But, mothers, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with a kiss!

|
TO try you from morn till night,
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your
bliss,
And, AS thanks for your infinite bless
ings,
Send the children to bed with kiss!
For some day their noise will not vex
! you?
/ The silence will hurt you far more !;
You will long for the sweet children
voices,
For sweet childish face at the door.
| And to press child's face to your bo-
son.
You'd give all the world for just this;
For the comfort twill bring you in sor-
row,
Send the children to bed with kiss !

| The Becoming and Fashionable Hood.
Long ago girls wore opera hoods.
In fact, no woman's wardrobe was
complete without big hood. The
Puritan maids wore long capes with
big hoods, and in merry old England
the little scarlet cape and hood, just
such as little Red Riding Hood wore,
has not yet been forgotten. But
without looking back so far as the
days. of the Puritan maid, the
American woman once had great
liking for hoods OR grandmothers
and even our mothers used to al
ways wear hoods after dark.
Many Of the newest evening capes
have hoods attached, and there are
other separate hoods of various
stx 10 ls
of the hood a correspondent writes
from New York:
"She (the American girD has
adopted hoods ad infinitum-hOods
for the theater, hoods for the opera,
hoods for dinners, for balls, for con-
certs, for sleighing and for skating.
Each girls ingenuity is taxed to the
utmost to have more hoods, more
fetching hoods and greater variety
Of hoods than any of her dear
friends.
"Old costume books have been
pored over, grandmothers' ward
! robes and chests ransacked i,
and from all this study and
| hunting the girls have emerged
more fetching and pretty than they
ever were before.
1.-The Charlotte Corday hood has
been brought into play. The co
quettish cap Viola Allen wears in
The Christian holds first place for
skating. Dainty sllken hoods, lined
with fur, are in favor for sleighing,
and satin hoods in all the delicate
evening shades to match the gowns
are worn to balls and receptions.
| { IA,
crimsons, cerise, blue, grays and
white are most in favor. The style
and shape are at the discretion of
each fair wearer. 1t yet remains for
the American girl to ever fad her
self in suchga9t tight place that she
cannot findasWay out of it and not
reappeaf. Just as seductive as ever. F"
The bigger and fluffier the hood
the more fashionable and the more
in keeping with the evening wraps
which, while having long, sweeping
lines, are yet masses of founces.
There is sort Of elf1sh look about
The winter girl clad in cape and
! hood. When she comes into a
brightly lighted room from the
snowy streets, with eyes and cheeks
aglow, one wonders why the hood
has been so long in disuse, for it is
certainly most becoming. It is easy
to fancy the girl with her fluffy
or crimson hood just from the realm
where fairies live. The big hat is
picturesque, but not half so much so
for evening, at least-as the hood.
Very pretty and comfortable even
ing wraps have been made this sea-
son of eiderdown flannel. White
makes lovely cape in this fabric,
lined-the cape-with quilted satin
in favorite and becoming shade,
and the hood with plain satin to
correspond, for the modish elder
down cape has hood attached.
White silk hoods are delightful
when built up with frill upon frill of
lace, and the white velvet opera or
theater hood is bound to have a
great vogue.
In New York girls are wearing
their hoods on the street cars, as
well as in carriages, for all pretty
and up-to-date maids are by no
means wheeled to places of enter
taihment in carriages. In fact, it is
quite fashionably democratic-and
good for the young mans pocket
book it is-to travel on street cars
after dark.
