There is little doubt but that the wife was infected asa result of caring for her husband, and now she'is in the Muskoka Hospital. Heer little girl, about five years of age, and a boy of ten are with her, both being aiflicted with this dread disease. 'The words ot the mothér are Bere: ; She writes: "l went to a doctor and him to examine my lungs to see wheth sg there was anything wrong with them, and he said that the right lung was affected, A little rest, he hoped, would build me up. Thave a little girl, about five years old, and the doctor says that it 1 could tuke her up with ine it woul ao her ver so much good, as she is not very strong. f have three more children, and one of these, a boy of ten, seems also to be affiicted, and . it is advisable that he should enter the hos- pital." "These three are of the 104 patients who are residents in this deserving institution and being cared for without money and without price. The sorry part of it is that the trustees are carrying a debt of some- thing like $40,000, incurred largely through the additions that have been made within the past year, and that have more than doubled the accommodation of the institu- tion, together with the heavy cost of main- taining so large a number of free patients. ' Readers who desire to help this great charity may send their contributions to Mr. Ww. J. Gage, Chairman Executive Com- mittee, 84 Spadina avenue, or to the Sec- retary-Treasurer, 347 King street west, The Muskoka Free Hospital has ever liv- ed up to its claims of never having refused a single patient because of his or her poverty. WAS NOT WOUNDED. Madero Said to Be Well and Collect- ing More Rebels. San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 29.--That 'Francisco 1. Madero, leader of the Mexican revolution, is safe and un- injured, is the news' brought direct from Madero to San Antonio. The , courier said that Madero is now igathering his forces in the Laguna istrict, near Lerdo and Parral. Made- \rO was not wounded at any time, said the messenger. He is constantly gath- ering allies to his standard. ' As far as the confiscation of the 'Madero estates was concerned, the \eourier said that Madero was not much concerned, since the bulk of his imterests were in the hands of friend- {ly Americans. Insurrectionists Fortified. ; Chihuahua, Nov. 29.--Government jtroops have returned to Chihuahua from their fight with the revolution- lists, four miles west at Fresno on Sunday. Two thousand reinforcements lare expectitd before the Government Iresumes its attempt to reopen the |\Mexican and Northwestern Railroad, j which is tied up as a result of the \fight. ' The imsurrectionists are said to 'have been reinforced by a band from Parral. They now number 1,000, and jthey have fortified positions at var- jious points. } Sunday's fight was the first real (fight of the insurrection in this part jof Mexico. Three hundred insurgents jattacked the Government's rear guard }of 400 troops, who were marching jalong the Mexican and Northwestern }(Chihuahua and Pacific) Railroad. Seven dead insurrectors were brought in Sunday night. The Government lost one killed and seven wounded. The fight lasted three hours, both sides taking shelter behind boulders and in ditches. } R. G.

When is a polo coat net a polo coat? | That is the question which may be an- swered in the same _ breath--when you see it worn by smart girls and women as an outing wrap, for motor- ing, on the for the feminine champion as she stands to receive the congratulations of her friends after the game these cold autumn days, on the field of con- quest or at football games. The coat will be worn on cold and stormy days by swagger girls during the winter, and, in short, it's mighty useful all round wrap, but where it gets its name nobody knows. The material of the polo coat is not unlike a heavy eiderdown fabric, and |a snuffy brown shade is the approved color of Dame Fashion. The coat is long, loose and double breasted and fastened with a double row of large buttons. There are a wide belt of the material drawn through |straps and a collar that buttons up tightly about the throat, or it may be turned down at will. These coats range in price from $40 to $20, accord- ing to finish and material. Where "Cranford" Was Written.

The creams should be very cold before the work begins. Women who are polite in practically all other places sometimes are posi- tively rude at card tables. It would perhaps help them to be self controlled and civil against them to remember that, after all, it is only a game and, though they lose, their defeat is only temporary. However different one may be in fact when one is losing, and few per- sons are as interested when the cards are against them, it is a matter of good breeding te pretend as much en- joyment as when success is on her side. It is not politic to be snappy and dull just because one is losing.

To comment unfavorably upon the playing of a hand is the height of ill manners and need not be excused on the ground of instructing the ig- norant.

Invitations to Children's Parties. Good form requires that all invita- tions of both girls and boys shall be | issued in the names of their parents | or of one of the guardians with whom they live. The very obvious reason for this is that did one of the minors give invitations it might be done with- out the knowledge of elders. Rarely do birthday parties need in- vitations other than formal notes to be written by the mother. It is not to parents of the others that the com- munications are addressed, but to the young people themselves, in notes something after this fashion: My Dear Mary--Will you not give Anna and me the pleasure of your presence at a birthday party we are giving for her on Thursday, the 25th?
