getT1er rather than sewed. This is new feature prevalent in many of the advanced models Another very novel idea in this coat consists in the pocket flaps and the tab of the sleeve. They are cut in one piece with the front DOT ton of stle coat and the top of the sleeve-that is, what ordinarily would be inside the pocket is cut loose into the pointed pocket-nap,. while the upper portion of the sleeve Is treated in the same manner.
 The hat IS very popular model Of glossy white straw with a rosette of white liberty satin at either side to hold i'll place the. scarf, which forms the bow crown. The veil drapes very easily and firmly over this model, as the small peaked crown holds 1t in place.
 Thin Rubber Coat
 The most dressy, practical coat yet of so fine a quality as to make it look like a fine silk and wool. This makes 1t equally as suitable to wear over thin summer frock, as its washable SUIT face recommends it for long motor trips over country roads. The lines are very appearance to the garment, which IS cut very straight and loose, so as to hang almost perpendicular1y from shoul- der to hem. The high snugly-httlng turnover wind collar ana CUTS are or color to match the hat, the black making very smart combination with the white, although maroon, tobacco-brown or deep olive-green is also very handsome on white when used with discrimination. The front is double-breasted, fastening on the right with five large ivory but tons on either side, the only other adorn- ment being the huge square pockets, the shaped flaps of which are ostensibly fast ened down with three buttons of smaller size.

MOTHERS WAGES

Some time ago bright little boy who was on his way home after selling the evening papers was proudly telling me how much he was earning. 1 asked how many earners there were at hons The
 "And your Mother, doesn't she earn anything?"
 'sMother? No; she doesn't earn any
 sSWhat does she do during the day?" I asked.
 "Oh, she is the first up in the. morn ing and the last in the evening; she gets breakfast, calls father, and gives him his breakfast; then she gets the children she makes the beds, sweeps and gets things in order, cooks dinner; after dim ner she mends, darns stockings and knits, and that's the way 1t goes ali day long"
 'And what does she get for it ?"
 He laughed and said: Mother doesn't work for money-that is her oc- cupation, and is supposed to be done by her.

The linen coat in natural tone is of especially good cut and excellent line. The back is cut all in one piece with a ser11i-ernpire effect tapping over on to by four black satin buttons. The same idea is repeated in the close-ftting sleeves, the under-arrn section buttoning on to the upper portion of the sleeve.
 A most vo1unlinous coat of checked English tweed and decidedly of English tailoring is depicted here. The check is black and white, the collar slightly in laid with black velvet All the different portions of the garment are Tapped one over the other, apparently buttoned to-

black hat of more iaunty construction is exceedingly durable, being made of pale-blue radium over which is laid an ecru lace of Oriental pattern. The design of this is picked out in soft old rose and blue, thus counterbalancing the harshness of the mohair, making soft frame for the face and bringing out it's color. The severity of the al1-b1ack- ness of the hat is relieved by bit of k1lotted black satin ribbon, which seems to bind to the hat bunch of pink roses and to form the ties which are knotted in a French bow under the left ear The combination of pink with a touch of blue is excellent on black mass.

The Removable Lining

Another very handsome model was of broad-waleN ecru serge, with a re1nov- able lining of seal-brown fur mounted on canvas. This could be quickly ad- fasteners. Its light color made it an especially serviceable and light wrap for summer weather, while the fur lin- ing rendered 1t comfortable even on the coldest, most wintry days. The outer portion could be repeatedly cleaned cape as this is really much warmer than coat, as one can gather 1t about one in the coziest fashion

