FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1904.

They have been having some rain in England, too, evidently, for Jerome k. Jerome says that ''the happy London CT on foggy day can warm himselr with the reflection that the sun never sets on the British empire. He does not often see the sun, but that is a mere detail. He regards himself as the owner of. the sun; he begins his little day in the British empire, ends his little day in the British en- pire; for all practical purposes the sun is part of the British empire. Foolish people in other countries sit@fhder- meath it and feel warm, but that is their ignorance. They do not know it is a British possession; if they did they would feel cold.''

NEW YORK FASHIONS Patterns For Boys Coat and Cap Designed by
 Martha Dean

In the designs shown here we have a little garment that every little man should possess The reason that he hasn't one is perhaps due to the fact that tslese little short overeoats are very expensive ready made and his mother hasn't felt that she could attempt the making Of such a garment With a good pattern as a guide and a very little cloth, which may be 8. remnant or perhaps a discarded covert coat of an elder brother, any wo- man can fashion a most satisfactory gar ment and the cost is simply nothing. The materials usually employed are cow ert kersey, melton, cheviot, and serge, and the only trimming required is ma chine stitching, or perhaps the addition of a velvet collar.
 Sizes, 2, 3, 4, ,, S, z, 8. 3 and 10 years,
 In the little cap shown in the illustra- ton we have model that is easily made at home It is quite the fashion for boys toa wear cap made of the same material as the coat.

who heard her bid them goodbye,
thought strange OF her calling out to
them at that time of night and remem-
bering her remarks of a few hours
previous they decided to go to her
room and make an investigation.
A little later upon entering the
room. the girls found her lying on
