Aid. Mcclellan fought bitterly to
support the veto and Aid. Ellis wanted
the matter sent back TO committee.
All members OF the committee revolt

are worn smooth. Then Aid. Grindley
explained that the difference In
weight contended for would amount

ton already conducted has cost al.
most that. while further investiga-
ton would entirely wipe out any saw

The aldermen decided that II was
rot worth while TO get the city into

TOYS FOR THE LITTLE FOLK.

- HILDREN'S playthings will be in
existence just as long as this
old world of ours goes round.
Kings may fall and nations
change. but the doll and the rattle are
as immovable as the pyramids. We can
look back many thousands of years and
see the little girl of Egypt playing
with her wooden dollie in exactly the
same way as the modern maiden does
with hor latest Partisan creation. The
lad of Athens amused himself with his
'Horse of Troy" in which small terra
Gotta warriors dwelt, in much the same
fashion as the boy of today plays with
his "Noah's Ark" The toy crocodile
of the ancients that opened and shut
it's month is nearly identical with our
own mechanical whale or monkey. In
the realm of children's toys time is
obliterated.
The inventors do not seem to have
created much that is new in toyland.
There was a wooden pigeon in h early
days of Greece that actually tapped its
wings and flew in the air. In Alexan-
dria we dnd a dancing doll and crude
toys made to represent various ami
mails, which moved their feet and
wagged their heads. The boy of 1908
and the lad of Imperial Rome each was
proud of his new ball, and l suppose
that it will be the same until the
heavens and earth are no more.

FADS AND FANCIES.

Heavy winter gloves with a sugges-
ton of fur and the cosiest of Innings
are formidable barriers to cold.
New hair combs are far wider and
even higher than those of last year.
They have somewhat the effect of a
Spanish comb, being artiflcially carved
in intricate and beautiful patterns.
Apropos of waistcoats some pretty
separate waistcoats, tight-fitting or
loose, severely tailored of mannish
stuffs or handsomely embroidered, are
to be had in some of the exclusive
shops.
A few years ago artistic-looking
lamps were so rare that they could be
obtained only from expensive shops.
Public taste has so much improved of
late that many beautiful ones can now
be obtained at a reasonable cost at most
OF the stores.
Two pins constitute the necessary veil
attachments. One is a long jeweled
bar, to fasten the veil into the hair in
back. It's pin is curved to shape to the
head. A smaller pin of the same design
accompanies it to attach the veil to the
front of the hat brim.
The most fascinating bedspreads are
now shown made Of old-fashioned
chintz. The design is in red, depicts
peacocks and chickens, surrounded by
big, flowing scroll work. They are suit
able only for country houses, but they
form just the correct finish for a room
hung with chintz and furnished in
wicker.

APPOINTMENTS OF
THE MODERN TABLE.

The furnishings for the modern table
are so wholly unlike those of a few
years g hat the great change is
noticeable. In the first place, thu mod
ern table represents money, lots of it,
for the little contrivances are enor-
mously expensive. The round table of
piano finish is the proper kind. Tho
table linen set is sheap at $12, but
more fanciful ones with lace insertion
borders range near the 500 mark. The
best Haviland in new squatty designs,
or the colonial style with thin, break
able stems are again to the fore. The
alluring silver sets are so different
from what they used to be. Finely pol
ished wooden trays are fitted with very
high silver handles. and in the tray
centre will be found the graceful tea
urn with the china and silver cups and
saucers and other necessary articles
placed around it. 1t is intended only
for luncheon hour, from which tea is
served. Chocolate sets grow more beau
tiful every year until a single set is al
most like a group of pretty fragile
flowers. Fruit trays are made with
very high handles and some are made
in novel styles; shallow silver dishes
are used to hold olives, pickles and
cheese. Miniature forks are used for
purposes, and they, too are
more graceful and dainty. The straw
for drinking soft drinks is now made
of silver and found on all modern ta-
bles. There are wine coolers of silver
and porcelain; fiji platters holding egg
cups; pierced silver trays for various
purposes. and quaint milk mugs with
pitcher to match.

One of the most difficult things to
teach a raw recruit is the right way Of
answering the door. When she opens
the door, teach her to open it wide and
to face the visitor fully-not to peep
around the edge. as if %resenting an In
trusion.
If she has to leave visitors in order
to make an inquiry, she should ask
them to stand inside the door and close
it behind them if she a do no more

stale smell in the morning which is
so difficult to get rid of. AT the same
time, all ends of cigars and tobacco

closing the room for the night. This
simple %precaution is quite worth while

where the d~ining-room is used in lieu

is said to disappear entirely.
