1t is not pleasant to meet people
who talk with their noses, not sim

each utterance being accompanied
by Il movement of that member, a

Their Eyes Open These Days.
What entertaining sights one sees
uptown these days. The phenomenal
weather has sent the whole popula-
tion into the streets in its best clothes
The cheerful prosperous looking.
well dressed throng is in itself an in
spring sight. 1t IS too attractive as
whole to bc lost in detail. but oc-
casionally some novelty or piquancy
of costume detaches itself to the eye

and dressmakers call after Vatican
1t was the sort of garment that would
be advised TO meet your husband i'll

the curl paper toilets of wives But
this lady wore it with gayety on the
street, and she added to the entertain
mcnt Of the spectacle.
Another Wore a grass green cos
tune with Louis Quinze coat of the
same material with deep velvet cuffs
and pockets She had flower gar
den hat on her head and carried
stick. There was a knowingness in
her costume and a confidence in her

woman would know only comes from
the sanction of some great dress

out the complexion, particularly of
the warm blonds with bronze colored

But it Is not the women alone who
give color and interest to the street
The windows of the mems furnishing
shops look like aviaries filed with
bright hued birds. The decorative
value of neckties can only be appre-
ciated when seen in their brilliant
reds, blues and violets hung, line re
peating line, like a bevy of birds
poised a moment in flight. There is
nothing i'll woman's gear that pro

And who would forego from the

city life is hard enough on the strong

A Practical Test

Put one quart of lukewarm
water into a bowl, add one tea
spoonful of salt. one of water,
a half cup of yeast or a halt
compressed cake dissolved in
half cup of warm water, and
onequart of LEAFS Flour.
Beat thoroughly, cover and
stand in a warm place over
night. Early in the morning
add gradually another quart
of Lea's Flour, stirring
all the while. When the dough
is sufficiently thick, take ii
out on the board. and knead
thoroughly, ,addingjust enough
flour to prevent sticking
When soft and elastic put il
back in the bowl, cover. and
stand IN a warm place, and,
when double its bulk, turn
out carefully, cut into four
pieces, mould each into a loaf
place in creased pans, cover,
stand in a warm place for
about three quarters of an
hour, or until very light then
bake in a moderately quick
oven for forty-fve minutes.
Apply this to the flour you
are now using, and then to
Lea's Flour, then com

An obi rnient.

The wife of President jackson is
said to have once accounted to the
British minister for bad cold in the
head by telling him that the gineral
had kicked the kivvers Off the night
before. But there seems to he no
longer any excuse for people who
kick the kivvers off, as clamp
and spring are now patented for
attachment To the be,lstead. By this
simple device the covers are fastened
down. The spring gives sufficient
play, SO that there is no danger of
one getting choked in the act of turn
ing over Harpcr's Young People.
