THE LOOM OF LIFE.
All day, all night. I caa hear tbe jar
Of the loom of liteand near and far
It thrills with its deep and muffled
sound,
As the tireless wheels goal way s round.
Busily, ceassly, goes the leom,
lu the light of day, and the midnight's
gloom;
The wheels are turning early and late,
And the woof la wound in the warp of
fate. -
Click, click ! there's a thread of lore
, wove in; -Click,
click ! another of wrong and sin.
What a checkered thing will thislife be
When we see it unrolled in eternity!
When shall this wonderful web be
done?
In a thousand years, perhaps, or one.
Or -tomorrow? Who knoweth? Not
you or It
But the wheels turn on, and th shut
tles fly.
Are we spinners of wool for this life
web say?
Do we furnish the weaver a thread
each day ? -
It were better, then, O my friend, to
spin -
A beautiful thread than a thread of sin.
Ah, sad-eyed Jweaver, the years are
slow, -
But each one is nearer the end, I know;
Some day the last thread shall be wo
ven in -
God grant that it be love, instead of
- sin! . . '

IN WOMAN'S REALM. J
f
Cecil Rhodes's sister is, next to
Olive Scbreiner, the most interest
ing woman in South Africa today.
Her eccentricities are numerous,
and she is as famed for her dislike
of men as is her brother for his of
women. She is so decidedly of the
masculine type as to at once attract
attention. In complexion. and man
ner she closely resembles the Eng
liih squire of sporting prints, and
she has been endowed with a voice
to match. Indeed, there is nothing
feminine about her except her de
ference to tbe social conventionali
ties in always having, a woman
companion in close attendance upon
ben As she has an ample fortune,
many peculiarities are forgiven her,
while her impulsiye generosity wins
her many friends. Gn board a
steamer going down to Cape Town
recently she-regulated the handi
caps for the runnihg-matohe8, um
pired the chicken fights, and was
particularly active in inciting to
extraordinary efforts the contes
tants in a tug-of-war. Her home,
Groot Schur, is a beautiful country
place near Cape Town, where she
has made a zoological collection
that includes almost every wild
animal native to South Africa.
She has a better understanding of
the politics and statecraft of South
Africa than many a member of the
Colonial office. Of course her
views are the exact opposite of
those of Olive Schreiner, the Boers'
champion. -
In the death of Mrs. Mary Baker
the town of Stratford-upon-Avon
has lost one of its most interesting
antiquities, who claimed to be a
direct descendent of theHathaways'
of Shakspere's time, and the visitor
to Anne Hatbaway-S cottage was
shown the time-worn family Bible
where her pedigree was recorded.
Old travelers in Warwickshire
treasure the memory of her quaint
manners and her simplicity, and

pointed out to them by such a
kindly guide the ancient settle, the
stone in the garden upon which
Charles Dickens sat, the oaken
beams whose solidity evoked the
admiration of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the passage and the door
that William Black has associated
with Judith Shakspere; indeed,
one of the chief charms of Mrs.
Baker's guidance was her rambling
recollections of tbe. many distin
guished visitors to the cottage.
-
All black costumes are to be
fashionable again this year, but
thev are not tote made entirelv- in
black, unless intended for mourn
ing wear. Those velvet trimmings
that have just been, described are
used to brighten the black gowns,
and, besides, there ia a great deal
of black and white used with the
black. This may not be very new,
but tbe way in which it :s combined
with the black is very different
from anything that has been seen
before, and there-are a great many
novelties in the black and white
trimmings that are absolutely new.
The smooth-faced cloths are- used
for the rather smarter black gowns,
while, for regular head wear the
cheyiots, camel's-hair, and serges
are extremely popular. There are
also a great many black jackets
that are made to wear with differ
ent skirts as well as with the skirt
of .the gown itself. The black cos
tumes for afternoon and reception
wear can be made extremely elab
orate simply by the way in which
the revers are trimmed and by the
waist jvhich is worn with them. A
great many of the lighter-weight
cloths are used, and are made warm
enough by the interlining of wool
or chamois, and also of fur. It in
quite remarkable hew many more
fur-lined coats there are this year
than there have been for many
ears past, and it is still more re
markable to see how cleverly the
fur is put in so that it does notrin-j
terfere with the jacket fitting well.!
A Housewife's Soft Hands.
. A certain little housekeeper who
does all her own work and yet has
the lily-white hand that one reads
about, tells thus how she keeps her
hands in such good condition : -
"Tomatoes will take on any
stain. You know paring apples
makes your hands frightfully
black. I discovered that the to
mato can be used to take off this
stain, and since I have found it
out I keep one on my kitchen table
and apply it always after paring
fruit. In winter I use canned to
matoes. Rather a queer cosmetic,
isn't it? ';'''' I
"Then I am careful to wear;
gloves whenever it is possiblethe
rubber kind when I am washing1
dishes, and loose old kid gloves
when I sweep. I think, with pro
per care, any woman can keep her
hands soft and white, even if she
does housework."
Huge granny muffs are gaining
the ascendency over smaller ones,
and boas long enough to reach the
ground are driving out, collarettes
and the smaller capes. f
. '.. '
In the days of autumn house
parties some of the most beautiful
dresses finished are tea gowns. One
of delicate green crepe covered
with violets embroidered in their
natural colors is especially note
worthy. The long, trailing robe is
worn over an underdress of violet
mous8eline de sole, frilled to the
knees. Around the shoulder is a
drapery of crepe with long ends
falling on each side in front, like a
stole; The neckband is of helio
trope velvet curiously, harmonized
with the other colors. ,
The polonaise and princesse
gowns are exceedingly beautiful
and very smart, and now that they
are so universally worn, even the
cheaper dressmakers are able to
turn out very good imitations of
tbe style. A well-made princesse
dress is the most beautiful garment
a woman can wear, and a badly
made one is the worst.

A Matter of Coincidence.
Original Observations.
Speaking of strange coinciden
ces," said the talkative man, "I
ran across one this afternoon that
I do not think has ever been dupli
cated. I was taking lunch in a
downtown cafe today, and at the
table next to me were seated four
men. They were strangers to one
another, but, under the spell of
what the waiter had set before
them,' were talking like old friends.
( 'By Jove!' said one of them
suddenly, hbiB is my birthday!'
" Why,' exclaimed the other, so it
is mine !' . 5
14 'Mine, too,' said' the third.
" 'And mine, too,' added the
fourth man.
"They stared at one another for
a moment, and then the first man
said : .
" I am 53 today.' .
" 'Why, that is my age !' exclaim
ed another. '
" 'Mine, too,' said the third man.
" Gentlemen,' exclaimed the
fourth man, 'that is my age, too !'
" 'A- strange thing about my
birthday,' said the first speaker, 'is
that I once broke my arm upon
that day, and since then my arm
always .pains me upon that day.'
" 'What birthday was it?' asked
the second man in a strange voice.
" 'My seventh,' answered the
first man.
" 'Gentlemen,' shouted the sec
ond man, 'I broke my arm on my
seventh birthday, and "ever since
upon that day my arm has pained
me!'
" 'I have had the same experi
ence,' returned the third man.
" 'And I also,' said the fourth
man. " ,
" 'I fell from a hay mow,' said
the first man.
" 'So did I,' came from the three
in one voice. "
"Gentlemen,, said the first
speaker, 'it lacks but one thing to
complete this strange coincidence.
Upon my birthday I always find
myself unable to speak the truth.'
" 'It's the same way with me,'
promptly returned the second man.
" 'Here, too,' said the third.
"And the fourth man broke . the
spell by asking what it would be."
