Some years ago while at work, fell

OF my shins. My blood became poisoned

that If they were healed up the result

were prompt and gratifying. 1t took

RELIABLE FASHION NOTES.
and Describes Two New
Shirtwaist Suits.

Nine. Baker, the famous fashion ex-
| pert, chats Interestingly about the lit
lie things that stamp the costume as
good or bad, in the American Dress
maker. Among other things she says
hat the short skirt should set out a
little in the back as our old godet
backs used to; this effect is. only given
0y the narrow crinoline facing across
The back. The skirt must always tilt
Up little; if cut the same length all
around it will have this look.
1t has been thought that the long
coats or redingotes could only be used
with the sweeping skirt, but if they set
out we'll in the back they can be and
are worn with style. These long coats
seem to call for lace cravats. and the
latter are very prettily made of wide
net lace insertions, either tied in loops
or knots drawn through finger rings.
Belts are of every shape-wide or
narrow, as best suits the figure
Winter gowns will have the same un-
lined collars, cuffs and small yokes that
have been used this summer, and sep
arate yokes and collars or chemisettes
and undersleeVes have come to stay.
Isn't it comfort to have something
for the neck that is easily removed and
cleaned?
No more pendants are used, even on
elaborate evening coats, but stiff, fat,
old-fashioned velvet bows are on
everything.
Many skirts are following the lines

POLITENESS ALWAYS WINS.
It May Not Always Be Appreciated.
But Courtesy, Like Real Virtue,
Is Its Own Reward.

Very homely and apparently coarse
is the saying that honey catches more
flies than vinegar" 1t is, nevertheless.
a self-evident truth, and when it is
applied as a metaphor to our daily
intercourse with our fellow-creatures,
1t proves marvel of understanding.
The man or woman who goes through
life with scornful lip and tilted chin,
casting derisive glances, or worse, none
at all, upon near and far is likely to
find himself or herself at a loss for the
helping hand when it is most needed
The pleasant salutation; the few
moments interchange of remarks anent
the weather, or equally general topics,
with the passing stranger, hurts no
one, not even the most exclusive. And
sometimes. many times, it becomes a
case of the angel entertained unawares
and an acquaintance that is very much
worth while results.
Quite true is it that courtesy may
ind itself defeated by the brazen i'm
pudence Of some detrimental; but. as
1t is better to be cheated a thousand
times when bestowing charity than to
let one deserving case suffer, so it is
better to be courteous than disagree
able. polite than rude; and one always
feels so much the better for the inter
change of well-bred greetings than
when one has met a well-meant ad-
vance with the naughty stare of su-
periority Cincinnati Enquirer.
