Quilts braided in gold and silver are

The Dutch and Elton collars are
promised renewed popularity.
Tassels are as popular as ever for

A novelty in a checked. suit is to

Long lace sleeves are feature of

The general tendency is away from

One of the leading dressmakers of
Paris is showing more black gowns

Among the colors that will be much
worn are the blues, pink, brown and

Newest skirts show a combination
of the popular princess panel and the

Plated bows of bengaline silk, the

wOmnn's Charm.

Individuality WOman's Charm.
The charm of woman lies not in
beauty but individuality-if she could
but be brought to understand that fact.
1t isn't the details that count. 1t is, as
Trilby says, "the altogether''-h car
rage, her manner, her voice, her ex-
preston; in short, herself-that makes
or unmakes her charm.
1t is the woman, then, who has the
courage to be herself who attracts.
Originals are much more desirable
than copies, no matter how accurate
the copy may be. If 1t be natural to
wear ones hair in carelese fashion, by
ak means do so; nature is never mis-
taken.
But let the admiring sister whom
that same autocrat intended to be a
tailor-made girl beware of disorder; in
her it would cease to be artistic; 1t
would simply be untidy.
Let every woman dare to be herself,
develop her own individuality, not
blindly copy some other woman, whom,
1t may be, her husband happens to
admire.
Let her think for herself, act for
herself, and express her own honest
opinion. Individuality when combined
with that nameless something called
manner Is the most potent weapon
in the possession of the sex. 1t is this
which has given many a homely wom-
an reputation for beauty which a
bona fide beauty with faultless face
and figure has sighed in vain to attain.

A Governors Busy wife.

Mrs. E. F. Noel, wife of the Gov
ernor Of Mississippi. is one of the
busiest women in the United States.
Conservation is her hobby. She has
formed several women's organizations
and almost the entire State has been
divided into sections in each one of
which is body of women pledged to
some particular effort aiming at the
conservation Of the national resources.
Above all else, however, Mrs. Noel is
interested in the conservation of the
human race and she has devoted un-
told labor to the establishment of
classes for the teaching of the ele-
mentary principles involved in car
ing for children and i'll persons. Her
organization Of trained nurses is
growing fast and already has achieved
notable results.

the matter was too far gone for that.
Du2pnceau fred quickly, steadily, then
wheeled and ran for the dunes. Bullets
chased him, ploughed into the sand be-

miracle failed to hit him. He reached
the nearest sand-wall, and was hidden
from Us, A moment later and we saw
him appear, his pistols reloaded. and
watched him stand again at bay and
shoot. Then again he fed for the next
dune up the beach, and the pursuers, tenn
porarily stayed, were after him again.

It was some little time after this when

into that silence from which it had lust

shook hands with her. "Good-by, Felix.
If you ever hnd this place too lonely for
you, come and see me in New York.
Things do happen there sometimes, though
not such things as here in Alastair."
We shook hands, and caught a
glimpse Of some passing regret beneath
the smile on the surface Of his eyes.
Az had watched Duponcsau, watch

Rodney thought. THE poor French
workingmen, the widows and orphans
who had saved and shaved, gave him ev-
erything they had because he knew how
to make money multiply as no one else
did. He drew them pictures Of the great
factories and stores and hotels he would
build for them with their money, and told
them how by adding their infinite mites
together they might produce something gi-
gantic. How about them left without a
sou?"
ut was their own lookout" tried to
argue.
WELL" said Rodney, 1.-THE right and
wrong Of this sort of thing lie deep, but
1t may be that man has no right to
use his own Imagination to see for other
people; that he can build air-castles only
for himself"
Perhaps" l agreed; "but, as you say,
II he had succeeded, he would have been
a hero"
That's all the difference. However, he
didn't, and SO he's an outcast" Rodney
laughed. And to think that I've been
doing my best to defend the worst scape-
grace the market has known in years."

There are fashions in advertising as
in everything else, The advertise.
ments of to-day, for example, are calm
er and more reasonable than those OF
half a century ago. Exceptions, to
be sure, may be found, such as the
circus bill board, but even that is less
Haunting than its ancestors. In q
book entitled Musical Memories" G.
P. Upton quotes some advertisements
of over quarter Of century ago.
The first is the announcement of a
concert:
''Wachtel, Wachtel, Wachtell
''The Great, The Magnetic Tenor!
''The famous German tenor whose
phenomenal and magnificent voice
flows like the Rhine itself, turbulent,
restless, through all the storied tracts
of music. A magnificent fountain,
meant, as the poet has intimated, to
flow on forever. The princely haste
of a lyric monarch compelled to
sound his natural gifts to all the
world, and with only one lifetime to
accomplish his purpose"
Another more exciting statement an
nounced the coming of the Swiss Bell
Ringers:
THE Campanalogians.
