SPORTSMANSHIP.
A GOOD LOSER.
To be a "good loser" is to win more respect and genuine liking than to carry off all the honours of the tennis court, golf course, and bridge table.
The true sportsman has the in- stinct of fairness and justice. The winner-she is modest and from "swank"; the loser-she commiserates with her partner, and offers ready congratulations to her successful rival.
It is a pity that success and tri-

THE SEASON'S COLOURS.
The fashionable colours this autumn are a deepening of the, pastel shades which came in the spring. The definito, vigorous col- our is still unpopular, and subt- Ieties, are the favourities,
The ten most fashionable col- ours have these decorative, names: : Mauvette: This is wine with a splash of purple in it, a rather melancholy colour.
Tulip loaf: A blend of chart- reuse and almond green, and not unlike the fancy of the Sherwood gallants who followed Robin Hood. Sandalwood:-A warm blend of fawn and an earthy pink...
Delphinium: A very dark del phinium. It is this colour, which is making people say that navy blue is at last fashionable again.
Pimpernel: Here is romance. A tingling "scarlet, not quite as exuberant as the old-pillar-box red at 'Home.
Copper becch: A russet brown which should comfort many, dull November days.
Barleycorn: The colour of corn- fields-rather more than ready for cutting,
Burgundy: Wine in a smeared glass; a dull, rich colour.
Golden brown: The ever-popular brown, of which most people are tired.
Mulberry More cheerful than Mauvette. A less romantic name for it might be Beetroot.
