Millinerymania.

What Did You Wear When
 You Met Him?

Few women ever forget the frock they wore the first time they met the man they afterward married. One lady, mated to a very celebrated man, says the first oc- casion on which they met she had on a tumbled, torn, pink cotton gown She was beautiful, and very young, had been climbing a tree and was all in tatters, like the begga~ maid whom King Cop hetua chose as his Queen.
 Another well-known lady of thrifty tastes wore a sober brown silk gown, which she had turned best side out; while among various friends I know one who had on "a bathing costume" another "the horriblest old frock ever seen." and a third a big cooking apron, while a fourth had rolled up her sleeves and was washing blouses when fate gave her the first peep at her future lord and mas tpr

A Thought of Today.

One must accept life as it is It gives us great happiness if we are wise enough to see it, and it balances the scales by sending great sorrows, too. But that is life. If you would make the world bright CT, try to forget your hurts, dry your eyes, and turn to help those who need the pressure of a friendly hand, the en- couragement of smiling look.

Henry VIII gave Cabot his commission which led to the discovery of North America, Columbus actually discovered America, and the Pilgrim fathers landed at Ply mouth on Friday. Once more, the first newspaper lad" and the first newspaper printed by steam power C'The Times'D, both appeared on Friday; while the stamp act was repealed in England on the same day of the week.

Don It's for the Fall Season.

DON'T catch cold.
 DON'T sleep with your dead out of the window.
 DON'T boast of not feeling chilly when your nose Is as red as beet
 DON'T arrogantly pooh pooh your neighbor when she says she has put on her winter underwear, and boast of not having done so, when you know you wear the same, summer and win- ter.
 DON'T kick because the furnace does not work, when you have had all sum mer to have it fixed.
 DON'T invite your neighbor into cold room, when she has come with her knitting and the latest gossip to spend the morning. Play freeze-out some other way.

A Point of Etionette.

It is now considered in good taste for those who are giving large enter tainments to send invitations to those in mourning. The question comes up how to answer them. Some women think it is not necessary to acl1nowl- edge invitations in any way when they are in mourning, but this view is ipcor- rect. Of course, no one in mourning will be invited to luncheors or dinners or theatre parties, but cards will be sent them for exclusive affairs. They should always acknowledge in the con- ventional form. They give no reasons for declining, because the mourning border on their paper is sufficient req son.
