Tho latest novelties in millinery are an
affront to nature. Black velvet violcts,
black satin peoples and brown velvet roses

recently TO endcavor to recover some jew
clry stolen beyond doubt by sentimental
eyed charwoman who had seen better days,
and who had amused me by quoting from
Macbeth" while she brandishcd her
scrubbing brush on high. ''You see, " said
to the man at the desk, 'thc woman told
mo such hcartrending tale Of her lost
fortunes and seemed SO much above her
unfortunate position that / engaged her

The flower markets in big towns are al
ways one of tho spring novelties. Society
women get up at dawn and stand in the
freshness Of the day bargaining for pots OF
pansics and bachelor buttons There IL
something SO rcvivfying about it nll-sC
tempting, so Joyous! After the flower
markets open the spring fever for greer
lanes quickly follows, and n quick cxodu'
to the country is the result.
Women are at present divided into two
known classcs-thosc who want suffrag,
and those who don't. The cmancipatet
woman calls the other "undcveloped.
The woman fighting for fcmininity an,
who rather enjoys leaning on the lord o
creation calls her opponent masculine
bold" This division in the camp was un
expected, and tho situation becomes still
more interesting when one remembers tina
there is another vast mass who say moth
ing-the women who are utterly indiffer
ent about the whole thing, the womei
whose view of the question is represcnte
by a shrug which EXPRESSES nothing.
Among the cccentricitics in hosiery nc
tice silk stockings with spangled insteps
There are also novelties of iridescent silk
the upper part patterned on the contrar
lines to the lower White stockings, elat
orately openworked on the instep, will b
much worn with the white canvas ties tina
look so natty with summer outing frock.

Plankcd shad is the very thing wit

following directions: Nail "A shad to an oa
board and stand il before the fire, the low
end of the board standing well in a dri

and nail it on so that the other side cool
nicely. Serve on platter, with butter.
