coquetries are made of real lace and
form a part of the trousseau of the
rich bride. She is expected to take good
care of them and TO pass them down
to her descendants as heirlooms. for as
every one knows, lace is quite as valu-

a beautiful border of roses. Some of
the lace aprons have pastoral pictures

By Her Walk.

You have seen the woman who jerks
her head as she walks. ] suppose? The
habit is not uncommon, and on close
acquaintance you will find that wo-
man so afflicted is given to fickleness-
She trifles little too much with love,
and is just the woman to miss good
husband and be sorry afterward.
The quiet man will never be happy
with the woman who digs her heels into
the pavement and scurries along as K
she were running a race. She Is busi-
nesslike and most likely the woman To
succeed i'm trade affairs, but her man
ner Is one OF those simple things that
worry the quiet man 10 death.
The girl who cannot walk without
skipping is a very cheerful girl and
enjoys life with much the same gusto
as the girl with an elastic step who
tips OH her toes at every stride. But
perhaps the girl we like most Is the
girl with the brisk. musical walk, who
loves TO peep for a moment into shop
windows and then walk briskly on. and
who goes through life with the fixed re-
solve of getting the most pleasure out
of everything.

HISTORIC DAYS.
New England Women to Give
an Interesting and Novel
Entertainment.

Some very interesting events from
the history of New York and New Eng

New York at the Metropolitan Opera
House The National Society OF New

grand historical entertainment. with
scenes from early New England life, the
Dutch occupation OF New York, the
Revolutionary period and the civil war
The programme will open most appro-

scenes. "The Pilgrim Sabbath" and
THE Marriage of John Alden and Pris-

show the Mayfiower in the distance.
and on the raising OF the curtain Eric

This was on Jan. "a, 1921.
The second scene has been selected as
an example of pilgrim romance There
are others that might have been chosen
with equal propriety. but the society
thought that none would be so interest
ing as this famous episode.
After these scenes will come a glimpse
Of Dutch history in The Welcome to
Stuyvcsant." This has been chosen as
typical OF the Dutch power in America.
Stuyvesant being the greatest figure OF
that period. This will be a noisy scene.

To see their great governor that they

ability To- acquire (which must bring
