If the party to the second pu.lt is not a quar ter of an hour behind hand. While women are sliK'nallad us Ihemcat est sinner against punctuality Ho le are not evidences wanting of their possibilities In promptness. A beautiful legend 1- frequently iilluded to In this eonneetlon as showing how the unpunetual habit of one woman 1 d her husband to utilise the frnnment of time which would otherwise have been wasted In the composition of a learned and valuable treatise. This poor woman did perhaps fall In her wifely duty of being at the head of her table at the exact hour of dinner. Hut when she happened to be on time and found that her lord and master was engaged and was further pluming hmiseli on taking advantage of her tardiness she made a point of daily giving him these prcrlom moments. Vor 'her husband's tirut location she thus be. came late, and with this self-effacement of her sex allowed herself to be censored by this same grstltied husband and to be cited as a warning to others of the evils of tardl- eeper Beautiful Braids With the modern rest for worKinn out every available Inch of decorative vulu. the minds of Inventive trend have concen trated on the possibilities of braid, and huve developed tills time honored trimming In a hundred ways.

And of so " souple " a quality, and almost Invariably of silk, If this braid of latter day approval that Innu merable fantasies In the shape of inednllioiis, wheels, and plaited motifs can be maneu vered III It. And it Is to these we shell be asked to look for much of our early spring decorative achievements. There comes to us. moreover, direct from 1'arls, a cloth braid embroidered in colors, through which a tine gold line mcMiiders, while utiolher plaited braid Is formed of tine strips of bather and gold braid. One of our Mi st tailors has brought to the fore a sitvlal plain! bnud cJTevt of his own, that Is carried out In a line tubular nuallly, and usually In i entrusting colors, mill as dark blue and silver, or pale blue and mignonette green, or, again, dark gold and untarnishable silver looks exceedingly well. I And this Individual contrivance the great man employs ehlelly In tho form of mollis, or he Introduces It as a facing to some inci dental rivers on one of his chic coatees. I'rvphcllc vision also perceive an alliance, of braid and lace iiijnciivcnti into blouses. mart little coats, and possibly entire toi lets. A princesse, fashioned of alternate lines of loosely plaited silk build and coarse black lace, has a certain seductive sug gestlveness that Is found Irresistible.-, Odds And ends of accordion plaited pauze or chiffon make pretty ft o'clock tea Jackets, and here fashion Is most elastic. You can wear the tea Jacket short or long as your fabric ulluws. A llchullke collar or a V shaped vest of lace at the neck Is a charming finish, ami the sleeves can be picturesque, long, uud hanging, or short and puffed to the elbow. line of the prettiest Jackets I have ever seen was made out of a length of pale blue zenana. There was not sutlielont material for a fuH sleeve, so It was tinht to the elbow, cut in scallops, finished with some accordion plaited blue chiffon edged with a remnant of Valen ciennes lace. The collar was made of white muslin w ith Insertion and edgings of Valen ciennes, fastening to one side w ith u big chou of palest pink and blue chiffon. They w ere all remnants and when ironed out looked quite pretty, fresh, and clean, making a really charming anil useful Jacket. Out of u remnant of cream oriental satin a friend of mine made a beautiful nightgown. Of a remnant of good lace she made a square sailor collar, with a broad hemstitching of satin at the edge;. The slet-ves consist of a small puff to the elbow, turned baekXvith a cuff of the same lace and hemstitched satin as the collar. She would have preferred a little mure " l'rilliiicss " in the sleeve of this garmeiil. but her remnants did not permit of it, and so she has to content herself with the knowledge that she has the fashionable elbow sleeve of the moment. cAfjfw Orens Dainties VKAIj UALIJS.

For tin sake of those who sprung from our own root and for Ihe s ikoof the Bleat future race the evil li.hiritunce should be as It can be brought to naught, and legacies of I tght eousness. right living, and right thinking be bequeathed to our posterity.

The Coming $kirt As shown In the smal lest tailor made mod els, just clears the ground, il is cut the same length all ihe way round, and is full at the feet. Heing so full it would not be blooming if cut too short, neither would it soil the long coat and Jacket which are still worn. " liut there are some occasions on which we always wear the short skirl. Hkirts for walking, p ir example, clear the ground, and for skating llu an 'still shorter, lilted on the hips, and worn over a pretty frilled pet ticoat, for. be Ihe skirl long or short, it is full round the feet.

The Viennese tailors seem to favor the severe princess styles, and the corselet skirt and bolt, in Ihe in w colored chillis, with seams outlined with braid. Pale gray chilli and sllvi r lira I1 nn a charming combination, and so are black braid and black cloth with a touch of silver. The corselet skirt has to be beautifully cut an. I lilted, and boned as carefully as 'he cor.-et. Tile top of the bodice or blous, Is generally in bolero form and a pretty mix ture of vilvet, lice. fur. or what ya'u will, but something soli Is required to tone down the hardness of the skirt. Decorators Know how much the simplicity and dig nity of a-good room are diminished h crowd ing It Willi Useless trllhs.
