a black coat unless black is very becom-
ing to the individual. For one thing,
black is giving way to colors; it is no
longer the smart thing it was. And,
again, a light coat cleans easily, and it
can be used both for day and evening
wear. A pongee coIored cloth or a pale
gray is most practical and should be
lined with a light, Powered silk or a
plain satin. A coat of this description
worn with a white hat and stole is dis
tinctly smart for almost every occasion.
and it covers a multitude of SINS
OF course a coat for evening wear
only is smartest in white or cream
cloth, but this is too conspicuous for
street wear, although I have seen
some daring women wearing white
coats with ermine furs in the afternoon.
The toque shape absolutely leads in
millinery, and no one who aspires to be
fashionable will be seen wearing a large
shape this winter. For those who can
afford it, nothing is smarter than a hat
of ermine in tricorne or boat shape.
This is not as expensive as it sounds,
for it trims itself. If you can't afford
the whole hat of ermine, white velvet or
braid with a band of ermine edging the
bri1n will be almost as effective.

All who read her books carefully must
note the marvelously clear, strong Eng

owes her training in this respect to an

of the English language. For literary

scant respect, with their life destroy
ing rules and canons of so called art
The would be author must do the work
himself, evolving his own style alto
gether- Sarah Grand speaks even rev.
erently of this evolution of style from a
writer's own soul.
In her girlhood little Miss Clarke had
not much time to practice on literary
style or anything else by reason of the
briefness of that girlhood. At sixteen
she was married to Lieutenant Colonel
McFall, a surgeon in the British army
He was widower with two sons, the
elder only six years younger than her
self. 1t is this elder stepson, Haldane
McFall, himself a brilliant writer, who
is now Nine. Grands most faithful
friend and also her secretary in her
home at Tunbridge Wells, England.
When she came to this country lectur-
ing Sarah Grand wore a so called 20
diacal ring. 1t was hammered out by
an east African native. Such rings are
manufactured only in one village of
east Africa. The native made this ring
for Haldane McFalI and told him IT,
give it to his best beloved. Mr.. McFal
put it upon his stepmother's finger.
When the young man was married, a
few years later, Sarah Grand offered to
give him the ring back that he might
present it to his wife, but he refused to
take it The native who made the 20
diacal ring told him it would bring bad
luck if worn by any but the woman to
whom it was first given, so Sarah
Grand wears it still.
The lovely young wife of HaIdane
McFall died early, leaving a tiny infant
to his care and that of the devoted
Stepmother. The child, a girl now sew
en- years old, is the dearest treasure of
both the father and the youthful STEP
grandmother There must be some
thing very gentle and lovable in the ma
ture of a woman who can call out such
affection on the part of her husbands

light around the woman who is one of
the most powerful fiction writer's of her
time.

soft voice with THE sound of exquisite
culture in it. She possesses unique
and fascinating individuality.
In the large way her life is vowed to
woman. She saw in India so many
painful instances of the hard fate of
her sex that the picture remained ever
after before her souls eyes. She is vice
president of the English Central and
Western Society For Woman Suffrage
Wherever she can speak a word for
the rights of woman, industriaIly or
otherwise, she speaks it. So well is her
labor for her own sex appreciated in
Great Britain that some time ago 5000
women presented her with a beautiful

Her ideal new woman" seems to her
the perfect Towering of the feminine
type. She believes every woman should
have equal right and opportunity with
man, the equal right to education, to
choice of work, to entire personal lib
erty of action. But so far from such
right and such freedom coarsening,
they will only make the ever feminine
more feminine STILL delighting in all
beauty and refinement, gentle and low
ing, yet strong, free and noble. There
is not anything coarsening in the culti-
walton of the intellect or the broadening
of the intelligence. On the whole, there

men who do not marry are not capable
of deep affection. There are many and

maintain the average of unmarried wo-

of the extinction of the race. The
opening of countless vocations. the
ease with which women may acquire

had their influence in determining
many to remain in a state of single

WOMAN ON HER TRAVELS.

An experienced tourist says: The
wise traveller does not carry her notes
and gold and tickets in channels bag
pushed inside her corset, which ap-
pears to be with many women the sole
alternative for a loose outside pocket,
easily picked. She has a neat inside
pocket made in the lining of her coat,
where her purse and her little wad of
notes repose in safety. She never puts
them in a purse, which is in a hand
bag, which is on a light chain or strap,
which is hooked insecurity to her waist
or left lying about the carriage, and
she never, never, never slows away her
cash in her trunk "for safety" Her
tickets and her loose change are in a
small outside pocket Immediately come
at-abIe, and her handkerchief, smelling
bottle, ETC., are not in the same pocket,
but in another or in the chatelaine bag,
which is the proper receptacle for such
small articles only.
Therefore she does not keep a whole
train waiting while she is hunting for
ticket that has been firted out with
her handkerchief on to the floor; she
does not keep predding and fumbling
at her garments in a series of heart
shocking convictions that her pockets
have been picked, and she never finds
