There Is no sober minded person, / believe, who VIII not
agree in the main with Dr. Keitl's contentious. Plain Iv-
ing and high thinking are processes pretty much at a dis
count IN the present age. That the world eats too much
and drinks loo much. and spends much money on vain
show and folly, we may well accept as truisms. The mod
ern craving after luxury has had effects that are by no
means limited 10 the upper ten. The race after pleasure
is one Of the hardest to sustain, but II is pursued day by

NESTING WOOD DUCKS.
The courtship Period Is Followed by
Avery Prosaic Married Life.

The Courtship Period Is Followed by
Very Prosaic Married Life.
When a pair of wood ducks find
water and a hollow tree to suit, little
time is lost in preparing the nest.
This task and the covering of the
eggs is performed by the female, for
to the best of my knowledge, the
male does little more than sit around
on handy limbs and look pretty. Dur.
ing the period of nest building, and
while the duck is laying, he Is the
beau ideal of a handsome and loving
cavlller, ever attentive, and seemingly
most anxious as to her whereabouts
should she happen to get out of his

honeymoon he seems to feel rather
bored with the whole business. and
gradually he gets clubby-i. e. wan.
ders from his own freside and hunts
up another drake or two to help him
loaf away the summer. The busy
little duck keeps her own counsel and

| gown Is on the shirt-waist and skirt
order, but made very simply and grace
fully.
Accompanying such a 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 toque.
Desiring a touch of grey in the hat a
bird with wing feathers Of this shade
might be selected, but the blue and
green is quite the most chic novelty OF
the day.
There are a thousand ways of en-
ploying tucks on suits and bodices and
each is distinctive and pretty. Royal
blue zibeline is selected for a dressy
street suit for spring wear. The gown
is decorated with narrow corded tucks
and pipings of blue satin and was de-
signed especially for the automobile
show which is attracting considerable
social attention.
The coat is made with peplim and
bell sleeves. 1t has 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 CONNECTIONS Of the season
is 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 long grey
and white plume.
A novelty that promises to be more
than a passing fancy is shown In the
new gloves. They are made of suede
and widening with something Of acir-
cular flare 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 1t is an easy
matter to select tints that will harmon
lie with the gown.
Table linen has been impressed into
service to produce a 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 a 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.

Effectiveness is of white satin and &C

panying the collarette is hat Of white
