Latest JeweIry Fad.

The sole outstanding novelty in fash
ionable fall and winter jewelry is
detachable, plain gold underwear but
tons. These are put up in sets of four,
six, ETC., and can be had in varying
sizes and weights. A thoroughly serv-
iceable set of six can be obtained for
$50, and this size gives evidence of be-
ing the most popular.
The buttons are oblong, or round, on
the outer sides, and the reverse ends
are nodded to fit the curves OF the
body. The man of luxurious tastes and
ample means need no longer suffer
from the distress occasioned by the
deadly animosity of laundresses to
buttons of all kinds.

MODERN WOMEN.

Become annoyingly precise IN their
method of doing things.
Annoy men by injecting too much
gush into their conversation.
Stand in their own light by an as
sumption of dignified reserve.
Take on fads which show nothing
in the way of tangible results.
Make requests in a tone that takes
on the appearance of command.
Indulge in whining to an extent
that causes them to be regarded as
bores
Think nothing of taking little things
which are not their own under the
souvenir plea.
Fall into the habit of growing en-
thusiastic over the most common
place occurrences.
Like to tell their best friends how
they openly made fun of another
woman's garments.
Acquire the habit of. conversing in
an undertone in a way to create the

Never since the tailor-made woman
appeared on the scene a dozen years
ago, have the coats, jackets, skirts and
suits been as handsome as those
shown this autumn.
Perhaps the long lines are respon-
sible for their beauty. That is the
chief feature of the frocks and gowns
that are to prevail in the world of
fashion the coming season. Even
where the skirt is broken by double
circular fiounces the long, graceful
effect is still sought after and must
be obtained to give the costume the
proper style.
While in former seasons it was the
plain cloths that were trimmed with
silks, braids and fur, this year the
tailors are putting trimmings of every
description on their creations, compos-
ed of the mixed tweeds and cheviots.
So much will be used this winter that
all of the handsomest suits for either
walking, shopping or visiting will be
trimmed with some one of the popu-
lar furs.
Especially graceful was a gray cos
tune that was recently sent home

BITS OF WISDOM.

A question settled by force rather
than reason always comes up for re.
settlement.
There probably never was a time
when all men were satisfied with
their share.
THE laborer is worthy of his hire"
but unfortunately worthiness is not
always a winner.
In the endless race for wealth men
are too prone to forget the ordinary
claims of humanity.
1t is always better to concede
something than to insist on demand
that is both just and merciless.
1t is when one man asks for justice
and the other demands the lions
share that the road to honest and
honorable adjustment is blocked

Hints for Christmas.

Here are directions for articles
which would be good for fair or as
Christmas gifts:
Get a strip of cardboard which is
used to mount pictures on and cut 1t
in pieces by inches. Then buy some
of the pictures which come two for a
cent, and paste them on evenly. Then
punch hole in the corners of the
cardboard and run baby ribbon
through to hang them up. Some good
pictures to use are the poets and their
homes.
Save the names of your pictures
when you cut them and paste them
on the back Of the cardboard. If you
use gray cardboard. pink or blue rib
hon would look good If the cardboard
is dark green red ribbon looks good.
Do not use more than six pictures to
a panel.
Another pretty article is made by
pasting pretty picture on a card
board having half an inch margin all
around. Then ruffie strip of crepe
paper about an inch wide and paste
round the picture. Put bow at each
corner of the picture and fasten
piece of cardboard at the back so that
it will stand up.
This is also pretty IL ribbon is used
to hang it up.
Get two briarwood pipes. Make a
little cushion for the bowl of each
pipe, taking a small piece of ribbon
or silk, lining with curled hair or cot
ton. Tie the pipes together with rib
bon, and fill the cushions with pins.
This is to hang by the side of the
bureau or dressing table.

The full flowing sleeves had three
bands of the fur. and the dainty chif-
fon was made into the under sleeve
that is to be one of the fashions of the
winter.
For the wee maids the full box-plait-
ed skirt is seen on many a school
dress. Plaids, checks and plain cloths
are the things that mammas are max
ing into suits for small women.

vas made, and it was frightened by a

ing white CAMP of broadcloth. A
broad red collar laid out onto the
shoulders, and neat narrow cuffs of
the same fabric trimmed the sleeves.
The pretty frock was finished at the
waist line with a narrow belt of the
velvet.
Sailor-like is a frock of dark navy
blue serge, with a broad collar of

pait in the front and narrow ones all
about. The waist is also plated, and
p bit of white serge shows as vest.

ALL SORTS.

Most women-haters are aoo--wams-
ers In department stores.
There are few faces that can afford
not to smile occasionally.
Equality is pipe dream. Fig-leaf
costumes have had their day.
# is astonishing how far few femi-
nina tears will go with man.
The man who pushes the grass cut.
ter is one kind of lawn party.
Sny young man who is in love likes
10 Ray good night the next morning.
Some peoples lack of sense is more
conspicuous than their lack of dollars.
p. man may gush over a woman. or
vice versa, but the gushing is seldom
mutual.
Some men spend half their lives in
making a reputation and the other
half in trying to live it down.
1t sometimes happens that a mar
ned man dislikes to visit people who
try to make him feel at home.
When man marries a grass widow
don't present him with lawn mower

tailors. The dress was of a mixed
tweed, and a distinction was given it
Ly the black fur that set it off.
The skirt was long and narrow at
the hips. with the full, flowing train.
The front breadth was plain and
reached from the waist line to the
ground. On either side of it began the
thin circular flounce that made the
skirt handsome. Where these began
were narrow bands of broadtail. In
the waist the same effect was carried
cut by the round collar, while between
the fur bands was fall of white chif-
fon that formed vest.
