Moreover, the mean winter range of tenn

Added to all this is the fact that It takes
no longer to reach the farthermost places

to Paris, owing to the fast express service
which the Great Western Railway COM
pany has recently inaugurated, with the
advantage of smooth travelling and no

It is not every one who, when in delicate
health and in imperative need Of change Of
climate, can give either the time or money
for trip to those places abroad which are
recommended by the medical faculty as
suitable for various complaints. Such I'M
fortunate people might well despair were
It not for the fact that they have remedy
at their very door, although the chances
are greatly in favor of their being ignorant
of this fact. 1t is always the Englishman's
first idea on being told that he wants a few
days rest and change of locality to rush
away Immediately to the continent, derive
most probably every benefit from the trip,
and promptly catch cold on the homeward
journey, owing to the fact that he has TO
pass through great varieties of climate and
risk cold sea passages.

Of Nice, Cannes Monte Carlo and some of
the pretty little spots across the Italian
frontier 1t never occurs to him that there
is an English Riviera, and that all the at
fractions of clear skies, blue seas and genial
temperature are to be found along the coast
of Cornwall. Where 1t is a question of
health, equability of climate Is a most i'm
portant point, especially in lung and chest
diseases. What is required in such cases is
that from month to month and from day to
day there shall be violent transition
from heat to cold or vice versa, but that
such changes are imposed by nature

desirab BILE that the daily range, or difference
between day and night temperature, shall
not be extreme.
These are all points of Importance which
are claimed for the Cornish coast, and
which for many years past have been
steadily supported by the medical faculty.

PARIS, December 6, 1902.
II Is quite the fad of the moment
here in Paris for the women to drop
in for a cup of tea at one of the fash
ionable tea rooms. You know we are
all very English nowadays in our GUS
toms and sports and this o clock function
has been taken up with enthusiasm The
true Parisienne really fOathes the cup that
cheers. but there are nice little substitutes
in which the letter of the law is adhered
TO and the spirit is not found wanting. The
talk at these rooms where women most do
congregate Is about Christmas and Christ
mas presents
Judging from the conversations over
heard, every woman hopes to wake up
Christmas morning to find herself the pos
SCISSOR of pearls in some form. They look
go well with the white costumes which are
the craze just now! BY the way, the smart
est thing in the jewelry line is to have
ones jewels tone in with the dress scheme,
and the designer is putting forth strenuous
efforts to make nadames toilet success
in this particular. For instance, a collar
and waist buckle of amethyst worn with
mauve gown trimmed in dark fur and wool
lace would be stunning. 1 noticed some
beautifully tailored walking frocks at the
tea room.
Despite the fact that In some quarters the
short skirt is cried down, q walk on the
Bots soon proves it's popularity, almost
every wellgowned woman wears one. OF
course, there are many times when they
are entirely out of pace and the long
trained one is de rigueur. But it is certain
ly the moment for the well-shaped skirt
which just clears the ground and for the
smarty made blouse jacket. Some of the
latter are continued in pointed basques
back and front, but the majority finish at
the waist with a band of the material be

short skirt. II properly cut, is practical and

widely over stomacher composed entirely
of roses and foliage. A bertha OF white
lace surrounded the decollete bodice, and a
strap of lace crossed over the shoulder,
from which fell garland of roses reaching
half way down the arm. A narrow band OF
lace encircled the waist, which was held to-
gether at the back by a huge bow of lace
with long ends.
Another attractive frock was worn by a
woman who sat in a box looking Serenely
pleased with herself and the world at large,
a striking evidence of the consolation to be
found in a becoming gown. This affair was
of the empire style in crepe de chine or
peculiar amber color. The long, trailing

What to Buy.
II you want pretty. inexpensive evening
frock, why not purchase white net with
alencon laces, applidues. insertions and fril-
lings? This delicate, tullelike net is very
modish Just now. and the alencon laces,
though handsomer than ever, are not as ex-
pensive as they were. You may use an old
satin or silk slip very nicely for the founda-
ton, but be sure to use as much chiffon
as circumstances warrant to soften the net
The padd ng of chiffon is half the battle
to a successful finish The alencon inSer-
tions will redeem the skirt from plainness
A bolero effect is becoming to hang the lace
around the bodice.
Nearly al the evening bodices and blouses
have lace or some other thin material ar
ranged in this fashion. For girlish even
ing frock black net is very good with sequin
lace applied in somewhat the same way as
the aleucon is on the white net. Choose a
lace in which the sequ las are small. as large
ones are very garish. dress of this kind
is much pTettier for a young girl than a
regular sequin robe.

for smart day and evening wear.
