The large Napoleonic cuff, with frius showing below it. is in evil dence.
 Fashion promises the coming
 It is a literal fact that this sea- sons waists are being made over lin- ings.
 It is the fashion now to put cross stitch embroidery on afghan crochet
 Practically anything that fits
 Young girls separate coats are high waisted, with full skirts and full sleeves.
 There is a return to the use of firm, sturdy embroideries in under clothes
 Butterflies and bluebirds are used to loop up evening dresses instead of flowers.
 Taffeta gowns are actually being made up with ten circular ruff1es on
 Russian leather has come into fashion again for some of the anest handbags
 Sleeves are very long and close and frequently have fril1s reaching to the elbow.
 The most up-to-date afternoon frocks are of broadcIoth, taneta satin and fai1le.
 Handkerchiefs are no longer white alone. Instead we find them in many co1ors.
 Tiny puffed sleeves are. among the prettiest a girl can choose for her evening frock
 Even large full sleeves. set into a low shoulder and gathered at the waist, are seen.
 OId-f fashioned pointed bodices are one of the features of young girls evening frocks.
 Gay and novel sweaters are much to the front. Never did sweaters have such good lines.
 New handbags have jeweled clasps. The color of the lining should match the stone.
 The return of taffeta and moire in silks is noted. Black and colors will be well liked.

FREE PLEASURES FOR
 WORKING GIRLS

"We are not sure of sorrow
 And joy was never sure,
 Today will die tomorrow
 Time stoops to no mans lure;
 And love, grown faint and fretTul,
 With lips but half regreafuI
 Signs, and, with eyes foFgetful,
 Weeps that mo love endures.
 It is not every working girl whose heart is lzindled to a haHne at the thought of tangoing in a, dance hall or going to moving picture shows even ings There are as many types of girls. who work foa- their living as tlnere are in homes of indo1ent ease where the daughters depend upon the dollars of their daddies.
 Some imagine that all working girls are a jolly, hoydenish lot, eager to troop off to bright scenes quite as soon as the days work is over; that beaux and laughter are all. they think of or care flor.
 Never was a greater mistake made While a large majority of them, in their youth and exuberance of gay spirits, seek to throw off dull care. there are quite as many refined young women among the toiferS who do not care for. such arkn11senents They at tend sthe free libraries to read p1aga- zines and best books. Lectures by good orators are dear to their hearts, as are the best dramas Their purse says "Not'' Where is pleasure to be found for such refined natures?
 While the p11ilanthropists are pfovid-l ing dance halls for some of the girls. why don't they give others the chance of attending a course of free lectures in cengenia1 surroundings or the op- port1naty Of seeing a first class drama by celebrated artists without cost few times during the season? It would open peoples eyes and hearts as well if they could have talks with the shop girls of whose lives and interests they know so little. One young girl I know of, whose daily task was to sell wa1islx aoroeIfs and dust cloths behind the counter, re- ga1ed herself during leisure moments and after business hours by studying Shakespeare. Another was an anna teur portrait painter. Her work was surprisingly clever One craved to i1l- vent something which would be 8 boon to humanity and bring substantial re- turns. The dream of another was to become a poetess. Her verses were unusually good. Still another was an embryo Patti. who simply needed to be discovered and placed before the publia to have the music loving world hdelighted1y lowing at her feet. There are hundreds of others with as lauda~ ble and varied ambitions whose hearts, minds and 4ongings need to be wisely catered to.
 Yet they starve for want of pleas. ures along these lines which they can not afford to pay for. Love and mar riage are not the omega. of every work ing girls hopes. While the powers that be are working for the bett erment of the working class and society ma irons claRnor for a. chance to chaperon girls in the dance halls, let them turn their attention to the many intellectual bread winners who would love to hear refined speakers talk on topics besides war, high cost of living. tango. or the movie craze. Free pleasures Of this kind would be benefits well given, and oh! so highly appreciated by many heart hungry working girls.

THE CHIMES oF TERMoNDE.

The grouping spires have lost the sky, That reach from Termonde town; There are no bells to travel by, The minister chimes are down, It's forth we must, alone. alone, And try to find the way; The bells that we have always known War broke their hearts today.
 They used to call the morning
 Along the gilded street.
 And then their rhymes were laughter,
 And all their notes were sweet, [ heard them stumble down the air Like seraphin betrayed; s~ God must have heard their broken
 prayer
 That made my soul afraid. The Termonde bells are gone, are And what is left to say2 It's forth we must, by bitter dawn. To try to find the way.
 They used to call the children
 To go to sleep at night; And then their songs were tender
 And droWsy with delight. The wind viii look. for them in vain Within the empty tower, We shall not hear them sing again 5 At dawns or twilight hour It's forth we must, away, away And far from Termonde town, But this Is all know today The chimes, the chimes are down!
 They used to ring at evening
 To help the people pray.
 Who wander now bewiIdered i
 And can not find the way. Grace Hazard Conkling in Atlantic.

ONE-sIDED AFFECTION
Dear Miss Libbey

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Some time ago 8 young man came oTwn from the city and was employed by our neigdrboFs. He had lived in our town beforeAand I knew who he was and suppose he knew who was lit seems that when I first saw him fell deeply inp love with him He also seemed to care for me- although we had never met. Later, I saw very much of hizn and he often spoke to me I answered him so far as How do you do?. or Hello went. but never carried on a. conversation with him. Was I right ? He has gone away and ana deeply sorry for my conduct. Shall I write to him and confess my 1ovefo him? I cannot stand the sus- pense much longer.
 Even the sweetest and most modest of girls seem to forget that it is the man who should first show that he is interested, in fact, that his heart has been touched by Cupids wand If the young man had cared to have you for his sweetheart rest assured he was not too basffu1 to come forward and declare himself, The fact that you have not heard frorn hiHn since he went away should be positive proof to you that he is not giving you a thought. He is evidently not the one fntened flor you. Do not allow your thoughts to dwell on a1iTn You will have no difficulty whatever in attract ing.

Buckwheat Cakes.

The proportions of this recipe are graduated with the idea of making enough batter for two or three per sons, and if it is desired to make a larger batter the chefs Judgment can be used in increasing the proportions.
 Put one-haIf of pint of milk and one-half of a cake of yeast in a re- ceptacle, and add one-fourth of a. glassfuI of warm water, then add a little salt to sufficient buckwheat to thicken to a medium batter. Let the batter stand over night to rise, and in the morning dissolve one-fourth of a. teaspoonful of baking soda in 1ukewar1n water and put into the batter Stir thoroughly before ap- plying to hot griddle, which should ba well greased before the batter is dropped on it.
 To make the next days cakes it is better to save a cupfu1 of the prevf- ous days batter and add this to the batter being made for the following morning. This old batter should be taken out after it is. fully raised and before the baking soda has been placed in it.
