RAINY DAY ATTIRE.

To prepare for a rainy day-that
ordinary-is one which many women
ponder over and actually worry about
more than what to wear to the opera,
ball or theater. 1t is, to be sure, a vital
part of women's wardrobe, many ills
being caused indirectly by carelessness
of dress on the wet and damp days.
The advent of the cravenette is a bless
ing, and although they are not as warm
as they should be there are many ways
scriptions are on sale, and they are all
becoming to certain extent.
One great fault of these rain coats is
that a great majority are altogether too
long, and they become wet and remain
damp while one is wearing them. The
proper length is just at the hem of a
short skirt. One may do very well with
out one of these coats There are many
new ideas for rainy weather, and one
is the cravenette suit, which is more
becoming to a majority of women than
the loose affair. They are made with
the tight jacket and short skirt and the
rain has no effect whatsoever upon
them. The style for sandals which are
used in place of the high rubber has
become so popular that it is a wonder
more women are not i'll. They are abb
solutely worthless on a stormy day and
no protection Only the storm rubbers
should be worn, and if sandals are
worn at all it should only be in the
summer time

BRIDE AND JOKER.

At one of the recent weddings the
bride carried prayer book, marked to
open at the marriage service and from
which she was to read the responses
and follow the service. The practical
joker was present, of course, for there
was never a wedding at which the
practical joker was not. Just before
the ceremony he slipped the brides
prayer book into his pocket and left
another in its place which he had bor
rowed for the occasion. When the
bride opened it at the altar she was
bit surprised and for a moment was
lost in wonder as to what had hap
pened. Then she caught on" bit her
lips to keep back smile and bent her
head over the book with no evidence
of anything wrong.
The practical joker had substituted a
prayer book printed in German and the
bride could read only English. Never
theless, she had studied the ceremony
carefully and made the responses at
the proper time and in the words set
down in the ritual.

WOMAN'S RUBY LIPS.

A certain learned man gave simple
rules for the choosing of wife. and
bade young lovers beware of a girl
whose lips dropped at the corners, as
such would probably make home any
thing but happy place.
At the same time he advised the in
tending husband to remember that up
ward curving lips indicated frivolity,
so that here, too, he would need to be
careful, while lips which are very thin
and quite straight usually belong to a
woman who Is a shrew.
A selfish, morbid and dominating
woman frequently has long, thin
mouth, with cIear-cut, firm lips, while
the cruel woman as often as not boasts
lips which are unusually red.
A large and well-closed mouth indi-
Gates sagacity, while a chin which is
firm and rounded generally associates
itself with determination and strength.

THE WITHERED PEACH

1t was tattered city child
With haggard face and brave
Who found a little withered peach
A-lying on the pave.
l saw him clasp it swift and close
Beyond my greedy reach.
AS though earth's richest treasure lay
Within that withered peach
.'Oh, see." 1 said that humble prize
How eagerly he thumbs;
Perhaps twill give him strength again
To battle with the slums.
Perhaps a fathers drunken curse
Has cast him on the street,
without roof to call his home,
Without a crust to eat.
Perhaps mothers lying i'll
In need of nourishment
And he will take the peach to her
In yonder tenement
Perhaps a little sister kind
Is fading. paling fast,
And he will save the peach for her,
His one poor gift-his last.
''Perhaps'-just then an auto car
Came tearing round the bend
And brought my mellow reverie
Abruptly to an end.
A window opened; some one yelled.
Hi, Chimmy. soak 'em good
The urchin poised the peach in air
And then understood Puck.

MODISH WAISTS.

The French and Scotch f1annels,
lightweight woolens, heavy mercerized
cottons and linens are used extensively
in fashioning the modish waists for
general use. The flannel waists are
trimmed with fancy yokes and cuffs of
taffeta, with bands of Russian cross
stitch or Persian embroidery and with
the fancy silk braids. Buttons play no
small part in trimming these garments.
The mercerized cottons may be had in
colors as we'll as in the white. When
the material is figured or striped no
additional trimming is desirable. The
coarsely woven white cottons-oxfords
some call them-may be crossstitched
most effectively The embroidered
linen waist retains it's popularity, for
fine work cannot be initiated with any
degree of success.
Peau de cygne, messaline and soft
taffeta are the silks most frequently
employed in fashioning the separate silk
bodice. These waists are usually very
elaborate, both in style and in mode
of trimming. Hand work-both en-
broidery and lace-are used extensively
and effectively. Lace forms very hand
some decoration for these dainty waists
and lace collars, lace boleros and lace
fiouncings are much in demand Chen
lille ornaments and the finer grades of
silk passementeries are also used. The
all lace waists are very pleasing. the
