SATURDAY SALAD,
ruH COMING EASTER TIDE.

bf' '1"i4Nb IhSi In llbf.s
NhGt are you going to wear Easter
morning? That is most momentous
question and deserving of ready answer.
From the beginning Of Lent, and while
thclr thoughts were seemingly intent
upon religious duties, the dear girls have
never forgotten that Easter morning was
approaching For weeks past the fair
members OF the weaker sex have paid
many and long visits to the various shops
where the ''too sweet" gowns and hats
are sold, and have returned to their homes
riC her in ths worlds goods. Now, if old
Sol will but brush from his face the dark
clouds that have covered it of late, Easter
morning will be thing of beauty and a
Joy. Perhaps, should tell you what
some of the dear girls will wear upon this
day. A tall blonde of my acquaintance
will wear, while she responds to the
glorious service of the resurrection, d
gown of pale heiotrope. 1t is made,
need | say? with bell skirt and small
lTdll lbO bbtlpul II tllC 5hlib 10 III
ished with band of silver trimming, in
odd pattern. A Russian blouse that
reaches almost to her knees boasts of a
yoke OF the silver, and is fastened at her
slender waist by girdle of the same
bright metal But her hat All, listen
while | describe it, and then rise up and
call the woman, who invented sncl q
work of art, blessed. It is frai thing
why, mere breath of wind could blow
it away, and is composed of striped
helOtrope and silver straw. The silver
edge is finished with roll of heliotrope
velvet. A fnlness of silver lace almost
conceals the crown and from the midst of
this delicate trimming starts spray OF
silken heliotropes. She is daring but
wise girl to avoid streamers. A brown
eyed girl, whose head is crowned with a
glory of hair that makes me turn to see il
there is white horse in sight, will wear
gown of her own manufacture. Being
such marvel of feminine beauty she did
not choose coat as her pattern but,
rather gathered the dull blue goods into
a most bewitching basque that is fastened
| by velvet corselet. This corselet is oil
the same color as the dress material
reaching high under the arms, and laced
with silver cord The sleeves are finished
with dainty cuffs of velvet and cord; this
trimming Is also placed about the bottom
of the skirt. Now, when the dress was
completed this brown.eyed girl bethought
herself of hat. At large milliner shop
she purchased some blue lace straw which
was put over small toque frame, anC
about the edge went very fine lace
braid. When this was on to the entire
satisfaction of the little milliner, roll o.
velvet was called into use to encircle the
toque. The velvet also formed high
stiff bow directly in front. When this
was done the little milliner gave sigh
and peering into the mirrow, declared
that it did not look bit "home madey.'
Another fair GIRL who is nothing If no
original-her originality producing a
times the most wonderful results-wil
wear large hat OF pale yellow straw. Al
the back is fastened long streamer o
yellow chiffon, and the edges are finished
with deep frll of the same. darinf
girl, indeed, to wear this head gear.
w
One has but to gaze into shop windows
to be informed of the fact that Easter il
approaching. In their decorations they
partake of the Easter.tide. One has bu
to look and know that another season O
gift-giving is here The windows are
crowded with Easter cards that are brigh
with golden crosses and waxen lilies, Will
pure.faced children and tiny golden sug
gestions for better life. Near the card
are booklets illustrating sacred songs
These, with their soft grey coverings
delicate, sober sketches that brighter
when the glory of the day is proclaimed
are things of beauty. Another thin
that makes these booklets so popular i
the small prices set upon they. How 81
much beauty of song and picture can b
sold at such low sum is an unansweret
question Then, the egg gifts! Easte
would not be receiving the proper amour
Of attention if an egg or two we're no
displayed. There are frail China ones
with delicate violets painted upon thei
surface and with silver tops, to hold tn
salt of the earth and sometimes the pep
per, too. An egg of unusual size, Blu
being OF silver and not freak of nature
was lined with pale pink satin and forme'
a charming casket for jewels. This had
rival in beauty by delicate china on
cnt in half and resting upon tiny silve
feet, thus forming a bon-bon basket
You are thinking, my dear, OF giving you
male acquaintance memento OF tn
season, be sure that it is something tina
will add to the beauty of bachelor
sanctum. Young men of to-day do no
possess themselves of rooms that rival
prison cell in beauty, but rather they re
ince in bright rooms made charming b.
gifts from their fair friends. And, a
Easter time, you may give with prophet
almost any kind If gilt; so, now is You
opportunity to add to the CHEEKY appear
ance OF numerous 'dens." But, let m
beg Won not to fall in line with maidens G
a past decade, and send TIDES to man
You knoa, anyway you should know tina
men hate tides. 1t brings tears to tn
ewes OF the beholders to see man wrestl
with tidy, and, out of consideration 70
the people present, rema n speechless. /
man looks upon these bits of undecorat
ing decoration as his foes, who are eve
waiting and anxious to pounce upon hi
back and declare themselves eager 70
, the fray. Therefore avoid tides, be
of you.
