Some frocks which have all the char acter of those made for afternoon wear. This Is a hitherto unoccupied field, for knitted fabrics have been identified with sports clothes where they have been entirely successful. Sports suits and dresses, in heavy and light weights, and greatly varied in texture by variations in the knitting are beginning to vie with sweaters in variety of design.
 Another field has been invaded by the knitted dress of wool. It is a comfortable and sturdy garment for the little school girl and appears in slip-over frocks in one color with deco rations in contrasting colors knitted in. A gray or blue dress in a plain, close stitch, has bands of red, orange and green about the bottom of the skirt and sleeves, and around the waist. A narrow knitted silk girdle at the waist and a similar tie at the neck, match the dress in color.
 Very attractive knitted trimmings of wool yarn are used on dresses and suits of Jersey cloth or to finish

MANNERS IN SECOND PLACE
Far Above the Importance of Table Niceties.

When Miss Violet Robinson, col- ored teacher in Mobile, was invited by Mrs. Clarver, the mother of two of her pupils, to stay and have dinner with the family, she accepted with no an ticipation of what was before her. MT. Carver hung far over his plate, and seemed engaged in race against time and labor as he lifted knifeloads of viands to his mouth. His wife and children were not much outdone
 The teacher was not one to keep her thoughts from her face, and Mrs. Clar- yer looked at her first with distress and then with growing wrath as she felt the need of coming to her mans defense.
 Finally she leaned across the table toward her guest, and pounded heavily with the handle of a fork.

MIR. DINGLE'S SOOTHING SYRUP
Surely No Excuse for His Better Half's Nervousness After That Reas-

Mrs. Dingle was filled with nervous alarms whenever she travelled, and MT. Dingle always had his hands full in trying to quiet and reassure her.
 Albert" said Mrs. Dingle, waking her husband from a sound sleep in a southern railway car. "Albert! want you to find out why we are going at this fearful speed. The car is pumping and swaying till I can scarcely see out of my eyes"
 MT. Dingle sat up and looked out of the window at the moonlit landscape.
 "See that bridge ahead on the curve?" he asked sleepily. "Well, we have to go over that in a minute, and probably it isn't very strong and they want to go over it with as little strain and as quickly as possible. Now go to sleep."- Milwaukee. Sentinel.

 In a clever overcoat of tweed, In two-toned plaid, the tailor has con- trived unusual sleeves having slashed cuffs ornamented with large buttons. The collar is the new "tunnel' design and these are little points that dis tinguish the coat illustrated from others of its kind.
 The smart utility coat sells itself, to fill definite need, but not every one needs a coat, and there are some intriguing coat dresses calculated to coax money out of those who are not driven by necessity to part with it. They are handsome affairs that will serve without a coat for wear in autumn and with one for winter. One of them is shown here. It is made of men's-wear serge and has novel sleeves, with pendant panels finished with silk fringe. Loose straps. em- broidered with silk floss and ending in long silk tassels, hang from the

FORESEES VOYAGE TO MOON
Frenchman Predicts That in Near Flu ture the Trip Can Be Made in
 For.y-Nine Hours.

M. Esnault-Pelterie' of the Paris Aero club predicts that the utilization of the intra-atomic energy will enable men in the near future to travel from the earth to the moon in 49 hours. The first 31 minutes, it seems, will be very agreeable, but during the AS hours and % minutes of the second part of the course one will have the sensation of a terrible fall in the void.
 And this reminds one of the charm ing story told by Mark Twain:
 One morning when standing at the window he perceived a human body falling through the air.
 "How do you do?" asked Mark Twain gracefully.
 "So far" the other replied, 'Im all right. But when I reach the ground floor it will be all wrong!"

TO DARN QUICKLY

A good way to darn a run quickly is to use a raveling or a single strand of alarming cotton to fill in the run with a zigzag stitch. For the first stitch bring the needle up from the under side of the material; for the next. bring it down from the upper side
 Continue as long as is necessary, catching the run near the edges. Have the thread rather loose and when you have filled in the run pull 1t just enough to draw the edges together.

The winter Of 17S9.9O was warmer
than any which the oldest inhabitants
could remember. In the last week of
December and the first of January
gardeners and farmers on the island
of Manhattan were blowing, and women
appeared in the streets Of the city in
their summer dresses. The pleasant
custom of making New Years calls had
long obtained in most of the countries
Of continental Europe. and it was
brought to New York by both the Dutch
and the H%uguenOts, who had preserved
1t rs one of their peculiar institutions,
which never could be n%aturalized in
towns of a more purely English origin
and population.
On Friday, the first Of January,
1890, we are informed by the late
venerable John Pintard, who was then
a young man of fashion, and a close
observer, the President was waited
upon by the principal gentlemen of the
metropolis. The day was uncommonly
mild and agreeable, even for that year
of perpetual verdure, and the great
festival of friendship was never kept
more universally or with a livelier
qualification. The visitors of the
President, after an interchange of the
usual salutations of the day, withdrew,
delighted at his gracious manner

To an inquiry by the President
whether such ~Observances were casual
or customary, 1t was answered that
New Years visiting had always been
maintained in the city. He paused a
moment, and then observed: 1.-THE
highly favored situation Of New York

manners; but, whatever changes take
place, never forget the cordial and

Mrs. Washington had stood by his
side as the visitors arrived and were
presented, and when the clock In the
hall was heard striking 8, she ad-
vanced, and with a cOmplacent smile

which all arose, made their parting
salutations, and Withdrew.
