adorned. Much of the lace work is
elaborate and requires considerable
skill and experience, but there are
some simple designs offered for those
that like that sort. The lace tie
ends are quite simple and at the
same time effective.
More elaborate affairs are the large
collars of Arabian lace. These can
also be made of Battenburg, and at
less cost. In many of the designs
none of the stitches are especially
difficult, although at first glance the
whole looks rather complex.
Other articles that can be made by
the lace workers are centerpieces,
lace caps for baby, kerchiefs, wings
suitable for either hat or hair orna-
ments, collars with cuffs to match,
vests, bolerO jackets, turnover col
lars, lace yokes, lace scarfs, and
doileys. The turnover collars make
very acceptable presents, cost trifie,
and can be easily and quickly put
together.
Knitted and CrOcheted Articles.
There is wide field to choose from
here. Look at the list-couch af-
ghans, infants afghans, golf-capes,
shoulder capes, shawls of many kinds,
shoulder, circular, and yoke; fascin-
ators of various styles; toboggan
caps, bicycle caps, riding hoods,

CROCHETED SLIPPERS.

circles, worked in light blue bordered
with black, edges buttOnholed in
white, was priced at one of the stores
at two dollars and a half. You can
readily see most of the cost lay in
the work. First get a good pattern
of the stock desired, and the rest of
the making will be comparatively
easy. Those long in front are now
preferred. Everything depends on
the shape and the fit.
A pretty embroidered pillow cover
one can be reasonably sure will be
appreciated. Those of coronation
braid are very popular. A poppy de-
sign is appropriate, the poppy being
the drowsiest~of flowers.
Bits Of linen handwork make dainty
presents. The strawberry pattern
for the tray cloth is extremely pretty,
the oval shape novel feature.

is being rapidly eaten away-so rap
idly that in most parts of the cascade
a double step marks clearly the prog
ress of retrogression. The exception
to this rule is found in the Utmost,
/ e, the highest pit of the falls, where
it reaches out to intercept the swift
current that races round the band of
the Brazilian shore. Here the waters
fall in one magnificent leap of over 70
yards. Yet the larger proportion of
the waters escape this trap, running
out and beyond into the wide elbow
formed by the bend. This loop runs
for some 5000 yards roughly parallel
to the gorge towards which its bottom
preserves a distinct slope. The edge
of the plateau is studded with a series
Of rocky islets, through which some
portion of the waters flow towards
the gorge, while the remainder pass
round and behind until they are met
by the higher ground that forces them
finally to join the roaring torrent be-
low. Here, where these last falls
make their descent, they have worn
out a wide horseshoe on the Misiones
shore, and are known as the Argentine
falls. Thus it will be seen that the
waters fall in three separate planes.

the last named "cause" she, like so
MANY others, drew toward the suffra-
gists.
There were so many ways of get
ting at it. There was education. Mrs
Howe was a democrat as we'll as an
aristocrat. 1t angred her when in Eng
land. in 1872 she heard the bishop of
Manchester speak against the schools
for middle class girls which Mrs. Grey
was establishing. Il have been in the
United States" said the bishop;
study only makes girls ambitious. 1t
leads to confusion of ranks Lady
Wilhelmina from Grosvenor square
would never sit beside the grocer's
daughter" Such arguments cut both
ways.
You hear woman suffrage spoken of
once nowadays where it was named
20 times 20 years ago. The fighting
days are past. Women have more
rights in some directions than they
know what to do with, and are getting
more as fast as theJ can agree that
they really want them. The fighting
days bred big women; the few that
are left are imposing figures among
their average sisters of the younger
generations.

Tguazu-The Niagara
Falls of South America
A Wonderful Cataract in the Tropical Forests
of BraziI--Its Size and Grandeur.

I'll, Paraguay and Argentina, he is con-
fronted with fresh problem. BY rea-
son of their complicated outline, it is
impossible to view the grandeur of the
falls in their entirety from either the
Argentine or the Brazilian shore.
Should he determine on the first he
will have the convenience of a path
cleared through the forest with a
rough rest-house at the other end.
But if he would try for the grander
spectacle to be viewed from the Oppo-
site bank, he must adventure up the
gorge in boat or canoe as far as the
state of the river will admit, and
then land to fight his way through tam
gled footpaths to the most favorable
outlooks.
AS the visitor on his return home
will have to face the inevitable ques-
ton: "How do the falls Of lguazu
compare with those of Niagara" L
submit here the approximate dimen-
sions of each, together with their
more striking contrasts, leaving him
free to draw his own conclusions.
The falls of Niagara are formed on
a straight reach of the river that
leads the overflow of Lake Erie north
into Lake Ontario, and constitute thus
a portion of the boundary between Can
ada and the United States. The cliff
over which the falls descend extends
directly across the rivers course, and
is worn in two great curves whose in
ner points meet at Goat island, l 400
feet from the American bank. The
total width of the river at the point
