One can't help wondering what has

the fur itself is too dead looking. Chin
chilla, to the contrary, is charming

Revival OF the Blue Frock Coat.

From over the water comes the news
that the blue frock coat is to be re-
yived. That is not so bad If the revival
is confined to the coat alone, but as to
its accessories-well, that is another
story. When our grandfathers walked
abroad in all the magnificence of their
blue frock coats they wore lowered
waistcoats which were quite as gaudy
as their wives best gowns. They wore
high stocks, fob ribbons and all the
paraphernalia that in those days went
to the dressing of fine gentleman.
That was all very well in the days
when a gentleman in question took
snuff from jewelled boxes and spent
most of his time discussing the affairs
nj the day in the chop or coffee houses.
But in the hustle and hurry of today
all this grandeur would seem sadly out
OF place. Let the blue frock coat come,
but let it come alone; when quietly
dressed up to It look as neat as any
other, and its temperance should be
welcomed.-New York American.

Perhaps the most important adjunct
of pretty woman's toilet is her veil.
Upon 1t the effectiveness OF her com
plexion largely depends. A good veil
softens the tints of the tenderest skin

Upon the selection of her veil the
wise woman eXpends much time and

white, or the black and white mesh,
known as the beauty veil, because of
It's almost universal becomingness, is
q question which she decides only after
much pondering and more trying on
