When | begin letter to you, the
great difficulty is to leave off again.
Oh! how warm it makes one feel to
know there is one person in the world
to whom one is everything, A lover
is the most precious, the most mar
vellous possession. No wonder people
like having them. And used to think
that so silly. Heavens! What an abb
surd person have been. Why. love
Is the one thing worth having. Every
thing else-talents, interests, art, re-
ligion. learning. the whole tremble-
ment. are so many drugs with which
the starved the loyerless, try to drug
their pangs, to put themselves to sleep.
How strange and dreadful love is.
TIL; yen know it, you are so sure the
world ID very good and pleasant up in
thoSo serene, frost-bitten regions

trasting color or finely pleated white

guimpes and trimmings for cloth and
velvet dresses this season. Foreign

ere extremely dressy, and with lace
blouse look brilliant and charming

Browns. Blues and Grays Rule.

Writes a discerning American
woman in Paris to a New York
friend: Browns, grays and blues
are to be the fall colors. In pur-
chasing brown make sure you get
wood, snuff or tobacco shades. The
latter is very becoming. Dark gun
metal grays, known in London as
smoke, are attractive. Blues are
coming in. The new pony coat is
making hit with the woman whose
hips are not larger than her shout
ders. Her Louis XIV. coat is proper,
gives an air of slenderness to the
woman with good shoulders and
bust, whose hips are not too large.
Sleeves are three-quarters length
no longer"

The Newspaper an Educator.

Speaking of the value of the news
paper as an educator Mrs. Sarah Platt
Decker, president of the Federation
Of Women's Clubs, said short time
ago:
Women are losing in the business
world and all around simply because
they don't read the papers. l am de-
voted to newspapers. While l don't
read the yellow stories and the blood
and thunder things that some of the
papers print, read the papers and I
believe that anyone who will thor
oughly read one good paper will be

Migratory Sheep.

There are said to be 100000
migratory sheep in Spain, which ira
vel on occasion as much as 200 miles
from the plains to the mountains.
They are known as transhumantes,
and their march, resting places and
behavior are governed by special reg
ulations dating from the fourteenth
century. At certain times no one
may travel the same route as the
sheep, which have the right to Craze
on all open and common land on the
way.-Chicago Journal.

ilk, while the waist proper is of

silk, while the waist proper is OF
wool.
The waist is made with a fitted
lining and consists of the front and
the backs. These last are laid in box
pleats, and the front also is laid in
inverted pleats, while between the
pleats there are groups of tucks that
provide soft and becoming fulness
below the stitchings. The waist is
arranged over the lining, which is
faced to form the chemisette, and
the yoke completes the upper edge.
The sleeves are of moderate size, in
the fashionable three-quarter length
finished with shaped cuffs, while the
girdle is smoothly fitted and gives
the latest lines to the figure
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and three

Lace Initials New.

1t is an open bit, as open and lacy
as can be, the only heavy part about
it, the strong little edge, and the
letter, which apparently happen"
right in the centre. Even if there is
no lace on chemise or corset cover,
such an initial adds a pretty little
touch of individuality without adding
the work of embroidering.

Black hats with light garnitures

Benches on Vessels May Be Rear

When travelling on the sea it would
be a great comfort to passengers to
know that in case of a wreck or storm
ample facilities were at hand to pro-
vide for such an emergency. The
limited space on the majority of
ocean liners does not permit of hav-
ing on board many large lifeboats

Hats of Silk and Crepe.

Wide picture hats are more often
of silk crepe or ribbed silk or uncut
velvet than of pile velvet. Ostrich
plumes hold first place for the garl
nitures, and one sees more loosely
curled than uncurled feathers,
though the latter are worn.

Robbnq Society Women.

It is calculated that society women
at Newport and other fashionable sum-

over 100000 worth of jewels in the
season just coming to an end. Very

Stuyvesant Fish, fortunate enough TO
recover their property.-Kansas City

stars and Stripes on a Hat.

Positively a new use has been found
for the American flag. A woman in
her travels by trolley the other day
had the pleasure of occupying the
same seat with a girl who wore a
marvellous hat. At first glance 1t look

ton it was seen that the red and white
stripes about the brim and the blue
and white rosette in front were formed
by careful arrangement Of the Stars
and Stripes.

Thinos That Annoy the Sick.


Nothing is gained, and much time
that is very valuable is wasted, by al
lowing ourselves to become nervous
and unable to be of the slightest use
in the sick-room.
Although we may consider a person
too i'll to be aware of what ts taking
place about him, he Is sometimes fully
cognizant of the merest trifes, and al
ways more or less susceptible to any
and all things going on. For that rea-
son, conversation about the condition
of the patient carried on in whispers,
or in any mysterious manner, should
be avoided, and an air of quiet cheer
fulness always maintained.
Nothing is so annoying as to be
continually asked if we do not wish the
pillows changed, the bedclothes
Strengthened, the blinds closed or open
ed, some nourishment brought, or any
small details attended to. Better by
far to see for ones self and do quietly
without disturbing the patient. Par
ticularly if they are disposed to sleep,
do not at once get newspaper of the
kind that has the greatest possible
amount of rattle in it, and seat your
self in rocking chair regardless Of
the possible effect it may have upon
the nervous condition of your friend.
When it is time for nourishment or
medicine, be prompt to give it, but
always without talking over it too
much; and if it is the bitter cup that
is to be prescribed have something
agreeable to follow, and a CHEEKY word.
If it is the food or broth, have it pre-
pared outside the sick room and
brought quietly, and, above ell, in an
attractive form, bearing in mind that
little, daintily presented, will be
much more acceptable and rartaken Of
with more benefit than a larger guam
tity.-Ledger.
