Tho Saying Women.

If we are to believe the old proy.
erb, which says that Savings good

women always has been greater than
that of men.
Oh, the saving women Of the world!
The women who sit up late making
over last seasons clothes to save buy.
ing new ones; the women who stealth
lily tiptoe across the floor to turn down
the gas when papa dozes over his
newspaper; the women who darn huge
holes In basketsful OF stockings; the
women who have a cracked teapot or
old pocketbook into which they drop
fstray dimes and quarters, taking the
accumuladops to the savings bank
with guilty secrecy; the women who
wash out pieces Of carpet to make
them appear fresh and new, who turn
the trimmings on their hats, and clean
their gloves with gasoline, and cut
down the clothes Of Willie, aged IA, to
fit Jimmie, aged 10. Bless them, every
one!
There In another sort Of saving
which might properly be termed hoard,
ing. 1t consists in laying down rugs
to prevent the nap of the carpets from
wearing, in putting paper covers on
prettiiy bound books, in locking up the
little girls French doll. We read the
other day of a woman who made q
plush cover for the rosewood piano
and linen cover for the plush, and
q newspaper mat for the linen. We
hope there are not many women like
her. In this sort Of saving there IL
often an admixture Of folly.
There is yet another kind. Saving
car fare at the cost of an exhausted
body, saving lunch money and "skimp
ing" the table, just as If you coult
cheat nature without mourning retri

at the cost Of impaired or perhaps de

rhs Passing of Black Velvet.

Black velvet gowns are not consid-
cred SO smart this year as last, yet
they are among the most attractive
gowns worn. They are now trimmed
with sable and ermine and white lace,
and are especially a fad with the sable.
An exceedingly smart and popular vel
vet model is almost exceedingly plain.
The only trimmings are the rhinestone
buttons, but with this costume Is worn
a pelerine Of sable with big muff and
turban to match, and the beauty Of the
furs is shown in the greatest possible
advantage by the very plainness of the
design of the gown. Indeed, the whole
costume is a great relief after the over
done and overturned gowns Nthat
are so popular.

what China Sells us.

II you are saked suddenly to say Of
what four articles China sends us the
most, what would you say?
Tea probably would be the flrst
thing of which you would think, and
for the second guess you would select
silk. That would be correct. silk and
tea lead in exports.
But what would you name as the ex-
port third in order? You might guess
for a good while before you reached
the right thlng-goat skins. And the
fourth in order is msttings, another

The Boy Who Climbed Trees.
They brought him to me at the close Of
day,
Pain on his innocent lips,
His bright eyes dim and hidden away
Meath their lashes' silken eclipse;
They laid him on his cot SO white,
The Doctor Man" to please,
And footsteps tiptoed there all night
That little climber of trees.
For he was the king of Leafy Land,
With his throne on lichened boughs
His courtiers bold the feather band
That twittered their gallant vows:
And through the browsing afternoon
His orchestra were bees;
All, never was heard such medley
tune
That little climber of trees.
The squirrels were pages clad in red,
And some had frocks Of gray;
! And the scuppernong dangling overhead
Was his canopy rich and gay;
The butterfly came aloft to hirt,
On the sourwood-laden breeze;
In his airy realm life knew no hurt
| That little climber of trees.
| .@a a's.-4 A.l..a4-
But there came that day a humming bird
To take the kings commands,
And fain was he, in lieu Of word,
To take 1t in his hands;
And that was how in reaching far
The elfin queen to seize,
He was dethroned with sudden jar
That little climber Of trees.
Oh, sad is the couch where the faller
king lies,
But murmur none he makes;
I know the wood thoughts in his eyes
As my soothing hand he takes,
Pats 1t and whispers that he did wrong
While pray there on my knees;
He would not mind the whole day long
That little climber of trees.
But when l buy him his crutches small
And forget the bunch on his back,
Mayhap he will sit where the catbird
call
And the gopher leaves his track,
Weaving the dreams Of his ruined thron
To ope book lore with the golden keys
When his heart the dreamer's art
shown
That little climber Of trees. ..

Tom and Molly were visiting Aunt
Carrie, on the large farm near the
Hudson. From the big piazza they
could look down on the broad, shining
river. Sometimes little sailboats few
by, or q beautiful yacht, and now and
then large steamer sending out white
rings from her tall smokestacks. And
when they grew tired Of watching the
river, there was the orchard, where
Iow-branching trees made beautiful
playhouses.
Ten-year-old Tom was very fond of
his little sister. She was only six, and
Tom felt quite like a big brother, and
would often tell her that nothing could
hurt her when he was near. And
trusting little Molly believed all he
said, and admired him with all her
heart. But very soon he had chance
to show his bravery. One day the chill
dren, going to the orchard, passed 9

feeding.
Now Molly was afraid Of loose
