chased; or, if hung overnight at room
temperature, it may be ready for use

The Refrigeration Congress il
Paris passed resolutions favoiing a
wide expansion OF cold storage plants,
and declaring that commercial condi-
lions required leading centres of pro-
duction and distribution TO be
equipped in this way. The pre-cool-
ing system for all fruit before ship
ment was indorsed. The facilities

frigeration as much less fully deyel-
oped in Europe than in this country,

conclusions regarding poultry in cold
storage sustained tine point OF view
OF the dealers and the cold storage

poultry kept in cold storage eighteen
months remains perfectly healthful,

Strange Coincidence in peaths.

A strangely pathetic tragedy has
been revealed by the death of man
in the casual ward of the Tonb-idge
workhouse The man arrived there
in the prosecution of his search for
his wife, from whom he separated
many years ago, and he died through
breaking of blood vessel.
He told his story to the workhouse
master, who made inquiries and as
certained that on the same day a
woman had died from a precisely
similar cause in the same workhouse.
1t was the missing wife. Both bodies
are buried in one grave to-day 49,

Tong Sleeves.

The long transparentsl of net or
chiffon. which has to so considerable
a degree replaced the short combina-
tion sleeve of the dressy frock, is more
chic in color matching the frock than
in white It must, however, match
the guimpe, and a dark guimpe is al
most universally unbecoming.

Match the shirt Waist.

The separate waist is still permits
sible if it matches. Very smart, in
deed, are some costumes showing en-
tirely separate blouses made of tucked
net which exactly matches the cloth
used in the skirt. All of the shops
are showing these heavy nets in the
new colors of the season, and very
little trimming is used with the net
blouses, unless it be fiat pipings or
crochet buttons. Dotted and plain
Brussels net is in favor, but most pop
ular is the coarse, square-meshed
fiIet.

THE GoBBLER's ESCAPE.


Thee was greta excitement in
the barnyard. Mr.. Gobbler had Just
rushed in with the news that awful
christmas day was coming. What
should they do about it? They had
all escaped Thanksgiving, for the
family had gone away, but they
couldn't be SO lucky twice. The
hens and ducks all gathered around
the turkey, and with many quack
and cluck and gobble and several
Observation-Disclosures, they talked it
over. At last they decided the only
way to save themselves was to run
away.
Two days before they would all
start for the woods, and they would
stay there until it was all over.
When the day for starting came
they all felt very sad. 1t was cold,
and they hated to leave their nice,
comfortable house and go out to
roost in the trees.
And then what could they find to
eat in the woods in winter? as-ee
That was serious question, and
they were all most unhappy.
The Turkey Gobbler had just got
them all in line to march when they
were stopped by the good news the
lame guinea hen brought from her
special nest under the porchc.
AS soon as she could get her
breath she said, Il was taking a sun
bath on the steps by the kitchen
door, when l heard our master tell
his wife that they are all to go to
town for Christmas this year, and
he was so glad, because he didn't
like to kill his gobbler.'.. ,...-..
The Gobbler was glad, too, but
he only said, $50 they'll have to
eat one of those skinny city bred
fellows. Serves 'em right They'll
appreciate me when they do get
me-" And the. line broke up, and
everyone went to the watering
trough for drink

Paris is again enthusiastic over
brown, and the very latest fad in
brown furs is Ipson-a pelt that
has a marking like chinchilla, but
in a warm brown tone. Such a
coat is dressy enough for after
noon calls worn over dainty frocks
of cashmere or the soft permo
stuffs so much in vogue now.
The long silk jersey so long used
as a foundation for dress is being
much cused as waist to wear vln-
der long tailored street coats. The
close fit of the jersey preserves the
set of the coat and the woven silk
is warmer, as wei as less bulky
than the waist of cotton or French
flannel.
The side frill finishes front plaits
of all kinds of waists and Is of
many sorts. With lace waists 1t is
of lace or silk, and with lingerie

AS a pIle it has border on the

Some very handsome ones are of

There is a predominance of dark
costumes and black ones worn even
by young girls. But the latter often
have a CLINT of bright color or gold
to set off the sable effect. A par

Gently was of broadcloth made with
plated skirt and long, slender coat
far below the knees. Under the coat
was an odd little double breasted
waistcoat of cardinal red satin with
brass buttons. The yoke was of
white lace.
The lovely gold and silver gal
looms found in the upholstery de-
partments suggest a host of uses
for hats and gowns. The gold and
silver galloons made for curtains
and hangings have to be of a quail
ity that will not atrnish, and they
make excellent hatbands, buckles
and other trimmings.
