THE ADVANTAGE OF LIGHT READING.
As the dress mode became more complicated and more feminine, hats followed in the same directions, and the models of this winter are, as you know, really delightful and very becoming.

MULES.
SULKY SHOES FOR PRETTY FEET.
I wonder why Mules," don't you 7 Mules the quadruped sort, I inean have not got a very enviable reputation, and yet we call very prettiest and most extravagent form of feminine footwear after them. I wonder if the connection lies in the word "boudoir " the room where they are intended to be worn, for boudoir comes, I believe, from the French verb bouder," meaning to sulk!
So we wear our sulky shoes in the rooms to which we retire to suik, but one would have to be a very mauvaise charactère indeed to sulk when wearing the perfectly ador- able mules which have been design- ed for this winter, examples of which you will see in Lane, Craw ford's Ladies' Saloon.
To begin with the shape is so charmingly quaint.
Most of them have square blocked toes and small Louis heels. One lovely pair, con- trived of cherry red crêpe de chine bound with gold kid, is shaped like An Egyptian sandel. Then the mate- rials. Mostly crêpe de chine, three tones of one colour, or three con- trasting colours, are used along the new modernistic lines, with strap- pings, heels, or linings of gold or silver kid. Yellow and black crepe de chine is a most attractive com- bination and a lovely effect is achieved by the use of three tones of leaf green silk with silver kid. Coloured tinsel brocades are also used, with heels of gold or silver kid, and plain gold tissue makes a very smart shoe with a pointed toe. Pale pink satin has encrustrations of gold and silver kid, while cerise satin is trimmed with a large silk.

For the brain worker who goes to bed mentally weary and yet with brain alert and his body merely tired though brain work, aleep comes less readily and is less sound.
The first essential is a good well sprung bed, the second wisely chosen bed covers. In the summer the problem of bed coverings resolves itself into a question of providing against chills whito keeping as cool a possible, but in the winter it is question of keeping warm.

A little girl, aged four yearly was having tea and wanted Aume chocolate cake. She was told that she must eat her bread and butter first.
This she would unt do, in spite of her love for that variety of cake.
So finding her parents were adamant, she said her grace us follows: Thank God for my good tea, Amen. It wasn't really, but it doesn't matter."

Starting Low, Mental Digestion,
There is a bleakness in being born emancipated and brought up in
an atmosphere of enlightenment. I don't see why and should not be as proud of a mental rise in the world as the typical millionaire is of bav ing begun as errand boy and light reading, rubbish of one sort and another, proves an excellent mental digestive all though life:
There are those who make a dis tinction between the gourmand and the gourmet. There are those to whom the drinking of certain wines out of their appropriate places on the menu is much worse than mere flippancy about a very serious sub- ject. I have never yet, however, come upon a man or woman who has seriously studied the question of what books to read at certain times and in certain, places. For most of us seem to assume that with books the time and the place are of little consequence, and that it matters hardly at all whether wo read Lamb after breakfast or Bacon after tea

After breakfast, after a perusal of the morning newspaper is the time for biography, something not too heavy, by which we may re-establish our connection with the rest of the world, after our sojourn in the land of dreams. For most people the dreariest part of the day, I imaginé, is that between lunch and tea-when to go to sleep savours largely of luxuriousness and slightly of im morality.

When covering a boiled pudding with greas d paper, tie n piece of atringing over the top and under the basin crosswise as you do when tying up a parcel. This makes handle to use when taking up the pudding, and will save many scalded fingers.
The most satisfactory pudding cloth is a circular one to fit over.
A less sterotyped grouping of furniture is thus possible, and pre- cious daylight is conserved for the whole of the room.
The charm of the modern cheval gings is intensified in that it may be moved at will. Lighting is not the chief consideration in its ar rangement, its main duty being its owner's complexion, but rather not to reflect the irregularities of her fully-drewed final view.
The tendency to-day is to mix one's perfumes. Nothing is worse than several fragrances clashing 'os the emanate variously from face erent, powder, and bath salts. It may cost a little more to get these luxuries "to match," but it is well worth it.
