Hard Workers at Play.

When I was a small lad we lived in
brown house with a large yard around it.
] played in this yard every day, but did not
venture into the country beyond. = :, =.
One day as sat in the yard digging in the
dirt with spoon, little boy of the same
age came and sat down by the pile of dirt; he
did not dare to begin shoye1ing until had
given him permission. He asked to help me
and let him, because was very tired and
was glad he had come We sat there digging
until the hole was deep, and the little boy
grew tired, too; but he was not sorry that
he had come, for he liked me very much and
! liked him. We stopped work for that day,
and he went home. The next day he came
over and we set to work catching some young
chickens. This was rather difficult to do; we
worked very hard, and ran until we were SO
tired that we lay down and went to sleep.
When awoke did not find my friend. After
that he came over every day and we always
went to work at something. We were always
friends. A few years ago he moved to the
country, but l shall probably always re-
member him. Edwin Skallerud,

Familiarity with the principles of health

voice culturist. Indistinctness is sometimes
due to carelessness or to a want of self
confidence or self-assertion. There are sub
jects the roof of whose mouth is too high
to promote correct utterance and they must
learn to allow for this defect. Some people,
while apprecating the expression that
should be given to sentences, lack control
over their mouth muscles. The words come
out headlong without modulation or empha-
sis and leave no impression on the listener

FriIIs of Fashion.

scarfs of chiffon in pearl or ivory tints,
with applique OF hand painted black velvet,
are among the spring novelties.
White batiste makes charming frocks for
young girls who have not yet attained to
the dignity of silk and wool gowns.
All belts point down in front, whatever
their width With the thi In gowns, SOFT
pelts OF ribbon are worn knotted at the
back with two ends not much more than
a quarter of a yard long.
In the line of silver novelties, but pri-
marily for boudoir use rather than table
service. is the hatpin holder in French
gray with a saucy little cupid decora ting
the center of the slender column.
=. A novelty in the petticoat line is made of
linen, in different colors and of the same
quality Of which the gowns are built. A
in points inset around the edge and me-
dallions OF embroidery scattered at inter-
walls all over it, is the finish. set on with
narrow insertion OF embroidery.
Tea sets with different flower on each
cup are one fancy. and another is the
pretty vases with violet iris flowers on a
misty gray background. Inkstands, pen
trays, birds and animals in this porcelain
are the fad of the moment, and to the list
may be added dress buttons and files and
hatpins.
Some of the new French walking or "cos-
tune" jackets of soft tan, antelope nun s
gray or biscuit cloth have revers and turn
down collars faced with white cloth over
laid with silk passementeries in green,
black or dark brown-or else the collar and
revers are sprinlled with French knots in
one Of these colors, wrought with heavy
buttonhole twist.
One OF the conspicuous features of the
new gowns is the belt which is as varied
as the figures on which II Is worn. II is
made of silk striped around with black
velvet ribbon, the two combined forming
tab ends at the back, or Of plain silk or
soft ribbon without the velvet, draped a
trifie wider at the back and sometimes
forming a rounded point.
Piques are shown this season in a greater
variety OF effects than ever, including the
so-called robe patterns. which bid fair TO
have summer of unexampled popularity.
A stylish model OF soft pale blue pique has
embroidered figures in white. The skirt
cut in panels shows round the foot an un-
derskirt of finely tucked, plain blue pique.
The sailor collar OF the same is edged with
a band of the white embroidery, also the
vest and lower part of the sleeves.
For the taffetas, crepes de chene and
other soft light fabrics that are so much
used for dressy spring gowns a princesse
effect is almost a necessity for the matron
who wishes TO be really smart. These
gowns are long and sweeping. Some of
them have a princesse back, made of side
pleats running from the top to the bottom
of the skirt. the pleats fiaring toward the
hem TO form the fulness of the skirt. The
fronts finish at the belt 10 form a blouse
and bolero erect and all sorts OF fancy
embroideries. basket braids or ribbons are
used to trim them.

honors are distributed by the king before
the coronation, only FIVE American coun-
tesses will exploit these coronets. These
are the countesses Of Essex, Craven, Dun
more, Egremont and Tankerville, who will
adequately illustrate types Of beauty from
several Of the states.
The countesses will show sixteen sill
yer balls set on silver gilt bands, that
are also chased as jeweled. while the caps,
tassels and fur circles are the same as
those on duchess coronet. Their crimson
velvet mantels, however, can only sweep
the ground for ons-half OF a yard, and the
miniver edging must be but two inches
vide.
Lady Curzon and Lady Newborough must
wear the coronets OF baronesses, and In
comparison with those Of the marchione esses
and countesses, they can best be described
as neat, but not gaudy. Only six silver
balls ornament the silver gilt band, above
which puffs out the crimson velevt cap
with Its golden tassel and turn-up OF err
mine. A baronesses' crimson velvet mantle
trails but three feet on the ground, and
her miniver trimming must measure ex-
actly two inches in width Altogether a
baroness is the least resplendent peeress
at coronation, but then, she Is a glorious
creature in comparison with the wife OF
baronet, an honorable, or a knight These
unfortunate ladies can wear neither cor
onets nor crimson velvet mantles, and,
according to the sentiment Of the moment,
six silver balls and three feet Of train are
far preferable to no balls and no velvet.
Settling n Vexed Question.
Since coronets and court robes have be-
come Of such vast Importance, agitated
femininity, as represented In the British
peernge, has been excitedly discussing
the ways and means of wearing coronets
as easily and gracefully as possible As
everybody knows, the coronet must be

when the archbishop of Canterbury fts the
crown OF England on the head of King Ed
ward. The peeresses carry their coronets
In their hands to the Abbey, holding the
gaudy trifles by two little straps sewed
on just inside the ermine band; and what
the overwrought duchess, ETC., wished to
know was how these gilt and velvet caps
could be made to stay on, when Fashion
mightier than kings. has announced that
the hair must be worn low.
