POPULARITY OF GREEN.

merry of the Present
Season.

Green in all shades is likely to be
the most fashionable color for the
next two or three. months, says the
Millinery Trade Review. It is COM
lbined with most colors, but princi-
pally with white, black, gray and
brown. A broad-trimmed hat of
white felt, worn off the face, has
the brim caught back to the crown
in front by twisted band of bright
ivy green. ribbon. One end of this
ribbon encircles the crown, and to it
is attached a bunch of pale green mis-.
tletoe, SO as to rest on the brim in
front and opposite to it behind q
bunch of green and white variegated
holly with red berries. Underneath
the brim, in front, the ribbon is
drawn up into large pouf, which is
placed on a folded band of the same.
Another hat, also turned up in front,
is made of a soft shape of iron gray
homespun, entirely stitched over in
rows about half an inch distant from
each other. The crown is rather wide
with fiat top, and the hat rests on
a band of gray velvet. The trimming
consists solely of two long and very
wide scimitar-shaped couteaux dyed
a brilliant parrot-green. These are
fastened to the right side of the
brim on it's edge, SO that one curves
round over the brim toward the left,
while the other, following the same
direction, curves round underneath
over the band.

astrOus Effect of Assuming
Too Much Wisdom.

II
A young man employed in an oyster
shop has lost his situation, and this
because he gave prompt answer to
his employers eager question, relates
the London Chronicle. The employer
had six lively little land turtles, which
attracted much attention as they
wandered aimlessly about the win
dows. He painted large white let
ter on the back of each of the shells,
and put up notice to the effect that,
whenever the turtles got into such
relative positions that the letters
spelled "oyster," he would present
half a dozen natives to every one who
was looking on.
Then he became frightened lest tho
mystic word should occur too often,
and covered reams of paper figuring
out the odds. He gave it up at last,
and was about to remove the turtles
when his most accomplished oyster
opener informed him that the odds
were 72O to against the combination.
The turtles are still in the window,
but the oyster opener has gone. Such
knowledge of odds, the employer,
thought, could have been acquired
only by years of betting experience.
1t is not wise to be too wise.

Grand Trunk Secures Space NJ
SDOrtSmeM's Show.

SOOft8"eh8 SNOW
The Grand Trunk Railway Company has
completed arrangements for an extensive
exhibition in connection with the second
annual Sportsmen's Show to be held in Chi
cago from February 3 until February q.
The Show is being held in the Coliseum, .
large building admirably suited for the pur-
pose. The exposition will probably be the
finest that has ever taken place in America,
excelling even that held in Philadelphia dur
ing last December. The Grand Trunk ex-
hibit will include the collection OF large
photographs of scenes throughout the sum
mer resort districts situated on it's line,
including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays,
Magnetawan River, 10000 Islands Of the
Georgian Bay, kawartha Lakes, and Lakes
Simcoe and Couchiching, as well as views on 2
the Portland division, combining land and
water scapes, scenes in the White Noun
tains, and surf bathing scenes taken on the
Maine sea coast.
The space to be occupied by the Grand
Trunk will be about 1000 square feet, and
will be one of the most attractive and most
interesting exhibits at the show. The Grand
Trunk has expended thousands Of dollars
in bringing before the people Of the United
States and foreign countries the beauties Of
the Canadian districts. In the districts en-
braced in what is known as ''the Highlands
of Ontario" nearly 10000 tourists were car
ried during the summer months, the ma
jority of whom were from the United States.
These districts have become so popular that
each year finds the hotel accommodation in
creasing and modern and up-to-date struc-
lures are being erected to accommodate the
ever increasing travel that is being brought
into Canada.
