THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

THE STEPMOTHER.

It is surely one of the most dif- Scult and delicate tasks in the world that a woman can be asked to under- take that of succeeding to another woman's throne, in the vacant king- dom of her home, and making a success of her reign.

The stepmother often begins her career in an atmosphere of suspicion and prejudice. Her new family are jealously watching her every action, her new husband-however loyal and devoted he may be must in- evitably be making comparisons in his own mind. Even the servants are summing her up and judging. As in the case of the mother-in-law, the stepmother is suffering from centuries of misrepresentation. As soon as it can read she is held

up

to every child as an object of ridicule always unkind and some- times cruel. In many fairy stories, where she is supposed to have child. ren of her own, she is always repre- sected as tyrannising over her hus band's beautiful daughters, and fav. ouring her own ugly ones—as in the.; story of Cinderella. Small wonder, then, that children who have had the misfortune to lose their own mother- are not prepared to welcome a sub- stitute for her with open arms.

Still, the difficult task can be, and often is, carried through success fully. Given tact, a good heart, and a capability to see other people's point of view, it is possible for a second wife to make a very happy home..

* Advance slowly "is a very good motto. to take. Every alteration she' is tempted to make should be well thought over, and very deliberately carried through. The confidence of her new family cannot be forced- it must be earned, like their affec tion. It is better, if her age allows it to begin by being "older sisterly' rather than motherly.

LUXURIOUS WINTER COAT.

A new afternoon coat, fashioned in black velvet and trimmed with blue fox fur, shown at a recent winter dress show, will be coveted by many women. Cut on long straight lines, the coat is trimmed with lines of black cire braid, ar ranged in a scroll pattern. The fur appears on the hem and cuffs, and makes a new collar line, being swathed tightly round the neck and

GERMANY'S POLICE WOMEN.

AN IMPORTANT TITLE. Prussia's new budget foreaces the employment of 150 feminine police officials, ranging from expert criminologista to police counsellors.

Three of the women in Prussia's police force bear the ominous Ger plan title of "Polizeigefaengnis- shauptwachtmeisterin," This title" must be used by subordinates in addressing the three women-officials -a rule, which critics assert is an incentive to insubordination. The tongue-twisting title means "chiel guard of the police jail'

An additional 48 women among the Prussian police will have their ponderous dignity enhanced by being known as Polizeigefaengnis- soberwachtmeisterinnen, which de notes a similar but slightly less authoritative position in the police Lorce,

In Germany, observance of titles is an iron-clad custom and there is none of the cameraderie, prevalent among American police, which per- mits a subordinate to address his superior as, "Hey, chief...

The Frankfurther Zeitung, while welcoming the increased employ. ment of women in the police estab- lishment, expresses regret that these ladies should be clothed with such unbecoming titles.

THE NEW JEWELLERY.

Afternoon and evening jewels are perfectly charming. Even the Bimulated stones and their settings are designed with so much care that they are often distinctly expensive; but it is possible to find necklets, bracelets, and brooches of carved glass which are very effective, and make, a delightful finish to a simple Irock
