cane. which is long and like unto an alpen-
stock. Around the top Is tied a ribbon
with the name Of the cane donor thereon
and the date of the first trip upon which
the cane did duty. Each successive walk is
marked by another ribbon, which, in turn,
bears the date of the trip and the
name OF the one who pleasantly
beguiled the journey. In time Little Bo

Nothing for show. Nothing too good to

Bohemia and the 400 are, now and then,

the former of DAILY fame, have taken an
apartment on Madison avenue, opposite the
Athletic club. Here they are informally

circle whom they know both in and out of

Mrs. Madge Kendall has not escaped tho
kindergarten fad which Is entangling all
society and professional women. At her last
visit nere Mrs. Kendall paid her little 800
and became a life member Of Mrs. Cleve

Little Miss Young, who is the teacher of
the first mission kindergarten, and Mrs.
Cieyeland's special prosege, is a vivacious
girl with ready wit, pretty manner and q
sweet voice. She is independent of her
scholastic labors and 30 is enabled to put

teaching them how to speak and live and
even TO practice q limited degree Of draw

The McFlimsys are going to carry unffs
all summer and. may hap, some of those on
a higher social plane may join them in this
fad. On the hottest days of July and Au-

planning to carry flower mufs with white
net foundations gathered upon n frame
work of silver wire. Well! few years ago,
boas in summertime were impossible and
fur capes insane. Now boas are the rule for
piazza and ball room promenade, while fur
capes are on the laps and shoulders Of all
who travel at seashore and mountain. Let
us not say that muffs shall not have their
day. .
The Easter coats for men have a small
provision for boutonnieres. Underneath the
lapel, half an inch below that ornamental
button hole into which flowers ordinarily

room underneath for the stem of rose or
a few violets. This does away with the
necessity of hunting for pin, and a young
woman's toilet may rest undisturbed, though
she pin dozen bouquets upon a dozen men
in dozen minutes.
