Fashions For Girls.

Red is n favorite color, and has been
so all winter, for street gowns, and
for the spring light gray and all the
different shades CT blue are TO be worn
in covert cloth. Green also is on the
list. The light gray cheviot gowns
made with faring but plain skirts, the
medium length REFER coat, double
breasted and fastened with fancy but
tons. are IN exceedingly plain style of
street gown, but very smart one, and
when the coat is lined with white
satin and the revers are faced with
white or pale blue or tan, embroid-
cred at the corners with black and
white, it does not look in the least too
plain The blue that is preferred is q
bright sapphire blue, and again the
trimming is put only on the revers, col
lar AMI cuffs, the only kind allowed on
the skirt being bias folds of the same
cloth. The closc-itting military jack

Many of the natty pedestrian skirts
are of hair line cheviot. that is. the
skirts for spring and summer wear.
The material is not too heavy for com
fort and yet is of sufficiently firm tex
ture TO stitch effectively. rows OF ma
chine stitching being still the most ap'
proved mode Of finish around the bot
tom of the skirt. For these skirts navy
blue cheviot is extremely popular.
A novel touch Of trimming is seen
on the bodice of one of the new spring
gowns. The material is cream colored
canvas. one of the seasons favorite
materials. The bodice is made with
deep yoke of lace, which is edged with
curved and stitched band of canvas;
then upon either side of the centre four
tiny balls or puffs of the cloth depend
from narrow silken cords. The cords
are about three inches long, and at the
upper ends are caught just above the
stitched band.

Queen Uelena's Courtship.

Queen Helena of Italy, the most
beautiful Queen in Europe, was born
in the Black Mountains. where her
father, Nikita, Prince of Montenegro,
held his poor but picturesque court.
1t was thought that she would become
Empress Of Russia. and with this end
in view she was sent TO the Smalna
Convent at st. Petersburg.
In the uniform of the convent, un-
der the name of Helena Nicolajewna,
she made heroic efforts to master the
Russian grammar. but her love was
fer painting. for the violin and for
cooking. which she learned nj the COM
mand of her father. who believed that
every woman should have trade or
profession.
The glimpses OF Russian court life
which she had in her regular Sunday
visits To Princess Nenia, did not i'm
press her greatly, and when Victor
Emmanuel III. then Prince of Naples,
visited Russia to attend the coronation,
he met Helena and promptly became
devoted 10 her.
King Humbert was very fond Of his
daughter-in-law. and playfully called
her "the little mountain savage" IN
recognition OF her unroyal ways. and
when he learned her genius for cook
ing. with mock sclemnity he conferred
upon her the title Lady High-Cock 10
