THE MERRY WHISTLER.

You have never met man VINO
was an inveterate whistler and yet
a thorough scamp.
The whistler usually is cheerful
being, and when one is cheerful ne
cannot be thinking of bad things.
The cheat, the coward, the black
leg, are not addicted to the open
heart and CHEEKY whistle.
The man who will get up in the
morning and make a fire, keeping
warm with a merry strain of yam
kee Doodle Boy" hasn't sour heart
over his task.
The man who makes the coHee
and filings out the front door for the
bakery with Gel Captain" thrilling
forth in one big whistle, is never
the man of mean propensities, who is
keeping tally on his service, to say,
later to his wife:
II make the fires while you lie
abed."
Have you ever seen man whistle
a restless baby asleep? If not, you
have something to look forward to-.
And then when the babe becomes
the small son, have you ever ,observ-
ed this cheerful father teaching his
craft to little Jimmie?
Through his fingers, and through
his teeth, and then the intricacies
of the LIQUID double thrill"
Thus, when Jimmie gets at the
kindling chopping age, he has ac-
quired one of the first principles OF
a coed and desirable mamie is
whistler like his dad. and the envy
and emulation of every neighbor boy.

FASHION NOTES.

Furs are charmingly mixed with
velvet and lace.
Lace medallions, mounted on button
moulds decorate some of the dressy
coats and wraps.
A touch of pink or yellow in vest
or folds often relieves the soberness
of the otherwise all gray costume.
Fashion struck sensible note when
she set her approval upon the soft
smoke gray that is having such
run this season.
Fancy black blouses are quite the
vogue, the trimming consisting of lace
and embroidery or silk folds.
Many will buy the shoes with cloth
tops that are having a wide vogue
this season, for they fit the instep
and ankle snugly and give trim,
we'll set up appearance.
One of the richest of fur coats Is
of sable, long and loose. with deep
band around the bottom, wide cuffs
and tlrned-back collar of the fur show
ing the shaded lines running opposite
to those in the coat.
The wreath of soft pink roses that
entirely encircles the crown of an
artistic hat is supplemented by a
feathery paradise plume which
springs from among the roses at the
side.
A pink silk lining for a semi-trans-
parent cloth gown of gray is dainty
expedient for furnishing this reliey-
ing note.
There is no more fashionable neck
wear Just now than the hand-embroid.

THE AMERICAN WOMAN IN

The day has been when the Eng

dressed woman in the world, while
ever since the American woman "ar-

er been disputed. She has already
taught the world to desire American

And the Englishwoman has gone
about remodeling herself along the
approved lines, until, goodness
knows, one has to admit sometimes
that she is running the favorite a
pretty close second. But it is only
the occasional Englishwoman, who
dresses really well, while large ma
iority of American women manage
IN some way to make themselves look

GETTING RID OF OLD PAPERS.
If you have been tormented by the
blowing about in your back yard OF
papers which have been put outside
to burn, and have not caught tire
from the heap as they should, try
the plan which the residents of a
Long Island town, where the village
laws are strict regarding such things,
have devised. A piece of coarse wire
netting from IL to yards long and
perhaps 81 inches wide, is Joined to-
gether at the ends. When papers
have to be burned, the netting ring
is set in the back yard in some out
of the way spot, and the papers are
packed into it. Then they are set
on fire at the bottom, and they burn
through quickly and neatly, with
none left to blow about and look un
tidy.

WISDOM FOR WIVES.

A country vicar was noted for his
excellent fatherly advice to young
couples he welded. He had printed
cards Of advice, which he used to
distribute besides giving guidance
verbally. One of the cards was for
the man and the other for the wo-
man. That to the woman ran as
follows:
When you marry him, love him.
After you marry him, study him.
If he is honest, honor him.
If he is generous, appreciate him.
When he is sad, cheer him.
When he is cross, amuse him.
When he is laxative, listen to
him.
When he is quarrelsome. ignore
him.
If he is slothful. spurn him.
If he is noble, praise him.
If he is confidential, encourage
him.
If he is secretive, turst him.
If he is jealous, cure him.
If he cares naught for pleasure,
coax him.
If he favors society, accompany
him.
If he does you favor, thank him.
When he deserves it, kiss him.
Let him think how well you under
stand him, but never let him know
that you manage him, says Woman's
Life.

Wealth and wit and honors leave him
Love endures for aye!'

BROWN IS QUEEN OF COLOR.

