gown is on the shirt-waist and skirt
order, but nade very simply and grace
fully.
Accompanying such toilette Is a
smart toque of gree velvet. Its only
trimming consists OF a large blue and
green bird which covers the left side
and droops over the back of the touue.
Desiring touch of grey in the hat a
bird with wing feathers of this shade
might Le selected, but the blue and
green Is quite the most chic novelty Of
the day.
There are thousand ways Of en-
ploying tucks on suits and bodices and
each Is distinctive and pretty. Royal
blue Zibeline is selected for dressy
street suit for spring wear. The gown
is decorated with narrow corded tucks
and pipinSs of blue satin and was de-
signed especially for the automobile
show which is attracting considerable
social attention.
The coat is made with a peplim and
bell sleeves. IL has n rolling collar and
revers of blue satin appliQued with
white lace. The finishing touches are
gained through an imposing silk cord
and ornaments matching the suit in
color.
Beaver hats will be worn very late
and becoming in apropos by the coming
of spring weather will be supplanted by
chiffon designs carrying out the same
ideas In shape and trimming. One OF
the daintiest confections OF the season
is n hat of grey beaver trimmed with
grey and white panne which extends
across the front and over the upturned
brim on the left side, with n long grey
and white plume.
A novelty that promises to be more
than n passing fancy Is shown In the
new gloves. They are made OF suede
and widening with something of acir-
cular fare above the last button are
cuffs OF the suede embroidered In silk
In raised designs. This necessitates the
wearing of the sleeve waistband be-
meath the glove. but as the embroider-
les shown on the gloves are In the
seasons popular shades II Is an easy
matter to select 'ints that will harmon
ize with the gown.
Table linen has been impressed into
service to produce vagary of fashion.
just as towelling was employed last sea-
son. A fetching waist Is designed Of
heavy satin damask. with yoke back
and front and large box plat down
the front. with immense pearl buttons.
There Is plethora Of novelties In the
/ shops, though the majority are Of the
variety classed as transient. The vari-
colored silk buttons finished with cords
and tassels will remain. because there
Is something OF grace In the tassels as
they swing to and fro with each motion
Of the body, and grace Is an element
todary which all energies are concen-
trated.
A collarette really eirlish In Its at
tractlveness Is OF white satin and ac-
| Gordon plated chiffon from a short
cape below the stole Of satin. Accom-
panying the collarette Is hat OF white
chiffon, finely shirred. with cluster OF
velvet roses beneath the brim and close
TO the hair In front.

TRICK ON THE MINISTER.
Why His Congregation Occupied the
Front Pews.

One Of the ministers OF the city-who
for obvious reasons doesn't care to
have his name mentioned in the matter
tells n story OF a trick that one OF
his chums put up on him during the
early days OF his ecclesiastical career.
Tn echum was on sociable terms with
the officers OF the church he attended
and secured the appointment Of his
friend as supply on one OF the Sundays
during the summer vacation.
Now, Jim.' the chum said, after the
young minister had thanked him,
there is one thing would like to have
you remember when you preach at our
church. Nearly all OF our people are
away, but, strange to say, the mapority
OF those that are still in town are deaf.
They haven't been able to hear the
supplies We have had so far. SO please
do use every bit OF voice you have to
make those people hear what you have
to say"
Accordingly. the minister, remember
Ing his chums instructions. let loose
the full strength OF his voice when he
conducted the services of the church In
question on the following Sunday. and
the minister-let II be remarked here,
while not OF especially robust build,
has been endowed by nature with vo-
cal organs OF particularly powerful
variety.
The minister said In telling the story,
that he noticed, with both surprise and
pleasure. that the greater part of the
congregation was seated near the front,
instead OF of in the rear seats, as In
most summer congregations. He didn't
use all OF his strength. he says, in the
opening prayers. but waited for the
sermon, when re went at II for all hc
was worth. At any sign Of restlessness
or nneasiness he redoubled his efforts.
When the service was over one Of the
officials went to the clergyman-the
chum was out Of town. by the way
and. after expressing his interest In the
sermon. said he had been greatly sur
/ prlsed to find the preacher the posses
sor OF such powerful voice. Your
friend" he said. told us that you were
n good preacher. but that your voice
was extremely weak, and hat II was
difficult to hea you unless one sat far
I up toward the front. So we brought ev-
erybody as near the pulpit as possible"
But. understand" the minister
said. that, through some mysterious
dispensation Of Providence, nearly all
| your people were deaf"
| Explanations followed, and II was
well for the chum Just then that he
was spending Sunday out OF town.

They Have Electric Thrills and osn-
tient Impulses.

Long ago Sir J. Gordon Sanderson
showed that electrical manifestations
were capable OF being demonstrated In
the case OF the movements OF the n.y.
catching plant OF North Carolina known
as the Dionaea, or Venus fiy trap" He
deduced from his experiments n close
analogy between the electrical reae-
tions OF the plant and those OF muscle
In animala This observation natural
ly leads TO ward the recognition Of a
common basis for the movements of an
imal and plant life. More recently ex-
periments seem to indicate that such
electrical responses are possibly uni
versal through the plant world. Bose
has shown. for example. that In the case
OF the leaf stalk of the horse chestnut,
or the root of the carrot or rudish, a
current was noted in the stalk from q
part which had been injured to the un-
Injured portion. This corresponds with
what Is known 10 occur In experiments
on animal tissues. When the stimula-
tion ceased and the tissue regained its
normal state "a current OF rest" was OBJ
served to be established, such as may
be presumed to exist In the natural
condition of the plant.
All such experimentation bears very
directly on the question OF plant sensi-
tiveness. Most of us regard the plant
rs n purely vegetable thing. living, but
incapable of resoning. as does the ami
NAL. to stimuli which affect n nervous
system. This view Is founded on mis-
concetion OF life's constitution at large.
Plants live because they contain pro-
toplasm, or living matter. and this mat
ter. as regards sensitiveness at least,
may he regarded as practically idenu-
al In the two great groups OF living ma
ture. Time was when the living matter
of plants was regarded as being confined
within cehs. each OF which was shut OF
from its neighbors. Now we know that
delicate threads of living matter run
from cell TO cell. Hence II may be pre-
sumed that when an impression is made
on the protoplasm of one part OF the
plant II may be transmitted to distant
parts Of the organism. Some plants
sensitive In their nature-show tho re-
suits Of stimulation by the dropping Of
leaves and like actions. But even In
plants w..ch do not exhibit such obvi-
ous results Of stimu mulation we may pos
tulate sensitiveness accompanied by
electrical reactlon), although no out
ward sign of the Irritation is manifest
ed. IL Is because plants have immov-
able tissues. so to speak. that they DO
