WHO ABK THESB IK BIAUKET SUITS It is pleasant to tarry among people whose gbls wear satin alippers when they d .noe and arctics when they wade through the snow. Oar fair Canadian cousins have no dread of comfort. The snow has no terrors for them h y Jreis for the storm as sendily as for the reception. They drens prettily. And if there is a prettier figure on the North American Continent than a daughter of Can- ada, apparelled for the ioe or the toboggan Slide, herself a part of the snow drifted landscape, a picture of health and comfort that fairly softens the piercing winds into a sense of warmtj, I have not setn it.

FAOILIS DEacxKsxrs. The toboggan is a sled with a single run- ner, which spreada dear across the bottom of the ded. The top of the toboggan is just like the bottom. It is somewhat thick- er than a sheet of writing paper amd about as long as an^ ahtter-dinner speech. Its seat- ing capadty ia limited only by the number of people who cam get on it. The nrbane and gentlemaanly conductor sits akft amd uses one of his lithe and willowy legs for a steer- ing apparatus by which he guides the tobog- gan some way or other. It is easy ti slide dawn hill on a toboggan. In fsMt, after yon start down yon oa?t do anything else. Tf ue, you could fall off. That is easily done. The flying machine is not high, so yon havn't evry far to fall. Still, if you have to fall from a toboggan half way down the slide, or else fall down stairs with a kitchen stove, yon take the stove and the stairs everytlme. It isn't so exdting and its so soon. The prince and I walked up the stairway for the purpose of sliding down the banister on a toboggan. The president of the club took his place aft somebody sdd • 'let her go. " Then we stopped, iland the pros ident said " How did we Uke it " I left my breath at the top of the slide and we had to go up and get it. There it was, a great gasp 3^ inches long, sticking in the air like an icicle, just where I had gasped it when we started. I took it down, stuck it into my left lung and begam to breathe sgain wltb great freedom. The toboggan is to uy other way of getting down hill what fifing is to going to sleep. If I was ua hurry and it was down hill aU the way I would rather have a toboggan than a pair of wings any day.

Immediately following the death of Wm. fi. VanderbUt alleged portraits of his sons appeared in scores of dally newspapers. Some persons seem to take a fiendish de- light in multiplying grief. A San Francisco family recently engaged a young girl from the Etft who advertised that sh«) had been " four yoara in her laut place " The family subsequently learned that she would have remained longer tham four years in her last place if the Oovernor had net pardoned her when he did.

To put things away, aa the art is practised by women, is equlvdent to conceding them more or less ccmpletely. The dedre to put thfaigs away amounta In most women to a paasion. C arioudy enough h Is dways the tniogs of other people â€" ^her husbmd or her childrenâ€" that ahe pnta away. Her own she wisely keeps where they are handy; and she rsaenta the suggestim, no matter where tiiey may be, they cam ever be regarded aa 6b- jeota out of place. All other things, on the other himd, are, in her opidon, always ont of place provided they are visible. Her chief object in life is to put them away where no one can see them, and her great- est happiness is attained when she has put tnem away so securely that she herself can- not rememlier where they are. Books and papers of a kind which a man is apt to need at any moment are dways put away by women of eager enthusiasm. Winter cloth- ing is put away in spring with such success that the owner Is convinced that it haa been stolen. In short there Is nothing that woman will not gUdly and effectually put away If it belongs excludvely to a mam.
