Orion of WindfaII.

What precisely is the origin of the
expression "a windfall' which Mr..
Asquith, Lord Avebury and others use.
each with an application of his own.
in speaking of budget matters? An
old encyclopedia explains that some
families Of the English nobility held
their land on a tenure which forbade
them to cut down trees, these being
reserved as the property of the royal
navy. But any tree which fell down
without human assistance they might
keep, SO that a hurricane causing u
great "windfall" was heartily welcome.
1t seems probable. however. that the
expression was simpler in origin.
Even an apple that fell to the ground
without the trouble of picking it. and
which a passerby might often annex
without feeling that he was thief,
would be lucky "windfal."-Londo

A SMALL BOOK.

The street car had Just passed the
excavation for great building when
a man on the rear platform who had
the face of an artist or poet asked Of
the one at his elbow:
How many people should you es-
innate were standing around gazing
down into that hole?"
About rs, SIR
And will they stand and gaze all
day?"
Yes, most of them"
They must have thoughts as they
gaze at the men toiling below. If one
could go among them and collect and
write down each mans thoughts what
pages of human life they would make
what book those pages would give
the world"
1T would be very small book. sir.

to bring it out. There would be just
one leaf and just one sentence on that
leaf"

Yes, sir. Those rs men with their
arms on the ratings and looking down
don't have different thoughts. They
all have the same one thought, and 1t
is expressed in the sentence:

men are to work when they could

Is observed that the prettiest Of the
summer models have been carried
over for fall use. and this is especially
the case with misses and children's
effects. Skirts are still narrow and
limp. though reaching out here and
there to trimmed panels that family
suggest drapery; coats still hold their
becoming looseness and small sleeves.
and there is no sign that shirt waists
mean to drop the widening shoulder
plaits for some time to come.
The MILDLY shirt" shown in the H.
Illustration, has had such vogue this
summer and is 30 universally becom-
ing that 1t is vain to suppose 1t will
be banished merely because the sea
son will change. The loose sailor
blouse and the plated skirt which
generally goes with 1t give Just the
ease that girl from IL to IA needs;
anad alternating with fitted frocks
such a get-up is quite permissible In
class. But above all things the combi-
nation is admirable for gymnasium
games, for there are shy girls who
balk emphatically at the bloomer suits
more commonly worn.
Serge and flannel. trimmed as Illus
trated. are preferred materials for the
MILDLY dress, whose primary require
ment is for something that Will stand

VANITY MIRRORS MUCH IN USE
Useful Companion Carried by Almost
Every Woman - Fitted with
Many Accessories.

The vanity mirror is the companion
OF almost every woman Of to-day.
There are glove mirrors lovely
little things that can be slipped into
glove out of sight. or fixed with clip
so that they are always ready for use
in the palm of the gloved hand.
There are parasols with little round
heads that open when spring is
touched and disclose a mirror con-
cealed in the lid.
For use at the opera, or at balls.
tiny mirrors are fitted to fans. so that
the owners can glance into them
without attracting observation. Some
times the little glass is SO placed that
It is hidden unless the fan is opened
to the full extent. Occasionally 1t is
completely out of sight until a secret
spring is touched.
A few women have mirrors fixed in
the lid of their opera glass case. This,
by the way. is very satisfactory
plan, as the glass can be larger than
the ones fitted to fans or the tiny van
ity boxes.

STRENGTH TO BUTTON HOLES

Be Found Very valu-
able.

When making button holes in the
back of a lace dress or yoke 1t Is hard
to get them strong enough. Even
when they do not fray they pull and
stretch in an ugly way.
The next time you have them to
make try sewing fine net or chi1on
as wide as the facing inside the hem
where button holes are to be worked.
This makes three thicknesses to be
worked through. and If carefully In
serted the inner lining will not show.
Another way is to cut a double strip
of fine lawn the size of lace. hem and
haste firmly in place. Cut the button
holes through it. work closely and
later cut away close to the work. There
is no possibility of showing with this
latter method.

venture in Paris in the soft pun OF
silk chiffon, lowered lawn or hand

a mass of velvet, despite the fact that
