'The Pima Indian is taking naturally
to hats, trousers, shoes and all the things
that decade ago he despised as frivolous
and useless innovations" said man from
Arizona. "He has tasted of the white
mans canned salmon and has found it
good He has tasted Of the white mans
fire water, and he desires closer acquaint-
ance with a people who can evolve 50
much tribulation and Joy combined from a
single peck of grain. He has even tried
the plan of working little, instead Of
lolling in the wattamotie wickiup while
the squaw rustled for feed. The expert
ment of work has proved satisfactory, for
did it not bring forth large white pieces Of
metal, which the white man was pleased
toAccept in payment for tobacco and even
for the water that brought back on a gal
lop the blithesome days Of boyhoodf And
another thing to be considered is that the
jack rabbit is becoming scarce, and the
Pima who would have meat must raise 1t
himself. They have not quite come to the
point where the COWS are kept for milking
purposes, but they will get there before
long. Within another decade will come a
time when from the Pima nation may be
picked many individuals who will bear
almost every qualification that is deemed
essential to American citizenship New

tone are some of the means used to give
individuality and effect to the new jackets
The illustration shows striking spring
costume. The godet skirt is of brown
serge and is entirely plain. The bodice is
of velours chinois. The full fronts open
over plastron of the same material and
are connected by two straps of black satin
fastened by buttons. Two similar straps
adorn each shoulder. The plastron has a
yoke of white satin, trimmed with lace
and an application of black satin. Epau-
let's of white satin and lace fall over the
tops Of the brown serge sleeves, which are
finished at the wrist by plated cuffs of
velours. The belt is of black satin.

LILY TOQUE.

consists of sprigs of foliage alone, to be
employed as trimming. Exaggerated silk
and velvet pansies are also seen.
Ostrich feathers, both large and small,
are much used. They are always fragile
and always beautiful and require renewing
even more frequently than do flowers In
order to look we'll.
Immense quantities of tulle and other
diaphanous material are to be employed for
summer millinery ON both hats and bon
nets. There is no limit to the number Of
times these delicate, easily wilted fabrics
must be changed, but while they are fresh
they are very pretty.
The width of headgear seems to be by
no means diminished by the reduction in
the size of sleeves. Broad trimmings con-
tinue to be the rule, although they are
generally unbecoming.
Some of the large imported hats have a
long scarf at the back, composed of chiffon
or tulle with applications and frilled end
of lace. These are very effective and charm
ing, but are only suited to long purses, as
women who cannot afford variety of hats
will find such fanoiful millinery not at all
useful.
The illustration given today shows a
novel capote. 1t has small crown OF black
spangles, which is surrounded by white
lilies. A high spray of white lilies stands
up on the right side, while below 1t is a
butterfly of plated black lace, held at the
middle by paste ornament. The buds
and foliage OF the lily are introduced In
the trimming. JUDO CHoLLRT

THE ChlcAGoGlRLMETeR.
A Windy City Litterateur Thought IL New,
but the Editor Called Him.

A Chicago litterateur of superior
originality entered the regal apartments
Of the literary editor, and, bowling po-
litely, he drew manuscript ON that
gentleman before he had time to get out
of range.
II have here" he said, IAN entirely
new brand of poetry which 1 would like
to have you glance over"
Whats the brandr' inquired the
Lit. ed. with great caution.
ut is written in what have called
the Chicagogirlmeter, and have call
ed it that as slight tribute, sir, to the
fairest beings the Creator, sir, has ever
blessed the earth with"
"You refer to Chicago girls, pre-
sumo, said the lit. ed. with freezing
hauteur, as slight tribute to large
quantity of poems in petticoats whom
he knew and who never saw Chicago
in their lives and don't want to-
eyes, sir, " replied the visiting litter
ateur. Permit me to read you the
poem, and he read as follows:
Chow neat,
How sweet.
"Therep' he went on. "Isn t the very
soulfulness of poesy in those simple
lines?'
SIS that all?'' was the surprised in
quiry.
"Surely. What more would you have?
Can one paint the rainbow, or gild"-
Come OFF, interrupted the literary
editor in his classic idiom. "In the
days of old Rameses that meter had par
esis. What are you giving US, anyhow"
The Chicago gent appeared to have
had his feelings hurt
81 beg your pardon" he responded.
81 must insist that my brand is entire
ly new"
"Maybe your brand is, =" admitted tho
literary editor. ''but your poetry isn't
But why in thunder do you call it Chi
cagogirlmeter?'
The litterateur smiled with ineffable
sweetness, and with gesture of the
most romantic sentimentalism laid his
hand lightly ON his heart.
Because, he murmured sweet and
low-"because it is q poem with two
feet, just as Chicago girl is. %
He gazed with rapturous dreaminess
down on the literary editor, and that
worthy gazed critically at the verse
which the poet laid before him.
