A Paradise for the Fair Ones

Madison Square, New York, is now
the place OF carnival for an unusual
display-of fine dresses. The Fashion
show was formally opened there on
the 1st inst, and is the first exhibition
OF the kind ever held in this country.
Its object is to set styles and establish
line of unity OF ideas and uniformity
in stylish gowns between American
and Paris naodistes. To bring this
about, European firms have contribut-
ed 80 gowns of every style, and a
large number OF American designs are
being displayed. Otto Adler, delegate
from the Partisan dressmakers, is de.
livering addresses on European fash
ions. Handsome girls during the af-
ternoon and evening sessions are wear
ing the different styles of gowns on
stage. Every style of garment favored
by women in outdoor life will be
shown, Including golf, automobile,
yachting, tennis and bicycle styles.
The live exhibit will show the process
of making many OF the articles OF ap.
parel and will include the silk. loom in
operation.
There is likewise a display OF the
proper styles to be worn at various
functions, including an ideal wedding
costume. The millinery exhibit is on
a large scale and the display of do
mestic and foreign laces is notable.
Another feature of interest is hair
dressing, showing the proper manner
of arranging the hair for morning, af-
ternoon and evening, and in the most
becoming manner in accordance with
the style OF gown to be worn.

THE ERA OF GIFTS.
Children Of Today Receive More Pres

CHluTen OF Iooay Receive More Pres
ents Than Little Ones Of Old.
From the Youths Companion
If the making and receiving Of gifts con-
tributes vitality to the joy of existence, the
children of the twentieth century have rea-
son to congratulate themselves upon their
good fortune. In no way has the increas-
Ing luxury of American life revealed itself
more widely than in this. Our grand
mothers could often count upon their ten
| fingers the gifts of their childhood. The
average American baby of any except the
poorest families probably receives more
gifts from admiring relatives in the first
year of his life than his great-grandmother
received in her first twenty For in her
day, except for the occasional rare treasure
bestowed by some especial kindness of for
tune, there was but one time of gift-mak-
ing and receiving. and that the wedding
day when the friends and relatives brought
their simple presents of household goods
and furnishings and provisions to help fur
nish the new home
Now the bride that Is to be does not have
to wait till her wedding-day for visible as
surance of the affection of her friends. The
announcement of her engagement brings
her multitude of dainty gifts and every
anniversary repeats them. Even before
these, there have. been the delightful tissue

day and Easter, and once or twice the ex-
element of commencement, with it's flowers
and boxes, and frequent presents from WIS.,
iting friends or other friends returning from
journeys. We live truly In an era of gifts
Is the child-or the grown-up child, for that
matter-greatly the happier for all these
gifts? Probably not, and for two reasons
One Is the grave old law of compensation
SO often the leveler of unequal fortunes A
gift cannot Donch tn vyha
ceiveS a hundred as It did to one who cher
ished his solitary treasure.
The other reason Is that the great gift of
all to any life, no matter how few or how
many the years it counts. is love. The
child who has that can easily spare mate
rial wealth. There Is, nevertheless one
other side to this matter of giving If
luxury in living Is increasing every day. as
1t seems to be, 1t Is surely a pleasant thing
that one phase Of 1t is the devising Of new
and graceful ways of showing our SYM

Fishing Up or Down Stream.

FROM OutinR
Fishing up stream has many advocates
who assert that, as trout always lie with
their heads up-current, they are less likely
to see the fisherman or the CLINT of his rod
when the casts are made; that the discom-
fort and fatigue acconIpanying wading
against strong rapids Is amply repaid by
the increased scores secuyedr that the flies
deity thrown a foot or two above the head
of feeding trout float more lfelike down
the current than those drawn against 1t by
the line. when they are apt to exhibit a
muscular power which IN the live insect
would be exaggerated and unnatural.
On the other hand. the down stream"
fisherman Is equally asserttye as to the
value of his. method He feels the charm of
gurgIing waters around hts limbs. a down

fatigues him in each successive step Of

anglers, when fishing q rapid stream, have
learned to adapt their methods to the ply

adopted both methods. fishing up the pools
and down the rapids. thus avoiding the
