NEW EMBROIDERY.

The new embroidery is done in beads and it is really far more inter esting than ordinary embroidery or other fancy work, says the Washing ton Star. For the beads are full of color, and, what is more, bead em- broidery progresses so rapidly that there is no danger of becoming impa- tient for results.
 Bead embroidery can he done on bags or on frocks or on hats-and in all these guises it is effective.
 When you go to a shop to buy beads for embroidery you may possi- bly think you have landed in an apothecary shop, for there the beads will be, ranged in neat rows in sfRall pill bottlesrjust like so many small pink and blue and green and yellow and purple pills, all packed into tiny bottles.
 So you will buy bottles of pills for embroideringAas many bottlefuls as you wish, of course, for the particular design you have in mind. And with your workbag filled with bead bottles you can go about the design you wish to carry out.
 Beaded bags are perhaps the most , interesting work for beginner, for 5 in a really short time you can work out an effective design for silk bag. When you get little more expert you can bead velvet bags, and per haps the next thing will be beaded band for a hat If>>you have much daring, you might try to make a beaded landscape for a hat band, for such a band appears on a very smart hat model.
 Then you can get ito work on beaded embroidery design for frock of serve or velvet or silk, and before you know it you will be an expert bead embroidery worker.

by the King. A native of the Do- minion, Sir John is of Yorkshire and Scottish descent. His youth was spent on a pioneer farm in Ontario, and his formal education progressed no further than the public schools. For all his lack of higher education, there are few men who have a wider and deeper knowledge of English and American literature and history. and he writes lucid English that is force full, direct and to the point.
 After leaving the farm young WilH- son spent some time in commercial ac- tivities before the enlisted in the ranks of the Fourth Estate. He then enter ed the employ of the Toronto Globe, and for several years was in the Par press gallery for that From 1890 to 1902 he was editor of the Globe, and under his direction that journal emerged from a long struggle against diversity to high position in Canadian Journalism. Since then he has been president and editor of the Toronto News, and in that position he has been a virile and consistent advocate of Canadian na- tionalisr1 and imperial unity.
 Several books have issued from his pens, of which the most noteworthy. perhaps, is his "Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberal Party" a two-volun1e history of Canada during the last two decades of the nineteenth century. "The American Spirit" and ''The Rail- way Question in Canada" are also works which have been widely read and highly appreciated.
 Like so many other distinguished Canadians, Sir John has had to mourn the loss of a son in the war. Last September the cables brought to the News office the sad news that William Willison, son of the editor, had been killed in action while fighting bravely somewhere in France"

SINGULAR THINGS IN PLURALS.

We'll begin with a box, and the plurai
 is boxes; But the plural of OK should be oxen
 not oXes. Then one fowl is goose, but two are
 called geese; Yet the plura! or moose sh ould never
 be meese. You may find lone mouse or a whole
 lot of mice; But the plural of house is houses, not
 hice. If the plural of man is always called
 men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
 called pen? The COW in the plural 1ney be cows or
 kline. But a bow, if repeated, is never called
 bine. And the plural of VOW is VOWS, not
 vine; And if I speak of a foot, and you
 show me your feet. And ] give you a boot, would a pair
 be called beet? If one is D. tooth and a whole set are
 teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of both be : called teeth? If the singular's this and the plural is
 these, Should the plural of kiss be hickman
 ed keese? Then one may be that. and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be
 hose. And the plural of cat is cats not We speak of brother and also of
 brethern; But tho we say mother, we never say
 methren. The masculine pronouns are he, his
 and him; But magine the feminine she, shis and
 sllim. So the English I think you all will
 agree, Is the most wonderful language you
 ever did see.

SEPARATE SKIRTS WORN

Whether it is that the new blouses are1 irresistible, or that the tremen- dous vogue of the separate coat in- fluences all other fashions, the fact is that there never was a time when the skirt, as a distinctive garment, was so popular, says the New York American. One may buy the skirt first, then match it in 8 blouse, the two being stopped ultimately by the great spreading coat,
 Among the recent models are skirts of black satin, which are to be re- commended from both the standpoint of dressiness and practicability, Such skirts have all the fashionable width, that is manipulated nevertheless to give comparative siimpess to the

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be af- ter few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amaz- ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance or abundance; an incomparable lustre, SoftnesS and IuXuriance.
 Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Da.nderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment--thats ali-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try little Danderine.

