Black satin, draped just enough at one side to raise the folds in soft, auccessive ripples, forms the skirt of this model. The foundation of the bodice is of black satin, also, cut after the fashion of a plain. bandeau. Draped net, polka dotted with jet, falls from the waist as an overskirt, and is gathered over the bondeau as a bodice. Quite the point of the entire costume is the jet girdle ending in pendant tassels with a foundation of green ribbon,

ORNAMENTAL SPATS.
Spats and light coloured ones at that are. I hear, to be a part of the smart woman's attire this winter. I have seen some elegant specimen's in strong white linan, with a monogram or butterfly painted on the front! One pair had a realistic green serpent worked in silk coiled round the ankle. Some of the spats, beauti- fully out in soft brown suedette, and without foolish ornamenta-. tions, are really attractive and workmanlike articles.
A NOVEL BERIT.
The ubiquitous beret must have a special touch of originality to justify its existence as it ranks with the crowd at once.
A very smart girl wore one made, the one half of beaver and the other of narrow picat, edged corded ribbon of half a dozen different colours, all radiating from the centre of the tam-o-shantar. It had a real touch of chic.

EGYPTIAN DECORATIONS "NEXT.
Popular as the Chinese note has been in decoration, it seems as if it were about to be outdone by the Egyptian type of decora- tion, as exemplified in the latest cretonnes and ornaments. Some of the newest chair-covers and hangings are embellished with as many hieroglyphics, scarabs, serpents, and birds as Cleopatra's Needle, and their colouring is skin to that of the old Egyptian mummy wrappings in its blues, terra-cottan, and browns. Some delightful vases, and bowls too, are being made in exact imitation of those of baked clay with figures painted thereon in black, such as are found in the old Egyptian tombs.

SOME SIMPLE REMEDIES,
WHEN TIRED TRY THESE.
It is the rare man or woman in these days who does not complain. that he or she is "so tired.”
Warn
Even the strong and energetic have occasional tired feelings, and the less vigorous put up a constant battle against fatigue. Some physicians go so far as to people severely against becoming over-tired. Getting "80 tired too often is a dangerous business. If it becomes chronic it is a warning of organic trouble deserving the attention of an expert-but when it is the reason- able fatigue following hard work it may be relieved by simple home treatment.
If possible, when much fatigued, lie down, even for five minutes. Before lying down wring light- weight towels out of very hot water and lay over the eyes and forehead. Lis still, perfectly relaxed and quiet, until the towels cool
If there is no time to lie down try drinking several glasses of water, either cold or hot. Stand before an open door or window. and take a dozen very deep breaths.
器。
If exceptionally tired drink glass of milk, hot, or medium temperature, but never ice cold.Sip it slowly and eat a biscuit with it. Or break s TAW egg in a glass and swallow it. Often fatigue is caused by hunger and lack of reserve strength.
When the eyes are tired and painful bathe them with an eye- cup, or a small soft sponge dipped in s lotion made of a saturated solution of horacic acid in boiled water, to which is added a few drops of witch hazel
