"I Shan Weep Anon; Good Tom
Drumme Lend Me a Handkercher."
Shakespeare, 1601.
NO article of modern dress has
.. had a more romantic, historic
career than the handkerchief; be-
ginning in canj iuuii . uiuca,
wept into, fought over through the
days of chivalry; written and poet
ized about in the time of Queen
Elizabeth and Marie Antoinette.
And who will say that these pretty
thoughts do not hover around dain
ty handkerchiefs such as they're
snowing at Thompson Belden's?
Exquisite bits of linen artistry as
individual as the costumes they will
accompany. Thesa bits of loveli
ness carry an instant appeal. The
flash of a jewel is no more stimu
lating to tht aesthetic sense than
the flutter of a handkerchief of
Madeira embroidery very fine and
dainty at from 60c to $2.75, or thost
from France and Spain at from 50c
to $15. Carrachmacrosj lace at
from $8.50 to $17.50 or th se charm
ful bits of linen for the little folks
in boxes at 35c or sold separately
at ,10c and 20c. There's . subtle
charm in a handkerchief Rift chosen
from this department.
Every woman should learn ribbon
craft Tht designers areconstantly
busy making hosts of beautiful new
ribbon novelties.

usually lovely showing of party

$19.50, while cunningly placed in
front of a fetching gold cloth crea

with the last three tortoise sticks,
holding long drooping feathers, un
usually beautiful. Dainty pink
feathers fluffily conscious of charm,
peep coquettishly round the brim

Shimmering crepe de chine and airy

A Gift for the Whole vFamily
IS, one of the fruit baskets which
they arrange at the Sommera Spe

fresh and preserved, nuts in the
shell, salted, spiced and candied,
sweets of all kinds, there's an offer

topped with a great scarlet or green
ribbon bow, breathes the very spirit
of the Yuletide. 'But do get your
order in the shop in plenty of time
for artistic work and prompt de
livery. These bassets are packed
carefully for cut-of-town deliveries.
I'll be most happy to assist in the

A World of Fashion Has Gone Em
broidery Mad.
WHY, do you know that serge
frocks show colorful nosegays
of yarn embroidery? The Ideal
Button and Pleating- company, 305
Brown block, Sixteenth and Doug
las, tells me that there's absolutely
no limit to embroidery possibilities.
You may be interested to know the':
Silvered net plays a large part in
young girls' evening frocks. The
net comes in all the accepted eve
ning colors and the silvering is ac
complished by machine in a scroll
design. Usually the net is scal
loped like lace at the edge.
Black velvet embroidered with
big discs in white silk is an effective
combination in one of the new after
noon frocks.
Self tone embroidery on duvetyne
frocks is the only bit of decoration
needed on the frock.
There's a great deal of accordion
pleating being done in this shop at
the present time. Order early for
Christmas gifts. .
'Twos in the calm and silent night!
The Senator of haughty Rome,
Impatient, urged his chariofs flight,
From lordly arches, gleaming, swell
His breast with thoughts of boundless sway:
What recked the Roman what befell
A paltry province far away,
In the solemn midnight,
v . Centuries ago!
Within that province far away
Went plodding home a weary boor;
A streak of light before him lay, ,
Fallen through half -shut stable door
Across his path. He passed, for nought
Told what was going, on within;
How keen the stars! his only thought,
The air how calm and cold and thin,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
It is the calm and solemn night!
A thousand bells rihg out and throw
Their joyous peals abroad, and smite
The darkness, charmed and holy now!
The night that erst no name had worn,
To it a happy name is given;
For in that stable lay, new-born,
The peaceful Prince of earth and heaven,
In the solemn midnight, '
Centuries ago! .
Centuries Ago, by Alfred Dommett.
Instructive Toys Bring Joy to Boys.

shelves for father, fixing up all kinds
of conveniences round the house and
