He was strolling along very content

with her fluffy parasol swinging from his
hand They made the usual West Point
trio.
There was every reason why Stanton
should be contented that summer after
noon. 1t was one day within the end of
his graduation week, and he had man
aged to pull through so far in pretty good
shape. His family had come up to see
him leave the Point, and had brought
with them the winsome little piece OF
the South who was his companion at the
moment. 1t was a perfect day in early
June and the path they had taken was
the prettiest one the Point affords.
In the midst of so many pleasant things
Stanton was perhaps an ungratefuI fellow
to feel disconnected. But the truth was
he had a fierce desire to smoke. He
waited until they were well along in the
thick of the path, and then he turned to
little Miss Howard desperately.
Il say he asked, would you care a
bit if l smoked a cigarette?''
She turned ner chin up and looked at
him. Miss Towards head was exactly
the height of the third shiny button below
his shoulder. That button was Just over
his heart.

smiling, but can yoS? Is it allowed?''

understand what it means to fellow
that longing to feel tobacco between his
lips, to taste the little bite that it leaves

and for the spring light gray and all
the different shades of 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 breast
ed and fastened with fancy buttons, are
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,
embroidered at the corners with black
and white, it does not look in the least
too plain.
The blue that is preferred is a bright
sapphire blue, and again the trimming
is put only on the revers, collar and
cuffs, the only kind allowed on the skirt

favored style this spring, the fronts COW

NO MORE MUD PIES
ONCE FASHIONABLE GAME DE-
SPISED BY UP-TO-DATE
CHILDREN
SAND STORES ARE THE RAGE
Bottles Filled with Highly CoIOred
Sand Now Fetch Fabulous Prices
in PinS-Other Spring
Games.

Time was, in children's land when the
surest harbnEer of spring was the fes-
tive, if unappetizing, mud pie With the
first robin, the first courageous blade of
grass, the first Shy crocus, appeared the
sticky pastry invariably arranged in neat
rows on smooth bits Of board, ready for
early customers. But the actual selling
Of the mud pies-their market price was
generally two pins each-was always the
least part OF the fun. 1t was the patting
of them into shape that was a delight;
the slipping of ones fingers down into
the soft, black. oOze that was the sensa-
ton worth working for.
In the annals Of children's land, how
ever. must be reluctantly chroncled the
passing of the mud pie. Like mumbly-
pes and jackstones, the making of the
mud pie has been relegated to the list
of questionable games, and little Miss
Up-To-Date would turn up her small
nose in high disdaln were the once fas-
cinating game suggested to her by a
youthful admirer. She would, perhaps,
in its place, propose the keeping of a
sand store. For the sand store has sup
planted the mud pastry. Like everything
else that is modern and fashionable, the
keeping Of a sand store is an intricate
and exciting occupation. 1t necessitates
first of ALL goOd-sized box, a packing
box viii do nicely, if it can be obtained,
though the really perfect article is the
piano box. \ shelf is fitted up in the
open side of the box and d quantity of
sand procured. Then the interesting
work begins. Dyes are begged, borrowed,
or. in extreme cases, when parents are
both generous and tolerant, purchased.
The sand is separated into little piles and
dyed in various hues, and then the store
is opened for business. One pin buys a
spoonful of the cOlored sand, apd there
are no bargain days. AS soon as a shop
is opened, it naturally becomes the ardent
desire of every child in the neighborhoOd
to possess herself of a good-sized glass
bottle filed with the different colored
sands. What the button string was to an
earlier generation the bottle Of colored
sand is to the present generation.
But little Miss st. Paul has other spring
amusements besides keeping sand stores.
When the snow melts and small dry
patches Of pavement become visible
skipping stones are hunted up and mar
bles are collected. The latter game used
to be considered strictly a boys game
but the small girl who cannot shoot mar
bles as straight as her brother nova
days is not apt to be popular. AS the
tag and pullaway will take the placG~of
marbles, skipping ropes and sand stores,
and these games will last until the very
warm weather, when even the livelest
of children are content with hammocks
pictures and other nOn-fatiguing amuse-
ments.

Spanish Lace scarfs.

Make haste to get out your Spanish
lace scarf. Let it no longer repose in a
back corner of your chiffonier drawer,
neither in the chest up stairs. Not only
is the rich, heavy Spanish lace in
again, but the scarfs are particularly
it Some fancy them lined with gay
silk or chiffon and worn around the neck
with the ends hanging straight nearly to
the feet in front. The fashion of wearing
over the hair, more or less knotted I'M
der the chin, is being revived, too and
for this they may be used as they are
or lined with chiffon.
All things considered though a clever
actress has hit upon the most novel way
of utilizing one of these lengths of lace
and at the same time emphasizing her
slenderness. This long strip of lace is
simply caught on at the shoulders, the
top edge of the lace resting on the bare
skin, and pulled snUgly in at the waist
line. Since the edge is straight it digs far
in when pulled around at the sides, and
then curves out again to follow the hip
curve, continuing the length of the splen-
did train. On a dress of a light color
the Wearer appears very much more sler-
der than she is.
In the case in question a few black an
piques in front (the dress was of cream
lace served to balance the scheme, and
three poppy velvet rosettes caught the
scarf down one side of the train at the
back. Outside wishing to look slenderer,
this scheme is stately and fetching, and it
is also good on the front Of a dress, es-
pecially if it hang straight on a princess
dress.

Among the carnival festivities Of Paris
fancy dress balls and diners de tetes held
high favor. The latter are particularly
in vogue, and it seems odd that New
and success in entertaining, have not
recognized the possibilities Of these jolly
and farcical little dinners
In the first place, the guests are not put
to the trouble of planning and procuring
complete fancy dress costumes, a matter
involving an amount Of care and expense
that often makes the invitation a nuis-
ance rather than a pleasure. Only the
heads of the guests are in fancy dress
at diner de tetes, but there is a chance
for much individual ingenuity even in
this narrowed field
At a recent Paris dinner the guests
were attired in regulation modern fashion
but from their threats up they were
