COSTLY PsTTicoATs. IN VOGUE
Broeade and Silk Are Materials Most
In Use.

The muslin and embroidered petit.
coats have yielded place to the petit
coats of brocade or spotted or striped
silk for best wear. Moirette Is a new
material for petticoats, combining q
silky texture with something which
possesses actual comfort in warmth.
The nipping air does not seem to
drive summer clothes back to The
presses where they rightfully belong,
but each day brings something forth
which has a summer appearance.
However, the p%etticoats Of the sea
son are rather deceptive In that they
are summerlike, yet decidedly COM
Portable. A fine petticoat will cost as
much as a dress skirt. The dainty
knitted ones of a half silk yarn are
pretty, comfortable and not at all
clumsy like most Of the knitted ones,
The cheapest sell for about nine dol
lars. Lined p%etticoats are something
new and there Is a silky looking skirt
neatly lined with a figured material
resembling brocade.

Semidress Dresses.

Every business oma knows the
necessity for the dress which she
must year to the office at times when
going directly from the place Of bust
ness to an entertainment, dinner or
some place of amusement. There
must be something which strikes the
happy medium between the simple
office dress and the elaborate dressy
frock. A good pattern is one Of the
~one-piece dresses, either a princess
dress or one with a Jumper waist and
a dainty white waist beneath. The
plain colored dress. neatly trimmed
with velvet and lace, is always stylish
and looks dainty. A dress of this kind
necessarily demands a separate wrap
and nothing Is more suitable than a
black marchioness which may be said
to possess sterling qualities for the
business woman, since 1t will serve for
many purposes. A picture hat may be
worn neat gloves. and as she leaves the
office II she desires to wear flowers
she can stop at some florists and get
the desired ornament.

THE STORY.

A FAMILIAR knock sounded upon
n the door, and an instant later, |
without waiting for the CHEEKY invi-
tation from within, the young lad
came bounding in, the flushed face
and sparkling eye and eager manner
indicating clearly that he had some
matter Of tremendous interest and I'm.
p~ortance, at least to himself, to com.
municate. In fact so impatient was
he to unburden his mind that he
scarcely responded TO the hearty
words Of welcome which we're spoken
by the elderly man who was seated by
a table near a small. low window.
You will ask father for me, won't
you? you good, dear friend, Nathan"
burst out the lad as he threw himself
at the feet Of the elderly man and
looked eagerly up into his face.
Ask him II thou canst come and
see me %oftener," responded the
prophet, half playfully. half seriously.
Yes, had thought thou hadst quite
forgotten me- And he put his arm
~affectionately about the shoulder OF
the youth and glanced with proud,
glad look into his animated coun.
tenance.
Don't tease me-" pleaded the boy.
Il couldn't come yesterday to see you,
for the Egyptian scholar, the guest OF
my father, was going that day, and |
could not bear TO miss one word OF
the wonderful things he was telling
me-"
"Ah, have | lost my boy to him?'

The use of perfume is one that
every woman should understand. II
toe much is put on, the odor becomes
noxious and cloying, and only the
faintest suggestion is desirable.

most delicate method, is through the
