dividuality goes into every piece made.
That is why machine crocheted bead
work cannot be compared with that
made By hand.
"a large percentage of our bead
workers are ladies. | mean, they are
women of refinement and good birth,
who need pocket money and can make
it in this way, without hard and dis.
tasteful work or unpleasant associa-
tions.
They make fair wages and take a
great pride in their work The new
fad is making life easier for many a
poor and proud gentlewoman, and that
is class for whom it is usually very
hard to find work"
The black bags which were first to
find favor are still popular, and the
steel bead bags which forged to the
front last season are sold in great
numbers; but, this winter, the dainty
light bags in crystal and pearl and
soft colors are the rage and are the
superlatively correct accompaniment
to the delicately tinted gowns which
are the latest word of fashion.

She was newly married, and did

or shopping, and she was giving her
first order 1t was a crusher; but the
grocer was a clever man, and was
used to all kinds of orders and could
interpret them easely.

like air.

Two tins of condemned milk"

He set down pulverized sugar and
condensed milk.

fresh"

use to us; we don't keep a horse"
Then the grocer sat down and
famed himself with a patent wash

nearly freezing.

1.-THE GOOD OLD TIMES"
And They Were not Near as Good as
"These Degenerate Days.

1t is a frequent habit OF the moral
.sts, as well as of sociological stu
dents, to sigh for the good old times
ami to compare the morals and man
ners of the present day with those of
the days of our grandfathers and
grandmothers. The smartness. and
fastness, and holiness of modern soci-
ETY. more than once have furnished
themes for poets and essayists as well
as for the pulpit, and have been
placed in contrast with the modesty.
and dignity, and propriety of those
old ays-so often, in fact, that we
have come to regard our forbears as
patterns of exemplary conduct.
1t is refreshing, however, now and
then to find testimony that some of
the grandmothers were no better than
some of their descendants. Testimo-
ny OF this sort is contained in letter
which was sold in an autograph sale

Familiar as it all sounds this is not
picture of society in 1901, but in
ITS, time to which we are referred
so often for social practices which
should be initiated by society today.
Were the old times any better than
the new times? Were they as good?
Those who abuse modern manners and
society must go back of 1775 to find
their good old ays.' But they can
not find them this side of the fall of

REMOTE NEWFOUNDLAND.
Out of Touch With all the World
Utter Isolation of the People.

Utter Isolation of the People.
1t is probable that no English
speaking people is at this time so ut
terly isolated from all things of ad-
vanced civilization as the folk who fish
from the little harbors which lie along
that stretch of the east coast of New
foundland between Cape John on the
south and the Straits of Belle Isle on
the north. There are no roads, no
paths, leading from harbor to harbor.
The land is a wilderness, dense, track
less, infested with black flies
and mosquitoes. Shore fishermen
would rather take their little punts
through forty miles of tossing sea than
suffer the fatigue and terrors of two
mile tramp inland. Communication,
indeed, is only by punt and skiff; and
so rarely do the people go from place
to place that woman, who went
from home with her husband to settle
in harbor five miles distant, did not
see her relatives against for fifteen
years. Moreover, the mail steamer
touchs at but two of the more i'm
portant settlements, and that only at
fortnightly intervals in June, July and
August The news of the world, in
distorted form, is passed along by
word of mouth, long after it has
ceased to be acutely interesting to
the people of more favored lands
"'Tis sad" said an old man of
Round harbor, who had heard of the
first British defeats in South Africa,
that the English do be beaten. Do
