band of forget-me-nots or yiolcts.
Overlapping this is an irregular arrange
ment of lace straw, deep at the sides, mar
row in front and entirely lacking in the
back. Then comes 4 bunch of lace in
front and pretty little lace rufiiing along
the sides. At top of all is velvet ribbon.
Velvet steamers are fastened at the back
and are left to meander adown the neck
and shoulders at their own curly will.
The Easter girls are wearing the scoop
hat similar to those shown them in felt
last fall. These are large, fat and have an
upward tilt in front quite different from
the poke, yet suggesting it in being be-
coming to round full faces with plenty Of
color.
Many consider it bad form to appear in
new garments on Easter Sunday itself, so
Easter Saturday was selected as the day
when part of the gala attire might be
donned.
For all young ladies, misses under 10 or
20. it is perfectly good form to wear the
hair flowing down the back and confined
at the neck by ribbon. The hair must
not be drawn tightly underneath the rib
bon, but must. rather, be allowed to hang
loosely about the ears aud temples. This
style is particularly becoming to slender
misses, who gain grace by this manner
of hair-dressing which is not otherwise OBJ
tainable.
Easter hose are bizarre to the last inch
of the leg. They come in such a variety of
shades that one can easily select pair to
accord with the color of the gown. The

stockings are in the shop windows with
siivery white feet and silvcry points run

part. Black stockings are found with
green trimmings. Green stockings with
pink trimmings, and pink stocking, with
scarlet ornamentations. In response to
the payment of limited sum, one takes
ones choice of the dazzling variety offered.
Not SO cheap are the bright, silken,
filmy hose which are designed for use
with house slippers. These come in as

slippers are made as low cut as possible 10
allow for displaying the beauty of the
stocking. Many of these slippers are
heelless, the satin toes being fastened TO
the ankle by means of beaded satin straps
which cross at the back. Other slippers
o. this description, designed only for
morning wear, have tiny beaded toes
lined with swansdown. These can be
slipped of aud on the foot at will.
Most beautiful of all the Easter
novelties are the suede shoes made
exactly 70 match the gown in color. A
few expense-disregarding women have
had sasde boots made 10 order, eleven
or twelve buttons high, ana button

unto the end of the shoe chapter. Variety

day.
The backs of all the Easter gloves are
stitched 10 match the trimmings on the
dress. The shops will stitch the gloves
while one waits at a cost of 3 cents. Black
suede gloves. stitched with tan, green, or
gray. are those most frequently seen.

mask which effectually keeps her from
gazing underneath. She is then seated
in the middle of the room, while the
company, joining hands, slowly walk
around her. High above her head
the buffer fiourishes weapon not unlike
the shield which the darkeys down South
use for protection against dies and mos
quitoes.
As the mystic circle silently passes
around the blindfolded enchantress, the
latter brings down her wand lightly upon
the head of anyone whom its aim may
concern. He quickly catches it, kisses the
hand of the queen of the mask, and takes
his place upon the throne, where he in
turn swaps the sceptre. Should young
woman be touched with the wand, she
embraces her ex-queen, and tries her own
hand with the wand.
The game is made interesting by the an
nouncement that should the queen fail in
three strokes to touch one of her subjects,
she is presented, later on, with the court

any subject be so fortunate as to be three

longer sinful, for the time for the mortifi-
cation of the desh is past. Decollete gowns
are demanded of an evening and the young
spring buds are blooming in all the ex-
tremes of present styles.
Yet sad as it may seem to those who re-
side in region of unclouded gaiety, there
is section of our own free land threatened
by cloud which will dim the horizon of
many man and throw more than one
woman out of an occupation.
Has no one noticed that if Senator Hale's
bill passes the legislature all women will
be excluded from the stage in Minnesota?
The theater will have to be conducted on
the Chinese principle of having men play
the female parts, and all the women who
have been earning an independent liveli-
nooO on the stage must take to the type
writer for assistance or get them to another
state.
The law which the proper senator has
introduced reads thus: It shall be mis-
demeaner for 'any female person" ON the
stage to s'expose her neither limb or limbs
in tights, SO called, or in any manner
whatever SO that the shape and form of
her neither limb or limbs are plainly WIS.,
ible"
AT first reading this would seem to ex-
Guide only the wearing of tights from the
stage, but closer attention and prayerful
research into ones moral structures brings
ont the fact which is startling though
plain that the whole world of women must
forsakc the Minnesota stage for the nonce,
or until the present fashion in dress is
changed.
OF course you see why this is so. Any
woman who has had the courage of her
fashionable conviction exalted to such q
