TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW

True Picty/ A Scotsman was walking with a very pious man down the streets of Halifax. On passing the Cathedral the man raised his hat, and the Scotsman seeing this did the same. Later a friend said to him, "Sandy, you’re getting very pious, raising your hat as you pass the Cathedral." "Was that the Cathedral?’ he replied. "TI thought it was the Bank of Moritreal {’’

Frem "Where Family Life Fails." _ Children are psychic beings. They are sensitive to unspoken thoughts and unexpressed emotion. If there is discord between their parents, even if it is veiled, they feel it. If there is an ugly mentality pervading the house, they sense it at once, and are probably influenced by it for ugliness. I believe that normal children. are innocent, and I find them the only attractive people, taken en masse, in the world: The tragedy is that as they grow up they grow less and less attractice, until indeed they become people like ourselves, -Mary Borden. Lord Mayor’s Overdraft. _ The Lord Mayor of London, proposing the toast ef "The Drapery Textile and Women’s Wear Dxhibition" at a luncheon in connection with the exhibition, said: "Kor years past I, like a good many other husbands, have been in touch with many of the fascinating things we have seen at the exhibition to-day. Years after, when looking into the cause of my overdraft at the bank, I have seen that it is your trade which has been the cause of it." Peems for Little Ones. The hundreds of adults who are lis- teners in the children’s hour, at 3L0 will be delighted with the series of quaint little "Poems for the Littlest Ones," from the pen of Mrs. Frame, a well-known Melbourne verse writer, who, for some time past, has been concentrating her gifts on rhymes for the wee ones, Under the magic touch of this clever writer, who seems to thoroughly understand what the liftle ones want-everyday objects appear in a new and delightfully novel garband the young folk are taught to appreciate the beauties of nature and to regard them from a keenly interesting viewpoint. For the Male Shopper. In the "first street in Europe" (Regent Street, London) stands a man’s store which completely disproves the theory that man has not the shopping habit. Even the man who has not hitherto embarked on the uncharted seas of shopping need not hesitate to visit it, for everything has been done to simplify his task and to make it a pleasant one. He can choose a complete tropical outfit for an attractive "pullover" in a spacious room decorated in Tudor style, with the walls of Napoleonic oak, Overcoats, sports clothes of every deseription, dressing gowns and bath robes, have their appointed places on other floors. He can also view his reflection in a dress suit under the conditions in which he will eventually wear it. Lounge suits occupy another floor, and since they are available in more than 114 sizes, even the "last-minute" purchaser should have no difficulty in getting a perfect fit. ‘The Man in a Hurry. Shirts in glass cases are displayed on the first floor. There are white ones and innumerable coloured varieties in neat, quiet designs. The dernier cri is a coloured shirt, tie and collar of the same material. The ground floor is devoted to ties, collars, handkerchiefs, gloves, and umbrellas, but it is perhaps in the base ment of this store, where mere man’s triumph over the feminine shopper is complete, It contains a large, hygienic barber’s shop, and opening out of it a bathroom and a series of well-ap-pointed dressing and changing rooms, Here a man may arrive with a haste ily packed bag, en route for a hurriedly arranged holiday. He may deposit hig suit case in a dressing-room, take 4 bath, be shaved, and return to his dressing-room to find his clothes valet» ed for him and ready to be put Ont, His hat can be cleaned and ironéd> and collars, ties, ov shirts that hé has forgotten to bring may be bought on the premises, er ere eae eneeeen a ae ~ ST ET bh som
