Mandarin headgear has inspired 'a' new millinery model made in black felt, with its round cap-like effect and pointed crown. The only trim. ming is a large, beetle, with wings extended, cut out in oxidised silver

AMUSING BROOCHES.

Developing children's reasoning powers requires no little care and great patience, but the effort must be made if they are to be as alert as the little girl with the autograph book. Some one wrote in it
"God made the little niggers, He
made them in a night, He made them in a hurry and forgot to paint them white.” "Well, came the lightning com- ment; "if they were little niggers, He wouldn't want to paint them white."-F.T.C.-Daily Express.
