"By n n e w regalatioa. bo»a«t« ar« allowed only in th« upper circle at the Cowri Theatre, I » » d o n . a restriction tbat causes rejoicm*- amon^r the male portion of tbe audience."

Tbat is probably w h » t it will bare to come to, even ia onr proad laud o< freedom. The a n a of tlte law m evidently tbe only thia* strong enoturb to nsju ( j n t h * saab has a s * sataswa, thorn haughty » » o - befbrs which every asea has craned and every tongae has - .—

As tbe world grow* better bred certain laws of SOOd conduct and good taste become unwritten. W e harslenrned much. There is much remaining, else the millenium vrould be upon us. We still have some little peculiarities that eould be elimin­ated with good effect. Some waits that -hare descended to US evon from the days when the founder of the family- climbed trees for a Hying, and there were no tailors in the land.

Then, when citizens itot In each other's way there w a s a grand racket on the spot, somebody died and nothing more was said. Now. the pun­ishment is in the name of the law, but the offense, modified, remains.

We no longer, as a general thing, kill men to pet their dinner or their lady love. We are thought­less, greedy, inconsiderate o£ others, determined above all things to do as w e please when w e please. Hence hence a great many things.

Society, so far as it has gone, is obliged to pro­tect itself from its own undoing. You can be pre­vented from building a wall too close to your neighbor's window, or tellbig lies about him, or holding two seats in the car when you bave paid for one, or smoking in places where you are asked not to. Y o u can wear a high hat at the theatre hut it is a public nu something that makes the public uncomfortable, and the sooner it is restricted b y l a w the better.

By all means let them have the "upper circle", all but the four front rows.

It is rumored that we are to have a paper mill.

cmusTXAS Tarsus. It can't be denied even by us who love it best

tbat this is a very perplexing season, and if we were not so absolutely sure about its being worth while w e should wonder whetber it was or not. And if by any chance a doubt should lurk in a dark corner of our minds, just le t us wait until Christmas morning and find that our cherished weaknesses have been spied ou t and ministered to, and our own gifts have turned out successes and then see if the candle isn't even small for tbe game.

Nfo matter how well we plan, there are almost always "just one or two more" to be thought of in a hurry, and suggestiOHS if not specially good or new are apt to fit in.

Your jnst-gone-to-hoiisekeepiiigfriend willsure-ly be pleased with a work basket for her guest room, done in color to match and fitted with all the things for which tbe feminine mind can offer an emergency. Or one of those pretty and con­v e n i e n t felt covered writing tablets with all the fixings of paper, pens and ink. Also to match of course and"perhaps with a hit of painting or em­broidery. Or a calendar designed to suit, o h b u t b e sure you knowherta^tc in decoration or that" Your 0WII is gOo 1. There are times when even angels must walk softly, or perchance even wait on the door mat. Then if she (.your friend I goes to the market, and being a proper housewife she doubt­less does, she will need a case to oarry her pass book iu, made of the-coarse linen used fur hook covers, or leather, or anything else suitable.

Somebody said there was.nothing which tended to simplify existence like a well organized system of bags. It is even so. And we none of us have them all. Piece bag. party bag, shoe bag. skate bag, fan bag, bucron-bag, opera glass bag, thread bag, scrap bag, book bag, laundry bag. sponge bag, hot water bag. hot water bag bag. This la.-.t should.be of flannel, daintily embroidered and drawn up with ribbons.

Speaking of cozies a pretty oue for a tea pot is easily made hy cutting the legs off a Japanese doll and giving her a heavy quilted skirt, and a tiny tray to hold, with a doll's cup and saucer on it. To 1)8 sure a wide-skirted Japanese woman would be rather incongunus, but there is no use being too fussy,

A little porcelain slate painted with f«rget-me. nots and inscribed with the days of the week- for memoranda, is something anybody would like to have. We don't cover our own books of course but we do feel safer to have borrowed ones pro­tected. A useful cover to answer .the purpose wi th any ordinary sized hook is of heavy water Color paper, linen, leather, silk «.r velvet lined and stiffened. A pocket turned at the bottom >erv<-s to hold tbe book in place and there may lie rib buns to tie. The ileeurati OUS of course affording to the art of the makei-.

They are reviving, just why it nor easy t.. see. the copying of engravings Siu embroidery and

i f - ta pn-these are used for the oruameuta.tiim lows and'sachets.

To make a pretty rack for cards or invitation* cut seven wild roses, abmu four inches at-ross from celluloid or water-color paper and "pa ill them. Jfake two slits in each just below the middle and run in pink ribbon an inch and a half wide. On the seven spaces of ribbon .letter the davs „f th-j week. Of course there is a smart bow .tl ll e top for it to hang by.

The proper footstool for an invalid to Lave is <.f feathers packed tightly in a ti.-king ease about eighteen inches in diameter and .-i^-ht in height Broad ribbons are placed across over rut covering to help keep the cushion tirm cm the bottom is a piece of Brussels carpet .to prevent n from skating over the floor after Ihr peculiar!) offensive manner of ordinary foot-.ro..;s.
