Here 1. the Rub.

"Erato" has this to say of mans per-
fidy. and she will doubtless have many
who agree with her in the main points:
"What is the one thing, if there be one,
that woman will not forgive in man, and
whyP
Admiration, and complete subsection to
the will of another fair creature-who is
altogether inferior to herself in nine cases
out of TENS perhaps the most difficult to
forgive; because, although the blow to her
affections might be borne If pride could be
called to her aid, the knowledge that the
most complete devotion failed to win love
which is lavished upon a rival robs of this,
her strongest support. The consequence
is, she must quarrel with her own heart
because il demands love. while compelled
to dash from its pedestal the idol she once
elected TO worship.
at is n question, however, whether she
is not equally unforgiving toward the man
who loves her too well; who becomes a
slavish subject instead of the king she had
dreamed OF, because, knowing her own
shortcomings better than any one else
can. she must pcrforce despise, instead o.

lection depriyes him Of what she calls

It's odd that Worth, of all persons,
should lead the new anti-corset crusade.
There's not so much difference between a
corset and bodice boned all around such
as he advocates. and yet there is dis
tinction. Worth can do what the reform
ers couldn't, but if corsets 60 out it will
take science and art both to make dress
look right without stays. There's no
grace in the average corseted figure, but
there's a certain neatness. There's no
grace in the average uncorseted figure
and no neatness. To get grace and neat
ness both without stays is n puzzling
problem.

The new wash goods are prettier than
those of last year. Grass linens cover the
counters and range from cream and ecru
through soft pale pinks and browns and
greens. They are delicately embroidered
in flower patterns and made up with a
bewilderment of ribbon trimmings. The
batistes are the prettiest goods shown. The
model dresses imported are made up in
two colors-a pale green batiste robe with
deep hem embroidered in white draped
over an underskirt of red batiste or per-
haps brown.

The woman who is clever adapts her
colors to her days. The vast majority of
brown-haired, gray-eyed Americans do
not rank, properly speaking, as blonde or
brunette, and should throw all color ira
ditions behind them and dress according
TO their health or feeling. 1 know a
woman who invariably puts on red and
green when she is not well. 1t gives her
life and color. When she has a good day
she wears blue, cold color that won't

suddenly. ELLEN OSBORN.

consequence, so long as they are fashion,
able. High collars are becoming to very
few women, but that counts nothing.
They are worn, that settles il, and taking
facts as they stand n rather ingenious
way to get something of high collar ef-
feet, while leaving the neck entirely free,
is to have the folds of silk which form the
yoke or bodice vest caught down just I'M
der the chin with a buckle or brooch and
then gathered loosely and gracefully
about the throat on either side, meeting
In a sort of a rosette or bow arrangement
behind. There is no collar at all and yet
the big bow at the back and the folds give
much the same impression.
It's really allowable to be comfortable
II the fact isn't obtrusive.
If one is going to wear q throatlet, those
of soft, light ruchings are prettiest. Pink
or green chiffon above theater waist is a
dainty nest for the face, or if one can
wear it, black chiffon. Throatlets of fine
flowers are the evening novelty, tied in
front or at the back with long, dropping
ribbons. Young girls wear white chiffon
ruches with black velvet bows peeping
out from among the folds.
There is spring millinery. but so far it's
too look at, not to buy. The fact that
women nave 10 look before tDey Duy seems
10 account for the other fact that the first
importations are always eccentric, extra
ordinary. They catch tho eye, set shop
pers wondering and secure attention for
the real things TO come afterwards.
The genius of the world spends itself
