A certain woman, says the New York

case before him.

see a pearl gray broadcloth, with lavish
trimming of white guipure supplemented
by black velvet and a belt of white cloth.
OF the three gowns shown together the
left hand one was brown cloth, with
stitched skirt yoke and pleats, the bodice
topped by cream yak lace collar. Be-
sides this is an example of the new two
piece suits. Dark red cheviot and black

a severely plain walking suit of gray
zibeline. These double breasted coats

ing adopters. At the right in the next
picture is a mouse coored venitian,
stitched and ornamented with black.
The very rough surfaced materials are
often trimmed with self-bandings, or with
landings of like material of different
weave or color. Zibelline is a leader of
the rough fabrics, and is in such extreme
ly high favor that it is approaching that
stage of freakish treatment that ultra
stylish materials often have. The cos
tune remaining in the concluding pic
ture was illustrative of this in a mild
degree. Its wrap was zibelline of the

my mother more than I had
ever done before. I thought I
was big enough to do so. So
one morning I rose without
mama's knowing it and pre-
pared breakfast. When it was
ready L called her to come, and
she was surprised. L have
been helping mama ever since
New Years and still hope to
do so. I never made a resolu-
ton before, but I think I made
a very good one. The reason
I made this resolution was be-
cause mama was sick, and T
thought it was my duty to help
her.
