A Pleasing Illustration

He looked upon her eurving throat,
And then he said: Ny bOnny Kate,
Just what it is I'll Illustrate"
His arm stole round her pretty neck,
She let II steal without a check,
And then he drew il snug and tight,
And smiled with grave yet deep delight.
They draw II close, ne said, like this.'
And then he snatched a hasty kiss.
They draw II till the victims smOther!"
And then he paused to snatch another.

Perhaps, says the New York sun. the
preutiest effects of an are obtained in
the summer gowns of organdie. lawn or
these light costumes, and usually a con-
linen. Silk is the foundation for all
these light costumes and usually a con-
trasting color is used. With the Madras
gowns much embroidery is used. and there
are panels of embroidery upon the skirt.
Skirt decoration is quite permissible upon
these thinner gowns, and lace-edged frills,
ruches and embroidered designs are ex-
tensively used. The value of ribbon in
brightning up a light costume has not
been lost sight of. and bows and stream
ers are making their annual appearance.
Nothing so irritates me-" says a wo-
man 10 the New York Times. ''as
the experience of a walk abroad
on a windy day when 1 am wearing a
big hat. No hatpins or patent attach
ments suffice to keep it secure, and the
effort 10 keep it on my head, with the
certain knowledge that my couture is be-
ing pulled to pieces. makes me very cross.
The day before Easter, which was one
of the windiest days of the spring,
CHANGED TO wear a light, close-ftting bon
net, and I was agreeably surprised to
md that disappointing day of shopping
and other errands left me at its close
less fatigued and much more serene than
usual. 1t never occurred to me to con-
meet the condition with my choice of
headgear until a day or two later, when
I CHANGED to read a letter from Lon
don physician written to the Telegraph of
his city. In it he speaks or having been
much called upon of late to prescribe for
a peculiarly irritable kind Of headache,
which seemed TO afiiict its victims most
when they were wearing their mats. II
occurred to him 10 examine these head
coverings, and he found them to be very
much alike-large structures or straw,
with masses of flowers and ribbons tow
ering nigh into the air. The weight it
self is too heavy for the delicate Uranium
anxiety a lady must feel in keeping such
a thing properly poised on -her head.
The physician goes on TO say that, in
addition TO some simple remedies, he
prescribed light, reasonable bOnnets,
and such of his patients as followed
this part of his treatment were complete
ly cured; the Others still suffer. In fur
ther comment on the subject, the pro-
fesSional man says that the husbands of
his patients complain of the disagreeable
manner of their wives while wearing these
torturing hats, and he does not wonder
at it. He cites the discomfort Of a man
with tall hat on windy day, and af-
firms that IF we were not q StrOng-bra1n-
ed people, our asylums would have been
full long ago from that very cause. Wo-
men are not able to bear the same strain
successfully he says IN conclusion, and
If they persist in wearing hats taller and
more difficult 10 manage than mems
nothing but domestic, even moral and
mental distaste can ensUe. I'm not sure
that l indorse him quite up TO that sell
GUS point, but l believe there is more
relation between hats and headaches,
light snug bonnets and comfortable
frame of mind than appears on the sur
face"
Ribbons of all widths lowered striped,
and plain, are a conspicuous feature of
trimming on thin gowns this season.
Bands of ribbon extend over the should
ers and down either side Of the front of
the skirt with bows at the end. Wider
ribbons are used to face revers and form
pointed epaulets over the sleeves. Bows
Of ribbon are on the shoulders, at the
waist, and neck, and faSten down the cen
ire of the shirt sleeve puffs with great ef-
feet. Especially new, too. are the. wide
gauze sash ribbons, satin edged and pat
termed all over with soft flowers.
The go-ahead girl was discouraged. She
had been reading the want advertise
ments in the hope of finding something
that would suit her. SO that she could go
out into the world of business, says the
New York Press and make a name for
herself like the typical new woman. She
had never been out to work, and she
knew little about the devious ways of men
who require women to help them in solic-
iting subscriptions for books She saw
a hopeful advertisement in one of the
daily newspapers, and she answered II, in
her best chirography and diction. The
advertisement said that a lady was wanted
70 take a position in an office, and that
there was lucrative position and light
employment for the right person.
That IS splendid" observed Miss Co
ahead, to herself. as she buttoned her
glove and sailed forth.
The office to which she was directed was
downtown, and was in an imposing build
ing. IL IS true that she had to ascend in
me eievator.to the tenth story, but all the
grandeur of the vast building belonged
70 each tenant, and she did not feel that
mere was any loss of dignity to her
prospective employers in the fact that
they were near the roof.
