THE LADIES' SIDE.

Fair Patient-You are the only physi-
clan of all I've consulted who hasn't adj
vised me to go to Europe. Doctor-They
can afford it. They've got more patients
than have.-Fliegende Blaetter.
Impetuously he pleaded. Must I waltz

her head in sweet confusion and was ST.
lent. How long?" he cried. At last her
lips moved: Long enough a wave of
color swept across her face ito get my

along. Western Figaro.
Jinks-To-day / pleased a pretty wo-
man by telling her that a certain red
faced. snub. nosed, bald-headed mortal
looked like her. Winks-Get outi Jinks-
The red faced. snub-nosed, bald-headed
mortal was her first baby.-Toronto Ru-
raj Canadian.
At one of the balls given just before
Ash Wednesday a pretty woman wore a
trained gown, en- princesse. with low bod
ice of green MORE antique; over IL a sec
ond skirt of gold tulle, light and full,
spangled with gold pale blue satin waist
band over the two skirts, sleeves of gold
tulle and sprays of red roses falling on
the shoulders.
Curls dangling at the back of the head
are once again in fashion. Two are the
required number. but three or four are
permissible. They are attached to the
lower part of the couture, and either
nestle becomingly about the neck or float
off in the breeze. Even the tailor-made
damsel regards this becoming innovation
with favor.
Susie-Say, auntie, dear, you're an old
maid, aren't you? Aunt Emma (hesitat-
ingly)-Certainly, Susie; but it is not
nice of you to ask such a question. Susie

isn't your fault.-Herriedener Laubfrosch.
Singleton-So you can't come, Jack?
But woman's mo" often means yes"
Mr.. Henpeck-Not after marriage, sir.
Never!-Truth.
The fact that many black feathers are
being used and that spring hats this year
are dark in coloring has made their early
wearing possible. On Palm Sunday they
burst into special bloom, showing many
rare and beautiful flowers, with here and
there clumps of dewy leaves or sprays
of foliage as natural as life. Never. in
deed, were artificial flowers more nearly
akin to nature than now.
Butter yellow straws in plain and rough
weaves are much seen. They are very
effective when decorated with black vel
vet and wings and rosettes of any of the
soft yellow laces that now abound for
millinery purposes. Black feathers, quilts
and tulle also ornament the butter
straws elegantly and a red or white silk
rose under a brim against the hair will
give a delightful touch.
Mammals II raining, Bessie? Bessie
(who is looking out of the window)-I
can't make out whether it is raining. but
the trees are leaking awfully.-New
York Journal.
Baby's hats are as fluffy and frivolous
this spring as are mammals. and a sun
hat of pale green straw, trimmed with
black gauze ribbon and loaded with pink
and white clovers, is a charming example
of what we may look forward to.
20 Fancy waists are sometimes made in
the patterns of coats and jackets. Louis
XIV. and Louis XVI. are both repre-
scented, and with unconscious anachron-
ism are sometimes combined. Very smart
are these same coats, and as the mate
rails used in their construction are gen.
orally brocades or satins, with lace
Jabots or ruffies, they add greatly to the
beauty of a costume-and to the expense
as well.
I'm wrath and tears Edith Hewlett had
gone to bed. She had been tucked in
once. given a kiss twice and the lamp
had been extinguished, but the spark of
rebellion still burned In her rebellious
soul.
Mamma" she cried.
Go to sleep. Edith" her mother said
sternly. Il shall not come in there
II want a drink mamma" Edith
pleaded.

There was a brief silence. and then
Edith tried again.
Mamma, come and kiss me good
night"
you've been kissed goodnight. dear,
and / shall not come in again. so go to
sleep at once like a good girl"
There was another pause while the
lonely child cudgeled her little brain for
a new expedient
Mamma" she cried at last, please
come in; I'm so hungry"
You cannot have anything to eat to-
night and If I come in there again." the
mother said, with rising choler. st will
be to give you a good spanking"
There was a longer pause, and just as
IL began to appear as IL the evenings
battle were over the child's voice was
heard again
Mamma" she pleaded, I'm so lonely
in here. Please come in and spank me-
