A Study In Scarlet,

For long time it has been believed
that bright scarlet could only be com
bined successfully with dark blue or
black, but the artist in colors has
shown this year the possibility of the
combination of bright scarlet and gold
en- brown. A very pretty bonnet show
ing these colors is of bright scarlet felt,
rather oval in shape and fitting the
head almost like toque. Just in front
the brim is split up to the crown. The
edges are all outlined with a narrow
band of mink, and where the brim is
cut and turned up there is placed
mink S head, which looks out with com
posure from under its strange surround
ings. About the crown is twist of
golden brown satin, and just in front
is crescent of gold set with rhine
stones.-Ladies' Home Journal.

The Little Girl With Company Face.

Tho Little Girl With Company Face.
Once on a time in far away place
Lived queer little girl with a company face,
And no one outside of the family knew
OF her everyday face or supposed she had two
The change she could make with wondrous
celeIity,
For practice had lent her surprising dexterity
But at last it chanced on an unlucky day,
Or lucky perhaps would much better say, q
20 her dismal dismay and complete consterna-
tion,
nhe failed to effect the desired transformation
Ari caller, her teacher, Miss Agatha Mason,
Surprised her with half of her company face on,
And half of her everyday face peeping out.
Showing one grimy tear track and half of a
pout,
Contrasting amazingly with the sweet smile
That shone on her company side all the while.
The caller no sooner had hurried away
Than up to her room the child flew in dismay,
And after night spent in solemn reflection
On the folly of features that can't bear inspec-
ton
She came down to breakfast and walked to
her place,
Calm, sweet and serene, with her company
face.
Thenceforward she wore it, day out and day in,
Till you really might think 'twould be worn
very thin;
But, strange to relate. it grew more bright
and gay,
And her relatives think twas red letter day
When the greatly astonished Miss Agatha Ma
son
Surprised her with half of her company face on.
