A Velvet Costume.

'"The woman who is planning num-
Der OF new gowns for her fall aud win
ter wardrobe this year should have one
costume of velvet" writes Grace Mar
garet Gould, the Fashion Editor, in
the October Fashion Number of the
Woman's Home Companion. "In fin.
ish and coloring the fabric was never
loyelier, and from the fashion point OF
view it is specially high style. One OF
the most fashionable designs for a vel
vet costume is the new redingote
waist and full seven-g ored skirt This
costume is made of forest-green velvet
deliberately embroidered in silk braid
in two shades of green, or black may
be used if preferred. The waist is OF
white filet net over chiffon and silk.
Broadcloth is another material spe-
cially suited for calling and church
gowns. In light shades it will also be
much used for evening wear.
"The new fancy broadcloths in soft
plaids, checks and stripes are being
much used by many of the most
fashionable dressmakers. Plain broad.
cloths, however, are still in demand
for the demi- tailored costume. These
plain broadcloths deliberately braided
will be much the fashion"

DESIRABLE QUALITIES IN A WIFE
l.-LOye and CheerfHlRess.
BY Ella WHEELER M1noox.

BY ELLA WHEELER Wilcox.
There are two words much employed
in the world, old, old words, but in
them is the essence Of all that makes
for happiness in home life.
These words are love and chserful-
ness.
| heard man say his first, last and
only demand in woman was a power
Of loving, quality possessed by few,
SO he thought.
Perhaps he was right.
The majority of women seek to re-
ceive rather than to bestow affection
especially is this true of American
women.
But we're I man aud did know
the sex as now know my sisterhood !
would make my plea to the Fates in
this wise:
"Give me, oh, kind Destiny, COM
panion with the capacity of loving and
and the habit Of cheerfulness."
1 have known loving women who
we're monuments of melancholy.
In some natures love takes morbid
phase and is soon so mingled with
Representatives, and jealousy that
it is like sweet cream turned acid and
less palatable than skim milk for a
steady beverage.
Love and cheerfulness are the quail.
ties which make a woman an adorable
wife, an inspiring mother, a perfect
friend.
Many woman loves her husband &c
unselfshly that she would die for him,
yet she makes him miserable with hen
melancholy outlook on life.
The woman creates the atmosphere
of the home.
Il Upon her devolves the responsibility
of creating the climate in which hel
family must dwell. Whether tina
dom este climate is perpetual spring
summer, autumn or winter, she de
cides it by her attitude of mind.
No matter how little she has in hel
life to make her an optimist, yet if sh,
is born with, or has cultivated, hope
full, cheerful and humorous way o
,
looking at things her home will AWAY
be center for husband, children anC
friends. They will seek her presenc
as tourists seek a warm climate il
winter.
Such a woman, with a delicate ply
sique, small means, many worries an'
husband inclined to take life mourn
fully, has created Paradise for he
whole family and enabled those nea
her to surmount mountains and sur
vive floods; and she has turned defea
into victory and sorrow into Joy, jus
: by her persistent optimism, and ioyfu
serenity.
No genius, no beauty, no charm O
manner can compare with such habi
of loving cheerfulness in a woman.
She seldom plays the role of deserte
: wife.
Men often tire of beautiful, gifte
and good women, but they rarely tir
of woman who makes life continu
GUS fete day by her delightful sens
of humor, her mirthfulness aud he
capacity for loving men. Being lover
of comfort, even the most selfish an
immoral of men, when welded to th
women who irradiates these two quail
ties, find themselves more comfortabl
i, in constancy than in seeking after ne
pleasures.
. All hail to the cheerful woman!
= She is a power for good in the un
verse.
= She is worth more than diamond
and rubies and mines and estates
the fortunate man who possesses ht
l. com partnership.
4 And her children will rise up an
a call her blessed.
