Y answored the laay in black, “I've thought if we could ‘only divide the city into small districts and canvass each house we would be surprised at the donations, not only in_clothing, but in other necessities of all kinds. There are plenty of homes where good gar- ments haig in the closets until destroyed by mice or moths just because no one thinks they amount to anything.

A way to the bundles delivered could very easily be vrovided, and lots of the people whom we helped last win- ter were more than anxious to do some- thing in return; they feel better and are no doubt bettor satisfied if they help a littlo themselves, It is a shame that people will be so careless, but they are, vou know, and more in referenco to mat ters of almsgiving than anything else. You have to keop right after them all the time and keep jogging them to new effort. 1 presume it is as much because they think a little does no good and then among a cortain class of working peoplo help is given to their friends right along, not e in $he way of charity, but when one has work or monay and another has not they will di- vide with cach other. There are no froer hearted people in the world than laboring people, and yet they do not give largely in proportion to their means to eharity in a public way, be- cause they do have anything to spare, just for t reason, that they help one another constantly.” “That is the best w: said the woman with the brown eyes and wavy hair who hiad not joined in the convef- sation up to this time, “Isaw the prot- tiost scene last Sundav morning 1 have witnessed for many a day.

The way charity is dispensed nowadays 18 very rovolting to one who has any feelings. Oh, of course I know it is thought to be best, and in fact the only way possible to keop from doing more harm thun good, but it does seem as if wise people might find some loss disagroeable way of doing it.” “You always were too tender hearted for this world, anyway,” said the old lady with white hair. “*We each have opportunities to do deeds of kindness and true charity every day that never are told and that have no connection with any society, or indeed with the public of any so¢ial science problems of any sort. These we do of course bo- cause we are women and have the chance given us to get out of ourselves and make some one happier.

I rinasse and D'Alembert, but adds Mme. du Doffand was past 50, and blind, when she made a friend of Horace Walpolo. The friendship of men was necessary to her: it was what survived of her love making. *I am not sure.” he continues, *“that friendship is possible between two young people of opposite sex. One knows perfectly well what will be said—cannot two people bo- come friends without the tie being broken or spoiled by the intervention of hat other person? = Well, you see, it is present as a possibility; as'a d element.” wks of the colleges of America the young men and women sit on tho same benehes <o study or listen to lecturos, and pass the same examina- tions, but have not succeeded in creat- ing o new atmosphere of friendship or Platonic love. ‘“The he argues, 50 many obstacles interposed by socioty, by convention, even by nature,” to this kind of friendship.

The flower and perfume are also exclusive so far as permanent use is concorned, and the grirl who wishes to retain caste must avoid trespassing upon her neighbor's tastes in this direction, A very charming girl who has just come to her New York home, sunburned and happy after a mountain trip, is a tviolet” girl, She is a tall, slender blonde, with a perfect seashell com- plexion, and the delicate tint she has chosen accords well with her dainty prettiness. 1 visited her pretty home the other afternoon and she entertained me in a “'violet room,” 1t sounds ratier fetehing, does it not?

Everything in the room reproduced the tender tints of the violet and the walls and ceilings re- flected back the same exquisite hue. The faintest possible odor of wood violet was in the alr and the gencral eifect was one of grace and beauty.

As far as the early importations show, capes will not be quite so popular as the baggy half jackels. In materials silks promise to be more generally worn than at any time since cloths came so prominently in favor. When the whistling winds of Novem- ber call for capes we shall see the slop- ing shoulder once more queen of fashion. Underskirt fringes, frilled sle tunic and kilted “dress skirts appear among features of the newast autumn gowns. A carefully gored silk, and bavi inner side will fashion demands. The woman’s first choice in the prep- aration of her fall wardrobe is a coat or wrap, which already one finds comfort- able on chilly evenings. It goes without saying that the plain skirt will be worn again, because no other style supplies so advantageous a medium for heavy cloths, Some of the new skirts have seven ores, some three, and many are cut in il skirt stylo with the sesm down the back, but in any case thoy narrow closely about the hips, Ombre satin surah, shading through many handsome tints, is used this seuson for serpentine blouses with velvet col- lar and cuffs, and for fancy linings to capes, jackets and tabbed dress trim- mings. Among new fur capes, moderately high shoulder effects stili’ appear, but some of the newest and most recherche wodels have perfectly flat shoulders but very full flaring cape collars or pointed ‘collarettes, Moires of all kinds, bayadere stripes laid on crossways, finely dotted or largor spotted surfaces, repped and corded sur- faces, satin grounds troche, ombre and glace silks aro shown in endless variety among the new importations, The Baroness Burdett-Coutts, who is said to be the only woman croated a P 5 by reason of her great public services. owns a famous tiara of dia- monds that once graced the head of the unfortunate Marie Antoinette, The newest bodices have shoulder seams five and a half inches long, and all the trimming falls from a line over the point of the shoulder, which adds to the slopping effect of the bottle-like aurves now demanded by the mode. The fall coats and jackets ave distinct- ively stylish affairs and yet are as com- fortable as a wrapper, which is a com- bination most desirable, when one takes into consideration those seasons whoen to be stylish meant to be decidedly uncom- fortable, Bleeves will be full, but not high at the shoulder, widening out iu a puff taward the elbow to narrow again at the wrist, or flowing in the olden style with dainty undersleeves of lace or muslin, may restore again to favor the now dis- carded bracelet.

Mr.Moore of Noblesville, Ind., in a recent sermon said: “God made the carth in six days and then he rested; then he made man and rested again} then he made woman: and since that time neither God nor man has had a rest.” Whereupon a number of women in the congregation very propovly with- drew to express their disapproval of the insult to their sex. Something over thirty years ago seven women were introduced into the United States treasury by General Spinner as an economie experiment. Today over 6,000 women are envolled in the service of the United States government. The last of the original'seven women is Miss Jlizaboth Stoner, who keepns the pay rolls of the United States navy.
