Or she made cookies for the Women's Exchange, enabled by the fact that her gifts were the grocery bill to sell them more than women who make bread for a living. For aided by scriptural argument, she reminded the woman sewing at her house to go without lunch, thus giving the woman an opportunity to make a sacrifice, and adding to Daysey Mayme's mite box the price of the woman's first. Faithfully, year after year, she had filled a mite box to be handed to her pastor Easter morning. But this year she resolved to do more. Not only would she fill a mite box, but she would make a personal sacrifice of life and labor. "I will invite all the women I do not see in the dinner with me," she decided after and spiritual reflection, "it will be good for me to overcome my prejudices. I will make out a list of 46 women, and invite one a day, all through Lent." At night Daysey Mayme, with that feeling of spiritual exaltation that only the really good knew, mailed her invitations. "I will give my Lenten sacrifice," she said as she dropped the letters in the mail box. Next morning, 46 women received the invitations. For dinner at Daysey's, Mayme's. There was long and serious deliberation on the part of every woman in the house. And next day every woman made her acceptance. I make the acceptance my Lent which, if she had, would have been the only one I had. Convicted Afterward. Mrs. Benham—Do you remember that I gave you no decided answer the first time you promised? Benham—Yes, I remember that you used to send me a letter. 40 Is a Woman’s Glorious Phrase When a woman realizes that her youth is slipping by! Almost 40? She looks back and sees that first vivid hair-over her ear. She jerked it off and laughed! Then she remembers, combing her hair each morning, and carefully looking and picking out two or three glistening white threads. And the next year! She wily hairs pulled out one day were replaced by twice as many the next. And she drifted on. Are you just drifting toward a young-haired old age at 40, the age? Should be the glorious prime of "Gum's life"? We wish, jam, would get our book-harm" and read it. At any of our stores, or sent by mail upon request.

Pity the feelings of one Mr. Fritz Jouda, manager of one of Paris' largest dressmaking firms, who came over to the United States to introduce the new “Tour de Lac,” which is a skirt and not a lake promenade, and then found that it had gotten here before him. The painful truth is that our Paris friends have to get up very early to get the fashion worm if they want to beat America at it. The new skirt, which is to be popularized this spring, is much fuller around the hips and sometimes it bags at the knees, but no woman need feel that she is to regain the privilege of the use of her legs. No, indeed! The skirts are just as tight as they can be around the ankles. But they do make it less of a problem to sit down and rise again without undue exertion. The new spring fashions and the new materials are illustrated here. Among the materials used will be crepes of all kinds from the six-cent cotton crepe to the exquisite silk materials that are crepe in effect and exceedingly high in price. Sicilienne and mohair have come back into fashion with a bang and will be welcomed by the sensible women as well as the men, who are used to mohair for summer. Up-to-the-Minute Jokes On New Year's eve in a Yorkshire town two men were carried to the hospital—victims of an explosion. One had had the misfortune to have his nasal organ blown off; the other had lost one of his ears. The two were placed in adjacent beds, and in the morning the one minus his nose shouted to his neighbor: "Happy New Year to thee, mate!" "Happy New Year to thee, mate!" "Happy New Year to thee, and mind this own business," growled the other. It behooves one to be careful even in so prosaic a matter as the precise day upon which one manicures one’s nails. For it is popularly supposed that trim them on Monday and you will receive news before the week is out. Do them on a Tuesday, and it is almost certain you will inherit or buy a new pair of shoes somewhere about that time. For sustained health, do your paring on a Wednesday; but, to obtain wealth, defer the operation till Thursday. If you would avoid trouble of any kind, never touch your fingers with scissors on Friday. -Miss Saturday, too. If you are not a good voyager. But of all other days in the week, beware of cutting them on the Sabbath day. The outfitter came forward to attend to the nervous old beau, who was topping his bald and shining poll with a large and gaudy silk handkerchief. And what can I do for you? he asked. I want a little help in the way of a suggestion," said the old gentleman. "The truth is, I am going to a fancy dress ball this evening, and I want a distinctly original costume—something quite out of the common that nobody else would think of. What do you suggest?" The shopman looked thoughtful for a while, studying his client closely. Then he said: "Well, why not augat your head and go as a pill?" An Irishman and an Englishman once joined their funds to buy a dog, and the Englishman was very indignant sometime after to find that Pat had sold the dog and spent all the money. "You know," said Pat, "I also paid half the cost and so ought half the dog. I only called my half to sell, and surely it wasn't my fault that you had followed and couldn't be got back in any means." Evening gown of gooseberry colored watered silk over lace, suitings, ratine and cotton as well as silk poplins are immensely popular, and many of the new materials are figured fancy cloths looking like flimsy brocades, beautiful and vivid in color and design. Cretonnes, especially Chinese cretonnes, are used for trimmings and sometimes for entire gowns. The choice of material never has been so great as it is this year, and it would take a very fussy person indeed not to find something that pleased her and that expressed her individual taste. Everything is draped. Blouses are still loose with long shoulder seams, and for afternoon and street dresses the sleeves are long, too. For evening wear the short sleeve forms part of the drapery of the bodice. Skirts are, generally speaking, much fuller around the hips, with pleats or side drapery tucked into a belt, xvhich is of varying heighth, either normal or a trifle higher. The fullness of the skirt is manipu lated in many clever way's, and shows the skill of the maker. Mostly it is twisted around the limbs and caught In at the knees, as shown in the Illus tration of the black satin gown with the lace bodice. Here one can see the separate train effect, which is a kind of lengthened tunic. The same picture shows the Medici collar, which is grow ing in favor. The Russian tunic in its modified form is the main idea of the smart lit- Farmer —If you want to get to the village, you must go this way. Tourist—But the guidepost points in the other direction. "That is right. We have pointed the finger in the wrong direction to keep beggars and robbers from entering the village." "She had him arrested for kissing her forcibly, and he was fined $25.” "Yet they are good friends now.” “Yes; he announced in open court that it was worth the money.” I 11 g 5 3 rtfSweW* For th e Fourth Time f rffli rWi vFmP This Week-* J?AT butter, but don’t waste it.

ON'T you remember in the long ago How you carried her books through the wind and snow To the little white schoolhouse far back on the hill, How you taught her to skate on the pond by the mill— Your little sister? Ah! you do remember—though the years have flown And your boy has a sister of his own, And you’ve taught him well to protect her name From every breath of shadow and stain— His little sister! And that boy of yours, the other day, He came to you in dread dismay And whispered a tale that made you afraid; Still—she was "merely a serving maid," But—She was somebody’s sister! For "boys will be boys" is what you thought, And you didn’t remind him of what he was taught. Because, after all, you only meant? That all his chivalry should be spent On his own little sister! So the world lies crushed beneath its weight of woe, And ever and always it will be so Till men shall learn to protect from snares Somebody’s sister as well as theirs! Be they laborers weary or ladies grand, It's ever the same in every land. There is someone who loves and honors them Among the rush and greed of men, Some one who calls them "sister." Among the real novelties are the new shapes in sunshades. Some are made like pagodas, some like high turrets, and the one illustrated shows a distinct "caprice" on the part of Dame Fashion. It is of figured taffeta in a creamy ground. Among the novelties in hats is one that the rainy daisy will appreciate. The turban of white maline is absolutely warranted to stand any kind of storm, and if need be can be used as a water pitcher. The new tulle is weather and waterproof. What Could He Say?
