NEW coLoRs AND NEW NAMES.
Astonishing Variety to Be at Com
mand This Season.

The coming season has been her
aided as a season of color. There are
some new shades. and many new
names seem to multiply day by day.
There Is sand brown, very near the
old camel color. 1t comes in a range
of shades. from light to dark.
There is another color rot widely
different, known as gravel 1t has even
wider range OF tones.
The most popular of the taupes and
smoke grays and those which are the
most becoming have the slightest red.
dish cast.
The Thames gray is a variation OF
taupe. with more warmth than is
usually found in taupe.
The color known as lichen is gray
with green in it. 1t is one of the clev-
crest of the faint, subtle colorings OF
nature.
Then there is wood rose and Mag
ara, and framboise, which is like the
flame-colored azaleas. red, with yellow
and a flame suggestion.
Very many of the browns have a
hint of gold in their makeup.
Somehow the colorings are vivid
many of them without being garish.

placed in position, and when this has
been done, the framework of the cup
board is practically complete. For the
roof, hanging triangular piece of
stout canvas should be cut to fit, and
bound at the edges with braid, and
then tapes sewn on at each point
The little diagram B at the top right
hand corner of Fig. explains this.
The tapes are then tied round the tops
of the posts, and the canvas stretched
tightly across, and if cut carefully to
fit, will keep out all dust and dirt
One curtain can be made to pull en-
tirely across, or with a little extra
trouble, two can be made to divide in
the middle, and will be found more
convenient than the one curtain.
In cupboard of this kind, not only
will good deal of accommodation for
clothes be found, but also a valuable
little space on the floor will be en-
closed in which boots, shoes, Slippers
and other unsightly things can be
stored that may not. for time, be re-

rAssELs EASY TO FASHION.
Accompaniment of GirdIe sashes Not
Much of Problem.

Some of the new negligees show
long girdle sashes of liberty satin end
ing In ta.ssels-not separate silken
tassel, but one that is continuation
of the girdle and quite possible of
home make by the dainty maid who
has negligee elegance at her fingers
ends.
Allow eight or nine inches extra
length at each end of the girdle; cut
these extra inches into fringes an inch
and half in width and sew together
the sides of each cut strip; shirr the
end OF each and fasten to it tiny silk
crocheted ball to match.
Now. all of these long finished ends
will form soft. broad fringes of the
curious tassel, and the rows of shirring
that hold them together where they
join the girdle will be drawn into a
ball-like top or heading to the tassel
and stuffed with cotton
This same method may be employed
in broad Persian ribbon to good ef-
feet, or in white satin ribbon, with
gold balls on the fringed ends.

upon undertaking alone, did she relax

warm tears upon my face.

Thus she passed out OF our lives,
and we settled down again, little
graver, perhaps, and little less apt
to treat every subject as a joke. Eliz-
abeth said she did not love the ocean
as much as formerly. while Gabrielle
confessed she often went out of her

pied. AS for me, / often awoke with

Her charity was extended to Mr..
Graham also. and, while no explana-

a mantle of silence, in effect some
what resembling the soft powdering of
freshly fallen snow upon the mire of
the streets.

She was dressed in green, and ser

black and loose. Her eyes, black and
deep, seemed to search me through

she said
"Will 1t be railroad collision or .

PIecina Out the Prayer.

OF curious prayers a writer says: II
have heard layman utter this petition
during the prayer: o, Lord. be thou
with us in our upsittings an our down
risings'-a variant of the text in the
psalms. Thou knowest my downsit-
tings and mine uprisings.' A minister
occasionally introduced Latin SEN
tence into his prayer, and forthwith
proceeded to translate it. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies a quar-
ter of an hour, but long before this Pc
riod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while in this d.
lemma, he startled his hearers with the
words: And now. o Lord, / will re-
late unto thee little anecdote!"

week which followed. Even now do
not like to think about 1t, although
its long days are indelibly photo
graphed upon my mind. l can see Mrs.
Graham walking around with her
stony calmness. directing everything.
and receiving all efforts at sympathy
with the same impenetrable air OF re-
serve and the same proud dignity
which forbade pity and discouraged in
timacy.
We did what we could. which was
distressingly little, and we also suf-
fered not few pangs OF remorse at
having presumed to Judge her. For
we realized this woman had suffered
much and In silence. that she had
loved deeply and been sorely
wounded; and had endured the unen-
durable with loyalty and patience
worthy the admiration we felt and
would have liked to express had she
permitted us TO do so.
We realized also that we had known
her only when exhausted nature had
rebelled at the strain imposed upon
1t. when her vitality had little by lit
tie been sapped away and the long
continued tension of her nerves was
about to snap at this last turning of
the screw. We remembered the many
hours she had spent alone in the bleak
little house. and thought of the things
we might have done with the keen re-
gret that comes when the opportunity
is gone and 1t is too late.
So we were obliged to stand sorrow
fully aloof and watch her prepare for
her last journey with Harry Graham.
We could only hope that after a while

LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times day. Science has found out
differently.
1t Is now a common thing for fam

the following letter from N. Y. man.
II had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician

things to take the place of my usual
breakfast Of chops. fried potatoes, ETC.,
