A MANS BEST FRIEND.

If q man has q good wife he has the
best friend it is possible to have. "A
mans best friend" says Bulwer Lyt
ton, sis a wife Of good sense and good
heart, whom he loves and who loves
him"
In woman there is at once n subtle
delicacy of tact and plain soundness
Of Judgment, which are rarely com
bined to an equal degree in q man. A
woman, if she be really your friend
viii have a sensitive regard for your
character, honor, repute. She will sell
dom counsel you to do a shabby thing
for q woman always desires to be
proud of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidity makes her more
cautious than your male friend. She
therefore, seldom counsels you to dc
an imprudent deed.
A wife best shows her friendliness
by clipping off from her husbands
moral nature little twigs that are grow.
ing in the wrong direction. If he says
anything silly she will affectionately
tell him so. If he declares that he will
do something absurd she will find
means to prevent him doing so. II

FASHION HINTS.

Plaid walking skirts are to be the

Three-quarter loose coats are dis
tinctly swagger.
Yellow is the most modish color to
put with white.
A turban built in peacock tints is a
good fall choice.
Unhappy the woman who doesn't

A feature of fall coats is the square
blocked shoulder, attained by slight
padding.
Very inviting are the new eiderdown
house gowns trimmed with embroid-

The three-quarter basque, close-fit-

has come to stay awhile.
Sleeves that droop thereby charac-

PAINTED BUTTONS.

Hand painted buttons are to be
much used in the fall and winter. One
charming button is made of white
silk, painted with flower. This makes
a handsome decoration for reception
or bridesmaids dress, and is button
that can be used upon gowns or even
more full dress distinction, such as
evening toilet. For evening wear the
hand-painted button is set in a little
rim of Valenciennes lace gathered
around the button. Lace medallions
are growing in use. One very pretty
arrangement shows q row of circular
pieces Of lace arranged across bodice
with narrow strips of lace connecting
them. Each medallion is centred with

ing fur, and the new fur, yetta, which
can be embroidered, is also used.
Moired caracul and baby lamb, be-
ing short haired, will be much seen in
these coats. Pony skin in black will
be another favorite in long coat furs.
Sable paws are being worked up into
coats as we'll as muffs, and while much
less expensive than the sable garments,
the cost Of combining the small pieces
into coats renders them anything but
cheap.
In squirrel skin garments the heads
of the animals will be utilized and the
matching of the stripes will result in
effects quite unlike the furs made Of
whole skins.
The making of these small pieces OF
fur into garments is done in Ger

cheaper than in this country.
Bear, raccoon and fox furs will be
much seen in neck stripes, the long
nap making them a softening setting
for the face.
Flat stoles and pelerines are to be

SOME FEMININE STATISTICS.

A statistician has gone to the trouble
to ascertain that fifty-five per cent. Of
all the divorced women, thirty-two per
cent. of the widowed and thirty
per cent. of the single are engaged in
gainful pursuits. Only about six per
cent. of the married women are SIM
Ilarly situated. While the great body
Of married women are at home attend
ing to the domestic duties which are
naturally set down for them, there is
some hope still that the old order of
things is not going to be completely
overthrown.
The world will not be without homes.
The figures indicate that ninety-four
per cent. of the married men are sup
porting their wives, though the wo-
men are, of course, doing their full
share in maintaining domestic estab-
lishments which are bulwarks of NOR
ais and good order and which keep the
race from dying out.-Chlcago Chron-
icle.