figure. Yokes are used to oInduce the Hat hip line, and there are draperies. tunlcs and folds to give variety to the seasons showing.
 Next in point of popularity is the skirt Of black broadcloth, sometimes pla1ted, sometimes cut on semi-cir- cular lines and supplied with pockets and belt. Then there are skirts of velveteen and serge, which if select ca Tn black will be found to accord excellently with the coat of fur, of satln or Of bolivia cloth. One can pay as little as $5 for a separate skirt, or the price may be advanced to many times that amount for dressv satin models trimmed with bead or silk embroideries
 Jersey cloth will be liked by many women for the development of the sklrt to wear with the linen, batiste or washable satin blouse. To be mod 1sn It must be of color-green, gold, purple, mastic, gray or rose. There are also some very good-looking jer- sey weavers in two-tone effect that suggest homespuns, and which are less gar1sh than the others. Such are to be had in olive green, soapstone gray and certain cadet blue shades.
 IT Jersey cloth is cut carefully and the seams stayed" the tendency to stretch and sag is materially lessen ed. The fabric plaits we'll, and it's light weight makes it admirably adapted for kilted skirts There is a. winter variety much heavier than that used during the last few months, which is recommended for skirts, dresses and for separate iac- kets, which are designed as a part of sport apparel.

THE SHOP GIRLS OF
 THE GREAT CITIES

Golden opportunity is never offered
 twice.
 Seize then the hour when fortune
 smiles and duty points the way; | Nor shrink aside to 'scape the spectre
 fear,
 Nor pause though pleasure beckon
 from her bower,
 But bravely bear thee onward to the
 goal"
 So much has been said and written of the shop-girls of the great cities that it is no wonder that people who live far removed from the maddening> crowds do not know how much IS truth and how much fiction. The good elderly women in the small towns and villages are wont to imagine that the lives of the shop-girls are filled with temptations to which some succumb could be nothing further from the ex- act situation of affairs.
 K Young girls stand in no more dan ger in the large cities than in the smallest country towns. It is quite, natural if they have pretty faces that they should attract attention from passers-by and should have glances given them. But they need not be the object of persecution unless they in- vite it. The girl who must go out very early in her youth is sure to learn from older companions how to avoid dangers. She is told and made to understand while in her early teens that the youth who would strike up a street irritation has no respect for her, that acquaintances made by introduc> tions from some mutual friend who Knows him are the only safe kind. Otherwise she might find herself hob nobblng with a role who is married or some blackgua1d or tates-prison bird who has just been released from there or is taking by his depredations a quick route toward it. They know Better than to dine with a stranger or accompany him on so-called joy-rides If young men whom they meet do not show inclination to talk matrimony ere they waste much time on him they do not build air castles about him. Which never may be realized. Nine girls out of ten are absorbed in their work and striving For positions just ahead of them. They lead good, clean lives, "early to bed and early to rise. The majority of them have mothers or family ties. To them they conf1de' the events of the day, counseling with them. Most all of the women who nave arrived at fine positions in fac tory. or shop and whose salary per week can be written in three figures Will tell you they commenced work when very young, never allowing fool 1sh notions to elbow them away from daily pursuits. With the shop girl. a young man knows he must either propose marriage without dallying or go his way. They are good girls. earning their own money, nine out of ten laying by a goodly sum for the rainy day.

A chorus of about 30 voices will render several selections. They will be assisted by Mrs. Gertrude Merritt Butler of Brooklyn, vocal so loist.

Both Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Lyons have given public enter tainments, and are artists in their professions. Miss Bess McPhee and Miss Doris Guild will be piano ac- companists, and Miss Margaret Mo- Phee will be violinist.
 The above outline ensures a fine musical and literary evening.

should combine both service and style. Enc lines of this design are particu- larly acceptable since they show no hint of freakishness or exaggeration. The suit is developed in cinnamon brown velveteen, the single breasted jacket having convertible collar and two-piece sleeves trimmed with but tons. The fulness is held n/with a straight belt.
 The skirt is two-piece model with high waistline and closes on the left side. It is trimmed with a removable two-piece yoke with extensions at the sides, though a round outline may be substituted, if preferred. In medium size the suit requires 5H yards 54- inch material
 To cut the jacket is one of the most important factors in the construction of the suit, because unless the lines are preserved in the cutting the smart effect of perfectly tailored garment will be lacking. !
 The back of the jacket is laid on the lengthwise fold of material, just as shown in the cutting guide. To the left the front is placed, the straight edge resting on the selvage edge of the velveteen. The under facing is laid to the right of the front, being placed on 3 lengthwise thread and below the undertaking, the two sleeve sections, these also on length wise thread.
 The collar and belt rest on the fold of material, while the pocket is laid on a lengthwise thread directly above the collar.
 Buttons of self material trim the pockets and the collar may be of kol- lnsky or some other fashionable fur if desired.
