should label it as a guess.
On, every year hath its winter,
And every year hath It's rain
But a day is always coming
When the birds 80 North again!
When new leaves swell in the forest
And grass springs green on the plain,
And the alder's veins turn crimson
And the birds go North again.
On. every heart hath its sorrow,
And every heart hath its pain
But a day is always coming
When the birds so North again.
It's Che sweetest thing to remember
If courage be on the wane,
When the cold, dark days are over
Why. the birds go North again.
Ella Hgginson, in Philadelphia Times.
The lenten gowns, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer's Paris letter. are in subdued
tones, and are heavily stitched. The
trimming may be of stitching, tucks and
bands of passementerie, or bands o.
stitched cloth. but whatever the choice IT
is placed In curVing lines, and on the SKI
the rows Of stitching are in oversklrt
styce.
one variety In the tucked skirt shows
the tucks running around on the lines OF
the stitching These Iucks are put on the
skirt usually and not cut in it, They
are stitched down on both sides II the
material is heavy, and if it is light onfy
on one side In an the tucked skirts the
tucks seem 20 be growing gradually
larger.
A lovely little gown is of gray cloth OF
the tone known as girls clair" and when
is of that blue gray tone seen in parucu-
lar kind of pigeon. There is polonaise'
caught up into these ripping draperles,
which reveals a petticoat in front Of white
cloth, stitched In many close horizontal
lines.
Black and white gowns VIII be worn
great deal during lent.
We all know, says Dorothy Dix In the
New Orleans Picayune, that servants are
one of the inscrutable instruments OF
providence for continually reminding US
that all happiness is transitory and That
any morning we may have TO get up and
get the breakfast, We can't understand
for the life of us why a cook should have
as many caprices and as unsettled tenn
per as a prma donna, or why she always
has a fatal perveTslty about lettl1g the
roast burn when there's company, ana,
above ALL it is an uufathomable mystery
how a housemaid can make up beds for
twenty years aud never learn how to tuck
sheet in so that it will stay at the bot

Do YOU see one whose temper is so fully
under control 1t fits her to govern her
subordinates? or do you see woman
who calls her irritabihty nerve, and who
is so ignorant she is al the mercy of every
hireling? After ALI If your servants lack

much intelligence do you expect to hire

much knowledge and ability as you ought
to have, and as you expect them TO have.
they wouldn't be IN anybodys kitchen at
that price The trouble Is that We expect
a Gordon bleu at a sculery maids wages,
and we grumble because We don't get 1t.
Don't you really think. now, that the mis-
tress being as unreasonable as the maid
is at the bottom Of the servant question,
and that if you were thoroughly capable
of managing your end of the business
there wouldn't be so many bitches in
hers?
Then there's gossip. Isn't II the funniest
thing on earth how we disapprove of 1t
in theory and practice it in private? SO
shocking" we say, with a self-r.ghteous
shudder, the way some people talk about
their nelghbors. Really. it's gotten 50

so vulgar don't YOU know, but of telling
things" Sometimes / think that we, who
make such precautions of not gossipnS,
are about the nneanest and most dangerous
of the lot. A recognized s'andalmonser Is

Those who really do the harm. who blast

of us who get our heads together and say,

on the full tide Of SANDER.
Another thing that Should appeal to our
sense q humor IL not our consciences, is
the highly moral attitude we take to-
wards other peoples follics, when we are
guilty of just the same things. When we
hear that the Newriches have moved up
town and given bah at which they cut
