launched, in which short, single or
double-breasted coats are worn with
skirts made of different material. The
coats in many of these suits are made
of velveteen and the skirts of cloth,
or cloth coats are worn with checked
skirts which are made plain but have
creases pressed in them, like a mans

veloped in twill. reps and other
smooth cloths. A typical frock In the
present mode is pictured here and it
is a masterpiece of the tailor's art.

TT WAS cold along the Seine
L that Christmas Eve. There was
thin rain, half. snow, and a
nasty, penetrating wind coming up
from the river that sentschiIls trem-
bling down ones neck.M
Little Julfette Caret blew her
breath against her hands to warm
them and pulled her ragged little
coat more tightly about her She
was the sole support of family of
four-this little, shiyering tot, who
stood always before the door of
NotTe Dame selling holy cards and
medals TO people as they passed
in or out of the church.
Her mother was very iii and the
three other children of the family
younger than Julietts-were too lit
tie to do any kind Of work. How
she would have loved to bring home
something very special for them
this Christmas!
On her way to, the church this
evening she had stopped to look in
at the window Of a patisserie shop
and her heart was taken with "a
great cake in the, center all white
with dots of large red cherries
around the sides. The price was
ten francs. ShestookS out her. little
worn purse and counted - two
francs, five sous. Slowly she closed
the purse and put it. back in her
pocket. The cake was out of the
question It would have to be a
loaf of bread only.
All evening she had stood in
front Of the church, but had made
almost nothing. Great numbers OF
people were coming to the midnight
mass, but they all passed by little
Juliette with only an annoyed "Non,
non, non!" A little later there,was
almost nobody coming. She could
hear the organ playing. Mass had
begun.
She would have hurried home but
her feet were numb with the cold.
