Quaker Meditations.

From the Philadelphia Record.
1t is perhaps better to be a spendthrift
than a lendthrift.
Many a girl will knit her brows who
wouldn't darn a stocking.
Most Of us try to forget the mean
things we know about ourselves.
Enough is as good as a feast. but the
average man wants a surplus.
Clothes don't make the man. Many
fellow with a coat-of-arns wears baggy
trousers.
Don't judge by appearances. The man
who wears a diamond pin may sometimes
be really wealthy.
Fear isn't the only thing that will make
a woman change color. witness the
seashore tan wearing of.
The only man who really loves his enc
my as he loves himself is the fellow who
is his own worst enemy.

new HOSIERY DESIGNS
FOR STOUT WOMEN

Many women have noticed the passing
Of the merino and cashmere stockings f"r
wear during cold weather.
Only a very few years ago wooden
hosiery was considered an absolute neces-
sity in the fall outfit. Today, however,
one Is looked at in surprise should she
ask for such an article. This was dis
covered recently when looking at the adj
vanced styles in hose. A lady remarked
upon the absence of any stockings thicker
than cotton, and was told that cashmere
and merino were seldom sold for town
or even suburban use. Nowadays In cold
weather houses. stores and cars are 80
thoroughly normal that the daintier silk
or thread stockings can be worn with
comfort all the year. In the new fall
hosiery the very best invention or i'm
provement in women's stockings has the
black cotton feet and tops above the
knees. with the remaining portion in silk.
BY this combination the wearer has the
advantages OF silk hose, without their
fragility. These stockings are less expen-
sive than silk, and can be secured in
black, tan or white. at such prices as
$1.35. $1.75 and $1.05 per pair In regular
sizes, or $2.95 in extra lengths.
Plain Hosiery Is Correct.
Plain Isle thread and fine black cotton
will be correct for the street this season.
although a few In embroideries will be on
sale for those who prefer fancy models.
For afternoon wear however. stockings
embroidered in self-toned figures are ia
vorites, and, fortunately for women who
like hosiery to match their gowns. these
hose can be bought in practically every
order can be purchased for 1895 a pair
The openwork stockings will cost about
the same sum.
Some of the stockings. have openwork
designs that SO closely resemble drawn
work patterns that q connoisseur would
have difficulty in detecting the imitation.
Another innovation in the autumn stock
ings Is the extra sizes-fOr stout women
that can be bought in either plain or fancy
models.
For women with large feet and ankles
black openwork hosiery will be the better
choice. provided the design runs straight
up and down, otherwise plain weaves
should always be selected.
Silk Stockings for Evening.
It is almost impossible to describe the
fascinating effects In evening stockings.
for there are silk hose so sheer and fine
that they can be drawn through a ring.
These are decorated with appliques of
cobwebby lace or have inserts of lace
that are In their turn decorated with en-
broidery.
Baby Irish and duchesse lace medallions
are applied with good effect to white silk
stockings. and the same kind of motifs
when seen on colored hosiery is. as a
rule, embroidered in the color of the
stocking.
Shaded stockings are only a passing
fad. for they have met with but little
favor.

At this point in the pfaylet I recalled it's Idea as old in a sketch by Twain. in which the humoF was amplihed de- liciously. and the editor returned bare ly in time to eject his substitute and try to save the paper from ruin.
