ABOUT GLovE-wEARING.

No unduly thick or fat hand should
ever be incased in anything lighter
in the way of gloves than mouse
colored tint, unless the wearer be all
in white
White gloves should never be worn
by anybody who is not wearing an
other distinctive touch of white or
gown or hat. The contrast is too
crude. The woman with large hand
if it is well shaped, may wear white,
but not pure Whitewater the
oyster white, with black stitching.
Black gloves should only be worn with
black gowns and coats. For your gown
in every shade of brown, from choco-
late down to the range of mastic and
pastel lines, you can have gloves to
match. The same with grays. For
evening dresses it is harder to choose.
For pale pinks, blues, yellows, mauves,
unless there is some particular lace
trimming or embroidery in white or
ivory, the palest mushroom or mastic
tints are safest.

A SWEET MINDED WOMAN

~
So great is the influence of a sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. 1t is to
her that friends come in seasons Of
sorrow and sickness for help and CON-
fort; one soothing touch of her kindly
hand works wonders in the feverish
child; a few words let fall from her
lips in the ear of sorrow-stricken
sister do much to raise the load Of
grief that is bowling its victim down 20
the dust in anguish. The husband
corras lone worn out with the pres
sur q. business and feeling irritable
with the world in general but when he
enters the COW sitting-foom and sees
the blaze OF fire and meets his wifes
smiling face, he succTmbs in moment
to the soothing influences which act as
the balm of Gilead to his wounded
spirits that are wearied with the stern
realities of life. The rough schoolboy
flies into a rage from the taunts of his
companions to find solace in his moth
ers smile; the little one, full of grief,
with her large trouble, finds a haven
of rest on its mothers breast. And so
one might go on with instance after
instance of the influence that sweet
minded woman has in the social life
with which she is connected. Beauty
is an insignificant power when com,
pared with hers.-New York News.

A good many dresses for afternoon
entertainments are being literally
trimmed with fur; a bolero and yoke
with long ends is supplemented for
outdoors with a shoulder tippet of the
same material heavily fringed and en-
broidered. Tartan, which Is always
brought in every season, has taken no
stronger hold of fashions than it has
done before, but there are few gowns
in the darker plaids trimmed with
bands of cloth of one of the shades,
and tiny gold tassels and gold gallon
on the skirt, these often accompanied
by black velvet coats made like a
Scotch jacket, with dark leather vest.
A good many of the handsomest
gowns of this season are made with
long coats Some of the most useful
dresses of the moment for knockabout
wear are plain serge skirts, with a
long sacque coat of the same, worn in
doors with a pretty blouse. Many of
the long basques to the wooden gowns
are cut to appear as part of the skirt
and not of the bodice, but united to it
by shaped band.
