regssded res bGhuy.
The south has always been known Tor
its hospitality. and nowhere has this
quality besn more religiously main.
tained than In Virginia. unfortunately
the war made sad havoc with the Viz
ginian's resources. but his old time open
hearteines. has never altered.
Some years ago friend Of mine trav-
cling In the lower portion OF that stats
stopped for q few hours with old &C.
quaintances and remained for tea An
occasion of this kind In Virginia calls
invariably for the favorits dish Of the
south--fried chicken.
Alasl there was but one young chicken
on the place. and that one pet IL had
been left an orphan by u. mother at .
very early age. and. like Pip In Charles
Dickens "Great Expectations, had besn
brought up by hand. The children
called II Tommy. and were very fond OF
u. while Tommy In turn was Aitaob~d
20 the children.
The matter was q very serious ons'
and q family consultation Wa held.
Virginia hospitality could not b- lightly
disregaried. and Il was decided that
poor Tommy must become the saerhoe.
Ny friend % course knew nothing ~
the tragedy that Wa bring enacted Tor
his comfort. and when tea Wa served
regarded the plate of nicely brown"d
chicken with contsmplativs JOY.
soon. however. he became aware thai
something was Amiss. An air of silent
sorrow perysied the little family group
usually - gay. and the childrrn took
nothing on their plates. The chicken
wS passed, but with the exception of
my friend no one par'ook. Selecting
Juicy looking drumstiek. he hHed u
with his fork. and cutting OF . choice
Lit conveyed II 10 his mouth.
AT this there was q sudden and heart
breaking howl from one OF the httis
boys. "0h. mamma, mamma. he's eating
up our Tommy
Thereupon the other children mingled
their voices In wild wailing. and the
older members burst into unoontrollAbls
laughter In which. a. the truth dawned
upon him. my friend joined.
Then there came explanations. morc
laughter and tsArs. and adjustments al
around.

and feathers of the same color were
bnnched at the back.
The gown that went with this. hat
was of green Bedford cord, made in the
long coat fashion.
The skirt was perfectly plain and
demi-trained and around the bottom of
il, as well as around the toque. there
was thick band Of green feather trim
ming. Pink gloves stitched with green
and large feather fan with still
larger green bow tied in the ring, were
among the finishing touches suggested
by the tasteful little French dress
maker.
Rumor has it that it is coming in
style to part the hair again, and to
band it upon the forehead in waves.
The fashion is such q trying one that it
surely will not be generally followed.
A bang is too becoming to be brushed
aside in the form OF part.
One afternoon last week. a certain
beautiful girl who lives up in this quiet.
secluded part of Madison avenue took
walk down that thoroughfare, with
her hair parted and drawn down over
her ears, with scarcely ripple to show
where the hair had once been curled.
The girls cheeks were SO red, her
complexion was SO fair, her eyes were
SO bright, and her countenance SO sweet
that all who saw her looked and mar
veled to see such simplicity upon so
pretty girl. :.
But, mark you! And listen to the
moral of this tale! The next day. there
appeared at the same hour, upon the
same avenue, score of girls, particular
friends of the sweet-faced one, who had
brushed aside their bangs, and come
cut to walk with parted tresses over
their foreheads, feeling sure that they
were as beautiful as she whom they
were initiating.
But alas! The first girl was prettyi
The score that followed her example
were homely! And to see them making
guys of themselves in this fashion was
a warning to others not to go and do
likewise.
The sweet-faced girl is still wearing
her hair parted But her Grerian-faced
sister has discovered that when she
parts her hair she makes her face look
like Ratchet, and so she has given up
the idea of discarding bangs. The other
girls who looked respectively like wal
nut dolls, old maids and dowdies. have
gone back to their crimps and curls, and
Madison avenue blooms again along the
squares that were laid waste of beauty
by the sudder change of hair dressing.

unique cloak there goes ii aat qailp ar
odd. 1t is of let, fastened upon wire
framework, and it has very broad
suuna-sp7oir.74ag urlm The Drim is
faced with shirring of black lace, and
directly in front there are two large
blush roses. The cloak is of gray and
the strings of the hat are of gray to cor
respond. There are also gray plumes
on the back of the hat.
For those who have not yet guessed
the name of the city in which the wom-
an lives who is to wear this unique
cloak, the information may be given
that it is in Philadelphia, the city of
pearl gray and Quaker drab. The
cloak is to be worn by certain sweet
and pretty matron, who is fair and fully
forty, and who goes over to the other
side every year to order her wardrobe.
She visits frequently at the Philadel-
phia home of the acknowledgement
and her ways are as demure and her
smile as sweet as one would fancy
ought to accompany the gray tones and
the blush roses of the costume de-
scribed.
l1dVC YOU CFCI AOplSSQ INV OliQ III Is
that women who affect the demure and
the staid in dress are nevertheless
guilty of putting little finishing touches
to their toilet that you would hardly ex-
pect or look for? For example, one
sees the woman who is wearing long
gray gown or wrap of subdued make,
and hat far removed from giddiness,
carrying, nevertheless, in her hand.
lorgnette with very costly and beau
tiful handle. One also notices that she
wears musquetairs gloves with wrinl-
led tops and that, though her bonnet
strings are tied in the primmest posi-
BILE way, her hat is fastened on with
terribly fashionable dagger.
Perhaps her gloves have fancy stitch
ing upon the back of them, and she
may even be guilty of pinning back the
ribbon bows Of her bonnet strings
with heart-shaped stick pins. They
are really hard to Observation-Disclosures
women!
With approaching spring the hat be-
comes larger. The winds of February
and early March carry with them
roughness to fair complexic1ns, and
many people freckle at the first thought
or glimpse of spring sunshine. Hats,
therefore, increase in size, and they go
on increasing until summer comes and
declares that it is time to wear little
toques.
A very pretty large hat may be made
by covering one of the fat-brimmed
circular-crowned hats, which are now
the latest style in Paris, with Irish lace.
If the lace is floral design, it is
daintily pretty if wrought out in gold
or pale gray silk, so that the flowers
set out upon the black background Of
the hat. If the hat is merely frame
work, it should be covered first with
block net, and then the lace should be
put on over it.
A very lovely gown, that was recent
~ shown me as a sample of what
French dressmaker can do in achieving
a beautiful calling costume, had hat
of this sort. Around the low, full
crown there was twisted band of vel
vet of greenish yellow hue.
There was a putting .of the velvet
around the edge of the hat brim,

AS it nears the time for the SHOWS
and winds of winter to give place to the
balmincss Of spring, the thought of
womanllind turneth toward the costume
which she will wear when she leaves
Off her fur ulster and puts on something
lighter.
It isn't time to change yet But it is
time to begin to think Of changing and
to decide upon that most trying of all
styles, the one that is to be worn be-
tween seasons.
The transition from winter to spring
is such an uncertain thing. One day
the air is keen and the winds SO sharp
that all thoughts of spring seem far re-
moved from the mind of mother nature.
The next day the sun, shines .balmily,
and it seems as if spring might be close
at hand.
1t is never safe to change as long as
the vicissitudes and uncertainties con-
tinue. 1t is far more the part of pru-
dence to wait until the weather has be-
