bertha outlines the yoke. The sleeves
are the pointed ones Of the season,
tucked to be snug above the elbows
and full below.

Stuffed n Monkey With Money.

What probably is the queerest OF
places for hiding money has just been
revealed by the death in Paris of Louis
Kerki, a supposed pauper, who for
years had received relief from the au-
thorities. The other evening he was
found dead in his room, with stuffed
monkey cIasped fondly in his arms.
The gendarme who was summoned
noticed that there was slit i'll the
monkeys skin. and out'of curiosity he
thrust pencil into the aperture. This
led to the discovery that the monkey
vas filled with papers. The gendarme
drew out q letter which stated that
the writer. in fear of burglars, had
placed his savings in the monkey, and
he then tore open the animals body.

There was a shout Of approval from
the fairies at this, and. to MarieS won-

that glirted like moonbeams Oh emer-

shoulders. said:
LAS long as you keep this we will

Folding doors were thrown oFen. and
Marie saw q long table. bending be-

fruits. with dainty crystal dewdrops
for drink in superbly traced cups. All
was hilarity and mirth. A tiny chime
of bells sounded. and. as if by magic,
the table disappeared. merry music
thrilled the listening air. and lovely
couples whirled in the dance.
A smart little gentleman fairy in
violet suit bowed to Marie. and begged
her to dance the next set with him.
Just as they took their places Marie
felt herself shaken violently, and open
ing her eyes she saw her father bend
ing anxiously over her.

British Emergency Ration.

Every soldier in the British army
carries in his haversack what is known
as the emergency ration" This con-
sists of small tin cylinder, similar
to q pocket spirit flask, divided into
two compartments. One of these is
filed with four ounces of cocoa paste,
and the other contains a similar guam

As it's title implies. the ration is not
to be used except in the case of direst
necessity, and. if consumed in small
quantities. it will maintain strength
for thirty-six hours.

STYLES in Winter Millinery.

Lovely petunia and fuchsia mau7es
and magentas are promised in winter
millinery. These tintS are beautiful
and highly decorative. but not every
one can wear them. The decided
blonde, alike with the decided brun-
cite, has difficulty in assimilating them,
and they seem to be especially planned
for the accommodation of the natural
toned woman. She of the medium dark
brown hair. medium skin and unob-
trusive brown eyes generally carries
them off successfully; therefore. as
this style of woman is in the majority,
one may look for fuchsia and petunia
cult.

Rare Coins For PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia will soon possess two
of the rarest coins known to exist.
They are the famous silver dollars Of
1874. One is at present in the Phila-
delphia Mint, and the other was pur-
chased by Henry Chapman, Jr., nu-
mis,natist.
The latter coin was bought by Mr..
Chapman at the sale of the Murdock
collection of coins and tokens in Lon
don last week. Tie dollar purchased
by Mr.. Chapman surpasses the similar
coin at the Mint in perfection and
fneness.
Mr.. Chapman wrote to the auction
eers in advance that he was willing to
pay as high as $500 for the coin. 1t
was knocked down to him for f4S, or
S24O. The 1I94 dollar is similar in
face appearance to the dollars now in
circulation. having the medallion face
on the front encirclcd with stars and
tile date. On the reverse is the spread
eagle seated Oh the wreath.-Phila'

Row Knots of Straw,

A walking dress of bamboo colored
louisine is very smartly trimmed with
the new Observation-Disclosures of straw.
The straw is exceedingly glossy and
the braid so fine, the band so slender
that all stiffness is avoided. In fact.
you would scarcely realize what is
the trimming unless you see the gown
very close. Satin-fnished bands Of
pale yellow straw are an excellent
match for the baEboo-colored silk.
1t looks not unlike a tine-woven braid

sign is appliqucd on the blouse front.
