POPULARITY OF
CORAL ORNAMENTS

Coral has come into high favor with a
rush, and some of the things shown In
that jewelry are tempting enough to make
even the woman who can't wear coral, be-
cause pink isn't becoming, lay in store
of it Just to finger and admire.
It's the dominant note In one OF the most
beautiful autumn displays of new jewelry.
Apparently it is to be worn In the hair
and around the neck and dropping from
the ears and on waists and at the throat
and on the bags carried.
There are several shades Of coral, and
where the harsher red tones are impossible
those Of soft rose pink will usually be
found very becoming. In this paler shade
there are lovely strings of beads, each like
a delicate little rose. Lovely, too, are
strings of pink coral beads alternating with
little gold filigree heads.
One Of the prettiest necklaces is a fine
gold rope with a pale pink coral rose set
in front and on either side several long
pendants of pink coral,
There are small coral balls to set close
in the ears. but the newer earring is
long tear-shaped drop OF pink coral, little
deeper in tone than a family flushed cheek.
Lovely is a vanity case OF chased gold
studded with rose pink coral. Halreomb
tops are decorated with these pink stones,
too. and one of the most exquisite has an
etched gold top. with pinSy white cameo
set in the centre and round pink corals
dotting the rest of the top.

NOZk5az&9 ,
a Woman and Her Manner.

A woman ought to cultivate pleas
ant, gentle manner always. Perhaps
she does not know that when she
scolds and claws" and frets about
every little thing she is constantly talk
ing little tumbles in the estimation of
those about her while the praises of
her philosophical, sunny-tempered sis
ter are being sung for the ediflcation
of all who will listen.
The fault-flnding woman seldom has
much fun in this life, and it is pretty
safe to wager that she will not get
much out OF the next. Ten to one she
will begin to complain because her
wings are not quite as long as those
of the angel who stands next to her,
or she might have something to say be-
cause her white robe hasn't the latest
width hem.
A man with a crouch is bad enough
in all conscience, but a woman with
the same affliction is a great deal
worse.
Not that l would excuse a man for
being grouchy-far be it-but for some
reason or other make a certain allow
anee for him, while we can never quite
forgive the woman who permits little,
petty things to cause her to hide her
smiles under bushel of frowns.

She's sweet little girl, as all her friends
will testify, and she has hosts Of friends,
too, and in the very near future she is
going to make a certain well-known young
man happy as his life partner. But with
all her good qualities she has one silly
little notion in her head that more ex-
perienced friend is trying to rid her Of
She is already planning and saving to
buy suitable Christmas gift for her
f1ance, and to this friend she has turned
for advice as to what would be the most
suitable gift to give.
IT am so undecided she said to her
friend, II don't know whether to give him
diamond cuff links or diamond scarfpin
now which do you think would be the
nicest?''
She fairly staggered when her friend
replied, Now don't do anything SO fool
ish; buy him some nice linen handkerchiefs
and embrolder his monogram on them
yourself, and he'll like them just as well
as if you bought an extravagant gift"
AS matter of fact this nice little girl
cannot afford to buy diamonds and If she
buys them she will be stinting herself
She earns SIS a week. buys her own clothes,
pays her board and tries to save a little
out of that for the proverbial ''rainy day."
while the man in question has '1ots Of
money! to use a well-worn phrase. and
would appreciate even souvenir post card
from her, he is so much in love with her.
To be sure her inclination to give Is
generous and lovely and worthy Of some
admiration, but she must learn 1t is not
wise to lavish expensive presents on men,
not even the man she's engaged to marry.
It's just as well, girls, to keep your gifts
until after marriage, and to remember
There's many slip 'twixt the cup and
the lip
Don't buy diamonds for the best man on
earth unless you're married to him.

Regarding Advice.

1t seems to me that every day we
find more and more people who seem
to have nothing to do but give advice
to others. 1t is a wonder they do not
"take a tumble" and practise a little
of what they preach.
I wonder what would happen IL,
when advising people to carry out a
certain plan of action, they would then
and there state their willingness to
stand for the consequences that might
ensue If their suggestions We're car
ried out.
1t would not be long before everyone
would be believing in and following the
old saying that "a close mouth makes
a wise head
DO not give advice unless you are
convinced that 1t is sincere and that
you would do exactly as you are tell
ing Others were you in their places.
Better still, do not give advice at all.

THE NEWEST BELTS.

Printed kids and repousse kid are much
used for the composition of the new belts,
which are fairly wide and straight all
around, or shaped narrower in front
One of the newest ideas Is a belt of tan
colored suede, with one of the ends cut out
as fringe.
Soft and charming are the wide belts
of gold and silver cloth and matelasse.
embroidered velvet silk and saril
and China silk ribbon with velvet border.
Other belts are of Hain suede with
merely very handsome buckle for orna-
mentation.
Others ara of soft glazed leather, in dull
pastel shades, with odd figures and de-
signs printed over them in contrasting but
not aggressive colors.
Coral buckles. in quaint rose bouquets
adorn many of the black silk webbing
belts.
