SYSTEM IN THE HOME,

In many of the magazines and trade journals, much is being said of economy of labor and time The business man is beginning to reauz, that he must give his employees conveniences in order to obtain the greatest amount of work He in stalls new labor saving devices that save unnecessary movements. He knows just how many motions it takes to wrap a bundle or feed a machine. He is putting his business lpon the highest plane of efficiency.
 Should the housekeeper, upon whom depends the happiness, the comfort, in fact, the whole home atmosphere, have fewer convenience es than any other laborer? Her work is not only to minister to the material wants of her family, be sides being a home-keeper she is home maker, and that means a companion to her family, a guide. an inspiration and first friend to all.
 tired, dragged-out mother does not add to the comfort of the family circle, and for this reason a woman should arrange her house and work ing tools so that all labor may be reduced to minimum.

 Whatever exalted thoughts usually may occupy the minds of the lord $ of creation any haberdasher or tailor will tell you that as fall creeps on apace mere man is not above humoring vanity and conceding much deep thought and serious concern to the subject of new apparel and the modes. such as customarily it is as sumed only frivolous women devote 70 the subject
 Last Years Clothes to Discard.
 His interest and inquiry this year Is rewarded with a wealth of new data which may arouse alarm ami lead to conjecture that Dame FasI ion has proved Tickle and deserted the sisterhood while she indulges her whims and lavishes her favors on the masculine person. For sure ly the realm of feminine dress can not show more new departures and fashion novelties than are displayed in the more restricted field of mems attire. This vivid touch of fash ions favor may be flattering to man, but it makes last years clothes, with their promise of much more service, fit only for the discard
 Reflects Women's Styles.
 It is generally observed that the prominent points in womens modes are in some way reflected in the clothes men wear This is most noticeable in the new fall styles. the closer lines and smaller waist proclaimed in women's styles pre- vailing throughout mems attire. trousers are narrow, waistcoats arc close fitting, coats likewise snug with the waistline narrow and high. This proclamation affects evening clothes most noticeably, as the lines of the dress coat emphasize slen- derness and the short waist and Haunt most conspicuously the ex- tremely wide lapels which likewise adorn the business suit and fall 9vercCat.
