The Art of I Ittrllnr? It On The There Is a noticeable and deplorable decline in hospitality. Of course it is easily enough accounted foi everything in life, you know, has a reason for beinir. It is the rush and hurry of the day that has brought, about the change. In the "good old which some of us remember and others of us only know about as it is all told In stories or recounted tenderly by our elders, a home meant a place into which one's friends might come and be welcome. There were no street cars to hurry away on from place to place, and bo there was no such thing as getting around to pay a dozen calls in one afternoon, unless one was fortunate enough to have a carriage.

In the "good old days" people were asked to etay to tea if they were belated at a friend's house. It wa9 counted a terrible oversight of the kindly ft of hospitality to let one go luiiirv from one's home. It lias gone nut of fashion, though, to ask one' friends to stay to tea. The busy housewife says she is glad it has, that it must have been a dreadful amount of trouble for her mother when there wasalways the chanceof having a yiiest in the house. Hut her mother, now a silvery haired grandmother, shakes lit head and per-biHts still that they were "good old day," and sighs over the lack of hospitality that exists in modern homes.

Don't you remember the "spare bed-room" of your childhood? The bed in that room was always higher and puiHer than any other bed in the house, and its spread and were the best. The green and red carpet was always speckles stiui spoiless. siid the linen kept for that room was the llnest that the household boasted. Ther were cheerful pictures on the walls and mottoes worked in worsted cross-fctitch, it clusters of red berries and bright autumn leaves put about their frames if it was winter and fluwers if it was summer. Nothing was too good for that chamber whre would rest the chance or invited guest.

In your childish way you knew it was something v-ry nice, and there was a feeling of awe that crept over you whenever you were sent to that bright, cheerful room to get any-. thing. I know that in a crowded city every extra loom means so much extra rent. It may not always be possible to have the spare room all ready anil waiting for the coming guest, but when the guest does arrive for a day a week, do make the st'iy as happy and comfortable a one as possible. You may fancy that this is what every housewife will naturally do, but it isn't.

We have got practical that even hospitality is fast being looked upon as a foolish sentiment that is best put anide and done with. One does not need to visit for any great length of time to learn that hospitality is sadly on the decline. There are, to be sure, homes where it holds sway in the good old fashioned way, and these are not all homes where riches abound either. There is one home that I know where the strictest of economy is from necessity practiced, and et one never goes there but one feels that the welcome i so cordial and that the phi in little daihly luncheon is the best that could lie served anywhere. The do-lightful air of hosp'itality that pervades it all makes one forget to notice that the rich old brocade is sadly worn on the chair bottoms and that the draperies in the dining room are much faded.

Tne mother and daughters of that household do not heritate to ak the tno-t fashionable caller if she looks tired, to take off her hat and have a cup of tea. They take it. for granted that if people think enough of them to visit them they xpect to be made cordially v.i Ifomo to the best their home affords. Are tbese old fashioned people popular? Well, ask the folks ho always keep their names at the very tops of their visiting lists. -Margaret Hannis in St.

We have heard so much and have heard it so long about the stout and sensible shoes hat Englishwomen wear, that we have come almost to think that the Englishwoman's rosy cheeks and splendid health are dua alone to the shoes she wears. At any rate, we have been I considering stout shoes for a long time, and last winter many a wo man wore shoes made on the same last as boys' shoes. This call for boys' shoes for women set dealers to thinking and manufacturers to making, and the result is that the shops are showing shoes exactly like those made for men, only in sizes small enough for women. No more wet feet, and no more abominable rubbers, unless it is terribly rainy. The new walking shoes for women come uo no higher than those worn by men about five inches and are made of the same grades of leather.

A man's shoe is made to allow the foot to lie flat and rest as easily as possible. The ordinary woman's shoe permits the upper to stretch over the sole and after a short wearing the shoe is out of shape. According to a reliable dealer, "it is three or four years since our first orders for men's shoes for women, made individually, began to come in. This demand became so common that we determined to order a line. This winter theoil grain different qualities of calf and horsehide shoes of man's make, but in proper sizes, will be as available for our women as our men customers.

The high shoes won't be altered an iota in shape.eitber. They will come up no higher on the ankle than the men's shoes do, being only five inches high, against the seven or seven and a half inches that is the usual height for. a woman's boot. We even have orders from women for men's ai boys evening pumps, patent leathers, because those women who have got accustomed to wearing their day shoes of the man pattern reel cramped and awkward in the normal make of women's evening shoe. Late Fancies in Fashion.

The white cloth gown is attracting much attention, and is very swell for calling and receptions. Black taffeta is very modish either for separate skirts or for whole suits. Neck dressing is very gay this season, and one may indulge her fancy to the utmost and still be within the limits of the prevailing style. Poppy red siifc mines in two tones, made of mousseline de soit, are a most becoming addition to the neck, lied currants match th shade exactly, and appear in toe millinery, which for the mo'iieut is most in demand. The pew capes are admirable fcr mourning, the center part of cashmere or paramatta, with rounded fronts, the shaped frills and collet, or neck arrangement, of Courtland's crape.

Peau de soie, edged with bouillornees of crape, makes a most effective trimming on plain materials required for deep mourning, and may be used for revers, cuffs, collets, tucks and other purposes. Sashes of chiffon, frilled at the ends, and wrapped twice uround the fluure, caught a little to one sde of the front by a bright fancy slide, are all the rage for housewear. One woman of notably good taste has a gray bengaline cut in princess form at the back, with front slightly bloused with a full vet of white lace. To wear with this she has fashioned for herself one white, one blue and one watermelon pink crepon sash. With a bright and dainty touch like this the very plainest and least expensive of cash mere or crepon gowns may be made artistic and fetching.

Coats differing from the skirt are exceedingly fashionable, and it is said to be a fashion likely to take durinirthe winter, which may be probable as regards difference of material, but not as to color. Cloth skirls and velvet coats will, no doubt, be worn, also cloth coats with skirts of fancy woolen, the tone of color beinir, however, similar Hkirts with plain tops and shaped flounces of brocade set on are very handsome. Often there is an entire coat of brocade to match or the bodice is liberally trimmed with brocade. Nothing is so easily spoiled or made shabby as a veil. Instead of tossing it into a crowded drawer, to lie in a tumbled heap until wanted again, stretch it carefully over a bit of cardboard or other stiff material, as is always done in the stores.

I don't think I'll go into town to see tho boys come hack My bein' there would do no good in all that Jam and pack There'll be enough to welcome them to cheer them when they come A-marching bravely to the time that's beat upon the drum; They'll never miss me in the crowd-not one of 'em will care If, when the cheers are ringin' loud, I'm not among them there. I went to see them march away I hollered with the rest, And didn't they look fine that day, a-marchin' four abreast. With my bov James up near the front, as handsome as could he, And waving back a fond farewell to mother and to me! I vow my old knees trimbled so when they had all got by, I had to jist set down "upon the curbstone there and cry. And now they're coming home again! The record that they won Was Bich as shows we still have men when men's woi k's to be done!

I guess that I'll not go to town to see the hoys come in I don't jist feel like inixiu' up in all that crush and din! There'll be enough to welcome them to cheer them when thev come A-marchin bravely to the time that's beat upon the drum And the boys'll never notice not a one or em win care.
