Short Sashes-

For women inclined toward greater
simplicity there are charming short
sashes which look especially well with
the frocks made slightly short waist
ed at the back. Others consist Of
inch and a half gold or silver ribbon,
weighted with tassels, but q very
good quality of ribbon must be used
IL it is not TO tarnish and this is only
another way of saying that such
sashes, even though among the mar
rowest OF the smart waist trimmings,
are easily the most expensive. A very
good quality Of gold or silver ribbon
will cost from two and a half dollars
a yard upward, while the tassels and
kindred trimmings are corresponding
ly high.
Fichu effects are growing more and
more in popular favor. Flounced
skirts are another Victorian fashion
admirably adapted to summer fabrics.

The Nan Who Wins


The man who wins Is the man who
works
The man who tolls while the next man
shirks:
The man who stands I'm his deep distress
With his head held high I'm the deadly
press
Yes. he is the man who wins.
The man who wins is the man who knows
The value OF pain and the worth Of woes
Who lesson learns from the man who
fails
And "a moral finds In HIS mournful walls.
Yes, he is the man who wins.
The man who wins is the man who stays
In the uusought paths and the rocky
ways.
And. perhaps. who fingers now and then.
To help some failure 10 rise again.
Yes, he is the man who wins.
And thA man who wins Is the man who
The curse OF the envious in his ears.
But who goes his way with his head held
high
And passes the wrecks Of the failures by
For he is the man who wins.

SECRET OF GOOD DRESSING.
A Matter That Is Altogether Apart
from Vanity.

To understand the art Of good
dressing does not show vanity, but
wisdom.
And for a woman TO contribute 20
the charm and beauty of life by uu-
Outstanding the underlying principles
OF good dressing and practice them
in the making of her clothes is to
benefit the world and her ownseif at
the same time.
Good dressing does not necessitate
any uncomfortable compromise with
reform in dress.
More often than not the so-called
reform dress does nothing but make
Its wearer conspicuous.
The question of good dressing Is
more simple than reforms and move
ments. II does not force a woman TO
take a stand and In any ostentatious
way differ from the prevailing modes.
All that is necessary for her to do
is to study her own color scheme, TO
understand the merits and faults Of
her own body and TO select for that
body the clothes that are Just suited
in line and color.
To avoid useless ornamentation and
60 see TO II that the color, texture and
cut Of her clothes are suitable TO her
occupation in life.

Ever the Dream.
Ever the dream at night when falls the
snow
Like down from riven wing.
Or wind-tossed blossoms swept from
boughs OF May
Flecking the robe or spring:
Soft-speeGing messengers of knlghtlier
hours
Beating against the panes
You bring 70 me the wild-crab's fragrant
flowers
From violet-sprinl1led lanes.
Loves magic watts a presence to my
room
With scent OF mignonette
Sprayed In her hair some pink arbutus
bloom.
And eyes OF melting jet:
Lisette. your hand is soft. like long ago.
Come. sweetheart here We two.
These fakes are precious. and though
cold the snow
It makes me long for you.
1 Inger In the cadence OF your voice
AS fancy feeds its fire;
Ny soul re-blossoms as our lips rejoice
In roses, pure desire:
That damasS bloom becomes your girlish
cheek,
And quickens this hearts dead theme;
Though sorrows snow may heap the
drifting years,
You warn me with the dream.

Ministers Poorly Paid

"Of all the professions, that of the
minister is the poorest paid; from
none other is more demanded" says
Cyrus Townsend Brady in the De-
cember Delineator The average cler-
ical stipend is about dollar and a
half a day. Nowadays the simplest
manual labor of the unskilled yarie-
ty is more literally compensated. The
cost of living since the fixed rate of
clerical payment was established has
increased fivefold. Can it be that
the clergy are expected to eat only
one-fifth of what they used to do,
to say nothing Of what they wear?
/ know of churches that are paying
exactly the same salaries that were
paid fifty years ago, while the in
come of nearly every member thereof
has probably increased from two to
five times"

Such a Difference.

"As a matter Of fact even the. nice
women who took any sort of alcohol
ic chaser like beer or light wine,
with their luncheon used to be look
ed upon by the generality of women
as-well, as taking a chance. They
were making themselves liable to be
talked about a little.
Such a difference nowl About ten
years ago, | think, the change began
Women would have their cocktails
before taking luncheon Even that
innovation shocked the more particu-
lar women Plenty of properish Wo-
men remained away from places like
this when they saw that women were
taking cocktails as a FLIP to the APP
petite for luncheon.
1t wasn't long after that before
the women began to come in alone, or
parties of two or three or four, and
order drinks without any food to fol-
low The entering wedge, you see,
was working.
Despite our Watchfulness, some of
the women occasionally take too
much-new customers usually, whose
capacity, to put it in that rather raw
way, we've had no chance to gauge.
And then-Well, the leader of the
orchestra gets the nod to play some
thing thatll make plenty of sound.
There's a place for such women to
lie down for the purpose Of resting
off the effects of their incautiousness.
Most of them prefer to leave at
such times We have cabs or closed
carriages available for them. In such
case we are very glad to spare no
expense, our sole solicitude being to
get such indiscreet women off the
premises.

Better than a sermon that is a
remark which has been made time
and again by clergymen who have
witnessed a performance of The
Holy City" the most successful and
the best of all the religious dramas
ever presented upon the English
speaking stage. 1t is vital, moving
and historically accurate drama deal
ing with the scenes and incidents at
tendant upon the betrayal, death
and resurrection of Christ.
The scenic investiture is a parti-
cularly elaborate one. The scene
showing the Judgment hall of the
high priest is triumph of the scene
painters art as is also the depletion
of the roofs of Jerusalem as seen
from the roof of Herod's palace. There
are nearly a dozen scenes in all,
each one of them painted after pat
lent research and study. The cos
tuning, too, is rich and varied. The

Husbands Come After Wives.

there are some husbands who drop in
here to drink with their wives after
Office hours. Yes, but they are hus-
bands of another kind They come
here to get their drinking wives-to
get them away from here.
Distressing scenes ensure at such
times The woman is chagrined over
being shown up in front of her wo-
men friends, and resents her hus-
bands coming here after her. Then
there's scene, which is not made any
more mild by the fact that the wo-
man has spent the afternoon here
drinking.
and I've noticed that the men who
do this are usually clean, dead sober,
outstanding, self-respecting looking
chaps One of them came here about
half a dozen times to get his wife,
all within the space of a month.

Drinking Women Reverse
Usual Order.

NEW YORK, Nov 90 tSpeciaD -
The manager of a restaurant in the
heart OF the shopping district gives
the results of his observations as to
the increased consumption of strong
waters by women as follows:
There's no denying that women do
drink far more than they used to- he
said Il started in as manager here
eighteen years ago. AT that time, and
for years altarward, no nice woman
wolld have thought CT coming into a
place like this and ordering a glass of
whiskey for herself.
Women with regard for the pro-
prieties might order "a glass of beer
or a mild claret punch or glass of
Sauterine or of some red wine with
their luncheon, but they wouldn't
drink straight liquor in any form
And even women of the careless class
were regarded by US as doing pref
ty raw thing when they ordered a
cocktail, and we watched them to see
that they didn't attract attention by
making any breaks.
