lined with brocade combining the pale
gold and blue. The muff, which was
soft and floppy, with two huge ruffies
of fur, had a beautiful fall of lace
tinted pale yellow and held together by
a clasp of turquoise and pearls.
The other costume was of old rose
crepe de chine, particularly lustrous
old rose. The skirt was cut serpentine
and entirely laid in tucks brought low
in front and curving high over the
hips. Under these tuckings a fiounce'
also of tucking, was added in such a
manner that it could not be detected
except by the extra fullness which it
gave around the feet. An underslip of
accordion plated black chiffon peeped
out an inch or so beyond the bottom of
the skirt. The waist was tucked in the
same fashion and trimmed with a wide
collar of tucked black tulle edged by

SAGITTARIUS
The Arrow Fire Sign

very fortunate sign to be born

nearly every case persons OF

uncommon intellectual and
psychic gifts. That they are so often
unhappy and unfortunate is not the
fault of their constellation, but OF
themselves, because of their rash. un-
controlled temperament.
Sagtttarius rules from Nov. % to Dec.
81. and this sign governs the thighs.
Persons born within the dates, above
mentioned are strong. quick and active
in their legs and make excellent dam
GERS. The arrow is the Sagittarius
symbol, and Sagittarius people go
straight at a mark in their minds and
with their words. Besides being an
arrow sign this is also a fire sign.
Those born under it are therefore both
quick and fiery. Above all things they
should check their hasty impulses and
their tendency to shoot off their
mouths" before they have considered
what is best to say.
Sagittarius people are fine and sensi"
tive in their nerves, likewise extremely
capable, quick and accurate mechanic

appearance. If you ever see Sagft-

w1LHELMINA's POTS AND PANS.

PO1S AND fANSs
The queen of Holland is thoroughly
Dutch in every way, and therefore it is
not surprising that she is keen in the
discharge of housewifely duties. Once
in three weeks the young queen makes
tour of inspection of the royal kitch-
ems to see if the cupboards, the plates
and the saucepans are in good order
those beautifully FURNISHED copper pans
which are the delight of every Dutch
housewife, and a tarnish on which she
would regard almost as stain on her
own reputation. Economy and thrift
are marked characteristics of Queen
Wilhelmina's domestic management
and it is said that often the queen
mother has been made quite angry by
her daughters determination to have a
dress renovated and turned when she
ought to have a new one.

GoLDsMITHs VIEWS OF WOMEN.

The modest virgin. the prudent wife
or the careful matron are much more
serviceable in life than petticoated phi
losophers, clustering heroines or virago
queens. She who makes her husband
and her children happy, who reclaims
the one from vice and trains up the
other to virtue, is much greater char
acter than ladies' described in romance,
whose sole occupation is to murder
mankind with shafts from their CULVER
or their eyes.-Goldsmith.
