Light Clothes in Winter.

There is no doubt that unless one is pos
sessed of a carriage 1t is impossible to
wear light clothes in winter, for the pale
toned cloths and pretty embroideries run
enough risk getting in and out of car
rige, but to walk down a muddy street in
such toilets is outre in style as well as
expensive to the pocket. Yet fashion at its
best, for afternoon toilets is showing these
beautiful applioues laces and embroideries
on exquisitely pale shaded cloths and silks.

Summer Collars.

One OF the potent charms of the new COLI
lars is their adaptability to anna teur imita-
ton, and their evolution or variation by
force of amateur ingenuity. No woman
with eyes appreciative of color and fingers
capable of threading a needle would think
for a moment of buying her shirt waist
collars. First she buys her linen or lawn
or bingham, sets its color and shrinks its
fiber in a bath of cold salt water, and the
rest is mere simple stitching and fitting.

New Shirt Waists.

From Harper's Bazaar.
A most sensible and ingenious plan, in
making taffeta or wash silk shirt waists
for summer use, is one invented by New
York shirt maker. The waist Is made
comfortably loose, unlined, with the sleeves
a little short and iared at the bottom. and
around the top the waist is cut down In the
shape of small round yoke. To wear I'M
der this he makes a perfectly plain waist
Of thinrest nainsook. trimmed a bit around
the top where the outside waist is cut out,
and with the bishop sleeves fastened at
the wrist with dainty embroidery band.
The stock collar is also of embroidery, un-
lined, and as cool as could be wished.
With two or three of these underwaists,
one may always have a freshly laundered
lining to ones silk shirts, and save them
from soiling.

Last Wednesday | was driving past the

Sorel. She was just coming out OF the
door on her way to her brougham. She
wore a stunning costume of deep old rose,
and it was all trimmed with narrow bands
of zibeline. There We're five rows on the
skirt, and her little triple cape was also
outlined with it. This small affair reached
only a couple of inches over the shoulders,
but it was a chic addition to a somewhat
plain costume. l understand that these 1T

find that your true Parisienne never has a

MrItinE.n Book.

The following confession OF n novel
ist as to the method In which he wrote
one of his books is not without inter
cst. He had had the story outlined in
his notebook for long time and ought
To- have been able to write it, but did
not feel able. Then one day he hap
pened to think of it again and saw, al
most as IL it had been a stage scene,
the little tableau with which the book
was TO cIose-One of those ends which
are also a beginning. So he began to
work and in Il short time had complet-
ed the first three chapters. Then, for
no reason that he can give, there was q
jump. and he wrote the chapters which
are now numbered NXI and NNII, the
last i'm the book. Then he went back
and wrote straight on from " to XVII.
The story had been with him so long
that it was the easiest thing in the
world to write 1t. and so he got through
this part of the work with remarkable
celebrity. In the eighteenth chapter
nothing happens. Every day for n
fortnight he rose, breakfasted and tried
to write that chapter; every night he
tore up n big pile of manuscript which
he knew to be hopelessly bad. Then
he got desperate. The chapter should
be written and should stand, whether
good or bad. He wrote it and left the
house because it was bad and he had
resolved not to tear it up. Next day
he wrote chapter XIX, and on the NOR
row he rewrote chapter XVIII and
somehow or other contrived to get into
it all that he had failed to get before.
Then he wrote chapter XX. and the
book was completed.-LondonP Post.

upon the farmer when he said this was
magical.
''Why. man." he said, 'T've been look

And then without more ado he
knocked him down and walked on him
from one end to the other. The tramp
got up, looking very staggered, and
asked him why he had done that.
