The belt is one of the most impor-
tant accessories in the summer ward
robe. Kid reigns supreme for outdoor
wear, but the deep. 1890 girdles OF
heavy MORE antique or trishaded soft
Louisine ribbon are the correct things
for setting of the fluffy frock. with its
frills and fiounces.
There was time when woman
thought one belt a season all that was
necessary. Times have changed. and
now she must have at least dozen
leather and silk belts to be at all well
strapped together.
The most chic kid belts are six
inches in width and are finished in
the back with three scallops and three
fiat brass buttons of not extreme size.
The fastening may be brass buckle,
eight inches long, with long, sharp
prongs piercing the kid. The buckle
alone costs 81.

imported buttons of the kind that puts
some jewels to shame are employed
in its construction.

ORIGIN OF THE LOVING CUP
Handles-Due to an Awkward
Servant.

The presentation of loving cups is
more than ever the fashion, but while
these three-handled vessels are COM
mon enough. their origin is not gen.
orally known. Here 1t is:
King Henry of Navarro, while hunt
ing. became separated from his COM
panions, and, feeling thirsty, called at
a wayside inn for a cup of wine The
serving maid, on handing it to him as
he sat on horseback, neglected to pre-
sent the handle. Some wine was
spilled and his majesty's white gaunt-
lets were soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that a two-handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this, so he had one
made at the royal potteries and sent
it to the inn. On his next visit he
called again for wine. when. to his
astonishment, the maid (having re.
ceived instructions from her mistress
to be very careful of the kings cup)
presented it to him holding it herself
by each of the handles.
At once the happy idea struck the
king of a cup with three handles
which was promptly acted upon, his
majesty quantity remarking: Surely
cat of three handles shall be able
to get one"

THE ToILERs.

Our legs and our arms are the toilers
That bring us our ease:
They serve as we wish to direct them,
And not as they please.
We proudly put burdens upon them,
Not asking their leave:
Without them how could there be glory
For us to achieve?
They ave the toilers that bring US
Contentment and pride;
The thrills which come after long hoping
The workers provide:
The pleasures we taste and the pleasures
OF body and brain
They patiently labor to give us
And what is their gain?
Shall we foolishly add to their burdens.
With never a thought
Of their weariness or of their aching,
Ignoring their lot?
How stupid were such unfair treatment,
And where is there one
That would thus wrong the toilers whose
service
Is faithfully done?
They that arise in the mornings
To weave and to hew
To plow and to SOW and to hammer
The long seasons through.
Are the legs and the arms that earn pleas.
ure
For those that have pride:
The thrills and the wealth and the splende
The toilers provide.
