MRS. RALsToa's FASHION CHAT.

Word as to What Well-Dressed Women are
Wearing Now and What They Will Wear.
AS to the muffs-they are simply
enormous-perfect ''grannie" muffs
of our great great grandmothers.
The three quarter-length coat,
which is really the new coat of
winter, is seen with many cloth suits
and promises to be quite popular.
Suits of corduroy, which is an in
expensive and most durable material,
are much liked, and very much worn,
by young matrons and girls. These
suits answer for all but extremely
formal occasions.
So many blouses and shirt waists
are worn that the belt is an i'm
portant adj junct-in fact, it is atten-
tion to just such little details that
makes the we'll dressed woman, COM
bined with that excellent habit
neatness.
Belts are worn in every imaginable
form-that is, as to the sorts and
kinds of materials. But many of
the new models show belts to match
the trimmings of the gowns. In
size they are either very narrow or
very wide. Some fasten in the back,
being laced together with ribbons
through round loops of steel.
Just few words as to hats, which
were never prettier, with simplicity
of shape and coloring that is very
restful and charming. The low, fat
trimming is still the best, and the
hats themselves are tilted a wee bit,
but the tilt must not be too marked.
All sorts of beavers and soft silky
felts are worn. Of course, velvet is
worn too, but Cnly with ones best
frock. Ostrich feathers are becom,
ing luxuries nowadays, so they are
kept more strictly for picture hats -

ary Ladies' Home J urnal.

WOman's Work.

Whenever you fret and quarrel,
Whenever you frown and cry
There's a line on your face that
tells it,
And will tell it by and by.
And when you fain would look pleas
ant,
The tell tale marks will say,
"She or he may try to be pretty,
But have been CROSS in their day"

Christian Life Column,
NEW YEARS REVERE.

/ leaned down over the cavern
Time dug for the old years tomb,
And laid my dead beside is
(For the sexton gave no room)
Twas q skeleton form of sorrow
At last buried away;
Is had stalked through my soul 9
castle
And haunted me many a day.
And then as 1 peered down deeper,
saw there yet was space
For a grudge that long had shadowed
NV hearts most sunny place;
And I cast the blighting burden,
In the grave where it belonged,
AS I said: "There are fates more
bitter
Than to be the one who is wronged. /"
And down on the lid of the coffin
laid q vain regret
For q time and q pleasure vanished
For a day whose sun was set;
And Just as the tomb was closing
flung in a selfish thought,
To lie in the dark and molder,
And perish as it ought.
And while the bells were ringing
Their midnight chimes, said:
''Since good endureth forever,
Let the dead bury its dead.
And then, like a radiant angel
Outlined in the skies above,
With the glad New Year in His
bosom,
/ saw the Spirit of love.
And He spake: ''It is only sorrow
And Sin and folly that dies;
Whatever was good in the Old Year
In the soul of the New Year lies.
As you stand on the grave of error,
Look up, for the stars are true
Let go of the things departed
Reach out for the things that are
new l'

When your burden is heaviest, you
can always tighten u little some
other burden. At the times when
you cannot see God, there is still
open to you this sacred possibility,
to show God. Let this thought, then,
stay with you; there may be times
when you cannot find help, but there
is no time when you cannot give
help.-George s. Merriam.

as they appear when other trees are
arrayed in their rich coloring they
are great heighteners of the beauty

A NEW YEARS THOUGHT.

Through the whole New Year be-
fore us we are going TO be under the
eye of God. 1.-THE eyes of the Lord
thy God are upon thee from the be-
ginning of the year even unto the
end Of the year" We could not have
Q better text or a better thought
than that for the 1902 New Years
day. 1t will give as strength to
make resolution, and it will give Us
grace to perform our resolutions.
Such a thought is a warning from
sin, power in labor, and a comfort
in sorrow. The presence of an earthly
friend will put out of our mind a
temptation, or give us strength to
overcome it and, more than that,
in the presence of that friend there
is the JOY of companionship, and the
condolences and the whole atmos-
phere of love. So is the presence of
God. It is both a glory and cover
ing. Gods friendship through the
year is our bulwark and our high
tower, our sweet solace and our
great joy.-Sunday School Times.
The progressive farmer., 1902-01-07

There is an old story of man
who enclosed one dollar and one cent
in the envelope which he put into
the missionary collection plate, and
explained in a note that the cent was
for the heather and the dollar TO get
it TO them. The story never had
much point for those familiar with
missions, and has lost what little it
possessed. At the meeting of the
American Board the other day some
interesting figures we're given. The
net cost of administering the whole
work of the board is six and one
half per cent.-one-half the lowest
expense of any life insurance com
pany and about one-ffth that of the
average fre-insurance company. In
other words, of every dollar con-
tributed to foreign missions through
this board ninety-three and one half
cents go directly to the work itself.

INJURED,
cit is so nice to go TO bed"
Susan Coolidge.
Now Is the time when the worn
old Mother Earth, her labors all fin
ished, sits with hands folded in her
bounteous lap, whispering a fare
we'll to the last of her dear plant
children. Now is the time when in
the thought of the Greek, Mother
Ceres withdrew her blessings until e
time when Pluto should return her
beloved daughter Proserpina 60
earth again. People of our day have
sought another Interpretation for
the change that comes upon the
earth.
Each season has it's own peculiar
influence upon living things, plants
and animals. It ia most convenient
and certainly most interesting to
study each phase of life in the ap-
propriate season.
No greater variation in Nature
can be imagined than that of a typi
cal pastoral scene viewed in the full
ness and richness of summer as in
contrast with the same picture seen
at this season of the year. To trace
the development of the winter
picture is an interesting study.
Most conspicuous in their winter
habits are the trees and shrubs. Our
attention is not so often directed to
the beauty of the trees in their
denuded state as when they are
dressed in foliage; but when we con-
slider that for several months each
year all the deciduous trees are leaf
less, we cannot regard their appear
anoe at this time as an unimportant
study.
In winter when the whole frame
of the tree is exposed to view, the
delicate sculpture, the forms, the
angles and mode of branching, pre-
sent a sight of infinite variety.
There is as great a variety in the
style and framework of different
trees as in the form and color of
their leaves and flowers. Some
trees, however, are quite ugly in
winter though very beautiful in
summer dress. Among these are
the horse chestnut, the sumach and
the ash, where the ooarseness and
deformity of their branching becomes
very apparent.
The spray of different trees bears
a direct relation to some other char
acters. Nut bearers, for example,
have coarser spray than small seed
bearers trees with large or COM
pound leaves than these with small
or simple foliage; and trees with
opposite than those with alternate
branches. The oak and hickory
have a ooarser spray than the biroh
and the elm. If tree bears a large
nut with leaves compound and
branches opposite like the horse
chestnut it has no spray at all. The
anguiarity of the boughs of the oak
is repeated in Its angular spray and
the gracefulness of the principal
branches of the elm and the birch is
traced through all their minute
subdivisions.
The geometrio beauty of the spray
of the trees is hardly less remarkable
than it's different colors A maple,
for example, is gray, a poplar wood
is greenish olive, the birches and
cherrytrees are quite dark. In an
assemblage of some of the common
trees suoh as is often seen In our
woods the differences in coloring be-
tween a maple, poplar and willow
are very striking.
We should know but half of what
ik open to observation If we never
visited the forest in winter and we
should miss one of the most remark
able features Of q winter landscape

that recent events OF a semi-polltical

statement:

no concessions and We repeat IL now.

not be understood. The operators
