The Saving Sense of Humor.

To have keen sense of the ludicrous
is not necessarily to be shallow. Some
of the worlds greatest humorists unite
with that sprightly gift deep tender
ness and broad sympathy. Their lips
smile at a spectacle of the absurd at
the same instant that their eyes over
flow in recognizing the pathos that is
its so frequent accompaniment. 1t is
this quick perception of a situation as
a whole, this power to see all its as
poets at once, that gives us just judg-
ments tempered by mercy; severity
lined with leniency, that acts as a saw
ing grace to culprits.
The world would be better and hap
pier if every one in it who is invested
with authority over his fellows had
this peculiar sympathy with wit, which
makes it impossible for one to be a
Eigot and a tyrant. Humor and cruel
ty do not go together, although there
is a kind of counterfeit humor, some
times mistaken for the real thing,
which is essentially oppressive, be-
cause it finds enjoyment in looking
upon that which is at the same time
grotesque and horrible. But this is
far removed from the gentle humor
which mellow their judgments ard hu.
manizes actions.-Florence Hull Win
terburn, in the Womans Home Com
panion.

Lace mitts are still good form. AMI
they can be found in black and white
and in different lengths.
A hat made of strings of pearls in
terwoven with bands of lace is one
of the striking creations for the
spring.
A handsome parasol is of white silk,
covered with black chiffon, put on
plain, and then in the centre of each
gore there is a medallion Of black
lace. A narrow border of heavy white
lace further carries out the scheme of
black and white.
A charming evening gown for
young girl is of rich miroir satin,
veilej with either white, gold or col
ored net, showing a delicate design,
of lace or ribbon applique in floral
design alternating with roses or cam,
elias sewn on in a studied careless.

Modish separate skirts are effec-
lively trimmed with folds of moire
extending from the waist line to the
set fold on either side of the seams
an laid very fiat. Then the flounce is
finished with bands of the same mate
rial, running horizontally and widen
ing toward the back.
Lace still continues fashionable, and
for street and evening wear is held
in highest favor. Tambour lace, relic
of several decades ago. occupies an
important place on the list, although
it is not truly lace-that is, needle
made lace-as it is worked with sort
of crochet hook, with the net
stretched on the frame. The pat
terms, however, are very effective.
Some of the new little frocks which
are made up for small girls open the
full length of the front and little to
one side. The waist is made with the
little straight stock and dicly effect
with trimmings of Hamburg and
broad lapels turning back at the front,
the one at the right being carried
over a little and the end forming the
beginning of the opening. The skirt
is simply made, gored in the front,
and without gather, the fullness of
the back being given by two rather
broad box plaits which begin under
the collar, wnicn is sailorlike in the
back and are carried the full length
OF the skirt.

1t isn't correct any more to have
things daintily pretty for the new
born baby just in order to have them
kdaintily pretty. 1t is no longer the
proper thing to swathe the little body
in yards and yards OF muslin and lace
and put him to bed in pillows of down
and silk perfumed with rose or violet.
Up-to-date mothers no longer vie with
each other on the point of delicate
elaboration. They do not vie at all
any more. Their one object Is to
Lake everything as sanitary and COM
Portable as possible for the new-com-
er. Sometimes they give a sigh for
the pretty bow or frill of lace, but
after all, everything in the new fash
ion looks SO clean and sensible and

Saving the Children.

One of the most interesting and
valuable forms of child saving" work
is that done by the Illinois State
Training School for Girls. 1t is in
Geneva, ILL.,, one hours ride from Chi
cago, and was established to take
young girls from vicious lives and
reform them.
The school is divided into six fam
4lies," each of which has dormitory,
and laundry. The head of each family
is called the mother, and is selected
for her tact and kindness as much
as for her ability to train the girls in
the duties required Each girl is
drilled in baking, cooking, washing,
ironing and sewing. They also milk
COWS and make their own butter.
1t is proposed to establish dress
making and cut,ing department in the
institution, for many of the girls have
a liking for sewing, although they did
not know how to take a stitch When
they came into the home.
In addition to this training the girls
receive common school education in
the branches of reading, writing AMI
arithmetic.
\ 1t Is not all work at the school.
However. The grounds are ample and
beautiful, and the girls go out every
day, while for rainy days they nave
two large playrooms. Part of their
work, even, is regarded as play by
them, as they thoroughly enjoy the
gardening, sewing AMI cooking. Un-
der the training of skilled gardener
they grow most of the vegetables used
in the school, and have the finest
flower garden in the locality. The

Mismnted PeArls Worn.

There is no doubt about feminine
enthusiasm over the earring. Pro
digious pearl buttons are, with the
kind to wear, and their vogue is very
largely due to the fact that pair
of truly magnificent lorty-dollar pearl
ear studs could really not be identi-
fed from a pair worth four or forty
thousand unless jewel expert is
called in to pass upon the compara-
tive merits. This was illustrated the
other day when the custom house Off
GERS seized brace of splendid pink
beads that had not been declared,
and the jeweler who examined them
at first pronounced them genuine, so
admirable was their make. Until very
recently the fashion in ear studs de-
manded that the pair of pearls should
first of all be of unusual size, then as
nearly as possible perfect spheres, and
finally exact mates in color.
1t fell to the lot of doting young
husband to change this mode. His
wife's birthday was due about Thanks
giving time, and on discreetly inquir-
ing her preferences as to suitable
gift he was told that nothing short
of pair of pearl ear studs bigger
than any her friends had would just
fill the aching void in her jewel box.
He wrote and telegraphed and tele-
phoned, and cabled, in a way doting
American husbands nave, and his, or
Low for Of hn or asf
pearls in the market. A New York
dealer got one in Paris and one in
London, and both were guaranteed to
be as big as ordinary gooseberriss.
There proved, however, to have been
little hitch in the instructions, that
nevertheless had been interpreted lit
orally as to size, for one pearl was as
black as London SCOT and the other
as white as snow There was no
doubt about their size, though, and
the wife, rather than hurt the feel
ings of her faithful knight, put the
mismatched pearls in her little pink
ears and went to dinner Of excep-
tional splendor.
The next morning she woke up and
found herself as a leader of fashion.
and since that dinner party the women
with mated pearls" as they are
called, have been negotiating ex-
changes at their jewelers. or among
themselves. Mated pearls are not ''in
it" with mismatched pairs, and though
black and white bead are at the top
of the list, green and pink, white
and a yellow, are acceptable seconds
in style.-Chicago Recorj-Herald.
