Walking along the avenue of an aft ernoon, one might easily think he had exchanged his everyday clear spectacles for rose-colored glasses, so many rose broadcloth garbed maidens does he meet.
 Usually for street wear the pinks and corals are toned down nttle by acces- sories, dark furs lessen the evening dress aspect, and are affected by the lady that has chosen for her tailor suit anything as delicate as one of these rose-colored cloths. If winter gives true promise of spring fashions, the coming season will assuredly be col orful one.
 The very latest wrinkle is the plaid skirt and plain coat, this affected by young girls. It is jaunty style, and when good materials are employed t..e effect is excellent for walking suit. Combinations are very much the thing, the use of different fabrics; velvet and net we have spoken of several times, and may have mentioned the use of chiffon with broadcloth.
 Midwinter styles are sumptuous, rich materials, voluminous cloaks, furs and feathers of a magnificence. Our illus tration shows trio of gowns designed in Paris. and unmistakably Frenchy. But the American women wear them, and know how to wear them. For aft ernoon and evening the long skirt holds sway, and though skirts continue to

FOR A DANGEROUS VOYAGE
Labrador Fisher-Folk Clamor for Berths on Ships in Seal
 ing Fields.

Tn an article "On Floes with a Hair Sealer," in the Technical World Magazine, P. T. McGrath tells of the eagerness with which men engage in this perilous business. About the mid dle of March," says MT. McGrath, ''the seamen gather at s.. Johns to join their ships, about 5000 men making up the crews. They sail on March 10, and so eager are the fisher folk to en- gage in the venture that they will walk 50 or 60 miles through snow- drifts and biting frcsts with kits on their backs to secure a berth to the ice,' as the local rarlance puts 1t. The tonnage of the ships averages 500, and the crews 200 men each, these be- ing crowded into the forecastle be- meath the bows. The holds are filled with coal, which is thrown overheard if she gets among the many herds and has chance to fill up (the coal being worth but four dollars ton and seal $S0), but is consumed in cruising through the foes for scattered patches of the pinnipeds if she is unlucky at the outset.
 "An ample stock of food is also put on board, for occasionally ship is damned in some remote bay by the ice and held fast till June, so that this contingency must be allowed for. Three years ago such case occurred, and part of the crew left the vessel and walked $50 miles through the in- terior to their homes"

and may be trimmed with posies as were these hats.
 We saw a sturdy little man walking along the other day in a trim overcoat of black astrakhan, and were impressed by the fact that black, when properly used is very becoming to children. Box-coat effects are now liked in boys overcoats; here. too, we see the Rus sian blouse pushed back a little by a rival The youngsters want clothes that look like fathers. and the box overcoat makes them supremely happy. Boys from five to 16 are wearing coats of about the same cut Gray is a fa- vorite color in these. and the black velvet color is often seen Cord Bran denbergs are liked for fastenings. and give good touch to the otherwise very plain garments. Caps that can be pulled down over the ears are preferred for the very small boy and affected by tue larger ones when the weather Is pretty cold There is somelhlnE very attrac- tive about a little biack-sozted la6die with a sofi white Shetland tobozzan cap on his head; such a suggestive mixture of man and baby.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

She surely knows just how to dress;
 Her toilets always seem complete, Just perfect dreams of loveliness,
 And feminine from head to feet. No tailored things severely plain She looks on those with much disdain. No thick-soled shoes with square-cut toes
 Or ankle skirts does she affect. High heeled, with sweeping train she goes,
 With daintiest of laces decked, All "comme il faut" and p-to-date, A picture from fashion plate. Her little hands are soft and white,
 The fingers clasped by flashing rings. Her gloves are as exactly right
 In fit as all her other things. It's certain that she never fails To manicure her rosy nails. And she exhales soft perfume;
 No common kind, that's evident Bought by the ounce. I should presume
 It costs ten dollars if cent I think that you would say So if By any chance you caught a whiff Admire her! I should say do,
 And so would anyone think I'd hardly marry her, that's true,
 For there's a fact I cannot blink: I could not so enjoy those frills If should have to pay the bills. Chicago Daily News. -.

Old Neorn,s Discovery.

