BLUE JAYS HUNT SNAKES.
The Birds Have Very Strong An
tipathy Toward All ycnom-
GUS Reptiles.

1t is commonly supposed that all
birds, at least those of the small spe-
cies, fall easy victims to snakes. There
are stories innumerable of the manner
in which the reptiles charm the feath-
cred creatures and end by swallowing
them at gulp. But there is one bird
that is not susceptible to the fascina-
ton of his snakeship's eye, and that
is the common blue jay, found in the
woods all over the United States, says
the Chicago Chronicle
A gentleman who has lived for many
years in the country asserts positively
that the blue jay can speak at least
one word as plainly as human being
and that word is "snake." when a
boy" he said recently, 81 killed many
snakes that would have escaped but
for the sharp eyes of the blue jay.
Some species of reptiles will climb
small trees and bushes and trap their
prey in that manner. They feed on
small birds principally. But they
never catch jaybird. He is the snake
detective for the whole bird family

ticulates the word snake as plainly
as l can. He will hop about on limb
and yell snake! snake!' in such a
thrill, excited voice that pretty soon

fly away, but the blue jay splits his
throat with cries until the enemy has
disappeared.

charming him. The jay yelled Snake!

hundred blue jays few to his rescue
and pecked the snakes eyes out, and
literally picked him to pieces, thus saw
ing the life of their companion. Ever
since that time the blue jay, upon see
ing snake, gives the alarm and all
blue jays within hearing will hasten
to the scent and lend their voices to
the warning. This may sound incred-
ulous, but it's true" said the narrator
in conclusion. Not at all, but it's a
good story to forget under the cir
cumstances," added the nervous young
man, whc at once proposed the con-
sideration of the relation of the jocund

EVERYBODY GOT A PRIZE.
Novel Euchre Party, Which Ended
Satisfactorily to Everybody
Who Had Played.

The Long Island society, Daughters
of the Revolution, enjoys the distinc-
ton of having conducted progress
sive euchre contest at which every
one present received prize and
everybody was satisfied, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
The company was mainly confined
to members of the society, and in the
cards issued for the occasion the re-
quest was made that each one desir-
ing to participate would contribute
prize not to exceed in value rs
cents. Although the price limitation
was not strictly adhered to, the
souvenirs were for the most part
of articles of femme use or for orna-
ment. The players. according to the
number of games they had scored,
made their selection at haphazard
from a collection of paper enveloped
articles. The fun came when the
voluminous wrappings were removed
and hat pin, a bondon dish, coffee
spoon, tray, photo frame, book, bit
of china, top or trinket was disclosed.
Considerable igenuity was displayed

frock; and the new materials should
inspire even a home dressmaker to
artistic feats.
Lent is favorite time for home
sewing, and many girl is doing severe
penance by keeping a seamstress to
fashion summer gowns; while the girl
who scorns homemade costumes has
either filled her trunks with thin
frocks and fitted southwark or is con-
ferring with her dressmaker and pre-
pairing for the summer campaign.
For the home dressmaker the gowns
shown in the illustrations are not
problems too appalling, though no
prettier models of simple sort are
to be found in the dressmahing shops,
and all are designed from ideas fur
nished by expensive models

skirts to fit hips perfectly, then grad
ually flow out round the feet, finished
with vandyked trimmings in passe-
menterie, appliques, eta pleasant

Stitched straps and fiat braids trim
many of the new woollen goods and
the new short bolero sacks make the
smartest of outdoor garments for
spring. They slip on easily over tha

buttons, the waistband pouched in
front, and with bishop or banded
sleeves. The neck opens trife to
show collar and tie, and very smart
these boleros are, made in one or two
colors.
These knitted boleros are lined with
plain silk or satin, or with quilted
silk, as may be preferred.
Many of the new spring coats are
sack-shape, and made after the style
of the japanese coat, showing most
handsome embroidery.
Later on, when the warmer days are
with us, we may expect much variety
in the way of small but smart capes
and pelerines. ELLEN OSMUNDE.

We have changed all that. The thin
summer frock turned out by an artist
is still, in majority of cases, untub-
bable, but that is because of its sheer
ness, its, laces, and intricate handwork'
and general elaboration. not because
of its lining. The unlined blouse and
skirt are much in evidence and alb
severe lines are taboo.
To obtain the proper neglige effect
without crossing the line of slouchi-
ness, to compass the artful artlessncss
of the correct summer frock requires
care and thought. In the first place,
the under garments must be adapted
to the frock.
Badly fitted corset covers, petit
coats, ETC., can spoil the lines of any
thin frock. There should be no awk,
ward fulness around waist and hips.
The petticoat should reach to the floor
and have the correct fulness and flare
around the hips.

The "Fex" Trade.

Until comparatively few years
ago Fee, the capital of Morocco, had
practically monopoly in the man
ufacture of the Turkish national
headdress named after 1.-THE "fez"
as it was supposed that the pecu-
liar dull crimson color of the tas-
seled skull cap could only be OBJ
tanned by using the dye made from
certain berry largely grown in the
neighborhood of the city, which is
also much used in the dyeing of mo-
rocco leather. Now, however, France
and Turkey, and to a certain extent
Austria, actively compete with Fee
for what is still very lucrative
trade.

Blouses are as much worn as ever,
and as to variety, there never were
more charming models shown. Some
are tucked, plated, or plain, with or
without yokes; others with plastrons;
others with shaped trimmings in APP

or short jacket fronts, which certainly
afford change, although they do not
suit all figures.

the new cloth robes are trimmed with

in both materials, and machined with
a contrasting silk.
With these French dress robes are
zouaye pieces for the bodice, and so
handsome are the appliques as to re-
quire no other trimming, save little
lace to soften the neck part.
The skirt with fitted hip-piece, and
narrow attached front breadth, is the
leading one for the present, and it is
shape capable of being adapted to a
train, or the newtrottoir length. The
side breadths and back are laid in wide
folds.

tucks and furbelows or, in other
words, not so many stitches will be
needed in frocks of the future, but
trimmings, in the way of appliques,
velvet tacings and inlets, silk garni-
lures, etc, will be in vogue.
Passementerie is to be much worn,
especially on the smart bolero coats
which will be favored this spring.
while silk cords and tassels adorn al
most every outdoor garment.
The shoulder cape gains favor, and
many of the latest bolero coats show
a cape of some sort, and it is said they
will take an important part this sea-
son. In consequence of this, deep lace,
as well as applique collars, are pre-
pared to droop we'll over the shoulders.
Some of the new boleros reach near
ly to the waist, and are left detached
like a short sacque coat. some having
plaits, others being plain; and as to
the neck finish, it is a matter of choice,
for there are small turnover collars,
wide-shaped cape-like collars, or no
collars at all.
1t is an interesting fact that sleeves
will be much smaller and palmer, yet
the bishop or banded shape will hold
its own for long time to come, and
