THAT Fashion is a capricious tyrant
 who rules her subjects with a rod of iron is a popular but mistaken mo- tion. Things are, in fact, rather the other way. Certain broad rules must, of course, be followed, but there is no iron fist of unintelligent despotism.
 Somebody once said fashion was made for fools, but he was certainly not right in the ser - intended. Never was the fact that Fashion is the most broad minded of danes better illustrated than at the present moment when within the dimensions of a skirt as brief as 1t is broad, woman may follow her own fancy in the matter of clothes. If she
 nclnes to the modes of fifty years ago she may be Victorian in so far as Nic- torianism may be compatible with the indisputable presence of ankles and un- derstandings. Or, again, she may pre- fer the martial severity of braid and button, the long lines of the Russian suit or the loose comfort of the Cos sack coat. In any or all in rotation her turnout" is equally fashionable, pro- vided always that the style suits her personality and figure. Once that knot ty point is settled the rest is plain sail ing.
 Then there is the matter of sleeves. Sleeves in a double sense, loom large on the horizon this season, They offer 8 wide field for the exercise of origi- nality, taste and discretion, with this single exception-that in the case of the suit, the choice is necessarily some what limited. The time when a frock was dated by it's sleeve has passed away. The lego mutton sleeves of the early nineties, the balloon sleeves that came after, the straight sleeves that heralded the opening of the twen- tieth century or the one with many puffs, which was a feature of the modes that followed, are one and all used by the dressmaker of today.
 Another reverses the process, but, finding the way of perfect freedom of choice little to it's taste. throws breadth of outlook to the winds and seeks the narrow path as it hears the end of it's brief life. One puffs at the shoulder. Another has no such enlarged notions of it's own importance but pursues the even tenor of it's way from armhole to wrist, and the bell sleeve opens un- abeshed over cuffs of lawn or lace, whichever you please, One sleeve is set into a normal armhole, another droops languidly from some point above the

SOMETHING GROWING,

CUT flowers at this season are ex- pensive, but they will soon be cheaper. Even now if we put by 50 cents a week we can have something growing always in sight in our living rooms. Growing plants of ivy that give a charming touch of growing green to a room cost no more than 25 cents. and these will grow more or less indefinitely if watered occasionally and given plenty of air. And if we buy one of these ivy plants one week we have just that much more money to spend for flowers later on. One week we can in- vest in a Ii h12e pot of ferns. and again in a primL nRr begonia. Begonias give great action, for they lit- orally sta,' I'd with bloom for weeks.
