Another dry cool week, though it
seems to be gradually warming up some.
Three was trace of frost on Tuesday
morning. Early grain is looking we'll.
Later grain lacks sufficient moisture ITO
sprout we'll. For the last three weeks
there has been considerable threatening
weather, signs of rain, but with little re-
suit. We don't like it to act that way.
When ''all signs fail" then comes the

fore June 10th that never sprouted un-
til after July 4th.

ExTRAvAeAxcE AIDS ECONOMY.

Paradoxical as u sounds. the present
vogue for extravagant elaboration in
trimmings and garnitures is an aid 70
women who must carefully consider the
cost when planning their outfits. Fussy
styles are always more easily counter
feited than palmer and more exact mod
els. Tailoring. whether plain or intricate,
is quite beyond the skill Of the average
little dressmaker. but all the legion Of
elaborate devices in braidings, gatherings.
tuckings. and embroideries. and their al
lied trimmings, need only the skill Of the
ordinary needlewoman for their accom-
plishment, and If good taste directs the
choice of a model. and good sense keeps
its elaboration within proper bounds. a
little gown may be turned out at home
which will be fit TO pass muster in any
company.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

What are the favorite Christmas
gifts?"
This question was put 10 one Of the
superin -endents Of a big department store
on Wednesday.

will consult the heads OF all the depart
ments. and give an answer to your ques-
ton that will be composite Of their

Yesterday he was ready with the in

Articles Of use" he said. ARE given as
gifts in larger numbers this year than
ever before. I include in this category
articles which. although not OF intrinsic
usefulness. may be converted into cash
readily and thus serve a useful purpose.

miums for gold coin, seems 20 have given
the yellow metal decided boom
we find rings. scarf pins. and jeweled
combs in great demand IN the Jewelry

silver monograms for tags OF various

Beautiful fans are sold IN large num-

selection. Harmony with the gowns Of

Travelling bags Of various kinds sell
well. Other leather articles, such as

cases. are popular.
Umbrellas are among our best sellers.
These range in quality from the sturdy
oak-handled canopy OF heavy material TO
dainty creations for women into which
precious metals, fine silks, and even
jewels enter.
.'Modish canes are also having a big
run. Pipes Of many forms and materials
are in increasing demand. Humidors,

cigars in good condition, are selling as

Filmy lace bits bring joy to the soul of

as acceptable are those OF fine linen.
The cravats that are given as Christ

are OF foreign manufacture. The soft
French weaves and the boider English

Gift books are always acceptable.

Furniture is increasing IN popularity
for Christmas gifts. An easy chair for an
old person, a tabouret for a friend, a
modest serving table for a newly mar
ried pair-these are some Of the things
that attract attention OF purchasers in
this department
Allied with furniture are pictures and
rugs. These were never more sought as
gifts than they are to-day. II is well TO
add the comment That the average Of
public taste in the selection of both OF
these essentials TO home comfort has
risen amazingly within the last five years.
Then. Of course. there are the toys for
the children. These are in a big depart
ment by themselves, and the rush OF
shoppers to II is the best testimony that

thing more utiIitarian for these play

realization OF HIS idea
"Of course. there are other gifts than
toys for the children; sturdy REFERS,
warm gloves. cozy slippers. rubber boots;
but the sled, the drum, the express
wagon, the doll, and that new Joy, the

BLACK MODIFIED.

While black is much more to the fore
than for some years past. il is rarely
black unmodifed Even for the woman
who would formerly have been called old
that term is seldom used now-touches
of becoming color and a great deal Of
white lace and jet are used to modify the
sombre tint that brings out bad lines
and every defect in the complexion. Only
the young and fair who possess fiawless
skins should ever permit themselves TO
be seen in unreIieved black. All the soft
secondary cOlorings-the dull, grayish
iilacs. plums, old roses with a touch Of
brown, and grays with a suggestion of
rose-are the, becoming colors for little
gowns when hair and complexion take on
autumnal tones.
The Washington herald., 1907-12-16
FEW MODELS, MANY VARIATIONS

Women who are clever enough 70 dress
very well on a small or moderate expen-
diture usually confine themselves TO a
few becoming styles, and vary the de-
tails and accessories so that few people
recognize their limitations. In fact. such
a plan usually results in a womans 5
achieving a reputation for decided indi-
Tiduality and distinction Of style. though
the primary aim may have been only
economy. Articles in ones wardrobe last
better and don't date unpleasantly, as
they have a way Of doing where ex-
treme styles and those chat obtain a too
popular vogue are followed.

FROM WOMAPS
POINT OF VIEW

we had the most perfect guests at
dinner the other night" a young house
keeper confided to a friend upon whom
she was calling and with whom she had
fallen into a discussion concerning carv-
ing. You know John hates carving and
bungles frightfully even when we ere
alone, so he had particular dread Of the
duty when We entertained the Browns.
What do you suppose happened? They
simply ignored him while he disjOinted 4
duck and I though it the most tactful
thing ever saw"
TactfuI it was and no mistake, and tact
IS so uncommon. It seems, as TO be openly
wondered at and admired. In the world
Of society great stress is laid on manners,
and il must be admitted that life flows on
rather more pleasantly than in places where
frankness to the point of brutality reigns.
There are women who pride themselves
on speaking plain truth at any and all
times, but the cause of such pride is not
apparent to those Of finer feeling. Truth
fulness does not mean words that sting
and dwell in the memory too long for
peace Of mind. 1t is possible to be truth
full and hurt nobody.
II is not well-bred 20 DO a single act
that embarrasses anybody, to speak one
word that stings. When hard truths have
to be told-and there are such times, OF
course-they can be clothed in word:
which are not offensive and delivered in
tone and manner that rob them of al
sting Some men are gifted in this way
