petticoats in brilliant green silk and
in the various new shades. These are
worn with street costumes, says the Gin
cfnnau Enquirer.
Very pretty corset covers. night robes
and other garments can be simply made
at home and trimmed with dainty Val
enciennes and narrow baby ribbons run
through the insertions, and the ribbons
are used to make the garment fit around
the decolietage. The straight front cor
set is still the rage. The latest accessory
in the lingerie line is a sachet pad, which
is heart shaped and made Of dainty silk;
occasionally it Is manipulated and edg-
ed round with lace like a delicate cushion.
This was invented first to be placed in
side, between the shirt and the corset,
to prevent the steels from pressing
against the person, but the chic tWen-
tieth century girl pins the sachet pad
on the outside of her corset to give the
rounded, fun front appearance so popu-
larry noted with the blouse waist and
evening bodices. Each corset in the
trousseau should be carefully fitted u
the figure and of the latest model.
The Empire robes de mutt and the
Princess robes de mutt are the most
fashionable The new ideas seem. to be
in the variety OF trimming, the star
shaped yoke, the Louis XIII deep-point-
ed collars. lace collars. etc, being added

Preferred Jail to Homework.
One Of the odd little items that was
printed lately in the newspapers, a tele-
graph dispatch from a country town,
told of a. woman who committed some
trihing offense that she might be sent TO
Jail for a term. Her reason was that she
was so tired of Homework that to get
rid of it she would gladly go to Jail. That
is an eloquent argument against that
form Of woman's work, says the Mail
and Express
But the higher education Of house
workers is making the labor interesting.
High time it should when jail is pre-
ferred to home duties. The children who
learn these things in kitchen gardens
are going to like houseWorF. for it rep
resentS something besides a dull round
of sordid drudgery. The reasons for
thiI gs are given and they are usually
interesting ones Why yeast raises, why
baking powder ssizzes.'' why eggs thick
en- q custard why cooked food is more
wholesome than raw. why ventilation is
necessary; all these things if taught to
the young pupil Of do-&estic science
make work an interesting pursuit.
DishWashing and scrubbing-Well,
there is nothing to be said in defense
of these. and perhaps, after all, they viii
always create a class of abhorrents who
prefer the Jail.

The double action of malice is never

Because they are quiet, many nurnb-

There is not crime that cannot be lived

When a woman has nothing about her

November LIST. During the past six
weeks the hall has become the center
OF Gospel temperance work A part
OF the lower hall is used for a night
school five evenings each week, par
tally supported in connection with the
Club. In the upper hall free reading
room is open each afternoon and even
ing. The lecture room is usually occu-
pied six evenings a week. Sunday
evening there is Gospel praise service
led by MIR. 2. w. Rider. Tuesday even
ing the temperance agitation meeting
has been led by Rev. DR.. Hartley-suc-
cessor not yet secured. Thursday even

evenings are devoted to rehearsal and

The daily papers are donated by their
managers to the reading room OF tie

niSh coffee and its accessories through
out the week. one of the best possible
substitutes for the saloon might be es-
tablished. Free coffee has been sug-
gested. Coffee could be served daily
by the side OF the soda waters always
on sale at the counter. This coffee,
however, could be sold with perhaps
y sandwich or dOughnut, for d moder-
ate price.
In 1893 a Committee of Fifty was
organized in the Eastern States for the
investigation Of the liquor problem A.
present the officers of this committee
are Hon. Seth Low, president; Prof.
Francis G. Peabody, secretary, 'and
Hon. William E. Dodge, treasurer. A.
most all the remaining members of this
committee of fifty are men of national
reputation. In their report on Sub
stitutes for the Saloon written by
Raymond Calkins, and published this
year, 1901, low-priced lunch rooms and
coffee houses are counted among the
most successful substitutes. 1t may be
noted, however, that although some of
these have been reported as financially
the fact remains that
the prOprietors do not attempt contin-
ued work in the large majority of
cases. 1t seems to be true that coffee
houses Qow-priced), like schools

and even churches, almost always need

houses and temperance saloons are not

ing upon q well-to-Go class of custom

support business.

A hearty invitation was voted, Offering
