No lugs." That is the motto of a little neighborhood gathering. It is inelegant, I know, but I quote it for the spirit it expresses rather than as an example of good English.
 The way it chanced to be taken for a motto was this: When the lit- tie club, a fortnightly gathering of young married people at the various homes of it's members, was formed, one of the girls who was invited to join, said, Yes if you'll promise that we won't put any Jugs on.'
 "Of course not said the rest. (Did anyone ever admit such an in tention?)
 Trying to Outdo Each Other.
 We'll" she explained, "where I lived before I was married, we girls lub It was fun at first and then by and-by we all began to put on Jugs. Instead of trying to have a good time, we tried to outdo each other in clothes, the way our houses looked and the things we had to eat.
 After awhile, two or three of the poorer girls dropped out because they couldn't wear something new every time and finally the whole club went to pieces. I said then I'd never be- long to another club like that. There's too much heartburning, too much fussing and competition and too little real pleasure to make it worth while.''

 Isnodded I could not speak. This was the final touch to the misery I had piled up for myself by delaying to tell my cousin, Jack Bickett, of my r arriage to Dicky. ,~'.. '. .' I had thought I was doing a wise kind thing in considering my brother cousins feelings upon his return from a years absence in the wilderness where he had been unable to, receive any news of me. I had gone to meet him. intending to tell him of my marriage when our reunion dinner should be finished. I feared Dicky's S jealousy would prevent my seeing much of Jack, and I wanted to give him one last hour or two on the old bTotherly and sisterly basis.
 And as a result, Jack had told me that he loved me, something he would never have revealed had he dreamed I was married, and I had lost my en- gagement and my wedding rings. l had put them in my mesh bag in the restaurant when I took off my gloves, so that Jack should not guess my marriage until after dinner.
 Jack turned the mesh bag inside out. A handkerchief, a small coin purse, two or three bills of small de- nomination, an envelope with a tiny powder puff-these were all
 You are sure you put them in here?"

 There would be a fanfare of af- 1 fectionate greetings, during which ev- erybody would measure to an inch ! the importance Of what everybody else was wearing.

 ''The value and beauty or oddity of the tea cups was another element which entered largely into the spirit of these terrible enterprises. These collections so differed in style and the obvious amount paid for them that nobody could be happy. The poorer ones envied; the richer ones feared; the poorer ones continually striving to overtake the leaders; the leaders with their heads always turned back to hear overtakine. foot steps. And none of these things here written did they know. Instead of seeing that they were very stupid. they thought they were very fine And they gave and took heart-bruises fierce, deep heart t-bruises-under the clear impression that such kind of rubbish was of the kingdom af nice people,

Here is an exceedingly smart little coat. It is buttoned up to the left shoulder in the fashionable Russian style and it can be made as it Is here or with a cape. In either case, it is exceedingly attractive and takes the prettiest as we'll as the smartest lines. In the picture, it is made of corduroy with trimming of fur and the material is always a good one for little girls coats, while fur is found upon almost every street garment this season, but as matter of course, there are many other materials that could be used and other trimmings. Some mothers will think that the choker collar is not health full and for them, the round collar will be found desirable. The coat made of vel veteen or corduroy with the collar and, sleeve trimming and belt of broadcloth, would make a handsome effect or, fur cuffs could be used without the collar if the latter seems over-heating. The plaits are laid on indicated lines and are pressed hnd held by belt, they are not stitched,i consequently they give pretty lines.
 For the IF year size will be needed, AZ Eds. of material 36 in. wide, AZ yds. A, br 3A yds. 54, with yds. of fur banding.
 The pattern No. 8854 is cut in sizes from to I4 years. It will be mailed to hny address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.
