NOVEL EASTER GIFTS
PRETTY THINGS TO SEND THE
YOUNG AND OLD.
Flowers Seem Best of All, but Candy

Aside from woman's happy consciousness
OF looking lovely in her new spring garb
there is the pleasure of receiving numerous
Easter souvenirs. Easter gift giving is A
custom which has become well established
Like all well-developed customs, it NAV ba
abused, but it is so far generally observed
with moderation. Flowers, fruits and hon

Potted plants are especially provided for
Easter. These are accompanied by orna-
mental jardinieres, and are far from mex

to send to the elderly female relative whose
fortune will warrant her in leaving you a
snug legacy.

Flowers and Candy.
Young girls like cut flowers, but the ma
ture and worldly matron likes some thing
good to eat, bonbons, perhaps. Moreover,
she will be vastly more critical of the quail
ty of the sweetmeats than she will of the
box in which they are sent. Therein she
differs from the pretty maiden who dotes
on pomp and show, but has not yet learned
that fine box bearing the imprint of
fashionable confectioner may contain very
poor candies Never try to fool the dis

The small child Graves an Easter rabbit
or an Easter egg. If you can crafty this
craving with the addition of some candy
the juvenile receiver will be more than
pleased. Fortunately boxes. hollow plaster
casts or bits of decorated china are modelled
into the shapes of eggs and are surmounted
by chickens, rabbits or bears. The removal
of a cleyerly screened lid discloses the
yawning interior, which must be stuffed
with goodies to make 1t acceptable to any
juvenile friend. One OF the funniest of the

Floral extracts inclosed in beautiful bot

rather fastidious about the individuality of
their perfumes only very intimate friends

daintiest effects may often be arrived at
with very little expenditure. For instance
four or five carnations mingled with maid

in a small vase of neutral color at cost
of not more than so cents. The flowers will
look fresh for several days II the stems are
clipped and the water, containing a few

The Other Trihes.
The Hygiene of Perfumes.

Science at present shows tendency to
turn back to some of the beliefs Of the
ancients regarding scents. Centuries ago
scents were accounted more than luxuries
Pliny records eighty-five remedies derived
from odorous rue. forty-one whose base
was mint. thirty-two balms from roses
twenty-five from lilies. bulb and bloom, and
seventeen medicaments strong in the Vir-
tue of violets. Thus ii appears that the
violet cure for cancer is among the very
new things that surface science scorned be-
cause they were so very old
Now, say various experts, one must
choose and use perfumes with an eye, or,
rather, a nose to health. So it is worth
while to set down the properties attrib-
uted to various perfumes.
Pure violet essence is said to be especially
suitable to nervous people. But il must be
obtained from the flowers themselves, not
the chemical limitations
True flower scents are obtained in three
wayS-hrSt, by spreading fresh blossoms
upon glass thickly smeared with pure grease,
letting them stand in the sun, and as they
wither replacing them until the grease is
fragrant as the flowers; second, by re-
peatedly infusing fresh petals in oil. and,
third, by infusing them in ether, which is
then distilled to a dry solid. After all the
scent possible has been extracted from the
grease it is still fragrant enough to make
the very finest perfumed soap.
All the citrine Scents-bergamot neroli
orange flower water-are refreshing and in
a degree stimulating if properly prepared.
To make a lasting perfume some animal
base is essential-musk, civet or ambergis
II the base is too strong 1t makes the flower
scent curiously irritant. People who feel
themselves faint in a crowded room are
often the victims of several scents stimuli
taneously attacking the nerves. A single
odor no matter how strong, after awhile
deadens the olfactory nerves. whereas a
combination keeps them active.
Lavender is peculiarly suited to high
strung temperaments. 1t is soothing as
-fvzfr hafr 1talrr
stimula ting. Jasmine should always be
used pure. Alone II tones and braces the
whole system, but in almost all of its COM
pounds is singularly depressing. Neroli is
the exception. Jasmine and neroli together
In faint essence make the scent of scents
for all who have hysterical tendencies.

Embroidered Net Gown.

