 CORDED SILK HOUSES. | Surely the weather vane of fashion

 For instance. with e coat suit of blue homespun fastened with black corded silk buttons there is a crepe

 these Is money thrown away. FUR BANDS REVIVED. Another old fashion that has been
 of cloth coats and long cloth wraps
 with fur. The reason of this is that
 the season is to be fur winter. | So many semi-precious peits have been discovered and made available
 for women's use that they are first

 Even soft silk casntneres. which are
 to be prime favorites for elaborate house gowns, are banded with skunk.

 IF YOU A NURSE WOULD BE. Expend much time In earnest thought

 TACT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
 It is not possible to reform the world in a day, and since our friends cannot be made over to order. let us give them. by way of an annual expression of good will. something that they want or may most likely want. and not what we think they ought to want. Trying to reform them in jiffy will result only in the right gift to the wrong person. They will sum 1t up. mentally, as the wrong gift to the right person. although they generous ly will not make the open comment. Travelling helps are not for the stay at-home. Tracts framed and done Il old English lettering are not accept. able to the irreligious Smoking setS 1 and decanters are not the natural gift for the total abstinence man. and the
 eard-case for the woman who never calls Is out of place.
 If these mistakes have been yours in 1 the past. don't give up. but try again.
