The winter girl.
She Is Just peeping around the corner,
and as soon as Jack Frost says the word,
she will appear In all her wondrous
beauty to vie with her great rival, "the
summer girl" to take the lead In all in
door entertainments, and be the observed
OF all observers.
You have seen the winter girl on icef
She is well preserved and ice Is not at all
necessary, but when she gets skate on,
two skates on, and leads the way for q
merry registering crowd TO follow she -
picture. That iG, she is picture II
she is not too short, too tall, too fat or
too lean. She must be just right and she
must have large, soulful eyes, and her
cheeks must be red like the rose, the
beautiful glow on satin transparent skin,
and her teeth must be white and even
and glisten like pearls. About her neck
must be a turned-up fur or sealskin col
lar, and she must vow that she reveis in
an atmosphere very near the zero point.
The Crystal Maze, one OF many control
lea by Mr.. Palm, opened today at 1l2
Westminster street. II Is maze indeed
Every step you seem to step the wrong
way, and you laugh as yon think how
very awkward you are not to go the other
way, and when you do, you find that
your way Is blocked, that you are lost
and confouDded until at last In sheer dis
tress you call for the guide to eXtricate
you from the inner recesses OF the mys-
tifying maze 1t is jolly amusement for
every one.
The winter girl is at her best when out OF
doors. indulging her fancy for riding or
taking long walks. In fact, as you con-
template her In seasonable govns and
or Narragansett Pier you muImur to
yourself:
The summer girl has passed away,
The winter girl 10 nere
And though she wears less finery
We hold her just as dear.
What IL she doffs her summer dress
A heavier one 20 wearf
Does that impair her lovelipess?
Does she become less fair?
1t matters not what garb she wears
Or how the seasons fly;
She in December hearts ensnares
The same as in July.
The winter boy or the winter man can
be fitted out with a winter suit or a fall
and winter suit at the Misft Clothing
Parlors, 1919 Westminster street. In the
children's department upstairs mothers
will find just what is neeoed for the Hit
tie ones al about one-third the price other
clothiers ask. Fact!
The winner girl will take the arm OF her
escort to and from places of musement:in
a manner 10 convince said escort that she
appreciates the favor, and yet on the least
presumption for the tiny squeeze she has
seemingly by accident given, will grow
as distant as Pearys Arctic ship and almost
as chilly. There is no nonsense about
the winter girl, She may nave sighed in
sympathy with the waves all summer,
and gazed at the moon until she was al
most afflicted with the lunar stare of
those who have lost their senses, but
when the chill OF autumn gives warning
of the winters frost she is as brilliant as
an icicle In the sunlight.
Do you use sewing machine? IL you
have none or wish TO exchange the old
squeaking, rickety one you have been
using, communicate at once with Mana
ger Mink of the famous Wheeler & Wilson
sewing machine, whose office is at the
corner OF Snow and Westminster.
The winter girl is not always given up
to the selfshness of her own pleasure.
She loves to visit the sick chamber OF
some OF those OF her acquaintances who
may not be so fortunate, to read and con-
verse with them, to fix the pillow, to
smooth the aching brow, and mayhap
breathe prayer TO heaven that IL be the
will of Him who rules, to restore them
once again TO health. Like a ministering
angel she has been known TO carry food
TO those in need and never lisp word
in mortal ear OF duty nobly done.
This winter and all the fall, for that
matter, you will find the bowling alleys
presided over by Mr.. Frank Arnold, on

ronized by people who appreciate the
finest alleys in New England.

After all the winter girl, is indispensi-
BILE. You couldn't very well get along
without her. Wherever you go when IL is
cold enough for her to come forth from her
abiding place. you will see her.
She will be at church and the theater, on
the promenade. and at the park when skat-
