Black Net Skirts.

Black net skirts are again predicted
in the most emphatic manner, and 1t
must be said that there is really moth
ing equal to them for comfort and
economy, as with the return of the
separate bodice, the light-colored
gowns can be saved SO materially.
Theater dressing has become extreme
ly elaborate, yet our skirts never show,
and only become crumpled, so all the
crisp feeling is lost. The nets used
now are clear and strong OF mesh,
trimmed with jet and ribbon, and the
robe design carried out as nearly as
possible.

For White Gowns.

White mohair. with a silky surface,
is to have an unprecedented reign this
spring. Entire gowns, separate waists
and short and long coats are made OF
this material and are trimmed with
embroidery, lace and fancy braid; for
the palmer models machine stitching,
braid and many pearl buttons are
used. The dust-resisting, noncreasing
qualities of mohair render it an adj
mirable material for travelling and
general utility gowns. These gowns
are smart in the brown shades, dark
blues, grays and black, and are bound
to be leading favorites.

Improper feeding is the source Of
most human ails. Sick people don't
laugh much. It is the healthy and
strong who see the sunny side of
everything. Pure, scientific food will
correct most ailments and bring
laughter and good cheer in place Of
sickness and gloom.

An Honest Answer.

Nathan, when small boy, once
drifted into Sunday school, or was
dragged there accounts differ-and
when asked concerning the chief end
of man merely shook his head. The
question. was not clear. Trying again,
the teacher sought to get from him
some idea of moral responsibility.
There was no reply. A third effort
was made by gradually approaching
the subject, the teacher asking him
what he best liked to do.

The very latest fad In handker-
chiefs is to have them dyed to match
each gown and no matter what the
shade may be, it can be exactly
matched by the dyer, in lawn, batiste,
or silk handkerchiefs. These hand
kerchiefs are plain, with only the
narrowest hem possible. In the mat

much elaboration, both in lace and

It was busy thoroughfare in Edin-

hausted with the stir and hustle she
hailed a passing cab. The driver was
at her side in moment. Opening the
door, he stood back to allow the lady
to enter.
She made one or two weak efforts,
but was unable to mount the step;
and at last, looking imploringly at the
driver, she said:
"Help me in, my good man, for am

The driver gently assisted his fare
into the cab, and then he calamity
said:

which Success bestows.
