NEW THREE-PIECE COSTUME
This model shows to advantage the new
fad for costumes-all of one color and de-
sign. The coat and skirt are in a delicate
tint Of pale blue. with hand embroideries
in several shades of blue, with white and
gold relief. The coat has a collar and
revers of fine macreme, and Is loose back
and front. The little blouse is of chiffon
velvet, to match with ribbon embroideries,
the same appearing on the inner revers
of the coat. The skirt is box-paited to the
knee. where 1t flares. and the embroidered
motifs are posed between the plaits. A
velvet binding finishes the hem
We Forget.
SO many tender words and true
We meant to say. dear love. to you:
So many things we meant to do
But We forget.
The busy days were full of care;
The long night fell, and unaware
You passed beyond loves leading prayer
While we forget
Now evermore through heart and brain
There breathes an undertone Of pain;
Though what has been should be again,
We would forget.
We feel. we know, that there must be
Beyond the veil Of mystery
Some place where love can clearly SEQ
And not forget

SANTA CLAUS on THE Woon.

Not as he comes, with dashing bells,
To children that are wise and good
The Santa Claus that trims the trees
OF Christmas in the wood;
Not in single night he loads
The boughs with gift and candle here
All. no: to trim the forest tree
He labors all the year!
The summer tarried while he hung
The bauble-ball Of silk and spore
Upon the bosom of the oak
And silver sycamore.
The autumn fingered while he wove
The silver fibers and the floss
OF gold and amber in the lap
And apron OF the moss.
He wrought with sap and wind and rain
While summer suns were rich and raw
Then strung his beads of crimson fire
About the fruited haw.
And, tendril-tied, he hung the grape
From bough to bough-a high trapeze
For circus antics of the squirrel
The gymnast of the trees.
His Christmas carol is the hymn
OF winter birds that pipe and sing;
His goody gifts the promised sweet
OF naples in the spring;
His little ark a fallen leaf
That upples down the crystal stair
OF sylvan brooks; his toy balloon
A snowflake in the air.
Nor marvel where the chimney-placs
To ease his coming chance to be-
The rogue,-behold him slipping down
An ancient hollow tree!
DEFENDERS gifts, and gifts for May
He leaves, then, ere he passes by
He begs a match from night, and lights
The candles of the sky!

blouse of dyed blue lace is covered with
round wafer spots of the cloth edged with
the tiniest piping of blue chiffon velvet
There is high girdle of the velvet.
With the coming Of cold weather the
vogue of the chiffon veil is resumed.
The newest thing is the scarf veil of

with the color of the gown. The veil is
forty-six inches long, and is hen1med at
the ends. or tucked or trimmed with lace
TO suit the wearer's taste.
To one end OF the chiffon is attached a

Smart Effects in Smooth Cloth,
Brown and Light Tan.
The long-waisted effect is in favor and
many coats have long blouses belted in
with the belt well below the natural waist
line
The sleeves are all made large and gath
cred into band or pointed cuff at the
wrist. the cuff being made either of vel

A very smart model for a coat intended
for child or years old is q half
fitting long coat Of smooth cloth, red.

There are two shoulder capes, one OF
the cloth. the other OF velvet several
shades darker than the cloth. Then the
GUNS are OF the same velvet in pointed
shape.
To wear with this is wide-brimmed
hat OF beaver or cloth, matching exactly
the color OF the coat, trimmed with band
of velvet and velvet bow and three white
ostrich tips.
Sometimes the tips. instead Of being
white, are the color of the velvet--that Is.

EXQUISITE WINTER FRoCKs.

Garments of Fine Broadcloths Look
Like Satin and Velvet.
30 soft and fine are the broadcloths now
used in gowns. both for street and house,
that they often look like satin or chiffon
velvet.
There Is finish and luster about them
quite different from anything that has
been attained to before and 1t Is not at
all wonderful the fashion of q smart cloth
reception gown Is so extremely popular.
These satin-fnish cloths are not effec-
tive, however. made in severely plain de-
sign.
There are some extremely smart prin-
cess gowns that are plain and untrimmed
and only relieved from too severe lines by
the lace or fur collar and STOLE but in the
n ajority of cases 1t is the deliberately nm
ished and much-trimmed design that Is
chosen as a model, and the only danger
is that in time the effects will be too fam
ciful.
A fayorite model for black broadcloth is
the flounced skirt. each flounce trimmed
with rows of narrow braid. put so close
together that there Is not quarter of an
inch between; then each line of braid is
finished with small tassel that looks as
though each douncc was edged with
fringe.

