But while this sentimentalist Is struck
with horror at the sight of pigeon on a
lady's hat, he Is not at all affected by the
beaver-trimmed seal coat worn by the same
lady. At first thought IL seems strange that
he should expend all his sympathy on the
fowls of the air and have no tenderness FOR
the beasts of the field; but when we re-
member that beaver coats and seal caps are
/ as much worn by our lords and masters rs
by our weak selves, we no longer wonder.

and 10 edge decolleie vests with bands of
robins or humming birds, and we shall see

Combined with plain material some sort
of striped stuff forms part of the fashion

It's real easy, and they are perfectly lovely.

Oh, YES. the eggs! Well, l made one of
pale blue plush. You remember that blue

1t was trimmed with pink plumes. and the
most becoming thing l ever had on my
head. The plush was of lovely quality,
the pile was so long and thick. Ii was a

why are they called Easter eggs? Why.
they are for gloves. or cabinet photographs,
or handkcrchiefs, and they are called Easter
eggs because they are presented at Eas-

dear. l know you would enjoy making
those eggs for they are just perfectly lovely!

We girls have never deigned to reply to
the repeated questioningS of the over curl
Gus who have been dying TO know what we
were going to do with our blanket tObOggan
suits. That we should keep them over for
another season was of course too prepOster-
Gus suggestion To be for a moment enter
tanned, for what would winter carnival be
without new clothes? But don't think from
our reticence upon the subject that the gar
mentS have been wasted. No, indeed! for
il didn't take us long to discover that those
ulsters made the most comfortable of wrap
peTs. and there we were, don't you know!

st. Paul audiences have been severely
criticized for their habit of so persstently
encoring their favorite airs, it being claimed
that they not only heartleSsly weary the
singers but that they often compel an opera
to be badly cut. When members of an
opera company. however, form a con-
spicuOus portion of the audience and lead
off in all the applause what, pray, can be
expected of the ordinary theater-goer.

George Augustus shudders fearfully as
he hears that the Easter gift. like the Christ
mas present, is likely to become part of the
established order of things. 1t is useless to
say that ESmeralda doesn't share bis feel
ing upon the subject.
So
There is nothing particularly new in
Easter cards, the numberless floral designs
being about the same as usual and quite
pretty. You can get deal of ugliness for
your money il you like, however, by in
vesting in huge crosses or leaves of plush
adorned with pictures; atrocious things
they are! Instead of cards are shown books
Of heavy tinted paper, whose separate
leaves, on each of which is printed
some Easter sentiment in prose or
rhyme, are held together by ribbons or
silken cords. Gotten up in the same style
are collections of pressed flowers retain
their natural forms and colors. While these
dainty little books cannot be called novelties
as they have already been sent out as
Christmas and Valentine gifts. they are
new and more acceptable than the ordinary
card.