Could anything be more denure than the appearance of the quaint little straw bonnet and cape Of the illustration? It is almost Quakerish in it's simplicity. The material is English gray mohair, lined with pearl-gray taHeta, with the fat-iying wind collar of a darker shade of gray, short pile velvet, to match the silver n1ountings of the n1other-of- pearl buttons. It is not only exceedingly pretty, but most practical for general utility garment, and well adapted to pleasant as well as rainy days, since mo hair wears well and sheds the water easily. This makes 1t excellent for rough weather, especially as the hood, which is also lined with the taffeta, can readily be adjusted over the head for protection against wind and rain. The wind collar which, as I have said, lies flat oyer the hood, is an admirable fea- ture, as it not only gives nice line about the neck, but, as you will see on close inspection, 1t is c1everly cut with two points on the outer edge. This 1y underneath the low coihure and Ill no way disarranging it or poking it out into an ugly mass. It also serves the purpose of keeping out all the wind because of its snug fit about the nape Of the neck.
 The Poke Bonnet
 The little poke bonnet that goes with this cape has an abbreviated brirn. It is of soft silver-gray chip, which does not show the dust and will stand much brushing. The under-brin is faced with a softly:-shirred shell-pink chiffon, which emphasizes the quality of pink com plexion or creates a delicate color in pale skin. The shirring is mounted in a heavy cord, which makes an excel lent and durable finish for the edge of a knock-about hat. The drape about piece of fA' chiffon 5ao Do of the es same @ pink pink shade is held in place by rosette-1ike chotx at the side and is then tied under the chin i'll a dainty bow.

Spoiled His Taste.

A friend of mine," said a Montana man, 'is defending a damage suit for being party to making 8 man take the liquor cure without his consent This man had been on a protracted spree of several weeks, and his busi ness was going to the dogs. My friend thought it would be kindly thing to send blm to a sanitarium for treat meGt. He did so, and the man was given the cure for the whisky habit. When he was discharged from the sanitar}um the fast thing he did was to go to saloon. He called for Whis. ky. He tasted it, but did not fancy the flavor of it. He set his distaste of it down to the cure he had been given by my friends orders and imme- diate1y began suit for S50,00o dam. ages. He says in his complaint that he had a highly cultivated and dis criminating taste for whisky, which had taken years to develop, and that
 was spoiled by the cure. I do not know how my friend will come out, but he is Tot helping any more down and outs without first obtaining their consent. ."-New York Journal.

=SSrikino a=Comet.

If we ask the effect of a comets striking the earth we will readily see that if the head of the comet were com posed of powders collision would have disastrous consequences. \ rain of millions of great meteoric stones would. of course, bring catastrophe. If, however. it were merely a rain of small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it. for the parti- cles would never reach us. They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface If the gases lib- erated by friction were in excessive volume we might suffer discomfort or even disaster It is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti. cles strike our atmosphere every day, This would be a serious matter if we were not protected by our great shel- tering envelope of air. Occasionally a meteoric powder is large enough to resist the heat generated by this fric- tion and reaches the surface. This we call 6 meteorite. The now established connection between comets and me- teors is a matter of great interest," Ralph B. Larkin in North American Review.

"Choir." i"

Churchgoers who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss the "dear old phrase" concerning 'sauires and places where they sing" and in time the old fashioned .squires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling Choir" was a most unnecessary out rage upon the language. The old Eng fish "quer" or "quere" became quite naturally "quyer" or "quire," and so 1t remained until the end of the seven teenth century. when somebody seems to have introduced "choir" bcause it looked more like the French ''choeur." as if that were valid reason. There could have been no danger of confus- ing church "quire" and "quire" of paper, which is different word, the French "cahier," probably from Latin "quaternarium." collection of four leaves.-London Standard.

Cockades and Buttons,

The cockade originated simply in tAo xnet of ribbons or strings by which .Jle broad flaps of the seventeenth cen ;ury round hat were cooked" or 1raWu up tu the hrim in fine weather, aud thus originated the three cornered lat as well as thc cooked hat of lateg times. There was nothing specially military about the usage. as the ig- aorant assert. The same strings sur v!ve in the loops of the hats of hishope and other ecclesiastical dignitares in Great Britain in the strings of the hats worn by French cures and Span ish aud Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats ot some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom for military men to "cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served. and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the "black cochade' became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform In an old Scotch song of Shrramuir, citing "Woodword' Her aldry." we read of ''the red roat lads with black cockades,' and knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot. in the form of a rosette of ribbon survived. just as did the buttons on tle backs of our coats. which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marehing.-Jus- tice of the Peace"
