THE EASTER FAIRY.

with her. The next was Easter Sun
day. What more natural than that
the talk should turn that way, and
that the girl should tell about the
music they were going to have at st.
Elizabeth's.
Easter Sunday that year was day
that made itself famous. Never was
more weather to the hour. It was
cold, and it blew and stormed little,
and sleeted some, and rained good
deal.
Phyllis got up and looked heart
brokenly out of her clearinghouse
window over world of wet chimney
pots. On her dressing table was
bonnet, bonnet that had absorbed
her attention for days, and that
showed more artistic ability than any
master at the League ever credited
her with. She had made it herself,
partly because she knew exactly what
she wanted better than any milliner
could, and she had very clever fingers
and understood volumes about the be-
coming, if she could not draw.
The bonnet was made all of daisies
great white, yellow-hearted daisies
and there was daisy pin to fasten
the strings with. There was no law
against her having bonnet, was
there? No one need attach any signi-
ficance to that, surely.
But it was lovely bonnet, and now
such Sunday!

A Proper Clothes Closet.

A woman who investigated how the
mnumerable suits and jackets are
.aken care of in the shops where these
are offered for sale discovered that
he necessary economy Of space comes
from the use of metal rods upon which
The garments are suspended on wire
hangers. She promptly applied the
same principle to her own limited sup
oily of closet room, with the result
that she is able now to utilize the
waste space that can be found in any
,lotbes press, however small. From
nearby plumber she got all the gas
oipe tubing she needed cut in the re-
4uired lengths. These were mounted
N the closet by simply securing them
On the hook boards, taking care that
;hey fitted snugly between walls.
Two or three dozen of the cheap wire
hangers completed the closet outfit,
and now skirts and bodices, wrappers
and jackets, are kept within easy
each in compact space and in good
shape. In particular is the parlol
floor closet, when thus equipped,
iound to be much more useful, for
there may hang the reserve overcoats
md heavy storm wraps of the entire
aousehold, which have heretofore
often proved too bulky and unman-
sgeable for it.-New York Post.

Destroying the Water Bugs.

1t is dangerous to use the sures,
method of getting rid of water bugs,
that is, bichloride of mercury solution
used to ''paint" infested places. But
lime, patience and powdered boraS
will meet all but the worst cases.
Sprinkle the borax wherever the pests
are likely to find their way, as along
pipes, cracks and angles, around the
edges of shelves, etc. they will dimin.
ish in number and at last disappear.
1t is surprising how keen these little
pests are to avoid substances which
have been doctored for their benefit,
but a patient course of vigilance and
cleanliness will drive them away.
Sometimes they are only paralyzed
and not killed outright by the poison.
In the morning the infested places
should be gone over early and all the
dead and partially paralyzed bugs be
swept up and burned. The smoke OF
burning gunpowder is said to be
deadly to them, but must be used with
.he utmost care in small quantities,
lampening the powder first and burn.

WHEN LOVE LIVES.

When all the world, for Springs sweet sake
Its festal robe of green put on,
And flowers were gay in field and brake
Because the Winters power was gone;
Within the white-pearled hawthorne tree
You heard the mated thrushes sing;
You had no word to say to me,
For all your thought was of the Spring.
AMI when thousand buds uncured
A thousand scents your garden knew,
Ana when the wonder OF the world
The Summer world grew clear to you;
You heard the skylark overhead
Between green fields and sky of blue;
You mad no heart for me. you said,
Summer had won your heart from you.
But now the woods grow thin and brown,
Ihe'dry ferns shiver in tho breeze,
The year puts off her bridal gown,
Puts on her mourning draperies.
Down in your orchard robins sing;
All Can you bid me go, my dear?
For Summers gone, and gone is Spring;
'Tis Love alone lives out the year.

Two girls were chattering behind

"Don't you think any one will wear
spring bonnets?" Phyllis asked soto
voce of the good-natured man at her
elbow. There was such curious note
in her small, plaintive tone that he
turned and looked down at her with a
little curiosity, and then he said, that
dear perjured man, who knew that he
did not know a thing of what he was
talking about:
''Of course they will. Many ladies
always do, no matter what the weather
they look upon it as sort of religious
duty" and he twinkled at her; but
Phyllis never had much sense of
humor, and now there was no more in
her than in catechism.
Phyllis had never before regarded a
mans opinion on feminine attire but

again; boarding house parlor is such
