Quaint New Styles to Be Worn With New
Costumes.
In view Of the alarming certainty that our
dresses are becoming shorter and shorter
the dainty woman looks at her footwear with
new attention, for it is not at all beyond
possibility that before spring winds whirl
about our skirts the fashions will have COM
bined with them to give the world a glimpse
of our hosiery.
We may be prepared, however, to withstand
the fires Of criticism long before that day, for
hints found in Paris have already reached our
shores. They are to the effect that stockings
decorated with gilt and silk embroideries in
Russian blue, terra Gotta. red. yellow, purple,
green, are worn by our Partisan sisters They
are done IN geometric patterns, have patterns
and flower designs, and the more striking the
contrast between black borders and gay uppers
the better pleased the ultra-fashionable wearers
will be.
The demurest stockings Of them all are in
the ''ajour" or lace designs. They are embroid-
cred in very finely detailed patterns of colored
SILK, and are quite properly donned with any
costume. Hosiery for indoor wear bears its
decoration massed about the instep and ankle
Right pretty are the sandal patterns in black
and white silk; and that of narrow ribbons of
many tints woven about the foot.
For summer days We will wear with our huge
lowered organdies, our iilac-sprayed muslins
and our old-fashioned prints stockings of
thinnest silk, embroidered with flowers in their
natural coiors.
One pair already shown bears on a black
ground morning glories in pink and lavender;
another, a bouquet of forget-me-nots, and a
third. marguerites, with centers of gilt thread.
The gilt thread is beautifully used in design
OF ln2eniously embroidered dots in brilliant
colors on black silk. Women with dainty ankles
may reflect with satisfaction that their grace is
glinting forth in evidence most fashionable.

The reporter, thinking that the time for the
collection had not yet come and that the coin
was only for luck, put quarter on his palm.
Mrs. Jones said that she Couldn't tell no for
tune for 25 cents" SO she saw the color Of Q
note on the treasury. Following in the foot
steps of Ananias the reporter said that what he
wanted most of all in the world was to have
money enough to marry the ight-complected
girl, for it was only empty pockets that was
keeping them apart. Mrs. Jones pocketed the
bill and said that IL he would only let her fix
up that magic potion within q month he would
be making money easier than he could pick up
dirt, and it would only cost him $40. 1t looked
like a good investment, according to the pros
pecIus, Dut the zeal was not cOnsummateQ,
though Mrs. Jones agreed to trust the reporter
for part of the amount.
"Haveyou ever thoughtabout going away from
Washington! Oh, you have, have you? Well,
can tell you that you will go away from Wash
ington very soon, and that the farther you get
away from this city the better it will be for YOU"
This did not sound very complimentary, but
perhaps it was one Of those things "that one
would rather have expressed differently" She
to whom all secrets of the future were unveiled
talked some more about the advantages Of hav-
ing that love and money luck piece, for she
said that with it the loving couple now kept
apart by poverty might be brought together in
bonds Of holy wedIock within three weeks if SO
desired.
And you will have more money than you
will know what to do with. You can't spare the
$40? OF course not. II you had s10 to spare
you might throw it out in that muddy road
But this is an investment. It's good thing"
But he didn't see it in that light, and they sep
arated with the agreement that if he ever had a
chance to make the investment he would be
back again.

gypsy men had no part TO play, so they left the
scribe and the artist at the Zap door Of the can

An owl which should be protected by law is
the burrowing owl. 1t destroys immense num-
bers of scorpions, centipedes and noxious in
sects, but its virtues have not protected it from
being slaughtered for millinery purposes. 1t
inhabits the. treeless, grassy PLAINS and dwells
in the abandoned burrows Of prairie dogs,
woodchucks. wolves, foxes, badgers. skunks
and armadillos, as well as in those of
land tortoises and large lizards. It
goes abroad by day and is difficult to
approach. Its alarm note is said TO resemble
the rattle of the rattlesnake. Much nonsense
has been written about the relations of the prai-
RE dog. owl and rattlesnake, which are said
to lead a sort Of happy family existence in the
same burrow. In this underground ITO
pia the snakes give their rattles to the
puppies to play with. while the old dogs cuddle
the owlets and farm out their own filters to the
grave and careful birds. However. the fact is
that the owls are simply attracted to the village
OF the prairie dogs as affording convenient
places for shelter and nest building. They I'M
doubtedly live at ease in the settlement and on
familiar terms with their four-footed neighbors,
but they do not inhabit the same holes. Prob
ably the young dogs often furnish meal to the
owls and the latter in return are frequently
robbed of their eggs. As for the rattlesnakes,
they wriggle into the burrows partly because
there are no other holes to crawl into on the
bare, fiat plain. and partly in search Of owls
eggs, ow!ets and puppies to eat.
