Pensions for Cats and Horses.

Old age pensions are spreading.
But who would have thought Of St.
Francis of Assist as contributing to
SO modern a movement? Neverthe-
less, the kindly saint who preached to
fishes and birds Is still factor to be
reckoned with. AS witness the case
of the maiden lady who died In Lon
don recently and made provision in
her will for pensions for her cats and
horses. Her orders to her trustees
we're to the effect that they are to pay
5000 a year for the care of each of
her cats. They are also to see that
each animal is properly looked after
and treated with kindness. Her horses
are also to be provided for. not al
lowed to do harder work than they
have been accustomed to, or are to be
mercifully destroyed. All these I'M
usual requests are explained by the
further orders of the will to the eff
feet that the kindly provider is to be
buried in the full habit Of the Order
Of st. Francis of Assist. to which she
belonged.

Stitch across the corners Of the up

Of stitching to the center. This will
make four straight lines of stitching
all the way across the bag and will
also leave four opens edges forming
triangular pockets in which to put
thread, scissors. needles. etc. Sew
small rings at each point where the

SKIRTS CLEAR THE GROUND
Danger of a Return to the Trail
Ing Draperles.

The effort of dressmakers now is to
have dresses as practical as possible.
The constantly recurring rumor that
long skirts are to take the place Of
the more comfortable short ones for
the street is soon silenced by the ap-
pearance of many new models for
street gowns all with skirts to clear
the ground. For the house the long
skirt is always the smartest, and-al-
though last winter there were many
short house gowns even of the most
elaborate order-the fashion never met
with general approval, and is now pass
ing.
Long trains for the evening are far
more becoming and more appropriate
for gowns of expensive material. A
low-neck dress requires long skirt
If 1t is to be becoming. A short skirt
for the street and long skirt for the
house is a good rule to follow. Two
inches from the floor is the correct
short skirt length.-Harper's Bazaar.

Gormly had faced many difficult sit.
uations in his life. Even his success
! full business career had confronted
! him with crises of moment. But he
had never contemplated anything
which imposed so hard task upon
his judgment and his feelings as the
approaching interview. What means
young Haldane would take to induce
his sister to come with him, how
tell her, Gormly had no means of
knowing Of course; but he felt con-
f1dent that by hook or crook the young
woman would be produced, and that a
few minutes would find him face to
face with her.
He did not In the least know how
to begin or what to say, and the more
he thought Of 1t the more difficult
became the situation. 1t was well
that the time for reflection was short.
1t is better for a man who has to do
great things to do them before the
mental and spiritual enemy has time
to instil doubts into the mind. And

growing apprehension and misery,