An old negro who has a 40-scre farm on Choctaw creek. near Sher- man, Tex. claims that he makes q hale of cotton to the acre every year by topping the cotton stalks fin the dark of the August moon, says the St Louis Republic. The topping is said to cause the plant to spread and to put a heavier fruitage on the lower branches. If it be established that his uniformly good yield is mainly due to summer pruning. this humble tiller of the soil on ChOctaw creek has made as important a discovery in cotton planting as that made in cotton spin ming by the mill operative who found out for himself that the thread came smoother and easier by wetting the raw cotton before spinning.

WHEN PRUE
 PRETENDS
By JEAN CoURTENAY
(copyright, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles.l

She began it when she was a curly headed mite of about three. She was just the friendliest, merriest black eyed morsel that ever stepped, and |, 8 long-legged lump of boy, with a stiff tongue and awkward hands and feet in the presence of strangers, fell captive to her fascinations at once.
 Let's p'etend, boy!" she said, with hunching up of plump shoulders and a wrinkling of a button of a nose, set between a pair of the biggest, softest, wickedest eyes I ever encountered.
 She slipped ridiculous bit of hand into mine, and pulled me in the direc- tion of the garden. '='
 After a sheepish glance to see that we were not observed, yielded to her wishes and we walked out into the sunshine. s"Pretend what, kiddie?" I said. feebly.
 "Oh, lots of fings!" she replied, with a sigh of absolute contentment. 'Tum on!"
 And I went.
 It's always been like that ever since. Prue has followed the cratic workings of her own wayward fancies-and I shave followed her. szsa-. ..,.. . Among those of my own sex it is , usually I who do the leading, but l sverily believe that through all those !, fair, long years of youth would have left my boy companions without a shadow of compunction at any mo- ment if little Prue had beckoned me with one fat finger, or coquettishly peeped through her curls in my direc- !, tion.
 Of course she knew her power and never scrupled to use it. She drove slme to the verge of madness when ar rived at dawning womanhood. F Her gipsy coloring and barefaced rogueries won the hearts of innocent males be- fore they were aware of their danger, and she would caress them with a

Note the marked fea- lures of the pictured models; the long lines of the gown, the short sleeves, the plume hats, the rich quality but plain disposal of the trimming Furs of the day are extremely handsome, the great flat muffs most picturesque. We recently had attention called to a broadcloth huff arranged in loose pleats but keeping to the form now fa- vored, and thought how easily and with what good results it might be repro duced by the home needlewoman.
 Gowns for dressy occasions are trim med with lace picked out in gold thread, the effect often very beautiful The Louis coats of brocade silk not in- frequently show tracery of gold thread and we may say here that these basqued coats of brocade worn with plain petticoat are the latest style A beautiful costume was seen the other evening at restaurant dinner; the petticoat of white net embroidered in gold thread, the Louis coat of white velvet, the hat a large white velvet. In connection with this beautiful even ing gown, we would refer to an equally charming creation of peach colored chiffon broadcloth made princess style and worn with bolero of Irish crochet lace.

 Don't be cross, Tony! You made me do it, because you looked so glum 'lriin the corner. It was really all your fodfault!" a--- aFl That's nonsense. Prue," would an- sHsswer, feeling all my anger vanishing like morning mists before the sun.

 Prue became a great heiress, while 1 had little beyond my captains pay. - had never spoken to her of that sweet @ dream, she had seemed too young to : listen. Now my time for speaking was gone-my dream must be forgotten. E I must do the pretending now. < Other engagements - business - any ! thing-must prevent my seeing her often. and a cool. elderly friendliness must be my constant aim. z She began a violent irritation with a young guardsmaD, who was perfectly open in his slavish adoration. watched them together several times, but the sultry weather. or something upset my liver and I felt if I didn't \ get right away for bit I should make a confounded fool of myself-a thing 8 I particularly bar. : "Good-by.

 "Good-by. Tony. You can keep your congratulations till they are wanted Meanwhile. you are a grumpy old bear and oh, so silly"
 You called me 'stOopid.' believe the very first day we met" answered politely.
 "very likely. 1 generally stick to my opinion-and you haven't altered much"
 I heard nothing of Prue or her do- inEs for the next three weeks. for the yacht was bound for nowhere in par ticuIar. and we had left no addresses for letters
 No sooner was I ashore than I drove straight to Prue's house. i felt t would be polite and kind to inquire for them after being away so long. and it would be just as well tn know as soon ss possible whether a wedding present for Prus would be required