This smart model has just been made
for the trousseau of a wealthy bride.
The material is a delicate pale yellow en-
broidered net over tight-fitting lining
of cream liberty satin. The gown is sim
ply made in two pieces, with a. narrow
belt of the palest blue velvet ribbon. Down
the front to the feet falls straight panel
of the net giving an empire effect. The
bottom of the skirt is trimmed by multi
tude of narrow fluffy ruffies bordefed by
tiny butter-colored Valencennes edge. The
decolletage is bordered by narrow drap-
ing. and the tiny sleeves ARE composed
of two velvet straps and shirred ruffie of
the wide lace 5

Nine-tenths of the waists for these special
dresses are finished fiat in the neck and

dress.
Short Wells.
From pearls have been made the most
charming chaplets. wreaths, coronets and
pins to be used in adjusting the bridal
veil. Short veils depending from tho rear
of the head have come into vogue this sea-
son, and with the hair dressed IoW II is
an admirable notion to fasten the gauzy
breadth at either side the low coil by means
of two round pearl brooches that are
caught in the. centers of two chous of white
tule Sometimes the veil is draped from
the crown where it is made fast and firm
by means of a wreath of tiny pearl flowers,
and sometimes indeed to the veil itself small
pearls caught at intervals.
Wells indeed seem to cling this season
merely by the thread of tradition. The
idea, judging from all the good models dis
played is to show off the fine and graceful
cOiffure as advantageously as possible, and
to this the veil is only a decorative acces-
sorry. Brides are evidently going to take
kindly to some very gauZe wells,
through which. at short intervals, threads
o. silver run. and among the very newest
wells are those of tulle bordered for an incn
ali about with band of pure silver leaf.
Wondrous Bridesmaids Hat.
The bands of white bridesmaids wear
wondrous hats or no hats at all. There is
a growing inclination toward the yelling
of the maids, a fashion that used to pre-
vail many years ago. Such wells they
will wear are mere handbreadths of tulle
falling only. to the waist line. and their
exceedingly fluffy gowns are trimmed not
infrequently with trails of ribbon or mus
lin flowers. The impression conveyed by
all the bridesmaids gowns sent this sea-
son is one of excessive girlishness, and
their chosen flower seems to be star jassa-
mine. Trails of this delicate blossom are

touch of color. 1t is both amazing and in
structive to find what infinite variety and
originality the brides and their dressmak-
ers contrive to introduce into the constantly
repeated list of snowy dresses.
Every material, from white panne to
white Swiss muslin, is being worked up in
behalf of weu~lng glories, and one wife to
be is to have at the altar the company of a
tall and pretty sister dressed in cream
white broS-cloth heavily trimmed with
white braid lace. AS a rule. however the
bride will wear the heavier material be it

assume the light gauzes. By the same rul-
ing does the bride display a train of the di-

Otherwise wear black, which is always

An Ideal Wedding Dress.


A rich antique white satin faced peau de
sole is the very most proper and elegant
material for the bride who is going to cele-
brate her nuptials elaborately. This, where
her own or her parents purse is well lined,
should be embroidered, or it can be treated
with raised floral patterns in white mirror
velvet, or it can be hung with lace, though
as matter of fact, lace is not quite so
much in demand for this sort of function
as formerly.
The skirts of such gowns are gored to
great width at the foot, and the train is
square Henry VIII a full court length,
draped from the right shoulder and the
left hip. A most unusual amount of atten-
tlon and ornamentation is expended upon
bridal trains and when the material for
the brides gown is silk, muslin or lace
draped upon silk, the train is not infre-
quently built in a series of thirty EIGHT to
sixty overlapping frills that begin narrowly
in point between the shoulders and spread
out for a yard and a half on the floor.

clear do not follow the plan of II. C.

has 80 Angora goats. He fences about
ten acres at time and turns in his
goats. The goats eat the foliage of the
under brush and in a short time make
it look like fire had killed the growth.
On young frs too large for them to pull
down they will clean the bark if the
trees are cut down for them. After the
second year, when the brush will sprout
again, if the goats are turned in they
will effectually kill it. Mr.. Crockett

four pounds to the goat. The goats will