Delicate Friday Food Should he
Served With Tomato Sauce.
A solid piece OF halibut or cod may be
baked without stuffing. Wash and dry the
fish.
Remove the skin by dipping the fish a
moment in boiling water and then scrap
ing the loosened skin Off with sharp
knife.
Place the fish on q tin sheet in baking

This solid piece of fish may be stuffed
by removing the central bone and filling
the cavity with seasoned crumbs, then
proceed as directed above. Fish turbans
make an attractive dish. Take thin strips
Of halibut, cod or paddock. roll and skewer

HATS GROWING SMALLER.
They Are Made Now With Some Re.
erence to the Head.

erence to the Head.
Hats are certainly growing smaller in
size and are chosen with some reference
to the head which they are supposed to
cover as well as to adorn. but at the same
time do not for moment think the large
hat is entirely tabooed.
The turban, quite narrow and with
point In front, is. when becoming, thought
extremely smart, but when the pointed
effect makes the profile too sharp then
he brtm Is stretched or broadened.
The brim should always be covered with
the velvet in soft folds, shirred or pleated
to make 1t becoming, for there are very
few women to whom a straight hard line
of velvet around a hat is even possible.
It is quite a problem now to find a sat
tsfactory all-black hat.
The shops are filed with hats of every
shape and size and color. but the all-black
is for the moment quite out of date.
The old-fashioned shepherdess shape in
rough beaver bound around the brim with
velvet and trimmed with one large white
rose at the side of the crown, Is quite
novel, but black and white. not all black.
The most attractive all-black hats are
a mass Of ostrich feathers.
The framework of the hat may be
beaver or velvet; the trimming must needs
be of ostrich feathers, long plumes OF tips
or combination of both

SHORT COATS WILL BE WORN.
Trend Toward Old Styles May Brin,


in Et0ns.
Short coats are predicted by the keen
est observers Of fashion.
There is no doubt that the general trend
toward 1890 styles would logically bring
In the short Elton with full sleeves and
loose back, but fashion Is not always
logical In its processes.
One hears a. great deal OF the 1880 re-
vival, but 1t does not really mean much
more than that shoulders ara made to
droop and that skirts are full and flowing
again. The fashionable figure does not
by any means conform to that of 1880.
Reference to fashion plates and to por-
traits Of that period shows that wasp
waists were admired and quite a fair size
Of hips were allowed. Skirts were very full
and, very short, reaching barely to the
ankle.
Hoopskirts do not appear, but so many
rufied and starched petticoats belonged
to the feminine. toilet that the neral

and some models are almost exactly like
the fatigue jackets worn by American
army officers.
They have fitted or half-ftted back
and are straight and loose in the front,
extending about twelve inches below the
waist.
Flat braid borders a coat OF this kind,
the braid being carried around the top of

All corners are square and the coat Is
closed with braid clasps.

GIN HIM WE LIVE, MOVE

All, God is never SO far OF
AS even to be near;
He is within; our spirit is
The home he holds most dear.
To think of him as by our side
Is almost as untrue
As to remove his throne beyond
Those skies of starry blue.
So all the while We think ourselves
Homeless, forlorn and weary,
Missing our joy we walk the earth
Ourselves Gods sanctuary.

Don't worry. In the tangled skein
OF life a worrying thought
But complexities the kinds of pain
And tightens up each knot.
Make VIII the master of your mood;
Through anxious fear and doubt;
No peace, no pleasure and no good
Was ever brought about.
Don't worry. Do the best you can,
And let. hope conquer care:
No more Is asked Of any man
Than he has strength to bear.
The back Is fitted for the load;
Your burdens all were planned:
And IL you sing along the road
Kind Fate will lend a hand.
Don't worry. Fortune is a dame
You have to WOO with smiles;
Whate'er her mood you must not blame
Nor criticise her wiles.
Trust God In shadow and In sun,
And luck will come your way,
But never since Old Time begun
Has worry won the day.
