Rain and Cheap Velvet.

Don't get worried II you are caught
out in storm while wearing cheap
velvet suit and must do without a taxi
for the same reason that bought the
costume-lack Of money. Trot along as
fast as possible toward a shelter but
meanwhile don't hold up your skirt or
tuck up the tails OF your coat. The
cheap velvet may get very wet indeed
but 1t won't be spoiled II you keep
your hands of of 1t. Don't sit down
or lean against anything or try to
brush on the rain drops. Simply hang
Il up out OF the way of dust and let 1t
dry. An act of Providence which would
have ruined a silk velvet suit that
you wanted badly but could not have.
won't injure the cheap texture that
you could honestly afford. Economy
occasionally brings Its own reward.

In the realm of semi-precious stones
the amethyst has held almost undis-

but It's reign is being threatened by
the topaz, that lovely yellow stone
that is not very generally known, that

Guy de Maupa.sant as a Clerk.

Guy de Maupassant's manner of life
as a junior clerk In the French edu-
cation Office is the subject of an In
teresting article by one OF his old
colleagues. We gather that he abb
sented himself from his duties on the
ground OF illness on an average
about three days week, and that
was how he obtained leisure for liter
airy composition. None the less he
was very anxious to retain his clerk
