exclaimed the other woman, with a
sigh. "They are costlier than can
tell you. They come far up toward the
hundred mark and you can step over 1t
without half trying" "
From this it might be inferred that
the new waists are extravagantly ele-
CANT, yet such is hardly the case. They
cost great deal of money. But on
the other hand, they are well worth
the price. You get garment which IS
dressy and which will wear a long time
and will do for many occasions, all for
a very moderate sum. H -.
An illustration will best tell the
reader how the new shirt waists COM
pare in price with those Of former
years. In the window Of a fashionable
establishment there hung handsome
evening shirt waist or bodice. 1t was
made Of black chiffon. It was lined
first with silk muslin, then vith taffeta,
all black, and glistening. The shirt
waist was cut in blouse shape, and over
1t all there was little black chiffon
shoulderet, ell made a part Of the
waist. The appearance was something
like an Elton. The entire waist was en-.
broidered In forget-me-nots In the nat
ural colors. And around the edge OF
the Elton there was a little tracery of
jet. The sleeves were elbow sleeves and
they were finished with wide rufhes' OF
: chiffon, embroidered in forget-me-nots
while the neck, which was cut high, was
finished in the same manner.

very becoming to the woman who can
wear it., tho it is rather trying to the
average ordinary mortal.
The tilted hats are SO very difficult

worn at an angle, they are the most
difficult hats one can wear. :,

e n these days of magnificent libra
B ries, splendidly equipped, and
springing up on every hand, it
would almost seem as if there were no
place left for the modest little book
club. Every town of any size and many
small villages may at this time point
with pride to a building wholly devoted
to literature, with reading rooms,
alcoves, goodly shelves properly labeled
and classified as to their contents, and
attended by librarian, who has taken
her course and gained her diploma &C.
cording to the latest methods.
Yet, there are still a good many of
us who would like to own our books
rather than depend on having them tenn
porarily when our turn comes with the
great competing public. Very likely we
cannot afford to spend large monthly
or annual sum to crafty this expensive
personal taste. If, however, eight or
ten neighbors and friends combine and
organize themselves into small in
formal and congenial group denomi-
mated book club, they may be able in
the course Of twelvemonth to read a
goodly number Of the new publications,
and at the end Of the year they may add
something substantial, if they wish, to
their individual collection.

Very little machinery is requisite in
the formation of book club. Ten per-
sons uniting may pay member
ship fee of perhaps So each. With $40
in hand, taking into account the reduc-
tion made by booksellers to those who
are purchasing in quantity, enough
books may be obtained to circulate
freely and even rapidly thru neighbor
hood for the first year.
Rules should be few and simple. A

there were many wings. And the third
was a black felt hat, tilted forward
and trimmed with many black chiffon
rosettes in the back. These three hats
may be said to act as models for the
winter style in hats.
The sunburst crowns are very becom-
ing to the head They are made of silk
or cloth and Of velvet with velvet in
the majority. And the name sunburst
is applied to the peculiar way in which
the crown is shirred, all the folds COM
ing out from the middle Of the crown,
like the rays Of the sun.
Coral hats are very pretty and can be
worn with almost anything. The popu-
lar shade Of coral is rather dull one
and the trimming consists of coral vel
vet and coral colored feathers which
droop at the side. This makes a smart
hat for semi-dress wear.
While speaking OF the black hat and
singing it's praises one must not be
blind to the beauties Of the white hat.

rent fiction and in reading fiction no one
need be afraid that she is wasting
precious time The time spent on a
good novel is time well invested.
But one cannot always choose to adj
vantage by depending on the criticisms
furnished to the newspapers by profess

pie whose business it is to read profess
sionally for the press grow +blase and
weary and seem untitled to render fair
judgments. We all wish to read what
ever book is for the moment on the top
wave. It cannot be an altogether un-
worthy book which wins its way into
the homes Of thousands. We also all
want to read the latest work of what
ever author is popular in Europe or
America at the present exacting and
exciting period.
A committee from the club itself
should personally examine the books
that are purchased and vouch for their
fitness for general reading. Merely
goody- goody books should be excluded.