Brown, then, is the queen of col
ors. and exhibited its merits in the
satiny broadcloths, the lIstrous silks
and shining satins and the luxurious
velvets which were the fabrics en-
ployed in the most artistic gowns at
the openings of the month.
Pomegranate reds, deepening to
warm wine colors, aspire for atten-
ton. The becoming talents of these
charming pigments permit the reds
to set off the compilations of blondes
and brunettes. Everyone cannot wear
brown, but everyone may look well
in red. Neither have the Russian
green's, nor the Gobelin blues, nor
smoke grays, nor prunes, departed.
Accepting the color idea Of rich,
luscious shades, one may enter an
emporium of fashion and rejoice in
the drapings of broadcloths which
are first in fabrics, messaSnes first
among the silks. eoliennes first among
the wooden and silks, and materials
without end-Chicago Post

No, indeed; the individual is the
nursemaid in the household of Mile.

Minister. This nurse wears the gay
head dress and embroidered finery of

is wheeled around in her lazier mo-
ments in a high and still-looking per-
ambulator. Nine. van Swinderen has
induced the nurse to discard her
wooden shoes, but in all other re-
spects she is uncompromising. Her
stiff linen cap, with flying curtains,
her necklaces of gold and silver beads
and her bright yellow gown. which
clears the ground by three inches,

hood of the Dutch legation.-NeW

THE TOO TALKAT1vE MATINEE

Give me a ticket for any per-
Torrance except Saturday afternoon,

the giggling that seem to be an IN
evitable part of Saturday afternoon
performance mar the pleasure of the
earnest theatregoer.

From the beginning the ':girls" of all
ages who are not familiar with the
story of the play make bets with
each other as to which girl the vacll-

forsaken sweetheart call forth an ex-

fetal gems-some new kind of emer-
ais and sapphires which have appear

is manifest that "jewels" are the de-
sire of modern life, and real or false
must be worn. Hence the traffic in

buyers have their troubles. 1t will

the clown, Jacques Legrand cried out
joyfu1ly to his son:
Francois, be happy, child See.
here he is, Boum-Boumi"
A look Of great joy came over the
child's face. He raised himself on his
mothers arm and turned his head to-
ward the two men who approached,
questioning, for mement, who it
was by the side of his father; this
gentleman in an overcoat, whose
good, pleasant face he did not know.
When they said to him, at is Boum-
Boum," he slowly fell back on the
pillow and remained there, his eyes
fixed, his beautiful, large blue eyes
which looked beyond the walls of
the little room and were always seek
ing the spangles and the butterfly of
Boum-Boum, like a lover who pur-
sues his dream.
NO. replied the child, with
voice which was no longer dry, but
full of despair, mo, it is not Boum-
Boum."
The clown, standing near the little
bed, threw upon the child an earnest
look, very grave, but of an mex
pressible sweetness.
He shook his head, looked at the
anxious father, the grief-stricken
right; this is not Boum-Boum!" and
then he went out.
II cannot see him, l will never see
Boum-Boum any more!" repeated the
child, whose little voice spoke to the
angels "Boum-Boum is perhaps
there, there, where little Francois
will soon CO."
And suddenly-it was only half an
hour since the clown had disappeared
the door opened quickly and in his
black, spangled clothes, his yellow
cap on his head, the gilded butterfly
ON his breast and on his back, with
smile as big as the mouth of a
money box and a powdered face,
Boum-Boum, the true Boum-Boum,
the Boum-Boum of the circus, the
Boum-Boum of the popular neigh
borhood, the Boum-Boum of little
Francois-Boum-Bou appeared.
Lying ON his little white bed the
child clapped his thin, little hands,
laughing, crying, happy, saved, with
joy of life in his eyes, and cried
Bravo" with his seven-year gayety
which all at once kindled up like a
match:
"Boum-Boum! 1t is he, it is he,
this time! Here is Boum-Boumi
Long live Boum-Boum! Good day,
Boum-Boum."
And when the doctor came back,
he found, seated by little Francois
bedside clown with pale face who
made the little one laugh again and
again, and who said to the child
while he was stirring piece of sugar
into cup of medicine:
''Thou knowest, if thou dost not
drink, little Francois, Boum-Boum
will not come back any more"
So the child drank.
"Is it not good?"
Every good! Thanks, Boum-
Boum!"
Doctor" said the clown to the
doctor, "do not be jealous. 1t seems
to me that my grimaces will do him
as much good as your prescriptions!
