After the usual business conducted by the. president, Mrs. W. J. Paul, the speaker of the day was introduced in the n of Mrs. 8. BE. Revelle, who portrayed in a very instructive and interesting manner the story of the Korean 'people, showing that long before we were a people the Koreans had a language and literature of their own, that they were really a gifted people, skillful in all limes of art, that the famous Satsuma ware now |! £0 popular, as a Japanese product, 1 he Editor Hears That In response to her appeal for one nandred pair of mitts to help the Victorian Order nurses co- ver the cold fingers of the Kingston children whose fathers are out of work, the nurses have already re- ceived thirty-five pair. Don't stop knitting. If you did it for the sol- diers, you can do it for the child- ren, That the president of the King- ston Humane Soclety says many calls for the inspector come from the country. Recently the veterin- ary inspector had to make a trip to Wolfe Island in bitter wehther and found the stock of ome farmer in a shocking condition. Thé poor animals were out in the smow with- out shelter and: the man's neigh- bors, who were humane people, had sent in a call to the society which j- exercises authority in the county as well as the city Another case was that of an old horse, turned out to die in the snow after serving his master faithfully. Such cases would be dealt with severely England where the offenders would be sent to jail without the option of a fine. That the suggestion made at the annual meeting of the Kingston His- torical Society to have meetihgs once a month, at which papers writ. ten by members of that society or others interested in Canadian his- tory, local or otherwise, on which there would be discussion, would be read, seems an excellent one. Every member of the society would then be keyed up to bring an item of news which would add to the re- cords. which will be of inestimiiible value to the generations to come, That the members of the V.O.N. cofamittee were interested in the telegram received by the central of- fice of the V.ON. in Canada from Queen Alexandra thanking them for their good wishes sent to her on her birthday in December, The readers of the Whig will remember seelug the message-to the Queen Dowager and her answer on the Woman's page a month ago.

TOMORROW'S MENU Breakfast Bananas Scrambled Eggs Coffee Cereal Toast \ Luncheon Baked Grapenuts Dish Wholewheat Bread Preserves Cookies Cocoa Pinner Vegetable Soup Fried Pan Fish Potatoes Peas Orange Salad Coffee Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding As usual after the Christmas holi- days; I have made the rounds of my friends' houses to see the new fancy- work articles which were received as Christmas gifts. Here are a few of the most original. Glass Candlesticks with a French Touch: Ordinary glass candlesticks were used for this gift, with square column and square base. Gold net had been sewed around the column to the top, and also over the flat base, decorated here and there with small silk-ribbon flowers in many colors. On the very bottom of the candlestick (underneath) a piece of blue ribbon had heen pasted (this ribbon was cut the exact size of the flat, square base) and its blue show- ed through the glass and also through the gold net when the candlestick stood in its right posi- tion. In this way, the entire candle- stick was given a dainty blue tint. To complete the gift, a blue 'wax candle was stuck in the top. The New Handkerchief Cases: These were circular in shape, meas- uring five inches in diameter, so that they would amply hold a handker- chief or two, which were folded into a gmall square in the ordinary way. The case was made of two parts of equal size--an upper circle and a lower one, each padded: with flannel, scented, covered with pale pink silk and finished around the edge with a narrow border of "Val" lace, The top pink circle wag decorated with a wider frill of lace sewed on in a circle at its centre, and in the very middle was a flat bunch of tiny, sil-vibbon roses. The two halves of the case were caught together at the edge, in only ome place--thus making it easy for one to .open it in a hurry and take chief. The trouble with the old- fashioned handkerchief cases was 'Ithat one had to fuss untying ribbons or unfolding ends to get at their contents! Thi® one resémbles two pancakes which open like an oyster. Dress Hangers with Crocheted Covers: We have all painted the wooden dress hangers, or covered them with padding and silk ribbon. But these new and original ones, were covered with Germantown worsted crocheted (with the simple double crochet stitch) into a strip which just covered both sides of the wood apd was sewed into place with a worsted thread. The hook part was covered by a worsted doll's head made from a small ball of the yarn with eyes, mose and mouth sewed upon it. A pretty bow covered the spot where this doll's head joined the wood part of the hanger.

The most popular fabric of the season is velvet at prices to suit all purses from A cotton velvet at abput two dol & yard to an all-silk fabric at several dollars, The artificial silk velvets display perfection in manufacture, and have a beautiful lustre, which is very effective in artificial light. Another novelty is a velvet with an alterna- tive stripe of artificial silk velvet and cotton velvet in two shades of old red, copper, cinnamon, blue, and other colors. A similar mixture in a jasper stripe has just been put on the market, and this is made In about twenty colors. Two of the newest shades in fine mercerised cotton velour are in rust color gnd a very lovely softened malachite green, both perfect for curtains, © One well-known furnish- jong firm reports a big demand for velvet to be used in making evening cloaks, For chair-covers there are tapestries in artificial silk which do not hold the dirt like the old wool variety, and brocades in mercerised cotton with a seventeenth century Italian design in artificial silk.
